CHAPTER 468 MEANS TO SAVE HIS LIFE (PART ONE)
The Protection Domain was continually shaking, signifying that the barrier was breached and was
about to knuckle under. The young master of the Red Inferno Sect was green and sweaty in the face
sensing the threat of what was happening. He could feel from the trembling and clashing sound that
those people outside wanted so badly to get in.
"Young master, in case they get in here, I will burst my soul to stall them so you can run away and
escape!" Darren proposed an escape plan, looking at the worried young master. Yet, deep inside him,
he knew that he was not true to his words. He just said those words to show his "loyalty" and to gauge
if the young master trusted him or not.
"Those ungrateful bastards! I knew those old bastards wanted to have my treasures!" the young master
of the Red Inferno Sect cursed. It seemed that he had utterly believed in what Darren had said.
Hearing his words, Darren couldn't help but feel elated, but he just couldn't let this emotion show on his
face. He was more confident of his plan now that the young master entirely relied his trust on him.
"Young master, they are really vicious for doing this. How dare they trespass and interrupt you on your
cultivation. If they hadn't been informed that the master are in closed-door cultivation, they wouldn't
have dared to do such things to you! They planned to launch the attack before the master can come
out of his cultivation. Not only that, but they also planned to kill you and blame your death on Elder
Judah. Elder Judah was so angry and tried to stop them from succeeding in their plans. Unfortunately,
he was already killed by them," with a forlorn look on his face, Darren added. The longer he stayed with
the young master, the more fabricated his stories got. By this time, telling lies came naturally to him, as
if he was born with that talent.
"What? Is that true? Elder Judah is dead?" the young master asked in surprise.
"Yes, he's dead, young master. They tortured Elder Judah and me at first, but he was just so loyal to
you and wouldn't pretend to surrender. Because of that, he was pierced in the heart and died that
moment after. It was Mortimer, his so-called good friend, who killed Elder Judah." With an over-
expressive tone, Darren pretended to be sad about Elder Judah's death.
"Damn it! Fuck! How dare he do that to Elder Judah?" At the thought of such ruthless action by
Mortimer, the young master of the Red Inferno Sect was just so furious that his rule power began to
rile. Anger and thirst for killing were burning in his eyes.
"Young master, what should we do now? I am afraid that those old bastards will burn their souls to
open the Protection Domain. I am severely wounded, and I am not sure if I can resist them even if I
burst my soul,"
Darren said in a slow and dramatic tone while observing the young master the whole time. He wanted
to know what was on the young master's mind and what would he do about the situation.
Silently thinking for a short while, the expression on the young master's face darkened even more.
Thoughts and plans were battling in his head; the young master was in a dilemma and was thinking
very hard to figure out the circumstances.
"Kaleb, you are this loyal to me, and I will always remember that. After I kill those bastards, I will
consider you as my brother. But for now, I need your help," the young master calmed down and said to
Darren in a gentle, friendly, and pleading tone. He was rarely this gentle towards his subordinates—
especially now that he was asking a favor. He had to swallow his pride like a bitter gourd.
"I'll risk my life to protect you, young master!" Darren promised in a firm tone as if he was really
committed, pretending that the young master's words deeply touched him.
"All right. I have two plans right now. Listen carefully.
First, I have some means of protection and attack left. Even if they get in here, they will all die except
those old bastards.
Second, I will teach those attacks to you so you can buy me some time until I successfully break
through. Once I break through, I can inherit an inferior true rule that will be enough to kill those old
bastards. However, you will suffer a little to use those attacks to guard me, Kaleb."
Hearing out the young master's orders, Darren secretly felt surprised and thrilled as if he was in the
seventh heaven.
Everything was working according to his plan. He had expected that the young master of the Red
Inferno Sect had some powerful ways to protect himself that others didn't know about.
He was this polite to Darren right now only because he needed Darren's help to get through such a
complicated situation. He was a leader for God's sake, and it was an idiomatic method to say lovely
things to his subordinates when he needed them. Yet, this time, being caught in between, and given no
other options, the young master treated Darren nicely. One of the reasons was because he was afraid
that Darren would also attack him while he was in the pool breaking through.
Before Darren could answer, the young master added, "Kaleb, if things come to worst and you can't
resist their attack, just jump in the Soul-refining Pool, absorb all the Spirit Power and inherit the true
rule to kill them!"
Sensing the worry on the panic-stricken face of the young master, Darren couldn't help but laugh coldly
in his heart. The young master was paranoid at this moment. He was testing Darren's loyalty even at
this urgent time!
"No! I will never do that! I'd rather die protecting you than inheriting the true rule myself, young master!"
with his shoulders perplexed in a confident stance, Darren refused in a firm tone. A stern look was cast
on his face.
"Good! You are truly loyal to me!" The young master of the Red Inferno Sect smiled and patted Darren
on the shoulder. He was now convinced that he had Darren under his command, and the young man
was willing to lay his life for him.
As a show of appreciating his loyalty, the young master gave four things to Darren for him to use. After
this, he made himself ready to get in the pool to break through.
"Kaleb, you are wounded, absorb the Spirit Power that would flow out of the pool with all your might. It Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
will make you feel better and would help you regain your strength in the fastest time possible."
"I will. Thank you, young master."
This time, the young master of the Red Inferno Sect nodded his head and focused all his attention on
the pool. Moments later, he jumped in the pool and started absorbing the Spirit Power as much as he
could contain.
