Chapter 3729
Three years ago, Donoghue had died after Yennie devoured his power as the King of Death. For a while, the Ghost World was without a ruler. Later, Ileana returned and established herself as the new Queen of Death. 1
She had always been the Queen of Death, making her position extraordinary. No one in the entire Ghost World dared to object to her ascension to the throne. After she came into power, she drew up many new regulations, and one was tightening defense around the underworld.
Darryl remained calm. "I'm not a lost soul. I've come from the Nine Mainland, and I am here to conduct some important business. " 1
Dane and the other underworld soldiers' expressions changed.
Dane laughed coldly and said, "It is brave of a human to come here. Have you thought of the consequences you will face for barging into the Ghost World?" 1
Immediately, the underworld soldiers surrounded him. They found it really suspicious for a human to be there willingly.
Darryl did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Now, now, my name is Darryl, and the Ancient Ancestor has bestowed me with the title of Nine Heaven Sage. He had asked to seal Archfiend Antigonus in the Ghost World's deepest nether. This matter is of the utmost importance and should not be delayed."
He remained relaxed. After all, they would not be stupid enough to do anything to the Nine Heaven Sage, right?
Dane and the other underworld soldiers furrowed their brows.' Ancient Ancestor? Nine Heaven Sage? Archfiend? What is he talking about? He must be crazy.'
"Silence! I have enough of your nonsense. You dare call yourself the Nine Heaven Sage? Men, take him to the Queen of Death!" Dane shouted angrily.
It seemed like the news about Darryl being the new Nine Heaven Sage had not reached the Ghost World, so it was not surprising that Dane, a mere soldier, had not heard of him. He was sure that Darryl was a human being who had mistakenly intruded into the Ghost World.
Immediately, more than a dozen underworld soldiers pounced on him. Darryl was about to fight them but stopped when he heard Dane mention the Queen of Death. 'Didn't Donoghue die when Bonnie devoured his power? Is there a new sovereign?'
Darryl gave up and let them tie him up. He had thought it through; it would be easier for him to complete his mission if the Ghost World had a new ruler.
Dane and about a dozen soldiers escorted Darryl into the underworld city. Darryl gasped when he entered the city—even though there were many shops, making it seem lively, the patrons and pedestrians were all miserable-looking ghosts. The scene brought chills to his heart. 2
He could not help but think of Chester Wilson. Chester had strayed into the Ghost World and was forced to be part of the King of Death's envoy. Later, he angered the King, so he was imprisoned for a long time. It was hard to imagine how much Chester had suffered in such a place.
