Chapter 843 Would He Do Anything Bad To Me (2/2)

Everyone then entered the passageway.

”Did your patriarch wake up?” Darren asked the old kylin as soon as they were inside the passage.

The old kylin shook his head. ”Our patriarch is badly ill due to depression. I'm afraid he won't wake up until the prince manages to obtain the inheritance.”

”What about Finley? How is he?”

”He is in closed-door cultivation for now. I believe he has just made a breakthrough recently, so we dar

't know what you are going on about. Why are you so suspicious? I'm a man of principle. How could I kill someone who helped me? You think too much.” Then, Barnes laughed.

”Well then, don't you want to kill your Inner Fiend?”

With these words, Barnes froze in his tracks and the murderous light flared back to life in his eyes.

”I have to kill him.” He spat out as a ferocious aura steadily flowed out of him.

Darren turned around to face Barnes, his confusion evident on his face. ”I don't understand why you two want to kill each other? Aren't you guys from the same origin? Just like my Rule Soul Avatar and I. He is stronger than I am, but as long as I am in danger, he wouldn't hesitate to help me. We get along. So why can't you guys do that?”

Barnes laughed coldly.

”Think of it this way. What if one day, your avatar decides to drive your soul out of your body and occupy it entirely? How would you feel?”

”No, that's impossible for him to do so. He also won't dare,” Darren said confidently.

”Young man, nothing is impossible in this world. You just haven't encountered this because you are still not in that level yet. Once a cultivator reaches a certain level, he starts losing his emotions. He becomes more rational and practical until he is driven by only reason and self-interest.

Someday, your avatar might become like that. I only advise you to be careful.”

Dread descended upon Darren, but he still refused to believe Barnes. ”No, he wouldn't do that. There's absolutely no way.”

Silence fell between them as they flew toward the cave where Finley was. Darren was obviously too preoccupied by the topic. He couldn't help but wonder if his avatar would eventually come to that point as well.
