Finally, Darryl exhaled deeply and dropped to the floor after seeing Antigonus disappear into the night sky, breaking out in cold sweat as he did. 'Blast. I finally scared that terrifying person away. Who knew what would've happened if I failed?'
In the meantime, Levi and the disciples were stunned as everyone stared at Darryl blankly.
'What just happened? Did Darryl just scare off the supreme leader of the fiend race with just a few words? It's unbelievable. It's hard to believe if we didn't see it with our own eyes!'
"Sect Master Darby…" Levi regained his senses and asked Darryl, "What…happened? Are reinforcements actually coming here after the time it takes to finish burning an incense stick?"
Honestly speaking, Darryl truly did put on a good show. Even Levi thought it was real!
Darryl smiled and shook his head. "No reinforcements are coming, and what you did wasn't a formation either. It was all a ruse to scare off the supreme leader of the fiend race."
Levi's heart trembled. Inhaling deeply, he could not help but feel impressed by Darryl. "You're very bold. Such an unprecedented event that no one could surpass in the future."
His eyes were full of admiration and respect toward Darryl.
They were, after all, at a standstill against the supreme leader of the fiend race, an existence that was able to destroy Mount Hua Sect with just a move of his finger. It was only natural that everyone would be scared out of their wits.
Darryl, however, was not, having used his intelligence and courage to scare off their opponent. No one in The Nine Mailand could pull that off like Darryl had.
Darryl laughed and shook his head while Levi was praising him. "Sect Master Schwaznero, please don't flatter me. I gambled and won—that's all."
Followingly, he said seriously to Levi, "The supreme leader of the fiend race is a ruthless existence, and no one knew of his whereabouts this whole time. Although we managed to escape tonight, there's no saying if he'll return in the future, so all of you must stay alert all the time."
"I understand," Levi answered. Then, he instructed the disciples to tidy and clean the altar.
Subsequently, Darryl and Levi returned to the main hall. As they reached the main hall, Levi instructed a disciple to bring out a treasure box hidden in the secret chamber in the forbidden area.
