Nobilis of War

Chapter 273 The Situation Was Not As Simple As It Looked

Several grand warriors were troubled when they heard Baron. Were over seventy superior talents at

risk?

"What happened?" several grand warriors asked in unison.

"Do you remember the man who focused on the Blood Refining skill and killed a lot of grand warriors

hundreds of years ago?" Baron asked with a frown.

"Grand Blood Refiner! Didn't a senior suppress him?" The other grand warriors understood the danger

at once. That man had left far too deep an impression on them.

Baron shook his head. "I have detected traces of the Blood Refining Sect before. I thought it might

have been some underlings creating a disturbance on a small scale. I never suspected that the Grand

Blood Refiner had been liberated. I was careless for not reporting this earlier," Baron explained.

"The Grand Blood Refiner would have been uncontrollable had he not been suppressed by the senior.

It's good that his domain cracked when he ran away, as that means that his level decreased a lot.

Those superior talents could kill him if they work together."

"It's not that simple. Don't forget there are countless treasures and Primitive Stones in the Raksa Sea.

The Grand Blood Refiner's strength could be restored to its original level if he gets those treasures."

Several grand warriors grew worried upon hearing these words.

"If you are right, how did he enter the Raksa Sea? He is an old monster. He would have been torn

apart by the altar because of his age," a grand warrior said with doubts.

"He is good at hiding himself. His avatar blood refining skill helps him to control others. He must have

possessed some talent via his premium skill and wormed his way into the Raksa Sea. It is possible that

he is hiding among the superior talents," Baron replied.

"You are probably right. Losing some Primitive Stones is a small matter of no great significance.

However, our sin will be greater if he refines any of our superior talents. We have to find a way to

inform them of the existence of the Grand Blood Refiner," another grand warrior suggested.

"Such being the case, we need to risk opening the altar again. Brian, use your voice transmitting

arcane skill to advise the superior talents about the situation. Do also tell them that it is imperative that

they work together to kill the evil cultivator! Perhaps if they're lucky enough, they will avert the

catastrophe."

Brian nodded solemnly. The others had selected him for this assignment as he was the best at using

the arcane skill to transmit his voice.

Immediately after, several grand warriors, who seemed to be a little weak and exhausted, triggered the

altar again. Fortunately, this time, they only needed to create a crack to let Brian transmit his voice.

...

On a desolate island in the Raksa Sea, everyone was exploring the area where they had descended.

None of them dared to act rashly before acquainting themselves with their surroundings.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the sky as a black crack formed. In the next moment, a

thundering voice was heard within the crack.

Everyone looked up at the sky, wondering what was happening.

"Superior talents, you have to be careful. Some evil cultivator, who focuses on blood refining, has

infiltrated your group. You have to find him and kill him before he gets stronger. You must do this

together, or else you will suffer serious consequences. Please find him quickly."

The crack closed, and the voice faded away.

Every superior talent on the island became nervous when they heard the voice. They looked at each

other, trying to find someone they were not familiar with.

"It's him!" A talent in Darren's group saw a strange young man standing nearby. No one from the group

had paid any attention to him earlier because they thought he came from another group.

"No, it's not me!"

"Kill him!"

A powerful youth, who ranked twentieth on the Talent Roll in Darren's group, rushed toward that man

and delivered a palm attack on his chest that shattered his breast.

Even though their strength was greatly suppressed in the Raksa Sea, the youth still had a cultivation

base at the Spirit Realm.

Eyes wide open, the strange youth died before he could say anything.

Blood oozed out of the corpse of that strange young man as his body began to decay. The pungent

stench of decaying blood and flesh overwhelmed the other talents.

"Look, it's him! Hum, it's a good thing that we know everyone else in the group, or else the Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

consequence would be unthinkable," the youth who killed the strange young man said proudly.

Seeing the scene, Darren felt as though something was wrong. 'How could that evil person be killed so

easily? If he were skilled enough to possess someone in the group, he would have been powerful

enough to avert death.' Darren surmised. Darren's head pounded as he thought about the situation.

Since he had no logical explanations, he chose to be silent.

Strangers were spotted in two other groups of superior talents. Each group also reacted by killing a

warrior they were unfamiliar with. Soon, the awful stench of decomposing bodies filled the island.

Everyone relaxed after killing the three strange youths. They thought the problem had been solved

easily.

In the following ten days, nothing abnormal happened. Everyone gradually forgot about this matter and

turned their attention to searching for Primitive Stones and treasures.

"Our strength has been suppressed in the Raksa Sea. It's very difficult to move around. What should

we do?"

"Don't panic, everyone. I have a map and a description given by Mr. Chad Lou. Let's have a look." The

man with the highest level of cultivation base stepped forward as he spoke.

"Robb, why don't you show us the map earlier? We could have collected more treasures and Primitive

Stones than the other groups if we had taken quicker action." said the superior talent who had killed the

strange youth. Dissatisfaction laced his voice.

"I didn't want any of us to hunt for treasures until we got familiar with the surroundings. Are you

implying that I hid the map intentionally to hinder our progress?" Robb Yin questioned. Annoyance

reflected in his expression as he glared at the superior talent.

"Hum, I didn't say that. You said it yourself," the superior talent sneered. Everyone knew that the

person challenging Robb Yin was called Lenny Yu.

"You behaved well earlier. Now you are going to show your true colors, aren't you? I don't mind

teaching you a lesson if you continue babbling, you scoundrel! It makes no difference to me whether

you are here or not!" Robb Yin was infuriated by Lenny Yu's remarks.

"How dare you?" Lenny Yu bellowed, ready to fight with Robb Yin.

"Keep quiet, Okay? Please stop your argument over such trivial matters. We were warned against such

behavior by Mr. Lou. Remember what he said. We must stay united." Tom interjected when he saw that

a fight was going to break out between the two men.

"Forget it. I have better things to do than argue with you," Robb said as he yielded. Then, he called

everyone together to check the map.

After a long discussion, they decided to explore an underground cave somewhere beneath this island

as it connected with another large island. The group thought that this would be the very place to hide

some treasures. Since this area was largely unexplored, it would be a good place to find undiscovered

Primitive Stones. Thus, they planned to go to the large island first.

Once the discussion was complete, they glanced around and found that two other groups of superior

talents had left the island.

"Move faster. Time waits for no one," Robb hailed as he instructed everybody to look for the

underground cavern.

Darren didn't take part in the discussion. Although he followed the superior talents, he seemed to be

ruminating about something.

"What's wrong with you, Darren? Why are you silent?" Tom and Darren walked at the end of the group.

He asked when he noticed Darren's pensive expression.

Darren raised his head. Just as he was about to respond to Tom's question, he saw Lenny cast an

inconspicuous and sinister glance at Robb.

"Tom, do you think there is something abnormal about Lenny? I feel as though something is wrong with

him," Darren finally voiced his doubts. From the beginning to the end, Darren thought that the matter

Brian informed them about was not as simple as it appeared.

"Hey, you are overthinking. Lenny has competed with Robb before, but he failed. It's normal for him to

feel some resentment toward Robb. Let's move on," Tom said, smiling.

"Maybe." Darren walked forward to help the team. Reassured by Tom, he stopped thinking about the

situation.

However, something happened when they found the entrance of the underground cavern.

Sharp shrieks were heard from the sky. Several black figures spotted the group of talents and flew

straight for them.

"Shit, so many fierce raptors!" The crowd was immediately alarmed.
