Nobilis of War

Chapter 1162 The Sect Leader's Task

Darren opened his eyes and glanced at the young man. The man was an upper-level primary god.

"Fuck off!" Darren shouted as he released the blade and sword intents to force the young man back

and to leave many small wounds on his body.

"You!"

The young man looked frightened. He clearly felt that Darren's level was on par with his, but he felt that

Darren's god's power was extremely dangerous.

"Tell that bastard that if he wants to kill me, he can say it to my face," Darren said in a flat tone as he

lay on the grassland peacefully.

"You are so arrogant! Soon, you will offend the wrong people!" With that, the young man shivered with

fear and flew away hurriedly.

Boom!

A moment after the young man left, an ear-piercing thunder rang out in the air above the Cloud Forest

Sect. Then, a man in a blue robe arrived. Ripples of god's power spread out everywhere he went.

The man was the Third Elder. In fact, he had overheard what Darren had said through his god's sense.

The Third Elder descended from the sky and landed thirty feet away from Darren. Many disciples were

intrigued, so they used their god's sense to see what was going on. Some of them even flew to where

the two were.

The Third Elder stood there for a moment and suddenly shouted, "Kneel!" The disciples who spectated

shivered in fear. Some of the weaker ones even spat out blood out of terror. However, Darren was left

unmoved.

Whoosh!

Darren sprang out of the grassland.

"Why? Why would I kneel down just because you asked me to?" Darren sneered defiantly.

"Because you insulted me. You must kneel down to receive my punishment!" the Third Elder, with his

hands clasped behind his back, answered as if he was cut above the rest.

"Save it. I know you want to kill me to avenge your disciple. You don't have to find any excuses to

provoke me. If you have the guts, just kill me," Darren said indifferently.

"How dare you slander me! I'll break all your veins and annihilate your cultivation base as a

punishment!" 'He is still too young. If he speaks in a humble manner and makes an apology, maybe I'll

spare him," the Third Elder thought.

"If you want to destroy my cultivation base, you have to ask my master for his consent," Darren said

nonchalantly.

"I don't care who your master is. I'm going to teach you a lesson for smearing me!"

"Well." Darren lifted his eyelids and said, "It looks like Olivia was right. There's nothing you wouldn't

dare to do in the Cloud Forest Sect. Even my master, the leader of the Cloud Forest Sect, is not

qualified to be respected by you."

"What?"

"Is he a disciple of the sect leader?"

"That's impossible! How could the sect leader take him as a disciple? He must be scared, so he's just

lying his way out of the situation!"

The disciples couldn't believe what they heard. Their sect leader had not taken a disciple for several

thousand years. How could the arrogant man be his disciple?

However, the Third Elder didn't think Darren was lying. He had probed Darren's body and found traces

of sword intent that was unique to the sect leader.

Knowing this, the Third Elder didn't intend to back off at that moment. Instead, he wanted to kill Darren

as soon as he got the chance. Otherwise, Darren might become a threat to him. After all, the sect

leader wouldn't live long. When the top leader of the fiend race came, it would be time for the sect

leader to die. Thus, the Third Elder knew that there was no need to be afraid of him.

"How dare you pretend to be a disciple of the sect leader! I hereby proclaim the punishment for your

several crimes: death!"

Boom!

A terrifying and dense god's power was immediately shot at Darren.

However, Darren wasn't worried at all. He knew that he was protected by the dragon ancestor. As long

as he was there, his life wouldn't be in danger.

All of a sudden, a frightening sword intent came down from the sky and shattered the Third Elder's

god's power before the dragon ancestor could protect Darren.

The veins of the Third Elder's legs were instantly cut off by a small amount of sword intent, which

caused him to bend his knees on the ground.

"Master!"

A white-haired young man slowly came into view. Without hesitation, the disciples immediately knelt

down and kowtowed to him.

The white-haired young man approached the Third Elder. His tall figure blocked the light from the sun

and covered the kneeling Third Elder. The Third Elder shivered with fear and didn't even dare to raise

his head.

"Master!" the Third Elder uttered and quivered slightly.

"You are getting more and more impudent." The voice of the white-haired young man was gentle, but it

had a daunting aura.

"No, master, I dare not. It's because of this pompous young man who's pretending to be..."

Before the Third Elder could finish his words, a spine-chilling sword intent suddenly appeared and

circled around his neck. The killing intent filled his back with cold sweats.

"Stop your childish lies!"

"Okay, okay. It's all my fault. Master, please forgive me," the Third Elder cried out. Only then did he

realize that the sect leader was so powerful that his words were truly naive. How could he deceive the

sect leader?

"If you stay here for one more year, the entire Cloud Forest Sect will not be peaceful," the sect leader

said calmly.

The Third Elder's mind went blank.

It was obvious that the sect leader was about to sentence him to death.

"Please, master. I'm terribly sorry. Could you please give me another chance?" On the verge of death,

the Third Elder panicked.

"Please calm down. Even if he did something wrong, he didn't deserve to die. Please let him off this

time."

An old man dressed in a large black robe suddenly came up to the sect leader.

"Chief Elder, help me," the Third Elder begged as he knelt forward and came to the Chief Elder of the

Cloud Forest Sect, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

There was a slight change in the sect leader's expression when he saw the old man, but only for a

moment, he resumed his cold face.

"Darren, come with me," the sect leader said to Darren hastily.

"Master, the Third Elder wanted to kill me mercilessly just now. Why did you let him off the hook so

easily? Where's your dignity?" Darren said.

The reason why Darren asked his master rather loudly was not because he wanted to take advantage

of his master's privilege. He was not that kind of person. Instead, he wanted to understand the nature

of the relationship between the Chief Elder and the sect leader.

In a word, Darren wanted to know who was in charge of the Cloud Forest Sect and who was the

strongest.

"Come with me," the sect leader responded calmly and firmly to Darren.

Darren immediately realized the answer to his question. It turned out that the sect leader was afraid of

the Chief Elder! Darren could roughly guess that the Third Elder was on the Chief Elder's side. It was

probably why the Third Elder was always so unscrupulous.

"Yes, master." Since he realized that the sect leader was scared, Darren did not dare continue to tangle

with them foolishly. At that moment, he figured it was best for them to retreat.

Immediately, Darren and Elsa followed the sect leader to a wooden shabby house in a remote

mountain.

"Master..." Darren wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought.

"Are you trying to ask me why I'm scared of the Chief Elder?" The sect leader had already read

Darren's mind.

"Yes." Darren gave a nod.

"Ha-ha. I am not scared of him. However, due to certain rules and other factors, I cannot be in conflict

with him.

It's complicated. Anyway, I have a task for you, Darren." Darren was confused by the sect leader's

words.

"What is it, master?" Darren asked respectfully. After all, a disciple should behave appropriately to his

master.

"Would you like to help me kill the Chief Elder?"

The sect leader's request suddenly resounded in Darren's mind like a thunderstorm.
