Chapter 1557 Pressure

It turned out that none of the inhabitants of Encanta Island were natives. They all came to this island at some point

in their lives. Many were not aware that they were cultivators. The only reason they came to the island was to

prolong their lifespan.

When one decided to become an inhabitant of the island, one would be given a scripture-like text to recite and

practice. On top of that, one must worship during the specified time.

Soon, people discovered that reciting the scripture had enabled them to live over a hundred years old. This

amazing finding eventually spread by word of mouth.

With that, Encanta Island went from having an initial population of several dozen to several tens of thousands. The

people who were here came from all walks of life.

“Before I first came here, I suffered from many illnesses. But I’m all cured now! You should stay. This place is

paradise,” advised the old man. With a smile, Flaxseed replied, “You’re right. I’ll think about it…”

As he excused himself from the elder, an even more pressing question arose in his heart. Who on earth could

manipulate events behind the scene to make so many ordinary people go into spiritual energy cultivation?

“Hmm… This is huge. I’d better wait till Jared finishes his cultivation…” mumbled Flaxseed to himself. He dared not

continue with his investigation. Therefore, he found a place to stay put for the time being until Jared was back.

Time flew by quickly, and three months passed just like that.

Jared had been cultivating for the past three months. Since the people from the palace of Encanta Island did not

come looking for trouble with him, everything was calm and peaceful.

However, in the Jadeborough martial arts world thousands of kilometers away, the black-robed man struck once

more, killing people and absorbing their powers.

Everyone was scared out of their wits. Some even speculated that Jared had secretly come back!

“D*mn Edgar! He doesn’t have an inch of restraint. I won’t be able to cover up for him if he keeps this up…”

In the hall of the Warriors Alliance, Zion paced back and forth angrily.

He knew that the murders this time around were not Jared’s act of revenge. Instead, it was Edgar who had done it

to raise his level of cultivation rapidly. He needed to get stronger fast, so he made a move against those from sects

or prestigious families in the martial arts world.

Besides Jadeborough, people started disappearing without reason in other places as well.

Zion felt immensely pressured as the series of murders and disappearances got increasingly out of hand.

He had already sent someone to go look for Ryker, hoping that the latter could restrain Edgar.

All this while, Zion had been constantly on edge and anxious.

It had been so long, yet he had not heard anything as to Jared’s whereabouts. Strangely, it was as if he had

disappeared from the face of the earth.

Nevertheless, Zion felt relieved that Jared was not here to stir up trouble for him at the moment.

Despite that, he had no way of knowing exactly when Jared would come back to Jadeborough and go against the

Warriors Alliance.

He could only comfort himself by fantasizing that Jared had become incapacitated and unable to fight, so he could

only hide away.

“President Zeigler, why have you summoned me in such a hurry?” asked Ryker as he walked into the hall with quick

steps.

“Hmph! You still have the audacity to ask me that? Take a look at these!” shouted Zion.

He grabbed the documents on the table and threw them at Ryker’s face.

Then, he continued scathingly, “You guys have been doing as you please without a care in the world! I’ve received

reports continuously from the Jadeborough martial arts world about the black-robed man’s attacks. Even the sects

and prestigious families who are part of the alliance were targeted! Warriors Alliances of other places have

reported the same too! Are you trying to mess up the whole martial arts world? I’ve been covering up for you guys.

But if the officials catch wind of this and start investigating, all of you from the Deragon family will not be spared.”

Zion had been frustrated beyond belief, so he vented his anger on Ryker.

As the head of the Deragon family, Ryker felt utterly humiliated to be rebuked by Zion in such a way.
