"While our plan seemed to have worked, Master Magaera and the divine soldiers are no fools either."
Immediately, Dax and the others also started to worry.
'That's right. We can't repeat the same trick.'
"Fret not, Brother Chester." Seeing everyone worried, Darryl smiled and comforted, saying, "I have an idea."
Immediately, everyone gathered around.
Chester looked expectant and he asked, "What is it?"
Darryl exhaled and explained his idea, "I'll first return and tell Master Magaera as a divine soldier that you've escaped and that instead of catching up to you, the other divine soldiers and I ran into the supreme leader of fiends, Antigonus. Master Magaera is rather conceited, and he won't catch the Sect Master of the Eternal Life Palace Sect on his own, but when he hears about the supreme leader of the fiends, Antigonus, he'd certainly do something about it.
"I just need to think of a way to lure Master Magaera out. Then, the members of the Hidden Hero Sect can be rescued."
A small smile graced Darryl's face, but deep down, he was flustered.
Truth be told, returning alone to see Master Magaera was death courting. After all, Darryl's divine power within his body had not entirely recovered. Once his identity got exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Though Darryl was a Royal Master and Master Magaera would not dare to do anything to him, it was the Nine Mainland and not the Godly Region. Without Aurin next to him, Darryl might not be able to defend himself if Master Magaera had ill intentions against him.
Alas, they had no other choice. Otherwise, the members of the Hidden Hero Sect would be stuck in the secret tunnel, and sooner or later, Master Magaera would find them.
'That…'
At that moment, after hearing Darryl's plan, Chester, Dax, and the others looked at each other and instinctively rejected it.
"No way!" Chester was the first to gather his thoughts, and he shook his head. "It's too dangerous for you to return alone."
Immediately, Dax added, "That's right. Master Magaera's power is unfathomable. Plus, his powers are extraordinary. Are you sure he won't recognize you?"
Then, Dax gripped the Sky Breaking Axe tightly and looked determined. "If you insist, let's return together."
