Chapter 971 Give The Shura's Corpse To Me

Darren turned around and was surprised to see an old man standing behind him.

"It's you! How did you get in?" Startled, he realized that it was the same old man who had caught him.

Since he was the master of the Ancient Void Battlefield, nobody should have been able to enter it without his permission. The mere presence of the old man here stunned him.

"Young man, how come you have a holy emperor's small world?

Oh, wait. It didn't belong to you. You've inherited it from someone," the old man mused, ignoring Darren's incredulity.

"Tell me, how did you get in here?" Darren asked again.

"I just walked in. As you can see, I can enter any world as I wish. I can even get in the one you created and the one you inherited."

This old man had locked up Darren and his two companions for some time now. A moment ago, he had wanted to make them do some heavy work for him. But when he came to the place where the three were locked, Darren had been gone. All that was left was a mysterious world that was as small as a grain of sand. Without second thoughts, he decided to enter it.

Darren could only imagine how powerful the old man was to be able to follow him here.

"Please have a seat, sir."

Trying to calm himself down, he conjured a stone table and chair for the old man to sit down on.

"If I may ask, what is your name? You see, we made a mistake in killing the spiritual beast of heaven and earth because we thought it was a wild thing. Please be magnanimous and spare us. It was all a misunderstanding," Darren said, apologetically.

"Humph! My name is none of your business. But the beast, on the other... I can feel my blood boil just by the mere thought of its death. That beast is my favorite. How dare you send your companions to kill it! You shall be responsible for this crime." The old man sat down, but his face was impassive and cold as ice.

Darren was speechless, not daring to speak up to the old man out of fear.

"Young man, why do you have such a corpse? With your strength, you would have been crushed by his power from kilometers away. I find it odd that you're able to move this body without breaking." The old man pointed at the floating Shura corpse over their heads.

"To be honest, the corpse has always been in this world ever since I inherited it," Darren lied.

The old man frowned at that and said, "This ice bed is made out of the magic ice from heaven. It can protect a body for millions of years and the body won't

om it," the old man said.

"Sir, are you trying to force me to stay here? You can't go back on your words now."

"That won't matter. If I get angry, I can always just kill you directly."

Darren gave a bland smile and said, "I don't dare offend you, sir. But since you ask me to stay, I have no choice but to obey. Although, I have one small request. If you refuse, I'd rather die than let you use my ice bed."

Seeing how the old man was so keen on making him stay, Darren had a feeling that his ice bed was of great importance to him. But in his eyes, Darren was only a nobody he could kill. The only thing stopping him was the fact that Darren was the only one who could access the ice bed.

"How dare you bargain with me?"

"It's not a bargain, sir. I'm asking for a favor," Darren corrected.

"All right. Tell me what you want then." The old man finally conceded to Darren's request.

Darren was thoughtful for a while before saying, "Sir, can you please tell me how powerful your cultivation base is? If your cultivation base is too low, I shall go look for someone else who is stronger."

"Humph, how dare you question my cultivation base? Listen to me carefully. No more than ten people in this area can stand three moves in a fight against me. Do you understand?" The old man puffed out his chest, proudly.

"Are you saying that even the giant apes on the shore are not your match?" Darren could feel the thrill creeping up to him.

"Indeed, I can crush those apes to death with just one finger."

Delighted, Darren reckoned that the old man might be an ancient emperor. Otherwise, he wouldn't be as confident as he was now.
