Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 504

Hearing Nick's dilemma, Darren's eyes brightened in excitement. 'Horace and Rocky have a similar cultivation base of rule cultivation with Nick. They might be able to help, ' he thought.

"Horace, have you arrived?" Determined to have them sooner at the Violet Phoenix Sect, Darren sent a message through his spiritual sense.

"In a minute," replied Horace shortly.

"Nice. When you reach the palace, please don't tell them who you are. Maybe just tell them you are my friends or some elders," the worried warrior suggested.

As a precautionary measure, Darren planned to conceal Horace's and Rocky's true identities. The reason was that he wanted to avoid any unnecessary conflicts that might arise if others knew that they had been grand-elders from the Red Inferno Sect.

"I see. I understand, sir," replied Horace, who was on their way toward the Violet Phoenix Sect.

After a little while, Horace and Rocky arrived at the hall. Their auras were felt the moment they landed on the ground. Darren, Jacob, and Nick, all at once turned their heads towards them.

However, to Darren's surprise, the atmosphere had become intense the moment they draw near. It was as if the sun suddenly hid among the clouds, and the ether started to dim.

"It is you!" Nick's tone was filled with anger. The instant he set his eyes upon Horace, he recognized him at once.

"Humph, Nick, it's been a long time," Horace greeted the pale-faced Nick. Contemplating Nick's reaction, Horace and Rocky looked at each other, giving a bitter smile.

"Don't call me by my name. I am surprised that you guys are still alive! Traitors and betrayers of trust! humph!" Glaring at them, and eyeing them from head to foot at the same time, Nick snorted coldly.

"Yes, Nick, we are still alive, and we are thankful for that. But, Louis, on the other hand, is not lucky enough that he died," with mournful scorn on his face, Horace answered.

As he was witnessing the exchange of arguments between the elders, Darren was stunned for a while. Not in a single moment, in the broadest sense of his imagination, did he think that Horace and Nick were fellow apprentice from the same sect.

"Louis... Did he die? That old man? Bless his soul." Grief flashed in Nick's eyes as he wished for the perpetual repose of Louis' soul.

"Yes! He was fighting with us when he met his doom. He died an honorable death after all," Rocky nodded his head while adding to Horace's statements.
