That day, Darryl had truly shown up at Mount Hua. All Audrey wanted was to stay at the main hall and cherish the chance to see him.
Seeing her disobeying her Master's orders, Levi's face sank and he was about to rage.
'Audrey is being more and more disobedient.'
"Master, let me go…" However, Laurel scurried over and shouted. Then, he said to Darryl gently, "Maybe Senior Sister has something else to attend to. I'll bring you to the elixir warehouse."
She knew her Senior Sister adored Darryl the most. When 'Darryl' was there, she certainly would not leave easily.
"Hmm!" Despite that situation, Darryl did not take it to heart. He nodded and he was about to leave the main hall with Laurel.
After taking a few steps, Darryl had an idea and he changed his mind. 'The impersonator must have come to Mount Hua with an agenda. I should stay back to see what's up.'
"Ah…" After making that decision, Darryl faked an agonizing look and shouted. He then pressed his stomach and sat down on the chair next to him.
"What happened to you?" Laurel was startled and she asked.
At the same time, Levi also quickly stood up and looked at Darryl with concern. "Darren, what's wrong?"
However, Salvatore and Audrey remained calm.
"I'm fine!" Darryl forced a smile and waved his hand. "It may be because of the injury just now. It's fine, Sect Leader Schwaznero. Can I rest in the main hall for a while before going to get the inner core of the enchanted beast?"
Indeed, Darryl pretended to be in pain so that he could find an excuse to stay in the main hall for the time being. He could also investigate the agenda of the impersonator coming to Mount Hua.
Hearing that Darryl was fine, Levi felt relieved and he nodded. "Of course, you can."
Audrey who stood aside looked with contempt. "You have so many requests…"
Feeling Audrey's attitude, Darryl secretly smiled and disregarded her.
At that moment, Laurel thoughtfully brought a hot cup of tea. Darryl thanked her, took a sip of the tea, and pretended to rest.
'Which sect is the Sea Dragon Palace? Is it a newly risen force?'
As Darryl felt suspicious, Salvatore added, "The Sea Dragon Palace is extremely powerful. After fighting with them over a few rounds, many from the Elysium Gate died, especially the chief of the Sea Dragon Palace. His power was unfathomable. So, I'm here to ask for your help, Sect Master Schwaznero."
"Since Sect Master Darby has invited, the entire Mount Hua will be duty-bound." Levi nodded and answered seriously, "Afterward, I'll gather all my disciples…"
Levi was extremely emotional. Darryl asking for help in person indicated that he looked up to Mount Hua. He thought he must provide help.
Little did Levi know that the Sea Dragon Palace had been exterminated at the Heaven Watcher a few days ago.
"Of course. Of course…" Seeing Levi being decisive, Salvatore quickly stood up and waved his hand. "Sect Master Schwaznero, I don't need your soldiers. I only need to borrow your Bloodwing Battlegear. I'm not afraid to let you know that I've gone against the chief of the Sea Dragon Palace and I haven't been able to defeat him. That's why I thought I'd borrow the Bloodwing Battlegear from you."
Salvatore sounded sincere as he spoke, but his eyes flickered with cunningness.
Indeed, his final goal in coming to Mount Hua was to get their treasure—the Bloodwing Battlegear.
