Chapter 723 Tracking
Along with the festive ambiance that hung in the air, the hall was seated full of Chu n elders.
"Darren,e and sit with Elsa in the high seat!" Reed ushered with a cordial smile.
"No, I cannot ept your offer. Everyone seated here is either my senior or my elder brother. How can
I take the high seat when all these respectable people are present? They deserve that high seat rather
than me. Besides, ording to the rules, I think you should be the one to sit in that ce, Uncle Reed,"
Darren refused immediately. He insisted that Reed should take that seat of honor.
"Reed, stop making Darren ufortable. Let him sit wherever he likes," the guard of the Martial Skill
Library uttered grimly to Reed and motioned Darren to sit.

Receiving the request, Reed bowed and didn''t say anything. Thus, at length, everyone took their seats,
and the feast officially started.
"Where are the Chief Elder and the other two elders?" Darren asked, suddenly noticing their absence
in the hall.
"Those old bones haven''t been informed yet. They are living too far off in the mountain that the
messages need to take a longer time to reach them," the guard of the Martial Skill Library informed. As
he was about the same age as the three important elders, he just called them casually and did not
bring up their names in a formal manner.
"Okay, then we''d better leave them alone and keep them from any unnecessary trouble," Darren said
with a nod.
"How is everything going during my absence?" after a short pause, Darren inquired again.
"It''s quite peaceful. Our Chu n has now be the most powerful n in the entire Doriath. In the
mastery, I dare say that no one would have stood up against us." Moving his line of sight from left to
right as if looking for something, the guard of the Martial Skill Library lingered for a while and then
continued, "But Reed preferred to stay quiet and stay low. From his point of view, our disciples'' training
and healthy growth are far more important than dering the throne."
Darren was delighted with what the guard of the Martial Skill Library had said. He realized that after
that incident in the past, his uncle had be rational and sophisticated.
"My uncle is right in that respect. It matters little how much power one has when there is no healthy and
harmonious life," Darren consented and turned to Reed, his mouth curled in a content smile.
"Darren, I''m d that you agree with me," Reed smiled, feeling rejoiced by Darren''s recognition.
Soon after they had casually chatted for a while, the family banquet officially began. Time slipped away
swiftly as they enjoyed their talks and all the food and drinks that had been set for the feast.
The evening drew on, and the celebration nearly came to an end. People began to rise from their seats
and headed for their own quarters. After everyone had gone, Darren and Elsa got up and returned to
the courtyard that had once been so familiar to Darren.
"Darren, is this where you grew up?"
Elsa asked, looking around the neatly cleaned courtyard and the great phoenix tree that shadowed
over half of the yard.
"Yes. My sister and I grew up here," Darren rted softly and went to put his hand on the tree. A
feeling of sadness overwhelmed his mind. He wondered how the time went by swiftly and how those
hard yet happy times had be remote and unfamiliar to him by now.
"You must have been so close to each other. Where did your sister go then?" Elsa asked as she came
closer to him.
"Her soul has been seriously injured and she is now receiving treatment in the Ancient Void Battlefield.
I assume it will be two or three years before she finally wakes up," replied Darren, looking dejected and
concerned.
"Why? What happened to her?" Elsa eximed. Worry clouded her beautiful, delicate face as she
looked up at Darren with concern.
"It''s a long story. Let me exin to you briefly."
Under the phoenix tree, with the warm and soft wind gently blowing over their faces, Darren told Elsa
briefly of what had happened to his sister before. Brief as the story was, it still cost Darren quite a long
time to finish. By the time he finished speaking, the darkness had already enclosed the world, and
there was no other sound around but the sound of their warm breath.
The night was warm and cozy. Elsa nestled herself in Darren''s arms and enjoyed the very moment of
being with him alone.
"It is fortunate that my sister hade through a hard time and had the chance of being treated in the
Ancient Void Battlefield. Recovering is just a matter of time, so I won''t worry about her much. Think
about our current life, Elsa. I feel it''s so good to kick off every day without nothing to worry about,"
murmured Darren, fondling softly through Elsa''s silky hair with his fingers.
After havinge a long way and been through countless stiff days these years, Darren suddenly felt
He almost fancied that he was dreaming, that this kind of tranquility was all that he yearned for ages.
"If you are so much into this life, how about we stay in the Chu n forever and live a life filled with
peace and tranquility?" Elsa murmured to Darren. Her eyes grew more prominent in anticipating his
response.
