Chapter 321 Both Principal And Interest (Part One)


    For ten days now, Darren was assimting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and poured it into


    Colin''s body. His condition had been better, and Colin''s vital energy passage and injuries were almost


    healed and restored, but the cultivation base that he had lost was beyond redemption.


    "Oh, no... What happened?" Colin opened his dull eyes and asked with a confused and bothered


    expression on his face.


    "Colin, tell me! Is it because of me that the Holy Land suffered such a tragic misfortune?" asked Darren


    the moment he saw that Colin regained consciousness. He was anxious to ask Colin, now that he was


    about to know the truth, his heart was bleeding. He knew the answer to that question perfectly to his


    heart, but he wanted to hear the words from Colin himself. He wanted to be pped with the truth on


    his face that it was because of him. It all started with him killing the bloody son of the Holy Lord of the


    de Holy Land.


    "Indeed. Bryan was attacking our Holy Land under the pretext of revenge for his son. It was only at that


    time that you had already left. Bryan might have been nning it for a long time, but that was not the


    worst yet. All of us did not expect that he had such a strong backer," sighed Colin again. Inferring from


    the sound of his voice, Darren knew that Colin was in pain. Yet, the way he confronted Darren with the


    truth appeared as the tragedy happened a long time ago.


    "Oh, it''s all my fault. I should carry the me upon my shoulders. But what about the disciples in the


    Lotus Holy Land? What did they do when the tragedy happened? How about the Holy Lord and Elsa,


    and my dear friend Bruce?" Darren ranted Colin with rains of questions. He was growing impatient and


    wanted all his doubts to be answered for the time being.


    "At that time, Bryan took away Holy Lord Diana and named Elsa as his next victim of merciless


    ughter. Luckily, Elsa was rescued by a rule cultivator whom I have never met. But I think she is safe


    wherever she is right now," ascertained Colin.


    "What about the other disciples? Are they all dead? Why wasn''t there anyone who helped when the


    enemies drenched the Holy Land in that bloodbath?" Darren inquired further, he was less worried when


    he learned that Elsa was at least safe for now.


    "No, they are not dead. Those bandits did not dare massacre the innocent disciples in the Holy Land.


    They just dispersed them and let them scatter in fear across thend. But all the elders who resisted


    them perished. Holy Lord Diana was severely destroyed and devastated. I even wondered how I


    survived. As for Bruce, I don''t know what happened to him or his whereabouts," Colin continued in


    between breaths.


    "Initially, there were two masters who came to talk to them about invading the Holy Land. The masters


    did their best to stop the massacre and the bloodshed, but it didn''t work. I guess it is because Bryan


    has a grand warrior at his side. A two-star grand warrior!


    Aside from that, the two-star grand warrior also has a mysterious yet stalwart warrior behind his back.


    Even the two masters would not risk their lives to provoke that mysterious warrior. The two masters had


    no choice but to leave. They thought that when the Lotus Holy Land was whitewashed, the Lotus n


    would appoint a new Holy Lord to rece Holy Lord Diana anyway. So they did not care about whether


    our Holy Lord was dead or still alive."


    After hearing the full ount of the invasion, Darren had it all figured out. The copse of the Lotus


    Holy Land was like what happened with the Ancient Dragon Holy Land. It was reced by the Dragon


    Sect. The same defeat and reappointment of the Lord of Ancient Dragon Holy Land had ever happened


    in history.


    "What about the Holy Lord''s n? Did they not protest and leave her alone?" That was where Darren


    was most confused about. Of course, he knew every Holy Lord must have a powerful force to back him


    or her up. But where was the Lotus n when the invaders threatened to overthrow their chosen Holy


    Lord?


    "Well, as for that question, I am afraid I can''t provide a valid and eptable exnation either. Things


    happened, and they arrived so fast that in just a matter of minutes, we just found ourselves wounded


    and defeated. There is no use asking why I resigned to my fate. But I pity Holy Lord Diana. She is such


    a heroine. She doesn''t deserve this unfortunate end. I can''t imagine what Bryan would have done to


    her." When these words escaped from Colin''s mouth, he burst into floods of tears.


    "It was all because of me. It''s unfair for the other elders who were dead by now. It''s unfair for the Holy


    Lord, and I let her down. She suffered all that miserable fate because of me," Darren confessed to


    Colin, with one knee on the ground.


    "Stand up. Don''t me yourself. It''s not your fault." Colin helped Darren by the arm and lifted his spirits


    up.


    "I swear, I will rescue the Holy Lord, kill Bryan, and whoever is behind him. I will let them pay for what


    they have done. An eye for an eye, lives they have taken, lives will I take away from them. I will show


    them no mercy!" Angered and frustrated at the same time, Darren snarled in resentment.


    Hearing the determined conviction from Darren, Colin forced a smile and shook his head


    discouragingly.


    "What''s with that hopelessness? You do not have faith in me?" questioned Darren as he saw the


    downcast look on Colin''s face.


    Darren was confident and made such a promise because several grand warriors also supported him.


    Even if they were not two-star grand warriors, they possessed formidable powers. Putting it on the


    other side, even if the grand warriors would note to Darren''s aid, he still had the Water Kylin as his


    trump card


    In the outside world, once Darren released the Water Kylin, though, the beast had few rivals among the


    four regions of the continent when it came to strength and ability. It was even fair to say that he was


    invincible!


    However, it was also fair for Colin to doubt him. As an aftermath of what had happened, nobody would

    believe Darren. They did not think that he could avenge them; after all, the enemies were so powerful


    that they even destroyed the Holy Land and had the Holy Lord captured.


    Thus, Darren had to prove himself by taking actual actions, not just blubbering his words.
