Chapter - 3364

"If I were to encounter Aretta, I would certainly tell her the truth and uphold justice!"

Vela's eyebrows also deeply furrowed.

To be honest, she didn't perceive Zeke to be that kind of person. She figured there must have been some other reasons behind it.

Moreover, what Octantis said made no sense at all. It was full of inconsistencies, clearly spoken with the sole intention of deception.

"Octantis, do you have any grievances against Zeke? If yes, feel free to tell me directly. I don't mind. I've noticed that you've been harboring some resentment toward Zeke all this while."

The look on Vela's pretty face had turned somewhat cold.

Even someone innocent like her had noticed something was amiss.

The look on Octantis' face turned gloomy.

"Vela, we're from the same sect, and I've always been there to protect you. I've been by your side ever since we entered the secret realm. How could you trust a stranger over me?"

Vela sighed. "You shouldn't say that, Octantis. I just wanted to ask about your true feelings. I'm not siding with outsiders."

"Fine!"

Upon hearing this, Octantis dropped all pretense and said outright, "Yes, I am dissatisfied with Zeke. So what?"

A chill ran down Vela's spine. She never expected that the senior she had always admired would utter such words.

She couldn't help but recall the various events that had transpired before, realizing that it was a flare-up of Octantis jealousy.

Her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she just couldn't find the words.

She was utterly disappointed.

At that moment, Zeke gave a slight smile, his gaze settling on Vela.

"Vela, I can protect you within the Secret Realm of Mount Kush too. Our strength here is not much weaker than yours. Why don't you consider joining us?"

His words prompted Elvis to respond with a nod and a smile, his face radiating goodwill.

"Miss, I am Elvis, a disciple from Northern Martial House. I possess great strength and am willing to accompany Zeke in exploring the Secret Realm of Mount Kush for opportunities. We can work together, and rest assured, you will be treated fairly if you join us."

Seeing that Zeke was trying to win them over, the members of their team naturally offered to help.

Since she was a person chosen by Zeke, she undoubtedly had her merits.

And so, with a playful smile, Frostine also waved cheerfully at Vela.

"Vela, I am a disciple of the Duality Sect. I'm also willing to follow Zeke in search of opportunities. Once you join, you should follow my lead."

Frostine appeared to be of a tender age, yet compared to Vela, she wasn't quite as youthful.

As such, there was no issue with her saying that.

Their squad was truly ingenious, which was unlike Octantis' squad, where there was simply no conversation, and no one knew what to say.

At that moment, only Octantis stepped forward, his expression dark and brooding. Two longswords materialized around him, radiating an intense aura of power.

"Such insolence! What are you planning to do with Vela? Zeke, you must have bad intentions for luring her over!"

The expression on Octantis' face had turned even more unsightly.

With a casual flip of his hand, the compass floated up into his grasp.

He then suddenly unleashed his power as a peak Sun and Moon Class warrior.

On that compass, constellations emerged, their brilliance utterly dazzling.

Inside, there was an incredibly oppressive aura of terror, as if it could explode at any moment.

Under the influence of this compass, he could probably go head-to-head with those in the late stage of the Sun and Moon Class.

"Hahaha!"

Upon seeing the situation, Zeke didn't show any fear. Instead, he threw his head back and laughed heartily.

“Octantis, since you told me that the compass was for guidance, why did you deceive me before, claiming it was to find treasures? If you wanted to kill me, you could have just said so. There's no need to be so secretive about it."

Octantis gritted his teeth in humiliation and anger as he yelled, "Bullsh*t! I had no intention of hurting you! I only wanted to help you!"

Zeke wore an expression of disdain.

"Stop lying. If it's a fight you want, then a fight you shall get."

After he spoke, his face took on a chilling coldness.

A surge of energy exploded within Octantis without restraint.

He now held a massive black sword in his hand.
