CHAPTER 1457 HE HADN'T LEFT
Roland gripped half of Elgin's body tightly. Elgin struggled violently, but he couldn't break free.
On the other hand, the Rule Soul Avatar used the Trap Law to trap the other half of Elgin's body.
Since Elgin had destroyed his own body, his cultivation level was no longer at the Deputy God Realm.
Therefore, the sword array that rushed out of the blood pass also dissipated.
Stewart and Jamison flew over to help Roland. They controlled the other half of Elgin's body and
dragged him back.
Darren mobilized his god's power to heal his wounds quickly. Although he had spat blood just now, it
was only because of the impact. He was not seriously injured at all.
"Roland, thank you for your help. I would have already died if you weren't there," Darren said, cupping
his hands towards Roland to show his gratitude.
"You are welcome, Patriarch Darren. It is my duty to protect you."
Darren smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you are so powerful, Roland. I'm wondering why you didn't
fight back when those bandits wanted to kill you earlier."
Roland smiled bitterly and said, "Patriarch Darren, there is something you don't know. After the Chu
Clan was annihilated, I felt extremely hopeless. It caused my faith in martial arts to collapse. I was like
a disabled man at that time. But when I saw you, I was enlightened, and my faith in martial arts slowly
came back. Just now, when you were in grave danger, I got so anxious that I forcefully acted on my
heart and soul. To my surprise, I succeeded and restored my previous fighting power."
The way Roland explained it sounded so simple. But the truth was, the process of reconstructing one's
collapsed faith in martial arts was very complicated and painful.
"Ha-ha! I'm glad to know that you have recovered your strength and fighting power. From now on, our
Chu Clan has one more backbone," Darren said with a smile.
"You are flattering me too much, Patriarch Darren. I am just at the top level of the Superior God Realm.
I can only make minor contributions to our clan. I don't deserve to be called a backbone," Roland said
modestly.
Darren shook his head, smiled, and said, "No. The top level of the Superior God Realm is already good
enough. By the way, from now on, don't call me patriarch anymore. We are buddies from the same
generation and clan, so let's just call each other by our names."
If they based on the seniority in their clan, Roland could be considered as Darren's elder cousin.
"Yes, Darren," Roland agreed.
After they talked, Darren gathered everyone. They needed to think of a more effective plan to deal with
Elgin.
"Darren, Elgin is very powerful. Why don't you take him as a believer?"
Stewart suggested. He had seen how Darren had recruited those members of the bloodsucker race
earlier, so he knew that Darren was a Defiant Master.
"That's actually a good idea. Maybe I can do that." Darren nodded in agreement.
He immediately released the blood poison and the itchy poison. He believed that without these two,
Elgin would never surrender to him.
Darren tortured Elgin for three days and three nights. However, Elgin remained unyielding and never
agreed to become Darren's believer.
"Master, can I help you persuade him?" Carthy sent a message through his spiritual sense.
"Okay. You can talk to him," Darren agreed. After all, if he could take one more Bloodsucker Prince as
his believer, his black god's power would further grow stronger. And most importantly, he would have
an additional powerful helper.
Darren got Carthy out of his small world.
Carthy then walked up to Elgin and said, "Your Highness, you are so stupid. Despite the intense pain
that you have suffered, you are still unwilling to submit to my master. I think you are too far behind my
father."
Although he was too weak now, Elgin raised his head upon hearing Carthy's voice.
"Do you want to know who my father is? He is a powerful Ancestor Guarding Bloodsucker Prince. But
even he has surrendered to my master. How about you? What makes you so stubborn?" Carthy
deliberately lied about his father to make Elgin give in.
The Ancestor Guarding Bloodsucker Prince he mentioned was said to be a kind of extremely powerful
Bloodsucker Prince who always accompanied the Bloodsucker Ancestor. He was comparable to a
Defiant Bloodsucker Prince.
Elgin's body convulsed. His bloodshot eyes stared at Carthy. Obviously, he didn't believe what Carthy
had just said. 'You've got to be kidding me. An Ancestor Guarding Bloodsucker Prince will never submit
to a human,' he thought inwardly.
Carthy knew that Elgin didn't believe him, so he said, "I know that you don't believe me. But if I were
you, I would think about it carefully. If my father hasn't surrendered, how could my master have the
blood poison to torture you? Stop resisting and just give in. Do you know that human beings have a
saying, 'A living dog is better than a dead lion?' I think it makes sense.
Life is the most precious thing in this world. I know that you also cherish your life like my father. Well,
that's all I want to say. Just remember that if you don't surrender, my master will definitely kill you." After
he spoke, Carthy then turned around and left.
Elgin tossed and turned on the ground painfully. His heart was bleeding.
He thought that it was too humiliating for a Bloodsucker Prince like him to submit to a human Defiant
Master. But what Carthy said just now was right. What else could be more important than life?
Two hours later, Elgin finally made up his mind. He chose to live.
"I...surrender.
I, Prince Elgin, swear to my soul that I will believe in the Conflicting Chief God for the rest of my life..."
he vowed immediately.
All of a sudden, a stream of black god's power surged out of the dark void in Darren's mind and finally
compressed in his elixir field.
His black god's power had grown much stronger now.
Afterward, he took some of Joris' blood and asked his men to break Elgin into pieces. With the
manipulation of the Rule Soul Avatar, Elgin was brought back to life. The blood poison and itchy poison
in his body were all removed.
Before Elgin could regain his strength as a Bloodsucker Prince, Darren took him into his small world.
Otherwise, Elgin would incur the sword array again.
Since the problem with Elgin was already resolved, they all rested for a few days. During those days,
the Rule Soul Avatar had never stopped looking for Yolanda's aura.
Finally, his hard work paid off. Because of his great Spirit Power, he finally broke through the layers of
space and captured a unique aura of life.
Whoosh!
His silvery eyes flashed as he saw a scene.
He saw a purple ridge. In the middle of the ridge, a human woman was covered in blood. There were
dozens of metal creatures surrounding her. In an instant, the metal creatures rushed forward and tore Content provided by .
the human woman apart.
But a few moments later, the human woman condensed her body and came back to life.
It happened again and again until the human woman felt extreme pain and gradually became weaker
and weaker.
Without wasting any time, the Rule Soul Avatar sent the images directly into Darren's mind.
"Aunt Yolanda!" Darren exclaimed.
His heart sank upon seeing Yolanda struggled between life and death.
The Rule Soul Avatar analyzed more and found out that Yolanda was in the Second Dangerous Area.
He immediately informed Darren about it.
"Open the blood pass for me,"
Darren ordered the bloodsuckers.
"Yes, sir." All of them flew around the blood pass.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Thousands of bloodsuckers, who were eager for blood, sucked greedily.
Countless wisps of blood vitality spread out of the blood pass and flew into the mouths of the
bloodsuckers.
All of a sudden, the members of the bloodsucker race were all in extreme pain. They didn't feel
comfortable when the blood vitality entered their bodies.
"Xavier, help them," Darren said to the Rule Soul Avatar.
The Rule Soul Avatar nodded and used powerful law means to weaken the malicious aura in the blood
vitality.
But a few days later, already ninety percent of the bloodsuckers that Darren had subdued died as their
bodies exploded. The Rule Soul Avatar couldn't cure them.
On the bright side, the blood pass had been weakened a lot. It was already enough for Darren and his
companions to pass through.
"Ha-ha! Thank you for opening the blood pass for me." In an instant, wild laughter filled the
underground space.
