Chapter 447 The Resurface Of The ck-robed Man (Part Two)
As a n was formed in Darren''s head, he was grateful for the ring that the red-robed elder had given
to him. The ring could help him resist the attack from rule cultivators as well as hide his aura for them
not to detect him. The ring could conceal him well enough that even the powerful ck-robed
messenger might not be able to find him. Thus, Ethan''s suggestion might just actually be workable.
However, the question that remained was how to summon that ck-robed messenger here.
"I can help you lure him out. He does not know that I have beenpromised," Ethan offered. More
than anything else, he was doing it for himself rather than helping Darren at all. He was with the hope
that if Darren could kill that ck-robed messenger, he too would be freed from his bondage with him.
"You? Are you really going to do that for me? Or are you thinking that maybe I will spare your life if you
help me with that?" Curious and bothered at the same time, Darren was a little hesitant as to why
Ethan offered to help him.
"Look at me. I am better dead than being alive. This is not for me, and I just want a quick death. That''s
all." All of a sudden, Ethan began tough as if he was relieved to know that a painless death was right
around the corner.
Even if he got to keep his life today, he would still be a useless person who could barely take care of
himself. Furthermore, now that he was incapacitated, that ck-robed man would most likely kill him
since he was of no use to him. If he once again fell into the hands of that ck-robed man, he would
most likely be tortured the way that he had just experienced from Darren. He was scared by that pain,
and he would not want to live through it anymore, which was the reason why he wanted to help Darren
so that he could have a quick death by return.
However, Darren could not read Ethan''s mind. He was worried that Ethan might use it as an
opportunity to call for the backup of many powerful rule cultivators to attack him so that he could
escape.
Even if Darren managed to thwart their attack with the assistance from the Water Kylin, the Red
Infernal Sect would have been alerted to his presence. He would lose the element of surprise.
"What? You don''t believe me?" implored Ethan as he saw the baffled expression on Darren''s face.
"Damn! Yes, you are right that I do not believe you!" Darren answered coldly, sneering at Ethan, who
was still pale in the face.
"Fine. Then suit yourself. I am summoning the ck-robed messenger in." Ethan then fetched a bead
from his garments. He then talked to it immediately, "Sir, I have sessfully collected one thousand
powerful souls. Pleasee and get them."
Aghast and surprised at the sudden turn of events, Darren had been thinking about whether Ethan was
telling the truth or not. Yet, before he came around and tried to stop Ethan, it was toote as the
transmission was alreadypleted.
Swoosh!
With that unanticipated move, Darren decided to spare Ethan his life. Instead, he brought the Water
Kylin with him and went hiding nearby using his ring to conceal their presence.
Before long, the ck-robed man arrived as promised by Ethan. He was precisely what Ethan had
described—vile and vehement.
The moment he saw Ethan, he frowned for he was all beaten up and could not even stand. Who could
have done such things?
"Where are the souls that you have collected for me?" the ck-robed man implored. There was a
tinge of urgency and authority in his voice.
Now, this was the moment of truth. Would Ethan reveal the information about Darren and call for the
help of the messenger, or did he have something else in mind?
Darren observed carefully. If Ethan dared to lie to him, Darren would definitely kill him even if it meant
that he would have to take some risk, instead of letting him escape just like he did thest time.
"You can collect my ass! Punk ass bastard! Ha-ha!"
To Darren''s surprise, Ethan suddenly began tough while cursing the ck-robed man with the
meanestnguages.
"Are you ying with me? Do you want to die right now?" The ck-robed man had never thought that
Ethan would dare y around with him like a fool. He was infuriated by the insult. Fueled by that fury
and humiliation, runes began to shine on the ck-robed man''s body.

"How dare you, such a low life creature, tell me what to do? Who do you think you are to order me to
do things for your pleasure? Do you still want me to be your dog? In your dreams!" Ethan was
coughing blood now, but he appeared rxed as if he was weing what woulde next—his
death, his final deliverance.
"Just die!" The ck-robed man was clearly pissed off, and he stabbed a sword of rune into Ethan''s
chest. With the fatal blow, Ethan died instantly, and his spirit was dispersed at once.
Seeing that the man was now lifeless and useless for him, the ck-robed man then flipped his hand.
A purple bead came flying out of Ethan''s body andnded in the palm of the messenger.
"Only seven hundred and fifty-eight souls?" After counting the souls and found that there was not
enough, the ck-robed man kicked Ethan out of the anger.
"Useless piece of shit. How dare you trouble summoning me for collecting these rubbishes?" the ck-
robed man mumbled a curse.
Only then did Darren realize that Ethan really wanted to die. So he chose the back-robed man''s way to
end his own life.
Just a few steps away from them, Darren decided not to specte further on the reason for Ethan''s
action. He had collected more than seven hundred souls, which could only mean that he had killed
many people to acquire such souls. That simply meant that his death was rightful and not worth any
tears.
The current issue at hand for Darren was whether he should tail this ck-robed man or just take him
down right then and there and force him to lead him to the Red Infernal Sect.
Looking at the ck-robed man, Darren could sense that his Spirit Power was mighty, and his rule
cultivation must be equally strong. Even if he managed to outmatch him with the help of the Water
Kylin, his ns would still be ruined if the ck-robed man managed to escape.
"He had been wounded before he died. Who did this to my dog? Could it be from some warriors that
are onto us?" As curiosity stirred him, the ck-robed man noticed the wounds on Ethan''s body and
soon realized that he did not inflict the injuries to himself.
With that, as a knee-jerk action, the ck-robed man immediately activated his Spirit Power and began
to check for any suspicious presence in the radius of hundreds of miles.
