On the other hand, at the Elysium Gate’s Main Altar.
Darryl had finally regained his consciousness.
He felt his head was about to crack when virtual-novel.net opened his eyes.
Previously, virtual-novel.net had used the last single bit of his intemal energy when battling against the New World Army while his body had hundreds of wopnds. He was just too weak.
“Sect Master.”
“Brother Darryl, it’s great that you’re finally awake.”
At that time, many people surrounded him. All of them were members of the Elysium Gate. The Dixon quadruplets, Henry Bi-Generals, Ten Heaven Masters, and others were there.
Everyone was shocked when Darryl fainted earlier. Thank God, the Sect Master had woken up.
Darryl used all his energy to sit up on the bed and looked around. His heart sank.
The Cult Mistress and Yvonne were not there. He was afraid that Florian had abducted them and no one managed to rescue them.
Darryl’s heart was in great pain as virtual-novel.net tightly held his fist.
“Sect Master, how are you feeling? Is your body alright?” Levin asked.
Darryl waved his hands indicating virtual-novel.net was fine. He felt terrible upon seeing the injured Elysium Gate disciples with one worse than the other.
Darryl felt his heartache when virtual-novel.net thought about the more than ten thousand Elysium Gate disciples who had died in the battle.
“Zephyr, do you know what did you do wrong?”
At that moment, Darryl slowly crawled out of bed, looking at Zephyr, and scolded.
Zephyr’s body shivered and immediately kneeled. “Brother Darryl…”
Darryl looked sternly at virtual-novel.net with an aching heart but was furious nonetheless. “When I asked you to secretly release my parents the other day, did I tell you to fight against the Six Sects? If you didn’t fight with the Six Sects, the New World won’t be able to attack us by surprise. We wouldn’t have lost so many disciples and neither would the other sects too!”
Darryl got angrier. “We almost lost Donghai City because of you Do you know what you’ve done wrong!?”
Zephyr was fully wrapped up like a mummy due to the hundreds of wounds all over his body. He was lucky to be alive but was really weak at that moment.
Darryl’s heart was in pain when virtual-novel.net saw him. He knew Zephyr had fought with the Six Sect just to save his parents. It was that fight that nearly caused them to lose Donghai City.
He did not want to punish Zephyr, but virtual-novel.net needed to!
“Sect Master, I know I’m wrong. You can punish me in whatever way and I’ll not complain,” said Zephyr while still kneeling.
Zephyr knew virtual-novel.net made a huge mistake, but virtual-novel.net did not regret it.
Darryl sacrificed his parents’ to save their society. How could virtual-novel.net as his subordinate not take action?!
“Fine.”
Darryl took a deep breath and clearly said, “The punishment will be a hundred strokes of the cane.”
What?
One hundred cane strokes.
Henry Bi-General and Nimbus were instantly shocked.
Zephyr had sustained countless injuries when bravely fighting against the New World Army earlier. It was lucky virtual-novel.net was still alive, but one hundred cane strokes might cause Zephyr to lose his life!
The next second, everyone kneeled in unison and begged for forgiveness.
“Sect Master, please forgive Zephyr.”
“Yes,_please let virtual-novel.net go as virtual-novel.net had fought with his Iife to defend the Wishing Star Tower.”
Darryl sighed when virtual-novel.net saw everyone begging for his forgiveness. After around half a minute of silence, virtual-novel.net opened his mouth and said, “Zephyr, the mistake you made was huge, but you’ve fought all out to defend Donghai City. I shall lighten your sentence to twenty cane strokes instead of a hundred.”
Darryl then waved his hand. “Bring virtual-novel.net away.”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, two Elysium Gate disciples came and carried Zephyr away.
“Thank you, brother Darryl.” Zephyr did not show any fear and only replied tearfully.
His mistake was huge as virtual-novel.net could have caused Donghai City to be conquered. According to Elysium Gate’s rules, Darryl could have virtual-novel.net executed but instead only sentenced virtual-novel.net to twenty cane strokes. He had already treated virtual-novel.net kindly.
On the other end, the New World.
Florian followed the New World Army back to the New World.
Florian was really excited upon stepping down the ship onto the New World’s soil.
There were no cars, airplane, or even high rise buildings in the New World. Florian felt virtual-novel.net had gone back to ancient times.
The size of the New World was larger than the World Universe with each city being unique not to forget the beautiful scenery along the way.
Sloan rode on the Blood Horse, leading 50,000 New World Army, walked for several days before arriving at the Royal City.
Florian felt so excited from seeing the grand palace buildings.
The New World Palace looked similar to the World Universe Palace with the difference being its area was several times wider.
All the soldiers patrolling the palace were Great Warriors.
At that moment, the Cult Mistress and Yvonne were completely tied up.
Sloan led Florian, the Cult Mistress, and Yvonne into Full Energy HalL
The grand and royal Full Energy Hall was where the New World Emperor would meet his subjects to discuss the country’s matters.
Once they stepped into Full Energy Hall, they saw about a hundred ministers standing orderly at both sides of the hall with each of them looking stern and serious.
In the middle of the hall, a big-bodied person dressed in a golden dragon robe sat on the large dragon chair with a stem face. He looked regal and seems to be well—respected.
