"I have nothing to talk about with you," Bexia frowned at Omo. To be honest, this guy was not very strong, but he was cunning and as sly as a fox. Bexia didn't believe he really wanted to have a genuine conversation.

Moreover, holding a weapon to someone else's neck, is that what he calls a conversation? It was clearly a threat.

"And you've got the wrong people to threaten me with. These people have nothing to do with me. Do you think I'm that stupid?" Bexia gave a look of disdain.

"Yeah! You're just stupid!" Omo chuckled. By this time, his subordinates had retrieved the scepter and handed it over to him. He looked at the two items in his hands and slowly brought them closer together. But they were already damaged, and putting them together had no effect.

"It's useless for you too. The more powerful something is, the harder it is to repair once it's damaged." Didn't Bexia know the function of the scepter?

He was the one who destroyed it. Not only did he knock out the core gem, but he also destroyed the connecting parts. How could they just be fitted together like that?

"So what? Are you really ready to fight me to the death? Besides, you can't get out either, right? Why don't we call a truce for now, figure out a way to escape, and talk later? Otherwise, we'll die here sooner or later." Omo's words made Bexia pause for a moment, because what he said was true. Even though he had the Thousand-Change Robe for protection, if they couldn't get out of here...

Earlier, Chrome mentioned that there was a teleportation array down here, and it was probably true because he didn't come down here to be buried with his lover. There must be an escape route. But now Chrome was dead, and no one knew where the teleportation array was... Wait, someone did know!

Bexia's gaze turned to the unconscious Elin. As the Elven Queen, she must know the way out.

Just as Bexia was about to take action to snatch Elin away, Omo had already noticed this and ordered his men to throw Elin beside him. At this moment, he revealed a smile of triumph.

"..." Bexia furrowed her brows. Previously, Omo had treated Elin's injuries, but she was now unconscious due to severe injuries and excessive blood loss. Being thrown like that only made the beautiful Elven Queen regain consciousness slightly.

"What do you think? Do you still want to fight now? I can just kill her. We can all be trapped here and die together." It seemed like he had caught Bexia by the throat.

Omo reverted back to his arrogant manner and roughy pulled Elin up from the ground, brandishing a dagger at her fair neck. With a little force, a bloodstain appeared, indicating that he could kill Elin at any moment.

Bexia frowned at Omo. She didn't have confidence that she could deal with Omo before he made a move. If Elin really died, it was possible that they would be trapped here with no way out, because the spatial passage they came from had long disappeared and there was no way to return.

"Have you made your decision!" Omo laughed even more happily when he saw Bexia hesitating.

"Fine, you win!" Bexia said helplessly. "We'll call a truce for now."

"You've made a wise choice!" Omo smiled and said, "Now you go at least a hundred meters away from me. Don't even think about using the invisible cloak to save anyone. If you dare to make any moves, I'll kill everyone."

"Hmph!" Bexia knew it was not a good choice to do as Omo said, but she had no other option. She wouldn't completely follow Omo's instructions.

"Do you think I'm a fool? What if you ask where the teleportation array is, and then leave us and run away?" Bexia's lips curled up, and she spoke again, "And it's not only us who are trapped here, aren't you trapped here too? If you kill her, you'll all die as well."

"I'll stay here, and you can ask her face to face. We can all know the way out, and at the same time, let's swear on our souls not to harm each other before we leave. How about that?"

"......" Omo frowned for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's all compromise. Everyone here swears not to harm each other before leaving Dark Border, and we also promise not to speak about what happened here. How about that?"

"Oh!" Bexia's expression changed slightly when she heard these requests. Omo was actually backing down. As long as they all made the oath, how could they confront him after he left? Wouldn't he be free to do as he pleased then?

"Alright!" Bexia nodded. She didn't really care about the Life Source Scepter. Although it was a treasure, it was at most a Sovereign-class item, and she had similar treasures herself.

Besides, it was clear that this thing couldn't be easily controlled by ordinary people, otherwise Omo wouldn't be negotiating like this.

"xxxx..." The faint sound of an incantation suddenly rang out. Eileen, who was being dragged by her hair, moved her lips slightly. The complex spell made Omo feel a sense of unease, after all, she was once the Elf Queen who ruled over the elves, and her threat was the greatest.

"It's too late, boom!" Omo tried to stop it, but it was already too late. The Life Source Core in his left hand erupted with intense fluctuations. Before he could throw it away, it had already exploded.

"Boom!" The noisy shockwave sent Bexia flying out. Fortunately, she protected Lulumon and had the Thousand-Change Robe to shield her. However, she was still in a sorry state.

At the same time, the cave became terrifying under this attack. Countless stalactites fell, and who knows how many coffins were destroyed, with scattered bones everywhere.

The tremors of the cave continued for several minutes before gradually subsiding. The explosion center now only left behind a large pit. The person and the sprite who were just standing here had completely disappeared. The other people who were further away also suffered severely.

Members of the Bloodwolf Adventure Group were proven to be affected, and not a single intact corpse was seen. On the other hand, the members of the Starmoon Adventure Group were still alive. Among them, Star was holding her sister, Moon, hiding under a shield, with surging lightning around them. Blue was hiding in it and was fine. The only unfortunate one was Mingkong, whose leg was crushed by a huge stalactite.

"Are you alright?" Bexia asked Lulumon, who she had protected under her.

"I'm fine, thank you, Bexia!" Lulumon patted her little chest, still in shock from the terrifying explosion.

"I really don't know what to say anymore. Are all elves crazy?" Bexia smirked. Eileen truly was insane, she actually self-destructed the core of the scepter, sending herself and Omo to their demise together. How deep was their grudge?

However, what Bexia didn't know was that even if they didn't die together, Eileen wouldn't have lived much longer. She had already died long ago. She was only able to maintain her current state thanks to the special power in the Life Source Scepter. If her body was still intact, a simple perception would reveal that her chest was empty, and her heart was not there at all.

Even though she is strong, she cannot survive without a heart.
