Darryl was so angry he wanted to do something to kill White Horse. However, he controlled himself. There were many people from the sects around and he had no proof. If he killed White Horse, everyone would be talking about him and it would be detrimental to his reputation in the Elysium Gate.
‘I’ll spare this guy for now. I’ll wait until I find Brother Chester, then I shall confront him,’ he thought, not dwelling on it anymore.
However, White Horse did not plan to give up just like that. He was delighted to see Darryl was speechless.
“Sect Master Darby, since you can’t produce any evidence on the matter with Sect Master Wilson, we won’t discuss it for now. However, I have a question for you,” he questioned.
Then, he pointed at Ileana, who was standing behind Darryl. “Who is this woman? How did she know to form the Portal Formation to leave the King of Death’s Cauldron? Forgive me for being overly suspicious, but this is too strange of an occurrence.”
White Horse looked really serious, but his eyes looked hideous.
‘Sh*t, he is still trying to give me trouble!’ Darryl thought.
After White Horse spoke, everyone’s gaze was focused on Ileana and they started to feel suspicious too.
‘That’s right, the woman beside Darryl appeared all of a sudden, yet she knew the way to get out of the King of Death’s Cauldron. It’s very hard for us not to be suspicious,’ everyone wondered.
Darryl did not panic when he faced everyone’s scrutiny. Instead, he replied casually, “Her identity? Earlier, I had been lured into the Demon Pagoda by the Mirror Devils and I met her at the top of the pagoda. She was trapped there for 500 years and I was the one who helped her escape. She’s become my female follower to repay me. Do you have a problem with that?”
Darryl’s face looked calm when he said that. At that moment, only Darryl knew Ileana had a feud with the King of the Dead. He was not aware she was the King of the Dead’s wife and the Queen of the Ghost World.
‘Female follower? Trapped for 500 years?!’ Everyone was stunned.
A lady who was trapped in the Demon Pagoda for 500 years would have turned to ash! Even if a cultivator reached an extremely high level to extend their life, the Demon Pagoda was still an extremely dangerous place. No matter how powerful the woman was, there was no way she would have survived.
