Chapter 4574
Master Magaera chose not to show it. His expression remained utterly neutral, and he did
not attempt to elicit any additional information.
At the same time, the officials in the immediate vicinity could not help but whisper
amongst themselves.
’It's unbelievable. While imprisoned in the Infernal Shadow Prison, Darryl Darby managed
to take down the head of the Four Evil Beasts, Wild Fury, and survive to tell the tale."
’Yes, I can't believe the Holy Sky Stone's predictions came true.’
’It’s such a shame what happened to His Majesty, though."
Even as the murmurs echoed through the air, Darryl remained on his knees, his expression
unmoved by the sounds.
Everything had come to an end in the Godly Region.
He could finally return to the Nine Mainland and reunite with his family. Titles, status,
rewards-none of those mattered anymore as long as he could see his family again.
’You-"
Darryl was about to say his goodbyes when a distraught Empress Heidi raised a finger to
point at him and roared, "It's all your fault! You're responsible for the Emperor's death."
'Seize him!"

Empress Heidi's beautiful features hardened at that point, and her eyes were boiling with
rage.
She thought that Darryl was the one who should have died. The Nine Heaven Emperor
must have sacrificed his life trying to save Darryl.
The words rang through the air as two godly generals strode out, shoving Darryl to the
ground as they passed by.
Darryl had just returned from the Sealed Fiend Mountain and thus could barely struggle as
his fairy soul had not recovered.
Darryl was caught between shock and fury when he was attacked so suddenly. He felt
helpless too.
'Motherf*cker! Why did Empress Heidi shove all the blame onto me?'
The royal officials were startled as well. Their faces revealed an unreadable expression.
Darryl had gone through hell for the Godly region, yet Empress Heidi placed the entire
blame on his shoulders. That did not seem very fair at all.
Even Master Magaera could not stand it any longer. He said, "Your Majesty, I don't think
you should-’
Despite his dislike for Darryl, it was undeniable that he had played a huge part in taking
down the fiend race. Furthermore, the death of the Nine Heaven Emperor occurred entirely
by chance-it was not Darryl's fault.
’You shut your mouth!’
Master Magaera had not even finished his sentence before Empress Heidi cut him off. "I
know right from wrong. You have no say in that.’ i
Empress Heidi turned to Darryl, her gaze hardened with resentment. "Don't think I'm
blaming you for nothing, Darryl Darby. Why didn't you show up as your real self to save
the Emperor when he got ambushed at the Floating Island? Why did you pretend to be one
of the Heavenly I mmortals and even use Audric's name? 1
'Then you entered the Sealed Fiend Mountain with no confidence in winning, causing your
identity to be exposed. If your plan had not failed, the Emperor would not have died with
Archfiend Antigonus. You don't think it's your fault?"
Empress Heidi's rage increased as she spoke, and she roared, "You lied to the Emperor
about your true identity, and as a result, you were responsible for his death. That is
completely unforgivable. Do you think you did anything wrong?" i
Silence!
Just at that moment, the entire Imperial Sky Palace was deafeningly silent.
At Empress Heidi's words, Darryl startled momentarily before throwing his head to the
heavens and letting out a full-bellied laugh. "Your Majesty, if you insist that this is the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcase, it will be pointless for me to attempt to defend myself."
Darryl shook his head bitterly.
He could tell that Empress Heidi was distraught over the death of the Nine Heaven
Emperor, and she lacked a means of expressing her rage and resentment. As a result, she
had made him the scapegoat.
At the same time, Master Magaera and the royal officials fell silent as well.
They knew that Empress Heidi was venting on Darryl. However, there was no way for them
to refute her words. After all, Darryl had concealed his identity and snuck into the Sealed
Fiend Mountain only to have his plan foiled.
Even though he had ultimately succeeded in rescuing the Ancient Ancestor's fairy soul,
the Nine Heaven Emperor had died for it.
It was extremely difficult to place the blame on a single individual and only one individual,
1
’Put him in the Sky Prison.'
Empress Heidi did not waste any more words. She waved her hand and said, "He shall be
sentenced to death a hundred days after the Emperor's death!" Empress Heidi wanted
nothing more than to kill Darryl then and there. However, the Nine Heaven Emperor had
just passed, and it would be inauspicious to kill Darryl within a hundred days of his death.
So she decided she would wait.
Darryl was apprehended by two Godly Region generals, who marched him off to the Sky
Prison as soon as the order was given to do so.