"Okay. We can ask Elder Thomas toe and live with us, and then we will never leave again," Darren
suggested.
"Elder Thomas? You know what you did to mest night. I am surprised you still called him Elder
Thomas," Elsa grumbled, pursing her lips sulkily.
"What have I donest night? Could you tell me?" Noting what Elsa was implying about, Darren''s heart
burned hot with tenderness.
Seeing the confused expression on Darren''s face, Elsa turned red to her ears as she hid her face in
Darren''s chest. After a while, she drew away and looked at Darren with love and shyness in her eyes.
"Why are you so annoying? You know exactly how you bullied mest night. Or are you pretending to
have forgotten your evil behavior, so you expect I won''t punish you?" she countered.
With the sweet voice and Elsa''s cute reaction, Darren felt the warmth and fragrance of her breath.
Being against her rich and curvaceous body, he felt a stream of hot passion run through his limbs and
gave him energy. "You are born to be bullied by me. Only I have the right to bully you like that. If you
are questioning my authority, I can prove myself right now."
After saying that, before Elsa could even retort again, Darren had already bent over and pressed down
on her.
"You prurient, obscene man..." Elsa struggled to push Darren away until Darren covered her lips with
his, and her body had wholly been overtaken by the lust of passion in the heart.
Above them, the moon was as clean and beautiful as ever, and the mour of it illumined their bodies.
Rolling and swaying, they were like two happy fish in the clear and limpid water.
Time slipped by, and it was ten days after when there came the other cozy andfortable night.
"Elsa, can we go to our old ce?" Darren asked Elsa, and his thought still lingered on the joyous love
that they shared.
"No. You are always thinking about prurient things. You have no sense of shame!" Elsa objected with a
flushed face.
"All right then, let''s go to another ce if the old ce bores you. How about climbing up to the roof?"
With a sinister smile, while holding Elsa in his arms, Darren flew onto the roof.
"No! No! Others would hear our voices. How embarrassing it will be to make love here!" Elsa cried
shyly, feeling somewhat abashed.
"Don''t you bother about it at all. I have already separated all the other spiritual senses from us with the
help of my Spirit Power. No one could sense our presence here. You can scream as loud as you wish,"
Darren said cunningly and squinted at her with relish.
"You are such a bad guy. You are indeed slier than a fox." Elsa grinned and nestled in Darren''s arms.
Hiding her face under Darren''s chin, she continued, "Can we at least have a day''s break? You have
tortured me every day since we came here."
"Ha-ha, leave out the break! I haven''t been satisfied yet. So just do as you are told!" Darren held her
down. On the spur of the moment, he was overwhelmed by his passion that he went a bit out of control.
"What the hell?"
Just as he was about to kiss Elsa, a strange feeling came over his mind and diverted his attention.
"What''s wrong?" clumsily fixing her hair, Elsa asked Darren.
"I have had this strange and ominous feeling for some time. It is like something dark and evil is prying
us, and I felt that feeling again just now. Whatever it is, it is not far from us," Darren said with a serious
expression and yet did not look around to find where the sudden hunches originated.
"You mean that someone is spying on us?" Elsa eximed, her face filled with bashfulness. Thinking
that she might have been watched by others when having sex with Darren, her blood boiled with
embarrassment.
Uncertain about what he had felt, Darren was silent for a moment. Then he released his Spirit Power
and spiritual sense and scoured the entire Doriath.
"Elsa, let''s go on." Darren did not speak but sent a message to Elsa using his spiritual sense.
"What? What if someone is around and watching us?" Elsa asked in secret timidly, feeling somewhat
out of ce. Yet, on top of that, she couldn''t wrap her head on the thought that Darren wished to
continue making love with her despite being secretly watched by someone.
"Just pretend to be rxed and lure him out," Darren instructed. So at length, Elsa got to understand
what Darren meant.
They hugged and kissed as nned. But while doing that, they concentrated their thoughts on the
spiritual sense and scanned everything around.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Darren and Elsa leaped into the sky and flew off to a mountain several hundred kilometers
away in the blink of an eye.
Bang!
A man was thrown out of the deserted mountain when Darren sted the mountain out byunching a
potent blow.
"It''s you?"
Elsa stared at the wavering figure in the air and cried. Horror-stricken, Elsa was held dazed and
confused.
Her face went grim as she recognized the blue-skinned man.
"Long time no see, Elsa." After finding his footing back and steadying himself, the blue-skinned man
bowed to Elsa, showing his reverence towards Elsa through a kowtow.
