Nobilis of War
Chapter 1148 Vigilance

Scar's eyelids twitched when he heard the little girl's question. He came up with a plan.

'Although Darren is a disciple of Lord Starry Sword in the mortal world, no one knows that he has come to the Primitive Wilderness. Maybe the guards in the Starry Sword Region won't replace him as long as he is concealed by the secret array and his Starry Tower is in good condition.

Moreover, if I could successfully kill this guy and occupy the Starry Tower, I could even pretend to be a disciple of the Starry Sword Region! Lord Starry Sword's avatars can be found in countless mortal worlds. Surely, he can't remember every disciple. Therefore, the Starry Tower is a marker of identity, '

Scar thought to himself excitedly.

"Ha-ha! This way, Darren. The mountain ahead is our stronghold," Scar said with a bright smile as he ushered the way for Darren and Elsa.

An hour later, they finally reached the mountain.

"Sister, ask Aidan to set up a secret array."

"Ha-ha! I knew it," the girl replied using her spiritual sense. Unconsciously, she curled her lips contemptuously.

Darren saw the little girl's expression inadvertently.

'I think they're up to something,' Darren thought. He pretended to know nothing, but he could feel that the atmosphere was tense. He tried to remain vigilant like he was walking on eggshells. "Darren, why are we here? We can just leave," Elsa asked prudently using her spiritual sense.

"We can't. If we insisted on leaving, they would think that we are afraid of them and would try to fight us. I just have the Starry Tower. Even if I was killed, the Lord Starry Sword may not care, so we have to go with them.

Elsa, I can sense that they are up to something. Let's just play it by ear. Stay alert," Darren said using his spiritual sense.

"Okay, be careful." Elsa gave a nod.

Then, they headed forward.

After passing some paths that had been equipped with arrays, Darren and the others finally arrived at their stronghold.

There were many stone houses around a radius of tens of thousands of feet.

Many people went on with their peaceful lives. It looked like a peaceful rural village.

"Please, sit down."

Scar led Darren and Elsa to his stone house, while the rest of his companions followed behind closely.

Then, Scar ordered his men to serve some wine and fresh meat.

"Darren, try this meat."

"Oh, thank you."

Darren picked up a roasted beast leg and started to eat it. Then, he drank several glasses of wine.

"Darren, you're very frank."

Darren gave him a faint smile and said, "It's actually my first time here in the Primitive Wilderness. Could you please tell me where I can replace the Starry Sword Region?"

The moment Darren asked this question, he felt something wrong. As a disciple of the Lord Starry Sword, how could he not know where the Starry Sword Region was? However, the words had been spoken. What's done could not be changed.

"Darren?" The short man next to him glanced curiously at Darren and asked, "Didn't your master leave you any map or something?"

"Ha-ha." Darren laughed nervously. "It's actually a funny story. The map that my master gave me was accidentally crushed when I became a god. It was my only copy, so now I don't know where to replace the Starry Sword Region."

"I see. Well, let me tell you.

The Primitive Wilderness is a vast and boundless land. All the known areas can be divided into nine abysses and ten hells. They are all occupied by powerful races. This part of the land we humans reside in is just a small piece of desolate land. It is not recognized as one of the nine abysses and ten hells.

The territory of the human race is also divided into nine regions and ten prefectures. The rest of the regions are occupied by some sects that were passed down in generations.

The Starry Sword Region is one of the nine regions. It was established by the Lord Starry Sword and remained in the Primitive Wilderness for thousands of years. It has never declined since then.

Right now, we are in the Blood Cloud Region, which is governed by the Lord Blood Cloud Spear. The Blood Cloud Region and the Starry Sword Region are at least ten billion kilometers apart. In order to go to the Starry Sword Region, you have to enter the core area of the Blood Cloud Region and replace the transmission array,"

the short man explained to Darren in detail.

He didn't want to ruin the act by being rude and skeptical, so he intentionally behaved in a friendly manner for less suspicion.

"Thank you for your explanation." Darren expressed his gratitude and cupped his hands.

"Ha-ha, you are welcome. In fact, I don't know much about it. However, I have some sourced materials that may be helpful for you. If you want to read them, you can stay here for a few days. Remember, Darren, don't forget us when you become a big shot. Ha-ha-ha!" With that, the short man handed a piece of turtle shell to Darren. If Darren had not noticed the change of the little girl's expression before, he would have completely lowered his guard against those people. They were too warm and welcoming to him.

"Sure."

Darren smiled and took the turtle shell, which was engraved with dense words and a region map. It was so small that they could only be read with the help of the Spirit Power.

Darren put away the shell and continued to drink and eat. Elsa, who sat next to Darren, did not show any restraint. She just ate casually and behaved appropriately.

After the meal, Darren stood up and prepared to leave.

Whenever Darren would try to say goodbye, Scar and his companions would always pretend to be angry and would convince him to stay. Darren was afraid that if he insisted on leaving, Scar would get aggravated, which would strike out his chances of escaping. After all, Scar was at the upper-level Primary God Realm.

"Alright, alright. Elsa and I will stay."

"Ha-ha! Don't worry, Darren. I will arrange a place where no one will disturb you and Elsa." The short man winked at them.

Before long, Scar had arranged Darren and Elsa's accommodation.

"Darren, what should we do? They keep on insisting that we stay with them. They are definitely up to no good."

"That's for sure. Don't worry. If we can't fight them, we must replace an opportunity to escape." However, at that time, Darren couldn't come up with a solution.

In Scar's room

"Aidan, you are an upper-level law god. Is there any way I can get a hold of a secret array to kill them and get the Starry Tower?"

"Well, it's too difficult,"

an old man said with a sigh.

"Can't you do that?" The little girl butted in. If Scar could become a disciple of the Starry Sword Region, their clan didn't have to seek refuge in that remote place any longer.

"Yes, but it will take at least three days. Moreover, I can't guarantee that I can kill him without being noticed. The chances are 50-50. Scar, you have to think about it clearly. If we fail, our clan might be at risk of extermination." The old man was worried.

"Aidan, I've thought it over. This risk is worth taking!"

"Yes, Scar is right. Fortune favors the brave!"

"I agree too."

Everyone expressed their support for Scar because the prestige of being a Starry Sword Region disciple was so tempting.

"Okay, you are our leader. I am going to prepare for it now. You must make sure that you can keep him here for three more days.

If you can't, there is actually another way, which might work as well," the old man said.

"Really? What is it, Aidan?" Scar and the others were immediately interested. They gaped at Aiden intently and waited for his response.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
