Chapter 610: Chapter 610: Devouring the Inner Core_1

Ethan Smith tried every technique he knew, but he still couldn’t budge this ancient door.

This ancient door exuded an unassuming vibe, and it was unclear what it was made of, but its hardness was unparalleled, making even Black Gold Stone pale in comparison.

“Perhaps…there’s a hidden mechanism here to open this door?” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

He immediately released his divine sense and began an extensive search, hoping to find the mechanism controlling the door.

Unfortunately, he spent an entire day searching, but still couldn’t find any such mechanisms.

This couldn’t help but make Ethan Smith worry.

Would he be trapped here for the rest of his life?

“Forget it.” After pondering for a long time, Ethan Smith ultimately decided to retreat and cultivate, swallowing those inner cores.

If his strength was strong enough, perhaps he could break through this door.

Although nobody knew what level of strength could achieve this possibility, Ethan Smith had no other options at the moment.

The Immortal Slaying Sect’s territory was vast, occupying nearly the entire interior of the island.

In fact, not only Ethan Smith but also Jordan Richards and others hadn’t searched the territory of the Immortal Slaying Sect.

Therefore, nobody knew what treasures might still be hidden within the Immortal Slaying Sect.

“Bodies will rot, and flesh will decompose, but magical artifacts and weapons will definitely remain.” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

Normally, cultivators who had reached the Mighty Realm could preserve their bodies for many years after death.

However, the peculiarity of the Immortal Slaying Sect was that there were no bodies, and apart from the sect lord who still had some remains, almost everything else had turned into dry bones.

Ethan Smith didn’t think about it any further; he took out the inner cores and started devouring them to cultivate.

…

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

Throughout these ten days, discussions about Ethan Smith never ceased.

Ethan Smith’s friends and others all gathered at Green Moon Villa, waiting for his arrival.

However, after so long, with no news from Ethan Smith, they began to lose faith.

“Mr. Smith…is he really…dead…” Edward Green knelt on the ground, his face stained with tears.

Among these people, no one was more heartbroken than Edward Green.

He had known Ethan Smith the longest and had been through so much with him.

Now, as hope faded, the pain welled up in his heart.

At the bedside, Polly Reeves stared outside, whispering, “Mr. Smith…is he really never coming back…?”

…

Capital City Martial Arts Association.

Davy Barnett had not reported the news yet.

Although he believed that Ethan Smith could not escape from the Immortal Slaying Sect, there was still a lingering worry in his heart.

Ten days had passed now, and finally, Davy Barnett let out a sigh of relief.

“It seems that he is truly dead.” Davy Barnett said with a cold laugh.

He then turned and walked towards the meeting room in the depths of the building.

On the other hand, the Taylor family and Blair family were overjoyed.

“Hahaha, that Ethan Smith is finally done for!” Reilly Blair held up his glass, grinning.

Kylan Taylor casually swirled the red wine in his glass and said, “As I said before, he’s nothing special. Just a mere warrior. You all think too highly of him.”

“Mr. Taylor is absolutely right!” Reilly Blair quickly raised his glass in agreement.

Reilly gave a signal to Dexter Blair at this point.

Seeing Reilly’s signal, Dexter quickly held up his wine glass and said, “Uncle Taylor, about the marriage between Miss Taylor and me… ”

Kylan Taylor glanced at Dexter and scoffed, “Dexter, it’s not that I look down on you, but you lost face to Ethan Smith in front of everyone. Do you still have the nerve to propose to my family?”

Hearing this, Dexter’s face changed instantly.

He hurriedly said, “Uncle Taylor, give me another chance. I…I promise I won’t let you down!”

“Last time was just an accident; you have to believe in me. My abilities are definitely not inferior to Ethan Smith’s!”

Reilly, who was standing beside him, also grinned and said, “Mr. Taylor, since that Ethan Smith is dead now anyway, and martial arts doesn’t represent everything, right?”

Kylan Taylor waved his hand and said, “Let’s discuss this matter later.”

Dexter’s face looked somewhat ugly. He clenched his teeth but didn’t dare say another word.

In a suburban house, seven people were crowded into this not-so-large room.

They gathered around a burly man, their faces etched with concern.

“Frederick Cohen can’t just die like this, can he?” someone asked with furrowed brows.

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t Mr. Smith’s death be in vain?”

“It’s been ten days, and Frederick still shows no signs of waking up. This…”

The group’s brows furrowed in unison.

It would be hard for anyone to accept that Ethan Smith died to save Frederick, only for Frederick to die anyway.

At this moment, Frederick finally opened his eyes slightly.

He rubbed his forehead and slowly got up, asking, “Where am I?”

“You…you’re finally awake!” Seeing Frederick awake, everyone immediately gathered around him.

Frederick looked baffled and asked, “What…what happened?”

The others stared, sighed, and explained everything that had happened.

After hearing the story, Frederick suddenly sat up on the window sill.

“You’re saying that Ethan Smith was trapped in the Immortal Slaying Sect because he saved me?” Frederick’s eyes widened as if they were two copper bells.

The others nodded and said, “Yes.”

This brought unbearable pain to Frederick’s heart, and his bulky body trembled slightly.

“Ethan Smith…” Frederick clenched his teeth, glared at the north, and roared, “Ethan Smith, I will avenge you! I will kill Jordan Richards!”

His roaring voice echoed for a long time.

Everyone agreed, and they eventually decided to join Green Moon Villa!

Green Moon Villa was the fruit of Ethan Smith’s hard work, and they decided to guard Green Moon Villa well.

On the other side,

Dudley Lynch was heading to Green Moon Villa.

Currently, the feminine energy on him was even more apparent, making it hard to distinguish between male and female, even his voice had become somewhat high-pitched.

“As long as I devour enough people…I can be reborn! No, to be precise, we can coexist!” The hoarse voice echoed in Dudley Lynch’s mind.

He licked his lips and sneered, “So that’s the reason you agreed to Jordan Richards, huh?”

“Exactly…collaborating with Capital City Martial Arts Association makes it easier for us to kill!” The hoarse voice responded.

Dudley Lynch laughed coldly, “Jordan Richards wants to use me… little does he know that I am using him too!”

He was planning to go to Green Moon Villa and begin a killing spree!

Not only could he complete the mission assigned by Jordan Richards, but he could also improve his own cultivation!

Dudley Lynch’s ambitions were great, and he had long been fed up with the faces of the aristocratic families!

But unlike Ethan Smith, who strove for every person to have equal rights, Dudley wanted to be among those aristocratic families, lording over everyone else!
