Darryl took a deep breath. He forced himself to stay strong and not think of Yvette anymore. Then, he walked toward the direction of the World Universe. He had to rush back there to check up on Chester and Dax.
As he thought about that, he quickened his steps. However, he did not walk far when a few people approached him hastily.
'F*ck! Please don't tell me they are from the Heaven Union Sect?'
Darryl naturally became cautious, and at the same time, he was also a little anxious.
His arms had only begun to heal, and his internal energy was not fully regained yet. If he were to fight, he would not win!
Finally, those people arrived right in front of him!
All of the men wore a black brocade coat. Those clothes were not meant for ordinary people; they must be of high status!
"Prince Consort!"
Suddenly, the leader stepped forward and bowed politely to Darryl. "I am Gary, the guards' team leader appointed by the Empress. Her Majesty found out that you had exited the ancient tomb and were attacked by various sects. So, she specifically sent me to rescue you!"
The men behind Gary nodded in agreement.
'Prince Consort?' Darryl was baffled when he heard that, but he managed to snap back to his senses quickly. When he was in Lu Bu's ancient tomb, the South Cloud Empress had appointed him as the Prince Consort; he was to be married to Quincy Long.
That was right! Gary was the team leader for the royal guards. The South Cloud Empress had left the ancient tomb first with her army. When they returned to the South Cloud World, she heard that Darryl had been attacked, so she immediately sent Gary to help him.
However, when Gary arrived at the World Universe, Sonya had already kidnapped Darryl. So, Gary could only bring his men to the Heaven Union Sect to investigate the matter, yet to no avail. That was because, at that time, Queenie had released Darryl.
They had no choice, so Gary expanded his search with the Heaven Union Sect as their base. On that particular day, they had passed by the New World Royal City. They did not expect that they would stumble upon Darryl there.
'F*ck! They're the South Cloud's royal guards. I thought they're from the Heaven Union Sect. What a scare!'
Darryl muttered discreetly in his mind. Then, he smiled at Gary and said, "It looks like you've worked hard to find me! You can tell the Empress that I'm fine. She doesn't have to worry about me!"
Then, Darryl turned and was about to leave them.
Gary panicked. He blocked Darryl's path and said politely, "Prince Consort, Her Majesty has ordered us to bring you back safely with us. She is waiting for your wedding to Quincy Long. So, please, come with us!"
'What? Follow you back to the South Cloud World?'
When he heard Gary's words, Darryl did not know whether to laugh or to cry. He immediately refused the man. "No, I can't do that. I have an emergency to attend to. Please, you may head back there yourselves!"
'Uh…' Gary was a little torn. "Prince Consort, Her Majesty has strict orders for us to bring you back. We do not dare to defy her. Please don't make this hard for us."
It was so hard for them to have found Darryl. If they were to let him go, how would they face the Empress?
"Hey!" Darryl was speechless. He did not know whether to cry or laugh; he stared at Gary. "Can't you just say you did not see me?"
Dax and Chester had managed to split apart during the messy battle.
"You idiots! I'll remember this!" Dax yelled angrily and continued his attack as the situation got out of control. He waved his axes to force the people in front of him to step back. Then, he turned and ran into the distance.
Even though he had a fiery temper, he was not an idiot.
He did not know where Chester was at that moment; if he were to continue with the fight by himself, it would mean his eventual death.
"You dare to run?" Megan sneered and leapt forward to chase after him.
"Master Castello, I'll help you!"
A handsome figure appeared amongst the crowd and followed Megan. They chased after Dax—it was Tianshan's Chelsea Rye!
For the past ten years, the World Universe's sects had produced many talents, and Chelsea from Tianshan School was one of the best!
She was barely 30 years old and was already a level five Martial Saint. She was quite well-known amongst the cultivators in the World Universe.
Tianshan Sect Master had also chosen her to be their sect's next sect master; one could deduce that she had a high position in the denomination.
Megan did not notice that Chelsea had followed her as her eyes were locked onto Dax!
