Chapter 505 Arriving At The Western Desert Ind (Part One)
While the three elders isted themselves to focus on preparing the Sky Piercing Array, Darren, on the
same instant, settled in a rtively quiet ce and opened the Ancient Void Battlefield.
Ever since Belle was brought into the Ancient Void Battlefield, Darren had been checking on her with
his spiritual sense every day. Days and weeks had passed, and Darren was saddened to see that her
condition had not progressed at all. She had been unconscious the whole time.
As she had sustained heavy and constant bleedings after being hit by some spells, Belle couldn''t wake
up any time soon. Darren understood that her body needed some time to recover.
Today, as Darren had enough time while waiting for the elders to be done with refining the Sky Piercing
Array, he thought a visit into the Ancient Void Battlefield would be a good idea. After all, seeing his
sister physically before facing the border mutants would add up to his courage and motivation to win
the dreaded battle. A few momentster, Darren appeared in a quiet valley where a thatched cottage
stood humbly by itsher side surrounded by luscious vegetation and a gently running stream.
As quiet as he could, Darren opened the door to the cottage where Belle was staying. Belle, his sister,
was lying on the bed, face still pale and motionless. The only sign that she was still alive was her chest
that moved up and down as she breathed.
"You suffered a lot, my little sister. I hope you survive this one and get well soon,"
the hopeful brother mumbled in a gentle voice. While he was stroking his sister''s face, Darren''s heart
couldn''t be spared from hurting, seeing his little sister so weak and helpless.
Ever since they were kids, Darren and his little sister had been bullied. Though he was too innocent to
understand why they were always browbeaten, Darren made a vow that it would never again happen to
his sister. He had thought that he could protect his little sister when he gained the experience of his
adventure. But he was wrong all this time, he failed and was not able to fulfill his vow. He still couldn''t
protect her well enough and allowed her to suffer again and again.
Thinking back of the days when they were both kids andparing them to their present situation,
Darren''s eyes reddened. Looking down at his sister''s situation right now, he felt so useless and
powerless. Nothing had changed for his little sister. He couldn''t protect her when she was little, and
now that they had grown up, he still couldn''t do.

''Diana must be worried about Belle too. Should I tell her that Belle is already back?'' Darren thought as
he tried very hard to conceal the feelings of disappointment that he had inside.
As his thoughts deviated towards Diana, he hade to think about how Holy Lord Diana had always
been helpful towards Belle. She treated her as if Belle was her daughter. Thus, Darren was sure that
she must be worried about Belle too. That was the reason why he was considering telling her the news.
''I should just wait till Belle gets better.'' After considering for a while, Darren thought that he''d better tell
Diana the news when Belle was better. In that way, Diana wouldn''t be bothered too much.
Spending almost an hour checking on Belle, Darren made sure that everything was okay with her. After
this, he directly got out of the Ancient Void Battlefield unseen and unannounced, just like his arrival.
The moment he was back at the Violet Phoenix Sect, he cultivated and tried to improve his base. In a
short while, Horace and the two other elders, as well as Jacob, were out and back on the hall.
As he felt obliged to join them, Darren walked into the pce. His heart rejoiced when he saw that the
grandmasters who had been into the Heavenly Serene Graveyard were also there, all fit and ready to
help him.
"Nice to see you all again," with a satisfied smile drawn on his face, Darren greeted them while doing
the traditional way of showing reverence, that was cupping his hands and bowing slightly to them.
"We are d toe knowing that it''s you, Darren! Haha," one of the grand warriors reckoned.
"Last time, as soon as we recovered from the battle with those demonic monsters, Master Jacob
immediately sent us a message and told us that you came back safe and sound. We were so happy
about it.
Yet, we have heard the news that you probably have gone to the Red Inferno Sect, and it worried us
deeply. We sent out people to find you, but they couldn''t find the ce where the Red Inferno Sect
was, so we had to give up on that ordeal. Now that you are here, it feels so good to see you safe and
sound again," reiterated another grand warrior who had the sincerest voice Darren had ever heard.
Other three-star grand warriors also expressed their joy at seeing Darren again. The smile on their
faces never faded, and that alone added an exuberant vibe across the hall of the Violet Phoenix Sect''s
pce.
"Thank you for worrying about my welfare." To express how grateful he was, Darren bowed to the
grandmasters again.
"All right, all right, now that we have this problem at hand. I guess it''s our time to pay you back. All four
of you risked your lives and saved usst time. So, this time, we will definitely try our best to save those
two young guys, even if it means to risk our lives too."
Though it was Darren and Hailey who did much of the rescuing and leading them to safety, the
grandmasters still thanked them all. They remembered well how Abrd and Timothy were also there
to help them out.
"With the help of my senior fellow apprentices, the rule power crystal core that I refined is even more
powerful. Its strength is equal to the strength of a four-star grand warrior," the older red-robed man,
Nick, interrupted at this time, taking out a crystal core shining with runes. Only with this potent crystal
core could they maintain the Sky Piercing Array.
The grand warriors all heard what he said and turned to look his way and towards the crystal. But their
gazes fell on to Horace and Rocky, whom they hadn''t met before.
"May I ask who the two men are?" one of them asked politely.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce them to you. They are both powerful rule cultivators, and they are like Nick''s
brothers,"
with a gentle voice, Jacob said simply. His tone was casual, for he knew that many of the grand
warriors were enemies with the Red Inferno Sect, and they hated the members of this sect. Jacob also
made the right decision in not telling the grand warriors Horace and Rocky''s real identities.
"Oh, I see. I bet with the help of you two, we are more confident that we will seed in killing those
mutant bastards this time, haha!" Judging from the way Master Jacob introduced them as Nick''s
brothers, the grand warriors didn''t overthink about the identities of the two new men. They continued
<pughing and chatting as if nothing was unusual.
