"Did I sense it wrong?" he murmured to himself.
The night had almost passed. Dawn was coming, yet the person Darren awaited had yet to appear.
'Maybe I really did overthink this situation. Maybe it's not that complicated, ' he thought to himself, shaking his head. He lowered his sword and started to return to his room.
But he had taken just a few steps when he was hit by a blast of cold wind. It felt as though it had pierced through his bones.
He instantly executed a backhand strike, attacking someone behind him.
There was a loud bang as he hit his target.
The snow danced wildly as a figure jumped away, escaping into the darkness.
"You actually have nine metal meridians?"
said a stunned voice.
"Come out!"
Darren called. His god's sense spread out and covered the surrounding area within a radius of fifty kilometers.
"You brat!"
Suddenly, an old man with white hair flew across the snow and landed in front of Darren.
"I knew you were hiding something! You are stronger than you let on. What are you trying to accomplish by sneaking into our Red Demon Clan? Are you the person behind the disaster that befell the Red Demon Clan yesterday?" demanded the old man.
He released a strong killing intent.
Darren sneered. Finally, the fish had taken the bait. "Stop your baseless accusations! Don't bother to pretend in front of me. You came for this jade token, right?"
As he spoke, Darren took out an ordinary-looking piece of old jade from his storage space unit.
However, he was confused by the genuine look of surprise in the eyes of the white-haired old man.

"I don't know what you are talking about," said Duff brazenly. "Why don't you focus on this guy? He's hidden his true strength and snuck into our Red Demon Clan with unknown intentions. I shouldn't be condemned for trying to kill him! Besides, if you saw everything, then you know that just now Sid also came and attacked this guy."
Duff was referring to the white-haired old man who had attacked Darren first.
Of course, the white-haired old man chose that moment to come upon them. He had followed after Darren as fast as he could. "Sid!" said one of the elders. "Were you also involved in the murder of our own young talents?" The white-haired old man looked around at the elders, Darren, and Duff, completely nonplussed. He had absolutely no idea what was going on.
Darren intervened. "Sirs, I believe this man Sid is innocent. I tested their strength. He is not strong enough to have done it. However, the strength of this man named Duff seems to be just enough to have committed the crime," he said.
"We'll see about that. Right now they will be arrested together!"
An elder took action and created two palm prints of god's power, trying to grab both Duff and Sid simultaneously.
The white-haired old man did not resist. He was easily bound by a palm print.
But Duff was different. A gust of god's power suddenly burst out from his body, rushing towards the other palm print of god's power.
