Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"You can go now!" Tania said immediately.

"What?" Zachary asked. He was visibly stunned.

"I will save his life. But after I save him, his life will be at my disposal!" Tania elaborated in an emotionless tone of voice.

"Oh my! Master Tania, you are so devious! Didn't you just agree to trade my life for his? How could you have his life at your disposal? You are not being fair!" Zachary protested immediately after he heard Tania's words.

"Well, if you don't want to accept my terms, then you can take him back! I would not save him, if it weren't for your stubbornness," Tania replied in the same emotionless tone of voice.

Zachary's brows furrowed as he thought about his options. He thought that it was more important to save Lewis' life. He stared at Lewis who lay on the ground. He then looked up at Tania, turned around and walked away.

Tania had mixed feelings as she stared at Lewis when Zachary was out of sight. She waved her hand and lifted Lewis from the ground. She transported him into the bamboo house. As the door closed, everything went back to peace again.

After Zachary entered the system, he went to the Peach Blossom Forest to heal himself first. The whole process lasted an entire day and night.

In the meantime, a Wind Turtle rushed to the Welkin Sect. When it landed, a beautiful woman dressed in white jumped off the Wind Turtle in a hurry, her face emotionless but stunningly beautiful. It was Elva. She had rushed back to the Celestial College to get aid and returned to the Welkin Sect. Elva looked around but found no one, and the entire place was as quiet as a tomb. It sent a chill down her spine and made her tremble!

"What happened here?" Elva was puzzled. She felt that something bad happened while she was at the Celestial College, something that she did not know but needed to find out.

A figure came down near Elva and a powerful aura emitted from her. A dozen similar people came down in succession. Some of them were the masters of the Celestial College, and the rest were disciples who were above the King Level.

They were led by Sara and they were here to provide support.

When Elva had returned to the Celestial College, she immediately went to Sara and asked her to take her to see Katrina. She then to

ir initial shock, they immediately cried louder. "Elva! Master Lewis, the stewards and many disciples were killed. They all died miserably! It was all Zachary's fault!"

"Master Lewis and the other stewards were killed? And you're saying that Zachary was responsible? What do you mean by that?" Elva was surprised with what she heard. She immediately knew that something was wrong.

The disciples narrated the whole story. Elva, Sara and the other warriors were shocked by what they heard.

"You mean Zachary sent those masked people to massacre the Welkin Sect?" Sara asked angrily. She never believed a single word of it.

Those disciples were intimidated by the power of Sara. One of them answered in a shaking voice, "We heard it with our own ears."

"That's impossible! He couldn't do such a thing!" Elva never believed it either. She shook her head as she felt a keen anger swell within her.

"Didn't the Zi Clan say that Zachary killed his own parents? If so, nothing is impossible," a disciple replied bravely after he gathered his courage.

Sara and Elva stared at each other. They both knew that it was far from the truth. They were now sure that the masked men who slaughtered the entire Welkin Sect intentionally schemed against Zachary. Everything was carefully planned before they came to the Welkin Sect. Unfortunately, Sara and Elva couldn't prove Zachary's innocence through mere words. Thus, the first thing that they needed to do was to find Zachary and ask him what really happened.
