Celeste nodded as she spoke calmly.
"Is he okay?" Lily asked worriedly; her eyes were red.
Celeste sat down slowly as she raised the teacup and took a sip. Calmly, she said, "He is dead."
As the Spiritual Invisible Sect's Sect Master, Celeste had taken away countless lives. Life and death were the norms for her, so she was calm when she delivered the news.
'What?!'
Lily's body trembled. Her whole body froze as if it had been jinxed with a frozen spell!
Celeste continued saying, "The Emei Sect surrounded Darryl before he fell into the volcano and died."
Lily's chest ached; her body turned weak as she fell onto the ground. She was so sad that her tears fell uncontrollably.
She would not have believed it if anyone else were to tell her that Darryl had died, but the news had come from her master's lips—she would never be wrong.
She burst into tears and could not speak. Images from the past continued to play in her mind, and her heart ached.
Celeste sighed as she consoled Lily gently," You must take care of yourself, Lily."
Then, she turned and left.
Lily was the only one left sitting mindlessly in the main hall. She could no longer control herself; she started to cry loudly!
'My dear, do you know that I have lost my beautiful face? I would not be able to face you anymore. I only wish that someday I could watch you from afar; just to see you.'
Lily held her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palm.
'Incandescent Sect! Emei Sect! I will make you all pay for this!’
Meanwhile, at Westrington.
The continent was quite similar to the New World; it was an ancient society with no high technology at all.
The New World had emperors for thousands of years, so it was stable and wealthy. However, Westrington was still in an unstable war period.
Over the past few hundred years, more than ten forces in Westrington had fought against each other. Their battles had never stopped.
The strongest power at Westrington until about a month before that was the Great Emperor Dynasty; they had conquered the entire continent.
The Great Emperor Dynasty relied on this troop of Black Wolf Rider Army to conquer Westrington!
The Honor Guards were behind the Black Wolf Rider Army.
Among the honor guards, 16 horses pulled a giant royal carriage; it looked exquisite, posh, and grand!
The person inside was Westrington's most outstanding leader, the Westrington Emperor.
The crowd on the street immediately knelt on the ground. Everyone looked respectful and fearful at the same time. Then, they greeted the person in the carriage loudly.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
The voices were so loud that it could almost shake the sky!
All the people on the street were on their knees, so it looked very impressive!
However, a figure remained on his feet. That man was Donoghue!
