Everyone from the School of Sword Skill were all stunned for a while. No one had any idea who did it.
''Rick, Elsa is no longer the person she used to be. Her aura was so immensely intimidating that I almost could not stand being surrounded by it just now!'' said the strong man who had been slapped by Elsa a while ago.
''Really? That almost seems impossible. Did Elsa come across anything unusual in her adventures? Is that why she returned with such talent and strength?'' Rick said, his eyes widening in shock. If what the man was saying were true, then it would be totally unbelievable!
''Exactly. I was pretty rude earlier, thank god Elsa didn't argue with me, otherwise I wouldn't be standing here. I'd be dead for sure. Now that I think of it, it must have been Elsa who dealt with the several disciples from the School of Arrow Skill.'' Even several moments had passed after his encounter with Elsa, the strong man still felt a lingering fear that he could not shake off.
At first, Rick had thought Darren was responsible for it, but the strong man's analysis made more sense to him. At once, the fragments he knew about the events that had transpired started piecing together.
''Elder Thomas would surely be happy about it. He might even take revenge for us! Come on, follow me. There is no way we should let Elsa encounter Jerome. That would surely cause a lot of trouble.''
As they moved forward, all of them were ecstatic and in high spirits.
No matter where they went, there was still no sign of Elsa. The only thing they saw was several wounded disciples of the School of Arrow Skill lying on the road.
From the several bodies lying on the ground, one caught their attention - a well-known cultivator at the seventh stage of the Spirit Realm. What immense power Elsa must have possessed if she was able to defeat someone with such advanced skills!
They could not stop wondering exactly what level Elsa had reached. But first, they had to find her before anything else.
Meanwhile, Darren and Elsa wandered along the track as if nothing had happened. As they were happily talking and laughing, someone approached them.
''Darren? Wow, it really is you!''
said the beautiful young girl who had suddenly walked up to Darren's side and interrupted their conversation.
''Fiona? Long time no see, how have you been? It's nice to see you!'' Darren was delighted to see Fiona. It had been a while since they had last seen each other, and it was nice to see an old friend.
''So this is the guy you were always talking about, huh, Fiona? Darren? The way you talked about him made it like he was out of this world. I have to say, I'm quite disappointed. He's not as nice as you made him out to be. He's pretty ordinary, to be honest. Besides, my silly girl, can't you see how close he is with that girl?'' The ordinary-looking girl standing next to Fiona commented.
