CHAPTER 1416 RIDING THE THUNDER BIRD

"Oh, if he was among those great masters, he would definitely do you a favor and help you find Elsa,"

replied Weber.

Gatlin, who was just listening to their conversation, chimed in, "It seemed that the leader of the Blood

Cloud Region didn't enter the relic at that time. It was said that he had been in seclusion."

He knew about it because he had obtained a lot of other information when he was inquiring about

Darren at that time.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, we are not going to do something bad. We can just tell him directly what we

need," Darren said.

"You're right. Let's go."

Darren, Weber, and Gatlin flew up again to go to the transmission array that led to the capital city of the

Blood Cloud Region.

The next day, they landed in another city.

This city had been established by a sect that was directly affiliated to the Blood Cloud Region. The

transmission array was arranged in this city, so there were a lot of travelers passing through.

"Good day, three gentlemen. Where are you going?"

asked the disciple of the Blood Cloud Region politely when he saw the three of them. He was

responsible for guarding the transmission array. He sensed that Gatlin was a strong warrior at the

Celestial God Realm.

"We are going to the capital city."

"Okay. The three of you will go there?"

"Yes. How many divine stones do we need to pay?"

"For the three of you, you need to pay a total of twelve divine stones."

Gatlin immediately took out twelve divine stones and handed them to the disciple. There was no

exception here. Everyone who wanted to pass through the transmission array had to pay divine stones.

After taking the divine stones, the disciple said, "Gentlemen, I have something to tell you. The

transmission array is out of order right now. It will take a few months before it can be used again. For

now, you can only go to the capital city by riding a Thunder Bird. And it will take you seven days at

most to get there."

"Humph!" Weber snorted. His face darkened in an instant, and the fats in his body trembled with anger.

He said coldly, "How dare you ask us for divine stones when the transmission array can't be used!"

"Sir, please don't be angry. I can't do anything about it. Besides, a Thunder Bird can take you there. It is

still faster than someone at the top level of the Celestial God Realm flying there. And you will be very

comfortable sitting on the Thunder Bird since you don't have to consume your god's power. But if you

really don't want to, of course, I can return your divine stones. It's all up to you."

Weber grabbed the disciple's collar and roared, "You will not only have to return our divine stones. You

will also have to compensate us for our letdown."

"Well..." The disciple got startled, and he was rendered speechless.

"Weber, let go of him." Darren glared at Weber. He didn't think it was necessary for Weber to get so

agitated. After all, the man was merely a disciple guarding the transmission array. Someone else must

have made the decision, and the disciple was only following an order. The disciple was not to be

blamed.

Weber let go of the disciple at once. He then said, "I'm just afraid that you will be anxious, Darren."

"Yes, I'm anxious. But I don't mind waiting for a few days. Let's take the Thunder Bird," replied Darren.

"Are you sure now?" the disciple asked for confirmation.

"Cut the crap! Hurry and prepare the Thunder Bird for us," Weber snapped.

"Yes, sir."

The disciple brought them to a large square where hundreds of gigantic Thunder Birds came and went.

"Well, not bad at all. It might even feel good if we take this big guy."

There was a pavilion built on the back of each Thunder Bird. There were even landscapes and three

thousand seats.

Soon enough, the Thunder Bird flew in the air at a very fast speed.

Weber stood in the front and enjoyed the cool wind.

All of a sudden, Darren heard some people talking beside him.

"Alas, I hope we won't run into any accident," one said with a sigh.

"Yeah. I heard that there have been a lot of accidents recently. More than a dozen Thunder Birds have

inexplicably disappeared, and the people riding on them have also disappeared. It sounds so creepy."

"Don't worry. Even if there have been a lot of accidents, it doesn't necessarily mean that we will also Content is © 2024 .

experience the same thing."

"I hope so."

After flying for a few hours, Darren, Weber, and Gatlin had heard a lot of people talking about the

accidents.

"Darren, if you didn't stop me earlier, I would have beaten that disciple. Well, he only deserved it.

Obviously, he knew that riding a Thunder Bird was risky, but he deliberately didn't tell us." Weber gritted

his teeth after hearing the people around them discussing about the accidents.

Darren didn't respond to Weber. Instead, he walked to the pavilion at the rear. He wanted to sit down

and cultivate for a while.

There were powerful restrictions around the pavilion. It would be difficult for someone whose strength

was below the middle-level of the Celestial God Realm to break them. Thus, it was very quiet inside the

pavilion, and many people were cultivating there.

"Hey, young man! You can't go in there."

As soon as Darren approached the pavilion, someone stopped him.

"What's wrong?" he asked flatly.

"I'm sorry. My young master and his friends are cultivating inside. So, please don't go in. Here are ten

divine stones. Please accept them,"

the man, who looked like a steward, said in a modest tone.

"Don't worry. I'm going inside to cultivate for a while too. I won't disturb them," Darren said as he

pushed the divine stones back.

"Young man, please do me a favor. My young master doesn't like to be with strangers." After saying

that, the man took out twenty more divine stones.

But still, Darren did not accept them.

At this time, two men and a woman standing behind Darren also wanted to enter the pavilion to have a

rest.

The three of them walked past Darren and were about to go inside. But before they could even step in,

a domineering palm strike suddenly approached them.

They were forced to retreat at high speed.

"What the hell is wrong with you? My young master is cultivating inside. How can nobodies like you

come in too? Get out of here!"

yelled the steward.

"What?" Darren's forehead creased in a deep frown.

He didn't lose his temper just now because the steward spoke to him politely. And he understood that

the steward was merely a servant, so he didn't want to make things difficult for him.

But it seemed that the steward was only polite to selected people. He became rude to the three young

people who were at the upper-level of the Star God Realm.

After thinking for a while, Darren realized that the steward treated him politely because he was with

Gatlin. Since Gatlin was a master at the Celestial God Realm, the steward must be afraid of him.

One of the young men rushed back angrily and pointed at the steward.

"Why are you so rude? If you don't want us to go inside, you can nicely tell us. Why do you have to

beat us?"

"Get out of here! If you keep talking, I will beat you more,"

roared the steward coldly. His body then emitted an aura at the low-level of the Celestial God Realm.

The three young people were shocked, and their faces turned pale.

They got so scared that they shut their mouths and retreated quietly.

The commotion attracted other people's attention outside. They all came to take a look.

"Everyone, listen! The whole cultivation area on this Thunder Bird has been booked by my young

master, so you can just spend the rest of the journey quietly outside. Don't come in and disturb my

young master. Or else, I will be forced to teach you a lesson,"

the steward announced to the crowd. He thought that it would be better to let everyone know than to

stop them from coming in one by one.

"Why? Just like your young master, we have also paid divine stones. Why does he have to occupy the

whole cultivation area?"

"Yes, that's right. And we heard that something inexplicable has been happening to the Thunder Birds

recently. If we are not allowed to go in, what if something bad happened outside? If we meet any

accident here, will you take responsibility?"

Many people wanted to go inside the pavilion because of the powerful protective restrictions that were

not available in other areas.

"Stop making noises. Otherwise, you will end up like those three stupid people just now." The steward

revealed his aura at the low-level of the Celestial God Realm again.

No one dared speak when they sensed his aura. They couldn't afford to provoke a warrior at the

Celestial God Realm, so they had to forcefully swallow their anger.

"Weber, Gatlin, come here. Let's go inside and have a rest."

Darren called his two companions with a cold face. The steward was definitely not able to scare him.

"Mister, are you really shameless?" the steward shouted. His face darkened at once.
