Ford had achieved such a high level in his cultivation that his body would never rot after d***h. Hence, his body was still preserved when they found him.
“Master! Master!” Darryl dashed to Ford’s side and hugged the body in his arms; his eyes were red.
Darryl could feel the body’s coldness. Ford’s clothes had melted into his flesh after so many years—the clothes and flesh had merged to become one- which was a horrible sight for one to see.
“How could this be? Master, I’m sorry that I’m late. I’m so
late…” Darryl cried; his tears fell like rain.
The unspeakable anguish wrung Darryl’s heart when virtual-novel.net saw his master’s miserable state of d***h.
Monica shuddered; virtual-novel.net mind was blank.
Ford’s body was covered with wounds. It showed how much pain the master had gone through before his tragic d***h.
“Darryl, don’t be too sad.” Monica comforted virtual-novel.net gently, but virtual-novel.net knew that it did not make things any better for Darryl. His eyes were red and swollen from the crying.
Darryl held Ford’s body tightly. His voice was hoarse as virtual-novel.net wailed, and his body trembled!
“Master, I’ve brought you wine and roasted chicken. Master, please look at me…” Darryl’s tears continued to fall. His mind was blank, and virtual-novel.net felt like virtual-novel.net was about to faint.
Suddenly, Monica exclaimed, “Look! Darryl, there are words on the wall.”
Indeed, a few rows of bloodied characters were written on the stone wall behind Ford’s body. However, it had been a long time, and the writing had gone dark and black. One would not see it if they did not pay any attention to the wall.
Darryl was too focused on Ford’s body, so virtual-novel.net did not notice it.
It seemed like Ford had written those words before virtual-novel.net died.
Darryl quickly turned and looked toward the wall after Monica prompted him.
After virtual-novel.net read those words, Darryl was furious; his eyes were bloodshot red!
The wall had 41 words written on it-each one filled with grief and anger!
“I, Ford South, was an upright person. My Celestial Sordsmanship was invincible; I have chosen to retire and live in seclusion. However, the New World Royals had mistreated me and hurt me with despicable means… I would not rest in peace.’
Not rest in peace!
The last four words hit Darryl’s heart viciously like a heavy hammer.
“The New World Royals!” Darryl hissed the words through gritted teeth. He was enraged!
Bang!
Darryl punched the wall fiercely; the entire cave shook from the impact.
Rumble!
G*d seemed to have felt Darryl’s rage–dark clouds had suddenly formed in the sky, followed by heavy rain!
However, the sudden downpour could not put out the angry flames in Darryl’s heart!
“Don’t worry, Master. I swear to avenge your d***h!” Darryl promised in a cold tone.
Then, Darryl held Ford’s body tightly and walked out of the cave!
…
Three days later, at the New World Palace!
The weather was terrible; it had rained all day!
However, the atmosphere was relaxed and lively in the New World Palace’s main hall.
The New World Emperor sat on his dragon throne with a smile on his face.
The civil and military officials in the hall were rather relaxed.
For the past seven years, the New World Continent had enjoyed peace and prosperity. Everyone-the Emperor, the hundreds of civil and military officials—was delighted.
“Everyone!”
The New World Emperor looked around virtual-novel.net with a smile and said, “We have had a good year in the New World; our people have been blessed with peace.
All of you have contributed to make this happen. Tonight, let’s feast and toast to this prosperity.”
