Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 468

The Protection Domain was continually shaking, signifying that the barrier was breached and was about to knuckle under. The young master of the Red Inferno Sect was green and sweaty in the face sensing the threat of what was happening. He could feel from the trembling and clashing sound that those people outside wanted so badly to get in.

"Young master, in case they get in here, I will burst my soul to stall them so you can run away and escape!" Darren proposed an escape plan, looking at the worried young master. Yet, deep inside him, he knew that he was not true to his words. He just said those words to show his "loyalty" and to gauge if the young master trusted him or not.

"Those ungrateful bastards! I knew those old bastards wanted to have my treasures!" the young master of the Red Inferno Sect cursed. It seemed that he had utterly believed in what Darren had said.

Hearing his words, Darren couldn't help but feel elated, but he just couldn't let this emotion show on his face. He was more confident of his plan now that the young master entirely relied his trust on him.

"Young master, they are really vicious for doing this. How dare they trespass and interrupt you on your cultivation. If they hadn't been informed that the master are in closed-door cultivation, they wouldn't have dared to do such things to you! They planned to launch the attack before the master can come out of his cultivation. Not only that, but they also planned to kill you and blame your death on Elder Judah. Elder Judah was so angry and tried to stop them from succeeding in their plans. Unfortunately, he was already killed by them," with a forlorn look on his face, Darren added. The longer he stayed with the young master, the more fabricated his stories got. By this time, telling lies came naturally to him, as if he was born with that talent.

"What? Is that true? Elder Judah is dead?" the young master asked in surprise.

"Yes, he's dead, young master. They tortured Elder Judah and me at first, but he was just so loyal to you and wouldn't pretend to surrender. Because of that, he was pierced in the heart and died that moment after. It was Mortimer, his so-called good friend, who killed Elder Judah." With an over-expressive tone, Darren pretended to be sad about Elder Judah's death.

"Damn it! Fuck! How dare he do that to Elder Judah?" At the thought of such ruthless action by Mortimer, the young master of the Red Inferno Sect was just so furious that his rule power began to rile. Anger and thirst for killing were burning in his eyes.

"Young master, what should we do now? I am afraid that those old bastards will burn their souls to open the Protection Domain. I am severely wounded, and I am not sure if I can resist them even if I burst my soul,"

Darren said in a slow and dramatic tone while observing the young master the whole time. He wanted to know what was on the young master's mind and what would he do about the situation.

Silently thinking for a short while, the expression on the young master's face darkened even more. Thoughts and plans were battling in his head; the young master was in a dilemma and was thinking very hard to figure out the circumstances.

"Kaleb, you are this loyal to me, and I will always remember that. After I kill those bastards, I will consider you as my brother. But for now, I need your help," the young master calmed down and said to Darren in a gentle, friendly, and pleading tone. He was rarely this gentle towards his subordinates—especially now that he was asking a favor. He had to swallow his pride like a bitter gourd.

"I'll risk my life to protect you, young master!" Darren promised in a firm tone as if he was really committed, pretending that the young master's words deeply touched him.
