Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 58

After waiting for a few minutes, as expected, Kerr came back with the head of a fiend.

"Sir, I destroyed his camp and killed all his people." Then, he tossed the head away.

"Well done. You have avenged the villagers. Let's go." Darren nodded and turned to Lindsay. "Princess Lindsay, please take Otis and Kerr into your space. By the way, where are my mutated subordinates? Why haven't they come out yet?"

"Don't worry. The vortex they're in has the functions to transform body and soul. Once they get out, they will be recovered and will regain their strength," Otis said.

"Transform the body and soul? Do you mean that they will become fiends?" Darren asked.

"No, they won't become fiends. They can only be a half-fiend. This is the best result for them. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to survive," Otis explained briefly.

"Well, it doesn't matter as long as their lives are saved." Darren didn't think too much about it.

"All right. Let's go." Lindsay had been in hiding for many years, so she couldn't wait to see the outside world.

"Wait, hold up. Otis, one of my subordinates secretly went to drink the water from the river that you mentioned. He hasn't returned yet. Let me find him first." One of the four humans who followed Darren offered to try and drink the water. Ever since then, he had not come back. Thus, Darren had to look for him.

Half an hour later, Darren came back with a long face.

"Have you found him, sir?"

"I found his body." His subordinate had been killed, so Darren had to bury him somewhere.

"I'm sorry, Darren. Let's go," Otis said dismissively. From his voice, Darren could tell that Otis was indifferent to death, as if he had grown accustomed to it.

Immediately afterwards, Otis and Kerr entered Lindsay's space. Darren and Lindsay flew up, and headed towards the territory of the human race.

The two of them flew cautiously for a few months before they finally arrived at their destination.

As soon as they set foot in the territory of the human race, they picked up their speed. After all, they didn't need to worry about fiends there.

"Darren, I want to give you something special," Lindsay said mysteriously while they were flying.

"What?" Darren turned his head around.

"In exchange, you can give me the fragments that are used to make a level-nine divine weapon." Lindsay was still thinking about the materials.

"Well, don't even think about fooling me. I won't give them to you," Darren said with a smile. 'I'm sure she's trying to deceive me, ' he thought.

"What I have in my hand is something that will be very helpful to you. Are you sure you won't regret not having it? If you don't believe me, I can show it to you now." As she spoke, a grey bead appeared in her hand.

To Darren, the bead was just an ordinary stone. It didn't even contain any godly energy!

"Okay. Tell me why it is helpful to me." Flying was boring anyway, so Darren wanted to make fun of her.

"You don't believe me?" Being good at gauging people's minds, Lindsay had already known that Darren wouldn't believe her unless she showed him the bead's potential.

"No, I don't believe you."

"What a pity. This bead was very precious to my father. If you own it, you can avoid many troubles," she said.

"What is it used for?" Darren rolled his eyes at her.

"To tell you the truth, this rare bead can block your aura as a Defiant Master, and can also change your appearance at will!"

"Really? It is amazing." Darren's heart skipped a beat. If the bead really had such an ability as Lindsay described, it would be priceless to him.

"Let me show you." Lindsay tossed the grey bead over Darren, and the bead fell on his chest.

"You're silly. Those are the flying boats of the emissaries from the different regions and sects." Lindsay was not surprised to see them at all.

"Emissaries?" Darren was still confused.

"Every ten years, emissaries from all regions will come to the Ancestral Land to select gifted disciples. Don't you know that?" Lindsay stared at Darren as if he was an idiot.

Darren thought for a while. He remembered the old man in the Ancestral Land had announced that after a ten-year period of cultivation, people from various sects and regions would come to select the most suitable disciples.

"I knew that." Darren nodded and thought about his friends. 'How are they now?'

Besides, Darren was still considering whether he would inform Finley and the others about his identity once he arrived at the Ancestral Land.

'I'd better not to tell them, ' he decided.

In the distance, they caught sight of a magnificent palace that towered straight into the sky. It was the symbol of the Ancestral Land.

"The emissary of the Ganges Sect, Yale, pays his visit to the Ancestral Land." In front of them, several guards in black robes questioned the arriving emissaries. The emissaries showed their tokens before they were allowed entry into the Ancestral Land.

"The emissary of the Styx Sect, Victor, pays his visit to the Ancestral Land."

"Pass." After inspecting their identity tokens, the guards authorized them to enter the gate one by one.

Darren saw the situation from afar, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"I'm afraid we can't get in the Ancestral Land." Darren frowned.

"Humph. It's a good thing I'm here with you. Otherwise, you can't set foot in it." Lindsay gave Darren a smug look, as if to say, 'You are so lucky to have me around.'
