Chapter 467 They Were About To Rebel
"What is a manipted soldier?"
Some high-ranked rule cultivators present did not know about the manipted soldiers. And so, they
asked the other elders this question.
"A manipted soldier is made by cultivators who practice puppet-making. In short, a manipted
soldier is a killing machine without any emotions or sense of pain," one elder exined.
"That guy is powerful. Do you think that the manipted soldiers can defeat him?" someone asked.
"Humph! He is an unknown low-level rule cultivator and a martial artist with power simr to a one-star
grand warrior. How can he defeat the manipted soldiers?
A manipted soldier doesn''t have a soul. Even if he has the rule power blockade, he cannot weaken
the attack of the manipted soldiers. Besides, the manipted soldiers are really powerful. Each of
Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
the manipted soldiers I have put in the pool is as powerful as the top level of a two-star grand
warrior. Escaping to the Protection Domain is a terrible idea. He is as good as dead," said Elder
Quentin, the most powerful elder. He was brimming with confidence.
After he finished his exnation, he silently started to heal the injuries to his soul.
After Darren broke into the Protection Domain, he walked to the side of the deep green pool. Gusts of
Spirit Power started to rise as he neared.
Darren began to feel terrible as several poisons were coursing through him. He stood beside the pool
long enough to check the middle for signs of the young master.
"What? The young master is not in the pool?"
After detecting the pool, Darren did not feel safe. Suddenly, some chilling auras surrounded him.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Four bodies that seemed to be made of metal appeared beside Darren.
"What are these? Their killing intent is so strong!"
Darren was shocked. He looked at the four bodies carefully as he probed them. He sensed no life
aurasing from them. But, they emitted another aura that was cold and powerful.
"The one who breaches the Protection Domain must die!" An emotionless voice broke the silence as it
announced Darren''s death sentence.
The four bodies summoned their weapons and attacked Darren in unison.
Darren was about to avoid their attack by using the Hurricane Teleportation Skill, but a shield with rule
power suddenly appeared and blocked him.
"How did youe in here?" a voice questioned.
Darren raised his eyes to find that the young master was staring at him coldly.
"Young master!" Without any hesitation, Darren fell to his knees.
Darren could sense that the young master of the Red Inferno Sect hadn''t weakened since entering the
Protection Domain. That meant that he hadn''t started to break through yet.
What had he been waiting for? Darren guessed the answer.
Now, Darren still had the same aura and appearance as Kaleb. With his power, it was impossible for
him to defeat the four cold soldiers. Not to mention, the young master of the Red Inferno Sect was still
as strong as before.
"Young master, are you all right? Those damned bad guys! They are trying to kill you. I hate myself for
being too weak to protect you, young master!" Darren pretended to be sad and sighed.
Hearing Darren''s exnation, the young master of the Red Inferno Sect paled. At that moment, the
four manipted soldiersunched another attack on Darren. It seemed as though the previous block
had worn off.
Darren, however, stood quickly and acted to protect the young master of the Red Inferno Sect by
standing in front of him. He said, "Young master, you need to find a way to leave this ce. Those old
bad guys have made all the necessary arrangements to kill you today. I will protect you until I die!"
At that moment, the manipted soldiers'' attack reached Darren. He pretended to stagger while
fighting back. As nned, one of the manipted soldiers'' attacksnded on the young master of the
Red Inferno Sect.
"Damn! I should have guessed that they would try something like this!"
The young master was so angry that he quivered all over. He started to fight the manipted soldiers
with his powerful skills, trying to suppress them.
But the manipted soldiers were soulless. The rule forms that the young master had learned were
almost useless. Only his shackling and defending skills worked.
"Humph!" the young muster sneered. Then a jade bottle appeared in his hand. With his powerful Spirit
Power, he opened the jade bottle.
A figure of a golden-armored martial artist roared and rushed out. His aura was as powerful as that of a
three-star grand warrior.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under themand of the young master''s Spirit Power, the golden-armored martial artist attacked
each of the manipted soldiers. He moved so quickly that he looked like a shing shadow. In a few
seconds, the golden-armored martial artist had beaten the manipted soldiers'' bodies into the
ground. The golden-armored martial artist did not slow down. Instead, he continued to punch the
manipted soldiers until they broke into countless pieces of metal. Then, the golden-armored martial
artist returned to the jade bottle.
