When he entered the Altar, he could see a huge square where thousands of followers were practicing martial arts. It was a lively scene with some reading and drawing.
Although the Artemis Sect disciples were talented, they also paid great attention to their cultivation. Darryl could feel these disciples were rather powerful with all of them being at least in the Martial Marquis level!
Darryl and Jewel followed Penny to the Artemis Sect Main Palace before they finally stopped.
Penny respectfully said, “Sect Master, I present to you this year’s Gifted Hibiscus Scholar.”
“Let him in.”
A soft, gentle, and melodious voice came from the palace.
Suddenly, Darryl felt that his heartstrings were tugged on.
‘F*ck me, the Sect Master is a woman?’
At the same moment, Jewel could not help but softly muttered, “Wow, such a beautiful voice.”
Penny laughed upon listening to the both of them discussing in hushed tones. “Sir Darryl, please.”
Darryl nodded, pushed open the doors, and walked in.
He was bewildered upon entering.
There were more than a hundred people—all the Artemis Sect Elders within the palace. Among those elders, Darryl recognized two familiar figures— Simon Crescent and Summer Cruz.
“Hey, isn’t that my disciple?” Darryl smiled and looked at Summer.
At the last poetry competition with Simon, a bet was placed for Simon’s wife—Summer—to acknowledge Darryl as her master if Simon lost.
“You! ” Simon was furious he almost spat blood.
Darryl chuckled before looking in front to see a phoenix throne in front of those Elders. A woman in silk cheongsam was ambiguously showing off her alluring figure while sitting there. She had a mysterious and silent aura—like an ethereal fairy. There was also a sacred and indomitable quality in her.
This woman was none other than the Sect Master of the Artemis Sect, Debra Gable.
