Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 3742

Since the Heavenly Alliance's establishment, the world of cultivators' structure in the Nine Mainland had shattered. It seemed calm on the surface, but there was a raging undercurrent below it.

Master Leonard was very anxious about that, yet he could do nothing about it. Rogart was an envoy from the Godly Region, which made him untouchable. Darryl might just be the person to break that deadlock. After all, he was generally acknowledged as the Nine Mainland's hero.

"The Nine Mainland is blessed with your return," Master Reed said.

The other sect masters went to greet him as well. The atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant when a discordant, sarcastic voice suddenly said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Isn't it the famous Elysium Gate's sect master? It's amazing how you're still alive!"

Everyone turned to the voice—they saw a few Heavenly Alliance disciples making their way toward them quickly. The leader was donned in fancy soft armor, and there was no mistaking that cocky, villainous face for anyone else's other than Cayden.

Cayden was an intelligent person. After Rogart imprisoned the eight Oracles, Cayden won his trust with his extraordinary flattery. Finally, he was promoted to the guardian of the Heavenly Alliance. He was in charge of planning the celebration feast.

Darryl frowned at him. 'That guy looks familiar. I think he's called Cayden. Wasn't he the sect master of a small sect? It seems like the Heavenly Alliance is treating him well.'

Cayden swaggered into the room and sized Darryl up. "Hey, it's really you, Master Darby." Then he mock-slapped his mouth and said, "Oops, I forgot that you're not Elysium Gate's sect master anymore. Welcome back, Darryl, but don't think that you've come back to the same Nine Mainland as three years ago. The entire Nine Mainland is now under the Heavenly Alliance's jurisdiction, so you should put away your past glories and keep your head down."

Cayden was gloating. He remembered how the Elysium Gate suppressed him in the past because of the shameful deeds he did in the world of cultivators. However, with his new position, he did not need to fear the Nine Mainland's ex-hero. He thought he should take that opportunity to humiliate him publicly. He knew that Darryl was very powerful, but they were in Cayden's territory, after all. So, he was sure that Darryl would not dare do anything to him.

"Guardian Cayden, please watch your tone while speaking to Darryl."

"Yes, he might cripple you if you anger him."

The men around Cayden and the other sects who were not on good terms with Elysium Gate began to mock Darryl.

Darryl ignored them. Cayden was nothing but a traitorous clown. Quarreling with him would only bring Darryl down.

However, Debra did not feel the same way. "Guardian Cayden, my husband and I have come to the banquet as the representatives of Elysium Gate, Flower Mountain, and Eternal Life Palace Sect. You should be ashamed of yourself for speaking to your guests like that."

Cayden's face flushed with embarrassment, and he was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Debra, ignore him. We don't need to waste our breath on people like him. Besides, would you bite a dog if it bit you?" Darryl said in a low voice.

Debra laughed, and her face bloomed prettily, stunning all the men around her.
