The bedchamber fell into silence for a while! Yvette looked at Sloan closely; she was so nervous that her palms started to sweat. Darryl was under the bed; he would not have a chance to escape if Sloan decided to tell the truth. "Your Majesty!" Sloan bit her lips. She kept a straight face as she said respectfully. "Darryl did not come here." Yvette relaxed when she heard Sloan's reply; she was delighted. 'Sloan didn't sell Darryl out!' Darryl also sighed in relief; he was moved. Unexpectedly, Sloan had kept her words; she was truly a Warrior Goddess whom everyone admired. "Alright!" The New World Emperor nodded. "That's good. I feel relieved, especially with Sloan around. I think Darryl would not dare to sneak in here." The New World Emperor looked at Yvette. "There is no point thinking about it as things will not change. Stop drinking and rest early!" Then, the New World Emperor waved his hand and left with the four Golden Dragon Guards. As soon as the Emperor left
Yvette sighed as she looked at Darryl. Then, she said disappointingly, "Darryl, perhaps you should leave. I'll figure a way out later. Do you know Moonlight Lake on the outskirts of the Royal City? I'll try to sneak out before the martial arts marriage tournament begins, and we can meet there!" Yvette had wanted to leave with Darryl. However, she knew that Sloan had told the truth. The New World Palace was heavily guarded by the elites that the Emperor had recruited. It would be difficult for Darryl to take her out of the palace unaided. Darryl clenched his fists tightly in distress. Sloan felt sorry for them, so she tried to comfort them. "Don't be too upset, Darryl. Once there is a chance, I will cover for the Princess." Sloan seemed to have softened her attitude toward Darryl when she realized that he was committed to Yvette. The genuine love between the two had touched Sloan. "Great!" Darryl took a deep breath and nodded after he heard what Sloan had said, but he co
When the Emperor issued his command, the four Golden Dragon Guards and the other elites leapt forward and charged at Darryl! Darryl tilted his head backward and laughed when the Golden Dragon Guards and other elites rushed toward him. He was determined to face the war. "Do you think you can kill me after recruiting so many elites? You've underestimated me!" 'I'm not afraid, even if you have so many elites!' Darryl raised his hand and waved it; a golden light flashed on his palm before a golden pagoda appeared! It was the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda! Immediately afterward, Darryl summoned 700 elites from the first and second levels! They whizzed out from the pagoda. "Pang Tong, Yuan Tiangang, King Rufous Bear and all of you, listen up! Destroy these enemies in front of you; leave no one behind!" Darryl commanded coldly and unwaveringly! Darryl had never wanted things to get so ugly between him and the Emperor because of Yvette! However, the other party had pushed hi
"The White Lily Cold Flame?" "Have you finally played your trump card?" As they felt the scorching temperature, the four Golden Dragon Guards were astonished! However, there was not much panic. On the contrary, the corners of their mouths curled into a faint smile. Darryl did not hesitate. He waved his hand and sent the White Lily Cold Flame toward the four Golden Dragon Guards. "Darryl..." Leonardo sneered, "The White Lily Cold Flame is the world's top enchanted flame, and it is very powerful, but don't assume that it is unrivaled!" Leonardo retrieved something from his body. It was spherical and exuded a cold and faint, icy blue light. Darryl could sense the intense energy within it. 'F*ck! What is this?' Darryl frowned; he was shocked and suspicious. Leonardo flipped his hand casually just as the White Lily Cold Flame went right up to the four Golden Dragon Guards! The crystal ball discharged a stream of pure energy that immediately formed a water curtain-like b
The gush of tyrannical aura swept toward Darryl in an instant! Damn it! Darryl was startled; he quickly garnered his pure energy to resist that force. Boom! In the blink of an eye, the energy storm arrived and hit Darryl! Darryl trembled before he spurted a mouthful of blood and flew backward. That had happened even after he used his pure energy to defend himself and to dodge the blow from those 20 elites! "Go to hell, Darryl!" Before Darryl landed on the ground, Leonardo yelled expressionlessly. Then, he drew a long sword and stabbed his opponent fiercely! "Ascension of the Nine Dragons!" At the most critical moment, Darryl gritted his teeth as he endured the pain in his body! Then he yelled his command. Roar! The area shone brightly in golden light as nine golden dragons dashed toward Leonardo! Boom! Leonardo did not underestimate his enemy; he quickly wielded his sword to resist the dragons' attack! Darryl took advantage of the opportunity to turn around and
Darryl was already injured before he fell into the moat and had to fight the strong vortex. He had lost control of himself and allowed the water to drag him to the bottom of the river. Darryl felt despair, but he laughed miserably. 'Am I gonna die like this?' He was so unwilling to accept his death! Meanwhile, on the bank of the moat. Whoosh! Leonardo slowly descended to the ground. He smiled as he stared at Darryl's body that quickly sank into the moat until it disappeared. Leonardo knew that the moat was very deep, but he could not be sure of its depth. The water also had countless powerful vortexes. Darryl was already severely injured, so even if he were skillful, he would not be able to escape death if the vortexes got him! A group of New World Palace elites stood behind Leonardo; they were beaming. They thought that Darryl was dead. Leonardo sighed in relief and waved his hand. "Brothers, let's go back to the palace and report to His Majesty that Darryl is dead!
The Emperor got angrier and angrier as he bellowed, "Yvette, no matter how much you like Darryl, he is dead now. You have to give up on him. Obey my will dutifully and wait for the martial arts tournament. Then, live happily ever after with your Prince Consort." After that, the Emperor strode out of the bedchamber. "Darryl!" Yvette looked painfully up at the night sky outside the palace. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. It's all my fault..." Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably; she was heartbroken! … Meanwhile, under the water in the moat... Darryl felt his world spun, and his body continued to sink with the suction force of the vortex. The water was cold, and Darryl was a little puzzled and desperate. 'Oh, no!' 'Why am I still not at the river bed? Is the moat that deep?' It took quite some time before Darryl finally sank to the bottom of the river bed. He was extremely astonished. 'How deep is this moat?' Even though he did not know for sure, his guess
Darryl stared wide-eyed at the underwater palace in front of him. Finally, he snapped back to his senses. Then, he slowly went into the ruins. Darryl's heart pounded as he swam around the abandoned palace to explore the area. The palace was about the same size as the New World palace. It looked like it had tens of thousands of rooms and dozens of halls! After he traversed the area for a while, Darryl arrived at a collapsed palace room. He noticed that it was different from the others—it had many elixir cauldrons in it. Besides the cauldrons, there were many jade bottles for elixirs and pills on the shelves. There were at least a few hundred jade bottles. 'Damn! Why are there so many elixir caldrons?' Darryl's gaze flickered. He must be at a place where they produced the elixirs. He was excited. He quickly moved forward to check out the jade bottles—he half-walked and half-swam around the area. Darryl was stoked when he saw the labels on the jade bottles. 'Jade Bone Pill,
