The Ghost Valley Sage smiled and said, "I've already made up my mind. There's no use in trying to convince me otherwise." His tone was determined though his face was a little pale. He had sustained some internal injuries and was sure he would not be able to hold out much longer if another Heavenly Thunderbolt struck him. Still, he was willing to do anything to ensure Darryl's safety. The Nine Heaven Emperor's face darkened when he heard that. He would not suffer any public humiliation like that. The entire Ghost Mountain was deathly quiet as everyone locked their eyes on the Ghost Valley Sage. He brought out a mixed bag of feelings in them. They could not believe that he would defy the Nine Heaven Emperor again and again. The atmosphere became unbearably suffocating, and the officials, soldiers, and generals dared not breathe too loudly. Grunt took a step forward, pointed at the Ghost Valley Sage, and shouted, "Is this how you repay His Majesty's kindness? He has given you chances

The dust storm lasted for a full ten minutes. They could finally see the situation at hand when the dust finally settled. The soldiers and generals gasped when they saw the scene, and the Immortal Venerable Balman trembled.The entire Ghost Mountain had been razed to the ground by the thunderbolts, and there was a vast crater, measuring three thousand meters wide and three hundred meters deep, in the middle of the ground. A scorched body bathed in blood was in the crater. It was a truly pitiful sight to see. "Ghost Valley Sage!" the Immortal Venerable Balman shouted. It had hurt him immensely to see him like that. Suddenly, Grunt rushed into the crater to check on the Ghost Valley Sage. In a loud trembling voice, he said, "Your Majesty, he's still alive."He was unbelievably shocked! Was he even human? How could he have survived the thousands of Heavenly Thunderbolts?An uproar broke up amongst the officials, soldiers, and generals. "He's still alive?""Man, he's tough!"T

Their sadness was mixed with hatred as they turned to look at Darryl. They were doing fine in the battle before he came along. The Red Sparrow Queen was dead because of him, and they had no choice but to surrender to the White Tiger King. There was no way he could wash his hands of that. However, they could not do anything to him with the White Tiger King present. The White Tiger King was in good spirits. He waved his hand and said, "From now on onward, we're all family! Come, let's toast to that!" For thousands of years, the White Tiger King had always viewed the Red Sparrow Queen as a thorn on his side, and he was pleased that the thorn had finally been removed. Everyone, including Darryl, raised their glasses and drank from them. Even though he was smiling, he found the whole thing insufferable.Suddenly, the slender Peacock Lilibet stood up and said softly, "Your Excellency the White Tiger King, shall we have a little entertainment to spice things up a little?" All eyes turn

Many of the Flying Feather Alliance members broke out in cold sweat. The enchantment barrier of that place contained powerful energy, and the condensed energy was comparable to a bolt of real lightning. One hit from it would surely cripple or even kill anyone. Darryl was frowning, and his eyes were filled with respect for Peacock Lilibet. She might have looked fragile, but she was definitely courageous.The entire mountain top was already shrouded in lightning, but Peacock Lilibet effortlessly floated between them. She stopped at the mountain top and then quickly made her way back. Within a few seconds, she was already back at the stone castle, and she had an Echeveria peacockii in her hands. It was apparent the lightning had not struck her at all; there was not a wound on her body.The Flying Feathers Alliance members erupted in a loud cheer, and even the White Tiger King and the other Beast Alliance members were nodding their heads in admiration. "Way to go, Peacock Lilibet! You

Yes, Darryl had used the Power of Bird Ancestor. He would not even have accepted the challenge if he did not have that. He was well aware of how extraordinary the Power of Bird Ancestor was, so he did not panic when Peacock Lilibet threw the challenge at him.He unleashed the Power of Bird Ancestor only when he was at the mountain top. He was dodging between the thunderbolts that ordinary people would not avoid. However, Darryl's speed was many times faster than the speed of light. He kept on dodging while picking the Echeveria peacockii quickly. At the same time, back at the stone castle, Tiger Ben had turned his gaze away from the direction of the mountain top. He thought that a thunderbolt had struck Darryl—all he could see was him drowned in the thunderstorm. That really saddened him."His Excellency is just too stubborn. What a pity…" the White Tiger King muttered to himself. His words were belied by the fact that his eyes were twinkling with coldness. Even though he thought D