"Tell me. What is going on? Who wants to rebel?" the young master of the Red Inferno Sect asked. His
voice and facial expression conveyed the fury he was feeling.
"Young master, it is the five elders. No, to be more exact, all of them want to rebel. The ones who came
to guard you, young master, were working under the orders of the five elders. They want to kill you too,
young master," Darren said. He trembled as he spoke to show that he was terrified.
"Nonsense! How dare they betray me, their young master?" the young master bellowed.
Hearing his question, Darren''s heart jumped with joy. He was no longer worried about himself as he
concluded that the young master had a very suspicious nature. Even without any proof, he had
believed Darren over the group of elders that had sworn to protect him.
How could Darren have known about the young master''s nature?
Before the pool was sequestered, the young master had repeatedly asked what the elders intended to
do if someone entered the Protection Domain. His anxiety stemmed from his concern that he would be
weak and vulnerable during the breakthrough process in the Protection Domain. Thus, if someone
broke in, the young master wouldn''t be able to protect himself. The young master felt reassured only
after the elders informed him that they could open the Protection Domain by burning their souls. Of
course, this showed that the young master was a skeptical and suspicious person.
Moreover, the Red Inferno Sect''s young master should have started cultivating after entering the
Protection Domain. However, he did not enter the pool. Darren was sure that he was waiting to see if
someone would take action to hurt him.
"I dare not lie! They arranged for an opportunity to open the Protection Domain so that they could
secretly enter and kill you, young master. But they did not think that I would learn of their secret. They
tortured me by forcing poisons into my body. They threatened to kill me if I did not join them. I agreed
so that they would be less vignt around me. The moment they opened the Protection Domain, I
fought them and rushed in to tell you the truth," Darren said. His voice wasced with grief and
resentment.
"Humph! Even if you are telling the truth about the elders wanting to kill their young master, how could
they have only one chance to open the Protection Domain?"
"Those rebels fear the power of your Spirit Power, young master. They were afraid that you would
discover their n. So they only made room for a tiny little w in the Protection Domain. They
arranged for those soulless soldiers that attacked us previously, young master. I heard their discussion,
which is why I know that this was their back-up n. They were a hundred percent certain that they
would be able to kill you when you are weak!" Darren continued to portray the elders as disloyal,
calcting rebels.
Boom!
At that moment, the Protection Domain seemed to quiver a little bit. Obviously, someone was attacking
it from outside.
Sensing the attack, the Red Inferno Sect''s young master began to believe Darren''s story. His face
reddened as anger coursed through him.
Outside the Protection Domain, the most powerful elder''s body began to ooze blood when the
manipted soldiers were smashed to pieces. Although the four manipted soldiers were gifts from
one of his friends, he had connected them with his Spirit Power. So, he was severely hurt when the
manipted soldiers were destroyed.
"This is not good. That guy killed the manipted soldiers! Our young master is in danger!" the most
powerful elder said, regardless of his pain.
They had not even considered the possibility that their young master had crushed the manipted
soldiers, not Darren!
The destruction of the four manipted soldiers disturbed all the rule cultivators. A sense of foreboding
filled them as they thought of the consequences! Now that the manipted soldiers sent to protect the
young master had been annihted, their young master was in great danger. If he died, they would
probably be severely punished by the sect leader.
The only thing they could do was to rush in by force and save their young master.
The five elders knew that they would die if they burned their souls to open the Protection Domain. Of
course, they were unwilling to do that before they tried other ways to open the Protection Domain.
Plus, they also suspected that the imposter might have other powerful trump cards since he had
defeated the four manipted soldiers. If the five elders burned their souls and died after that, weaker
cultivators could not possibly save the young master.
The best way for them to open the Protection Domain was to use thebined power of all the
cultivators!
But they never thought that their behavior would reinforce Darren''s lies, andpel the young master
to think it was the truth!
