Chapter 684: Chapter 684: 684: Resurrection of the Male Corpse!

Ethan Smith wasn’t a fool, and he could obviously see the man with the mustache’s unusual behavior.

“Come on, tell me, what do you know and what do you want to do?” Ethan Smith pulled the man with the mustache aside, his tone full of hostility.

The man with the mustache fell silent, a rare moment of seriousness from him.

“That girl… What’s your relationship with her?” After a while, the man with the mustache pointed in Clare Richardson’s direction.

Ethan Smith said, “You could say she’s a younger sister of mine. What’s the matter?”

The man with the mustache sighed softly and continued, “I won’t lie to you. In all my years of traveling around, I’ve seen a portrait of the masked woman, and the woman in that portrait…looks strikingly similar to your sister.”

Ethan Smith couldn’t help but ponder, “It seems there really is a connection between her and the masked woman.”

Then, Ethan Smith looked at the man with the mustache and said, “What exactly do you know?”

The man with the mustache spoke solemnly, “You should know that this masked woman is not from this era. Even with her extraordinary cultivation skills, she should have turned into dust by now.”

“But… I now suspect that the masked woman may be reincarnating through some method.”

“And your sister, she might be one of her reincarnations!”

Ethan Smith’s face changed slightly.

Just as the man with the mustache said, even the most powerful cultivators at the Tribulation Stage cannot avoid death.

This is the law of nature, from which no one can escape.

If what the man with the mustache said was true, that the masked woman was continuously reincarnating, it would indeed be a terrifying thing.

“Ethan Smith, you said the mask is in her possession, right?” The man with the mustache asked.

Ethan Smith nodded and said, “Yes.”

Hearing this, the man with the mustache immediately said, “You’d better find a way to prevent her from awakening any memories! Otherwise, it will definitely lead to chaos and disaster!”

Ethan Smith rolled his eyes, “Aren’t you exaggerating a bit too much? I know Clare very well. She may be mischievous, but she’s kind-hearted. How could she possibly be related to chaos and disaster…”

The man with the mustache said anxiously, “That’s because you don’t understand! Let me tell you, according to the information I have, this masked woman is an merciless demon who doesn’t hesitate to kill!”

“As far as I know, she wouldn’t care about her own friends and family! The kindness now is nothing but a facade!”

Ethan Smith scratched his head, “Is it really as terrifying as you say?”

The man with the mustache pondered, “Absolutely! If possible, we should kill her in advance!”

“Impossible!” Ethan Smith immediately rejected the man with the mustache’s proposal.

“And I’m warning you, you’d better not think about hurting her.” Ethan Smith said coldly.

The man with the mustache sighed softly, “Ethan Smith, maybe you think she has a great relationship with you now, but in the future…once she fully transforms, she’ll become someone else!”

“By that time, nobody will be able to suppress her, and who knows how many people will suffer persecution!”

Ethan Smith glanced at the serious-looking man with the mustache, then looked at Clare Richardson in the distance.

“Do you really want to watch so many innocent people die at her hands?” The man with the mustache said, exasperated.

Ethan Smith still didn’t say anything.

What the man with the mustache said certainly made sense, but killing Clare was simply impossible!

“I’ll make sure she’s safe.” Ethan Smith took a deep breath.

“Even if it’s true and one day she becomes a demon, I’ll suppress her with my own hands.”

The man with the mustache sighed, “I just hope you will have the ability to do so by that time.”

“Enough! Don’t bring this up again!” Ethan Smith pointed at the man with the mustache.

“And don’t let Clare find out about this, understand?”

The man with the mustache was helpless against Ethan Smith, so he could only wave his hand and say, “Fine, fine, have it your way. I’m tired of meddling with this.”

Ethan Smith didn’t continue this topic. He took the mask out of the Spatial Magic Artifact and handed it to the man with the mustache.

“This is the mask you wanted. Let’s not waste any more time,” said Ethan Smith.

Upon receiving the mask, the man with the mustache had a very complicated expression.

He was both excited and somewhat terrified.

This terror baffled Ethan Smith, as even if the man with the mustache knew many stories about the masked woman, they were still just legends.

How could one feel genuine fear without experiencing it firsthand?

“It really is her mask….” The man with the mustache couldn’t help but lick his lips.

“You’d better not have any ideas about this mask…” Ethan Smith warned.

The man with the mustache waved his hand: “Don’t worry, I’ve already given up on that idea.”

Ever since he saw Clare Richardson, his thoughts had vanished like smoke.’

Even the man with the mustache didn’t know why.

“Then let’s get started,” Ethan Smith said.

“Hold on, the array platform still needs some repairs. If the power is too strong, it could easily destroy the array platform,” the man with the mustache said with a grin.

Ethan Smith glared at the man with the mustache and said, “What the hell were you doing earlier!”

The man with the mustache touched his nose and laughed sheepishly.

The array platform was not complete at all because the man with the mustache had never intended to help Ethan Smith in the first place.

All he’d done was to deceive Ethan Smith and steal the mask.

The man with mustache removed the suppression force from the array platform and took out several array flags.

“How long will it take?” Ethan Smith asked.

The man with the mustache held up his fingers and said, “Three hours.”

Ethan Smith nodded and said, “Then hurry up.”

As the man with the mustache held the mask and returned to the array platform, he unconsciously turned his head away when he passed Clare Richardson.

This made Clare feel quite baffled.

She pointed to her nose and whispered, “Am I ugly?”

“Of course not,” Ethan Smith said helplessly.

“He’s a fool, you don’t need to mind him.”

Clare gave an ‘oh’ sound. She seemed a little sleepy and leaned on Ethan Smith’s shoulder, quickly falling asleep.

Seeing the fragile girl in front of him, Ethan Smith couldn’t connect her to the masked woman the man with the mustache talked about.

Time flew by, and the three hours passed quickly.

The man with the mustache patched up the array platform, making it look more complete and sturdy.

He placed magical artifacts with special qualities around the array platform to stabilize it, preventing it from being destroyed by strong forces.

“Alright, get those two corpses out now,” the man with the mustache said.

Ethan Smith grunted in agreement, settled Clare Richardson, and then took out the corpses and placed them at the center of the array platform.

The man with the mustache held a palm-sized golden bowl and said, “Now we need a drop of your blood essence to control the two corpses.”

Without wasting any time, Ethan Smith squeezed out a drop of his blood essence into the small bowl.

The man with the mustache walked to the center of the array platform, slowly raised his palm, and started reciting a technique silently.

Soon, a few large characters appeared out of thin air on the array platform!

Strange forces flowed from all directions, reaching the two corpses!

Ethan Smith stood silently by, waiting quietly.

At this moment, his expression changed slightly.

He suddenly felt that two terrifying auras were approaching from the distance!

“Peak Form of Military Marquis!”

Feeling this aura, Ethan Smith’s face couldn’t help but change slightly!
