The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 4503

Chapter 4503

Morticia was wise though. She knew that it was difficult for her to do it alone and complete the monumental task Archfiend Antigonus gave to her, so she decided to have a discussion with the officials.

At that moment, Morticia took a leisurely sip of tea and said with a smile. "Why is everyone panicking? I won't harm you as long as you serve me wholeheartedly, and I'll even give you riches and glory for the rest of your life! You'll enjoy it immensely."

The officials all smiled sheepishly when they heard that and displayed an indescribable sense of humility and respect.

Morticia was very satisfied to see their response.

"I called you over because I need your help to figure out how to recruit talents from the world of cultivators," she said, smiling.

Her delicate face beamed with confidence when she said that but she still felt somewhat worried. Morticia was actually very powerful, being one of the Twelve Fiend Martyrs. Unfortunately, she was alone and her influence would still be rather weak even if she allied with the New World Royals. After all, the entire Nine Mainland was vast and capable individuals existed in untold numbers. Relying on that meager bit of strength was hardly sufficient to conquer them all.

After hearing that, the officials looked at each other and felt that they were in a tight spot. To think that a Fiend Martyr showed a desire to recruit talents from the world of cultivators! Doing so was easier said than done though, i

Morticia frowned when she saw their expressions and said unhappily, "What's wrong? Do you really need so much time to consider a matter as trivial as this? You don’t need to show up in front of me anymore if you don’t give me a satisfactory answer within half an hour."

Her voice was pleasantly crisp yet bone-chilling at the same time.

'We're done for!’ the officials thought.

Morticia's powerful aura struck fear into the officials and they exchanged glances with each other. They initially considered just brushing off her request, but that did not seem to be a viable option anymore.

A look of panic streaked past their eyes and one of the Master Generals had an idea. He stepped forward immediately and asked cautiously, "Your Excellency, I have a proposal. Let's issue a notice to call for heroes in the queen's name. We'll invite ambitious individuals from all over the world of cultivation to come to our royal city and participate in a martial arts competition.

"The grand champion will be conferred a rank of nobility and receive an official residence as a reward. Those who make the top ten will receive generous rewards as well."

Back at the Sealed Fiend Mountain, Sergio took advantage of Yvette's fierce battle with Thoth to sneak in. He later ran into Darryl again and leveraged the urgency of the situation to escape using devious means, i

Sergio did not have the luxury of resting after his escape, for he feared that Darryl might catch up to him. He came all the way to the South Cloud World and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure of his safety.

Half a day earlier, he saw many people coming to the South Cloud Royal City from all corners of the world of cultivation. Out of sheer curiosity, he decided to check things out.

Sergio looked around while standing on the street and noticed a group of people gathered near a royal notice not far away. He suddenly decided to go over and squeeze through the crowd.

Sergio's eyes flickered as soon as he saw what was written on the royal notice. He could not hide his excitement and enthusiasm. The South Cloud Palace was going to hold a tournament. It provided a good opportunity for him to finally make a name for himself.

After all, he would never have to fear Darryl's pursuit if he was lucky enough to win first place and receive the South Cloud Royals' support!
