Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 218

Although he had eagerly sought signs of sword intent and should have been overjoyed by his discovery, surprise reflected in Darren's expression.

A prisoner like Elder Thomas should be held in some nasty and sordid jail instead of in such a luxurious and spectacular palace.

Although confused, he hurried toward the palace. After all, this was the only sword intent that Darren had detected so far.

The palace was bigger than he expected. After passing through several rooms, Darren finally located the area where the sword intent had originated.

However, just as he was about to push the door open, a lewd, prurient chuckle was heard from the room.

Before he could react, the bed began to squeak, and the sound of heavy breathing seeped into the hall where Darren stood.

'I have come at an awkward time!' Darren instinctively drew back the hand he had stretched forward to open the door.

After a little while, a man spoke. "My Lady, I am exhausted. Can I take a little break?"

'Madam?' Darren couldn't help but wonder about the identities of the people inside the room. It seemed to him that a disciple was having an illicit affair with an elder's wife. Darren knew that the man was a young disciple by his voice. Hesitation coursed through Darren as he wondered whether he should leave or stay and listen to their conversation to figure out their identities. Before Darren reached a decision, the young man finished making love to the woman. The wobbling sound of the bed had ceased, and silence filled the hall.

Darren felt that this man had nothing to do with Elder Thomas, and so, it was best not to waste his time.

However, before he could turn and leave, Darren heard the man ask the woman, "My Lady, between the Holy Lord and I, who gives you more pleasure?"

"You do, of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been captivated by you, my sweetheart!" The woman spoke at last.

The obscene remark astonished Darren.

He was surprised to discover that the woman was none other than the wife of the Blade Holy Land's Holy Lord. He had learned long ago that the Holy Lord's son was a vicious and heartless asshole. He didn't expect that his wife would also lack honor and integrity.

'If she is the Holy Lord's wife, she might know about Elder Thomas' whereabouts. I might as well use the secret of her disgraceful relationship to force information out of her.' A sly smile formed on Darren's lips. He knew that the woman and the disciple would not want the Holy Lord to learn about their affair. After all, such a high-ranked and powerful cultivator would never accept such humiliation. The Holy Lord would be infuriated and vent his anger on his wife.

After assessing the situation, Darren felt that this might be an excellent opportunity to learn where Elder Thomas was being held.
