At that moment, Darryl took a step forward and looked at White Horse. "White Horse, what else do you have to say? You violated the plan just for your own fame?"
White Horse was stunned and suddenly knelt to the ground!
“I-I…” White Horse panicked and was sweating profusely.
‘What do I do? Darryl has the Queen of the Dead backing him. Will I be executed in front of everyone?!’ he thought.
"Sect Master Darby, I was wrong. I was too eager for success and fame. Please forgive me this one time!" White Horse continued begging for mercy and was still in a panic.
The truth was, White Horse was very reluctant to admit fault to Darryl in front of everyone. However, he had no choice. Everyone was intimidated by Ileana’s aura and no one came to appeal for him. He still wanted to live to venture into the community; he could not just die in vain.
Darryl did not respond and there was not a single facial expression on his stern face.
"Sect Master Darby, please forgive me this one time! I’m begging you..." White Horse was still begging for forgiveness and was about to cry.
At that moment, Quincy walked over and said softly to Darryl, "Darryl, Sect Master White Horse was wrong for not following our plan earlier. However, the crisis in Dark Cloud City has been resolved. It’s not impossible for Lord Kenny to come back again. We still need to stay on guard here and we need everyone. Why don’t you spare him just this once?”
“Yeah, Sect Master White Horse did screw up the plan and was hoping to kill more enemies, but give him a chance,” Zoey said as well.
Realizing some people were helping him, White Horse nodded quickly. “Yes, Princess Long is right. Unfortunately, we still have to stay on guard here, so please give me one more chance.”
Sigh!
At that moment, an altar master from a branch altar walked over and said cautiously, "Sect Master, the entire Dark Cloud City is following Darryl's command now. There is no point in us staying here. Why don’t we leave?"
"Leave? Lord Kenny will still fight back with his grand army. That will be a good opportunity for us to make the Eternal Life Palace famous. If we leave now, what will the community of The Nine Continent think of us?" White Horse said angrily.
Then, a cunning look flashed in White Horse’s eyes. “Darryl still wants to be the hero of The Nine Continent, but I won’t let him get what he wants. Once we’re done cleaning the battlefield, you must send a trusted person to bring the defense strategy map of Dark Cloud City to Lord Kenny’s camp. Understand?”
The altar master understood in an instant and said immediately, "Understood. I’ll go and make the preparations now."
...
Meanwhile, a few kilometers away from Dark Cloud City, Lord Kenny had ordered his grand army to set up camp to rest.
