When she saw Darryl’s defiant face, Chang Er lost her patience. Then, she said to the guards outside, “Lock him up! Execute him the first thing tomorrow morning!”A few guards immediately carried Darryl and dragged him out of the main hall.Darryl wanted to struggle, but his acupoints were sealed. He could not move even if he wanted to do that.Half an hour later, Darryl was brought into a dark, wet prison cell. His hands and legs were cuffed with iron chains.He scanned his surroundings—walls on three sides, the fourth was covered in iron rails. Darryl almost lost it.‘No. No. I have to escape!’ Darryl’s heart pounded. He walked to a corner of his cell, sat down, and crossed his legs. He tried to calm down.He still had many things to do; he could not die there.‘I can use my internal energy to unseal my acupoints!’Once he had decided to do that, Darryl slowly calmed. He paid attention to his breathing and started to activate his internal energy.Time passed by, and soon, it
Darryl was not worried about Pang Tong. Even if he was caught, Darryl could use the pagoda and recall him back into it.The pagoda had about a dozen kilometers range. As long as Pang Tong did not go too far, he could get him back into the pagoda! However, just as he exited the prison, Darryl was instantly dumbstruck! ‘F*ck! This palace is way too huge!’Darryl noticed that there were walkways everywhere among the vast palace buildings—it was like a gigantic maze! Some guards patrolled around the area. There were even hundreds of giant birds in the sky with a few guards on each one. It seemed like they were patrolling the skies.Those giant birds were called Iron King Doves. They were a low-level flying enchanted beast. Obviously, those birds had been domesticated.It looked like the palace’s sky and ground were heavily guarded! Darryl’s head hurt. What should he do? How could he escape the palace?He could only wander around randomly and try his luck. Perhaps he could escape
The man in white was quite handsome. Graceful, charming, elegant—words that were perfectly acceptable to describe him! Darryl looked at the man with doubts in his heart.They were in a forbidden place in North Moana Palace. Who was he? Why was he here?Darryl could not suppress the curiosity in him, so he walked toward the man in white.When he got nearer, Darryl did not know whether to laugh or cry—the man was playing Go. However, he had no opponent. He played against himself! Even though he was in a game of Go by himself, the man seemed happy and content.At that moment, the man in white smiled as he placed a white Go stone on the board. He laughed and muttered to himself, “This is an ultimate move. You’ll lose this round!”No one sat in the opposite seat. Then, he quickly went to the other side and picked up a black Go stone. He pretended to be another person and said condescendingly, “A mediocre move! You’ll see how I beat you!“You’ll lose for sure!“Don’t be too sure
Then, the man in white started to teach Darryl how to play Go.Darryl was anxious to leave the place, so he was not in the mood to learn. However, he had no choice but to force himself to listen to the man’s explanation.“Right!” After some basic explanation of Go, the man in white subconsciously looked at Darryl and asked, “Young man, I still don’t know your name.”“I’m Darryl Darby!” Darryl did not even think before he answered the man. Then he returned the question. “Sir, may I know your name too?”Darryl had tried to guess that person’s identity. He must be someone special as he lived in the palace’s forbidden place.“Me?” The man in white was suddenly spirited. He replied proudly, “My name is pretty famous! I’m afraid if I say it out loud, you’d be frightened! Listen up! My name is Zhu Bajie. I was once the Heavenly Reeds Marshal…”He was halfway through his speech when Zhu Bajie suddenly thought of something. He waved his hands in dismissal and said, “Forget about it. Let’s
Emperor Hou Yi loved Chang Er deeply. He was livid when he saw how Zhu Bajie almost defiled her. He wanted to kill Zhu Bajie on the spot. However, Zhu Bajie was the great Heavenly Reeds Marshal and had many outstanding achievements! Emperor Hou Yi could not bear to kill him, but he found a way to make Zhu Bajie’s life worse than death. He locked Zhu Bajie up in the forbidden place! Also, he had set up a formation at the entrance so that the culprit would not be able to escape the place! Zhu Bajie had been confined there for a thousand years! Even though Zhu Bajie was strong, he could not solve the Thousand Wood Mystery Formation, so he was stuck there for almost a thousand years! For the past thousand years, no one had dared to enter the forbidden place until Darryl, who had accidentally entered by mistake.Zhu Bajie had been confined there for a thousand years, and when he saw Darryl, he was reluctant to let him go. He had to get Darryl to play chess with him. So, Zhu Bajie lie
Then, Darryl turned and left. Since there were no other exits, he only could leave the forbidden place by the gates—it was a risky move! "Hey, hey, Little Brother, don't be angry!"Zhu Bajie chased after Darryl anxiously.…Meanwhile, in the main hall at the palace in the South Cloud World! The Empress stood at the entrance and looked toward the sky. Her gorgeous face was filled with excitement.Quincy Long and the other officials stood behind her; all of them also looked up at the sky; they were inexplicably stunned! After a few seconds, the Empress sighed in relief. "The blood-colored clouds have risen; a Grand Weapon must have appeared! Heed my orders—head to the World Universe immediately! There can be no mistakes!" the Empress said determinedly.The South Cloud World had lost their chance at grabbing the Sky Breaking Axe when it appeared ten years ago. So they knew that they would have to seize the opportunity as quickly as they could! "Yes, Your Majesty!" the officia
Meanwhile, at Mount Hua in the World Universe! Mount Hua was located northwest of the World Universe. The mountains there were steep and dangerous, but the view was impeccable. It had been known as the most dangerous mountain in the world since ancient times.A group of ancient buildings stood at Mount Hua's peak—it was the Mount Hua Sect! The Mount Hua Sect had been around for thousands of years; it played an essential role in the martial arts world's history in the World Universe. For the past thousands of years, the Mount Hua Sect had churned out many strong and powerful disciples! However, over the years, their size had shrunk, and they had also lost their reputation among their fellow cultivators.Mount Hua Sect's Sect Master was Old White Brows; he was in his seventies. However, he was still strong and healthy! He was a level one Martial Saint!Most of his fellow cultivators called him Master White Brows.At that moment, blood-colored clouds had risen on the top of Moun
Meanwhile, on the North Moana.The earth continued shaking, but it was not as strong as before! “Kid, don’t leave first; have a round of Go with me!” Zhu Bajie tugged Darryl’s clothes and tried to make him stay.“You can’t lead me to the exit, yet you want me to play Go with you. Aren’t you just wasting my time? I have to get back to the World Universe. I have many urgent things to do. If there’s a chance, I’d come back to play chess with you,” Darryl said as he immediately walked out of the formation to leave that forbidden place.Zhu Bajie did not even know where the exit was, yet he tricked him into a game of Go with him, which had infuriated him! However, Darryl had only left the forbidden place when he saw the North Moana army troops on patrol. The number of soldiers had increased several times more than before.Emperor Hou Yi must have known that Darryl had escaped from his prison, so the entire palace had been reinforced with more guards.Darryl took a deep breath; he f
