CHAPTER 480 PLANNED FOR A SNEAK ATTACK

"Have I been discovered?" Darren's heart was beating fast. He then quickly employed the Air-

integrated True Rule and integrated into the air.

"What's wrong, Louis?"

"I'm not quite sure... I sensed someone was here for a second. I might be wrong..." The grand elder

trailed off as he dragged his gaze around.

Darren's chest suddenly felt lighter as he breathed a sigh of relief. He surmised that the Spirit Power of

the grand elders was at least at the twenty-sixth level, which was why one of them almost found him.

Thankfully, they were no longer able to sense him after he used the prototype of true rule.

"The invisible cloak is not reliable on its own. They definitely would have caught me if it weren't for the

Air-integrated True Rule."

Darren was able to tell from the grand elders' auras that their rule power was much more powerful than

that of the other five elders'. If he were to be caught, he would not have any chance of surviving.

"Hmm... I don't know why, but I've been feeling somewhat unsettled recently."

"Louis, don't worry about it. Let's start now."

Another grand elder then waved his hand and the door sealed by the rule power opened.

"This is my chance!" Darren's eyes flashed in delight. He quickly fluttered inside and followed them.

Once Darren entered the room, he immediately got a whiff of the strong coppery scent of blood

permeating in the air inside the room. The scent seeped into his nose as he was still integrated into the

air.

"Agh! So many corpses!" Darren exclaimed, eyes wide in shock.

There were over one hundred corpses and over one hundred live people who were hanging in iron

chains in this backroom.

"Several more people with the Primitive Feminine Bloodline have died. I'm not quite sure whether the

rest of them would be enough for us to cultivate the Primitive Feminine True Rule," one of the grand

elders said, sighing as he looked at the corpses on the ground.

"Oliver will finish his closed-door training soon. If we did not grasp the true rule, it would be impossible

for us to usurp him from his position. As a matter of fact, he would probably go and kill us first before

we even have the chance to seize him."

"Alas! We have not detained enough people with Primitive Feminine Bloodline. Oliver has a lot more of

them than we do. Even if we grasped the true rule, we could not defeat him."

Darren's heart almost leaped out of his chest as he heard the grand elders' conversation. All the people

that the grand elders secretly kept inside the room were from the Primitive Feminine Bloodline Clan. As

such, it was highly likely that his sister was in this very room.

Darren then flew over in a hurry. He checked the corpses one by one, then examined people who were

hanging. He did not find his sister, making him slightly relieved.

However, those people died due to excessive loss of blood. So even though his sister was not there,

she might still be in danger!

Darren grew worried at the thought of his sister being in danger.

"Brother, how about we just take the female with the purest Primitive Feminine Bloodline and kill her to

extract the bloodline from her soul before Oliver finishes his closed-door training?" another grand elder

suggested.

"I have thought about that, but we can't open the dungeon with only one key."

"Humph. There are ten more days before Oliver completes his closed-door training. Why don't we just

kill Carey and Arnold to obtain the other two keys? After grasping the true rule, we can destroy the

forbidden area, thus trapping Oliver in there forever."

Darren's eyebrows furrowed together in disconcertment as he realized that these grand-elders' minds

were really set on a rebellion.

However, Darren was more concerned with the female they had been talking about. He guessed it

might be Belle!

Darren wanted to hear more of the grand elders' conversation, but he could not keep integrating into

the air for long; he ran the risk of exposing himself as time went by.

"Shit! My air-integration is wearing off!" Darren was growing more and more worried—he would be

completely exposed in a matter of a few minutes!

There was little time left and Darren did not have a clue as to where the key was. The key must be

hidden by some kind of tricks and illusions.

Darren flew out of the room at a fast rate—he could not stay there anymore.

"Eh? Why did I feel a breeze?"

While Darren was leaving, one of the grand elders suddenly noticed something unusual.

"Louis! What's wrong with you today? Don't be too worried! Even if Oliver finished his closed-door

training, he might not be able to kill us all."

"Yeah, you're probably right."

Darren flew out of the Underground Palace at full speed. Once he made it outside, he put on the

invisible cloak back. In that way, apart from the three grand elders, the rule cultivators that guarded the

place would not be able to notice his presence.

Darren stayed there quietly. It would take about ten hours before he could use the Air-integrated True

Rule once again.

"Water Kylin?"

Darren tried to communicate with the Ancient Void Battlefield while waiting.

"No response?"

After the five elders died on that day, Darren noticed he could slightly sense the Ancient Void Battlefield

that had been sealed. However, he still could not completely control it.

"My Spirit Power is very strong at this stage, so maybe I can unseal the Ancient Void Battlefield

myself."

Darren found a relatively empty place and utilized his Spirit Power to strike at the seal. He tried to

manipulate the force of control, which he had slightly recovered a little of, to command the power within

the Ancient Void Battlefield to break the seal.

About a couple of hours later, the seal was finally removed.

"Water Kylin? Are you there?" Darren immediately contacted the Ancient Void Battlefield, whispering to

it through his spiritual sense.

"Master! Where have you been these days? Why have you been so quiet?" the Water Kylin also

whispered back through his spiritual sense.

"Something came up. I will explain it to you later. I'm currently in a bit of a situation here. I may need

you to come out of the Ancient Void Battlefield to help me deal with the trouble," Darren said.

"What kind of trouble? Once I get out of here, I will kill them all with my claws!" The Water Kylin was

oozing with bold arrogance.

"Shut up! The people you'll be facing are extremely powerful rule cultivators. Their skills may possibly

be enough to kill you. I just need you to use your most powerful attacks to draw their attention. Once

you've done that, I'll drag them into the Ancient Void Battlefield and let Finley deal with them," Darren

gruffly explained.

Because he could be completely invisible, Darren was confident that he could use the Ancient Void

Battlefield. He planned to let the Water Kylin attack before he used the Ancient Void Battlefield, so the

rule cultivators would not have enough time to seal it.

"Fine, you're the boss," the Water Kylin replied.

Eight hours passed and Darren could use the Air-integrated True Rule again. He headed back to the

Underground Palace.

This time, aside from stealing the key, he also wanted to kill the three powerful rule cultivators.

After entering the backroom, Darren found the grand elders sitting in a small pool of blood with runes

sparkling on their bodies. It was obvious that they were cultivating.

Nevertheless, Darren did not use the Ancient Void Battlefield at once. Because he knew even if a

powerful rule cultivator was cultivating, his Spirit Power was still very sensitive. Darren did not want to

take any risks.

"Get ready to attack them with all your strength!" Darren sent the message to the Water Kylin using his

spiritual sense. Belongs © to .

"Copy that."

Darren then released the Water Kylin.

Boom!

An enormous aura suddenly enveloped the whole room.

The backroom was filled with blue lightning.

The room would have been broken into pieces if it were not guarded by a mighty rule power. If the

Water Kylin had attacked using his full strength, even the space outside would be guaranteed to

collapse.

"Time to die!" The Water Kylin did not think of the three old men as powerful, so he directly attacked

them with his blue lightning and his huge claws.

However, a terrifying black crack suddenly appeared in the backroom, swallowing Water Kylin's

attacks.

"Where did you come from, you monster? How dare you sneak into the backroom and attack us behind

our backs!"

The grand elders, who had been unconscious, were immediately woken up. Their reactions were too

fast—the water Kylin's quiet attacks were immediately blocked by a space crack.

The three grand elders were indeed extremely powerful.
