"Let's go, now!"Darryl did not hesitate, gesturing for Yvette and the rest to immediately flee the scene.At that moment, Lunaris smirked sinisterly and charged toward Darryl."Darryl, where do you think you are going?"Lunaris was fast. He caught up to them in the blink of an eye. He uttered with a half-smile, "His Majesty had ordered for you to come with me." Lunaris grabbed Darryl's arm in an instant.It turned out that Lunaris' main intention was to seize Darryl and not to get into a fight with the three Fiend Martyrs. What an impressive trick!Crap!Darryl did not have time to dodge him; his arm went numb instantly. He did not have any more energy left in him.It was near impossible to seize Darryl with Lunaris' ability. Still, because Darryl had used the Great Fayette Takeover's power earlier, his body was drained of energy to fight back.After seizing Darryl, Lunaris did not hesitate for another second as he ascended and disappeared into the sky."Darryl!""Darryl!"

"Your Majesty!"Lunaris General strode in quickly with Darryl in tow. He bowed respectfully. "I've returned, Your Majesty."As he spoke, Lunaris General shoved Darryl onto the floor. Darryl had been bound with spiritual strength and thus could not move at all. He looked incredibly awkward.In the blink of an eye, everyone's gazes in the Imperial Sky Palace fell onto Darryl.Everyone looked slightly puzzled, including the Nine Heaven Emperor and the officials. Who was that man with a face full of red marks?"Lunaris General."The Nine Heaven Emperor quickly snapped back to his senses, asking with a frown, "Did you get anything from the Nine Mainland? And who is that?"Due to the blood-red marks on Darryl's face, the Nine Heaven Emperor and the officials did not recognize him at first glance."Your Majesty."Lunaris General saluted respectfully. "This is Darryl Darby. I found out that the fiend race killed him, but he was reborn. That's why his face looks like that."Lunaris Ge

"Interesting."The Nine Heaven Emperor scoffed and said, "I can't believe you're that lucky to be able to be reborn through the Red Lotus Fayette. But you're being selfish and not thinking about the Ancient Ancestor's safety by not telling me anything. Well, I'm not going to go easy on you."As he spoke, the Nine Heaven Emperor turned to address Lunaris General. "Hold him captive in the Sky Prison. We'll decide what to do with him when we find out where the Ancient Ancestor is.""Yes, Your Majesty!"Lunaris General strode toward him. He addressed a few soldiers and had Darryl dragged out of the Imperial Sky Palace to the Sky Prison.Just then, the entire Imperial Sky Palace fell silent. The looks on all the officials' faces were ice-cold; none of them felt sorry for Darryl.After all, Darryl was never a member of the Godly Region—he was from the Nine Mainland. There had been great disdain among the officials when the Ancient Ancestor had made him Nine Heavens Sage. When they saw

The Ancient Ancestor's fairy soul was in the hands of Archfiend Antigonus. Of course, Yvette was more than shocked."Thoth, Ganon."Just as Yvette was exclaiming to herself, Archfiend Antigonus addressed the other two Fiend Martyrs. "Who is this lady you have brought here?" As he spoke, he sized Yvette up.Under his terrifying stare, Yvette trembled lightly. It was as if he could see right through her."Your Majesty!"Thoth scrambled to answer. "Her name's Yvette Lane. She's a princess of the New World Royals, and she has Janson's inheritance. She's also a fiend descendant."As he spoke, an unreadable expression passed through Thoth's features. "But she's also Darryl Darby's lover. She's been plotting against the fiend race this entire time."A fiend descendant and Darryl Darby's lover?Archfiend Antigonus' expression darkened. He said, "Alright, I understand. You've both worked hard. You're dismissed. Go get some rest.""Yes, Your Majesty."Thoth and Ganon called out in unis

At the same time, the Nine Heaven Emperor and the officials could hardly believe their eyes.What was Empress Nuwa trying to do?The Ancient Ancestor's fairy soul was with the fiend race. If anything happened to the representative they sent to discuss affairs, would the fairy soul not be in even more danger?"You—"Blaise glowered at Empress Nuwa despite not being able to move at all. "What is the meaning of this? I came in peace to offer you a deal and nothing else. Aren't you afraid of what the fiends might do to the Ancient Ancestor's fairy soul if you hurt me?"Blaise's expression was one of absolute righteousness, but his chest pounded uncomfortably.Blaise knew that Empress Nuwa was a woman who did not take things lightly. She never made decisions she was unsure of. In any situation, she would be the last person to act rashly, but she had used force at that moment. That implied that she had a plan against the fiend race in mind. F*ck. If that were the case, he would be sc
