Darryl sneered as he studied Zhang Jue’s expression and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to believe you,
but let’s be honest here. What you have done so far makes it really difficult to do so. As long as you are
focused on assisting me in our defense against the Raksasa Tribe, I promise you will get the antidote in
time. Am I understood?”
“Understood…” Zhang Jue nodded without hesitation. He would not dare to say otherwise in his
circumstances. Zhang Jue might be a master in the Art of Elixir, but the Heaven Cult Elixir recipe was
something he had not been able to get his hands on so far. After all, the Heaven Cult Elixir was the
Heaven Cult’s top-secret from years ago. Zhang Jue trembled as he pictured himself dying miserably
without the antidote.
The crowd gaped at the sudden turn of events, and amongst them, Chester, Yvette, Chang Er, and the
others were exceptionally pleased. They looked at Darryl with approval in their eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZhang Jue was as untamable as a wild horse. There was no way of knowing for sure whether he had truly
accepted his punishment. Darryl’s approach to dealing with him was most appropriate.
“Lady Chang Er, you appointed Zhang Jue to assist me, but are you not going to lead the North Moana Army to
fight against the Raksasa Tribe with us?” Darryl grinned and asked as he faced Chang Er. All eyes gathered on
Chang Er once again. Indeed, as Emperor Hou Yi’s wife, the famed Lady Chang Er had connections worldwide.
One word from her would be sufficient to gather all forces in the Nine Mainland to encourage better
coordination.
“I—” Chang Er smiled gently when she realized that everyone was looking at her and said, “I have spent far too
much time in Chun Yangzi’s sect and have completely gotten used to the peacefulness there. I cannot bear to
see blood and conflicts any longer. Besides, I hardly possess the skill to lead an army.” Chang Er paused to study
Darryl before she shifted to a more serious tone. “Darryl Darby, you possess exceptional talent. You are not only
proficient in literature and martial art, but you are also resourceful when it comes to military strategies. No
other man is worthy of leading the Nine Mainland against our enemies but you.” Sincerity and appreciation filled
Chang Er’s attractive features.
She used to look down on Darryl, but after she got to know him, she realized that even though he might be
indecent most of the time, he always came through and found a way to turn the circumstances around
whenever and wherever he was needed. A talented man like Darryl Darby was truly a rare gem in the whole of
Nine Mainland.
Darryl scratched his head absently in embarrassment after Chang Er praised him in front of such a large
crowd. ‘Am I really that talented?’ he thought.
“Warrior of the North Moana Army, heed my order.” Chang Er’s expression looked dignified as she spoke to the
hundreds of thousands of soldiers before her. “From today onward, as expected from Zhang Jue, you must assist
Darryl Darby in the coming war against the Raksasa Tribe. Heed his every order with absolute loyalty;
insubordination will not be tolerated,” she spoke coldly with unquestionable authority.
“Yes!” The generals looked at each other with hesitation before they responded respectfully. They were still
reluctant to obey Chang Er’s orders. After all, the matter with Emperor Hou Yi’s death had yet to be resolved, and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe was still the biggest suspect. However, Yang Jian was still missing, and Zhang Jue had submitted himself to
Darryl. If they were to defy that order, they would probably be executed for insubordination.
“Yes!” Hundreds of thousands of North Moana soldiers followed in unison— their voices were loud and clear.
Then they turned to Darryl and said,
“Greetings to Sect Master Darby!”
Darryl was dazed when he saw the scene in front of him. Half an hour ago, he had been worried about how
he would handle the attack from the North Moana Army. Then, they had become his subordinates. He was
still in awe when he bowed to Chang Er and said, “Thank you, Lady Chang Er, for trusting me.”
Chang Er nodded with a smile and said, “I will pray for your success in defending the Nine Mainland
against the Raksasa Tribe. Master Chun Yang and I will be taking our leave now. We await the good news
of your victory.”
Lu Dongbin had planned to stay and help, but with the North Moana Army under Darryl’s command,
there should not be any further internal conflict. With all hearts united as one, they would surely succeed
in defeating the Raksasa Tribe, and hence, Lu Dongbin no longer had any particular reason to stay.
Darryl nodded at them respectfully. Without another word, Chang Er and Lu Dongbin flew off; they
disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.
