"You may go."
After the Third Elder left, Olivia told everyone else to leave as well.
"Yes."
The other elders were unwilling to stay with Olivia any longer and immediately flew away.
"Come with me,"
Olivia said, casting a glance at Darren. Then, she turned around and flew towards the peak in the distance.
Darren didn't follow her immediately. Instead, he walked over to the immortal.
"Let Elsa out."
"Why?"
"Because you don't have emotions or behave like humans do. You're more than likely to offend someone with your attitude. You know, there are masters everywhere. They're very likely to endanger your life." Darren knew that the immortal already had some semblance of human emotion, but her heart was still focused on one thing: survival.
Darren knew if it came to a point that she needed to save herself, she would do so in a heartbeat.
As expected, the immortal only gave him a curt nod. Now that she had returned to the Primitive Wilderness, it was time for her to cultivate more, so she agreed.
"Oh, Darren. That was so dangerous just now. She didn't even bother to help you! Humph!" Elsa was so worried that she was about to cry. She harbored deep resentment towards the immortal for her unwillingness to help Darren when he was in trouble.
"With her current strength, she wouldn't be able to help me anyways. Come on, let's go meet Olivia," Darren said.
"Okay." Elsa nodded her head. "Is it true that you are going to be a disciple of this sect and you will cultivate for a long time?"
"It depends. Right now, we need to find a place to live. It won't be easy for us to live in the Primitive Wilderness. I'm worried that I won't be able to protect you when we encounter a strong warrior. The Cloud Forest Sect is our best bet in keeping ourselves safe," Darren explained.
"I see. I'll listen to you." Elsa nodded, obediently.
Before he flew to the top of the mountain, Darren released god's power to heal Larkin's wounds.
"Elder Hassan, please help me to take care of him," Darren said as he saluted to Elder Hassan.
"I will. Don't you worry," Elder Hassan replied. Then, he released a force to take Larkin up to the room.
"Thank you." With that, Darren and Elsa flew to the top of the mountain.
When they landed, they saw that the ground was covered with dead branches and fallen leaves.
There was a cliff ahead, and it was about ten thousand feet high. Countless caves were positioned on the cliff and they looked like they were molded into the structure.
"Miss Olivia, I'd like to express my gratitude for your help just now." Darren felt awkward with the silence, so he spoke out.
"Then, show me your sincerity," Olivia said coldly.
"Oh?" Darren smiled blandly. "Please enlighten me."
"It's very simple. I need you to be my daredevil," Olivia said.
"What?" Elsa exclaimed in surprise. "What do you mean? If you want us to be your slaves, it is not going to happen!"
"She's right," Darren added staunchly.
Olivia glanced at Elsa coldly and gave her a withering look. Then, she turned back to Darren. "Darren, a daredevil is not a slave. However, if I ask you to do something, you must complete the task at all costs—even if it means losing your own life."
"What? I refuse!" Darren exclaimed without hesitation. If he accepted Olivia's request, he would lose his right to his life.
"Ah, ah. Don't be so quick to turn me down," Olivia said, tutting. "Being my daredevil doesn't mean that you will have to die for me. If you accept my offer, you will get a lot of benefits. I can let you enter the caves in the cliff to cultivate."
