Chapter - 3552

The one that belonged to Wade, which Zeke had placed in his storage bag, was not taken out.

What he held in his hands was the Black Dragon Spear that belonged to Cirrus.

Since it was an extra weapon, he simply gave it to Orion.

He tossed the Black Dragon Spear toward Orion, his lips curling into a faint smile. "Orion, divine weapons are rare, and I'm willing to gift you one. It aligns well with the Great Pryncyp you've chosen to cultivate. Even though it was previously owned by a demonic cultivator, I believe you can put it to good use."

Upon receiving Cirrus' Black Dragon Spear, Orion laughed heartily.

"Thanks a lot, Zeke!"

He was a man of deep emotions, clearly distinguishing between friends and foes.

Glancing toward Ellena, he gave a casual wave of his hand and said, "I won't take back the items anymore. This spear has already surpassed the value of those items. However, our conflict isn't over yet! I'm only letting you off the hook out of respect for Zeke."

In his joy, he changed his tune.

Even when he looked at Zeke again, his face was already filled with a warm, enthusiastic smile.

"Zeke, what do you think about us becoming sworn brothers? While we're in the Secret Realm of Mount Kush, we could help each other out. How about it?"

In reality, Orion wasn't foolish. He didn't make that suggestion just because he had received a gift.

It was because he knew Zeke's talent was extraordinarily formidable.

Although it was by a stroke of luck that he reached the zenith stage of Nebula Class, it still demonstrated Zeke's unmatched prowess. Even in the Secret Realm of Mount Kush, teeming with numerous prodigies, his talent was incredibly formidable.

Given the circumstances, he thought it was a good choice to make Zeke his sworn brother.

The fact that Zeke was willing to give him the Black Dragon Spear was a sign of his respect. for him.

Hence, he was quite satisfied with Zeke.

Upon hearing the suggestion, Zeke initially wanted to refuse. However, upon reflection, he realized there was no need to refuse a cultivator of such temperament.

In case he ran into trouble in the future, he could always turn to Orion for help.

"All right, Orion!" Zeke immediately exclaimed. "There's no need for formalities. We, as cultivators, are open and straightforward. There's no need for rituals or ceremonies. As long as you acknowledge it in your heart, that makes true buddies!"

Upon hearing that, Orion was overjoyed and burst into hearty laughter.

Subsequently, he glanced at Ellena with disdain. "My buddy is here with me. You better leave now, or we'll join forces and take you down!"

A shadow crossed Zeke's forehead.

He really didn't expect Orion to have such a fiery temper.

Ellena's face turned cold, and she disregarded Orion. She shifted her gaze toward Zeke and said, "Zeke, what you're doing isn't appropriate. Quickly retrieve the Black Dragon Spear. There's no need to establish such a relationship with him!"

Upon reaching this point in her speech, she seemed to drop any pretense, stating outright, "Actually, I have a pretty good relationship with Aretta. I know about your relationship with her. You both supported each other in Dark Swamp. What's the big deal about Orion? You've only known him for a short while!"

"What a joke!" Orion scoffed. "I've known Zeke for a long time!"

Huh? Zeke was momentarily stunned. He then found himself torn between laughter and tears.

Ellena pursed her lips. "Whatever I discuss with him has nothing to do with you."

"Zeke, what do you think? If you want to retrieve the Black Dragon Spear today, I'll immediately lend a hand and help you reclaim it!" Ellena said.

Zeke furrowed his brows and responded, "No need, Ellena. You should just leave. I wielded the Black Dragon Spear for your protection. Let's all just stay calm. There's no need to fight everywhere."

Ellena fell silent, and after a moment, she made a gesture of acknowledgment and said, "All right. I won't say much, then. Thank you for your help! I'll be leaving first. I'll let Aretta know about your news. She really cares about you!"

After she finished speaking, her figure flickered, and she left.

After she left, Orion's eyes held a hint of surprise as he turned to look at Zeke.

"Do you have a connection with Aretta?" Orion asked.

Zeke shook his head, quickly clarifying, "Orion, it's normal to collaborate in the Secret Realm of Mount Kush. It's just that I've worked with Aretta before, so she might be overthinking things."

"That's good, then." Orion nodded before pointing in another direction and saying earnestly, "Zeke, since you wish to visit Ghost Tomb, I can guide you there. However, do you really insist on going?"
