Chapter 1717

“Emperor Hou Yi, I’m sorry. I didn’t want to kill you. I only wanted to make you go into a psychotic break. Otherwise,

you wouldn’t spare me, who had intruded your secret chamber. I didn’t know that you would die.”

Darryl stood beside the body as he put his palms together and muttered under his breath.

After he finished what he wanted to say, Darryl walked to the shattered wall and took a few pills that had been

hidden in the secret cells. He could not wait any longer; he swallowed one of the pills.

Hum!

The moment he swallowed the pill, Darryl felt a warm current that traveled to his limbs from his energy field. He

felt warm and comfortable.

Darryl wasted no time. He immediately sat cross-legged and began to absorb the strength.

Soon, half an hour went by before Darryl opened his eyes. Two streams of dazzling light shone from his lit-up eyes;

he was indescribably excited.

‘I’ve recovered!’ He laughed.

His internal energy had been completely restored.

Darryl was too excited; he quickly stood up and strode out of the secret chamber.

When he went outside, he noticed the quiet surroundings. He heaved a sigh of relief. It was apparent that the area

was a forbidden place for Emperor Hou Yi’s cultivation. No one would usually go near the building.

No one, except Darryl, knew of Emperor Hou Yi’s sudden death.

Darryl did not hesitate as he mustered his internal energy and took advantage of the night to slip out of the palace.

Darryl left the palace quickly after he got outside. When he reached the top of the hill opposite the palace, he

noticed that Celine and Queenie were still tied up and held there. All the major sects from the World Universe

continent were also there as they waited for Megan. When Darryl approached the top of the hill, he realized that

everyone, including Kent, was anxious as they awaited Megan’s return.

“Darryl!”

Kent greeted Darryl with an impatient look. “Why are you alone? Where’s Meg?” He dared to use Megan’s

nickname when she was not around.

Everyone around him stared at Darryl very closely. They looked conflicted.

‘It’s strange that Darryl came back alone.’

Fanny also observed Darryl closely; her delicate face looked menacing. “Hey, Darryl, your mouth is full of sh*t,

right? There is no Scorching Sun Bow in the North Moana Palace, right? Have you framed Senior Sister and then

escaped alone?”

Fanny raised her hand and pointed at Darryl’s face; she sounded resolute. “Go back in and bring our Senior Sister,

our Sect Master, back to us. If something bad were to happen to her, I’d skin you alive. Celine and Queenie won’t

live either.”

“Get lost!”

Slap!

Darryl dashed forward and slapped Fanny on her face without any warning.

He had slapped her with all her might; Fanny let out a muffled sigh as the impact flung her about ten meters

backward. A bright red handprint had appeared on her cheek.

“How dare you hit me?”

Fanny covered her face. She was so shocked that she could only glare at Darryl as she yelled.

Wow!

Everyone there was taken aback.

Darryl must have gone crazy. He had dared to hit Fanny even though the Emei Sect still held two of his friends

hostage. He should have known that Fanny was Megan’s most respected junior sister, and she enjoyed high status

within the sect.

“Darryl, I think you must have lived for too long!”

Kent reacted and yelled at Darryl, “So, you think you’re courageous now, don’t you? Watch out! I might just refine

you into pills—”

Huh!

Darryl suddenly tilted his head. His eyes were blood-red as he locked his gaze onto Fanny and then strode toward

her.

At the same time, a powerful breath of aura escaped from Darryl’s body.

F*ck! Megan was already trapped in the formation. How dared Fanny push Darryl around?

“You! What are you doing?”

Kent trembled when he felt Darryl’s powerful aura; he was too nervous to say anything.
