The legendary warrior

"Ricky, you... you are… oh, God! I really don't know what to say about you! You're under arrest, Ricky!" Elder Abbott said gravely.

Elder Abbott's attitudes toward Ricky had changed several times. But all in all, he liked the young warrior quite a lot. But he had gone too far this time. In an act unprecented in the Snow Sect, Ricky had killed a fellow disciple.

Heather was extremely confused, in shock at having no idea what Ricky had done.

But Ricky reassured her, and she calmed down a little.

Elder Abbott led Ricky to the Law Enforcement Hall. Seeing such a tense situation, Heather grew quite anxious and knocked Grace's door, telling her that Ricky had been arrested.

On the road to the Law Enforcement Hall, Rod shouted insults and threats at Ricky again and again.

But Elder Abbott shooed Rod away, along with the other people who were chattering at Ricky.

When they arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall, Ricky was put into a prison cell. Its walls were made of fine iron, making it impossible for Ricky to escape. Outside, numerous guards stood watch.

"It now appears that I have gotten myself into quite a bit of trouble," Ricky murmured to himself as he looked at the darkness all around him.

......

The story of Ricky killing Phil had spread throughout the whole Sect overnight.

The truth about why Ricky did it gradually came out as the news spread. Some disciples thought that Ricky was a man with integrity who was forthright in making a distinction between kindness and revenge. Some of the female disciples pitied Ricky. because they felt as though Rick was not guilty.

But there were some others who hoped that Ricky would bear harsh consequences. They said that Ricky outright broke the primary rule that had never been broken in the Snow Sect. To them, even a thousand deaths would not atone for his crime.

But the final adjudication was up to the Elders, Chief Zenith, and the Dominant Top Elder, Boris.
