Chapter 485 Get The Key (Part Two)


    "Young master, I also heard a new piece of information when I was eavesdropping. I heard one of the


    grand-elders saying that this box could only be opened in the presence of two other keys. Other than


    that, even the sect leader was not powerful enough to open it. The two other keys were essential to


    open this box." Now that he was certain that Carey was not able to open the box, Darren just made up


    any lies that he wanted Carey to believe.


    "Are you actually sure about that? This is the first time I hear of this." Carey stared at Darren, looking


    very suspicious. He tried to hide the murderous intent in his eyes again.


    "Yes, that is what I heard back then when I was stealing the key. They were conferring about how to kill


    you before the sect leader finishes his closed-door cultivation, and that''s when I heard it," Darren


    responded with a sincere and genuine look on his face, hoping that Carey would buy his story.


    "Those old pricks, I knew it! They want to overthrow me. When I have mastered the inferior true rule, I


    shall have them killed instantly! A horrible death is what they will get! Plotting against me now? Oh I


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    shall have no mercy for them!" Carey shouted with a snort, as a strong murderous intent and fury burnt


    at the bottom of his heart. He was enraged.


    "Wait a minute. Something is off. Tell me now? They did not spot you when you listened in on them? I


    despise them, but I also know them to be extremely powerful. How did they not sense your presence at


    the time? That is highly irregr and unlike them." Carey''s tone grew colder and deeper while staring


    at Darren in a deadly manner.


    Carey''s suspicion was well-founded not just from Darren''s response. He had done something with the


    invisible cloak, which enabled him to sense the presence of Darren. However his aura disappeared


    words. That was why he was testing Darren''s story.


    Carey was an extremely paranoid character, and he even suspected that Kaleb had been captured by


    the three grand-elders and defected to their side. There was no end to Carey''s paranoia.


    Otherwise it would not make sense to him that Kaleb could eavesdrop on the three powerful grand-


    elders and steal the key with rtive ease without them ever noticing it. The way Carey saw it,


    something must be off, and it was very likely that the Kaleb standing in front of him right now was a


    traitor. How Carey hated traitors!


    This question also caught Darrenpletely off guard. Without any hesitation, he decided to ignore


    this question by Carey and pretended to be anxious for him instead. "Young master, at this moment,


    maybe we should just focus on getting the key so that you can get your training of the true rule


    underway before we get to anything else. After we have those with the Primitive Feminine Bloodline


    under our custody, I will exin everything that has taken ce to you. I will exin everything in


    detail.


    The thing that I fear the most right now is those old pricksing over here andunching their attack


    against you without any warning. If they actually do that, we will be dead for certain, and in an instant.


    They are extremely powerful. With the key in your hand, even if you decide not to fight them, you can


    still go and hide in the dungeon, where they would not be able to enter without the keys. You will be


    safe under all circumstances. Your safety is paramount."


    Carey stared at Kaleb, personified by Darren and noticed the anxiousness in his look and voice. What


    he had suggested was indeed reasonable and thoughtful, so Carey decided that he needed to set his


    suspicion aside for now and focus on getting the key instead as his life depended on it. He realized he


    was in danger. Another reason was that Kaleb had always been loyal to him, and it was highly


    improbable that he would defect to anyone else. So Carey finally decided to trust him fully. Therefore


    he rxed towards Kaleb a little.


    "Fine. Kaleb, you did well this time. You go now and get some rest. You have earned it. After I get the


    key, we can go and kill those old pricks. The Red Inferno Sect will then be ours to rule forever, with no


    one to challenge us! Ha-ha!" Carey patted Darren on the shoulder to convey his satisfaction with him,


    and then headed towards his ptial inner chamber for the practice of his true rule.


    Just when he was about to leave, he turned his head and looked towards a dark corner which Darren


    did not notice. With that done, Carey left with a cold and cruel smile on his face.


    Carey had just left the room and was out of sight, and immediately a man-shaped shadow instantly


    appeared out of nowhere and approached Darren. The shadow, however, appeared benevolent.


