"Let's steal their pills and rune papers and then take off," said Darren lightly.
The people that survived the battle were furious when they heard this.
"How dare you!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't help us. But how dare you even suggest robbing our things? We wouldn't dare kill you here, but do you think we won't try and exterminate your entire sect after we get out of here?"
It was forbidden for humans to kill each other on the Archean land they were currently in. Otherwise, they would be severely punished by the Ancestral Land, and their entire sect would be implicated as a result. Nobody dared challenge this rule.
"Boy, since you said that you wanted to rob our things, come on and try! Even if you aren't injured now, I don't think you'd be stupid enough to try and harm us."
Their belongings were stored in their Space Rings. As long as they didn't hand over their belongings voluntarily, what could Darren do to them? Anyway, he wouldn't dare kill anyone.
"You son of a bitch! No wonder your unreliable master was in danger as soon as he came in. He actually had the gall to ask us to come in and save him. You're both trash."
"Forget it. We just need to focus on saving ourselves. Don't bother to save this villain's master. Just let him die!"
Darren's face twitched with annoyance. He couldn't bear to hold his anger back any longer.
"It's not that I don't have the guts to kill you, but I don't need to put out the effort to do it myself," said Darren, in a bloodthirsty tone.
The Primitive Emperor, waiting on the sidelines, got the signal.
Whoosh!
He flew out and smashed down a palm strike at the head of the one person who talked the most nonsense.
"Hand over the things we want, or die. You choose your own fate," threatened the Primitive Emperor.
The survivors were dumbfounded. The kid sure didn't dare make a move, but this mysterious man could do whatever he wanted.
The odds were definitely not in their favor, and they surely didn't want to die.
"Ha-ha, fine! For today at least, victory is yours!" Someone cackled wildly and handed over his pills and rune papers.
The meaning behind his words was obvious. He knew in his heart that he would take revenge someday.
Seeing someone take the lead, all the other people followed suit. They didn't dare hesitate and handed over their pills and rune papers. After all, their lives were at stake.
Darren calmly put all their things away with a smile.
He didn't actually have much use for most of their belongings.
He was just angry and wanted to get back at them. 'I take it you really want to keep your things so you can survive, right? Well, now they're all mine!' This was what he was thinking.
Darren didn't bother to let the Primitive Emperor kill these people, because they were destined not to be able to get out of the place anyway. It would be better for them to experience a life or death situation, at least.
"Let's go."
Darren and his companions then flew away together.
"I swear to God that I will take revenge on that young man!"
"We have a lot of time. You'd better die here, or what awaits you will be endless darkness!"
"Argh! I have never been so insulted like this before. You will rue this day! I'll massacre your whole sect one day!"
Long after Darren and his group disappeared into the distance, the people continued to roar and curse him.
"Sir, I'm grateful that you're here with us, or Lindsay and the others would've been in a lot of danger."
While flying, Darren expressed his sincere thanks to the Primitive Emperor.
"No worries, Darren, that's what friends are for," said the Primitive Emperor, with a light chuckle.
It occurred to him that when they met last time, Darren had reached the God Realm, while he was just an old man who had entered Darren's small world by accident.
Knowing how much Darren had grown his strength, he found that Darren was still respectful towards him and called him sir. It was obvious that Darren maintained his respect for the Primitive Emperor, and treated him as an elder despite his new powers.
"Darren acted out like that because he was so worried for us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for saving our lives, sir," said Sally as she bowed to the Primitive Emperor.
"Thank you, sir." Lindsay and the others also expressed their sincere gratitude.
"Ha-ha, you're welcome. It was nothing, young ones. A piece of cake, really. You're all Darren's friends. Even at the cost of my own life, I'd protect you all from danger."
"We won't let anything like that happen, sir." Darren smiled.
They headed north, searching for Akbar's aura as they went along their way.
After flying for a few days, they finally stopped and landed.
"Could we be heading in the wrong direction? Why can't we sense anything?"
"You're right, we have traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers by now."
"Primitive Emperor, what do you think? Is this path northbound?" asked Darren.
