Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 672

"Haha, you are really shameless. Don't flatter yourself. I came out because a lad has already condensed the Holy Will and is about to reach the Holy Realm. I was going to check if he had the right to inherit any inheritance, but seeing you wandering around here, I chatted with you.

But don't be self-abased because of my words. Your potential is in the top list above everyone else who has broken into my palace," retorted the old man.

The message between the lines employed by the man's words was never a good idea to Darren. He guessed that the man who was about to reach the Holy Realm was one of the five sect leaders.

Similarly, Hobson's face turned deathly pale. He prayed in his mind that the leader of the Dragon Chasing Sect was not the one who reached the Holy Realm. Otherwise, he and Darren would be in danger of the crime of killing the elders.

"Sir, it is destined for us to meet. You must protect us. Some of the men who came in the palace regard my junior fellow apprentice and me as ants and want to kill us." Hobson tried to seek shelter from the old man. With the words that he had said, he was hoping he would gain the old man's mercy and convince him towards their side.

"I'm sorry, but I can't. Killing is not being prohibited in this bronze palace. That is a rule set by the first leader of the Mythological Palace. I don't have the right to regulate anyone at any circumstances," the old man said calmly with his head raised in over pouring arrogance.

"How could that be? You are also the head of the bronze palace now. You can make orders and change the rule, right?" implored Hobson. The tone of his voice betrayed the fear he felt inside which was mixed with the hopelessness and desperation.

"Well. I am afraid I can't do that. The reason is that the first owner was too powerful; thus, he set a lot of rules. The later owners of the palace cannot violate the rules in reverence of the first owner. Look, the first leader is this gentleman," the old man said while pointing to the red-haired creature on the portrait.

"Is he the first leader? What level has the first leader of the bronze palace reached?" Darren then asked, squinting his eyes to have a more unobstructed view of the creature in the painting.

"I don't know about what level he had reached, but as the leader of the bronze palace, I know something about him. The first leader was born in the early stage of ancient times. He was born with infinite fighting power. What amazed me most was when he became the holy emperor, a high-level holy emperor of the Remote Age, who had cultivated four conflicting skills at the same time, tried to kill him without any reason at all.

In that battle, the vault of the heavens was beaten into pieces, and the earth sank a lot. At last, our first leader killed his enemy using his divine weapon. Since then, his reputation had spread wildly for millions of years, and it wouldn't dissipate even after tens of millions of years later. According to some records, he is the number one emperor of ancient times. Invincible indeed," responded the old man, elucidating to them what he had known about the first leader.
