Chapter - 3357

It seems Zeke's strength is likely on par with that of Octantis. He muttered inwardly but didn't voice his thoughts.

"Let's keep moving," Zeke said with a smile, taking the lead.

At that point, the trio was clearly centered around Zeke. Anvindr had always submitted to Zeke, and Elvis had also come to respect him. Therefore, they followed Zeke's arrangements tacitly.

Not long after, they unexpectedly stumbled upon the traces of an even larger battle.

This time, it seemed there was a living person.

The verdant forest that lay ahead had already suffered significant devastation, with the bodies of depraved spirits and Demonic Toads scattered everywhere. At the heart of the forest, there even stood a huge ancient, black temple.

Although the area was small, merely a few hundred square meters, the profound and mysterious dark aura it emitted was enough to leave the trio deeply shaken.

"I've never heard of the existence of such a large temple here. There wasn't a shred of information, not even a whisper within the martial houses."

A sense of heaviness settled in Zeke's heart, causing him and his companions to halt their steps.

Elvis and Anvindr couldn't help but look toward him, waiting for his arrangements.

They all noticed that outside the grand temple, there were quite a few bodies of human cultivators. One of them hadn't died but was injured. However, it was unknown if that person was infected or not.

The woman, adorned in a Circle of Duality robe, had an ample bosom. Her skin was fair and smooth, and her features were exquisitely beautiful, giving her the appearance of unparalleled beauty. Her lustrous, long hair reached down to her waist.

However, the trio wasn't lecherous. They wouldn't be swayed just by seeing a beautiful woman and rush to her rescue.

"Of course, we must save her, but we're not sure what the situation is," Zeke whispered to the two. "You two have seen that Circle of Duality robe, right?"

"Indeed." Anvindr nodded. "It seems she's a disciple of Duality Sect. This is a team from Duality Sect. Although they are not from the ancient martial arts houses, they are not much weaker."

"Duality Sect? Could it be t-that kind of sect?" Zeke's face flushed a bit, and he stammered slightly as he spoke.

"Which type are you referring to?” Elvis raised an eyebrow in question.

"That kind. You know what I mean," Zeke said, giving a knowing look.

Seeing that, Elvis couldn't help but flash a smirk. "You're right. It's exactly as you described."

"The dual cultivation art..."

The three of them simultaneously turned their gazes toward the beautiful woman without any prior agreement, their expressions somewhat peculiar.

Before Zeke mentioned it, no one had noticed. But once he did, everyone started to feel that the woman wasn't as innocent as they thought.

"Zeke, are you suggesting that it's acceptable not to save disciples from such sects?" Elvis was trying to decipher Zeke's intentions.

Zeke's face turned even redder, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"I was just wondering. We're all human cultivators, right? If we can save someone, we definitely should. But if we can't, we shouldn't risk ourselves in the process, right?"

"Indeed. That makes sense."

"I do have a solution." Anvindr hesitated for a moment before cautiously speaking.

"What's the solution?"

"Formation. I can use a formation to envelop the surroundings, bringing everything within its scope. However, I'm uncertain about the black temple. I don't know if it poses any danger or if it will affect the formation in any way. Once the formation is activated, it can rescue people without anyone noticing, without causing any disturbance to the environment."

Everyone fell silent.

Zeke contemplated whether he should let Anvindr execute that method.

At that moment, Elvis also spoke up. “I have a flying boat, a gift from my master. It can burst forth with incredible speed. If things go awry, we can use it to escape."

Upon seeing both of them reveal their trump cards, Zeke was somewhat taken aback.

"Why didn't you mention this earlier? Everyone, get ready. If anything goes wrong, we'll make a run for it. It's daytime now, so there's not much danger. If it were night, we certainly wouldn't risk saving her."

"Okay!"

Everyone agreed on the plan. After discussing it once more, they decided that Anvindr would set up the formation. Elvis was on standby, ready to lead the evacuation at any moment, while Zeke was tasked with the rescue mission.
