Chapter - 3553

"If you decide to go, I won't be able to accompany you. I have matters of greater importance to attend to. I can only take you as far as there," Orion added.

Zeke didn't intend to inquire about the matter of greater importance. He simply nodded in response.

"Let's go. Thanks a lot, Orion!"

"All right!"

Orion had withdrawn his weapon and swiftly flew off with Zeke in tow.

Throughout the journey, Orion didn't ask much.

Clearly, he was unaware of the specifics concerning the previous clash between Zeke and Wade. All he knew was that Zeke had seized an opportunity, perhaps from a demonic cultivator.

Blaze, Storm, and the others had evidently concealed most of the circumstances regarding this matter.

Naturally, they did that to prevent others from knowing too much, which would make everyone wary of Zeke, thus leading them to hide.

The matter of the dark energy was something they didn't disclose to anyone else.

They were waiting for Zeke to fail to break through the Eternal Class before seeking them out for negotiation.

However, that was exactly what Zeke had in mind.

He also didn't want to reveal too much.

Over two hours later, after the pair had been moving at full speed, they came upon a graveyard.

Gravestones were scattered everywhere, with free-roaming dark spirits all around.

The sky was dark and gloomy.

The Dragon's Graveyard was a stark contrast to this side, as different as night and day.

Even though it was already nighttime, the moonlight here was significantly brighter compared to there. To be precise, there was no longer any moonlight there, just a chaotic light.

"Here is Ghost Tomb!" A hint of apprehension surfaced in Orion's gaze as he earnestly said, "During the day, the sun here appears as if it were the moon, its light trapped and locked away. That's why this place is quite dangerous."

He turned to Zeke and added, "Be careful. If things don't seem right, it's better to get out as soon as possible. I have a feeling it's quite dangerous."

Zeke solemnly nodded. "All right!"

Orion seemed to remember something and turned to Vela with a puzzled look. "By the way, why did you bring her? Is she Vela from Southern Martial House?"

Previously, he had encountered Zeke's team, so he still retained a slight impression of them.

"That's right. She is Vela."

"Oh! I get it now!" Orion suddenly came to a realization. "You're talking about Octantis, the one who betrayed his sect and is marked for death, right?"

Octantis, betraying the sect? Well, he has just immediately slapped a big label on him. However, this is also in line with the truth. Zeke then answered, "That's right. Octantis betrayed the sect. I will explain to his sect later and ensure he is severely punished. If I encounter him, I will make sure he regrets it."

"Okay." Orion nodded. "Why have you brought her along? Are you planning to take her into Ghost Tomb? Why don't you let me take care of her? Don't worry. I won't harm her. After all, I'm your sworn brother. You can trust me on this. It's indeed a bit risky to bring her with you."

Zeke's eyes flickered.

He did indeed entertain the idea of entrusting Vela to Orion. However, he had only known Orion for a while, and he didn't know if Orion was reliable.

However, thinking about the unknown dangers of Ghost Tomb, Zeke made his decision and asked, "Vela, how about you go with Orion first, and I'll come to get you later?"

"No!" Vela shook her head resolutely. "Zeke, I'm the only one left by your side now. They've all run away. I can't leave you too!"

"I-"

"I don't want to leave your side..."

With a quirk on his brow, Orion offered a mysterious smile. "Given the circumstances, I won't intrude on your private time any longer. I'll take my leave now."

He glanced at Zeke, slightly raising his fist in a gesture of respect. "Zeke, if anything feels off, just take off. We don't have to be stubborn. If we can't find an opportunity, so be it. After all, we'll eventually have to leave the Secret Realm of Mount Kush to join the grand battle between beasts and humans. I hope you reap great rewards!"

"All right!" Zeke nodded in agreement, returning the gesture with a respectful fist and palm salute.
