Donoghue had circled the entire forest with the stone chest, but he was unable to find anything.

Just as he got slightly frustrated, he found a collapsed cave. Could that be it? Donoghue’s spirit instantly

lifted. When he saw that the cave entrance was blocked, he did not hesitate to summon his internal

energy and blasted it open before he went into the cave. Indeed, that was the cave where Darryl had

been trapped and also where he found the Ghost Valley Sage. It did not take long before Donoghue

discovered the stone room that Darryl had used for his cultivation.

Excited beyond words, Donoghue could tell that the other treasure must be hidden around there

somewhere. He paced around the room and realized that there was something unnatural with the stone

platform in the middle of the room. He immediately investigated and uncovered the well beneath the

Ghost Valley Sage’s body and an opened stone chest hidden in it.

Donoghue’s expression darkened the moment he caught sight of the opened box. He had been one step

too late; someone had already taken the treasure. He looked at the outer box—the engravings and the

ancient words seemed to be the same as those on the box in his possession.

Donoghue stood in rage for a while; he was visibly close to a breakdown. He was so close to obtaining the

treasure that the Yellow Emperor had left behind, but his effort had been in vain. No one could accept the same

result. It was a few minutes before he could calm down and collect his thoughts.

The person who had been in the cave must have been someone extraordinary. The Raksasa Tribe and the Nine

Mainland had been in a war on the Chaotic Mountain Range. So the person who took the treasure must have

been someone from either of those camps.

“Right, the Nine Mainland camp first then.” He had decided on that. Donoghue hid the stone chest determinedly

and headed toward the direction of the Nine Mainland army camp.

He had planned to use his disguise as one of Rama’s disciples to obtain as much information about the chest as

possible. If he could not find anything, then he would have to take the risk to search for it in the Raksasa Army

camp.

Darryl stared at Zhang Jue dispassionately as he said, “Open your mouth!” What?

Zhang Jue paused at the request, but he subconsciously obeyed and opened his mouth. The moment he did

that, Darryl retrieved a pill from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth without a moment of hesitation. Zhang

Jue could not respond to the sudden movement, so he had no choice but to swallow it.

“Why you—” Zhang Jue was shocked and enraged with Darryl’s audacity; he glared at the man and asked in a

shaking tone, “What did you give me?” Zhang Jue was familiar with despicable means, so he knew instinctively

that whatever Darryl had fed him, it could not have been anything good.

“Why are you so scared, Zhang Jue? I heard that you used the same method when you led the Yellow

Turban Rebellion Army. You used it to ensure that you have complete control over your followers. What’s

wrong? Are you scared now that it’s your turn to be on the receiving end?” Darryl sneered before his face

changed to an emotionless expression as he continued to say, “Don’t worry, I did not feed you poison or

anything bad; it’s just the Heaven Cult Elixir!”

Indeed, the pill that Darryl had fed Zhang Jue forcefully was the Heaven Cult Elixir, the tablet that was

utilized by the Grandmaster Heaven Cult as a means to control his followers. Once they ingested the pill,

the victims would die in miserable pain if they were not given the antidote. That was how the Heaven Cult

grew into such an enormous organization that its existence threatened even the Six Sects.

“Heaven Cult Elixir?” Zhang Jue was instantly soaked in his own sweat as he struggled to stand up

straight at the mention of the pill. Zhang Jue was also skilled in the Art of Elixir and hence was familiar

with the Heaven Cult Elixir. Sweat dripped off his chin as he tried to comprehend the situation; his heart

was heavy with frustration and fear. ‘Damn you, Darryl Darby. He thinks that I would try to betray him, and

so he is threatening me into submission with that pill,’ he thought.
