CHAPTER 1351 SEALED

Merle was shocked upon knowing that the Rule Soul Avatar couldn't shackle the purple-eyed fiend. He

realized that he had been too naive just now. What if the fiend decided to kill him?

He clenched his fists as his face darkened at this thought.

"Xavier, what do you mean you can't shackle him?" Merle quickly asked through his spiritual sense.

"He's not affected by the Shackle Laws that I can use."

The Rule Soul Avatar felt that the blood of the purple-eyed fiend had a strong ability to disperse various

laws.

Technically speaking, the Shackle and Attack Laws in the mining area couldn't affect the fiend at all. It

meant that more powerful laws existed that fully imprisoned the purple-eyed fiend, and the laws in the

mining area were only auxiliary ones. The Rule Soul Avatar was able to analyze this because he had

neutralized the laws in the mining area that restrained the purple-eyed fiend so that the fiend could

activate the power in his blood. This, in turn, enabled him to break more advanced Shackle Laws.

Therefore, right now, the laws that the Rule Soul Avatar had mastered were not able to suppress the

purple-eyed fiend.

"You actually have a good sense of what you can or can't do. That's impressive." The purple-eyed fiend

let out a faint smile, staring back at the Rule Soul Avatar with sincere eyes.

"What are you waiting for? Why are you still here?" the Rule Soul Avatar asked.

"Why am I still here? I wish it's that simple to leave this place." The purple-eyed fiend only said that he

had the ability to leave because he wanted to frighten the Rule Soul Avatar. However, the truth was that

the entire mine was under the jurisdiction of a powerful fiend god. With just the purple-eyed fiend's

strength, he would not be able to escape. Moreover, the mine was sealed with a powerful force. Those

restrictions were not something he could easily break.

Only then did the Rule Soul Avatar realize that he might have overestimated the abilities of the purple-

eyed fiend all along. The power of his blood should only have a relatively stronger prowess of

dispersing various laws, but it still couldn't break the restrictions.

"But why are you still staying here in this mining area?" The Rule Soul Avatar deduced that even if the

purple-eyed fiend couldn't get out of the mine, he could at least leave this specific mining area.

"What are you saying? Of course, I'm waiting for you. Your ability is really astounding. You must have

found a way to break the restrictions of the mine, right? Just tell me what I need to do, and I'll lend a

hand." The purple-eyed fiend was pretty confident that the Rule Soul Avatar was the only one who

could help him get out of there.

"Why are you so sure? I don't think I can do what you're saying," the Rule Soul Avatar replied with a

hint of confusion in his voice.

"Well, I didn't ask you to do it now. You still have about three hundred years to be able to do it.

However, if that amount of time elapsed and you were still unable to break the restrictions, then I would

give up on you. And also, I would have to kill both of you," the purple-eyed fiend said calmly, letting out

a threatening smile.

The Rule Soul Avatar didn't utter a word and averted his gaze. The purple-eyed fiend took his silence

as agreement to his demands.

Merle, on the other hand, was quickly infuriated. He deemed that this fiend was being extremely

arrogant. However, he also knew that the fiend was pretty powerful, thus if he really wanted to kill the

fiend, he might not stand a chance. 'Just you wait. One day, I will merge with you, ' he thought to

himself.

"By the way, be careful when you're collecting the Blood Stones. The old monster is so possessive of Content provided by .

them. If he discovered that you're secretly taking them, you might suddenly die without any warning,"

the purple-eyed fiend reminded them.

"Mind your own business," the Rule Soul Avatar answered coldly. Then, he sat on the ground with legs

crossed and began to refine the Order Law.

At the same time, in a cave inside the mine, an old fiend was sitting with his legs crossed. Beside him

was a pale-looking human with a visibly large wound on his hand. From it, blood flowed down and

dripped into a transparent cup.

"Distinguished fiend god, the two humans were able to free Prince Leland. Shall we kill them now?" a

figure in black reported to the old fiend what had happened in the mining area.

Before answering, the old fiend casually took a sip on the cup filled with blood.

"No need to rush. It seems that there is a Defiant Master behind those two humans. We can wait for a

while and see what happens," the old fiend answered.

"As you wish. What about Prince Leland?" the figure in black asked.

"It's fine. Don't do anything to him for the time being. Let's see what kind of tricks he is going to pull with

those humans," the old fiend instructed.

