Nobilis of War

Toby handed the file to Darren. As the latter opened it and read the contents, his features broke into a serious expression.

"What is the thunder internal force?" Darren asked.

The file mentioned that an aggressive thunder internal force was found at Gavin's wound after his head had been cut off.

"When it comes to the thunder internal force, there's nothing we can do. We can't investigate further. Even the royal family doesn't dare to get involved with it," Toby replied, his eyebrows knitted together.

"Sir, I don't understand. Can you tell me why?" Darren inquired, perplexed by the older man's words.

"To tell you the truth, only the masters from the Holy Lands of martial arts can refine the thunder internal force. I just don't get it. How did Gavin get himself killed by a master from the Holy Land?"

Even Darren had no idea why his father would have been murdered.

"Well, I need to get back to the Governor's Office. I hope you will not dig into it further. Nothing good will come out of it," Toby said with cupped fists and walked away.

"Holy Land..." Darren repeated to himself. It suddenly occurred to him that his sister had been taken away by a person from a Holy Land of martial arts. The girl who had taken Belle with her was from the Lotus Holy Land.

"Where are the Holy Lands of martial arts?" Darren murmured. He decided he would go to the Lotus Holy Land even if it turned out the place had nothing to do with his father's death and sister's disappearance.

But he had little information about where the Lotus Holy Land was. Therefore he had to delay his plans to get to the Holy Land until he could gather more information. He shook off these thoughts, and without hesitation, he turned his horse towards Ilmen Sect.

...

As he was halfway to his destination, a great wind blew across the mountains causing leaves to fly in the air in a star-like pattern.

Darren drew in the reins, bringing his horse to a stop. He activated his divine sense to scan his surroundings. After a few seconds, he sensed several people on a mountain peak not far from him. Each exuded an enormously strong aura.

"They all are as strong as the elders of Ilmen Sect!" Darren exclaimed in shock as he felt their presence. Wasting no time at all, he held his breath and hid in the bush, hoping he could avoid being noticed.

Soon after, those masters landed a hundred meters away from Darren.

"Can't you keep a low profile? Why did you have to make a scene?" one complained. The group consisted of five people, and each carried a shining blade on their back. The aura emanating from them made Darren shiver with fear.

they looked like they were in their early thirties, a young age for auras to be so great.
