Chapter 535 Shameless Women


    “Understood,” Elijah replied, nodding in acknowledgment.


    Elijah ventured deeper into the Crescent Sect’sir with Jared and the rest in tow.


    Meanwhile, in the grand hall of the Crescent Sect, Fabian and Liam, the oldest elder, were engrossed


    in a game of chess. It was Fabian’s favorite pastime.


    “It’s time for us to get our hands on the secret scroll and destroy Dante. You need to hurry up and


    capture his daughter. I’ve caught wind that she has returned to Jadeborough,” Fabian said to Liam.


    “Elijah is on it. We’ll receive news of his efforts soon,” Liam replied respectfully.

    Suddenly, Fabian thought of something and asked angrily, “Also, so much time has passed. Is it really


    so difficult to find twenty young women?”


    “Mr. Quillen, I’ve asked about it before. You know how progressive our society has be these days.


    Although Elijah managed to abduct many women, only a handful of them were virgins, hence the slow


    progress,” Liam exined.


    Fabian scoffed and moved one of his chess pieces forward. “Women these days are so shameless!”


    At that moment, the y vessel beside Fabian ttered loudly. It seemed like one of the parasites


    within it had suffered a tremendous shock.


    Startled, Fabian opened it. Immediately, all blood drained from his cheeks.


    “Mr. Quillen, what’s the matter?” Liam asked when he noticed Fabian’s ashen face.


    Carefully, Fabian reached into the y vessel and took arge parasite out. Furrowing his brows, he


    said solemnly, “Elijah is dead…”


    “What? Elijah died?”


    “This is his parasite. Since it died, it means that Elijah has also lost his life. Who on earth killed him?” A


    dark expression loomed across Fabian’s face.


    “Could it be someone from the Department of Justice? Recently, we ughtered quite a few of their


    men. Maybe they decided to get revenge for what we did,” Liam suggested.


    “That’s possible.” Fabian nodded, signifying his approval of Liam’s hypothesis. “Bring the other elders


    with you and investigate this murder. Don’t make any sudden moves even if the Department of Justice


    was behind this, okay? We’d have a lot of trouble on our hands if Theodore himselfmitted this


    murder. Right now, we are no match for the Department of Justice. Instead, we need to be cautious


    and avoid provoking them at all costs.”


    “I got it.” Liam jumped to his feet and rushed out to carry out Fabian’s instructions.


    “Just wait until I master the Five Poison Technique. The Department of Justice won’t stand a chance!”


    A dangerous glint gleamed in Fabian’s eyes as he spoke.


    In the meantime, Elijah, Jared, and the rest had already made their way out of the holiday resort and


    headed deeper into Crescent Sect territory. Jared had been here once and knew that there was an


    arcane array right in front. He assumed it was to serve as an rm that there were intruders.


    “Mr. Chance, there’s an arcane array in front that will alert Fabian once intruders trespass it. Let me


    remove it.” With that, Elijah moved toward a stone wall nearby.


    “There’s no need to go through so much trouble.” Jared flicked his finger, and a red beam shot out


    toward the trap.


    When the light came into contact with the arcane array, it spread rapidly. In mere seconds, the trap


    vanished into thin air.


    Once the array was disabled, Jared beckoned at the group. “Let’s go.”


    On the other hand, Elijah was stunned. After rposing himself, he continued to lead the group


    further ind.


    At the back of the group, Shane felt his cheeks heat up when he witnessed Jared’s powers. All this


    time, I’ve thought of him as nothing more than a sheltered individual used to having his way. Contrary


    to my expectations, the might of his strength is beyond my wildest dreams.


    Shane finally understood why Theodore instructed him to get in contact with Jared. Theodore must be


    confident in Jared’s abilities, so much so that he dared send me and the men here to destroy the


    Crescent Sect.


    The deeper they traversed, the darker it got. Furthermore, the temperature around the group began to


    plummet. It felt like they were moving through a frigid mist.


    The cold draft prompted Megan to button up her cor. Seeing this, Tristan hugged Megan under the


    pretense of warming her up. Nevertheless, Megan did not reject his advances.
