CHAPTER 623 PROVOCATION

A wave of murderous intent shot at both Darren and Isaac like a storm.

"You're right. We have no choice but to fight!"

Seeing the murderous intent, there was no choice for both of them but to fight. His remained Fringe

Holy Will was burned with every second that passed by.

"How about letting you, the Crimson Sea Sect, finish them off?"

Ryan stood with his arms crossed as if enjoying the show.

The masked young men from the Crimson Sea Sect looked stunned for a moment. They

communicated with each other with their spiritual senses. "Brother, this guy's bone age appears to be

less than thirty. He is like no other we've ever met before. Even though he's so young, yet his

cultivation base is so strong. He must have someone powerful in his corner. This makes me believe

that there must be something fishy about the guy from the Heaven Lake Sect for making us take action

against him," one of them said.

The other young man in the mask thought for a moment then responded, "With the presence of three

forces, and the fact that this guy doesn't have the aura of the other two forces, no one in our world will

be able to protect him. If we kill him, it won't cause us any trouble. Don't let the people from the Heaven

Lake Sect think less of us."

"Wait a minute, brother, there are rumors that the world we live in is just a land for criminals, and there This material belongs to .

are a lot of praise-worthy places right outside of this world. Do you think he is from the legendary

Sacred Palace in the outside world? Only the Sacred Palace would be able to cultivate such a powerful

young man.

Brother, also don't forget that there had once been a Cloud Dragon Sect, whose power was only a little

weaker than the five major forces. However, they killed a top level seven-star grand warrior who was

sent here to receive training by the Sacred Palace. Later, all their members were eradicated by a super

law enforcer sent by the Sacred Palace. Since then, this sect has disappeared from the world."

"You might be right since I also heard this story from the master. I'm afraid there's a backstory to his

abilities. Let's wait and see."

"Yes, let's do that."

After discussing the issue together, the two men from the Crimson Sea Sect decided it was wiser not to

take action right away.

"They're as weak as ants. Do we really need to kill them with our own hands? Aren't your guys from the

Heaven Lake Sect excited about this? In my opinion, none of you would have been able to kill them on

your own. As a matter of fact, they might have just ended you instead." They tried to goad the men

from the Heaven Lake Sect into taking action.

"Well, let me do it then. I can kill both of them all by myself. Let those cowards see who is the strongest

here!" The young man in blue, who was already upset with Darren, rose to their bait wanting to fight.

Ryan shot him a glare the moment he was done talking.

"Ha-ha! You are nothing but a group of cowardly rats. None of you strong enough to take on a young

man and an old guy? If that's so, then where did you find the courage to claim that you are the

strongest sect?"

The people of the Golden Sacred Sect looked at the two forces with mockery. One of them walked

closer, making the first move.

"Young man, I will ask you one last time. Do you accept the invitation or not? If you don't accept it, you

will have to die!" the man told Darren.

Darren was silent.

"None of you five forces have any sense of tact. Do any of you even know how to invite anyone

properly? If they don't agree to follow, you just claim you'll kill them! You are worse than bandits!" Isaac

was angry as he scolded them loudly.

From this turn of events, it became apparent that they had no way of escape. They didn't need to

pretend they were either too deaf or too dumb in order to concede that point.

"Well, it looks like you'll be the first to die, you old geezer!"

The young man from the Golden Sacred Sect raised his hand and waved it. A golden ray of light

spread out of it. Upon closer observation, Darren found that the light was infused with forty percent

Fringe Holy Will.

"Wait!" Darren raised his hand to stop him.

"I'll accept the invitation of your Golden Sacred Sect, but on one condition only."

Much to Isaac's surprise, Darren was willing to accept the invitation.

"Humph, didn't just you say that you wouldn't join any force? You're dropping your act now that you fear

death?"

The young man in blue from the Heaven Lake Sect sneered at Darren.

His comrades all wore similar expressions, unhappy that Darren had pretended he didn't want to join

any force when they'd first met him. He was changing his tune now that things were getting serious. It

made them think that Darren was quite spineless that he'd cave in so easily in order to save his own

life.

"Ha-ha, that's right. You have a little strength and talent, and most importantly, you are still young. If

you join my Golden Sacred Sect, you will have a bright future."

"Young man, you need to fully understand the position you're in. You were wise to choose us that's

true. Tell me, what's your condition? Though I advise you to not push me too far, that won't end well for

you."

The Golden Sacred Sect's representatives were very happy to see Darren choose them out of all the

three forces present.

"This guy is less than thirty years old but is so strong. I think that our leader will reward us well if we

manage to recruit him."

