Chapter 3996
Watching the Archfiend Antigonus retreat, Princess Dorothy heaved a sigh of relief.
She hurriedly turned to thank the Jade Immortal. "Thank you, Immortal."
The Jade Immortal grinned and waved his hands. "You're absolutely welcome. I'd snuck a bite of your father's
royal meals, and now I've saved your life in return. I’d like to think I've cleared my debt, heh heh..."
Upon saying so, he came over to check on Princess Dorothy's wounds.
"Sigh... your fairy soul's been destroyed. That's no good," frowned the Jade Immortal upon inspection.
Princess Dorothy smiled blankly. "Thank you for your kindness, Senior. I think I'm lucky enough to even be alive."
A thought seemed to come to her as she looked around. "Ah. Where are your partners, Senior?"
"Ha ha..."
At the question, the Jade Immortal could not help the laugh that escaped him. He sounded as if he had just
gotten away with a wicked prank. In a low voice he whispered, "Shh, keep it down. I was just threatening the
Archfiend Antigonus. What partners? I've always traveled alone."
Pfft...
At the sight of his smug glee, Princess Dorothy could not help but let go of her grief briefly and laugh along as
well.
"Alright. Since we were fated enough to meet, г 11 bring you somewhere to see if you can
reconstruct your fairy soul," the Jade Immortal said as he helped Princess Dorothing up,
soaring off into the heavens on an auspicious cloud.
Meanwhile.
Upon bidding goodbye to Chester, Veron hurried back to the Five Poison Sect.
In the back lounge, he saw Skylar seated and drinking tea. Next to him were Kendall and a
few other disciples of the Five Poison Sect, standing in silence.
Upon seeing Veron enter, a smile broke out on Skylar's face. He said lightly, "Back so
soon? How are things?"
Veron bit her lip, trying to contain the anxiety in her chest, she saluted. "I'm happy to
report I did not disappoint! The Carters were pretty much completely annihilated by the
Hidden Hero Sect, save for one Darryl Darby— whom we cannot locate at all."
"Very well, a job well done..."
At these words, Skylar's face was the picture of glee. He nodded in commendation. "Not
bad. I knew you wouldn't let me down. It's getting late, go get some rest!"
"Yes..." Veron mumbled in acknowledgment, exiting the lounge.
Upon getting out, she sighed in relief internally.
Thank heavens his acting skills made the cut. she had managed to convince Skylar, as
well as hide the fact that he had come upon the soul-sucking bloodworms. 2
Next up was to find a way to release Master Magaera from the dungeon.
Late at night, in the Five Poison Sect dungeon.
Master Magaera had been completely restrained. He looked rather silly sitting in the
corner of the dungeon.
F*ck! He was Master Magaera, for crying out loud. Being locked up in a place like this was
a huge blow to his pride.
Rage in his heart, Magaera tried to stand. Yet he had been heavily wounded by the
Archfiend Antigonus, and was thus powerless.
This wouldn't do!
Was he going to be stuck here forever?
At the thought, Master Magaera began to sweat. It was then that he suddenly heard a
series of footsteps, very light ones!
Creak-
A few seconds later, a crack appeared as the metal door opened slightly. Right after that, a figure had snuck in. 1
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaster Magaera's awareness pricked. Upon seeing who it was, he froze!
Before him was a young girl. Her all-black garb outlined her lithe body and her sharp features. Her face was
solemn.
It was Veron Lange!
The dungeon was lined with guards patrolling the grounds in the day. Sneaking in at night was the only way
Veron even stood a chance.
"It's you?"
Master Magaera's face darkened at the sight of Veron. "what did Skylar Blanc send you for?" He knew the girl
worked under Skylar, and thus held no mercy.
Whew...
Catching her breath, Veron peered out of the dungeon. She then lowered her voice and whispered, "Honored
Master, please don't get the wrong idea. I'm here to help you!"
Help me?
Master Magaera smiled coldly, not believing her for a second.
Veron rushed to explain herself. "I would never lie to a great Master! To tell you the truth, I'm the master of the
Hidden Hero Sect..." Veron proceeded to spend the next few minutes narrating her grievances with Skylar.
At the end, Veron spat fiercely, "Skylar Blanc and I are no more. I'm helping you escape now in hopes that you'll
be a part of my revenge plan..."
