CHAPTER 467 THEY WERE ABOUT TO REBEL

"What is a manipulated soldier?"

Some high-ranked rule cultivators present did not know about the manipulated soldiers. And so, they

asked the other elders this question.

"A manipulated soldier is made by cultivators who practice puppet-making. In short, a manipulated

soldier is a killing machine without any emotions or sense of pain," one elder explained.

"That guy is powerful. Do you think that the manipulated soldiers can defeat him?" someone asked.

"Humph! He is an unknown low-level rule cultivator and a martial artist with power similar to a one-star

grand warrior. How can he defeat the manipulated soldiers?

A manipulated soldier doesn't have a soul. Even if he has the rule power blockade, he cannot weaken

the attack of the manipulated soldiers. Besides, the manipulated soldiers are really powerful. Each of

the manipulated soldiers I have put in the pool is as powerful as the top level of a two-star grand

warrior. Escaping to the Protection Domain is a terrible idea. He is as good as dead," said Elder

Quentin, the most powerful elder. He was brimming with confidence.

After he finished his explanation, he silently started to heal the injuries to his soul.

After Darren broke into the Protection Domain, he walked to the side of the deep green pool. Gusts of

Spirit Power started to rise as he neared.

Darren began to feel terrible as several poisons were coursing through him. He stood beside the pool

long enough to check the middle for signs of the young master.

"What? The young master is not in the pool?"

After detecting the pool, Darren did not feel safe. Suddenly, some chilling auras surrounded him.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Four bodies that seemed to be made of metal appeared beside Darren.

"What are these? Their killing intent is so strong!"

Darren was shocked. He looked at the four bodies carefully as he probed them. He sensed no life

auras coming from them. But, they emitted another aura that was cold and powerful.

"The one who breaches the Protection Domain must die!" An emotionless voice broke the silence as it

announced Darren's death sentence.

The four bodies summoned their weapons and attacked Darren in unison.

Darren was about to avoid their attack by using the Hurricane Teleportation Skill, but a shield with rule

power suddenly appeared and blocked him.

"How did you come in here?" a voice questioned.

Darren raised his eyes to find that the young master was staring at him coldly.

"Young master!" Without any hesitation, Darren fell to his knees.

Darren could sense that the young master of the Red Inferno Sect hadn't weakened since entering the

Protection Domain. That meant that he hadn't started to break through yet.

What had he been waiting for? Darren guessed the answer.

Now, Darren still had the same aura and appearance as Kaleb. With his power, it was impossible for

him to defeat the four cold soldiers. Not to mention, the young master of the Red Inferno Sect was still

as strong as before.

"Young master, are you all right? Those damned bad guys! They are trying to kill you. I hate myself for

being too weak to protect you, young master!" Darren pretended to be sad and sighed.

Hearing Darren's explanation, the young master of the Red Inferno Sect paled. At that moment, the

four manipulated soldiers launched another attack on Darren. It seemed as though the previous block

had worn off.

Darren, however, stood quickly and acted to protect the young master of the Red Inferno Sect by

standing in front of him. He said, "Young master, you need to find a way to leave this place. Those old

bad guys have made all the necessary arrangements to kill you today. I will protect you until I die!" This belongs to - ©.

At that moment, the manipulated soldiers' attack reached Darren. He pretended to stagger while

fighting back. As planned, one of the manipulated soldiers' attacks landed on the young master of the

Red Inferno Sect.

"Damn! I should have guessed that they would try something like this!"

The young master was so angry that he quivered all over. He started to fight the manipulated soldiers

with his powerful skills, trying to suppress them.

But the manipulated soldiers were soulless. The rule formulas that the young master had learned were

almost useless. Only his shackling and defending skills worked.

"Humph!" the young muster sneered. Then a jade bottle appeared in his hand. With his powerful Spirit

Power, he opened the jade bottle.

A figure of a golden-armored martial artist roared and rushed out. His aura was as powerful as that of a

three-star grand warrior.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the command of the young master's Spirit Power, the golden-armored martial artist attacked

each of the manipulated soldiers. He moved so quickly that he looked like a flashing shadow. In a few

seconds, the golden-armored martial artist had beaten the manipulated soldiers' bodies into the

ground. The golden-armored martial artist did not slow down. Instead, he continued to punch the

manipulated soldiers until they broke into countless pieces of metal. Then, the golden-armored martial

artist returned to the jade bottle.