"Yes, indeed. He's cultivating both the sword and blade skills at the same time. This time we will have

made a real contribution to our sect. On the other hand, he also appears to be a coward, fearing death

above all."

"It doesn't matter. All we're after is the reward."

The Golden Sacred Sect's men were back to talking to each other telepathically. They were looking

forward to the reward they were going to receive for recruiting this genius.

After a moment of silence, Darren said, "My condition is that you kill them."

Darren's eyes fell on the people from the Heaven Lake Sect.

"How dare you!" The people from the Heaven Lake Sect were affronted.

"No way!" the people from the Golden Sacred Sect immediately sputtered in indignation, "How valuable

do you think you are? In order to for us to recruit you, you want us to offend the people from the

Heaven Lake Sect? Don't get ahead of yourself, you're not worth our lives."

Darren wasn't rattled by their outbursts. He merely continued, "Do you honestly think that killing them

would be for my benefit? This is all for your own good."

His words echoed in the air, gaining the interest of the people around, including that of the Crimson

Sea Sect. They wondered what he had meant by that.

"What do you mean by that? Explain yourself," the young man from the Golden Sacred Sect asked.

"These three men are very well dressed, don't you think? So it stands to reason that they would carry a

lot of treasure on their person, right? If Isaac and I help you kill them, the treasures will be divided

between you and the two men from the Crimson Sea Sect. I, on the other hand, will not take a dime.

Doesn't that sound good to you?"

Darren also drew the people from the Crimson Sea Sect in.

The meaning behind his words was simple enough. It was all about the possible treasures and nothing

more. Darren also hoped that the people from the Crimson Sea Sect would not stop them from fighting

the Heaven Lake Sect.

These forces had never been in harmony with each other. There was nothing but animosity and hatred

between them, which Darren used to his advantage to try and provoke them.

"Boy, do you think we'll fall for this? We've seen all kinds of treasures!"

The warriors of the Crimson Sea Sect weren't affected by Darren's words at all. They weren't going to

allow him to pit them against one another with some pitiful words.

"You're dead meat you bastard. Do you honestly believe your mere words are all it will take to convince

these minions to kill us? You overestimate your worth.

In fact, I'm confident enough to let it be known that our senior apprentice indeed has treasures on his

person. It's the Holy Will Pill given to him by our master. Now that you all know, what will you do?

Whoever dares to touch us will simply die. So I suggest you all think before you act!"

The woman from the Heaven Lake Sect had stepped forward yelling like a shrew.

It was obvious from the looks on their faces that the two men from the Heaven Lake Sect were

dumbfounded, their faces even turning green.

'What the fuck! How stupid is she?' Ryan, the senior apprentice, thought to himself, and then turned to

her. "What the hell are you talking about? Get back here now!"

"What? What's wrong with you? Why are you yelling at me? Someone with your strength can't possibly

be afraid that these nobodies would attack you and rob the Holy Will Pill, right?" The woman was

forlorn that he'd treat her like that publicly.

"Shut up!" Ryan was trembling with anger.

He looked at the other people standing around. The greedy light in their eyes was blatantly obvious to

him.

The Holy Will Pill was a very precious piece of treasure after all. One pill was enough to make

someone's Fringe Holy Will increase by ten percent. This kind of treasure was even cherished by the

heads of various forces. How could these mere underlings not be moved?

Darren was overjoyed when he'd heard her outburst. That was the moment he knew he'd won.

"Sirs, it's better for us to fight quickly," Darren goaded the rest.

"Brothers from the Crimson Sea Sect, let's work together. When we get this treasure, we will divide it

amongst ourselves. What do you think?" They looked at each other.

"All right. We will divide up the Holy Will Pill into four shares, and whatever other treasures we find will

belong to us. Otherwise, we won't join the fight."

The two men from the Crimson Sea Sect were conniving liars. They didn't want to divide the Holy Will

Pill. They wanted to take everything so they deliberately made the people from the Golden Sacred Sect

believe that they would be on their side. For now.

The two men from the Golden Sacred Sect were actually thinking along the same lines.

"Don't worry, sirs. Once we succeed, we will help you kill the people from the Crimson Sea Sect. You

can take all the treasure with you as a gift for me joining your distinguished sect,"

Darren assured the two men from the Golden Sacred Sect with his spiritual sense. Instantly, the two

men laughed grimly, and their auras suddenly surged.

"All right then, this means we no longer need to be polite. Kill them now!"

The faces of the people from the Heaven Lake Sect changed drastically under the pressure of the four

overwhelming forces coming at them. The woman was so scared to the extent that she was on the

verge of tears.
