Chapter 4721
Darryl was at a loss for words.
F*ck, Cloud Spirit was going a little too far, was she not? She made the first move, but it
became his fault.
Darryl could not be bothered to pursue the situation. Instead, he turned around to leave to
continue resting on the grass.
"Stand there!"
Cloud Spirit did not seem to want to let up. Her eyes flickered as she glared at Darryl
suspiciously.
"Tell the truth. Was it you who put that toad next to me?"
To her, Barely Immortal must have known she was afraid of toads and thus, put one next
to her on purpose. Yes, that was the case for sure.
Motherf*cker!
Darryl instantly lost his patience. He chuckled softly and replied, "That's a pretty bold
claim you're making. What business do I have trying to scare you? I don't even know you,
so don't be pointing fingers. Also, I have no interest in scaring people with toads."
As he spoke, Darryl did not wish to waste his breath any further. He turned to leave.
"You..."
Cloud Spirit could hardly contain her anger. Yet just as she was about to speak, she heard
footsteps coming their way. Following that, over ten Demon Warriors rushed over to
surround them.
"Who are you?"
The head Demon Warrior cast Darryl a glance before looking at Cloud Spirit. "How dare
you enter forbidden Demon territory? Tell the truth, or you'll pay."
Forbidden Demon territory?
Both Darryl and Cloud Spirit were startled by his words.
The next second, Darryl looked into the distance using the glow of the firesticks the
Demon Warriors held. He saw a wooden sign behind a tree that read, 'Forbidden Demon
Territory. All Trespassers Shall Be Executed'.
Crap, they were not kidding.
Since when did the swamp turn into forbidden Demon territory?
Darryl clearly remembered that when the Fiend race and the Godly Region were at war,
the Demon tribe chose to move to a different land to avoid being part of the battle. If his
calculations were correct, they had barely been in the new land for half a year.
Darryl could not afford to waste time giving it any further thought. He turned to smile at
the head Demon warrior.
"Don't be mistaken, sir. We didn't mean to come in here. We were just passing by. We just
thought we'd spend the night here resting since it's getting dark."
The Demon warrior's face was ashen. "Resting? How dare you rest in Demon territory?"
As he spoke, he asked coldly again, "Who are you people? What are you here for?"
The warrior's demeanor angered Cloud Spirit to no end, and she roared indignantly,
"Watch your tone! I'm telling you now, I'm not to be messed with."
She was Empress Heidi's confidant-a well-respected figure. How dare the lowly Demon
warrior disrespect her like that?
Cloud Spirit's anger grew the more she thought about it. She was about to reveal who she
was, but Darryl cut her off.
"My fellow warriors!"
Darryl had a placating smile as he spoke in a soothing tone. "We're just a couple of sect-
less gods passing by, with nothing but rest in mind. We have no intention of crossing you
at all."
As he spoke, Darryl gave Cloud Spirit a meaningful look.
The silly lady was unaware of what she was getting herself into, exposing her identity like
that.
Whew!
Cloud Spirit had calmed down as well. She then realized that she had been a little rash. It
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas important to note that Empress Heidi had specified that they were to carry out the
task of retrieving the Ghost Spirit Herb undercover.
Most importantly, the Demon tribe could not find out who they were.
At that thought, Cloud Spirit retreated to the side.
Sect-less gods?
Based on Darryl's response, the head Demon warrior's demeanor seemed to even out
slightly.
It was important to note that many sect-less gods were in the Godly Region. Those sect-
less gods did not care for status nor power and refused to join the Imperial Sky Palace.
Thus, they spent their days wandering around aimlessly and carefree.
When Darryl's master, Ghost Valley Sage, had entered the Godly Region, he had not joined
the Imperial Sky Palace and became a sect-less god.
Then, the head Demon warrior said, "I understand you didn't mean to break in, but this is
still forbidden territory. Come with us to see our king. He'll decide what to do with you."
What?
Cloud Spirit's chest thudded at the words instantly.
See the White Tiger King? That would not do!
These Demon warriors did not know much and had not recognized her, but the White Tiger
King was different.
He would see through her in a heartbeat.
