Chapter 707: Chapter 706: Halcroen Sect’s Conditions_1

The moment they stepped into the Mystic Realm, the surrounding environment changed drastically.

As the group simultaneously stepped in, the entrance immediately began to close.

Ethan Smith glanced around and realized that the so-called Mystic Realm didn’t look much different from the outside world.

However, the qi within this realm was indeed more abundant.

In addition, Ethan could sense an ancient, quaint aura in this realm.

Clearly, the Mystic Realm had existed for many years.

“Mr. Smith, how do you find it?” Rex Osborne asked with a smile.

Ethan gave a slight nod and replied, “It’s not quite what I imagined.”

“Let me show you around.” Rex offered.

Then, Rex led the way, strolling through the Mystic Realm.

Though the realm wasn’t large, its space was quite stable, and there were hardly any signs of collapse.

Inside the realm, in addition to the pure qi left over from many years ago, there was a slight hint of a peculiar aura.

This aura felt similar to that of the Three Pure Ancient Tree.

Under the great environment of qi, the entire Mystic Realm was extraordinarily beautiful.

With picturesque mountains and clear waters, one couldn’t help but long for such a setting.

“The Halcroen Sect has some real experts to be able to create a realm like this.” Ethan sincerely admired.

Creating one’s own space was a remarkable feat!

“Mr. Smith, you’re giving us too much credit.” Rex shook his head.

He laughed, “We couldn’t create a realm like this. It was left behind by our predecessors.”

Ethan thought about it and agreed.

Such a stable space would probably require the intervention of a mighty realm cultivator.

If the Halcroen Sect had a mighty realm cultivator, they wouldn’t need to fear the authorities.

After a lap around the realm, Rex brought Ethan to a villa.

“Mr. Smith, you can stay here for the time being.” Rex suggested.

Ethan shook his head, “No need, I have other matters to attend to. I won’t stay here for long. I’ll leave today. Let’s discuss the important matters instead.”

Rex was surprised, “Leaving so soon? Well, alright, Mr. Smith, let’s head this way.”

They approached a Great Hall.

Inside the hall, more than ten people sat solemnly.

These ten individuals appeared to have ill intentions, carrying a faint murderous spirit about them.

“You must be Ethan Smith?” A man stood up at that moment.

Ethan looked at him, neither humble nor arrogant, and replied, “Yes, and what about it?”

“Do you know who I am?” the man continued.

Ethan couldn’t help but chuckle, “Does it matter who you are to me?”

“Hahaha!” The man burst into laughter.

“You’ve certainly made some big waves using my name.” As he spoke, a long sword appeared in the man’s hand with a shake.

“Using your name?” Ethan furrowed his brows.

Looking at the man’s attire, Ethan seemed to guess something.

“Are you Perry Elliott?” Ethan tentatively asked.

“Correct!” The man jabbed his long sword into the ground and said coldly, “I am Perry Elliott. You impersonated me, committed misdeeds, shouldn’t you apologize to me?”

Ethan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Something seemed odd about this Perry Elliott.

As far as Ethan knew, Perry Elliott and the Capital City Martial Arts Association had always been at odds.

Normally, if someone used his name to punish his enemies, Perry Elliott should be pleased, or at least, not infuriated.

Perry Elliott stared coldly at Ethan, “What, didn’t you understand what I said!”

“I never said I was Perry Elliott, and besides, I don’t even know you.” Ethan calmly replied.

Perry’s long sword trembled, and he coldly said, “Fine! I heard your swordsmanship is not weak. Let me see for myself!”

His words barely faded away when Perry, wielding his sharp sword, aimed directly at Ethan’s brow!

The sharp and sinister sword light fiercely pierced towards Ethan’s brow!

Ethan’s face changed, and he immediately unleashed the Shrinking Ground Into An Inch technique, retreating at lightning speed.

The sword light missed, slamming into the ground.

The ground instantly showed a long mark, followed by the whole surface cracking open!

Seeing this scene, the expression on Ethan’s face turned cold.

“You want to kill me?” Ethan looked coldly at Perry Elliott.

With a cold snort, Perry replied, “So what if I do, and so what if I don’t?”

Ethan remained silent as he scanned the room.

It seemed that everyone from the Halcroen Sect held hostility towards him.

“Mr. Elliott, Mr. Smith is our guest. You should…” Clarissa Johnson hurriedly tried to mediate.

Rex also laughed and said, “Ethan, you’ve indeed caused great losses for the Halcroen Sect. They are understandably unhappy. I hope you can understand.”

Ethan’s face was icy, and he didn’t utter a word.

Rex quickly continued, “Please, take a seat.”

Ethan randomly picked a spot and sat down. Then, looking at Rex, he said, “Let’s talk about the real issue.”

Rex nodded and said, “Our Halcroen Sect has always admired talent. As long as you have the strength, we are willing to provide support.”

“Mr. Smith, if you agree to join our Halcroen Sect, I believe the Halcroen Sect will fulfill all your requirements.”

Ethan shook his head, “Joining the Halcroen Sect is impossible. Everyone knows that the Halcroen Sect is on the authorities’ blacklist. If I join, I’m afraid I’ll have to go on the run.”

“That’s true.” Rex wasn’t surprised.

He smiled faintly, “What if we, the Halcroen Sect, could help you rescue Emily Taylor?”

“Rescue Emily?” Ethan’s brows raised, and his expression became somewhat unnatural.

Rex nodded, “Yes, I think you would be tempted by this condition.”

Ethan frowned even tighter.

As Rex mentioned, Ethan was indeed tempted.

Everything he had done was for the sake of rescuing Emily.

If the Halcroen Sect could genuinely save Emily, Ethan would have no reason to refuse.

After a moment of silence, Ethan took a deep breath and shook his head, “I don’t believe you have the ability to rescue Emily.”

“Hahaha!” Rex burst into laughter upon hearing this.

He stood up and said, “Indeed, we can’t rescue her by ourselves. But if we’re willing to cooperate, we can definitely save her!”

“Cooperate?” Ethan was somewhat puzzled.

“How do we cooperate?”

Rex smiled and said, “The only way to rescue Emily is to enter the Mystic Realm of the Capital City Martial Arts Association. As long as we enter the realm, we can naturally bring her out.”

“Mr. Smith, all you need to do is find the location of the Mystic Realm. When the time comes, we’ll send people to help you open it and take her away. What do you say?”

Rex’s words indeed stirred Ethan’s interest.

Staring at Rex, Ethan furrowed his brow, “Is this true?”

“Absolutely. As long as you find the location of the Mystic Realm, we can bring her back.” Rex took a sip of tea and said lightly.
