Chapter 365 Punishment (Part One)


    Over the past few years that they had suffered under in the deste ce, the Chu n members


    knew clearly that the Holy Land was such a ce ruled by such intoxicating powers. Reality could not


    be concealed how powerful a Holy Lord was, that ruled and influenced thend and its subjects.


    Yet, for Darren, it was as if the threat posed by the mighty Holy Lord was nothing but a joke. Especially


    when he dered that, even if a person as powerful as a Holy Lord appeared, that person should kneel


    to him. Darren''s sentence shocked all the members of the Chu n, and they could not believe their


    ears for the words were too good to be true. Albeit all these, they were Darren''s family, and all of them


    believed that Darren was not a boastful person; he was truthful, and standing firm by his words.


    "Darren, is it really possible that for just a few years, you have grown to a level that no one can defeat


    you? Are you that potent now, that you have no fear facing a powerful cultivator in the Wonder Realm?"


    asked a middle-aged member of the Chu n.


    "I have the same question. All of us know that you will never speak in big words before, but what you


    have said now is out of our imagination!" asked another member.


    One by one, the members of the Chu n started to put forward their questions. They didn''t doubt


    Darren, but they dared not believe his words. It was as if that doubts were troubling them, either they


    were amazed at what Darren had achieved as a martial artist, or they couldn''t believe what he was


    saying and assume that he was just lying all this time.


    "Please don''t ask me such kind of questions, for I don''t know how to answer them. For now, why don''t

    you take the spiritual herbs to heal yourselves first? If you would just be patient and wait until those


    who have been summoned came, maybe then you will find the answers to all your questions. That is


    when you see with your own eyes how I kill them with my skills. One more thing, please send someone


    to take Uncle Reed here and make sure that he''s safe." Finishing his instructions, Darren gave each


    member of the Chu n a piece of superior spiritual herb to replenish their strength and revive them to


    their maximum state.


    Though he wanted his kin to have their fullest level of strength, Darren limited the number of spiritual


    herbs that they could take. The reason why he did that was not he was not willing to, but he was


    worried that their meridians would be damaged if they tried to absorb too much spiritual energy.


    The members of the Chu n eyed the superior spiritual herbs with wonder, and each of them gave an


    excited look on their faces. The rare spiritual herbs they received were so precious, and never did they


    dream of actually seeing the herbs their whole lives.


    Gradually, the members of the Chu n started to absorb the spiritual energy and heal their injuries.


    Soon enough, their faces were beaming as at a leisurely pace they could feel their vim was freshened.


    "Darren, as far as I know, Reed was tortured so much that he has gone mad, and he was thrown in the


    streets to be a beggar. Have you met him already?" the Chief Elder asked Darren. He was


    worried that Darren might be surprised to learn what had happened to his uncle.


    "Yes, Chief Elder. Don''t worry, though. I have healed Uncle Reed using my Spirit Power. Please send


    someone to pick him and bring him here." At the back of his mind, Darren remembered how Reed Chu


    suffered when he saw him. He could not let his uncle Reed to be tortured like that and sustain a


    miserable faith of not having a stable mind and a troubled heart. Furthermore, Darren held on to his


    belief that his uncle would have a different perspective of things the moment he saw how he had


    changed the n''s situation.


    "Great! That''s great! We never expected you were so powerful that you could even cure his mental


    disorders. That''s really a miracle!" The Chief Elder was so grateful and excited for Darren at the same


    time. He cried tears of joy and he almost passed out.


    Their reverie was soon interrupted when a young man approached them. With him was Reed, who,


    wearing his same old and dusty garments, looked around the ce with utter disbelief. When he finally


    realized what had happened, Reedughed loud and cried with tears. He tried to kneel to Darren to


    thank him for the saving that he had done. Of course, Darren could not let him do that. He grabbed on


    Reed''s hands and supported him to stand up. With that, he offered him a superior spiritual herb to calm


    himself down. By now, almost all of the members of the Chu n had recovered from their injuries.


    While time drifted slowly, Darren took a moment to have his mind rxed. Taking a chair to sit in the


    yard, he waited quietly for the so-called big man from the royal family to show up. He had made himself


    ready to face him, and he could expect to take his blood to avenge his family. Somewhere in his


    thoughts, Darren wondered how that big man looked, how potent he was, and at what level of the


    Wonder Realm he would be. All these questions fluttered at Darren''s mind as he anticipated his


    warriors. All of them were giving off auras that could get ordinary people terrified and trembling on their


    knees. Theynded in the yard of the Chu n looking thunderous, and dust flew off under their feet


    as they made their descent.


    Standing tall amidst the valiant cultivators, the leader looked old and was wearing a gown bearing the


    ensign of the royal family. His aura exuded the most powerful, a deadly cast was forlorn on his face.


    With his anticipation ended at the group''sing, Darren''s gaze swept at them, and soon he


    recognized their cultivation bases. The older one was at the top level of the primary stage of the


    Wonder Realm. Three of them had just reached the primary stage of the Wonder Realm, and the other


    three were at the top level of the Mysterious Realm.


    "No wonder the royal family can overpower the whole kingdom. Now I see that a cultivator at the


    Wonder Realm is allowed to stay here and guard the ce."


    As a rule, a cultivator at the Wonder Realm was not allowed to stay in the ordinary world. In rare cases,


    if a kingdom''s safety was risked, and it needed to be guarded, then a cultivator at the ninth stage of the


    Mysterious Realm alone would not be strong enough to guard the ce. Thus, that would probably be


    the reason why the Holy Lands permit that a cultivator at the Wonder Realm could remain in the


    ordinarynd.


    "Now tell me the truth! Why did the royals make the Chu n as your ves?" Standing confidently


    from where he was seated, Darren voiced his question with a booming voice and a calmed look, giving


    off his aura secretly.


    Like an arrow from a bow, the face of the older man, the leader of the group, turned pale the moment


    he felt Darren''s aura. To Darren and the rest of the groups'' amazement, he bent his knee and got down


    afront Darren.


    Of course, it was easy for Darren to let the leader give in. Any of his force, the power of the de and


    sword, the ice and me intent, could make a cultivator at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm


    surrender. Not to mention the fact that the older man was only at the primary stage of the Wonder


    Realm.
