Sheila was prepared. She had left a little sliver of her soul somewhere so that her soul could have a chance to flee.
This was going to be troublesome. After she returned, she would report this to her father, which might lead to war.
Just then, an intense pressure suddenly descended from the sky, and the sect leader found it difficult to breathe.
A moment later, a shadow appeared in front of the sect leader.
This shadow was dressed in tight black clothes. The big, black bamboo hat on his head hid his face.
"Guard of the Ancestral Land!" The sect leader was shocked. He did not expect that the fight had already alerted the guards in the Ancestral Land.
Each guard in the Ancestral Land was a very powerful being. Even if a master, who had reached the Superior God Realm, broke the rules, they would dare to talk with the master, not to mention he was only the leader of a small sect.
"Guard." The sect leader bowed to show his respect.
"You killed the subordinates of Fiend King Archer." The sect leader shuddered when he heard the guard's cold and majestic voice.
"As they slaughtered the disciples of my sect, I had no choice but to defend my people. Please investigate the matter," the sect leader explained.
"What you did is likely to cause a war. Did you even consider the consequences?" The sect leader frowned. It seemed as though the guard was blaming him.
"Sir, the fiends broke into the human race's territory and wantonly slaughtered the disciples of my sect. If we fought back, it was to protect ourselves. That shouldn't cause war as we didn't instigate the battle." The sect leader patiently explained their actions to the guard.
"You're unreasonable." The sect leader's eyes widened with shock. How could the guard not see the truth?
How could the guard accuse him of being unreasonable? The fiends came to kill his disciples. And they fought back. How was their reaction unreasonable?
"I don't agree with you, sir. If the fiends rushed into the Ancestral Land and killed people, what would you do? If you resisted by killing the fiends, you would also be guilty. Am I right?"
"Shut up!"
The guard roared and released an overbearing aura that crushed the sect leader's legs!
Agony coursed through the sect leader, and he fell to his knees.
"You!" The sect leader was furious, but the guard was too powerful for him to resist.
"You must be punished. Return to the Ancestral Land with me and take your punishment." With that, the guard mobilized his god's power to take away the sect leader.
In the distant space, the fiends behind Darren had not given up the chase.
Fiend power appeared behind Darren and continually bombarded him.
Swish!
Darren released his blade and sword intents, dark gold god's power, and so on. Each time he launched an attack, he was able to kill a few powerful fiends.
But there were too many fiends, and he couldn't kill them all.
"I can't flee. Elsa is still at the Cloud Forest Sect."
Darren was a little far from the Cloud Forest Sect. If he kept fleeing, what would Elsa do? At that thought, he halted.
Seeing that the human in front of them had stopped, tens of thousands of fiends swarmed and surrounded him. There were so many fiends that even a glimmer of light would be unable to penetrate through.
"Roar! Howl!"
All kinds of loud sounds echoed in the space, making Darren's eardrums ache.
"Kill!"
Darren had no choice but to dart forward. As he did, he released majestic god's power from his body.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The powerful attacks launched by the tens of thousands of fiends completely suppressed Darren's power.
This was to be expected as each of his opponents was comparable to the domain gods.
However, Darren wasn't the kind to simply surrender. He fought them bravely for a quarter of an hour before he became powerless.
Bang!
Darren was knocked down, and he bled profusely from each of his several wounds.
However, the fiends didn't kill Darren as they had to catch him alive.
After mustering the last of his strength, Darren killed several fiends. Finally, he was so exhausted that he fell.
He landed on a deserted mountain. The impact was so forceful that he made a hole on the top of the mountain. And, he was embedded in it.
