Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 882

As Darren and the man in black armor looked at each other, silence hung in the air, and as time wore on, the man in black armor felt a sense of dread wash over him. Perhaps he shouldn't have told Darren the truth about his companions. He worried that the day he was to be freed would be postponed or that all of the efforts would result in failure.

"You can't save them, not with your current strength," he said, trying to reel Darren back from making a bold decision.

"You don't understand. I owe it to them to try. If I run away now, they will surely die," Darren argued, staring grimly at the ground.

At hearing Darren's desperation and seeing his defeated posture while he thought of his friends' safety, the black-armored man sighed. "All right. Now I can see that I have made the right choice teaming up with you. You are brave and loyal to your friends. That must mean that you wouldn't lie to me either. Even though it will be difficult for me, I will do my best to help you save them. May we form a good plan that can get us out of this accursed place!" he said.

Feeling a renewed sense of hope, the black-armored man stopped speaking. All through his body he felt that the Misty Emperor was summoning him. So in haste, he took his leave and flew away.

Once again, Darren was left alone with his thoughts.

Feeling troubled, Darren stared at his feet with a frown on his face. It seemed to him that the nature of the black-armored man was not bad at all, but there was a lot riding on this plan and how it would unfold.

Despite feeling sorry for deceiving him, Darren couldn't bear the thought of irritating both the Misty Emperor and the black-armored man and leaving all of his companions in danger.

"It doesn't matter now. Worrying won't help anything. The important thing is to not make any rash decisions. I need to keep everyone from being in danger," Darren reminded himself.

Sighing, he continued to cultivate in silence.

After three months, Darren was jolted awake from his meditation. A strong feeling that the Misty Emperor was going to pay him a visit had entered his mind and pushed every other thought out of it. He summoned his strength to attack himself, making himself look as if he had been tormented all the time since the Misty Emperor left. The smallest amount of revealing could ruin everything, so he had to be smart.

After two days of waiting in anticipation, the Misty Emperor appeared before him.

A wicked smile was present on his face when he saw the results of Darren's torment. He felt extremely confident that he would be able to pry the information about the crystals from him.

"Boy, I doubt I have to even ask but I will. Where are the crystals?" he asked in a low, commanding voice. After he had finished speaking, a contemptuous smile filled his face. In a sadistic way, he was enjoying every second of this.

Darren looked up and his eyes were vacant, like a gaze of an idiot.

It looked like his mind had been plucked out of his skull.

"This can't be! Have you become a fool?" Panic flashed in his eyes. Darren was the only person who knew where the crystals were. If he had become a fool under his torment, where could he get his answers?
