'Master Joe?' Everyone became excited at the mention of the famous appraiser's name. He would know for sure whether the jade fan was the real deal. The owner quickly went to get him.Soon, he came back with a salt-and-pepper-haired old man, who looked to be about 60 years old. He was dressed in an ash-white robe and looked to be in good spirits. The crowd became even more excited when they saw the old man."It's Master Joe!""We'll know once and for all whether the jade fan is real!"Darryl remained standing leisurely where he was. He knew Simon Joe very well as they were both Stellan's apprentices. In fact, he was his senior for having joined earlier than Simon. "Master Joe, this is the jade fan I told you about. Can you please check whether that was made during the Song Dynasty? That customer there had paid two million for it, so I want to make sure that all his doubts are dispelled," the owner said as he passed the jade fan to Simon.Simon nodded and repeatedly turned the j

Two old men stood behind them; they looked to be around 70 years old. They were dressed in ancient-style black robes, and their hair was pulled up into a high bun. In addition, they were giving off a compelling aura. It was as if they had time-traveled from the past. "Yes, that's me. May I know where you came from, and how can I help you?" Darryl asked, confused. He was sure he had never seen them in his life. Debra and Jewel were equally confused too."We're both elders from the Hidden Heroes Sect. I'm Elder Wind, and he's Elder Fire. Our sect master wants to meet you, so please come with us," Elder Wind said as he kept his gaze fixed on Darryl. His icy voice left no room for negotiation.Darryl frowned and smiled bitterly. "I don't know who your sect master is, and besides, I have more important matters to attend to," he said. Then, he turned to leave."Halt!" Elder Wind shouted. He activated his internal energy and cast a palm strike at Darryl. The strike shot across the air li

Darryl frowned, confusion written all over his face. He had attained mastery in the Art of Elixir and memorized the Infinite Elixir Manual, but even so, he had never heard of a Fairy Soul Suppressing Pill.Elder Wind smiled, and his eyes shimmered. "Don't worry, that is not poison. That pill is used to suppress your fairy soul just in case you try anything funny."During the fight, he was shocked that Darryl had a fairy soul. After all, it was not heard of for someone that young to have one. As for the Fairy Soul Suppressing Pill, it was a unique pill developed by the Hidden Hero Sect. The founder of the sect was a subordinate of the Yellow Emperor. Ten thousand years ago, the Yellow Emperor developed many methods to take down the gods, and the Fairy Soul Suppressing Pill was one of them.Darryl was shocked. 'What? That pill can suppress my fairy soul? Who exactly are these people?'At the same time, he was enraged. He would have won the battle if it were not for Elder Fire resor

"Let's go! We should not make Sect Master wait," Elder Fire said and began to lead the way with Elder Wind. Darryl nodded and trailed behind them. Along the way, they bumped into many disciples patrolling the area. Darryl could tell that the deeper they went into the building, the more powerful the disciples were. The entire Hidden Hero Sect was heavily guarded.Finally, they reached a bright and spacious hall. Darryl was struck speechless by what he saw. There were a few people seated inside the hall. Amongst them were two elders dressed in the same black robe as Elder Wind. Their hair and beards were white, and they both seemed to be very powerful.There was a throne further in the hall. A beautiful woman dressed in a silk dress sat on the throne. Her figure was a ten, and her exquisite features were indescribably alluring. To top it off, she had a very powerful aura. She was Agatha Lange, the sect master of the Hidden Hero Sect. At that moment, Agatha could sense the unparallele

Darryl just smiled at her, not taking her words to heart. The next second, he turned to Agatha and said courteously, "Your Excellency, I have explained everything to you, and we all know that it was a misunderstanding. I trust that I can go now?"Debra and Jewel must be worried sick about him. Agatha smiled faintly and said, "There's no need to rush. Don't you want to know more about the Hidden Hero Sect?"Darryl was taken aback. "Only if you're willing to tell me," he said with a smile. He had to admit that he was a little curious about the sect's origin. After all, it was impossible to find a sect in the entire Nine Mainland where the sect master and all the elders were close to the Elevation level. Agatha nodded and said, "The Hidden Hero Sect was established 13,000 years ago…"For the next ten minutes, Agatha told him everything about the Hidden Hero Sect.'What? The founder was a subordinate of the Yellow Emperor? And the famous emperor died in the hands of the Godly Reg
