Chapter 1057 The Inner Fiend Wants To Be A Slave (2/2)
”Please hear me out.” Deep inside, the Inner Fiend was panicking. His desperation had urged him to continue, ”My purpose for cooperating with the first fiend ancestor is to assimilate Barnes and become an eight-tribulation senior holy warrior.”
”Cut the crap. We know that already.” It was the Water Kylin who spoke. His fangs were bared, and he waved his claws in the air threateningly.
The Inner Fiend's face crumpled in anger. The corners of his lips were pulled down and his nose was all scrunched up. However, he restrained his fury because he knew he was too weak to fight them off any longer.
”If it were up to me, I wouldn't have cooperated with the first fiend ancestor in the first place. He's dangerous, and I think you know what I mean,” the Inner Fiend said.
Darren remained silent. Finley glanced at him briefly before asking, ”Are you saying
id and specific to the point of being terrifying.
Darren laughed and shook his head. ”That's because you aren't as strong as he is. If he becomes an eight-tribulation senior holy warrior, the rule that bounds him as my slave would become unstable. Who knows maybe he can break it eventually.
Besides, we have no proof yet that Barnes is targeting the human race. Maybe he won't? Maybe he will? It's all just conjecture. If Barnes really wants to help the human race, but we simply capture him and give him to his enemy, do you think it's fair to him? It's not my style to do such a thing.
Lastly, if the Inner Fiend really wants to submit to me, then will it matter if I suppress him for some time? If Barnes turns out to be a threat to us, I'll go to the Inner Fiend for help. I'm sure he'll concede to my request once he is suppressed for some time. In this way, he'll be more sincere.”
”Master, you are indeed wise. You really have it all, don't you,” the Water Kylin said, amazed at Darren's explanation.
There was no rush in accepting the Inner Fiend's offer. After all, he was still under Darren's mercy whether they accepted it or not.
”Let's head back to the Sacred Palace. The Inner Fiend has finally been suppressed, while the first fiend ancestor won't be able to get close to the forbidden areas to save the rest of his body parts. We should be fine for now,” Darren said. He and the Water Kylin then flew away together.
”Oh no!” The Water Kylin stopped all of a sudden and turned to Darren. Worry was etched on his face. ”What if the first fiend ancestor comes after us and tries to save the Inner Fiend after we leave the forbidden area?”
