Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 109

As he started to analyze the patterns, he tried to recall some of the details he found.

When the war began and up until it became more and more violent towards the end, there was always a group of mysterious men who wore black robes that kept appearing in every corner of the paintings, but their faces were always not shown clearly.

Darren closed his eyes to think. A copious number of paintings flashed through his mind.

Eventually, an idea popped up in his mind and his face lit up in realization.

"The rule cultivator…" he quietly murmured.

He opened his eyes and suddenly started to roughly skim through the paintings again.

"Although these black robed men had never actively participated in the battles, they must have been an indispensable part of the war. They must have been rule cultivators and were absolutely much more talented than Mr. Wan," he added. As he looked through those patterns again, he knew that he was right.

Darren was shocked when he was able to kill a competent fighter of the Wonder Realm with the rune. The fact that a rule cultivator had such extraordinarily strong powers to create the powerful rune still had not ceased to astonish him. From that point onward, he became determined to find the truth behind the enigma. However, since Wayne had passed away, he still had not been able to figure it out.

While Darren was deep in thought, he suddenly recalled something, the memory rushing to him.

He remembered that when he had walked into that mysterious bronze coffin, he was bewildered by the number of tombs he found inside and the compellingly powerful auras he felt emitting from inside of each tomb made his blood run cold. He remembered seeing some words inscribed on one of the tombs, "I died in this divine coffin when I went on a campaign with the lord of martial arts to fight outsiders who committed aggression against the land..."

It was possible that those few words were a recounting of the same war that was in the paintings.

Since Demon King Andrew's tomb was just one of the first ones that he was able to reach, he was certain that there were still a great number of tombs and countless unsung heroes deeper inside the coffin that he was not able to look at.

"Hey Darren, you still there?" Elsa jokingly said, snapping him out of his thoughts. Darren shook his head as he came back to his senses.

"What were you thinking about?" she asked.

Darren turned to look at her. "It might be immensely difficult for us to escape from this maze. This maze was created by a rule cultivator and we don't know a thing about rule cultivators," he gloomily replied.

Elsa furrowed her brows in confusion and asked, "Rule cultivator?"
