'Oh, good!' Darryl took a deep breath; he was relieved. Fortunately, the palace maids and the eunuchs were not around to witness him when he entered the Empress' room. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why he was there. Hiss… As he muttered in his heart, Darryl stole another glance at the Empress, and he drew in a sharp breath. He was stuck; he could no longer move his eyes away from the Empress. The Empress laid on the soft bed, and she wore only silk innerwear. Her charming curves were simply indescribably beautiful. Her eyes were slightly closed as her long eyelashes trembled slightly. It was too sultry. The Empress was really sexy. Darryl finally recovered his senses after he stood there for a few minutes. 'Why did I get so fascinated? I better leave quickly while the Empress is asleep.'Would the Empress forgive him if she woke up then? Darryl thought to himself; he was about to leave. Sigh... As soon as he turned around, he heard the Empress sighed

Quincy no longer felt as nervous as before—she only felt anger. The b*stard had made her nervous all night for nothing, and she waited all night for nothing. D*mn it! Darryl's heart skipped a beat when he felt her anger; he got a little nervous. Quincy could not have found out about what had happened between him and the Empress, could she? After all, the two rooms were not far too away from each other. Quincy did hear what the Empress said the previous night. However, she also knew that the Empress often took the Illusion Pill to see the Emperor in her dreams, so Quincy thought that the Empress was having an intimate time with the Emperor. "I—" Darryl scratched his head and said with a smile, "I was arranging for the army to deploy the defense mechanism for Lilydale City." Darryl did not look at Quincy in the eye when he said that. After all, he did not even have the confidence to lie after he had done something wrong. Quincy snorted coldly and said, "Did you need

Yang Jian had intentionally described the situation in detail to Zhang Jue the night before; he also mentioned Darryl's Thousand Woods Mystery Formation. After he learned about the situation, Zhang Jue chuckled and assured Yang Jian that he could handle it. Zhang Jue was also familiar with the Thousand Woods Mystery Formation. "Your Majesty, don't worry. You can just watch the battle from the side and see how I break Lilydale City's defense," Zhang Jue responded plainly before he raised himself into the air. "Everybody, listen to my order! Attack!" A few cold words echoed from Zhang Jue's mouth—he was not loud, but his voice spread throughout Lilydale City. "Attack!" The North Moana Army issued an earth-shattering howl upon the command, and they went forth like a tide toward Lilydale City. What? Darryl was stunned, and he watched Zhang Jue in surprise. He was puzzled. 'Who is this? I didn't see him yesterday. Is he their new recruit?' Darryl stopped brooding about it

There were reports that the North Moana Army had camped on a mountain dozens of kilometers north of the South Cloud Royal City. After a few hours of rest, they would probably attack the Royal City. Once the Royal City had fallen, the entire South Cloud World would be completely finished."Everyone!"The Empress looked around her; she was worried and sorrowful. "Is there any way to stop the North Moana Army?"The civil and military officials looked at each other, and no one came forward to make a suggestion. The entire hall fell silent.Alright!The Empress breathed a long sigh as she looked at Darryl. "Not even you, Darryl?"There was a glimmer of hope in her eyes when she said that. Darryl smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said, "Your Majesty, I can't do anything as well."Darryl was dejected. Since he became a cultivator, Darryl had been extremely confident in everything he did, especially about formation techniques. Darryl believed that he could be the most well-lear

Darryl pondered that as he stopped smiling. He looked at the Empress and said, "Your Majesty, you are wrong. Yang Jian may be a gentleman on the surface, but he is a cunning and despicable villain. If you hand this royal jade seal to him, he will only agree to your conditions verbally, but he will never honor his words after he gains control over the South Cloud World."As soon as Emperor Hou Yi died, Yang Jian had usurped the throne almost immediately and proclaimed himself the next Emperor. He claimed to have found out the truth about Hou Yi's death, but what had happened in the end? He merely wanted to capture Chang Er and forced her to be his woman. Then, he began to send his troops to conquer other continents.He was not someone who would honor his words, so he was a villain, was he not?Err…When she saw Darryl's serious expression, the Empress knew that he was not joking. She bit her lips and pondered her next move.'That's true. What if Yang Jian turned back on his words?
