Chapter 535 Shameless Women
“Understood,” Elijah replied, nodding in acknowledgment.
Elijah ventured deeper into the Crescent Sect’s lair 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 become these days.
Although Elijah managed to abduct many women, only a handful of them were virgins, hence the slow
progress,” Liam explained.

At that moment, the clay vessel beside Fabian clattered 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 clay vessel and took a large 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 slaughtered 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 himself committed 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 alarm 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 recomposing himself, he continued to lead the group further
inland.
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 collar. Seeing this, Tristan hugged Megan under the
pretense of warming her up. Nevertheless, Megan did not reject his advances.
