Chapter 2021

Hiss!

They drew in a sharp breath when they arrived at the city gate and saw what was happening on the outside! Darryl

was startled; he felt as if his bread was buzzing.

There were a few hundred thousand of the North Moana soldiers in a neat square formation at the foot of the city

gate with their long sabers. There were so many of them—one glance across the field, and it was packed with

black-haired men far and wide. It was an intimidating sight.

Yang Jian stood at the top of the lineup. He was in golden armor as he hovered in mid-air; he looked grand and

majestic.

Gonggong, Ambrose, and Eira stood quietly at the front of the line. Ambrose was there with Yang Jian, and Eira

tagged along because she was worried about her brother’s safety.

Ambrose… Eira!

Darryl was taken aback when he saw Ambrose and Eira—he was dumbfounded.

‘Why are these two siblings with the North Moana’s camp?’

Darryl did not know that Ambrose had become Yang Jian’s right-hand man after the fall of the New World Continent.

Ambrose and Eira were also equally dumbfounded to see Darryl at the city gate.

Soon, Eira snapped back from her senses, but she was still shocked.

‘Why is Dad here? Isn’t he supposed to be in the World Universe Continent?’

Ambrose still resented the man. He had heard that Darryl was the South Cloud World’s Prince Consort, but he had

not believed it. So when he saw Darryl there, he had no choice but to accept the gossip.

Ambrose’s hatred for Darryl got even stronger.

He thought about his mother, who had suffered so much for Darryl while he had a jolly time with other women. He

was perplexed that the man was there to assist the South Cloud World’s Princess to defend against the North

Moana Army. Ambrose thought that Darryl was a despicable man.

Suddenly, Yang Jian, who was suspended in mid-air, looked at Darryl surprisingly. He said coldly, “Young man, you

are here too! Where’s Chang Er?”

Yang Jian had issued an imperial decree and sent search parties to comb everywhere for Chang Er, but there was

no news of her. That had annoyed Yang Jian very much. He could not hold his anger anymore after he saw Darryl.

‘What?’

The civil and military officials had their gazes locked on Darryl in surprise.

‘Does Darryl and Grandmaster Erlang know each other?’

Yang Jian had also asked Darryl about Chang Er. Were Darryl and Chang Er related?

Darryl ignored the gazes around him, and his face remained calm.

The next second, Darryl smiled at Yang Jian. “Have you got no dignity at all? You took the opportunity to usurp the

power after Emperor’s Hou Yi’s death. You wanted to make Chang Er your Empress after you ascended the throne.

No one would respect someone as unscrupulous and as ambitious as you even if you have everything under the

sky.”

“You should retreat as soon as possible if you know what’s good for you, lest you suffer God’s condemnation.”

Darryl smiled; his tone was full of mockery when he suggested that.

Anyway, he and Yang Jian were on the opposite sides, so there was no need to fake courtesy.

“Whoa.”

There was an uproar throughout Lilydale City—whether it was the Empress or the civil and military officials, they

had panicked.

‘Darryl must be crazy.’

‘How could he threaten the powerful Grandmaster Erlang? Does he not want to live anymore?’

Quincy stomped her feet in a panic.

South Cloud World was the weaker opponent—there might be even worse chaos if Darryl provoked Yang Jian

deliberately.

Next, everyone’s eyes were on Yang Jian.

Yang Jian’s expression turned somber in an instant. He glared at Darryl for a few moments before he sneered at

him. “Very well. You were chased around by my army like a dog, yet you dared to talk so big. Darryl, you are too

arrogant. You ought to know that an arrogant person will not end well. After I wrap up my attack here at Lilydale

City, I will cut off your head.”
