After some time, the Empress fell into a deep sleep.
The sky outside had brightened.
Darryl embraced the Empress; he felt helpless!
F*ck!
He had slipped into the palace that night to investigate Lord Kenny's secret, but he ended up spending the night with the Empress.
The depressed Darryl quietly got up and left the palace quickly!
He would be in trouble if the Empress were to wake up then.
Soon, Darryl was back at the place where he separated from Sara the day before that. From a distance, he could see that Sara was already there as she waited for him.
"Brother!"
Sara greeted Darryl hurriedly and said, "Last night, I learned that most of these forces want to experience the Nine Saint Oracle's beauty; some of them want to take this opportunity to be famous all over the world. This information seems useless to us!"
Darryl nodded silently.
Sara asked, "What about you? Did you get any news?"
Well…
Darryl was embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "The palace is heavily guarded. I've been investigating all night, but nothing stands out."
How could he tell Sara about what had happened between him and the Empress?
When Darryl talked, they heard a commotion from the palace. Suddenly, many cultivators rushed in that direction.
"Brother, I heard them say that the South Cloud World royal family is holding a meeting to discuss how to build the Profound Heaven Great Formation. Let's go and take a look!" Sara said excitedly as she held Darryl's hand.
Darryl nodded. Then, he and Sara followed the crowd to the prayer altar.
