Darryl noticed that the secret tunnel was long and deep. There were candles on both sides of the stone walls. He
had no idea where the winding tunnel would lead?
‘Where is this place?’
Darryl frowned as he walked into the tunnel without any hesitation.
He had no idea how things would turn out for him. He had no other way out anyway, so he wanted to take the risk.
If he were to turn around, he would have to face thousands of palace guards.
After he walked for a few minutes, Darryl finally arrived at the end of the tunnel!
‘A huge secret chamber!’
Darryl gaped at the sight in front of him.
It was an incredibly huge empty secret chamber. It was almost a thousand square meters and very well lit with
candles. The secret underground room was as bright as daytime. The walls on both sides were carved with dragons
and phoenixes. Even though the carvings looked simple, they gave a bold and magnificent impression.
‘What? Is someone here?’
Darryl glanced around; he was utterly stunned when his eyes moved toward the center of the secret chamber.
There was a square jade platform in the center, and a well-dressed man sat on it.
The man had his back toward Darryl. He was dressed in a golden dragon robe, and he had a burly figure. Even

a distance.
Hiss!
‘Is he Emperor Hou Yi?’
Darryl immediately recognized the man as Emperor Hou Yi, who ruled the entire North Moana even though he did
not see his face.
Oh, no…
‘Of all the places I could have gone, why must I go where Emperor Hou Yi is cultivating? Have I dug my own grave?’
Darryl stood rooted to the spot; he felt like crying.
It was no wonder there were no guards around that room. It was a secret chamber where Emperor Hou Yi
cultivated.
Darryl wanted to turn around and run away after he realized that he was in hot soup. However, just as he was
about to run, he felt the powerful aura that permeated the chamber from Emperor Hou Yi. The pressure from the
aura was so overwhelming that Darryl felt his legs cemented to the ground. He could not lift his foot to take a step.
Darryl was curious because Emperor Hou Yi remained seated; he did not stand up immediately. He was motionless.
Time passed by slowly—by the minutes and seconds.
Darryl felt that his legs numbed after he stood for some time, but Emperor Hou Yi still did not make a move.
Darryl was unaware that Emperor Hou Yi had sensed his presence as soon as he stepped into the secret chamber.
The Emperor did not respond because he had entered a critical stage in his cultivation, and he could not afford any
mistakes.
The skill that Emperor Hou Yi was cultivating was called the Innate Imperial Strength. The process had to be done in
complete peace of mind. If he were disturbed or interrupted, it would risk adversity.
Therefore, even though Emperor Hou Yi sensed that someone had intruded on his secret chamber, he did not stand
up to catch them in the act.
Emperor Hou Yi was in cultivation, and he was in a critical stage! Eventually, Darryl figured out that the Emperor
must be in mid-cultivation, and he must have been in a crucial step in that journey. That would explain why he had
ignored Darryl.
Darryl wanted to step forward and send a palm attack at Emperor Hou Yi to kill him. Since Darryl rescued Zhu Bajie,
the Emperor had sent Gonggong on a hunt for them everywhere.
As long as Emperor Hou Yi was alive, Gonggong would always hunt them down because of his decree. So, when
Darryl realized that Emperor Hou Yi was at a critical stage of his cultivation, he wanted to ambush and kill him!
However, Darryl changed his mind. What if Emperor Hou Yi had completed his cultivation the moment Darryl
attacked? Darryl did not want to risk a counterattack. His internal energy had not recovered, so he could neither
hide nor defend himself effectively.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDarryl’s eyes suddenly lit up—he had an idea.
He could disturb Emperor Hou Yi’s mood and lead him into adversity! Darryl laughed. He knew the voice mimicking
technique to mimic Zhu Bajie and Chang Er’s voices and created a scene where they were dating!
Emperor Hou Yi was deeply in love with Chang Er. If he were to hear that Chang Er was dating another man, he
would definitely get mad. That could ruin his cultivation.
‘Yes, I can use this method.’
After he made up his mind, Darryl moved slowly to distance himself from Emperor Hou Yi.
After he retreated more than ten meters away from his original spot, Darryl cleared his throat and began to imitate
Chang Er’s voice.
“Zhu Bajie, what should we do?”
After he said the first line, Darryl imitated Zhu Bajie’s voice. “Don’t be afraid, my beautiful Chang Er. Hou Yi seems
to be at a critical stage of his cultivation. Since he found out that we are secretly dating, he would definitely break
us up after he is done with his cultivation. Why don’t you come with me? Let’s elope.”
After that, Darryl imitated Chang Er’s voice again. He said, “Alright, Brother Zhu. I love you with all my heart. I feel
like I’m trapped in a cage every day when I’m with Hou Yi. You’re truly the one that I love!”
Darryl managed to mimic Zhu Bajie and Chang Er’s voices, and he made them sound so real.
If there were people around him, they would be shocked.
Darryl sounded so similar to Zhu Bajie and Chang Er it felt like they were really in the secret chamber.
