Chapter 235 Asking For Help

Zachary used his fingertips to hit several acupoints on Lewis' body to produce a calming and energy-redirecting effect, causing the latter to fall unconscious.

Flames like tongues of fire roared aloud as Zachary fetched two human-sized beast skeletons from the system and threw them onto the ground. He immediately activated the Treasure-hunting Compass, and a bright, flashing light appeared above their heads. The next second, both of them disappeared.

After a while, when the fierce fire had finally died down, Warren and the others looked around and found that everything had been razed to ground, including two human-sized skeletons.

"It looks like they got burnt to a crisp! Ha-ha!" Warren burst into laughter upon witnessing the two skeletons.

"Congratulations, Master Warren. You did a good job again!" The three warriors at the primary stage of Imperial Level immediately showered him with flatteries.

"You have all done a great job, too. I will be sure to mention this to our leader," Warren replied, nodding his head arrogantly as he looked at the remaining stewards and disciples of the Welkin Sect.

"We need to kill these stewards and disciples before we return! As for the other disciples who are not around, we can spare their lives and let them go so that they can tell others what happened here today. I firmly believe that Zachary will soon become one of the most despised people in the Enigmatic Kingdom." Warren burst out into laughter again. The man felt incredibly proud of himself as though he had just completed a magnificent feat.

Right then, the stewards of the Welkin Sect as well as the rest of the disciples finally realized that Zachary had been framed by these insidious people. Unfortunately, by the time they came to learn the truth, it was already too late and they had lost the hope of survival.

Soon after, the stewards and disciples were brutally murdered and their corpses were left to rot on the ground.

Meanwhile, Warren left the Welkin Sect along with the rest of the white-clothed warriors who were called back by the three warriors at the primary stage of Imperial Level. He took with him the bodies of all the white-clothed warriors who had been killed by Zachary, making sure that no traces of evidence had been left behind.

When the disciples of the Welkin Sect who had managed to escape realized that the slaughter had stopped and the group of mysterious people had disap

k, causing blood to immediately flow down the blade. The scene was gut-wrenching.

Tania was stunned. She realized that Zachary was ready to risk everything to save Lewis. It seemed that he wouldn't mind to give his life up, if she refused to honor his request. Needless to say, if this had been before, whether or not Zachary lived or died would have no effect on her. However, ever since he accidentally broke into the forbidden area of the Fairy Island and saw the Fairy Stone, which she thought only she could see, she began to care a little about him.

"Do you really want me to save him?" Tania gazed at Zachary with a serious expression.

He nodded.

"Well, then I'll trade your life for his. From now on, your soul belongs to me. No matter what I ask you to do, you must obey me unconditionally. Even if I ask you to die, you can't complain at all." Nancy's stern expression was an indication of her seriousness.

"No problem," replied Zachary. In truth, he was actually very happy to hear that, as he had been trying to find a way to get close to Tania so that he would have the chance to finish the apprentice quest. He never thought that Tania would change her attitude towards him after he had risked his own life to save someone else's. Fortunately, this would certainly be a good opportunity for him to get close to her.

However, Zachary didn't have a lot to be happy about since he had agreed to sign his life away to Tania. This meant that his life rested solely in her hands.

He wasn't bothered by such an unreasonable deal because he only cared about returning the favor and saving Lewis' life.
