CHAPTER 465 EXPOSE DARREN'S IDENTITY

"Be quiet!"

the elder with the strongest aura yelled. He had been sitting cross-legged alongside the others.

"Elder Quentin, I doubt the man's identity. I asked Mortimer to check him, but the man is resisting!"

Judah explained as he stepped forward.

Elder Quentin was startled by the allegations. He glanced at Darren before releasing his strong Spirit

Power to examine Darren's soul.

Checking a person's soul was different from attacking his soul. Thus, the strange stone in Darren's

head wouldn't strike back. This belongs to - ©.

After only one scan, sweat trickled down Darren's forehead. The force was so intense that he almost

fell to his knees.

"I didn't find anything abnormal. Don't cause trouble while the young master is cultivating," Elder

Quentin concluded after checking Darren's soul. He had complete faith in his Spirit Power.

"But the man killed Bradley. When I probed Bradley's body, I sensed an aura of sword intent. I believe

that he is a spy!"

Although most of the disciples of the Red Inferno Sect were rule cultivators, they also had powerful

martial artists to guard the sect. There were a few swordsmen among them. However, since Kaleb had

entered rule cultivation in his childhood, he showed no talents as a martial artist. He couldn't release

sword intent. Considering this, the situation was worth investigating.

Besides, Judah had always been suspicious of Darren. With that, he became more insistent that

Darren should be checked.

"What do you mean?" the powerful elder named Quentin asked. Judah's explanation had confused

him. He was also annoyed as he didn't care much about this internal bickering. What really mattered to

him now was the young master's breakthrough. If the young master succeeded, then Elder Quentin

would earn appreciation and rewards.

"This..." Judah was stunned speechless. Then he communicated with Mortimer using his spiritual

sense. "Mortimer, check him. It would help if we could show that Kaleb is a spy."

"But if we cannot prove your suspicions, then Elder Quentin will believe that we are deliberately making

trouble!" Mortimer hesitated.

"You don't care that we have a spy amongst us? Why don't you believe me? You are driving me mad!"

Judah's voice was laced with fury.

"Well. Alas!" Mortimer agreed. As they were good friends, Mortimer couldn't defy Judah, or he would

risk offending his friend.

With no other alternatives, Mortimer summoned his Spirit Power in his eyes as he activated the

Supreme Vision Rule. Then, he glared at Darren.

Whistle!

Mortimer was hurt by a spiritual attack from Darren.

"Why do you insist on checking on me? What do you mean by this? I have assisted the young master

for so many years. Now that he is cultivating in the poor, you intend to get rid of me. Huh? Are you

going to rise in rebellion?"

Darren bellowed. His expression reflected the indignation and anger that he felt at the intrusion.

Although the spiritual attack he had released wasn't very strong, it was powerful enough to have an

impact on Mortimer. If he didn't defend against the attack, Mortimer would risk injury to his soul.

Darren's shouting and the spiritual attack forced Mortimer to stop. At this point, many powerful rule

cultivators noticed the dispute between the four men. They furrowed their eyebrows as they shifted

their focus to Darren and the other three quarreling men.

"What are you doing? Who permitted this man to enter? Very soon, the Spirit Power will be released

from the inside. If you disturb us again, the repercussions will be dreadful! You'd better leave now!"

"How dare you seek favor when the young master is unavailable due to his cultivation? Don't do all this

here. You bastards, don't disturb me!"

Several powerful rule cultivators growled at Judah and Kaleb. This disregard for Judah's and Kaleb's

close relationship with the young master was embarrassing for both men.

Sure enough, except for the five elders present, Judah showed no fear of the other overmatches. After

all, he was also an overmatch himself.

"Mortimer, check him! If nothing is wrong, I will admit my error and ask for punishment before the young

master!" Judah roared. Enraged by the rule cultivators' threats, his eyes widened.

"Okay. I trust you. At worst, I will be scolded by the young master. Humph!" Mortimer declared. Hearing

the rule cultivators' impertinent remarks toward his friend, he also became furious. Despite the threats,

he released his Spiritual Power to scan Darren with.

Darren frowned and released another spiritual attack. However, Judah, who stood beside Mortimer,

blocked it.

Darren quivered as his soul had been exposed to Mortimer.

"Got you, you spy! Who are you?"

Mortimer questioned when he saw Darren's real soul, not the one he was disguising himself with.

"What do you mean? Are you trying to frame me?" Darren argued, refusing to admit his real identity.

"Humph. How dare you doubt my abilities? Elders, please take a look," Mortimer said. Then with an

arcane skill, he displayed Darren's soul's shadow in the midair before the crowd.

"Eh?" Seeing Darren's soul's shadow, all the powerful rule cultivators released their auras.

"As suspected, he is an intruder!"

"Elder Judah, forgive us for offending you just now." The powerful rule cultivators were startled.

Judah complacently stared at Darren. He had suspected that Kaleb had defected to the Soul Hunter

Sect. He had never thought that the man was not Kaleb at all, but an intruder.

"You bastard, show me your real appearance! You even dared to comprehend the rule formula of the

Illusion Rule. What's your purpose for sneaking into our sect?" Judah thundered.

Instantly, five elders flashed over and surrounded Darren.

Darren was nervous, for he had never thought that he would be seen through so easily. Surrounded by

the overmatches, he had no escape route!

"Humph. Did you think you could trick me?" Judah snorted coldly as if he had earned great credit.

"Judah, you are so wise to catch a spy. The young master will surely reward you when he finds out,"

Mortimer smiled.

Judah felt quite self-satisfied since he had caught the spy, especially after Elder Quentin had claimed

that there was nothing abnormal about Darren.

Darren stood quietly as some rule power restricted him. At the moment, he was like meat on their

chopping block. There was nothing left to do but allow them to trample on him.

However, he would not die without putting up a fight. It was impossible for Darren to give up so quickly.

"Are you going to answer our questions or not? Elder Quentin, torture him with the soul afflicting skill!"

Judah commanded with confidence.

Elder Quentin nodded and prepared to torture Darren's soul.

Boom!

A light green soul arrow darted into Darren's mind. It was so forceful that even Darren's dark ring

couldn't resist it.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Two painful screams emerged at the same time. The crowd was taken aback.

While the first came from Darren, the other scream was from Elder Quentin.

What was strange was that Darren could quickly return to normal after the attack. However, the

strongest elder fell and rolled on the ground with his hands laced behind his head. He was

overwhelmed with pain.

As the soul attack was too powerful, the strange stone in Darren's head couldn't resist it entirely. As a

result, his soul was torn, which caused Darren great pain. Equally, the soul arrow that wasn't consumed

by Darren rebounded to the elder. Therefore, he was also in agony.

Thus, Darren realized the limit of the resistance of the strange stone in his mind. He now knew that if

the soul attack were stronger than the elder's, his soul would be severely injured.

"Kill him!" Elder Quentin ordered as he clenched his teeth in bitter hatred.

Meanwhile, the rest of the elders used their arcane skills to cure him.

After hearing the command, the powerful rule cultivators ran toward Darren.

Over a hundred rule cultivators had been summoned to guard the young master. From among them,

some were powerful enough to kill three-star grand warriors. Moreover, the elders' rule power could

slaughter three-star grand warriors at the top level.

Boom!

Blade and sword intent exploded around Darren. He wouldn't await his death without putting up a fight!
