Chapter 931 Enter The Holy Emperor's Tomb

"Are you all right?" Hailey asked indifferently. However, the concern in her eyes was rather evident.

"I'm fine. Thanks." Darren nodded calmly. In truth, he actually felt a bit embarrassed.

A lump came into Hailey's throat. "Where is Elsa?" she asked after a moment of silence. "Is she okay?"

Hailey had spent some time with Elsa, but she chose to leave silently when Elsa and Darren had reconciled.

Hearing Elsa's name, Darren gave a bitter smile.

"No."

"What happened? Did you two get into a fight?" Hailey asked.

"No. It's a long story. We can talk about it later." At the moment, Darren didn't want to say anything more about the matter.

Hailey felt that Darren didn't want to talk about it, so she had no choice but to drop the topic. She thought for a while and continued, "Don't you want to know how I gained my strength?"

"Well, I already have an idea. You must have had a lot of adventures. Anyway, my friends are still there. I have to go and find them," Darren said, turning around to leave. "See you later," he added.

There was nothing Hailey could do but stand frozen in place. The way Darren was acting so coldly towards her made her want to cry.

A gentle gust of wind blew over; she watched as his figure fly away slowly. A part of Hailey wanted to call out to Darren. 'Stay here for a while longer, ' she thought. But she did not have the courage to say those words out loud.

"Hailey, are you and Darren...?"

Anthony suddenly appeared behind Hailey.

"What do you want to know?" Hailey said, her lips pressed into a fine line.

"Nothing." Anthony felt that there was something going on between Darren and Hailey, but thought that it wasn't worth mentioning. "You've exposed your real strength, Hailey," he said, quickly changing the subject. "I'm afraid you can't partake in the superior talent contest."

"Why not?"

"If you participate, I'm afraid the other cities will send some elders to kill you. The fights between the eighteen cities have lasted for many years. Once a super genius is born, he or she will be killed in order not to break the balance. You must be careful in the future."

"Got it," replied Hailey indifferently. Then she turned around and l

hem. I have one. It's enough for us to get in," he said.

Darren felt Anthony was a good man. He had saved them when they were in danger, so it was alright to let him enter the tomb with them. Even though something had happened between Darren and Hailey, Darren had already forgiven her. Because of this, he thought that it would be fine if he let her come along.

Anthony was surprised to hear what Darren said.

"Darren, how did you get the bead? I saw three flying away just now," asked Anthony in confusion.

"Look," Darren said as he took out a black bead.

Anthony took the bead from Darren, his eyes widening. "It really is a Blood Suppressing Bead. That's amazing!"

Darren laughed and turned to him. "I got it by accident. It's no big deal."

"It is a big deal. It saves us the trouble of having to fight others for it," Anthony smiled as he gave the bead back to Darren.

"Darren, I suggest that we don't rush to enter the tomb. Let's wait and see who will get the beads," Anthony said.

"I agree with you. After entering the holy emperor's tomb, there will be a fierce battle. We should check out the strength of those who will enter the tomb."

"Ha-ha, Darren, I'm glad we're both on the same page!"

Then they flew out, releasing their spiritual sense to probe those who were fighting for the beads.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A trembling sound echoed in the air. Dazzling light rushed to the sky. A fierce, cruel battle had torn the void apart.
