"Debra, let's take a break here!" Darryl cracked a slight smile and said to Debra.
Debra nodded and the three of them walked into the tavern and sat down by the window.
As soon as he sat down, Darryl was shocked as he felt a wave of murderous aura coming his way all of a sudden! He looked around subconsciously and saw dozens of sect disciples approaching him with swords in their hands. They surrounded the tavern immediately.
The disciples wore dark green robes embroidered with a curled-up serpent logo on their chests. They were the Five Poison Sect disciples from the Westrington Continent. Their leader was a woman that was also in a dark green dress. Her exquisite features were seductive and charming. Her name was Kendall Jones and she was the current Five Poison Sect Master.
Kendall's eyes locked onto Darryl and her gaze was filled with resentment. "Darryl, you killed my sister. I'll kill you today to avenge her."
Kendall was Lindsay's younger sister. A few years ago, Lindsay was forced to surrender to Darryl and had taken the Heaven Cult Elixir. Since then, Lindsay had been working for Darryl, and at the same time, she would visit the Carter family every other year for her antidote.
Two years ago, Lindsay was captured by her enemies, and she failed to get to the Carter family in time for her antidote. As a result, the poison killed her.
Kendall was heartbroken that her sister died tragically, and she placed all the blame on Darryl and the Carter family. At the Heavenly Alliance banquet earlier, Kendall saw Darryl had attended. She wanted to kill him immediately, but she restrained herself because she was afraid of the powerful Heavenly Alliance. How would she let Darryl go after bumping into him again at the tavern on a barren mountain?
'Sister?' Darryl sensed Kendall's thick resentment and was puzzled.
"Hey, beautiful. Who are you?" he asked.
Before Lindsay passed away, Kendall spent her time cultivating in the Five Poison Sect, and she had rarely been around the world of cultivators, so Darryl did not know her.
'F*ck!' Darryl finally understood what was going on.
"If this is the case, that's your sister's miserable fate and God's will. It has nothing to do with me!" he replied with a wry smile.
He felt a little regret when he learned of Lindsay's fate, but he was not too upset when he was reminded of what she had done. In the past, Lindsay helped Donoghue gain control of Yvonne and instructed her to kill Darryl.
Darryl would have killed Lindsay a long time ago for what she had done. He was merciful to have let her live a few more years.
Darryl was not bothered to engage in inconsequential talk after that. He signaled to Debra and Jewel and prepared to leave the tavern.
