Donoghue had been in Westrington for so long that he was already familiar with the culture there. He could immediately guess that all the officials would elect Darryl to become the Emperor when he escaped. He was still the high and mighty emperor only a day before. In a blink of an eye, he had become a fugitive while his archnemesis, Darryl usurped his throne and became the emperor.
What made Donoghue even more furious was that the people chasing after him used to be respectful to him. They started hunting him down instead the very moment he had lost power.
Donoghue could not accept his sudden drastic change of fate.
‘F*ck! Darryl, you wait and see. I’ll settle this with you when I rise again.’
Donoghue gritted his teeth with that thought in mind and quickened his pace.
The cultivators chasing after him were extremely annoyed upon seeing that.
“How dare you still run?”
“F*ck, you don’t even have anywhere else to run to. How dare you not surrender. Donoghue? Do you think you still have a chance?”
“Stop talking nonsense and quickly chase after him!”
The bunch of cultivators yelled angrily. They quickened their pace and chased after Donoghue.
Previously, Donoghue was first injured by Darryl before receiving another blow of attack from Florian in the palace. He had to run for his life on top of that and was already extremely exhausted. At that moment, he had lost sense of his directions while running in panic and feeling furious. He ended up running to a cliff without realizing it while being chased after by a bunch of cultivators.
“Woola!”
Donoghue did not see where he was going because the skies were dark when he reached the cliff. He stepped onto a void, unable to even react in time before fumbling and directly falling off the cliff!
‘F*ck!’
Donoghue was shocked and furious in mid-air as he tightly held onto the Sky Breaking Axe before waving his other hand non-stop, trying to grab hold of anything he could. However, he felt the cliff’s wall as smooth as a mirror.
‘I’m done for. I’m going to die if I fall from such a height!’
Donoghue was unspeakably in despair as he muttered to himself. He could feel that the cliff was extremely high. If he did not find a way to stop his fall, he would die as his internal energy had not recovered.
“Woola!”
At that moment, the bunch of cultivators by the cliff looked at each other.
