Chapter 4025
His features twisted, but he did not utter a single word. Master Magaera grew impatient. He roared, "Out with it!
where's Archfiend Antigonus?"
Skylar merely smiled; he said nothing.
Master Magaera shouted with all his might, raising the Soul Slayer Whip in his hand and bringing it down onto
Skylar's body once again.
The whip flew in the air like a golden dragon in flight. It emitted a series of bright cracks in the air, ringing around
the grounds.
The troops felt their hearts thud heavily at the scene before them.
However, Skylar was silent the entire time.
Meanwhile, Grunt quickly gathered a few soldiers and rushed back to the Jade Fairyland.
Soon enough, he had delivered the lie he had meticulously planned out to the Nine Heavens Emperor.
What?
Instantly, everyone, including the Nine Heavens Emperor, Empress Heidi, and all the officials, got a huge shock.
The Nine Heavens Emperor snapped back to his senses quickly enough, staring at Grunt with a solemn look on
his face. "What did you say? Darryl Darby took on Archfiend Antigonus' blood formation alone? There were no
survivors?" 1
The Nine Heavens Emperor had sent Darryl to the Sealed Fiend Mountain with much
confidence.
It was important to note that the Ancient Ancestor had bestowed Darryl with the title of
the Nine Heaven Sage in front of all the gods. Someone good enough for the Ancient
Ancestors was surely someone of decent power and skill.
He did not expect Darryl to fail on his very first mission. 2
Grunt's expression was the picture of grief as he knelt on the ground. He nodded and said,
"Yes, Your Majesty. I tried my best to stop him, knowing how terrifying the blood formation
was, but he did not listen at all. He said he was skilled with formations, and his capability
trumped everyone in the Nine Mainland. He declared he would have no problem taking
down the Archfiend Antigonus' blood formation, but—"
The Nine Heaven Emperor was speechless. "Careless, so very careless! It was my fault for
placing too much trust into Darryl Darby."
Next to him, Empress Heidi was grieving as well. "He overestimated himself, that Darryl
Darby."
Seeing their reactions made Grunt sigh in relief internally. He wore a gloomy expression,
yet his heart was filled with nothing but glee. 1
'It was way too easy to fool the Nine Heaven Emperor! oh, Darryl Darby, you mustn't
blame me even if you die an unworthy death. Shouldn't have taken my Princess Dorothy
from me back then, should you?'
Then, a thought seemed to come to Empress Heidi, she asked
Grunt hurriedly, "Oh, right! Did you come across Princess Dorothy at all when you were at
the Sealed Fiend Mountain?"
Grunt shook his head. "I'm afraid I did not."
He was pretty antsy about that as well.
Princess Dorothy was nowhere to be seen around the blood formation. Could Archfiend
Antigonus have killed her already?
Empress Heidi could no longer keep her grief silent at the response. "My poor Dorothy,
first captured by Archfiend Antigonus, and now her husband has been killed."
The tension was so thick it was almost palpable.
"Your Majesty!"
Just then, a figure hurriedly made its way into the hall. It was Master Luna.
As he made his way to the front of the crowd, Master Luna paid his respects to the Nine
Heaven Emperor. "The teleportation gate's ready, Your Majesty."
Thank goodness!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Nine Heaven Emperor was overwhelmed with joy. He quickly said, "Hurry up and send
the news to the Nine Mainland. Have Master Magaera return to the Godly Region with his
army immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
On another end, at a wasteland at Kunlun in the Nine Mainland.
Master Magaera waved the Soul Slayer Whip in his hands like a crazy man. He had lost count on how many
strikes he had struck, but Skylar's body was covered in wounds. He was barely alive.
Master Magaera put the Soul Slayer Whip away, growing indignant with rage.
He could not kill Skylar, but he could not make him talk either, even with the Soul slayer whip. That was
infuriating.
"Master!"
Just then, a soldier approached him. "We've received news from the Godly Region under His Majesty's orders. You
are to return to the Godly Region with the army as soon as possible."
Master Magaera inhaled deeply, his thunderous expression brightening slightly. He asked, "Did His Majesty say
anything else?
It
Not daring to spare a single second, the soldier replied immediately, "His Majesty said that Archfiend Antigonus
has headed to the Sealed Fiend Mountain. Things are looking pretty grave."
What?
Archfiend Antigonus was at the Sealed Fiend Mountain?
Master Magaera's body jerked abruptly, his brain going blank.
