Chapter - 3542

The darkness was deep, and the overwhelming feeling of decay continuously pressed down on them.

Zeke couldn't understand why there was such a wall here.

Calling it a wall wasn't quite true, as it didn't seem like a wall but a starry sky in chaos.

"We're here. Once I break through this wall, you can leave."

Emerald Sword God stopped and looked at Zeke.

They had reached the edge of the Ancient Graveyard.

"Sir, we'll take our leave! Please break the wall for us!" Zeke's heart raced with excitement.

Finally, they could leave and escape from Emerald Sword God.

Once he got out, Zeke decided that even if it meant dying outside, he'd never return. Emerald Sword God was not someone to provoke, and the farther he stayed away from him, the better.

Zeke had already guessed that Emerald Sword God was merely using him and had no intention of lifting his dark energy.

Emerald Sword God smiled faintly but didn't rush to let Zeke and the others leave. Instead, he suddenly said mockingly, "Hmm, Ruth has been bored for some time now. Why don't you leave two people behind to keep her company?"

Ruth?

He was referring to the little girl back there.

He had been teasing Zeke and the others to get their vital energy.

Leaving two people behind was obviously his way to threaten Zeke.

Emerald Sword God wasn't stupid.

Leaving two people behind wouldn't affect me. Zeke and the others' overall combat strength too much.

Thus, he decided to keep two of them as hostages.

Zeke's heart sank.

He had thought Emerald Sword God would let everyone go, but in the end, there were strings attached.

Taking a deep breath, he said respectfully, "Lord Emerald Sword, please trust me. We will definitely return after we leave."

Emerald Sword God's face turned cold. "Leave two people behind! You can decide for yourselves. I don't have much time and don't want to waste it!"

Zeke wanted to continue persuading him, but Emerald Sword God's gaze had already grown cold, with a hint of killing intent, making it clear he would not be swayed.

Do we really have to leave two behind? But who?

Elvis stepped forward first.

"Zeke, I'll wait for you to come back! You have to lure in those demonic cultivators so Emerald Sword God can drain their vital energy, or else I'll have no choice but to offer my own to him!"

After speaking, he looked at Emerald Sword God and respectfully bowed. the world."

"Lord Emerald Sword, please treat me kindly. It is my greatest fortune to follow you and learn more about the mysteries of the world."

"Elvis!" Zeke was anxious.

Seeing Zeke's distress, Emerald Sword God squinted slightly.

Since Zeke cared about Elvis, it meant Elvis had some value. Keeping him here wasn't a bad idea.

"Very well. Follow me, and I'll show you around the Ancient Graveyard. There are even some supreme beings' legacies. If you have the opportunity, you might learn them." Emerald Sword God smiled faintly.

Elvis was elated and bowed excitedly.

"Many thanks, Lord Emerald Sword!"

At that moment, he took out his phone and hesitated. "Lord Emerald Sword, could you take me to a few more places? I want to check if I can get a signal on my phone."

Emerald Sword God was momentarily stunned.

It was rare for anything to shock him, even in ancient times.

Yet somehow, Elvis had managed it.

Zeke and the others were left bewildered.

They couldn't believe this was the reason Elvis volunteered to stay.

Moreover, Elvis was absurdly naive, thinking that Emerald Sword God would let them go if Zeke could attract some demonic cultivators for Emerald Sword God to replenish his vital energy.

That was why he was willing to stay behind. That was naive of him.

Strangely enough, Anvindr seemed to think the same. He rushed forward, fearing someone else might steal his chance. He even flew over to Emerald Sword God's side and spoke hurriedly. "Lord Emerald Sword, I also have a gaming console in my storage pouch. I can teach you how to play games! I know you're not familiar with this era, but I can show you! It's really fun!"
