Chapter 538 This Will Be Your Grave
When the group arrived at the lake, they could feel the drop in temperature. Geographically, the lake separated the valley into two. Anyone who wanted to get to the other side had no choice but to cross the lake.
As a cold mist emerged from the lake, the entire surface was covered by fog. With visibility being very low, one could only see a few small boats floating by the shore.
“Mr. Chance, look.”
Just as Liam spoke, he threw a rock into the middle of the lake.
Alongside the splashes that resulted, a few dark figures emerged from the water before quickly disappearing underneath the surface.
“Those are the poisonous creatures Fabian keeps. He obtained them from Mapleton. Also, I heard that he is somehow involved with the people there,” Liam continued.
“Regardless of who he is involved with, today is the day he dies!” Jared’s face was filled with conviction. “All of you, wait for me here. I’ll go over alone.”
With that, Jared leapt into the air and landed on one of the small boats. Suddenly, he noticed a group of people on the opposite shore. All of them had boarded their boats and began moving in Jared’s direction.
The moment he saw the person on the first boat, Liam exclaimed, “Fabian, it’s Fabian!”
After being under his control for so many years, Liam was inherently terrified of Fabian.
At that moment, Fabian too had noticed the presence of Jared and the four elders. He furrowed his brows in response.
“Aren’t the four of you supposed to be dead? What’s going on?” Fabian questioned indifferently as an icy glint flashed in his eyes.
As the four elders exchanged fearful glances, none of them dared to utter a word.
When he saw what was going on, Jared looked at Fabian. “Are you Fabian Quillen, the leader of the Crescent Sect?”
“That’s me. Who’s asking?” Fabian scrutinized Jared with a solemn expression.
“I’m Jared Chance!”
The moment Jared announced his name, Fabian’s body jerked. It was then followed by a sudden burst of boundless hostility rushing through him.
“So, you’re the one who killed my men!” After giving Jared a scowl, he shot the four elders an inquisitive look. “What’s going on with the four of you? The Crescent Sect’s enemy is standing right in front of you. Why are you just standing there instead of taking him down?”
Nevertheless, none of the elders dared to move a muscle, for they had seen for themselves how powerful Jared was. In fact, the four of them combined were still no match for him at all.
When Fabian realized that the elders weren’t carrying out his orders, he narrowed his gaze in response. “I didn’t expect my parasites to be eliminated. No wonder the four of them are disobeying me. In spite of that, this valley will still be your grave.”
“This valley will still be your grave…”
“This valley will still be your grave…”
Fabian’s resonant voice echoed throughout the entire valley.
Suddenly, the water in the lake began to gurgle, as if the water had begun to boil. The phenomenon struck so much fear into Tristan and the four elders that they retreated by reflex.
With a sparkle in his eye, Jared stared at Fabian. “It’s still too early to determine whose grave this place will be!”
The moment he finished, Jared leapt into the air and landed on a small boat. With a gentle wave of his palm, the boat sped in Fabian’s direction.
“Mr. Chance, be careful! You cannot fight on the lake with him,” Liam warned Jared at once.
“You traitors! I’ll tear all of you up, limb from limb.”
In a fit of rage, Fabian pushed his palms forward suddenly. The massive force formed a whirlpool in the water that turned into a giant wave sweeping in Jared’s direction. At the same time, the poisonous creatures living in the lake were hurled into the air in the direction of Tristan and the four elders.
“Retreat!” Liam thundered the moment he sensed the impending danger.
The next second, all of them backed off as swiftly as they could.
In response to the attack, Jared leaped into the air and backpedaled at once. While he was doing so, he thrust his palms forward to push the wave back with an equally tremendous force.
