Chapter 1057 The Inner Fiend Wants To Be A ve
Since it wasn''t prudent to let Barnes assimte the Inner Fiend for the moment, Darren decided to
shackle him. He just had to figure out a way to do that.
"Finley, do you know a way to imprison him?" Darren himself was a martial artist. This meant he didn''t
have the rule skills to imprison people.
"He may have an Eternal Body, but he has been beaten too many times. He doesn''t have much
strength left, so I think I can imprison him with my true rule. The question now is where I should do
that," Finley replied.
"Finding a ce won''t be a problem. Let''s just put him in the Ancient Void Battlefield," the Water Kylin
proposed.
"That''s a good idea." Darren nodded.
"How stable is the Ancient Void Battlefield at the moment?" Finley asked.
"Don''t worry. I''m a half-step emperor now. It would take a long time for the Inner Fiend to smash the
battlefield even if he''s in his peak stage. And now that he''s weak, there will be no problem with the
battlefield''s stability."
With Darren''s newfound strength, the state of the Ancient Void Battlefield had also been improved.
"That''s good. When he revives, you send us in together," Finley said.
Darren nodded his head at that. A few minutester, the Inner Fiend''s body was finally condensed.
There was no struggle or resistance on the Inner Fiend''s part because he was too weak to fight them
off.
"Darren, let me go." The Inner Fiend was afraid that Darren would try to break him again.
"Why should I let you go?" Darren sneered.
"We can make a deal," the Inner Fiend responded.
"I don''t want anything from you!" Darren snapped. His face had turned cold.
"Please hear me out." Deep inside, the Inner Fiend was panicking. His desperation had urged him to
continue, "My purpose for cooperating with the first fiend ancestor is to assimte Barnes and be
an eight-tribtion senior holy warrior."
"Cut the crap. We know that already." It was the Water Kylin who spoke. His fangs were bared, and he
waved his ws in the air threateningly.
The Inner Fiend''s face crumpled in anger. The corners of his lips were pulled down and his nose was
all scrunched up. However, he restrained his fury because he knew he was too weak to fight them off
any longer.
"If it were up to me, I wouldn''t have cooperated with the first fiend ancestor in the first ce. He''s
dangerous, and I think you know what I mean," the Inner Fiend said.
Darren remained silent. Finley nced at him briefly before asking, "Are you saying you want to work
with us now?"
"Smart guy!" The Inner Fiend smiled admiringly and then continued, "I will work with you only if you
bring Barnes to me."
"Are you an idiot?" the Water Kylin sneered. "We''d rather believe in Barnes than in you. If we give you
to him, we''ll let him assimte you and then we''ll have an eight-tribtion senior holy warrior for an
ally."
It was obvious that he was trying to intimidate the Inner Fiend.
"No! You can''t do that! " Just as the Water Kylin had expected, the Inner Fiend fell for his threat. If
Barnes did arrive at this moment, the Inner Fiend wouldn''t be able to resist him. He would be
assimted in no time. "Don''t trust my real body. He''s more cunning than I am. He''s only helping you
because you have something that interests him. Once he bes the eight-tribtion senior holy
warrior, he will be your enemy!"
"And what about you? If you be an eight-tribtion senior holy warrior, will you not be our enemy
as well? What a joke!" Finley sneered.
"Cut the crap. Let me teach him a lesson!"
In a blink of an eye, the Water Kylin stood before the Inner Fiend and began hitting him.
"Ow!"
the Inner Fiend screamed in pain.
"Save me. If you don''te, you won''t get your other bodies." He sent this message to the first fiend
ancestor.
"No, I won''t," the first fiend ancestor responded coldly.
In fact, he had been aware of everything that had happened to the Inner Fiend ever since thetter had
been broken into pieces by Darren. But the forbidden area was still guarded by the horrible Witcher
Power. It was impossible for him to get close to where the Inner Fiend was. If he was caught by the
power, it would take a long time for him to recover.
"Shit! Son of the bitch! You''re the reason why I''m in this mess. When I survive the eighth tribtion, I''ll
The first fiend ancestor fell silent upon hearing the Inner Fiend''s threats.
"Finley, get ready to shackle him!"
Darren began activating the Ancient Void Battlefield to send the Inner Fiend and Finley inside.
"Wait!" Cracks were beginning to appear all over the Inner Fiend''s body. It made him grotesque and
terrifying to look at.
"What else do you want to say?" Darren asked impatiently.
"I am willing to be your ve," the Inner Fiend bargained. He sounded forced when he said this.
Darren was stunned when he heard this.
Everyone knew that the Inner fiend was arrogant. He had been imprisoned in the Raksa Sea for
millions of years and yet he never begged or bowed his head to anyone. But now, he wanted to be
Darren''s ve? It was unbelievable.
"What tricks are you up to now?" The Water Kylin pped the Inner Fiend across the face. But deep
down, however, he was excited by the idea of the Inner Fiend bing a ve. He woulde in

handy especially once he became an eight-tribtion senior holy warrior. The human race would have
one less enemy to worry about.
"I''m not trying to trick you. I''m just really scared. I''d rather be a ve than live in a void. This is the only
choice left for me." The desperation and despair were evident in the Inner Fiend''s voice. He seemed
very lost.
"Finley, suppress him!" Darren, however, wasn''t swayed by the Inner Fiend''s pleas. He went ahead
with absorbing the fiend and Finley into the Ancient Void Battlefield.
"No!" A painstaking roar shook the earth. "Please believe me! I beg you!"
"Well, Master?" As soon as Finley and the Inner Fiend were gone, the Water Kylin turned to look at
Darren. Unlike Darren, he was willing to try out the deal.
"What do you want to say?" Darren asked calmly.
"Don''t you think having him as a ve will be useful? If we let him assimte Barnes, then we have
nothing more to worry about," the Water Kylin said convincingly.
"Do you think it''ll make him trustworthy by making him call me master?" Darren retorted.
"Of course it is. I call you master, and I have never disobeyed you once." Indeed, the rtionship
between the Water Kylin and Darren was that of a master and a ve. The rules for such connection
was rigid and specific to the point of being terrifying.
Darrenughed and shook his head. "That''s because you aren''t as strong as he is. If he bes an
eight-tribtion senior holy warrior, the rule that bounds him as my ve would be unstable. Who
knows maybe he can break it eventually.
Besides, we have no proof yet that Barnes is targeting the human race. Maybe he won''t? Maybe he
will? It''s all just conjecture. If Barnes really wants to help the human race, but we simply capture him
and give him to his enemy, do you think it''s fair to him? It''s not my style to do such a thing.
Lastly, if the Inner Fiend really wants to submit to me, then will it matter if I suppress him for some
time? If Barnes turns out to be a threat to us, I''ll go to the Inner Fiend for help. I''m sure he''ll concede to
my request once he is suppressed for some time. In this way, he''ll be more sincere."
"Master, you are indeed wise. You really have it all, don''t you," the Water Kylin said, amazed at
Darren''s exnation.
There was no rush in epting the Inner Fiend''s offer. After all, he was still under Darren''s mercy
whether they epted it or not.
"Let''s head back to the Sacred Pce. The Inner Fiend has finally been suppressed, while the first
fiend ancestor won''t be able to get close to the forbidden areas to save the rest of his body parts. We
should be fine for now," Darren said. He and the Water Kylin then flew away together.
"Oh no!" The Water Kylin stopped all of a sudden and turned to Darren. Worry was etched on his face.
"What if the first fiend ancestores after us and tries to save the Inner Fiend after we leave the
forbidden area?"
