Archfiend Antigonus did not wish to stoop to using such dirty tricks.
Yet he had no choice. Yvette was stubborn and unwilling to yield—that was the only way that would work.
Antigonus continued to read the chant as Yvette's pupils slowly grew hollow before her expression fell neutral.
Finally, the Mind Control Spell was complete. Yvette had entirely forgotten about the past and only knew that she was one of Archfiend Antigonus' men. She bowed respectfully and said, "Master."
Archfiend Antigonus could not contain his excitement; he nodded with a grin. "Off you go then, back to the Nine Mainland. Take down anyone that comes in the way of the fiend race's victory."
"Yes, Master."
……
Over at the Imperial Sky Palace.
The news about how Archfiend Antigonus had sent his men to ask for Darryl Darby in exchange for the Ancient Ancestor had spread far and wide in the Imperial Sky Palace, and everyone was talking about it.
The Nine Heaven Emperor immediately summoned the officials to discuss the matter.
The Nine Heaven Emperor sat on his throne with an ashen expression. The Ancient Ancestor's fairy soul was with Archfiend Antigonus. That was a great humiliation to the Godly Region.
Empress Nuwa sat next to him, and she looked solemn as well.
"Senior Sister!"
The Nine Heaven Emperor turned toward Empress Nuwa and asked, "What do you think about Archfiend Antigonus asking for Darryl Darby in exchange for the Ancient Ancestor's fairy soul?"
The Nine Heaven Emperor was enraged and helpless.
He wanted nothing more than to attack the Sealed Fiend Mountain. At the thought of risking the Ancient Ancestor's safety, he did not dare do so.
More importantly, Archfiend Antigonus saw Darryl as immensely important. What if they handed him and let the fiend race get the upper hand?
"This is not as easy as we think it is."
Empress Nuwa paused before speaking slowly, "Archfiend Antigonus has the Ancient Ancestor's fairy soul, which already gives him the upper hand, and yet, he's hellbent on getting Darryl Darby. It's clear that Darryl Darby is the key here."
Empress Nuwa continued to say, "I'm guessing that the Holy Sky Stone predictions had something to do with him."
