Chapter 4114
Darryl was clearly well and alive, yet Grunt said he had died in the Blood Sacrifice of Fiends. At that moment, Darryl was in
the hands of Archfiend Antigonus. That was truly beyond humiliating.
After all, Darryl was not only the Nine Heaven Sage but also his son-in-law.
Archfiend Antigonus barked out a satisfied laugh when he saw their reactions. "I'm sure you know who this is, Nine Heaven
Emperor. This is your Nine Heaven Sage, who then became your son-in-law."
'What a shame that I've captured him."
The Nine Heaven Emperor took a deep breath. "What do you want, Archfiend Antigonus?" He glanced at Darryl as he spoke.
"It's simple enough!"
Archfiend Antigonus continued to smile. "Give me the Imperial Sky Palace, as well as all your men. You will obey me from
now onward."
The Nine Heaven Emperor's face darkened at the request. His worst fear had come true-Archfiend Antigonus wanted to
blackmail him into surrendering.

circumstances-to protect the pride of the royal family. Honestly, he hardly cared about Darryl's wellbeing.
However, if he rejected the proposal outright, would that not make him sound far too
cruel? How would he lead the Godly Region after that?
Yet, agreeing to Archfiend Antigonus' request was not something he could do.
The Nine Heaven Emperor fell into a dilemma.
Just then, a figure rushed forward. He appeared exhausted and covered in sweat.
It was Grunt.
Upon escaping from Morticia, Grunt had immediately headed to the Imperial Sky Palace.
Yet he had, unfortunately, run into a small troop of fiend warriors, holding him back
slightly.
Grunt gasped when he saw the scene in front of him. It was Archfiend Antigonus with a
few hundred thousand fiend warriors.
There was a man at the front of the troop, held down by a few Demon warriors. 3
Darryl?
Grunt's heart dropped when he saw Darryl. He rubbed his eyes. He thought it was a
hallucination.
Upon making sure that it was indeed Darryl, Grunt was at a loss for words. His brain drew
a blank.
What happened? Did the Fiend Martyr not kill Darryl after finding him? Why had she
brought him to the Imperial Sky Palace?
Grunt did not dare to ask too much as he continued to walk forward. He took his place
next to the Nine Heaven Emperor silently, unease still clouding his heart.
Grunt had betrayed Darryl at the Blood Sacrifice of Fiends. The last thing he wanted was
for Darryl to see the Nine Heaven Emperor as the truth to come out. He would be
punished for lying to a ruler if that were to happen.

Fortunately, Grunt's worries were in vain.
Archfiend Antigonus had sealed Darryl's voice.
"Nine Heaven Emperor!"
Archfiend Antigonus lost his patience when the Emperor remained silent.' Have you made up your mind? Are you going to
let your son-in-law die just to keep your throne?"
The Nine Heaven Emperor clenched his fists. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out.
Just then, Grunt stepped forward and addressed the Emperor. "You mustn't fall for his tricks, Your Majesty." Grunt's tone was
calm and focused, but his gaze trembled slightly.
Despite having just returned, Grunt could guess what was going on. Archfiend Antigonus tried to blackmail the Nine Heaven
Emperor into surrendering, using Darryl as a pawn.
The Emperor turned to see Grunt. His expression darkened. "Where on earth have you been, Grunt? Why did you return so
late? Also, Darryl Darby is clearly alive and well. Why did you say he had died in the Blood Sacrifice of Fiends?"
The Emperor's anger was positively boiling as he spoke.
Sensing the Nine Heaven Emperor's rage, Grunt fell to the floor, kneeling. ■ Please calm down, Your Majesty. I’m not lying.
Darryl Darby is really dead."
Dead?
The Nine Heaven Emperor could hardly contain his rage, pointing at a tied- up Darryl. "Then, tell me, how is he here now,
very much alive?”
