Monica nodded at the Grandmaster
Heaven Cult Master. Then she walked to the side and buried Tyler’s body.
Tyler was a loyal person, and he had protected her; she could not leave his body in the wild like that.
The Cult Master immediately came and helped her.
After they buried Tyler, the three continued with their journey.
Ambrose held on tightly to Monica's hand and said softly, "Mom, do we have to be with this strange person? He just killed Uncle Tyler. I'm scared-"
Monica gently comforted him and said, " Ambrose, don't be afraid. This strange man is not a bad person.
When she said that, she looked at the Cult Master behind her with mixed feelings.
The three of them continued with their journey to the World Universe.
The next day.
They arrived at a valley-Monica smiled and said to Ambrose, "Ambrose, after we cross this valley, we will see the Sea of Death. Then, after we cross the Sea of Death, we will reach the World Universe.
Monica's eyes were filled with longing.
When she reached the World Universe, would she be able to see Darryl?
'My dear Darryl, are you well?'
Monica smiled at the thought of that man. She could not help but be happy.
Ambrose did not know what was in his mother's mind. He cocked his head and asked curiously, "Mom, why is it called the Sea of Death? Is it very scary?"
Monica laughed and said, "The Sea of
Death was named because not even a leaf could float on it. Typically, a normal person would not be able to cross it. However, after the enchanted barrier between the Nine Mainlands disappeared, the Sea of Death became a normal ocean."
Ambrose listened attentively. The Cult Master, at the side, was still in a daze. No one knew what was in his mind.
As she spoke, Monica heard footsteps approaching them. In a blink of an eye, a bunch of men rushed out of the woods.
They had sabers in their hands; they surrounded Monica, Ambrose, and the Cult Master.
Those men were mountain bandits from the valley. However, they dressed differently than other bandits. Each of them was in white clothing.
Those men were the White Shirt Sect's remaining disciples.
The White Shirt Sect was a powerful organization in the New World. They never obeyed the royal family; they also wanted to overthrow the New World Emperor. So, they were considered rebels. Not long ago, Lord Ping Xi had managed to eliminate the White Shirt Sect, and he was victorious. The sect's remaining disciples had managed to escape.
The New World Emperor had been so delighted with the victory that he promised his daughter, Yvette Lane, to Lord Ping Xi's son.
However, no one knew that the White Shirt Sect’s remaining disciples had escaped to the valley and took over the mountain. They ruled as mountain bandits. They liked to block people's way and rob them. On that day, when they saw Monica, Ambrose, and the Cult Master, they wanted to rob them of their money.
"Come! Take out all of your valuable belongings."
The leader of the White Shirt Sect spoke coldly and with an arrogant face.
His name was Eugene Cohen; he was a Level Five Martial Saint. He was once a small Branch Master. When the White Shirt Sect was destroyed, Eugene became the leader of the remaining disciples.
"Mom..." Ambrose held Monica's arm tightly. He was extremely terrified! Monica stroked Ambrose's head and comforted him gently. "Ambrose, don't be afraid.”
She had the Grandmaster Heaven Cult's Cult Master by her side. Those robbers must have been suicidal!
Monica took a deep breath and looked at Eugene. She said calmly, “We're just passing by; we do not have anything valuable with us. Do not give us a hard time, or you will regret it."
