Darryl had a look of indignation on her face, but deep down, he was thrilled.
'Haha! The fiends have been led astray by me. You guys can guess slowly. I shall take advantage of this crisis,' he thought.
Then, he hit his forehead and shouted, "Sh*t!"
Immediately, Archfiend Antigonus and the other Fiend Martyrs were stunned. Archfiend Antigonus knitted his brows and said, "Blaise, what happened?"
The other Fiend Martyrs looked at Darryl, confused.
Darryl put on a flustered look and said, "Your Excellency, if there really is a traitor among the fiends, will the location of where Ancient Ancestor's fairy soul Ancestor is hidden get leaked, too?"
Immediately, Archfiend Antigonus nodded with a serious face, stood up, and scurried towards a secret tunnel behind the palace.
At the same time, he said to Darryl, Thoth, and the other Fiend Martyrs, "All of you, stay here. Pass my orders to increase patrols on the Sealed Fiend Mountain. No one is allowed to leave without my say so."
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Thoth and a few Fiend Martyrs answered and went to get ready.
Darryl felt inexplicably excited. 'I've never thought Archfiend Antigonus, someone who was so careful, would eventually be distracted by what I said.'
Then, he looked at the secret tunnel behind the palace. 'So Ancient Ancestor's fairy soul Ancient Ancestor is trapped here. No wonder Empress Nuwa couldn't find it.'
Feeling excited, Darryl rushed out of the palace. He had planned to take action that night.
Time flew by and night had fallen.
As ordered by Archfiend Antigonus, the patrolling warriors around the Sealed Fiend Mountain had been increased by tenfold. There were sentries everywhere and the entire place was heavily guarded.
However, that did not stop Darryl. In the dark, he came to a cliff northwest of the Sealed Fiend Mountain and drew three marks on a huge stone.
It was a mark that had been agreed upon between Darryl and the Nine Heaven Emperor. The mark indicated that Darryl had found the location of where Ancient Ancestor's fairy soul was hidden. Then, at midnight, he would start a commotion to take the fairy soul out of that place. At the same time, the Nine Heaven Emperor would also bring his army to attack the Sealed Fiend Mountain.
