Chapter 483 Took Them As Subordinates


    "Forgive you? How dare you ask me for forgiveness? You guys must have killed so many innocent


    people, to be as powerful as you are now," with a vicious voice and an angry stare, Darren yelled coldly


    at them.


    "Sir, in this world, if one person wants to be powerful, he must be steeped in blood.


    Besides, since getting the hang of the prototype of true rule, we have not been out of the Red Inferno


    Sect, which means we have not killed anyone for more than one hundred years. Please don''t kill us.


    Spare us our lives, sir."


    The grand-elders of the Red Inferno Sect all kowtowed to Darren as they begged him to be merciful


    towards them.


    By rights, as grand-elders of a sect, they should have their pride and not bend a knee to a young man


    to beg for his forgiveness. Yet, they were left with no other alternatives at the moment, bowing down to


    Darren was the only way for them to save their lives.


    In all truths, the way Finley manipted the space had shocked them. Knowing that Finley was


    following Darren''s orders, the grand-elders surrendered to him as well.


    In the present circumstances, Darren had a grim expression on his face, but deep inside his heart, he


    was thinking about what the grand-elder said just now. He was right, and this world was governed by


    thews of the jungle. To be a master warrior, a person must kill some people to prove himself


    worthy. The variance, however,y in the number of people killed. That was just how it was, the survival


    of the fittest, and the elimination of the unfit.


    "Darren, these old men are very powerful and skilled, why don''t you take them as your subordinates?"


    Finley sent a message to Darren using his spiritual sense.


    "I don''t think it is possible. Yes, they are powerful and skilled, but what they had are on the extremes.


    How can I take them as my subordinates if I cannot control them?" Darren replied shortly.


    At first, Darren actually thought it was a good idea to take them as his subordinates. Even though they


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    had killed so many people, they would notmit the same crimes under his control, which would


    mean the same effect as killing them. However, he was not confident that he could control the ruthless


    and powerful grand-elders.


    Yet, Darren thought that to save their lives, they might agree to be his subordinates. Despite that idea,


    Darren still had his doubts and was not totally convinced. What if they changed their minds after Darren


    freed them from the Ancient Void Battlefield? It was almost impossible to drag them back into the


    Ancient Void Battlefield once they were liberated.


    "Ha-ha, don''t worry about that. I often go to the tenth space these past few days, and I have obtained


    several wonderful skills from the defender. One of them is the Soul Control Skill. With this skill, they


    cannot escape from your control. But with one condition, that is they agree to be your subordinates."


    With an excited expression on his face, Finley sent the message to Darren using his spiritual sense.


    "Soul Control Skill? Can I use it?" hearing the good news from Finley, Darren asked immediately.


    "With my help, you will definitely seed," Finley assured Darren.


    "Hey man, you are awesome. Are you trying to be a rule cultivator as well?" with a sheepish smile,


    Darren retorted back to Finley. This time, he was impressed by what his friend had be. All his


    efforts in training and cultivation seemed to pay off.


    "Just for a change, and fun, also," Finley answered calmly, grinning yfully.


    Since Finley said that he had the Soul Control Skill, of course, Darren trusted him immediately. With


    that assurance, he talked to the grand-elders right away, saying, "Now I am giving you two options. The


    first one is to die, right here and now. The second one is to be under my control from this day forward.


    That would mean, you cannot kill innocent people anymore. These are my conditions, and now, your


    fate depends on your decision."


    Hearing what Darren said, the grand-elders thought about it for a while. Then the most influential


    among them asked, "Did you mean you want to enve us? I am sorry, but if you want us to be your


    ves, we would rather die."


    What was the point of living if they would be enved and live a miserable life?


    "No. I don''t need any ves. If you guys submit yourself to me wholeheartedly, I will never give you a


    hard time. I will even treat you as my friends. But whenever I need you, you must do whatever I


    "So... To put it simply, you want to take us as your subordinates?" one grand-elder asked to clear his


    doubts off.


    "Yes, but not the typical subordinates. I will give you enough freedom, and I am sure you will feel more


    untrammeledpared to the times when you were in the Red Inferno Sect. But keep in mind, that you


    cannot do any evil things once you are under mymand," with a stern voice and an air of authority,


    Darren answered.


    "Sir, did you really mean it?" the three old men asked in chorus. They were obviously tempted and was


    on the point of agreeing to Darren''s terms. Thus, to convince them even more, the young warrior


    added, "I have always kept my promises, and I don''t like to lie."


