When he heard about the situation, Master Magaera did not hesitate. He immediately led thousands of divine soldiers to the Blazing Sun Gate. Coincidentally, they met Darryl and Morticia, who came out of the secret passage.
Darryl and Morticia's faces changed when they saw Master Magaera.
Darryl frowned—he did not know whether to laugh or to cry.
What bad luck! He had finally escaped from the Blazing Sun Gate, but he met Master Magaera instead.
At the same time, Master Magaera and the divine soldiers saw them walking out of the secret passage.
Darryl wore a mask, and Morticia had a veil to cover her face. She had also taken the Shading Pill. So, Master Magaera did not recognize them at all.
However, her armor still attracted Master Magaera's attention.
"Stop!"
Master Magaera said indifferently, "What's your name? Why did you leave the Blazing Sun Gate at midnight?"
Master Magaera would not have doubted them if Darryl had dressed like an ordinary person. However, he wore a general's armor, someone responsible for guarding the Blazing Sun Gate. He thought he should question him.
Darryl felt like weeping, but he could not cry.
He thought it would be more convenient if he wore the general's armor if he met any Blazing Sun Gate soldiers outside. However, he did not expect to meet Master Magaera instead.
Then, Darryl snapped back to his senses and said respectfully, "My name is Darren. I'm the Blazing Sun Gate's Defense General."
"How dare you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the generals beside Master Magaera scolded him. "A small city’s general who doesn't know the rules? This is the Lord General. Why don't you kneel and salute him?"
The Lord General?
Darryl was stunned; he sighed in his heart.
As soon as the Nine Heaven Emperor died, Master Magaera's status had increased significantly. He had been promoted to Lord General.
Darryl murmured his discontent in his heart, but he still knelt and said respectfully, "Lord General."
He did not want to be so spineless. However, he wanted to leave, and he had to consider Morticia's safety. So, he chose to swallow the humiliation.
