Chapter 1054 The Way Out (1/2)

Back in the eighteen cities

Darren was staying inside the secret room. He was trying to come up with ways to get out of there, but he had no idea at the moment.

”Darren, are you here?”

An anxious voice came into Darren's head.

”What's up, Governor Garth?” Darren could hardly hide his annoyance for being disturbed.

”I have some bad news. Come out!” Garth said.

Darren stood up and walked out of the secret room.

”What is it?” he asked, frowning.

”I just received big news from the forbidden areas. It seems like the fiend's three body parts have escaped.”

”What?”

Darren's face darkened upon hearing the news.

This was bad indeed. When two body parts of the fiend had merged together, the fiend's strength was at the primary stage of the Emperor Realm. If three merged, it would increase to the middle stage of the Emperor Realm. Even Darren wouldn't be able to defeat him.

As far as he knew, the strongest people outside were only within the Holy Realm. Nobody had the power to fight the first fiend ancestor.

”When did this happen?” Darren asked, urgently.

”It's been years. Fortunately, Barnes guards the forbidden areas. The fiend can't get close there. And since he has some restrictions placed on him, he can't just kill anyone.”

”How did you know that?” Darren suddenly remembered something, and now he couldn't help but wonder why the Governor was well-informed about the outside world.

”There's an old rule cultivator who has been trying to connect to the outside world all these years. He had finally succeeded a few days ago. That's how we got the news,” Garth explained.

”Take me to him. I have some important things to say.”

”Okay.”

Garth took Darren up to a barren mountain.

There was a bamboo forest.
