Upon hearing this, Darren laughed and said, "Don't place all your hopes on your so-called master. My avatar and the tribe ancestor had already driven him and his master away. I'm afraid he won't dare come out again."
"That's bullshit! My master will come out of the forbidden area soon. And when he does, he will kill you and your companions." The little ape was adamant with his belief as he glared at Darren.
Darren frowned. "Don't be too arrogant. Your master isn't strong enough to enter the forbidden area. And even if he did, he's probably dead by now."
Of course, Darren himself had no idea what the forbidden area on this island was, but the little ape didn't have to know that. Darren was simply trying to wheedle information out of the latter.
"My master is the most talented cultivator in the world. I'm sure that he will succeed in getting out of the forbidden area." As the little ape spoke, his eyes fell on the gigantic ape stone statue that stood like a mountain from a distance. This didn't escape Darren's notice.
"So the forbidden area is in the giant stone statue!" Darren realized.
The little ape laughed and said, "So what if you know? No one can open the way to the forbidden area except for my grandfather. You say you want to kill my master? Well, good luck on that!"
"Then I suppose I ought to bother your grandfather for a bit." Darren smiled.
"Go away. My grandfather won't help you."
But Darren ignored the little ape and continued, "Let's see if your grandfather truly loves you."
The expression on the little ape's face instantly changed. He seemed to have guessed Darren's real intentions.
"Are you thinking of using me to threaten my grandfather?" The little ape seemed nervous about this.
"So it seems you're not that stupid."
With that, Darren dashed towards the little ape at full speed.
"I won't let you!"
With a roar, the little ape immediately set off into the sea.
"Humph, I'm sorry." Darren sneered as his body suddenly turned red.
With his palms, he let out the terrifying power of the Shura Force towards the sea.
In a blink of an eye, the little ape was surrounded.
Darren gathered all his power and flung the little ape's body to the air.
With his right hand, he caught the little ape by the neck and began strangling him. His left hand pinned the little ape's shoulder.
"Let me go!" The little ape struggled desperately. His eyes were wide with fright.
Darren struck the little ape across the face with his palm.
It broke several of the little ape's meridians, rendering his struggles futile.
Of course, Darren had to hold back his full strength to avoid injuring the little ape fatally.
"Hey, old ape, I have your grandson. You better stop now or he'll suffer." Darren's voice reverberated through the air.
In the depths of the void, the old ape and the Rule Soul Avatar were locked in a fierce battle. At this point, the old ape already had the upper hand and was about to deliver his final blow when Darren's voice reached him.
"Oh, no! There's another man!"
The old ape spread out his spiritual sense to check. Sure enough, he detected that his grandson was in the hand of another human.
The old ape didn't want to fight anymore, but he quickly heeded Darren's call.
"Human, let go of my grandson. Otherwise, I'll have to kill all of you even if it means killing myself in the process,"
he snarled, exposing his long fangs.
The air rustled gently as the avatar and the old man flew over.
They all landed beside Darren.
