Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1296

Murphy shook his head dismissively.

"Help? You won't be able to solve this problem unless you manage to get someone at the top level of the Celestial God Realm to help you." He didn't think that Darren could easily invite such a powerful cultivator. Besides, Maxwell must have already arranged spies around the area to prevent any members of their sect from escaping. Darren would only be caught red-handed if he went out, unless he snuck out through the secret passage.

"I have a friend in mind who is quite the cultivator. If I can bring him here, I think this crisis could be resolved."

Darren was not sure if he could successfully invite Akbar over, because the latter had already said in the past that he couldn't leave the swamp. Despite this, given the critical circumstances, even if Akbar couldn't come in person, his input could definitely help Darren figure the situation out. This possible win-win situation weighed greatly on Darren's mind.

"You're really friends with someone who is at the top level of the Celestial God Realm?" asked Murphy, surprised.

"Yes, his name is Akbar, but he's often called Lord Akbar," said Darren.

"What?" Murphy couldn't believe his ears. Could the name he heard just now really be the one he knew of?

"Darren, do you really know Lord Akbar?" asked Murphy in disbelief.

"Of course I know him. Why else would I tell you I'm going to ask him for help?" said Darren with a soft chuckle.

"Well then that's amazing! If you can manage to bring him here, perhaps even the senior leaders of the Blood Abyss Sect wouldn't dare lay a finger on us! But are you sure the Lord Akbar you know is the one who cultivates the natural law?"

Murphy's doubt was reasonable. After all, Akbar had been very famous in the beginning and then suddenly disappeared without a trace. Murphy suspected that Darren might have mistaken someone else for Akbar.

"Yes, I'm pretty sure. Master Murphy, I'd say your tone sounds like you know Akbar quite well. Is this correct?" Darren couldn't quite understand Murphy's excitement upon hearing Akbar's name.

"Ha-ha, that's for sure. Many years ago, Akbar was very well known in the world. Many people even believed that he could be on par with Lord Starry Sword in the future. Unfortunately, while he was at the peak of his fame, he seemed to have offended a great master in seclusion and then he just disappeared.

Since then, many people supposed that he had been killed by that same great master in seclusion. Hence, his legend was only known by the people in our era. Very few people of the later generations heard about him," explained Murphy.

"Wow, I didn't expect that guy to be so powerful." Darren was impressed and surprised at Akbar's fame. "It seems that I'll have to pay him a visit this time, or we'll have no chances of survival if the Blood Abyss Sect agrees to help Maxwell."

Murphy said nothing in response as his expression took a dark turn.

"Darren, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult for you to invite Lord Akbar to help us even if you are indeed friends. After all, he's a very revered master."

Akbar was a powerful warrior who had entered the Superior God Realm, so it was hard for Murphy to imagine that he would come over to fix just anyone's problems.

"You don't have to worry about that. Even if he can't come here in person, I'm sure he'd still help me find a solution. In a way, he looks up to me like an elder brother I guess," said Darren with a calm smile.

Murphy was taken aback. He couldn't wrap his head around what Darren meant by that. 'Did Darren just say that the famous Lord Akbar looks up to him like an elder brother?'

When he realized what Darren meant, Murphy burst into wild laughter.

"Master Murphy, don't you believe me?"

"I don't believe you at all." Murphy rolled his eyes at Darren and shook his head.

"Then let me pay him a visit and get ready to find out if I'm telling the truth."

"Okay. I'll accompany you then. After all, it's much too dangerous for you to go alone." Murphy's current strength was comparable to that of a cultivator at the middle-level of the Celestial God Realm. Darren would indeed be much safer with him around.

"There's no need, Master Murphy. You'd better stay here and assume command. I promise you I'll be back in three days tops."

Despite his generous offer, Murphy also knew that if he left with Darren, the sect would be in pandemonium.

"Okay. Please be careful. I'll escort you out of the array, at least." After thinking it over carefully, Murphy decided to let Darren go out through the secret passage, so that he would not need to be escorted by anyone. However, Murphy still had little hope for the help from Lord Akbar that Darren mentioned.

"Okay."

Darren and Murphy flew to the mountain behind the sect together. Murphy let Darren get out through the secret passage under the cliff.

At the end of the secret passage, Darren came across a mountain range.

"Master Murphy, how about we lead all the disciples to escape through this secret passage?" Darren suggested as he flew out from the exit of the passage.

"No way. This secret passage can only be opened thrice. And only three people at a time can pass through it. Besides, even without the limit of the number of people, we can't sneak thousands of people through the passage. It is simply not feasible."

There were disciples of various levels in this branch of the Starry Sword Sect, so it was almost impossible to take them all away and transfer them.
