"Huh?!"
When Darryl noticed Abbess Mother Serendipity's expression, he took a deep breath and said in an annoyed tone," What’s wrong with you? Can't you see that someone else did this and blamed it on the Elysium Gate? I have been away at Mistloren; the Elysium Gate would not have acted without my orders."
'Oh, f*ck! You used to be the Emei Sect Elder. How can you be so absent-minded?'
Abbess Mother Serendipity bit her lips and said, "Who could have done this besides the Elysium Gate? Only the Elysium Gate had the capability to destroy the Emei Sect.
Darryl was completely speechless; he rebuked angrily, "I have enough of talking to you."
Darryl left after he threw that line at her.
"Stop right there!" Master Abbess Mother Serendipity stomped her feet anxiously and chased after Darryl. "If it weren't the Elysium Gate, who else could it have been? What happened to my Senior Sister!"
The Emei Sect disciples' bodies were strewn all over the place, yet the Sect Master and the sect's other elders were nowhere to be found.
Darryl answered, "How would I know? Do you think I know everything?"
He looked around and said, "The blood on the ground hasn't dried yet, so the murderer must not have gone too far. I will go and see if I can catch them."
Darryl quickened his pace after he made that decision.
"Hold on!"
Abbess Mother Serendipity cried out. She bit her lips and said, "I'll go with you. Take me with you."
How could she stand around and watch when her sect was in trouble?
"You want to come with me?" Darryl looked at Abbess Mother Serendipity. He said hesitantly, "You don't have any internal energy now. What's the use of you coming with me? Even if you run into the culprit, you won't be able to fight."
Abbess Mother Serendipity said firmly, "I don't care; you have to take me with you. If you refuse, it just proves that you are guilty. The Elysium Gate is the culprit."
Darryl felt helpless when he heard that. He nodded and said, "Alright, as you wish. If you want to come along with me, then feel free to do that."
Darryl walked out of Emei Hall.
