Chapter - 3302

Zeke's words left Octantis and the others speechless.

Anything else would have been debatable, but. since Heavenly God, Canopus, and Polaris had no objections, they really couldn't say much else.

"Wait! Zeke, the person you're carrying... isn't human? Why couldn't I sense even a hint of human aura from her?" Eridanus suddenly exclaimed.

Huh?

Taken aback for a moment, Octantis immediately began to sense it too.

A moment later, his expression changed. "It's the aura of the Kush Clan! She carries the aura of the Kush Clan! D*mn it! She's not human but of the Kush Clan! Zeke, you colluded with the Kush Clan. According to the rules of the ancient martial houses, you should die!"

Then, he ordered, "Everyone, listen up. Surround Zeke!"

Swoosh!

Everyone sprang into action immediately. In the blink of an eye, they had completely surrounded Zeke.

Carrying a demonic beast around was entirely different from someone of the Kush Clan.

There was still room for reconciliation between humans and demonic beasts, but humans were sworn enemies of the Kush Clan.

After all, the Kush Clan continuously attempted to destroy the Dragon's Vein of humans.

Someone in alliance with the Kush Clan was considered a betrayal to humans. Thus, it would not be unreasonable to kill that person.

Zeke was not flustered in the slightest.

He had always felt that if he were to unleash his full strength, they might not necessarily be able to match him.

Even if he were on the losing end, with the aid of Squirrel, he was fully capable of escaping from them.

He said coldly, "Move aside immediately. Don't force me to make a move against my own kind."

"Let you go? Sure. But first, put down that Kushlan," Octantis demanded.

"This Kushlan has never harmed humans or attempted to destroy Eurasia's Dragon's Vein. Moreover, she saved my life numerous times, so I owe her a debt of gratitude. Do you think I would possibly hand her over to you?" Zeke said.

Octantis declared, "It is a rule of the ancient martial houses that upon encountering anyone of the Kush Clan, we must kill them! If you remain obstinate, we will have no choice but to forcibly carry out our ancestors' teachings."

He then ordered, "Prepare for battle!"

Whoosh!

Everyone swiftly drew their weapons, resulting in a series of sharp, piercing sounds of steel clashing.

Zeke carefully set Edurne down, his indifferent gaze sweeping over them all. He said, "Very well, then. I am eager to experience the strength of ancient martial artists nurtured with nearly all of humans' resources."

Zeke's confidence left Octantis and the others greatly astonished.

At his best, he's merely of Celestial Class. Where on earth did he get the audacity to challenge so many of us of Nebula Class and Sun and Moon Class? Even the weakest among us can easily kill him.

They quickly surmised the answer in their hearts.

He must be a fearless novice, yet to have seen the world and unaware of our formidable strength. He might not have even heard of Nebula Class or Sun and Moon Class! It's time to teach this arrogant fellow a good lesson.

Both parties were at odds, and a battle could break out at any moment.

At that critical moment, Vela suddenly cried out, "Stop! Everyone, stop!"

Those of the ancient martial arts houses looked at Vela, puzzled. "What's wrong, Vela? Why are you stopping us?"

Vela said coldly, "Zeke's collusion with the Kush Clan makes him a great enemy of humans. He is not qualified to be our leader," Then, she continued, "We want to leave now. You don't mind, do you?"

Zeke remained silent, not in the mood to respond.

Vela said, "Silence means tacit consent. Octantis, let's go. He's not our team leader anymore, and we have nothing to do with him now."

Unwilling to let it go, Octantis quickly shouted, "Vela, stop! How can we let this traitor off so easily?"

Vela threw Octantis a look. "Trust me, Octantis. This is the best choice."

Octantis looked at her and pondered for a moment before he finally relented helplessly,

"All right. I'll go with you!"

He then warned, "Hmph! Don't let me see you again next time, Zeke. Otherwise, I'll surely break your limbs!"

Subsequently, he said to the others, "Let's go!"
