As he talked, Darryl secretly glanced at the cave behind him and prayed in his heart. 'Debra, Rachelle… Please stay safe and wait for me to come back.'
The divine soldiers responded and escorted Darryl toward the direction of the Hidden Hero Sect's headquarters.
Back in the cave, Debra and Rachelle were scared witless as they waited for something to happen…but nothing did. They realized the general did not bring the other divine soldiers into the cave and left instead, much to their confusion.
'What's going on? Why didn't the general take us away? Did he forget about us? But how can he forget about this?'
Debra and Rachelle, unable to come up with the answers themselves, decided to put aside their questions and continued to concentrate on unlocking their acupoints with their internal energy.
After half an hour, Rachelle was the first one to unlock her acupoints. She exhaled deeply and helped Debra to unlock her acupoints. Once they could move freely, they did not leave the cave immediately. Instead, they hid beside the entrance of the cave to listen to the outside's situation. Once they confirmed there was no divine soldier guarding outside, they left the cave.
When they were outside, Debra took a deep breath and said, "Chester and the rest are safe. We don't need to go back to the Hidden Hero Sect now. Why don't you go to Donghai City with me?"
Donghai City was the founding place of the Elysium Gate. When Chester, Ambrose, and the rest were safe, they surely would return there.
Rachelle nodded. With that, she and Debra headed toward Donghai City.
…
Darryl and the other divine soldiers were flying in the sky. As the headquarters of the Hidden Hero Sect was getting closer, he was more anxious. 'Darn it. I won't have a chance if I don't think of something now!' he thought while his mind raced for a plan.
Suddenly, he yelled behind him, "Master Magaera!"
The divine soldiers stopped immediately and looked to the back after hearing that.
With that opportunity, Darryl concentrated his force on his palms and slammed them at the back of the two divine soldiers, causing an audible blast. Before the two divine soldiers knew what happened, they were blown away and passed out once they dropped to the ground.
'What?' The other divine soldiers were shocked, but they quickly snapped out of it and surrounded Darryl.
"He's an imposter!"
"Capture him!"
The divine soldiers activated their divine power and attacked Darryl. Naturally, Darryl was not about to fight head-on with them. They were not far away from the headquarters of the Hidden Hero Sect. If they engaged in a fight, it would easily attract the other divine soldiers here.
If they accidentally alerted Master Magaera, Darryl would never be able to escape. Without any hesitation, he rushed to the divine soldier at the front of the group and attacked him. Later, he turned around and ran away.
The divine soldiers chased after him. Several minutes later, the divine soldiers and Darryl arrived at the seaside.
'F*ck!' Darryl cursed when there was no road ahead of him as he was at a cliff. He stopped running since he was far enough from Hidden Hero Sect's headquarters. He was not afraid there would be reinforcement coming. Although he was not at his strongest, he could deal with the divine soldiers chasing after him.
