Chang Er had it all planned. After she returned to the palace, she would summon the civil and military officials to the city’s outskirts and get Darryl to tell everyone that he had caused Hou Yi’s death. She wanted to prove that she was innocent.
Darryl did not respond immediately; he took a deep breath helplessly.
He could understand Chang Er’s intention, but he would have to offer his life if he were to go to the Royal City. Yang Jian had issued an order to hunt him down.
Furthermore, he had also used some chili powder to hurt Yang Jian’s Howling Celestial Dog. If Yang Jian learned the truth, he would probably attack Darryl the moment he spotted him. How could Darryl stop Yang Jian if that happened?
Darryl was embarrassed to relay his concern. He thought that would make him less heroic and brave, and Chang Er would look down on him.
“Lady Chang Er.”
Tu Xingsun looked solemn as he spoke to Chang Er. “We must never return to the Royal City at this time.”
Tu Xingsun took a deep breath and continued to say, “Yang Jian had sent all royal guards on duty on a search and put the Royal City under a state of emergency. Lady Chang Er, I’m afraid they’ll find you even before you manage to enter the Royal City.”
‘What?’
Chang Er was shocked; she furrowed her eyebrows because she was worried.
‘The imperial city is under a state of emergency? Does that mean I can’t summon the civil and military ministers? Then, what can I do?’
Chang Er bit her lips anxiously; she did not know what to do next.
“Lady Chang Er!”
Darryl smiled and said, “In this case, why don’t you come to the World Universe continent with me. Let’s stay away from here for a while and plan our next move.”
Darryl was no longer in the mood to stay in North Moana when he found out that Lily and the others had gone to the World Universe.
Darryl was taken aback; he thought that Yang Jian had brought his army. His eyes were fixed toward the direction of the woods; he was ready to escape if things went south.
Chang Er and Tu Xingsun also stood on alert.
The next second, thousands of people walked out of the woods. They were not from Yang Jian’s army, but they wore the same clothing embroidered with a special marking.
Darryl was taken aback at first, and then he was surprised and delighted.
They were the Holy Saint Sect disciples from North Moana.
Darryl saw a few familiar faces among those people—Diana Olsen, Harvey Wave, Donna Bush, the Ryukin Gold Altar Master, Alan Cirrus, and other people from the other branch altars.
The Holy Saint Sect had arranged for its disciples to descend the mountain for an expedition.
