Chapter 1148 Vigilance (1/2)
Scar's eyelids twitched when he heard the little girl's question.
He came up with a plan.
'Although Darren is a disciple of Lord Starry Sword in the mortal world, no one knows that he has come to the Primitive Wilderness. Maybe the guards in the Starry Sword Region won't find him as long as he is concealed by the secret array and his Starry Tower is in good condition.
Moreover, if I could successfully kill this guy and occupy the Starry Tower, I could even pretend to be a disciple of the Starry Sword Region! Lord Starry Sword's avatars can be found in countless mortal worlds. Surely, he can't remember every disciple. Therefore, the Starry Tower is a marker of identity, '
Scar thought to himself excitedly.
”Ha-ha! This way, Darren. The mountain ahead is our stronghold,” Scar said with a bright smile as he ushered the way for Darren and Elsa.
An hour later, they finally reached the mountain.
”Sister, ask Aidan to set up a secret array.”
”Ha-ha! I knew it,” the girl replied using her spiritual sense. Unconsciously, she curled her lips contemptuously.
Darren saw the little girl's expression inadvertently.
'I think they're up to something, ' Darren thought. He pretended to know nothing, but he could feel that the atmosphere was tense. He tried to remain vigilant like he was walking on eggshells.
”Darren, why are we here? We can just leave,” Elsa asked prudently using her spiritual sense.
”We can't. If we insisted on leaving, they would think that we are afraid of them and would try to fight us. I just have the Starry Tower. Even if I was killed, the Lord Starry Sword may not care, so we have to go with them.
Elsa, I can sense that they are up to something. Let's just play it by ear. Stay alert,” Darren said using his spiritual sense.
”Okay, be careful.” Elsa gave a nod.
Then, they headed forward.
After passing some paths that had been equipped with arrays, Darren and the others finally arrived at their stronghold.
There were many stone houses around a radius of tens of thousands of feet.
Many people went on with their peaceful lives. It looked like a peaceful rural village.
