Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 3723

"Tsk tsk, it's been quite a while, hasn't it, Ancient Ancestor? I see that you're still as imposing as ever." The sound was like a blast of thunder, resounded through the sky above the Imperial Sky Palace. At the same time, heaven and earth had darkened.

Suddenly, everyone could sense a terrifying force rapidly condensing outside the palace. That force was different from the mighty wrath of the Ancient Ancestor—it was filled with evil.

Everyone's expressions changed. Even though tens of thousands of years had passed, they could still recognize the voice. There was no doubt about it—Archfiend Antigonus had arrived.

Meanwhile, the Ghost Valley Sage was sitting cross-legged in the dark cell where he was imprisoned. He looked weak and had lost all his former glory. It had been five days since he was thrown in there, and he had no news from the outside world.

Suddenly, he heard the door open, and Odlin and Darryl walked in.

"Darryl?" The Ghost Valley Sage was surprised to see him there. His first thought was that Odlin had captured Darryl.

"Master!" Darryl was overcome with emotion when he saw his master. He rushed forward and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Master. This is all my fault."

Sorrow filled his heart at seeing the Ghost Valley Sage dirty and pale. The Ghost Valley Sage was the most unusual man in that era, with many people looking up to him, and yet because of Darryl, he was reduced to a dirty old man. How could Darryl not be saddened by it?

The Ghost Valley Sage smiled at Darryl in a bid to make him feel better. Then his expression turned solemn as he asked, "What are you doing here?" He glanced at Odlin with vigilance.

Darryl took a deep breath and said, "I've come to get you, Master."

"Nonsense! This is the Imperial Sky Palace's prison. How can you take me away? Forget about me and quickly go back to Nine Mainland," the Ghost Valley Sage said, panicking.

He had no idea why Odlin was with Darryl, but he knew that there was no way Darryl could single-handedly break him out of prison. After all, countless soldiers and generals guarded the prison—security was tight. Of course, he had no idea that Darryl had been bestowed the title of the Nine Heaven Sage.

Darryl smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master. Everything is well."

"Your Excellency, this is not a suitable place to have a conversation. Why don't we take Mister Ghost Valley away from here first?" Odlin said courteously.

The Ghost Valley Sage was stunned. He frowned and asked, "What did you call him?"

"Mister Ghost Valley, His Excellency Darryl is now our Nine Heaven Sage, which makes him second only to the Nine Heaven Emperor—" Odlin replied honestly.

Odlin, who was highly valued by the Nine Heaven Emperor and who also had high authority, would never be so respectful toward Darryl in normal circumstances. However, since he was the Nine Heaven Sage, he had no choice but to behave respectfully toward him.

The Ghost Valley Sage was stunned. He stared at Darryl blankly, not knowing what to say.
