Seeing the man with the mustacheâs greedy expression, Ethan Smith also felt a little tempted for a moment.
More than one person has said that the Immortal Slaying Sect was the number one sect back in the day. If he could obtain a chance here, it could definitely change his life.
âLetâs hurry up and set off. Donât waste any more time,â Ethan Smith urged, worried about the outside world.
The man with the mustache rolled his eyes and said, âWhatâs the rush? I need to prepare. This is the Immortal Slaying Sect. If we touch something we shouldnât, we could be stuck here.â
After that, the man with the mustache took out several magical artifacts from his pocket.
These artifacts were all peculiar, with pestles, bowls, and a dense array of characters.
Ethan Smith couldnât help but ask curiously, âWhat are these?â
The man with the mustache replied, âThese are obtained from Western Buddhism. They possess the purest power of faith and can be used for protection.â
Ethan Smith nodded and didnât inquire further.
Being extremely exhausted, he decided to take this opportunity to rest.
â¦
Outside world.
It seemed that everyone had already grown used to the news of Ethan Smithâs death.
There were very few people who still held out hope, as Ethan Smith hadnât appeared for an entire month.
Inside Green Moon Villa.
A white-haired young man was sitting by a Spiritual Spring, absorbing the qi from it.
This young man was none other than Edward Green.
Ever since learning about Ethan Smithâs death, Edward Greenâs playful demeanor had vanished completely, only to be replaced by a determined, hardworking young man.
Sofia Carrillo chose to return to the Divine Alchemist Pavilion. She had originally left because of Ethan Smith.
Now that Ethan Smith was no longer around, there was nothing for her to pine over.
âWho allowed you to cultivate here?â
At this moment, two people approached and pointed at Edward Green, shouting at him.
Edward Green opened his eyes. Anger flashed across his brow, but he ultimately held it back.
He then got up, turned around, and left the Spiritual Spring.
Walking to the Great Hall, he entered a boudoir.
The person living in this room was Polly Reeves.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Edward Green pushed open the door and entered the room.
Upon seeing Edward Green, Polly Reeves slowly stood up, her face somewhat unpleasant as she said, âEdward Greenâ¦â
Edward Green took a deep breath and said, âPatriarch Reeves, I plan to leave Green Moon Villa.â
A look of loss flashed across Polly Reevesâ face as she frowned, âWhyâ¦why?â
Edward Green said solemnly, âMr. Smith is no more, and Green Moon Villa has fallen into the hands of traitors. Itâs time for me to leave.â
Polly Reeves opened her mouth to speak, then sighed, âItâs dangerous for you to venture out alone. You donât have Ethan Smith to rely on anymore.â
Upon hearing this, a flicker of pain crossed Edward Greenâs face.
Then, he said solemnly, âItâs precisely because I relied too much on Mr. Smith this past year that I havenât made much progress.â
âIf I had been persistent in my cultivation, maybeâ¦maybe I couldâve helped Mr. Smith, or at least killed that Toby Bacchus!â
Polly Reevesâ lips quivered as if wanting to say something, but in the end, she only gave a silent nod.
âI wish you a smooth journey,â said Polly Reeves.
Edward Green hummed in acknowledgement, then turned around and left the place.
Although Polly Reeves was still the sect master of Green Moon Villa, she had long become a puppet.
Toby Bacchus had become the real master.
Toby Bacchus kept Polly Reeves around for only one reason: she still held a certain level of prestige within Green Moon Villa!
Even if Toby Bacchus wanted to seize control of Green Moon Villa, he had to slowly empty Polly Reeves of her power.
At the center of Green Moon Villa was a huge statue.
The statue, in the shape of Ethan Smith, looked powerful, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, wielded an air of arrogance and an unrivaled demeanor.Toby Bacchus looked up at the statue and sneered, âEthan Smith, I knew youâd die sooner or later, but I didnât expect it to be so soon.â
âOnce I completely take back the Great Saint Sect, your statue will disappear!â

Capital City Martial Arts Association.
In the past month, the Capital City Martial Arts Association has trained many experts, eight of whom have become newly-promoted Military Marquises!
Moreover, there are rumors that someone in the Capital City Martial Arts Association has reached the Peak Form of Military Marquis, second only to Martial Saint!
This achievement has brought the Capital City Martial Arts Association unprecedented success, and their prestige has been further deepened!
During this time, the elegantly dressed young men from various aristocratic families have also entered the realm of Military Marquis.
The most outstanding among them have even reached the mid-term Military Marquis stage.
Such as Dominic Taylor, Blaise Rhodes, and Brian Bradley.
With Ethan Smith dead, Capital City seemed to have quieted down, and everything was developing smoothly.
Since Ethan Smithâs death, the city has been much more peaceful,â said an old man on the rooftop of the Capital City Martial Arts Association, leaning back with his hands behind him.
âYeah, the emergence of this troublemaker made us really sweat,â said Davy Barnett behind the old man.
The old man glanced at Davy Barnett and said, âWe had Jackson Harris before and Ethan Smith after, I wonder who will be next.â
Davy Barnett sneered, âNo matter who it is, weâll crush them in the bud!â
âBesides, the strength of the Capital City Martial Arts Association has gotten even stronger now, not to mention the next Ethan Smith, even if Ethan Smith was still alive, he wouldnât cause us so much trouble as before.â
The old man remained silent, just nodding his head.
â¦
Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
Jackson Harris made a rare appearance in the Pavilion Master Building.
The two sat facing each other, sipping tea lightly.
âIn the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed,â Jackson Harris said with a slight sigh.
âYes,â the Pavilion Master nodded.
âThe time has passed so quickly, I guess all the people in Capital City must be very happy now,â continued the Pavilion Master.
Suddenly, Jackson Harris paused and asked, âMartha Evans, do you really think Ethan Smith is dead?â
Hearing this, the hand holding the tea in the Pavilion Master suddenly stopped midway.
She put down the tea and laughed, âWe both probably know the answer in our hearts.â
Jackson Harris couldnât help stroking his beard and laughing.
A moment later, Jackson Harris said in a deep tone, âThe Capital City Martial Arts Association has hated Ethan Smith profoundly, and his disappearance now is a good choice.â
âYes,â agreed the Pavilion Master.
âThe Capital City Martial Arts Association has reached their limit when it comes to tolerating him. I have no doubt they would have sent out the Martial Saint if Ethan Smith had continued on his path.â
âYeah,â sighed Jackson Harris.
He put down the teacup in his hand and said, âI hope Ethan Smith can understand the truth and continue to hide.â
âBy the way, have you seen Duane Taylor recently?â Jackson Harris suddenly asked.
The Pavilion Master shook her head and said, âSince the news of Ethan Smithâs death, Duane Taylor has disappeared like a ghost. I sent people to investigate, but they found nothing.â
âHe even cancelled the registration of his previous companies.â
Jackson Harrisâs brows furrowed slightly, as if worried.
However, the Pavilion Master smiled and said, âMr. Harris, donât think too much. Duane Taylor is much stronger than we imagined.â
Hearing this, Jackson Harris just nodded and didnât ask any more questions.

Inside the Immortal Slaying Sect.
The man with the mustache was carefully drawing some strange symbols on a piece of paper.
After a whole night, the mustache man finally finished.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and exclaimed excitedly, âWe can set off now!â
