A few minutes later, a few hundred divine soldiers returned to the forbidden place at the back hill of the Hidden Hero Sect and started a blanket search.
…
At the Altar of Mount Hua, Darryl heard people laughing and chatting outside the main hall door. He was stunned for a long time and could not gather his thoughts.
'F*ck! What a coincidence. I just came to Mount Hua and I've already met someone impersonating me.'
As Darryl muttered to himself, Audrey who stood next to him frowned and asked with disgust, "Hey! Why did you zone out? This is Mount Hua's Conference Hall. You're not allowed to walk around. Just wait here. I'll tell my Master about it, and you should only come in when we call for you, okay?"
She sounded impatient.
Immediately, Laurel also said to Darryl, "Don't walk around, okay?" Her tone was gentle and her attitude was the opposite of Audrey's.
Darryl did not mind Audrey's contempt and he chuckled. "Thank you, the both of you."
Audrey did not want to waste her breath and dragged Laurel out of the main hall.
Darryl kept his promise and did not follow them. However, he could not help but secretly poke his head and looked into the main hall. He saw that the main hall was lit with musk and green smoke lingered.
At the center of the main hall was seated Levi Schwaznero, the Sect Master of Mount Hua.
'It's he… who became the Sect Master of Mount Hua?'
Darryl was stunned to see Levi. 'A few years ago, when Lu Bu's ancient tomb came to earth, Old White Brows was still the Sect Master of Mount Hua. I never thought the Sect Master would be someone else a few years later.'
However, Levi was not a stranger to Darryl. They met once at the ancient tomb of Lu Bu. He was Old White Brows' Junior Brother and also the law enforcement elder of Mount Hua.
Little did Darryl know that when he was away from the Nine Mainland, many impersonated him, and the man before him was one of them.
That man was named Salvatore Lehn. Three years before, he was a disciple of the Elysium Gate but he had ill intentions and often deceived and oppress others. After that, Ambrose found out about him and punished him, kicking him out of the Elysium Gate.
After being kicked out of the Elysium Gate, Salvatore was vengeful and wanted to take revenge upon Ambrose and the Elysium Gate. However, the Elysium Gate was utterly powerful and Salvatore never had the chance to do that. Until recently, the Sea Dragon Palace had often fought the Elysium Gate and eventually destroyed the Altar of the Elysium Gate, causing the sect's spirit to fall. Additionally, there were many impersonators of Darryl in the community. That caused Salvatore to know that his chance had come.
Salvatore was once responsible for guarding the secret chamber of the Sect Master and so he knew many of the internal secrets of the Elysium Gate. He even knew the mask that Darryl wore very well. Therefore, he found a craftsman and made an imitation of it.
After making an imitation of the gold mask, Salvatore snuck into Elysium Gate's branch and stole many elixirs and secret manuals. After half a year of intensive training, his powers significantly increased and he then spent more than a month impersonating Darryl's voice.
After that, Salvatore went around the community swindling and deceiving others. He started with the small-scaled sects. However, he realized he could not get many benefits out of those small-scale sects, he decided to go to a major sect and targeted Mount Hua.
The reason why he chose Mount Hua was that it was located in a remote area and even if he were to be exposed, the news would not spread to the community in a short amount of time.
