The so-called ancestor was a middle-aged man in a cyan robe. He approached Darren. As soon as he stood nearby, his sword intent made the sword core in Darren's elixir field produce a low buzzing sound.
'The sword intent the man released is probably less than fifty percent of its power. At its maximum power, the extreme sword intent must be really terrible, ' Darren thought.
He could feel the sword intent more clearly now that he was closer to the man in the cyan robe.
Darren then compared the man to Mathew. They had their own merits, but the sword intent of the man was not as intimidating as Mathew's killing sword intent. Overall, the man's combat effectiveness was probably higher than Darren's but slightly weaker than Mathew's.
"I was at a critical juncture of my cultivation when the trouble started. I couldn't help but want to stop my cultivation to save my inferiors. Fortunately, young man, you saved them and the three tribes. Thank you," the middle-aged man said.
"You are welcome. Please, consider it a small favor. By the way, sir, have you reached the Holy Realm?" Darren asked.
"Ha-ha-ha." The middle-aged man gave a bitter laugh before explaining, "I haven't completely mastered the Holy Will. Thus, I didn't make a complete breakthrough to that realm."
"Really?" Darren's eyes lit up. "Sir, do you have insight about the Holy Will?"
"That's right. After over 3000 years of hard work, I finally gained some insights about it. But, if I want to comprehend it thoroughly, I can't reach my goal by mere closed-door cultivation," replied the middle-aged man.
"Then, sir, may I ask you some related questions?"
Hanson had been instructing Darren when he was in the Starry Tower. However, as Hanson had been poisoned for an extended period, his understanding of the little bit of Holy Will had dissipated. So, he couldn't teach Darren.
Mathew had sensed some will about killing sword intent as he chose the Killing Cultivation. But it was not suitable for Darren.
Although the middle-aged man seemed to walk on a unique road and pursue sharp and fierce skills, his cultivation method was a little similar to Darren's sword intent. That was why Darren wanted to learn from him.
"I would like to chat with you, as well, my little friend. Let's speak after I settle some business here," the man said to Darren.
Then, he turned to the crowd and instructed, "You may leave for the moment. I guess you need time to clean up the damage and bury the dead. When the right opportunity comes, I will help you get revenge."
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone present responded respectfully by kneeling.
With their ancestor's and Darren's help, they were not afraid of anyone who wanted to make trouble.
After the crowd retreated, Darren and the middle-aged man walked side-by-side.
"My name is Darren Chu. Sir, may I know your name?" Darren asked.
"I took the liberty to detect your bone age. Shockingly, you are in your twenties. You are a genius," the middle-aged man said in surprise instead of answering Darren's question.
"Well, yes," Darren said honestly.
"Ha-ha-ha, you are a courageous young man. I feel ashamed. My name is Isaac Hu. I'm a man of a certain age, a few thousand years older than you. If you don't mind, you can just call me Isaac."
Darren didn't refuse. It seemed that Isaac Hu was eager to be friends with him.
"Isaac, may I know how did you grasp the extreme level of the sword intent? Your sword intent is much stronger than mine," Darren asked.
"Hasn't your master told you this?" Isaac Hu was confused. 'Although Darren is so young, he is quite outstanding in martial arts. He must be fortunate enough to cultivate with a gifted master. But why doesn't he know such a thing?' he wondered.
"Ha-ha, to be honest, most of the time, I cultivated independently. I did cultivate with a master over the past few days. He did give me a lot of advice, but I focused on improving my strength. I didn't think to ask him these questions," Darren replied humbly.
