As the words rang through the air, everyone else looked at Darryl expectantly.They knew well enough that if the news of them not being saved got out, the reputation of both the Heavenly Ocean Sect and the North Star Galaxy would be thoroughly ruined.Save you?Seeing Martin change his demeanor so suddenly, Darryl could not help but chuckle. "You want me to save you? What did you say earlier? Didn't you just accuse me of forming an alliance with the True Flame Sect?"Uhh…Embarrassment washed over everyone as they grew increasingly anxious.The next second, Martin said in a placating tone, "Master Darby, that was truly my fault. I don't know what came over me that made me say that. I'm serious, we're all doomed if you don't save us."Martin was apologizing then, but his chest throbbed with resentment.'F*ck! I'm still the Head Elder at the end of the day! How dare you find fault with me in front of everyone?! Just you wait, I'm going to make you regret all of this.'Evan could
Darryl Darby was far too much. How was that considered saving them? It was clear he tried to blackmail them.Darryl sighed softly at their responses. "It appears you can't fulfill either one of my two requests. Alright, you take care then."As he spoke, he pretended to wave Rachelle over, signaling to leave.Just then, Evan took a deep breath, calling out quickly, "Wait! Sect Master Darryl, we'll agree to both conditions."His fists were clenched as he spoke. Agreeing to Darryl's conditions as the Heavenly Ocean Sect Master would do huge damage to his reputation.Unfortunately, he had no choice. Everyone was stuck at Darryl's mercy, and he was their only way out. Things could get infinitely worse if they did not take up this chance.As the words rang through the air, Martin's expression was panicked as he could not help but say, "Sect Master… A public apology…"Martin had barely finished talking when he was coldly cut off by Evan. "Shut up. I've made my mind up, and we'll be doi
"Oh. Alright."Evan returned to his senses as he nodded, calling upon everyone else to leave the room immediately. His expression soured the second he was outside the hall.'F*ck, that *sshole thought they were fools, didn't he? Just you wait, Darryl Darby.'Upon walking for about a hundred meters, Evan slowed his footsteps.Just then, Martin could not help but pipe up, "Sect Master! Are we really going to just leave like this? Darryl Darby refuses to come with us, so something's got to be up."Evan replied impatiently, "Of course I know something's up. It would've been inappropriate for me to cause a scene considering the situation. Darryl doesn't have much powers, but Rachelle's internal energy is quite something."Indeed, the only reason Evan had kept his cool earlier was because of Rachelle's presence.Martin fell silent as he frowned. "What do we do now?"Whew…Evan took a deep breath, casting a glance around him before saying slowly, "How about this? I'll leave with ever
Over on another end, Prince Auten sat by the rubble, meditating silently.The True Flame pupils stood around him with expressions of terror. Just ten minutes ago, Prince Auten had broken the Inverse Five Elements Formation and rescued all the pupils in there.Following that, he had sent people to hunt down Darryl and Rachelle before heading off to tend to his own injuries.Prince Auten slowly opened his eyes as he let out a heavy breath. His wounds had healed a great deal, but his expression remained ashen.Just then, the pupils who had been sent out after Darryl and Rachelle returned."Where are they?"Upon the sight of the terrified looks on the pupils' faces, Prince Auten could predict what had happened immediately. Yet he still could not help but ask the question coldly.The leading pupil's forehead perspired profusely as he replied in a terrified tone, "Sect Master… We searched high and low, but we couldn't find the pair—""You good-for-nothings! Unable to do a task so sim
In the blink of an eye, the clanging of weapons and emotional cries of battle rang through the secret realm endlessly.…Over on another end, Darryl led Rachelle to a space full of halls northwest. It was a pretty difficult place to get to, and it looked pretty abandoned.Upon arriving, Darryl first searched around the first palace he saw, before taking out a crystal vial and heading out to collect a few herbs.Rachelle, who had been following closely behind the entire time, finally could not hold it in and asked, "Darryl, what are you doing?"Darryl smiled, pointing to the crystal vial. "Making a pill."Pill-making?Rachelle stopped short at the words, frowning at Darryl as she found this man increasingly hard to understand.The next second, Rachelle returned to her senses. "Whatever for?" Even if he was the head of the Elixir Sector at the Pure Yang Division, there was no way he was going to be able to turn the tables around just with his pill-making skills.Whew…Darryl s
At the thought, Martin held his breath as he waited for his chance silently outside the window.He had thought it through, and was going to launch a sneak attack upon them when they had finished the pill and snatch it from Darryl.……Over in the main palace.Darryl stood in front of the crystal vial, controlling the fire beneath it with full focus.What…Rachelle's expression was one of confusion and curiosity from where she stood by his side. Wasn't this far too simple of a way to make a pill?From what she knew, pill-making was an extremely complex thing to do that required a specialized stove. Yet here Darryl was, using a mere crystal vial to make the pill?Wasn't this simplifying the process far too much?At the thought, Rachelle could not help but ask, "Darryl, do you… do you think you can do it?"Rachelle felt as if Darryl was merely fooling around then."You don't believe me?"Darryl smiled at the look on her face, before saying in a serious tone, I know anyone who m
Yet Rachelle did not take the pill from him. "Darryl Darby!" Rachelle bit her lip tightly, speaking in a tone devoid of emotion. "Don't you think for a second that I'll forget what happened in the past just because you made me a pill.""I said that I would get back at you after I avenge my Senior Brother. You keep the Spirit Return Pill to yourself."As she said the final word, Rachelle turned her face to the side, refusing to look at Darryl.Uhh…Darryl's outstretched arm froze at the words as he was torn between helplessness and amusement.This girl was so petty.She still had not forgotten her purity at a time like this.At the thought, Darryl was about to talk her down when a roar sounded from outside the hall."To hell with you, Darryl Darby."This was followed by the window of the hall shattering, before a figure burst in radiating the aura of a thunderbolt. His hands were in front of him, casting two heavy blows against Darryl and Rachelle.It was, of course, Martin.
Darryl only had one thing on his mind then, and that was to take the Nineturn Spirit Pill and then take down this bastard Martin."Stand right there, Darryl Darby."Seeing as he was about to get to the Nineturn Spirit Pill, Martin let out a loud cry. "Or I'll snap this woman's neck in half before you can even take another step."His voice was crazed, not leaving any room for doubt.Darryl stopped, and turned to look. His chest plummeted at the sight.All that could be seen was that the battle had ended. Martin had a hand holding down Rachelle's wrists, and another hand wrapped firmly around her neck.It was obvious that Rachelle's injuries had gotten the best of her in the end, and she could not beat Martin.Darryl could clearly see that all it took was for Martin to use the slightest bit of force, and Rachelle could be done for.F*ck!Darryl returned to his senses quickly enough, glowering at Martin. "Let her go."Sensing Darryl's panic, Martin let out a smirk as his gaze wa