    "Old bastards, since I became the master''s subordinate, he has treated me as his brother. Why do you


    have so many questions? Let me know if you want to die!" The Water Kylin was impatient with their


    rambling conversations. Moreover, he was beaten badly by the grand-elders earlier, which made him


    eager to take revenge on them by killing them.


    "We would love to submit ourselves to you. Master!" Ignoring the Water Kylin, they had made up their


    minds to submit themselves to Darren. After professing their loyalty, the grand-elders bowed to Darren


    and called him master.


    "Great. From this moment on, I will take you as my subordinates. Finley, you can now start using the


    Soul Control Skill on them," Darren asked Finley to utilize the Soul Control Skill to bound the grand-


    elders under Darren''s control.


    "If you are sincere and genuine in your desire to submit yourself to Darren, then don''t ever resist while I


    am using the Soul Control Skill. If you resisted, you could die. But, I will have to say you deserve that.


    Darren, make sure your Spirit Power is rxed. Don''t make any resistance too," Finley instructed both


    the grand-elders and Darren.


    "Yes, sir."


    "Okay."


    The grand-elders and Darren all agreed.


    After their confirmation, Finley began to use the Soul Control Skill. With hisrge hands, he made a


    grabbing motion between Darren and the grand-elders.


    "Ah! Ah! Ah!"


    The air was filled with horrendous shrieks as they all let out grievous screams at the same time.


    "What the heck? Finley, do you want me to kill you? It hurts so much!" Enduring the sharp pain, Darren


    swore. He didn''t expect that the process would be too painful.


    "Hey, just hang in there," saying that, Finley rolled his eyes towards Darren.


    In a split second, Finley extracted a hint of a soul from each of them. After this, the souls were


    intertwined together like a maiden''s braided hair.


    When the intertwined souls were all set and ready, Finley used his powerful skill to stuff the blended


    souls into Darren''s soul directly.


    It only took over thirty seconds, but Darren and the grand-elders were all overwhelmed with the pain. It


    seemed like an eternity for them after experiencing such a tormenting pain.


    "Just a moment, plod on through, and it will bepleted soon," with sweats dripping down his face,


    Finley encouraged Darren.


    Soon enough, the painpletely disappeared. The moment the torture ended, numerous green runes


    rushed into their brains.


    "All done! Now, it was fulfilled, you submit yourselves to Darren wholeheartedly. Thank you for not


    resisting, because if you had done so, your souls would have been broken." Affixing a satisfied smile,


    Finley nodded while saying those words.


    "Darren, try to sense it. If they don''t obey your orders, you can easily kill them by making their souls


    explode," Finley whispered to Darren through his spiritual sense.


    "Yup, I have tried. I havepletely controlled their souls. By using my spiritual sense, no matter


    where they are, I can kill them readily. This indeed is an awesome move!" excited by the newly


    acquired skill, Darren replied. Then as the excitement overwhelmed him, he asked, "But these grand-


    elders'' rule power and Spirit Power are very powerful. Can they unbind the control by themselves?"


    "Unbind the control? Stop being silly. Unless they die, the restriction will be impossible to unbind.


    Besides, if they ever nned to kill you, you would notice it as soon as possible, which would give you


    enough time to kill them in return," totally confident about the Soul Control Skill, Finley exined.


    "That''s very good. If that''s the case, I don''t need to feel worried when I ask them to do things for me,"


    somewhat cleared from all his confusions, Darren verbalized to Finley while eyeing him with a furrowed


    brow.


    "Guys, I am sure you have realized by now how powerful this Soul Control Skill is. I just want to get one


    thing straight here. If anyone of you wants to rebel or does evil things behind my back, I will not forgive


    you again. Remember that I can kill you instantly with just a flick of my fingers. So don''t do anything


    beyond your bounds." While his eyes fixed at the group of grand-elders, Darren gave them a warning.


    "Master, please trust us. We will try our best to assist you and never in our wildest dream will we betray


    you."


    The three grand-elders had a very high cultivation base, so they easily fathomed that the Soul Control


    Skill was more potent than the control skill the Red Inferno Sect had. They knew well that if they plotted


    any means of rebellion or betrayal, they would unquestionably die. With that knowledge, they did not


    dare entertain any wicked ideas, neither in thoughts nor in their speeches.


    "Good to hear that. Now, please stand up. Do you have any ideas why I caught you and why I am in


    the Red Inferno Sect in the first ce?" While he was asking that, Darren nned to tell them the truth.


    Especially now that they were bounded to him as subordinates, he could tell them his ns and


    instruct them what to do for the next steps.


    With controlling these grand-elders, things turned out to be way easier for Darren. With all the potent


    grand-elders on his side, it would be a piece of cake for Darren to save his sister.
