Chapter - 3512

The rims of her captivating eyes were tinged with redness, yet she tried to keep her tone nonchalant.

Upon seeing her like that, Zeke couldn't help but chuckle. "Lord Vesper, isn't it time to leave?"

Zeke was suggesting Vesper use her teleportation energy to teleport them away.

Elvis and the others also came over.

"Zeke, are you leaving?"

"That's right!" Zeke nodded, looking at them with a smile. "If you wish to stay, I won't force you to leave. By now, our journey through the Dark Swamp has come to an end, and it's time for us to explore the wider world. Our meeting in the Dark Swamp was a coincidence. Whether we part ways now depends on our own desire."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and soon enough, they had an answer.

"No, I'd rather stick with Zeke. I'll run into better opportunities."

"Zeke, we won't leave. Please, let us continue to follow you. Our team will stay united, forever unbreakable just like our friendship."

Zeke let out a hearty laugh at their response.

"All right, since everyone has spoken, let's all leave together later," he said.

Just then, Storm's icy voice echoed in the air.

"Leave? But where will you go?"

Zeke furrowed his brows, turning his gaze toward Storm.

Storm then cast his gaze at the others, scanning them before slowly speaking, "I have some unfortunate news to share. Zeke has been afflicted with dark energy. Soon, he will become a depraved spirit."

Become a depraved spirit?

Dark energy was something an ordinary person couldn't perceive, yet top prodigies could sense it.

At that moment, Vesper's pretty face turned pale. She released her spiritual consciousness, searching for the aura of dark energy.

Indeed, Zeke's body truly did possess it.

Everyone's expressions drastically changed.

No one expected Zeke to be afflicted by it.

In the Secret Realm of Mount Kush, that would basically mean death. No one could save one afflicted with dark energy.

If an Eternal Class supreme being were to descend, Zeke might still have hope.

However, an Eternal Class couldn't descend.

Hence, it was a troublesome matter.

Zeke didn't feel particularly angry when Storm saw through him. He simply shot Storm a cold glance,

"Storm, say whatever you want. I intended to ask you all to leave me with an address so that I could find you guys later if necessary, but now, it seems unnecessary."

Storm was taken aback.

At that moment, he felt slightly regretful.

Had I known earlier, I wouldn't have revealed it. Now, I've truly done it! Zeke is now thoroughly offended!

At that moment, Blaze had also positioned himself next to him, giving him a stern glare before he sent Storm a telepathy.

Hey Storm, what are you doing? He's definitely fuming right now because he's afflicted by dark energy. Can't you comfort him a bit? So, he may willingly hand over the Demonic Lotus to us later. Even though his power is only in the late stage, and somewhat weaker than ours, he could defeat Wade. It won't be wise for us to attack him forcibly. If he ends up hurting us, you'll truly look foolish.

After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath, looked toward Zeke, and communicated telepathically.

Mr. Zeke, I'll leave you with an address, so please come find me later.

He anticipated Zeke's response, yet Zeke disregarded him, focusing his attention solely on Aretta.

He didn't speak, but it was clear to anyone that he was communicating by telepathy..

Swiftly, it seemed his telepathic conversation had ended. Aretta subtly nodded, seemingly in agreement with his words.

Amidst the group's puzzled expressions, Zeke turned his gaze toward Vesper.

"Let's get going, Lord Vesper!"

"Lord Vesper?" Vesper glared at Zeke, her fair hand gently swaying. A streak of starlight gradually sparkled on her wrist.

Suddenly, a surge of teleportation energy formed and instantly enveloped them.

Blaze and Storm appeared visibly upset, wanting to intervene but were wary of Zeke's formidable strength.

Thus, all that could be done was to leave behind a few words.

"Zeke, after you leave, I hope you won't continue to collude with this witch!"

"I hope you come to your senses soon."

Subsequently, with unsightly expressions, they watched as Zeke and his party vanished, yet weren't able to stop him.

After Zeke left, Storm swiftly set up a soundproof formation with a wave of his hand, enveloping the three of them. Then, he turned to Aretta and asked, "Aretta, what did he tell you?"

"How fanciful! He actually thought he could break through. Well, if that's the case, let's wait for him. Hopefully, he doesn't run into anyone else and lose the petals," Blaze scoffed.

"Let's just patiently wait for him then. I hope he doesn't let us down."
