‘How daring is Brother Darryl? He even dared to tease the Princess.’
“General Sloan, why are you upset?” Darryl was calm as he smiled at Yvette. ’I am joking with the Princess.”
Then, Darryl’s face turned somber as he turned toward Yvette and said, “That’s right, Princess. You do not mind that, right? Not with our relationship?’
Yvette bit her lips; she was speechless.
“Brother Darryl!’
Suddenly, Nimbus approached them quickly and said worriedly, “Brother Darryl, we found Incandescent Sect’s secret tunnel at the hill behind the Grand Brightness Main Hall. We heard some funny noises and wild beasts’ roars from inside. We do not dare to enter it blindly.”
Secret tunnel? Wild beasts?
Darryl was stunned as he heard that.
The Incandescent Sect had existed for a few thousand years; their history went back to the ancient years. That was the sect’s main altar, and they had found a secret tunnel guarded by wild beasts. The sect must have hidden something of value in that tunnel.
Darryl got excited when he thought about that. ‘Come on, take me there. I’ll take a look at it.”
Nimbus nodded and led the way.
Sloan and Yvette looked at each other. Then, they followed them quickly too.
Once they were at the back of the hill, they saw a huge altar. Then they realized there was a deep and quiet tunnel under the counter.
Roar! Roar!
Sounds of what they presumed as wild beasts’ roar echoed deep inside the tunnel. Everyone there was terrified!
Sloan furrowed her brows and mumbled, “Is this the Incandescent Sect’s Grand Brightness Secret Tunnel?’
“What is the Grand Brightness Secret Tunnel?” Yvette asked.
Sloan looked conflicted as she said, “That is the Incandescent Sect’s forbidden area. Only their sect masters could enter it. A rumor said they had trapped a fierce beast in there. Perhaps that was the beast’s roar that we just heard?”
What? A fierce beast?
Yvette was stunned. She paused for a moment before she asked, “Sister Sloan, do you know what kind of fierce beast is trapped in the secret tunnel?”
