Whoosh!
The group fixed their gazes on Chester.
Chester took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. 11 Zhang Jue wants to capture Darryl by using
you guys as bait. He is not going to harm you for now, but he's an evil and vicious person. He'll
sacrifice all of you eventually, regardless of whether he succeeds in capturing Darryl."
Chester's expression became conflicted as he continued to say, ''I promised Zhang Jue to come here
under the pretense that I'd advise you guys to surrender.'' He felt powerless when he said that
because he knew that the Endless Sky Organization's main altar was heavily guarded, and they had
more than 100,000 elite disciples. There was no way that Chester could release all of them from the
prison cell by himself.
Based on their situation, Chester could only choose to secure his position with Zhang Jue as he waited
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfor an opportunity patiently.
'What?'
The group was shocked.
Yvette bit her lips and exclaimed, ''Are you saying that we should fake a surrender? But that'd be too
pretentious. Zhang Jue would know with one glance; he's not an idiot.''
Chester nodded. ''Yes, that's why I decided to pick only a few of you to pretend to submit to Zhang Jue as I did. He
wouldn't suspect anything.''
Dax exclaimed with a conflicted expression. ''Brother Chester, that's too troublesome. Can't you just release
us? Now's a great opportunity. Zhang Jue trusts you.''
''Dax, it's notthat simple.'' Chester shook his head and explained with a bitter smile. ''I would've done that
earlier if I could. Zhang Jue is still cautious toward me. I'm worried that his men might lurk at the foot of the hill
if I let you go now. My previous efforts would all go to waste.''
''Besides, I think I should stay with Zhang Jue after freeing you guys so that I could keep track of his plans
against Darryl.''
Fuh!
Both Yvette and Dax became silent.
They knew that it would be too risky for Chester, but it did not seem like they had any other choice.
The group exchanged glances after a short moment of silence as they wondered who Chester would pick.
Chester looked around before finally, his gaze stopped on a lean and tall man. ''White Horse, you'" do. You should
stay near Zhang Jue with me.''
The person that Chester had chosen was White Horse from the Eternal Life Palace. He was also the first person to
oppose Chester when he was selected to be the Sect Master years ago.
Chester figured that Zhang Jue would get suspicious if he chose Dax or Yvette. After all, Dax had a hot temper,
and he would rather die than surrender. On the other hand, Yvette was intelligent and upright. She would never
bow easily. ''Master!''
The White Horse jerked with surprise; his face was filled with terror. ''I... I'm afraid that I will not live up to the
task..."
It was Zhang Jue that they were talking about; staying around him as a spy would be even more dangerous than

''White Horse!'' Chester's expression became grim as he shouted angrily, ''You bear a solemn duty as one of the
Four Guardian Kings of the Eternal Life Palace. Are you going to flinch now that the Eternal Life Palace is facing an
unprecedented challenge?''
His voice was not loud, but it was filled with strength.
When he realized that the Sect Master was furious, blood drained from White Horse's face, and he
nodded hurriedly. ''I will abide by your decision and not disobey your order.''
He looked sincere when he said that, but his eyes glistened with resentment and grimness.
'Chester Wilson, d*mn you for dragging me into this murky water! Do not blame me for
being dishonorable when the time for life and death comes.'
Chester nodded in acknowledgment at White Horse's words. Then he left the prison cell with White
Horse after a few more words with the others.
A few minutes later, at the main hall.
Zhang Jue sat on his throne as he glanced at White Horse from top to toe with a smile. ''Master Wilson
is a man of his words, indeed. You've got a capable subordinate so soon! You did well!''
''It's all thanks to Mr. Zhang's modesty; White Horse was impressed,'' Chester replied with flattery.
White Horse made obeisance and bowed hurriedly before he spoke respectfully, ''Mr. Zhang, I am
White Horse, and I will be under your command.''