"Tell me. What is going on? Who wants to rebel?" the young master of the Red Inferno Sect asked. His

voice and facial expression conveyed the fury he was feeling.

"Young master, it is the five elders. No, to be more exact, all of them want to rebel. The ones who came

to guard you, young master, were working under the orders of the five elders. They want to kill you too,

young master," Darren said. He trembled as he spoke to show that he was terrified.

"Nonsense! How dare they betray me, their young master?" the young master bellowed.

Hearing his question, Darren's heart jumped with joy. He was no longer worried about himself as he

concluded that the young master had a very suspicious nature. Even without any proof, he had

believed Darren over the group of elders that had sworn to protect him.

How could Darren have known about the young master's nature?

Before the pool was sequestered, the young master had repeatedly asked what the elders intended to

do if someone entered the Protection Domain. His anxiety stemmed from his concern that he would be

weak and vulnerable during the breakthrough process in the Protection Domain. Thus, if someone

broke in, the young master wouldn't be able to protect himself. The young master felt reassured only

after the elders informed him that they could open the Protection Domain by burning their souls. Of

course, this showed that the young master was a skeptical and suspicious person.

Moreover, the Red Inferno Sect's young master should have started cultivating after entering the

Protection Domain. However, he did not enter the pool. Darren was sure that he was waiting to see if

someone would take action to hurt him.

"I dare not lie! They arranged for an opportunity to open the Protection Domain so that they could

secretly enter and kill you, young master. But they did not think that I would learn of their secret. They

tortured me by forcing poisons into my body. They threatened to kill me if I did not join them. I agreed

so that they would be less vigilant around me. The moment they opened the Protection Domain, I

fought them and rushed in to tell you the truth," Darren said. His voice was laced with grief and

resentment.

"Humph! Even if you are telling the truth about the elders wanting to kill their young master, how could

they have only one chance to open the Protection Domain?"

"Those rebels fear the power of your Spirit Power, young master. They were afraid that you would

discover their plan. So they only made room for a tiny little flaw in the Protection Domain. They

arranged for those soulless soldiers that attacked us previously, young master. I heard their discussion,

which is why I know that this was their back-up plan. They were a hundred percent certain that they

would be able to kill you when you are weak!" Darren continued to portray the elders as disloyal,

calculating rebels.

Boom!

At that moment, the Protection Domain seemed to quiver a little bit. Obviously, someone was attacking

it from outside.

Sensing the attack, the Red Inferno Sect's young master began to believe Darren's story. His face

reddened as anger coursed through him.

Outside the Protection Domain, the most powerful elder's body began to ooze blood when the

manipulated soldiers were smashed to pieces. Although the four manipulated soldiers were gifts from

one of his friends, he had connected them with his Spirit Power. So, he was severely hurt when the

manipulated soldiers were destroyed.

"This is not good. That guy killed the manipulated soldiers! Our young master is in danger!" the most

powerful elder said, regardless of his pain.

They had not even considered the possibility that their young master had crushed the manipulated

soldiers, not Darren!

The destruction of the four manipulated soldiers disturbed all the rule cultivators. A sense of foreboding

filled them as they thought of the consequences! Now that the manipulated soldiers sent to protect the

young master had been annihilated, their young master was in great danger. If he died, they would

probably be severely punished by the sect leader.

The only thing they could do was to rush in by force and save their young master.

The five elders knew that they would die if they burned their souls to open the Protection Domain. Of

course, they were unwilling to do that before they tried other ways to open the Protection Domain.

Plus, they also suspected that the imposter might have other powerful trump cards since he had

defeated the four manipulated soldiers. If the five elders burned their souls and died after that, weaker

cultivators could not possibly save the young master.

The best way for them to open the Protection Domain was to use the combined power of all the

cultivators!

But they never thought that their behavior would reinforce Darren's lies, and compel the young master

to think it was the truth!
