"Lord General!" The general stood firm and carefully reported, "The one who escaped was Chester Wilson, the Sect Master of the Eternal Life Palace Sect. This man is famous in the Nine Mainland.
"Worry not, Lord General; more than a hundred generals have chased after him. I believe he'll soon be caught."
As the general stood, he was fearful. After all, he was responsible for patrol that night, and he was guilty that one person escaped. Moreover, the news of Chester escaping was reported by a divine soldier from below.
Little did the general know that Chester had indeed escaped while Dax and the others followed.
'Hmm…' Hearing that, Master Magaera hummed absentmindedly. 'I can't change anything about Chester Wilson escaping. As long as the members of the Hidden Hero Sect are still around, survivors of the Yellow Emperor won't be able to escape.'
"Lord General!" Suddenly, a panicking divine soldier ran in, shouting, "Oh, no… Oh, no!"
Immediately, the divine soldier knelt on the ground with his head lowered nervously.
It was Darryl.
Seeing him looking flustered, everyone including Master Magaera and the generals standing aside frowned unhappily.
Then, the general could not help but scold, "Why are you shouting? How dare you!"
Master Magaera, too, was displeased but did not air his grievance. Instead, he frowned and said, "What is so urgent?"
At that moment, Darryl wore armor and a helmet, so Master Magaera could not recognize him. More importantly, Darryl also used a mimic technique to change his voice so that Master Magaera would not notice it was him.
"Lord General!" Darryl lay on the ground and faked a nervous look. "We chased after Chester Wilson just now, having surrounded him when we got to a river, but the supreme leader of the fiends appeared and killed many generals. Noticing that the situation was getting out of hand, I quickly returned to report the situation."
As he spoke, he kept his head lowered and stared at the ground, avoiding eye contact with Master Magaera.
He knew that Master Magaera was meticulous and knew he should be cautious.
'What?'
