Just then, Antigonus cast another glance at Yvonne as he continued. "Don't you know it's rude to break and enter someone else's office?"Antigonus had heard everything that was said between Yvonne and Zhu before he came in and deduced that they knew each other. Thus, he was highly defensive.Zhu laughed heartily, not sparing a moment of hesitation. "Haha! Don't bother racking your brain trying to figure it out. The name's Zhu Bajie. I'm friends with Yvonne, and I don't think it was very nice of you to lock her in this closet. How do you think we should settle this?"As he spoke, Zhu plonked himself down into the main office chair with arrogance written all over his handsome face.The truth was that Zhu's chest was filled with wariness then. He clearly sensed that the man was incredibly powerful, even more so than Emperor Hou Yi, whom he had greatly revered. Antigonus did not wait for an answer. Instead, he smirked, condensing the energy around him before exploding and landing a b
All that could be seen were the three figures locked in a heated battle, zipping through the air in the office and sending ripples of energy around them.Wendy could hear the ruckus from outside, but she was too afraid to enter.…Over on another end, in the Cryolet Continent.After using the Garans to scare off Kendra, Darryl sat down and meditated to rest.Upon getting enough rest, Darryl asked the Garans a few more questions. After that, he walked out of the main hall.After looking around the surrounding towers and being unable to find any important leads, Darryl continued to search inside.After walking for a while, he saw a chasm that seemed to hold hidden power. The chasm was about a hundred meters wide, and it appeared bottomless. It was lined with a chain bridge.Across the chain bridge was a giant space. Where the bridge and the space connected was a gigantic plaque. The plaque was a little over ten meters tall, and appeared to sparkle in the sunlight from afar. It wa
The Gold Seal Scripture was a form of text unique to the Godly Region. Being the Nine Heaven Sage, as well as a Royal Master, of course, he would know of it.Oh?Kendra was startled when she saw Darryl's reaction. "Can you read what's on there?"She had never seen text like it before, but he had recognized it at first glance.To think that he knew how to open the Heavenly Secret Lock, how to talk to beasts, and he could even read such complicated text.How many other secrets did the man hold?Sensing Kendra's shock, Darryl smiled lightly. "Yes, a little. This is the Gold Seal Scripture, a long-lost form of text. I can't believe I'm seeing it here."He most certainly could not tell her that the scripture was special to the Godly Scripture. Otherwise, his identity would be exposed for sure.Kendra nodded in realization and hurried to ask, "Well, what does it say?" There had to be something going on with a plaque that big that was filled with words placed in such a prominent pla
Kendra would not have been that anxious if it was anyone else. However, Darryl was different. Even though he had zero abilities, he was still well versed in everything else.Kendra felt secure around Darryl even when they were in great predicaments. They were able to solve it easily.Her plan was to invite Darryl to investigate the realm with her, and if they found any treasure, they would split it. Since the Red Shirt Crusade men wanted to take him away, Kendra was naturally unwilling.Friend?Darryl did not react to Kendra's words, but internally, he snickered to himself.Kendra was such a hypocrite. She wanted to kill him just moments ago. She only referred to him as a friend after knowing he could be useful to her.However, Darryl was aware that Mahoney was not a good man either.Mahoney frowned and said to Kendra, "That's not right, Miss Kendra. I saw it from afar when we were crossing the bridge. You waved your sword around at him, wanting to attack. If you were truly frie
Darryl smiled lightly as he pointed at the plaza behind the stone steele and said, "The inscriptions on the steele said that we have to go through this plaza to have a great discovery."Darryl spoke in all seriousness, but his eyes were filled with doubt.The inscriptions mentioned that going through the plaza was the only way, but Darryl had doubts that it hid some truth from them—the truth being that the plaza in front of them was hidden with mysteries.From a distance, it looked normal, but upon closer inspection, every single stone steele in the plaza was arranged in an order.Darryl noticed it when they crossed the chain bridge earlier.When he saw that, the first thing that popped into his mind was the ancient tomb of Lu Bu that they discovered years ago. There was also a plaza before they went through the final Grand Spiritual Treasure Palace.That plaza was filled with stone steeles, and every steele had its own unique pattern. It looked harmless, but it was actually a da
Mahoney and the Red Shirt Crusade had no idea what Darryl's true intentions were. They were all excited after hearing Darryl's solution."That was close. We almost fell for the trap.""That's right. Luckily Darryl stopped us before it was too late."Mahoney was ecstatic. He said to Darryl, "All thanks to you, my brother. Otherwise, we would've made a grave mistake."Mahoney said to his people, "Did everyone hear what Darryl said? Quickly form into a formation and follow his instructions. Five steps forward, three steps right, move slowly.""I'll kill anyone that takes the wrong step and activates the trap."The Red Shirt Crusade quickly moved into a formation and headed toward the plaza cautiously.Darryl snickered quietly as he followed closely behind.At first, everything was peaceful, and nothing happened. However, at about five hundred meters, the steele that the first man of the Red Shirt Crusade stepped on rumbled.Everyone stopped in their tracks, and their faces were d
Darryl pretended to look around and acted as if he had made some discovery and exclaimed, "Woah, the people who set the traps sure are a cunning bunch.""What makes you say that?" Asked Mahoney."The traps shifted from the previous path, we can no longer follow the old instructions," said Darryl."I think the people who did this had deduced that some people might be able to solve it, so they decided to switch to a completely different one in the middle."Darryl was just spewing nonsense at that point, trying to tease Mahoney.F*ck!Mahoney cussed, "Those people are devious, they're just trying to wipe us all out at this point!" Mahoney asked again, "Well… Then, how should we proceed?"He had no idea that he had been played.Phew!Darryl took a deep breath in and pretended to look at the oath ahead and contemplated, "since the mechanism had shifted completely, we have to switch our path as well. If my deduction is correct, we should be able to proceed with four steps forward
Mahoney nodded in agreement and gestured for everyone to be cautious.Swoosh!At that instance, a pillar of fire gushed from beneath the first man, that man had no chance to react before he got burned into a pile of ash."Argh…"The rest of the men were lit up by fire as they cried out in pain and jumped around in an attempt to put out the fire, however, some of them had stepped on the other steeles by accident.Whoosh…A few more pillars of flames gushed out, swallowing some of the men from the Red Shirt Crusade. The flames went out and revealed a few bodies that had been charred unrecognizable.Mahoney and the rest of his me gulped nervously, their faces were filled with pure terror.The traps went from arrows to now pillars of flames, they dared not to imagine what they might encounter next.Mahoney was terrified and infuriated, he looked at Darryl coldly and asked, "Didn't you mention arrows? Why did it become flames?"D*mn, did that fella really know anything about the t
