At this moment, the entire scene was silent, as everyone was stunned as they looked at the exit.

After Alicia came back to her senses and rushed forward, she grabbed Jaston's collar aggressively and shouted, "What have you done?"

He snorted coldly and shook her off him.

She was full of anger. She roared and charged at him. "Jaston, Fade saved you, but you repay him by being ungrateful? Are you even human? You're barely an animal."

He looked at her with a cold stare and said, "If you wish to make a move, I don't mind playing along."

After saying so, an aura of energy erupted from his body, which instantly came pressing down on everyone.

Alicia's strength was already weaker than Jaston's to begin with. Moreover, she had already transferred an amount of positive energy to Fade, so there was not much left in her now. Hence, she wasn't capable of fighting.

As for Jaston, he had some energy left in him.

As a result, the other members came forward and pulled Alicia back.

Upon seeing this, Jaston withdrew the positive energy back to himself.

On the side, Balton, who came out last, wore a stern expression as he looked at Jaston and coldly said, "Why are you doing this?"

Jaston glanced at him and said, "Even if I don't, I'm sure you would do the same! I only did what the both of us wanted."

"Don't imprint your thoughts on me," Balton said in a deep tone, with his voice full of fury.

Confused, Jaston looked at him. "Are you mad?

"Stop fooling around, we are both Fade's enemies, we cannot co-exist.

"Fade's performance was outstanding this time, and he'll definitely receive the compliments of the Sixteen Inner Halls. His future would be bright. Think about the consequences this time and what will happen to us if he really chose to develop his skills."

"If that's the case, why don't we just take matters into our own hands and immediately get rid of him, so there won't be any more trouble in the future."

Balton looked at Jaston, who looked self-righteous, and said coldly, "Don't involve me in your own opinions. I may be Fade's enemy, but I'm not as shameless and disgusting as you." "You..." As Jaston was about to say something, Balton waved his hands, turned, and left.

Upon seeing this, Jaston curled his lips, and his eyes showed a hint of malice. "If I had known you were so morally inclined, I should have killed both you and Fade together. You are just a good-for-nothing!"

At this moment, after Fade was engulfed by the green ball of mist, the mist began to spin and surge. The leaves and branches around him also started to spin quickly. In the end, they all flew towards the green ball of mist and transformed into emerging eams of light.

The green ball of mist kept contracting and surging. Finally, with a whoosh, a stream of light appeared and it surged upwards and within a second, everything vanished.

Not long after, streams of apparitions flew up and as they appeared, it was Nestor, Lucio, Pierzy, and the rest of the captains.

"What happened? Why are all of you gathered here?" Pierzy asked.

"Jaston killed Fade. He killed Fade." Alicia said, agitated.

Upon hearing this, Nestor's expression changed. "Killed Fade? What's going on? What happened here?"

The other captains also revealed looks of surprise and bewilderment.

Finally, Balton started to speak of the incident from the beginning till the end.

After listening, there was a change in all of the captains' faces, "What? The green ball of mist, the lightning leaves, and branches? That... That was the heart of the tree." "How could this be? You guys have run into the heart of the tree that we and the countless chiefs before us were not able to find, and you guys found it."

"Fade was swallowed up by the heart of the tree?"

"Mr. Moo, what is the heart of the tree?" Alicia asked.

Nestor said in a deep voice, "The tree's heart can be said to be the core of the Prohibition Tree, the essence of the tree. It contains immense energy and spiritual

energy that even the normale.net

Prohibition Qi from the Prohibition free can't be compared to

"But the tree's heart also extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be crushed by the energy and turned into ashes. Even ordinary Half-Lord Level martial artists can't resist the attack of the tree's heart, let alone all of you.

"Generally, only a master of the Lord Level, or at least someone who is close to the Lord Level, would be able to withstand the powers of the tree's heart."

After hearing Nestor's words, Alicia's face dropped as she spoke, "So that means that Fade, he..."

Anger surged into her heart. She pointed at Jaston and said, "Mr. Moo, he was the one who killed Fade. He must be punished!"

He quickly said, "Don't talk

nonsense. I wanted to help Fade get out, but I didn't expect that the ball of mist behind him would move so fast. He was already swallowed up by the ball of mist before I could do anything." "Jaston, I can't believe you're still quibbling!" She was furious and was about to fight him.

However, Nestor stopped her and walked over to Jaston with a cold expression. "Are you telling the truth?"

"What I said is the truth!" Jaston insisted.

"You must know the consequences of lying in front of me!" Nestor's face darkened.

Jaston then felt tremendous pressure. His face turned red and his mouth kept trembling.

However, at this crucial moment, Lucio stood beside Jaston and patted him on the shoulder. The pressure on Jaston instantly dissipated.

Lucio turned to Nestor and said, "Mr. Moo, I understand that you will feel unhappy as your member has passed on, but there's no need for you to blame it on others!" "Lucio, are you trying to protect him?" Nestor looked at him.

Lucio chuckled and said, "Protect him? Jaston never did anything to Fade in the first place, so why is it necessary for me to do that?"

"Everything is as clear as crystal. The other members saw what happened," Nestor said.

"Besides Alicia, who has a good relationship with Fade, I don't see the others saying anything, right?" As he spoke, Lucio turned his gaze to the other members.

Immediately, the members who were about to speak shut their mouths tightly.

No one was willing to help a dead man, in fear of offending a deacon like Lucio.

Even Balton, who was frowning and wanted to step forward, was held back by Pierzy's glance.

Pierzy was not afraid of Lucio, but he did not want to get involved in a situation like this. Rather, he would like to see the fight go down between Lucio and Nestor and benefit from it.

Such a scene made Alicia utterly disappointed She looked at the others with a face full of grief and indignation. "Are all of you ungrateful people? If it wasn't for Fade, all of us would have died inside. Fade is your lifesaver. And as a result of it, you don't even dare to go against injustice.

"Don't you all feel guilt?"

All the members lowered their heads but spoke not a single word.
