Everyone in the living room was Darryl's close friend or family member, so they instantly recognized the voice to be Darryl's. Shocked, they shot up from their seats and quickly rushed out of the room. Their minds went blank, and their eyes began to brim with tears when they saw the handsome and tall man with a playful smile on his lips standing outside.'Is it really him? Am I dreaming?' They rubbed their eyes in disbelief and looked at him again. 'It's really him! It's Darryl! He's still alive!'"Brother Chester! Dax! Yvette! Yvonne!" Darryl shouted as he looked at them one after another. His heart was filled with joy, and the tears began to stream down his cheeks. Three years—it had been three long years! He had missed everyone in the Nine Mainland so much. He could not keep his emotions in check when he was finally reunited with them."Darryl!""Well, I'll be damned."Chester and Dax finally snapped back to their senses when Darryl called their names. Shock and happiness col

Darryl smiled, and they went inside. After everyone took their seat, he began to tell them all that had happened to him. He omitted the part about his status as the Nine Heaven Sage and also about Archfiend Antigonus. He did not want them to be too shocked. It took everyone quite a while to come around Darryl had finished his story.Chester was the first to snap out of his shock. "Darry, you're really lucky to be alive. I can't believe the Nine Heaven Emperor didn't punish you and even let you come back here."Darryl smiled and said, "I have the Ghost Valley Sage to thank for that. If it weren't for him, I would still be stuck there."He could not tell them about what really happened to the Ghost Valley Sage since he did not mention the part about him being the Nine Heaven Sage. Fortunately, Chester seemed to be satisfied with his answer. After all, the Ghost Valley Sage was the most outstanding person in the world, so it was not too far-fetched to say that the Nine Heaven Emperor l

Cranos took a deep breath and said, "Don't ask any questions and just follow me."There was an unprecedented sense of solemnity on his face. Then, he entered the passage with a confused Skylar following from behind him. Skylar gasped as soon as he stepped foot into the passage. He saw countless steps, but he did not know where it led as there was no end in sight. He would not even be surprised if they arrived at the center of the earth. The further they went, the more spacious the surroundings became. He never thought there was a cave beneath the manor. That made him even more confused. After walking for a while, they came to a passage blocked by a layer of rippling forcefield. It was filled with strange power fluctuations."Father, what is that?" Skylar asked. "An enchanted barrier," Cranos answered him. Skylar was about to ask something else when he saw that Cranos had already passed through the enchanted barrier. He quickly followed after him. After crossing the barrier,

Cranos tried to keep his excitement in check. He stared intently at Skylar and said, "Skylar, it is our duty to inherit our forefather's fiend soul and find His Excellency, the Archfiend. You're a natural-born talent, the most outstanding in your generation, and my heir. Therefore, I entrust this mission to you."Skylar took a deep breath and stood there, speechless, for a while. He could not calm the storm in his heart. It would be impossible for anyone to stay calm after all that. He had always felt there was more to the reason for his family's self-imposed isolation, but he never expected it to be something so shocking."What should I do now, Father?" Skylar asked when he finally processed everything.Cranos looked at the floating fiend soul and said, "Integrate the fiend soul's power into your body. Don't worry. We are the descendants of a fiend, which means our physique is different from ordinary people. Therefore, we can withstand its power.""Just how powerful is it?" Skylar

Soon, all the guests arrived and waited for Rogart to make his entrance. Suddenly, there was a sudden commotion at the banquet's entrance. All eyes turned to the source of the commotion and what they saw stunned them. A man and a woman were walking into the room. The man looked handsome and cold, and the woman was graceful and beautiful. They were none other than Darryl and Debra. During their meeting at the Carter Manor, everyone decided for Debra to accompany Darryl to the celebration feast. She was the Artemis Sect's former sect master, and she was strong and possessed exceptional diplomatic skills. She should be able to help Darryl make any decisions at critical moments. Debra's beauty enthralled many men. She was the goddess of the Great East, and she was dressed in a bright-pink dress which accentuated her perfect and sexy figure. The s-shaped curve of her body almost drove the men crazy. "Gorgeous! She's absolutely gorgeous!""She's the Artemis Sect's former sect maste
