Darryl guided Megan and carefully avoided the guards as he planned his route.
Even though he had only been to the palace once, he had a good memory. He did not lose his sense of direction,
not even at night. Megan followed closely behind him; she dared not wander off.
Megan was still aware of her capabilities even though she was the World Universe’s Alliance Master. She dared not
act so rashly in a palace where Emperor Hou Yi lived.
Soon, Darryl and Megan arrived at the entrance of a special courtyard.
“Megan, the Scorching Sun Bow is in this yard. Come with me.” Darryl feigned an anxious look and started to talk
nonsense as if what he said was true. Then, he led the way and walked into the yard first.
Megan nodded and quickly followed him.
Gasped!
Megan trembled after she got in and saw what was inside; she was stunned.
There was a big patch of densely arranged wooden stakes near the courtyard entrance. Each wooden stake was
more than two meters high; the area looked like a vast maze.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMegan thought those wooden stakes seemed disarray, but there was a pattern.
That was right; Darryl had brought her to the place where Zhu Bajie had been imprisoned. It was also the restricted
area of the royal palace. Darryl wanted to trap her there. After all, Zhu Bajie had been confined in the same
courtyard for thousands of years!
‘This is a formation?’
It had looked so mysterious.
Megan bit her lips and looked around cautiously.
“Come with me!” Darryl urged, “After we go through these wooden stakes, you’ll see the Scorching Sun Bow. We
have to hurry and do it before anyone spots us!”
Darryl walked in quickly after he said that.
Megan reacted and quickly tailed him.
“Darryl!”
Megan noticed that Darryl had chanted a mantra in a low voice; it must have been the way to break the formation.
Megan curiously asked, “Do you know what formation is this?”
Darryl smiled faintly. “Of course, I know. This is called the Thousand Wood Mystery Formation. It is a superior
formation; very clever and mysterious.”
It reminded Darryl of Zhu Bajie.
Even with Zhu Bajie’s strength, he was trapped in that formation for thousands of years. Darryl was sure that
Megan would have no chance to escape once she entered the formation.
Darryl made up the little story about the Scorching Sun Bow to trick Megan into going to the Royal Palace. His
ultimate goal was to trap her in the Thousand Wood Mystery Formation. Darryl hoped that Megan would spend her
time in repentance while she was trapped there.
Mmm!
Megan responded with a silent nod. She was in deep thoughts.
‘How could I forget that Darryl had always been an almighty genius? He had never been stopped by any difficulties,
let alone a small formation?’
Darryl successfully helped Megan to pass through the wooden stakes.
‘I can finally get the divine weapon.’ Megan chuckled in her mind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter they passed through the formation, a small courtyard appeared in front of them. Zhu Bajie had lived in that
small courtyard for thousands of years. Megan was extremely excited, so she asked Darryl, “Where is the Scorching
Sun Bow? Which room is it in?”
Megan was eager.
Whoosh!
Darryl looked at Megan with a smile. “I don’t mind what you have done for these past few days. I hope that you’ll
realize what you’ve done wrong and repent. I’m sure we’ll meet again!”
After he said that, Darryl turned around and dashed into that patch of wooden stakes!
Even though Darryl’s internal energy had not wholly recovered, Megan was not fast enough to stop his sudden
move. When she finally reacted, Darryl had already disappeared into the formation.
“Darryl! You—”
A few seconds later, Megan finally calmed down. Her beautiful face flushed embarrassingly. At the same time, she
tapped her toes to the ground and rushed toward the wooden stakes.
However, Megan was dumbfounded when she got near the formation.
