CHAPTER 474 PROTOTYPE OF THE TRUE RULE (PART ONE)

"What have you got up your sleeves? You damn old bastards! Do you think I'm an idiot?" Carey yelled

at the two elders with his previously calm face now turned beastly and ferocious.

Obviously, Carey believed Darren's words over the elders'. 'Is that the consequence of being an active

servant?' Darren thought. He had been helping and backing up Carey all this time, and he was driven

by one purpose why he was such a loyal aid to him—that was to win Carey's undivided trust.

By this time, Darren was convinced that he had succeeded in doing that, for Carey had given him a

hefty sum of life-protecting skills. It was the best proof that Carey had begun trusting Darren. 'While I

was engaged in breaking through to a higher Spirit Power level, Kaleb didn't attack me. He didn't even

do anything harmful to me. If he wanted to kill me in the first place, he would have seized the

opportunity. Even though I have the life-protecting skills to save my life, my breakthrough would

certainly be disrupted, ' Carey figured in his mind.

Given this consideration, he realized that he should put his trust on Kaleb rather than the elders of his

sect.

From his nature, Carey was a man who was very suspicious but not that smart. Thus, he readily

believed Darren's words without having second thoughts at all. In his eyes, Kaleb had proved himself to

be loyal all this time.

Right now, he grew impatient, listening to the explanation of the two elders. He didn't want to hear any

word from them because Darren had brainwashed his mind that the elders were just fabricating lies to

inflict harm on him and wished him to be doomed and ill-fated.

"Go to hell, you old dogs!"

Cursing and shouting at the elders as if they were his mortal enemies, Carey started his attack towards

the helpless elders.

In an instant, after conjuring his attack, numerous withered hands appeared out of nowhere and

grabbed the two elders from all directions. The assault was the basic true rule that Carey had mastered

from his recent breakthrough.

"Young Master, you must have misinterpreted us. Please don't kill us!" The two elders begged for their

lives miserably. Fear and panic were visible on both their wrinkled faces as they sensed death looming

around.

All this time, they had never imagined that welcoming their young master from his breakthrough would

solicit them the deadliest attack.

Yet, before they figured out what was going on, and before they could beg further, the withered hands

have torn them to pieces. Shreds of skin, bare bones, and a pool of blood paved the ground, such a

horrible fate for the two elders of the Red Inferno Sect.

"My new cultivation skill is really awesome. It is called the Void Ghost Hands, have you ever heard of

it? Even for superior cultivators stronger than the two old bastards, I can kill them in no time." While

saying that, his eyes glowed with excitement.

Carey was delighted with the power of his basic true rule, the one that he had just acquired from his

cultivation.

"But, before anything else, you have done a good job protecting me, Kaleb. I will reward you well. You

can take whatever you want from the goods scattered on the ground here. It's all yours," motioning to

Darren, Carey said with a haughty tone. Apparently, he regarded himself as Darren's young master—

superior, demanding, and with some air of authority. Belongs © to .

Sensing the boastful pride and overflowing confidence on what Carey said, Darren sneered secretly

and thought, 'This guy was amiable when he was in danger. But now that the danger has gone, he's

talking to me like he had some command over me.'

However, Darren didn't mind that. What mattered to him right now was the pleasure that other people's

hands killed a number of cultivators of the Red Inferno Sect—he was saved from doing the killings

himself.

Aside from that, what was more rewarding to him was that he could take possession of the treasures

that the rule cultivators left as they died. It was also a good harvest to him, like hitting two birds with

one stone.

Feeling like he was on cloud nine after possessing such potent skills, Carey left after he expressed his

arrogant gratitude to Darren.

Being left alone this time, Darren had searched the battlefield carefully and collect all the useful things

and stored them on his Space Ring.

While he was busy in collecting the items, his mind was also busy thinking about something. Then out

of the blue, he recalled the details of what had just happened. As if a bell rang on the back of his mind,

Darren suddenly remembered something.

'Where is he, the man who opened up the Defense Array? He is much stronger than the rule cultivators

that were killed.'

Held awestruck, Darren was surprised by his thought. He recalled again and again but did not know

where the powerful man had gone. He just disappeared out of the blue after the Defense Array was

broken.

Consequently, because of this sudden discovery and realization, Darren's joy was replaced by worry

and endless questions. He wouldn't stop until he got the answers to his questions. Thus, he couldn't

stop his mind from overthinking about that mysterious man.

'It seems that things are not settled perfectly, and there is something wrong. There are still hidden

dangers, and I have to be careful.' The young martial artist's brows furrowed into a scowl by the

thought.

The mysterious man scared him and made him more vigilant. Thus, as a precautionary measure, he

released his Spirit Power to search the surrounding areas carefully to find any traces of the strong

disappeared man.

"Then there it is the aura of that strong rule cultivator. I must be familiar with it," Darren said to himself.

After a lengthy search, Darren finally traced a faint aura of the powerful rule cultivator that remained in

the air. He etched it in his mind to be more cautious in case their paths crossed in the future.

After doing that, Darren returned to Kaleb's residence and began to plot ways about how to get news

about his sister.

The Red Inferno Sect remained peaceful for several days after the chaotic events as if nothing

happened at all. People went on living their normal lives, and not a single hint of tension was in the air

—everything was calm and quiet.

To be prudent and act normally, Darren also stayed at Kaleb's room quietly. He didn't want to raise any

suspicions if he would go around roaming in the place.

The dominant figures of the Red Inferno Sect were absolutely not only those who had been killed at the

incident that happened several days ago. Of course, there must be many great masters still in the sect.

So Darren had better not set himself on fire.
