Chapter 4113
Archfiend Antigonus continued laughing as he slowly made his way toward Darryl. As he loomed over him, he said, "If it is
not the great Nine Heaven Sage the Ancient Ancestor had appointed. We must have great fate to be meeting again so
soon."
Archfiend Antigonus was smiling as he spoke, but his gaze was laced with ice.
Archfiend Antigonus had never properly interacted with Darryl, but he knew enough about him. Before Archfiend Antigonus
had been reborn into a tangible body, he had once rioted in the Imperial Sky Palace. Darryl had been there. He was the one
who had sent Archfiend Antigonus to the Ghost World after he trapped Archfiend Antigonus in the Devil Sealed Mirror. 3
Crap!
Darryl smiled weakly at Archfiend Antigonus's jeers as his heart dropped.
He was done for-he had fallen into the hands of Archfiend Antigonus.
"Honorable Archfiend!"
A thought seemed to come to Morticia. She turned to ask Archfiend Antigonus. "How are things here at the Imperial
Palace?"
Archfiend Antigonus stopped smiling and told her what was going on.
Morticia fell into deep thought. Then, she smiled. "No need to worry, Honorable Archfiend! I have a plan that might make
the Nine Heaven Emperor and Empress Nuwa surrender."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Out with it!" Archfiend Antigonus's eyes flashed, urging her hurriedly!
Morticia pointed to Darryl. "Darryl Darby is not only the Nine Heaven Sage, but he's also
the Jade Dragon Prince Consort, son-in-law to the Nine
Heaven Emperor, impossibly powerful. I say we bring him to the Imperial Sky Palace gates
and blackmail the Emperor into surrendering. Else, we'll destroy Darryl Darby's fairy soul.
Morticia spoke with a confident expression on her face. "That's his son-in- law. There's no
way the Nine Heaven Emperor won't save him."
The other Fiend Martyrs grew excited.
"Nice one, Morticia."
"Who would've thought of blackmailing the Emperor with Darryl Darby! Genius!"
Archfiend Antigonus seemed pleased as well, letting out a laugh. "Sounds like a plan. Go
and see about it!"
"Yes!"
Morticia and the other Fiend Martyrs agreed immediately, bringing Darryl with them.
Darryl was torn between feeling uneasy and helpless.
F*ck! It was one thing to be held captive and another to be used as blackmail. The Nine
Heaven Emperor did not like Darryl at all. Why would he ever agree to let Archfiend
Antigonus have his way?
Worse than that, Archfiend Antigonus might fly into a rage at being turned down. He might
kill Darryl to vent his anger.
Darryl grew fraught with hopelessness.
Sometime later, a few hundred thousand fiend warriors set off to the Imperial Sky Palace
under Archfiend Antigonus's lead, carrying Darryl with them.
At the Imperial Sky Palace.
The news of Darryl being held captive traveled to the Imperial Sky Palace soon enough. 1
In response, the Nine Heaven Emperor immediately called upon the officials to meet the
fiend troops head-on.
At the sight of the Nine Heaven Emperor and his officials, Archfiend Antigonus' expression
grew ice cold.
Archfiend Antigonus turned to shout at the Nine Heaven Emperor. "Why are you alone?
Where's Nuwa?"
Archfiend Antigonus scanned around his surroundings as he spoke, searching for Empress
Nuwa. To tell the truth, Archfiend Antigonus hardly cared about the Nine Heaven Emperor
but still reserved some fear for Empress Nuwa.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Nine Heaven Emperor smiled coldly. "My senior sister is wherever she should be."
His face was completely calm as he spoke, but his heart twinged with anxiety. A few hours ago, Empress Nuwa had
returned to where the Ancient Ancestor was cultivating in seclusion to keep a lookout.
Without Nuwa, the Nine Heaven Emperor did not stand a single chance against Archfiend Antigonus. Yet he put on an air of
forced neutrality, trying to give off the impression that Nuwa was nearby.
Archfiend Antigonus merely smirked.
He had not planned to attack by force, anyway. Nuwa's whereabouts hardly mattered anyway.
Archfiend Antigonus waved his hand. Instantly, a few fiend warriors came forward, bringing with them a figure.
It was Darryl.
What?
At the sight of him, the officials buzzed with questions.
"The Jade Dragon Prince Consort?"
"Didn't he die on the Sealed fiend Mountain? Why is he with the fiend folks? ■
"What happened?"
The Nine Heaven Emperor stood rooted to the spot. He stared at Darryl, unable to say a single word. His chest began to
simmer with rage.
So Grunt had lied.