"What are you doing here? If you want to take me back, it''s impossible," Elsa said coldly. Her eyes
fixed grimly at the man as if piercing through his soul.
"Don''t be angry with me. I havee to inform you on behalf of our elders. If you really intend to leave
the Space-time Pce, then we won''t be so selfish to snatch you out of your freedom.
But before you depart entirely from us, you need to give back all the knowledge that you learned when
you were in our pce. If I remember it correctly, you began with the cultivation base of Wonder
Realm, and now you have been trained to be a seven-star grand warrior. Our elders have exerted great
efforts in the way. So, now that you want to leave us, please return what you have gained!" the blue-
skinned man said sternly. A resolute expression was drawn on his face, signifying that he was
determined to have Elsa pay back what she owed.
"Go to hell!"
Darren shouted and released his de and sword intents. The words conveyed by the blue-skinned
man made his blood boil, and he was infuriated at the moment.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The blue-skinned man was at once scratched from his head down to his toe. Blood was dripping all
over him, soaking his garments. It could be seen on his face that he was greatly wounded.
"You! How dare you! Darren, don''t piss me off, or I will counter your attacks as well!" the man
thundered furiously.
"Elsa, why do these blue-skinned people seem to know me?" giving no heed to the man''s anger,
Darren turned to Elsa and asked.
"I don''t know for certain. Before I went to the Space-time Pce, they had already known a lot about
you, and I don''t know why," Elsa replied.
"Lester, Darren and I have decided to stay in the ordinarynd and stay out of trouble from now on. So
don''t push us! We won''t be a threat to you!" Elsa assured, trying to avoid the conflict and convince the
blue-skinned man at the same time.
However, to add up to her torment, the blue-skinned man did not flinch. "Elsa, who do you think we
are? You know we always do things by rules. You have ess to so many resources of our Space-time
Pce. Shouldn''t you be returning them if you are to discard us?" he roared, a raging fire in his eyes.
The blue-skinned man was exceedingly enraged by now that it seemed that any moment soon, he
wouldunch an attack towards either Darren or Elsa.
"I will return the resources you have used on Elsa. But if youe to harass us again, then I won''t
mind killing every single one of you!" Darren warned coldly. The frustration that he had was slowly
reaching its limit.
"Ha-ha, who do you think you are? Do you know what you are talking about? Since Elsa joined us, she
has upied four years of our time and space turbulent flows of a hundred times'' power. How can you
expect to pay us? Do you have anything worth the price?
But frankly speaking, even if you offer to provide a time and space turbulent flow of your own, we won''t
ept it. Elsa''s cultivation base must be returned, an eye for an eye, and the process is simple. I only
need to gouge out half of her heart and remove 80 percent of her meridians."
Laying the terms, the blue-skinned man grinned hideously. He knew by now that what he wanted to
happen was understood by Darren. Judging by the expression on Darren''s face, however, the blue-
skinned man knew that he had won the argument. Darren was obviously angered and seemed to be
overpowered by that anger.
"Oh, if that is the only way, then please just do it!" Darren voiced, in a tongue that sounded light but
piercing.
The blue-skinned man was stunned. A sudden shiver went through his veins as if he was put naked
outside in the chilly winter.
"I meant to send you to hell!"
Whoosh.
With one swift move, the de and sword intents roared off and detached the blue-skinned man''s head
within a second.
Prior to the blue-skinned man''s beheading, at the sight of the impending attack, Elsa didn''t try to stop
Darren because she had no special rtionship with the people from the Space-time Pce. She only
agreed to join them at that time because they had firmly persuaded her to do so.
During those hundreds of years in the time and space turbulent flow, she was left to herself in that dark
space. Her longing for Darren grew as time went by for hundreds of years, and during which, all she
had felt was loneliness and pain.
"Darren, I guess we can''t stay in the Chu n any longer, or we''ll get them into trouble. The Space-
time Pce wille for revenge very soon," looking up at Darren, Elsa said ruefully. She knew deep
inside her that the next days that she would spend together with Darren would never be the same
again. The Space-time Pce and the blue-skinned men were not the kind of people one would wish to
be enemies with.
"Yes, we have to leave right now. Besides, I just found out that this blue-skinned man was not the only
one who bothered me these days. I suspect that they are already on the way," Darren pointed out with
a frown.
The imminent danger gloomed his heart. A peaceful life had once again be a distant dream to
them. Gone were their dreams of one quiet and normal life—shattered, crumbled to pieces, and drifted
with the air.
