Chapter 624: Chapter 624: 624 Heading to Capital City.

There were still countless inner cores under this island, and the Capital City Martial Arts Association naturally wouldn’t let them slip away.

They would send people every day to retrieve inner cores and bring them back to the Capital City Martial Arts Association.

“So, Ethan Smith died here, right?” someone pointed at the gate of the Immortal Slaying Sect and said.

“Yeah, it’s said that Mr. Richards slapped him back with one palm.”

“Deserved it. He gave us so much trouble.”

Hearing the sarcastic remarks of the few people, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but sneer repeatedly.

“Leave all the inner cores,” Ethan Smith’s voice came from behind these people.

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly turned around and looked.

Looking at the scruffy-faced young man in front of them, they couldn’t help but sneer, “Who are you? Who let you come here? How dare you talk to us like that?”

Ethan Smith’s eyes were slightly closed, and he coldly said, “Give me all the inner cores you’ve taken.”

“Are you looking for death?” Clearly, these people were angered by Ethan Smith.

They strode forward, as they exchanged energy between them.

“Ignorant of life and death,” Ethan Smith opened his eyes slightly. In the next second, he waved his hand and directly shattered one person’s head!

Upon seeing this, the others’ faces changed dramatically!

“Who… who are you?” someone asked in surprise.

Ethan Smith grinned and said, “I’m Ethan Smith. Unfortunately, I didn’t die.”

Hearing this name, everyone’s faces turned extremely pale in an instant!

Someone even hurriedly said, “Mr. Smith, we were just following orders. Please spare our lives!”

Ethan Smith shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, but I don’t want the Capital City Martial Arts Association to know I’m still alive for now, so… you all can just die!”

Before the words fell, Ethan Smith took a step forward, and a terrifying Qi Jin directly crushed these people into pulp!

After killing these people, Ethan Smith took out all the inner cores from their bodies and put them into his pocket.

Then, Ethan Smith and the man with the mustache moved forward together, beginning to collect the inner cores under the sea island.

It wasn’t until the Spatial Magic Artifact was full that the two of them planned to leave.

Ethan Smith took a hat from one of the people and put it on his head to avoid any complications.

“Let’s go,” Ethan Smith looked at the man with the mustache.

The two of them returned to the sea island.

“Where are you going next?” Ethan Smith looked at the man with the mustache and asked.

The man with the mustache muttered, “I plan to go to Capital City. I heard there’s going to be an auction there.”

“Auction?” Ethan Smith frowned, then asked, “What kind of auction?”

The man with the mustache explained, “The Capital City Martial Arts Association sells a batch of Dharma Treasures to the outside world every few years.”

“Though they call them treasures, in reality, they are just eliminations from the Capital City Martial Arts Association.”

“If they’re elimination products, is there a need to go?” Ethan Smith asked doubtfully.

The man with the mustache stared and said, “Of course there is! Their eliminated products may still be useful in my hands.”

“Moreover… every year, people pick up leaks from this auction.”

Ethan Smith asked solemnly, “When?”

The man with the mustache counted on his fingers and said, “In about a week.”

Ethan Smith was silent for a moment and then said, “I also just happened to be planning to go to Capital City. Let’s meet up in Capital City then.”

Ethan Smith just happened to be planning to go to Capital City to investigate the Capital City Martial Arts Association’s background secretly.

Ethan Smith was not very clear about the strength of the Capital City Martial Arts Association.

Moreover, Ethan Smith’s identity was too sensitive before, which meant that he didn’t have the chance to investigate the Capital City Martial Arts Association.

After parting with the man with the mustache, Ethan Smith planned to return to the Green Moon Villa for the time being.

Having disappeared for four or five months, he knew nothing about what had happened in the outside world.

After leaving this place, Ethan Smith headed to Cango City.

By evening, as he wished, Ethan Smith arrived at the entrance of Green Moon Villa.

However, the first thing that caught his eye was the plaque of the Great Saint Sect.

Seeing this scene, Ethan Smith’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“Toby Bacchus?” Ethan Smith muttered under his breath, as if guessing something.

He didn’t continue to think about it and strode into Green Moon Villa.

Nowadays, Green Moon Villa was even more prosperous than the Great Saint Sect, boasting nearly a thousand disciples!

At a glance, it was a grand spectacle.

Ethan Smith casually stopped someone and asked, “Where’s Patriarch Reeves?”

“What Patriarch Reeves? Are you new here? There’s only Patriarch Bacchus here, no Patriarch Reeves!”

Ethan Smith’s eyebrows twitched.

As expected, Toby Bacchus must have switched sides.

Ethan Smith didn’t say more. He released his divine sense and quickly located Polly Reeves’s position.

Polly Reeves was now under house arrest in her own room. Although her daily

necessities were taken care of, she was mostly restricted in her movements.

With a flash, Ethan Smith walked straight in.

Upon entering, he saw Polly Reeves sitting at the table, getting drunk and collapsing on the table.

Ethan Smith frowned slightly, walked up to Polly Reeves and whispered, “Polly, wake up.”

Polly Reeves opened her eyes groggily, saw Ethan Smith in front of her, weakly waved her hand and said, “Damn, I’m dreaming again.”

Having said that, she fell asleep again.

Ethan Smith couldn’t help but laugh and cry, feeling helpless. He had no choice but to raise his palm, place it on Polly Reeves’s forehead, and use his qi to forcefully sober her up.

In an instant, Polly woke up with a dazed expression.

She rubbed her eyes and exclaimed, “Ethan Smith, you… ”

“Shh.” Ethan Smith quickly covered her mouth, then whispered, “Don’t yell.”

Polly Reeves nodded vigorously, and Ethan Smith let go of her.

“Mr. Smith, you… you’re not dead?” Polly Reeves was both shocked and excited.

Ethan Smith nodded, then asked, “What’s going on now? How did Green Moon Villa become the Great Saint Sect?”

Polly opened her mouth and sighed.

She recounted everything that had happened to Ethan Smith.

Through their conversation, it turned out that the Capital City Martial Arts Association now governed all the sects in the north, big and small.

And those in charge were the three experts they had trained.

“During your disappearance, many young masters in Capital City have stepped into the mid-term Military Marquis, and Martial Arts Association has created a martial arts peak. You… you should be more careful,” Polly Reeves said with a worried face.

Ethan Smith’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn’t show too much surprise.

“Polly, I’m afraid you’ll have to put up with it for a while longer,” Ethan Smith looked at Polly Reeves and said.

Polly Reeves looked puzzled and asked, “What are you going to do?”

Ethan Smith said coldly, “Once I get a clear idea of Capital City Martial Arts Association’s background, I will take back Green Moon Villa.”

Having said this, Ethan Smith immediately left Green Moon Villa and headed straight to Capital City.

The night was thick.

Emerson Holmes staggered home.

As vice president, his main responsibility was to establish good relations with various aristocratic families. So he was almost always drunk every day, and today was no exception.

Emberson Holmes returned home, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw a young man sitting on the sofa, looking at him coldly.

Seeing the young man in front of him, Emerson Holmes immediately sobered up considerably.
