Chapter 478 Slipped Into The Underground Pce (Part One)
The moment he heard the order from the young master, a sense of doubt grew inside Darren. He was
curious as to what might be the reason why Carey did not take the key by himself in the first ce?
Instead, he asked Darren to steal it for him—something was murky.
"With all due respect, young master, you can just go and ask those three grand-elders for the key. Why
do I have to go and steal it on your behalf?" as he was puzzled at the moment, Darren asked the young
master. A scarcely credible expression was drawn on his face.
"You might have no idea that my father had imposed on those three old madmen an irond duty. That
would mean that, without my father''s words, I cannot get the key from their hands. Besides, those three
old lunatics are very astute and prudent, if I went and asked them for the key, I''m sure that they would

consult my father for an answer, and then they would know my father''s death. My whole n will be
exposed. That would be awful, and I will not allow such things to happen," exined the young master.
"You and I could tell the elders'' true colors from the incident that happened during my cultivationst
time. There are so many unfaithful people in Red Inferno Sect not worthy of my trust. Those three old
madmen are no exception, and they are not honest and loyal to me and my rule. You are the only one
whom I put my trust in, and I can only ask no other disciples except for you. So, help me in taking the
key. I can''t do it myself, for I would be punished severely and be doomed if I went to steal the key. For
sure, I would be beaten to death and put on to the pedestal of shame if I get caught by them. Please
help me, my dear brother."
With a voice as mellow as a kitten, Carey hopefully exined with patience and pleaded Darren for
help.
On the other hand, when he heard all of the reasons that Carey just had exined, Darren''s doubt
cleared off as he had a precise understanding as to why Carey asked him for help in stealing the key.
As a consequence of the circumstances during his cultivation, Carey, the skeptical young master, had
lost his trust to everyone, just like a poor frightened bird—deste and always hesitant.
"So, Kaleb, my dear brother, if they discovered and caught you stealing the key, please don''t tell them
the truth. I''ll promise you, in case you get caught, I will get you out after I find a way to be the new
master of the Red Inferno Sect." The young master was on the verge of desperation by this time. He
was determined to convince Darren to steal the key for him.
Yet, on the onset, Darren sneered in his heart after he heard Carey''s words. All this time, being with the
young master, Darren knew that Carey was always friendly and amiable only when he was in trouble,
or he had to ask favors. For Darren, however, if he would be caught, unfortunately, he knew he would
be ill-omened unless he told the truth. Darren did not even heed Carey''s words when he said that he
would help him out. Darren knew that would be a long shot—almost impossible even.
"Young master, please set your mind at rest. I will try my best to secure the key for you. If worse-luck
will never get you into trouble." As he was uttering those words to assure the young master, Darren''s
words sounded so allegiant. Albeit, they were not sincere words. His real thoughts were the exact irony
of those that proceeded out of his mouth—he had a secret n. The truth of the matter was, he wanted
to steal not only the key from the three grand-elders, but also steal the other two keys from Carey.
Unknown to the young master, this was his real secret n.
"That''s great to hear! Here is the map of the secret chambers of the Underground Pce, and this one
is an invisibility cloak. With the map and the invisibility cloak, you will have a higher chance of
seeding in looting the key from the three grand-elders. Thanks a lot, Kaleb, my dear brother. If I
sessfully got the key and achieved my n smoothly, you and I will rule the Red Inferno Sect
together. Take that as a promise from me," Carey uttered with excitement gleaming in his eyes.
Preparing himself for the arduous task, Darren took the map and the invisibility cloak and replied, "It
was my duty, rest assured that I will try my best to get the key. I will also keep the secret for you. If
there are no other things you need to say, I will go back and prepare myself for it."
"All right. But I suggest you get ready as soon as possible. As you know, my father, if ording to his
original n, wouldplete his closed-door cultivation half a monthter. You must get the key in
three days, so I can get the chance toplete the cultivation of the inferior true rule." Carey gave off
his final instructions to Darren.
"I understand, young master. I will push myself and give my very best to get the key." With that, Darren
replied, bowed to Carey, and then left.
However, after he stepped out of the secret chamber, he didn''t hurry off. Darren''s cautious intuitions
told him the things were not that simple. Thus, he stealthily released a bit of his Spirit Power to spy and
eavesdrop at the secret chamber. Momentster, he was surprised to discover that there was another
man in the secret chamber.
"Young master, if that guy failed, I am certain that he would betray you and would tell all the truth as a
condition to save his life," the man in the secret chamber uttered in a whispered voice.
"I don''t think that would happen. This guy pledged his loyalty to me. Furthermore, I have been humble
to him. As much as possible, I am friendly and amiable to him for this matter. Judging from his actions
towards me, I am sure that he must feel very connected to me and would instead take his own life than
tell the truth. But just in some unfortunate cases, I would kill him right away once he had been
discovered or caught," the young master disclosed with an evil voice.
"I understand, young master. Did you give him the invisibility cloak and have it rigged? What if he would
seed in getting the key? How do you intend to reward him?" the man questioned. It could be sensed
in his inquisitive voice that he was very curious.
As he thought about the man''s question, Carey nodded and admitted that he had rigged the invisibility
cloak to Darren. "If he would seed in retrieving the key for me, I will surely reward him. I will make
sure that the reward will be something extraordinary, and that will be his death! Ha-ha, ha-ha!" Carey
chortled evilly.
Initially, he nned that the moment Darren handed him the key, he would cultivate the true rule and
achieve that very powerful strength. By that time, Darren would no longer serve any value for Carey.
Moreover, Darren had seen how frightened he was when facing danger. It was such a disgrace to the
young master. Thus, to let no one know this humble side of him, the young master had made up his
mind to kill Darren.
