Chapter - 3599

The Nine-Tailed Enchantress spoke with some apprehension, "Her soul has completely fused with mine, but it's not impossible to separate us. I've reached the most critical step. When I chased after you earlier, I had to project my soul outside. If I kept her inside and her will was strong enough, it would cause me trouble."

In other words, Vesper's soul was now merged with the Nine-Tailed Enchantress'.

To save Vesper, they would have to separate their souls.

Yet, Zeke didn't believe her.

A playful smirk tugged at the corner of Zeke's lips, and his gaze grew cold.

"Nine-Tailed Enchantress, at this point, you're still trying to deceive me. What's the point? I know nothing about such profound soul techniques. Why don't I just obliterate your soul and see if I can find even a trace of Vesper? If I find her, then I'll believe you."

At these words, the Nine-Tailed Enchantress's expression changed drastically, turning pale in an instant.

"No! You can't do that! If you do, Vesper will die too!"

"That's not my concern!" Zeke snorted coldly, releasing a powerful soul aura.

"Wait! I'll tell you the truth!"

Fear flickered in the Nine-Tailed Enchantress's eyes as she quickly spoke up.

Hearing this, Zeke withdrew his aura and nodded.

"Speak up, and tell the truth!"

"Vesper's soul is actually in the hands of the Emerald Sword God, not mine. I provided him with vital energy so he would help me."

The Nine-Tailed Enchantress explained seriously, her tone more sincere this time.

She was telling the truth.

She had helped the Emerald Sword God in order to fully control Vesper's body.

Her schemes were far more complicated than Zeke had initially thought.

Hearing this, Zeke narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent flashing through his gaze.

"Fine. I'll believe you for now. I'll find the Emerald Sword God soon. But if you're lying, you'll be dead for sure. Don't worry, no one will be able to save you."

"You're going after the Emerald Sword God?" The Nine-Tailed Enchantress froze in surprise.

With Zeke's current strength, what good would it do if he found the Emerald Sword God?

He'd still end up being utterly defeated by the Emerald Sword God.

However, being a prisoner, she dared not say too much.

Either way, it would be difficult for her to escape now.

All she could do was hope that one day, Zeke would let her go.

As a soul spiritual body, her abilities were extremely limited, and being sealed made it even harder for her to escape.

If Zeke decided to act, she could be killed in an instant.

Zeke slowly reached out his hand, summoned a small world from his storage bag, and placed Vesper's body inside. He then further restricted the Nine-Tailed Enchantress' soul.

Finally, he locked her away within his spiritual space.

He turned to Vela, smiling slightly.

"Vela, did someone really take my wife away?"

Vela froze for a moment, blushing as she recalled. "Zeke, are you talking about Lacey?"

"Yes."

Zeke nodded.

It seemed Vela and Lacey had met after being captured.

"She... she was really taken away by a powerful elder," Vela replied seriously, her expression turning more solemn. “It seemed to be a family member of Lacey. His aura was overwhelming."

She told Zeke everything that had happened recently.

Not long after, Zeke finally understood.

It turned out that after the Nine-Tailed Enchantress had sent him to the Emerald Sword God, she saw the formation of the Secret Realm of Mount Kush breaking open in Peach Garden.

Afterward, a powerful aura appeared and took Lacey away.

The aura was gentle toward Lacey and even spoke with concern, telling her to focus on her solitary training and avoid entering the Secret Realm of Mount Kush again.
