"Wait!"
Ryan of Heaven Lake Sect panicked. The other side had four people, who were as powerful as him, and his team had a junior sister apprentice. Once the battle began, she would be a burden. That would mean that he and the young man in blue would fight against four equally powerful people. There was no chance of winning.
"Do you really want to oppose the Heaven Lake Sect because of the words of this kid?"
"Cut the crap. When has Golden Sacred Sect ever been friendly with you? You brought a stupid woman and revealed your precious treasure inadvertently. Hah!"
"So, we have no other choice?" The young man in blue frowned.
"Now that you're about to lose your life, don't you think it's funny to talk about choices?" the young man from the Crimson Sea Sect said coldly.
"Kill him!"
Suddenly, the battle broke out. A strange wave of Fringe Holy Will exploded in the air.
"Wait! I will hand over the Holy Will Pill. Let us go!"
Ryan drew back swiftly and took out a pill that was surrounded by fluorescent light from his spatial treasure.
"Let you go? Do you think that is a reasonable request?"
Darren stepped forward and asked.
"My senior fellow apprentice is offering to hand over his treasure. What else do you want?" The woman was so scared that she almost cried.
"Humph! My two senior fellow apprentices and the brothers from the Crimson Sea Sect want to kill you. I am inviting trouble if I let you go after I take your treasure.
I know what you are thinking. You are going to save your lives first, and then, you will tell powerful people to avenge you. Am I right?" Darren said calmly.
"Bullshit!" the young man in blue roared. Then he blurted, "You have no right to speak here. You silly dog."
Ryan glared at Darren resentfully. Then he turned to the other four and said respectfully, "Guys, I promise you that I will not avenge myself after I return. We will forget everything and pretend that none of this happened. Please trust me."
Ryan feigned being calm and humble to save his life. To have to promise not to seek revenge after being robbed was the greatest humiliation he had suffered in his life.
"You can lie to naive children. You were so arrogant just now that I can tell that you are not a good person. Why won't you take revenge? Maybe, one day, you will find out our whereabouts and then you will ambush us."
Then, Darren turned to the other four and said, "Sirs, one enemy in the dark is already hard to deal with. Why should we allow another hostile force to live? They will not stop unless we kill them."
"You are right," The young man from the Golden Sacred Sect nodded before turning to order the others, "Kill all of them!"
Boom!
The Fringe Holy Will began to bloom as the two young men from the Golden Sacred Sect rushed straight toward Ryan and his associates.
"We need to join the fight, too. We can't let them get the Holy Will Pill first."
At that thought, the two young men from the Crimson Sea Sect also rushed to join the battle.
"Should we take this opportunity to escape, Darren?"
Since the fight was at its peak, it was a good chance for Darren and Isaac to disappear.
"We are in no hurry. If we run now, they will still have the energy to chase us. Once they figure out that I tricked them and drove a wedge between them, these disciples probably will fight us.
Besides, it will be a pity if we don't take the Holy Will Pill," Darren said with a faint smile.
"Well, that makes sense. Let's wait and see for a while," Isaac nodded.
"Why don't you join the battle? Are you thinking of escaping?"
A young man dressed in golden robes questioned Darren and Isaac.
The four disciples in the battle were not stupid. They were aware that their fighting capacity would diminish once they entered this battle against the Heaven Lake Sect. They also knew that they would even guard and fight against each other to get possession of the Holy Will Pill. Because of their intentions, they were paranoid that Darren and Isaac would take advantage of their weakened state.
"Humph! If you don't move, I will kill you two first," the young man from the Crimson Sea Sect shouted at Darren.
"Don't worry. I'll join,"
Darren said as he rushed forward.
"What about me, Darren?" Isaac asked, using his spiritual sense so that only Darren could hear.
"Just wait there. After a while, they will know that neglecting you was their greatest mistake," Darren said through his spiritual sense. Then, he joined the battle.
