CHAPTER 500 LAWRENCE'S SACRIFICE (PART TWO)
"Well then, let's wait and see. I don't care whether you are still in prison or not. I just want to cut your
head off and take your life to avenge Lawrence's honor. I'll pledge my word that I will do that in twenty
years."
After saying those words, Darren turned around and left without even looking back. With quick steps,
Horace and Rocky caught up with Darren, who was walking with gigantic leaps.
"Soul attack!" As he heard the group's fading footsteps, Eddy summoned an attack. He was outraged
after he listened to the words uttered by Darren. Thus the soul attack was released intending to kill him.
However, inclusive of the Imprisonment Rule, the prison cell could shackle anything, including the soul
attack that Eddy released. He failed again this time, and it crossed him even more.
Soon enough, as the light of day grew apparent, Darren's figure appeared in the outside world. The
warmth of the sunshine and the refreshing breeze that kissed his face resembled a renewed hope to
Darren. With all those dear to him that had been lost battle after battle, Darren was thankful that he was
still alive and would live to give them honor and justice.
Lifting his head to enjoy the view, Darren stared at the white clouds floating leisurely in the sky, with
mixed feelings in his heart.
"Master, what should we do next?" with a solemn voice, Horace asked as he appeared behind Darren.
"What do you mean?" The question made by Horace made Darren furrow his brows. He was confused
as an aftermath of everything that had happened.
"Master, as you can see, Oliver has died, and Eddy was imprisoned. Everything had been sorted
temporarily, at least. That's indeed great for us. But, there are so many disciples from the Red Inferno
Sect and the evil hunters from the Soul Hunter Sect. How do we deal with them?"
With Horace's explanation, the cloud on Darren's mind was slightly cleared off. He soon realized that it
was indeed an important thing that Horace just put forward.
"I want to request that you two deal with these things. How about that? Disciples from the Red Inferno
Sect shall be deprived of using the rule power. Build some new towns among the huge mountains and
make them live there for the rest of their lives. As for the evil cultivators from the Soul Hunter Sect,
once you find them, you two just kill them right away. What do you think about that?" Darren wanted to
hear Horace's opinions about the matter.
"Yes, all things will be done as you have said, master." With their hands cupped and bowing low at
Darren, Horace and Rocky answered reverently.
"Master, there is another important matter you need to know." Rocky, who had always been careful and
silent, reckoned towards Darren.
"You can just call me Darren. That would be fine with me. Moreover, you can be open with me and tell
me anything that is confusing you," Darren verbalized gently, sounding friendly towards Horace and
Rocky.
In the dungeon, on his quest to save his sister, the three grand-elders functioned very loyal and faithful
to Darren. Even Louis had sacrificed his life for loyalty. Therefore, no matter what these three elders
had done in the past, on this point, for Darren, it was worth treating them kindly and generously for their
behaviors of faithfulness.
"Err... Then master... Then, Darren, everything will be done as you said," responded Horace, who was
hesitant at first.
"Darren, you might know that the border mutants are scattered across the land and dwell across the
east, west, north and south sides," emphasized Rocky with a solemn tone.
When Rocky mentioned the situation of the border mutants, fear and desolation seemed to have
enveloped Horace's entire being. His face turned pale with concern.
"I am aware of that." Darren nodded in confirmation. He knew very well the threats posed by the border
mutants.
"The border mutants are countless in numbers across the four sides of the land. On each side, some
powerful mutants are among them. In each mutant race, there are even some individuals with
commendable and dominating strengths. These select individuals are almost as active as a five-star
grand warrior. Moreover, all those mutants from the four sides perceive human beings with intense
hostility. The moment a human trespasses or intrudes through their territory, their lives will not be
spared.
In the past, the border mutants plotted rebellious action, but all of them were put down by our master
warriors. Some of the rebelling mutants were even fixed and treated by our law enforcers. But the law
enforcers are not allowed to kill the border mutants at will. That is in accordance with an agreement
with the Medium Spiritual World. They can only drive the border mutants into the boundaries of specific
areas.
However, Eddy, the bastard has upgraded the Bottom Spiritual World and sealed the space passage to
the Medium Spiritual World, I'm afraid that the border mutants will notice the change sooner or later.
Once they saw the difference, they might seize the chance to revolt again. If that happened, the Bottom
Spiritual World would be in dire danger,"
filled with concern, Rocky relayed to Darren everything on his mind. He was always a thoughtful and
prudent man, and Darren appreciated his thoughtfulness in filling him in with things that he was not
aware of.
"I agree with Rocky. This is indeed a crucial matter. We should pay close attention to it. At the Bottom
Spiritual World, only grand warriors below four stars are allowed to dwell in by human beings. But the
border mutants are different. Their leaders are as mighty as five-star grand warriors. Once they hear
the news that the space passage has been sealed, they will spontaneously take the chance to start an
uprising," added Horace, who was shaken at the thought of the border mutants' revolt.
After hearing all of these worrying problems from both Rocky and Horace, Darren frowned. He felt that
the situation was even way more complicated than he had anticipated.
The space was extremely stable because of the upgrade of the Bottom Spiritual World. Those mutants
at the level of four-star or five-star grand warriors could exert their strength more fully now that the
space was stable. The moment the border mutants started to revolt, human beings at the Bottom
Spiritual World would be exterminated in all probability.
"Oh, my god! Things are getting horrible." As he let out his frustrations, Darren took a deep breath. He
didn't know how to deal with such a complicated puzzle.
In the first place, all that Darren wanted was just to save his sister. He didn't expect that he would be
mixed up with a much bigger tangled web.
"Sirs, in your opinion, how soon can the border mutants notice that the space passage has been
sealed?" out of his curiosity, Darren asked.
"Eddy had used the World Upgrade; thus, any knowledgeable master warrior might discern this matter
as soon as possible. Among the border mutants, those priests and rule cultivators can undoubtedly Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
sense the alterations made at the Bottom Spiritual World. But, I guess, it will take three years at least
for them to notice that the space passage has been sealed," Horace said, giving Darren an
approximate time frame based on his knowledge of the border mutants.
"Well, if that were true, three years would be enough for me. I will focus on my cultivation, and by that
time, I can reach the stage that can kill a five-star grand warrior. Besides, I will deal with the
consequences by myself," confident with himself, Darren said in a calm voice. In his mind, he had a
vision of himself with an increased level, and on his feet laid bodies of fallen border mutants.
