Darren was completely taken aback.
The Chief Elder's cultivation base was at least at the top level of the Domain God Realm, a realm that was much higher than his. It would be impossible for Darren to kill him.
Besides, Darren could tell that the sect leader was stronger than the Chief Elder. Why couldn't the sect chief do it by himself?
"Well… I'm afraid I can't do that with my current strength," Darren said. He was still stunned.
"I know you are not strong enough, but I have a plan. You just have to agree," the sect leader said.
"Can you tell me in detail? And why can't you just kill him yourself?" Darren asked.
"Before I became the sect leader, I'd established a contract with him that clearly stated that I couldn't attack him and the people he wanted to protect."
"What?" Darren was surprised. No wonder the sect leader just sat there and allowed the Chief Elder's men to act so unscrupulously.
"The reason why I asked for your help is because I want to use your body. I can transfer my soul to your body and kill him," the sect leader said.
"Transfer your soul to my body?" Darren thought for a while and responded, "Master, since you have such a method, why didn't you use the body of your other disciples to kill the Chief Elder before?"
The sect leader glanced at Darren and thought that he was a cautious man. He then explained, "Once I transfer my soul to another body, my life vitality would be damaged. After I return to my original body, I would only have three years left to live, so I didn't dare to use it before. But now, I am near my death. I would die within a year anyway, so I might as well use this method."
"Oh, I see." Darren nodded his head. "Let's do it then."
"You agreed so quickly. Aren't you afraid of the consequences? If I failed to kill the Chief Elder, he would surely destroy your body. Moreover, if I forcibly occupy your body, your soul would wander aimlessly for a month and then vanish from the world. Aren't you worried about those things?"
Darren smiled. "I believe in you, master. Besides, I also want to witness the battle of two strong cultivators. And I'm not worried that you will keep occupying my body. After all, your own body is much better than mine."
The sect leader nodded and replied, "Then we'll do it tomorrow."
"Okay." Darren said nothing more and saw the sect leader off.
"Darren, what if he destroys your body?" Elsa asked worriedly.
"We have no choice, Elsa." Darren's face darkened as he said. "Listen to me, Elsa. We need to stay in the Cloud Forest Sect for a while. If we don't get rid of the Chief Elder, when the sect leader dies one day, we will both be in grave danger. Therefore, it would be best if we could finish him as soon as possible."
At that moment, Darren was worried, but he knew he had to take the risk.
"The sect leader is powerful. It should be no problem," Elsa nodded helplessly.
A day had passed.
The sect leader asked Darren to come by his house.
"Thank you, Darren. I would just like to warn you; it may sting a little when the process of soul transfer begins."
At that time, the sect leader was more than ready.
"It's okay, master. I have suffered a lot of soul attacks, and I'm quite used to them."
The sect leader nodded without saying anything and immediately started using his secret skill.
Normally, when two people established an oath, the oath would be a restriction to the souls of both sides. However, the oath that the sect leader had established with the Chief Elder would bind the body and strength, but not the soul! Thus, this loophole would allow the sect leader to use Darren's body and attack the Chief Elder.
Streaks of vigorous soul power diffused from the sect leader's body.
"Remember, Darren, don't resist it. After I enter your body, your soul will temporarily stay in my body."
"All right."
Darren felt an excruciating pain as if his soul was being torn apart.
A moment later, his soul was quickly detached from his body. It then floated outwards.