    "Master, please be careful! I sensed someone else in this room. He is quite a strong opponent and is


    about to ambush you! You must prepare yourself for he is near!"


    Horace, the grand-elder, immediately notified Darren telepathically of a stronger presence when Darren


    had not been aware of this grim situation yet. Darren suddenly stiffened up and all his senses went on


    immediate alert.


    "Come on out now! It is high time for you to show yourself to me!" Darren instantly grew vignt of his


    surroundings and shouted the order as an attempt to flush his opponent out his hiding ce.


    "Ha-ha, Kaleb, you are not so bad after all. I must admit that you have exceeded my expectations. I


    never expected that you would be able to sense my presence here! But you proved me wrong!"


    A figure emerged from the dark corner that Carey had given a look at earlier. However his body


    remained in the state of a pitch ck shadow despite his movement. The figure looked menacing.


    "You are not so bad yourself. I see that you have mastered the Shadow Rule! And now you are


    showing off too!" Darren pointed out his method. Horace, who was also quite familiar with such a trick,


    had told him this with his spiritual sense.


    "I see that I have underestimated you. You really appear to know much, which is quite impressive. In


    that case, I will kindly grant you a quick and painless death, and I hope you will appreciate my


    kindness," the dark shadow said lightly as if he was talking about a small matter as opposed to a case


    of life and death. His sadism was all too obvious.


    "And why do you want to kill me? What do you suppose that would solve? And in which way have I


    wronged you?" Darren asked calmly, not in the least bit intimidated by the shadow''s murderous intent.


    "I never intended to kill you as you have always been a loyal servant to us. However, you also know the


    young master to be a skeptical and meticulous person, who does not like any loose ends. You know


    too much about him, which represents a risk to him, so he must have you killed. Is this exnation


    good enough for you? In any case, this is the only exnation I have." The ck shadow smiled coldly,


    with dead eyes, and continued, "Good enough or not, you are going to die here today and now. I hope


    there are no hard feelings. After all this is nothing personal, but purely business I am ordered to take


    care of. I am sure that you understand, right? You are smart enough." Darren snorted at thisment


    and reverted back to his original appearance, which waspletely unexpected to the shadow, whose


    dead eyes grew wider at the surprise.


    "What? What is going on here? Who are you? You are not Kaleb! Who the hell are you? What did you


    do to Kaleb?" The dark shadow was clearly startled by such sudden turn of events.


    "Master, it is good to go now. I have entirely sealed off this space, and Carey would not sense anything


    if we kill him right now, but we must be swift!" Horace gave Darren the green light and Darren


    acknowledged it.


    The reason why Darren had been having this long conversation with him was simply to buy himself


    some more time so that Horace could seal off this entire space. No one else would notice what was


    happening here now.


    "Good job. Then it''s your turn now. Get on with it quickly as I figure that Carey may have got the key


    already, go ahead now," Darren barked the order into the thin air, as the shadow looked surprised.


    "Yes, master! Right away master!"


    After a deferential response of acknowledgement, Horace, the grand-elder, appeared in front of the


    shadow, startling him and his dead eyes.


    "Damn! It''s you! You! You! You traitor!" The shadow panicked as his voice shook with fear.


    "Your little trick of Shadow Rule is nothing but child''s y before me. Now it is time for you to die! Get


    ready to breathe yourst breath!"


    Runes began to sh in Horace''s hand, and without any hesitation Horace used his most powerful kill


    shot, and sted space cracks at the shadow. Despite the state of the shadow, he was still reduced to


    pieces in an instant under the force of the space cracks.


    Darren saw what was left of the shadow and he was very satisfied with the strength of his subordinate.


    That grand-elder was truly powerful. The shadow was in tatters now. The strength of this shadow was


    only slightly weaker than that of the Water Kylin. Darren would not have stood a chance against him,


    but Horace managed to kill him within a split second, which was indeed quite impressive to Darren.


    Darren was grateful to have Horace on his side now.


    "Let''s go and find Carey to get the key now that this is over,e on!" Darren ordered and then


    headed towards the chamber in the depth of Carey''s pce.
