Chapter 1255 The First Battle (1/2)

After weighing the options, the Rule Soul Avatar chose to retreat.

”Let's go back to the cave,”

he instructed Jenifer, who had obviously lost her judgment.

By then, she had returned to her senses. Tears welled in her eyes as she thought about what had happened. She was utterly freaked out this time.

”Okay,” she replied with a sob.

As the Rule Soul Avatar turned, she took Donovan's hand and marched forward.

It didn't take them long to reach the cave. Once they entered, Jenifer took a deep breath of relief. Almost as soon as she calmed down, fury surged with her.

”What's wrong with the old man? He should go to hell!” she cursed through gritted teeth.

Almost immediately, a black shadow flashed, and the guard in the black robe appeared beside her.

Jenifer was stupefied again.

”I'm sorry, sir. I didn't mean it. I...” she hurried to explain, but the guard raised his hand and gestured her to stop.

”We wanted you to leave a long time ago, but the rules prevented us from forcing you,” he explained.

His justification only confused her more.

A few moments ago, this guard had threatened to kill Darren if he dared to escape. But now, it was also he who expressed that he had wanted Darren to leave. It was inexplicable.

Even the Rule Soul Avatar's expression reflected the confusion coursing through him.

Seeing their puzzled expressions, the guard continued, ”From the day you arrived, the child's identity as the son of a supreme god has aroused the suspicion of most people. It is not safe for him to stay here any longer.

We need you to take him away. But we cannot permit you to leave in broad daylight. Do you understand what I mean?”

The Rule Soul Avatar's eyes widened with understanding.

The guard had forced them to return to conceal the boy's identity and to trick the public. He must have arranged another passage for the three of them to leave.

”What's your plan?” the Rule Soul Avatar questioned.

”Come with me,” instructed the guard. Then with a tearing action, his hands made a space hole in the cave. He cast a backward glance before stepping into the space hole first.

The Rule Soul Avatar followed him unhesitatingly. Jenifer paused. After a moment's contemplation, her grip on Donovan's hand tightened, and then she too stepped forward.

A long time passed and in a deserted mountain, the space suddenly fluctuated.
