"Your Excellency Darryl! Something bad has happened," the envoy said to Darryl in a panicked tone.
Darryl took a deep breath and asked, "What's the matter? Speak slowly, don't panic!"
The envoy almost burst out in tears. He was covered in a cold sweat as he spoke very anxiously, "Your Excellency Darryl, someone broke into the depths of the underworld and stole the Devil Sealed Mirror!"
'What?!' Everyone was shocked. Darryl could not fathom how anyone could do that when the Ghost World had fortified its security after the ugly man forced his way into the depths of the underworld.
When they came to, Chester and the others were puzzled. 'What is the Devil Sealed Mirror?' It was only natural for them not to know since they did not know anything about Archfiend Antigonus. However, they could tell from the envoy's panic that it was no ordinary thing.
Aware of everyone's puzzlement, Darryl told them about Archfiend Antigonus in detail. That stunned Chester and the rest even more to the extent that it was a long time before anyone could speak.
However, Yvette had a complex expression on her delicate face. Her ancestor, Janson, was a subordinate of Archfiend Antigonus. She wondered how that would affect her since the Devil Sealed Mirror had been taken out of the depths of the underworld.
'D*mn it!' Neil, who was standing on the other side, clenched his fists angrily. 'So that's why Skylar wanted me to steal my father's ghost token. It was so that he could go into the Ghost World to save the Archfiend Antigonus.'
He was filled with instant regret. He would rather die than let that happen. However, everything was already too late.
Silence descended while a depressing atmosphere enveloped everyone.
Finally, Darryl snapped back to his senses and asked the envoy, "Do you know who that person is?"
Darryl and the Heavenly Alliance had scoured the entire Nine Mainland for the ugly man but came up empty-handed.
"That person's name is Skylar Blanc," the envoy replied immediately.
His expression became sorrowful and angry as he continued to say, "He also admitted that he was the ugly man who broke into the Ghost World the first time. He asked his subordinate to use the ghost token to find the location of the Devil Sealed Mirror, and then he disguised himself to enter the depths of the underworld when it was confirmed the mirror was there. By the way, the ghost token that Skylar's subordinate took belongs to His Excellency Chester."
'That d*mn Skylar!' Darryl's head began to buzz. 'No wonder we can't find the ugly man! And how did his subordinate get Chester's ghost token?' He glanced at Chester.
'My ghost token?!' Chester was also taken aback. 'How is that possible? I've hidden it in the secret cultivation room and have never taken it out since three years ago when I untangled myself from the previous King of the Dead's control. There's no way that's possible!'
Chester hurriedly to the secret room in the backyard, with Darryl and the others following closely behind him.
