Lord Of Martial Arts

Darren and Gatlin walked out of the secret room together.

Thick clouds hung in the sky, casting a shadow over the earth.

"What's going on?"

Darren felt something was amiss, but it was not the pressure from a chief god.

Gatlin gazed up at the dark sky. He did not speak, and he seemed indifferent.

Crack!

Thunder rumbled in the sky and cut through the clouds.

In the gap, large, golden words appeared.

"Territory Enfeoffing Emperor."

Darren's heart skipped a beat when he saw those words.

It was as if they kept getting larger and larger, threatening to engulf him with their magnitude.

"Are the words flying towards me?"

Darren panicked. He tried to escape but found that he could not move at all.

Swish!

He was drowned in the golden light.

"Huh?"

After a while, the light began to dim and disperse. Darren was shaking all over, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"This... What the hell is going on?" Darren looked at Gatlin, his eyes wide.

"Congratulations, my patriarch! You have inherited the Chu Clan's homeland. You are now the real patriarch of the Chu Clan," Gatlin said, his tone calm and even.

"Inherit...the homeland? What do you mean by saying I've inherited the homeland?" Darren asked, confused.

"Well, to some extent, you have now become the master of the Chaotic Region."

"What do you mean? Does that mean that I have full control over the Chaotic Region?" Darren asked.

"No. It means that from now on, you will fight for the Chu Clan and attempt to win back our territory. Only after you ascend to the throne of the Chaotic Region can you be relieved of your official duties," Gatlin said.

"My official duties? Please stop speaking in riddles! I need you to clear things up!" Darren's face darkened. He felt like he had been fooled by Gatlin.

"Patriarch Darren, please don't get angry. Let me explain. The leader of every region should first inherit the throne of the region before they become its ruler and controller. What you have just inherited is the former throne of the Chu Clan.

Once you are enfeoffed, you will become the nominal leader of the Chaotic Region. You will have to continuously expand your territory to ensure that you will keep the throne," Gatlin explained.

"Humph! Why didn't you tell me earlier? I have absolutely no interest in the enfeoffment at all. I do not want to expand territory at all, either! I'm leaving!" Darren was irritated. Obviously, Gatlin had known about this for a long time. The fact that he hid it from Darren disgusted Darren. He did not appreciate people tricking h

d to be the leader of the clan on their terms, there have been more than twenty deputy gods behind them, controlling the region. The two cases are similar. However, the Chu Clan suffered both internal strife and attacks from other clans after the ancestor of the Chu Clan died. All the great masters of the Chu Clan who controlled the clan have fled. No one is left to protect the territory."

Darren slowly began to understand what Gatlin meant.

The history of each major region was not as simple as they appeared. Even Lord Starry Sword should not be the strongest existence in the Starry Sword Region. There must be a few powerful masters working on his behalf.

"Patriarch Darren, it's not as difficult as you think to expand territory. In order to maintain your throne for a period of time, you only need to keep the land ten kilometers around you under your control. When you become stronger in the future, you can expand the territory until you obtain the Chu Clan's original land," Gatlin said.

Darren was silent.

"Patriarch Darren, I know you are angry with me because you feel that I duped you. I am deeply sorry, and I am willing to kill myself to pay for my mistake."

With tears in his weary eyes, Gatlin raised his hand. He was about to strike himself with his palm.

"Stop!"

Darren gave a loud shout. He released a tremendous force to stop Gatlin.

"What's done is done. What good will killing yourself do? That's stupid!"

Darren was also very moved by what Gatlin did. The Chu Clan had already been destroyed for a long time, but Gatlin went out of his way to find a way to revive it and restore it to its former glory. Such loyalty was rare.

There was no reason for Darren to put the blame on him.
