Meanwhile, Darryl did not stop for rest during the entire journey before he finally reached the New World’s Royal City.However, he did not enter the city; he headed to the Moonlight Lake at the outskirts instead.He had promised Yvette that he would meet her at the Moonlight Lake before the martial arts marriage tournament. He wanted to try to sneak her out.At that moment, the moon hung high, and stars dotted the sky.The Moonlight Lake looked as stunning as if it were a painting.When Darryl reached there, he saw a few figures by the lake. He had instructed them to head to the New World first. At that moment, there was only Zephyr, Levin, and Volt Dixon; Nimbus was not there.“Brother Darryl!”The three Dixon siblings were delighted when they saw Darryl. They hurried forward to welcome him.“Have you all seen Yvette yet?” Darryl asked them with urgency. He had instructed the Four Warlords to wait for him nearby the Royal City. He forgot to tell them to wait for Yvette spec
‘Heaven Ascension level? This old man is at the Heaven Ascension level…’“Brother Darryl!”Nimbus was delighted to see Darryl; then, he immediately growled, “This old man is using the Elysium Gate’s name to sell elixirs here. He claimed that you made these elixirs.”“Oh!” Darryl nodded as he looked at the old man. He said politely, “Mister, you are using my name to scam other people. Isn’t that a little immoral?”Darryl would not have been so polite if it were someone else. However, he had no choice; that old man was too powerful.“You’re Darryl Darby?” The old man sized Darryl up as he asked him.Darryl nodded and answered, “Yes!”The old man did not show any signs of anxiety. He smiled at Darryl and nodded. "God helps those who help themselves. I was pretending to be you to sell elixirs, and I’ve finally found you.”Then, the four men behind him clapped and chuckled.“We found him!”“Master, your idea is brilliant.”“So, he’s Darryl Darby….”‘F*ck, what’s going on?’ Darry
“Darryl!” The old man chuckled and said, “Don’t panic, I won’t do anything to you. I only capture you because I have no choice. For the sake of fulfilling my daughter’s wish, I will first apologize to you.”‘Daughter?’Darryl was baffled. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Who is your daughter? Do I know her?”‘This old man pretended to be me and sell fake elixirs just to capture me. Then, he said that his daughter wants to see me? Who is she?’ Darryl pondered for a long time but could not come up with anything concrete.The old man smiled and said nothing. He only instructed the four men to continue with the pace.At that moment, Darryl did not know that the old man was Eric Scope, the Ice Fire Island’s Sect Master! Ice Fire Island was located about 150 kilometers away from the New World on the southern sea. It was not a huge island, but it had some strange scenery. The island had tall mountains covered in snow all year long, and yet, lava flowed at the foot of the mount
After he pushed the door opened, Eric said gently, “My dear daughter, I’ve brought you Darryl Darby. You should not have any regrets in life anymore.”Eric smiled when he said that. However, there was also sadness in his tone. Eric’s daughter had a strange disease; she would not be able to survive much longer. She wanted to see Darryl before she died.Darryl trembled and gasped.‘F*ck! This is the gorgeous woman that the four men mentioned just now?’Daryl noticed a weak, petite person on the bed. She had an alluring figure, but her entire face was black and swollen; it was hard to look at her.The lady on the bed was Eric’s daughter—Stella Scope.Stella had only turned 18 that year; she was bright and pretty! As she grew up in Ice Fire Island her entire life, she had always wanted to see the outside world since she was young. Half a year ago, she had snuck out of the Ice Fire Island while her father was not paying attention.She roamed a few mainlands, and she had heard many
At that moment, Darryl still did not know that Stella used to be a gorgeous woman. She only turned ugly due to the poison.As he thought about that, Darryl asked, “Has this lady been poisoned?”“Yes!” Eric nodded; his eyes were filled with heartache and helplessness.He was the Ice Fire Island’s Sect Master and someone at the Heaven Ascension level, yet he could not save his beloved daughter. It was the most ironic thing.Darryl smiled and continued to say, “If I guess correctly, she was poisoned by the Corpse Flower, right?” Then, Darryl took a closer look at Stella’s situation.The Corpse Flower was an extremely poisonous plant. It grew at places where evil spirits converged. It specifically absorbed nutrients from corpses, hence its name.The Infinite Elixir Manual mentioned the poison would gather its victim’s energy field to quicken their death. An ordinary person would have died on the spot, but cultivators could survive for less than ten days.That was what had happened t
“Dad!” Stella said anxiously, “Just let Darryl go!”“Why?” Eric was confused. He thought that Stella admired Darryl. Why would she want him to let him go?“I—” Stella bit her lips. She said gently, “He’s a famous hero. I am already satisfied that I’ve met him in person. I’m only an admirer who will die soon. I’m not his friend, so how can I ask him to keep me company?”Eric frowned in thought.He knew that Stella was right. He was already wrong when he captured Darryl. It was even worse when he asked Darryl to stay and accompany his daughter. However, if he were to let Darryl go, she would not be able to see him. Would that not make her even unhappier?Suddenly, Eric felt conflicted.Darryl nodded discreetly. Even though the old man was unreasonable, his daughter was kind and understanding.Gasp! The four brothers, who had been quiet by Stella’s side, started to chime in the conversation.“What do you mean, Little Junior Sister?”“We’ve captured Darryl for you. Why are y
‘F*ck! How could they decide such a huge matter like marriage so casually?’Darryl was baffled and dumbstruck.‘Who are these people? The disciples are crazy, and the master is equally weird!’'He has barely spoken with that lady, and he has to marry her? Isn't that too casual?'“Listen to me, sir!”Darryl looked at Eric and smiled bitterly. “I’ll agree to stay by your daughter, but only for a few days. I still have other important matters to attend to, and there’s no need for a wedding.”Besides her appearance, Darryl was not familiar with the woman. If he were to marry her, it would be against his own principles.“Why?”Eric frowned and said unhappily, “You think my daughter’s not a match for you? If it were not because she was poisoned, she’s prettier than a fairy. Even if you wanted to marry her then, I might not agree!”Then, Eric took a deep breath and continued to say, “Plus, my daughter admires and idolizes you. She only has a few days left to live; can’t you just give
Stella responded gently, but she could not fall asleep. Her bright eyes gazed at Darryl.Ever since she treated Darryl as her idol, she had fantasized about the day she could meet him.She did not expect that not only did she get to meet him, but she also got to marry him as well. She knew that Darryl only agreed to marry her so that she would not be sad. It was not because he wanted to be with her. However, she was satisfied if she could have him by her side, even for a day! In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.Darryl sweated profusely; he felt so depressed.Eric had used an unorthodox method to seal his acupoints; Darryl had tried to unseal for a long time, but he could not do it. ‘F*ck. If I can’t unseal my acupoints, I can’t leave. What should I do?’“Darryl!”Just as Darryl panicked, Stella said gently, “That is the Ice Fire Island’s Reverse Acupoint Method. You’ll have to reverse-engage your internal energy, and then you should be able to unseal your acupo