"Yes, sir," the black figure replied and immediately vanished.

Meanwhile, in the Tussle Region of the human territory

"Darren, we have good news!"

Gatlin arrived and went to see Darren excitedly. Darren had asked him to just call him by his name, so

he did as told.

"Is it about the killing points?" Darren asked expectantly.

"Yes! I spoke to those clans and they were sensible enough to hand in over a billion killing points,"

Gatlin informed.

"Oh, that's nice to hear!" Darren was satisfied with the news. A few days ago, he had also sold the

remaining divine patterns that he possessed. With the one billion killing points that Gatlin had

possessed, plus the killing points that they had gathered from the other clans, and the killing points that

Darren had acquired from selling his divine patterns, it was already enough for the three of them to get

out of the Tussle Region.

"So, shall we set out at once, or do you still have other plans?" Gatlin asked.

"Darren, let's go now. I don't want to stay here any longer," Lindsay, who was beside Darren, butted in.

"That's right. I've been waiting for this moment a long time ago." Even Finley expressed his excitement

to leave the region, so Darren agreed that they could go as soon as everything was ready.

Right after finishing all the necessary preparations, Gatlin bid goodbye to his family and immediately

left with Darren and his companions.

After flying for a few hours, they finally arrived at the region's exit, where they could exchange the

killing points in order to get out.

However, there was no one there except a guard who was dozing off during his duty.

It was a bit of a strange sight. Normally, there were at least a few dozens to hundreds of people who

would be here, leaving the Tussle Region through the array.

"Hey, we need to exchange our killing points for the transmission tokens." Gatlin approached the guard

and tried to wake him up.

Eventually, the guard slowly opened his eyes and was obviously annoyed that someone disturbed his

sleep.

"Are you blind? Can't you see that the transmission array has been sealed?" the guard said while

yawning, making some of his words hard to make out.

"What?" Gatlin couldn't believe what he was witnessing so he slapped the guard across his face. "Talk

to me properly!"

Before he left the Tussle Region, he was still one of the leaders of the Tussle Holy House, so he

somewhat had the authority in the region. Although he was just a branch leader and couldn't be

compared to the senior leaders, his position was enough to impose and frighten a minion guarding the

transmission array.

The guard quickly regained his senses and realized whom he was talking to. "Oh, sir! I didn't know it

was you. I'm so sorry." He immediately knelt on one knee and bowed to apologize.

Gatlin composed himself and waved his sleeve. He asked the guard in an authoritative voice, "So,

speak. What happened here?"

"Sir, haven't you received the notice about it? It states that a peculiar-looking mountain has suddenly

appeared and all the transmission arrays are forbidden to operate."

When Darren heard this, his heart sank.

He knew exactly what the guard was talking about. It should be because of the sudden appearance of

the Archean mountain. Back then, even Finley's real body had gone to inspect it. He was told that Lord

Starry Sword and other masters would be going there. It should be a great issue that only the top

masters could deal with.

However, he didn't expect that the Tussle Region would forbid everyone to leave because of this

incident.

It was extremely troublesome for Darren and the others. They had worked so hard to finally have the

chance to leave the region. But because of this incident, they didn't know when they would be able to

do so.

Exasperated with what he heard, Gatlin slapped the guard again.

"Liar! I haven't received such notice!" Gatlin shouted as his eyes widened.

"Sir, I'm not lying. Please believe me…" The guard started crying as he convinced Gatlin.

Gatlin was about to slap the guard a third time, but Darren signaled him to stop and said, "He's telling

the truth."

"What? Really? How did you know?" Gatlin asked out of curiosity.

"I actually witnessed the emergence of that mountain. The leaders from various regions and also some

secluded masters have gone there to investigate the matter. I just didn't expect that they'll seal the

array because of that," Darren explained and let out a deep sigh.

"I see." Gatlin also took a deep breath. It might be hard for him to believe such a thing at first, but he

knew that Darren would never lie about it. There was no reason for him to do so.

"This is so frustrating." While he already accepted the fact that they wouldn't be able to leave, Gatlin

couldn't help but ask, "So, what are we going to do now?"

"Well, nothing. We can just wait and see what happens." Though he was deeply disappointed, Darren

had no choice but to back off. The transmission array was sealed, and no one was allowed to leave.

They wouldn't be able to do anything even if they insisted.
