Darryl frowned and looked over to investigate it. A slim and elegant figure strolled into his tent.
She was Jackie Yale, the woman he had a few conflicts with at the Yellow Sea Continent.
“It’s you!” Darryl grinned widely at the sight of Jackie. “You’re here to visit me? How touching!”
Jackie Yale was the Illusion Sound Sect’s Sect Master and the Sun Set Sect’s Elder Master; she
was someone with supreme status and extreme pride. Darryl had managed to offend her a
couple of times, and he even managed to place her in a situation where she had to say that he
was her husband while they were in the Famed Sword Manor’s Sword Casting Pool.
Darryl thought that someone as arrogant as Jackie would harbor a deep hatred toward him
for that. He did not imagine that she would move from the past and go to the Chaotic
Mountain Range as one of the defenders against the Raksasa Tribe, let alone to visit him at
his tent.
“Get over yourself! I am not here to visit you. I’m here to see if you’re dead!” Jackie’s face
turned crimson as she denied it.
Jackie did not give him any time to react; she reached out swiftly to seal Darryl’s acupoint!
The man could not even dodge it as he did not have his internal energy; he was immediately
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfrozen in place. He widened his eyes in surprise. “You—”
“You b*stard! You never thought you’d be at my mercy, did you?” Jackie said coolly, “Don’t you dare think that I
have forgotten what you did to me.”
Indeed, Jackie did not go there to visit him, but she wanted to teach Darryl a lesson. Darryl had tricked her
repeatedly when they were in the Yellow Sea Continent, and she had not moved past the humiliation. At that
time,
she could not take her revenge because Darryl had been too strong for her. However, he was like a mere mortal
because he had failed in his latest cultivation. That was her chance to do something about it.
Jackie snuck her way in as soon as it turned dark but could not take action until Yvette and the others left the tent.
Once they were gone, she could not wait to barge into it.
Darryl could sense Jackie’s rage; he explained helplessly, “Jackie, you have to understand that I did not plot for
what happened in the Famed Sword Manor’s Sword Casting Pool. We didn’t have another way to get out of the
situation. You’re not still holding a grudge against having to call me your husband, are you?”
“How dare you even mention that again?!” Jackie stomped her feet in frustration; her face got redder as she
thought back to what had happened. She decided not to waste any more time with him. She knocked him
unconscious before she took him away from the camp. Then, they reached a cave a few kilometers away from
the Chaotic Mountain Range.
Darryl finally regained consciousness after many hours. The moment he opened his eyes, he cursed when he
found himself bound from head to toe. When he moved to look around, he was stunned when he saw the location.
He was in a cave, and the air was humid with the sound of flowing water that echoed further in the depths of the
cave. After a few looks, Darryl focused his attention on the woman in front of him.
Jackie sat on a gigantic rock with a bonfire lit in front of her. The dancing flame added a hint of mystery to her
beauty. When she sensed Darryl’s eyes on her, Jackie smiled and got up from the rock before she approached
Darryl slowly. Her slim waist and seductive curves were clearly a bit overwhelming for Darryl; he could not help
but swallow his saliva longingly.
“Jackie, what are you trying to do?” Darryl could barely hold his laughter. “Are you secretly in love with me, and
now you’re trying to elope with me?”
Jackie raised her hand and slapped Darryl across the face with the speed of lightning. “I would
not expect any decent word to come out of that vile mouth of yours, so keep your mouth shut,
or I’ll have your tongue!”

Darryl sighed. “Jackie, the Raksasa Tribe is about to cross over to the Chaotic Mountain Range;
things are pretty much as bad as it can go. We are supposed to be allies. Don’t you think it’s
inappropriate for you to kidnap me right now?”
Jackie smirked mockingly. “Allies? You are nothing but a mortal now; what makes you think you
have what it takes to stand against the Raksasa Tribe? No one would mourn you even if I were
to kill you right here.”
Darryl smiled bitterly. “Fine, but I guess that you did not kidnap me just to take it out on me,
right?”
Jackie frowned and stared at Darryl. “You are not as dumb as I thought you were.” Then, she
picked up the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and said, “I heard that the Seven Treasures
Exquisite Pagoda is one of the rarest treasures in the world, with armies of ancient warriors
trapped in it.
Teach me how to use it, and I’ll let you go.”
When not in use, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda remained in its most miniature form.
Darryl wore it like a pendant. Since Darryl had been unconscious, Jackie took it to inspect it.
However, she could not find a way to open it.
