Chapter 2465


    No one was surprised by this result.


    After all, from Nestor to Lame, and even Janus, Green Wood Hall had obviously shown great support for Fade.


    Janus smiled. He stood up from his seat and walked towards Fade.


    The other chiefs did not say much and left.


    After they left, the rest of the people in the hall followed suit.


    Lucio hid in the crowd, trying to stay hidden and slip away.


    However, just as he was about to walk out of the lobby, a cold voice rang out, "Mr. Lou, where are you going?"


    Lucio turned his head and saw Fade walking towards him with a stern expression.


    "I-I..." He wanted to speak, but there was nothing to say.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    He could only turn to Abrd, the judge, for help.


    However, Abrd looked at Fade, Camelia, and Janus behind him. Finally, he turned and left without saying a word.


    After all, Veda had already left without any mention of Lucio. Obviously, he no longer intended to protect him.


    Although Abrd was Lucio''s rtive, there was no way he would sacrifice himself just to protect him.


    Seeing Abrd leave, Lucio''s eyes were filled with despair. He knelt down in front of Fade and actually began to kowtow and beg for mercy. "Fade, I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I beg you..."


    "If I was the one kneeling in front of you, would you have spared me?" Fade asked coldly.


    Lucio was flustered and was about to speak.


    However, just then, Fade pped his palms together and a burst of energy burst out, piercing Lucio in his dantian abdomen.


    With a scream, Lucio fell to the ground with pain all over his face.


    His dantian abdomen had been ruptured. That meant that the work that he had devoted to his martial arts had gone to waste.


    In a ce like the inner ind, an ordinary person with no cultivation to their martial arts was at the bottom of the barrel.


    The tragic fate of Lucio''s future was imminent.


    As for Fade, he returned to Janus'' side.


    Janus looked at him and said, "Everything is settled. Follow me!"


    "Many thanks, chief!" Fade cupped his hands in thanks.


    A momentter, he arrived at Green Wood Hall.


    Green Wood Hall, just like its name, was built among many trees. The entire building was made of wood. Upon entering, Fade felt as if he had just walked into a forest. The air was significantly fresher.


    However, he had no time to admire the amazing architecture.


    Janus brought him to a room and said, "From now on, you are one of us."


    "I''m very grateful!" Fade expressed his gratitude once more.


    "Alright, there''s no need for any more of these formalities. You must have a lot of questions that you want to ask. Go ahead!" Janus stated.


    Fade''s eyes lit up as he asked, "Can you tell me more about what it means to be a special envoy? Also, what is the Ice- sealed Realm that you mentioned about?"


    Janus nodded, "Straight to the chase, I see."


    "How much do you know about the inner ind?"


    Fade said, "I don''t know much. I only know that it is a paradise for martial artists and it exists for them to pursue the peak of martial arts."


    "Do you believe that?" Janus smiled.


    Fade smiled back and said, "Previously, I asked Mr. Moo about the reason why so many talented martial artists were chosen by the inner ind. He told me that the only reason was to reach the pinnacle of martial arts."


    "I hope I can hear your view on this!"


    When Janus heard this, he smiled. "Nestor might have been exaggerating it slightly."


    "You have explored the Prohibition Tree and entered its core. You should have discovered that the entire ind is covered by the tree."


    "It can be said that the inner ind, to some extent, is a prison. Everyone on it is trapped here."


    "Our purpose in recruiting so many talented warriors is to escape from this prison."


    Hearing this, even though Fade had vaguely guessed this theory before, he was still a bit surprised when he heard Janus say it out loud.


    "Is the escape somehow rted to the Ice-sealed Realm?" Fade asked.


    At this moment, Janus'' expression turned solemn. He nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "It is indeed rted."


    "In the Ice-sealed Realm, there are


    things that can help us inner


    inders escape. That is why we''ve been recruiting so many martial artists. We want to train them to be able to enter and find what we are looking for. The end goal is for all of us to get out of this prison."


    Hearing this, Fade could not help but ask, "What is the thing you are searching for? And where is the Ice- sealed Realm? I''ve never heard of it before."


    Janus replied, "It''s too early to talk about this with you now. Your strength is good and your potential is also very high. However, it''s not enough for you to enter the realm just yet."


    "Inside the realm, there are all sorts of treasures. Naturally, it is also very dangerous. Only main deacons have the skills required to enter and survive."


    "Even if it is a Lord Level expert, he or she might not be guaranteed safety in the Ice-sealed Realm."


    This time, Fade was shocked. He muttered to himself, "Main deacons have a martial essence of at least 5,000 streaks. I can''t believe that even Lord Level experts aren''t safe. What kind of ce is the Ice- sealed Realm? It sounds so dangerous."


    "Alright, that''s enough for today. I''m sure you must be tired. Take a break and change your clothes! Tomorrow, I will ask Lame to take you around Green Wood Hall and the inner ind," Janus instructed.


    To be honest, Fade still had a lot of questions in his heart. However, it was obvious that Janus had ended the conversation, so he thanked him, and then left.


    However, there was a particr question he had that made him feel odd.


    Fade also felt this when Janus


    called the inner ind their prison. For martial artists like Fade to enter the inner ind, although it was hard, it wasn''t because of the Prohibition Tree. It was tough


    because of all the rules and restrictions of the inner ind.


    el.n


    Therefore, as long as he and the others were strong enough and weren''t met with resistance, they could easily go in and out of the ind.


    Moreover, the inner ind natives


    were much stronger than outsiders.


    No one was stopping them from leaving. Hence, why couldn''t they leave freely? Why were they trapped in this prison? Why did they need to go through the Ice-sealed Realm to look for a way to escape?


    They were all martial artists. Hence, why were they so different? Did the Prohibition Tree somehow know how to segregate between native inders and outsiders?


    This doubt in his mind made Fade keep his guard up against Janus. He still hadn''t trusted himpletely.


    However, none of these questions could be answered right then. Hence, he threw them to the back of his mind and left.
