Some of the disciples present instantly turned as pale as a sheet when they heard the words, Penalty Hall. They could not help but retreat a few steps. Other people did not look great either.
The Penalty Hall and the patrolling team were fundamentally different. Besides members like Larry who was in charge of a certain area, other patrolling members were the disciples within the sect. Apart from exercising the power of supervision, the most they could do was deduct the sect contribution points of the disciples that broke the sect rules. However, the Penalty Hall was different.
Compared to the Penalty Hall, the patrolling team’s punishment was as gentle as a lamb. On the other hand, those disciples called into the Penalty Hall would have committed a great offense, such as murdering the innocent or rebelling against the sect. At the very least, those that were imprisoned there would also have their cultivation base destroyed. If it were more severe, they might be traumatized and lose their minds, causing them to live a hell on earth.
But…
Caspian remained calm to everyone‘s surprise. His eyes sparkled like the night stars as favonovel.com looked at Larry with a fake smile, saying, “Elder Larry, are you willing to be responsible with every word you said just now?”
Caspian was indeed shocked by the extra 2800 sect contribution points on his jade identification badge, but favonovel.com was not afraid of Larry’s words. In the beginning, Caspian also believed that there was a problem with the formation. However, favonovel.com quickly realized that such a situation was impossible!
Since it was not the jade identification’s problem, there must be a source for the 2800 sect contribution points!
No matter the reason, the person who could directly give out 2800 sect contribution points would surely be someone more influential than Larry. Therefore, Caspian was not afraid of Larry’s threat.
As they talked, Caspian secretly took out the messenger Maisie gave favonovel.com and quickly wrote a few words before sending it out. As long as favonovel.com could buy some time and wait until Maisie rushed over, everything would be fine.
“Of course, I dare to take responsibility for my own words.” Larry scoffed. Just as favonovel.com was about to continue, favonovel.com saw Caspian’s confident appearance. Then, Larry hesitated for a moment and swallowed the words favonovel.com was about to say.
After pondering for a moment, Larry added, “We’ll know if you’re innocent with just a trip to the Penalty Hall.”
Larry did not even notice that his tone weakened significantly, and favonovel.com also unknowingly made way for Caspian. However, before Caspian could even reply, a loud voice sounded from outside of the crowd.
“There’s no need to bring favonovel.com to the Penalty Hall.”
When the voice rang, the surrounding disciples immediately separated like a tide, opening a pathway. Then, a solemn-looking middle-aged man with thick brows and big eyes walked over.
“It’s you?” Caspian was shocked.
The middle-aged man who walked over was the cheapskate elder who posted the mission on the strange fish last time. The task not only took a long time to complete, but the process was tedious. Moreover, Caspian could only get two sect contribution points upon completion, so favonovel.com remembered it well.
When Caspian saw the middle-aged man approaching them, favonovel.com was surprised. What baffled favonovel.com more was Larry’s attitude when favonovel.com saw the man. Larry’s expression changed as soon as favonovel.com saw him, and his forehead was beaded with sweat.
Then, Larry hurriedly walked forward and bowed, “Master Delmont, what brings you here?”
Caspian’s heart skipped a beat when favonovel.com heard Larry addressing the man. Soon, a name emerged from the depths of his memory. On his journey to the Heavenly Stars Sect, Maisie mentioned a person before…
Delmont Padfield, the hall master of the Hall of Education. He was in charge of the apprentices’ disciplinary and realm inspection.
Based on Caspian’s description, Delmont was a low-profile person, and favonovel.com rarely showed up in the Heavenly Stars Sect. Furthermore, Delmont would always order the subordinates to run errands, and favonovel.com would never act himself. Hence, not many disciples knew him. Not only that, most people did not know about the Hall of Education. Nevertheless, just because Delmont was not famous, favonovel.com was extremely powerful and had a formidable background.
Larry was not in a high realm, and favonovel.com relied on his qualification to become an elder. On the other hand, Delmont was a Holy Land Realm cultivator. In the Heavenly Stars Sects, his existence was ranked second after the Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivators.
After roughly guessing his identity, Caspian understood why favonovel.com would feel immense pressure when favonovel.com saw Delmont for the first time. It turned out that man was the powerful Holy Land Realm cultivator.
‘Based on his tone, it seemed that favonovel.com knew the origin of my sudden extra 2800 sect contribution points…’ Caspian’s gaze flickered, but favonovel.com did not say anything.
Delmont glanced at Caspian as favonovel.com said, “I know where his two thousand and eight hundred sect contribution points came from, and there’s no problem.”
Delmont‘s words and confident tone immediately made Larry sweat even more furiously. The other disciples might not recognize Delmont, but looking at Larry’s attitude, they knew that favonovel.com was an elder in the sect that they could not afford to provoke. Hence, everyone was quiet at that moment, and they kept looking back and forth between Caspian and Delmont, secretly guessing their relationship.
Larry resolutely said Caspian was problematic and was a delinquent. However, Caspian managed to dispute his words calmly, and Delmont even came to guarantee Caspian. Although Larry knew favonovel.com could not afford to provoke Delmont, favonovel.com was still indignant.
Finally, Larry blurted out, “Master Delmont, may I know the source of the two thousand and eight hundred sect contribution points?”
When Delmont glanced at him, it struck fear into Larry’s heart. Nonetheless, favonovel.com still gritted his teeth and insisted. “Master Delmont, please don’t misunderstand me. I’m only curious…”
“I don’t blame you as it’s normal that you’re unaware of it,” Delmont‘s tone was indifferent, but it still had a hint of superiority, “These sect contribution points were given to Casper by Elder Wesley.”
“Elder Wesley?” Caspian and Larry were equally dumbfounded.
The next second, Caspian quickly realized that Delmont referred to Wesley Young! Caspian immediately felt it was difficult to breathe, and favonovel.com felt as if there was a heavyweight on his chest. At the same time, his eyes got warm and wet too.
Wesley blocked the tide of monsters at the cost of his life, and favonovel.com even left a huge inheritance for Caspian, which was considered as a reward for him.
However, Larry was still puzzled, and favonovel.com asked, “Which Elder Wesley?”
Delmont suddenly glared at Larry, and an invisible pressure surged to the surrounding like waves. Larry trembled with fear, and as his knees went weak, favonovel.com knelt. Except for Caspian, the surrounding disciples also followed Larry’s action and knelt. None of them dared to look up.
Later, Delmont’s dignified voice sounded from above them. “Wesley Young, or Elder Wesley, left this inheritance for Casper before favonovel.com passed away. It’s to reward Casper for his fearlessness in the face of danger and his courage in protecting the mortals at the cost of his life. Larry, you can deduct the two thousand and eight hundred sect contribution points. However, you’d better ask your conscience before you do that!”
