The man with the mustache sneered coldly, âEthan Smith, think carefully. If she really awakens the memories of the masked woman, it will be beyond our control.â
Those words left Ethan Smith deep in thought.
The cautious demeanor of the mustached man couldnât help but make one worry.
Ethan stood there for a long time without speaking.
His face carried an expression of struggle.
The man with the mustache didnât rush, he stood by and quietly waited.
A few minutes later, Ethan turned to face the man with the mustache.
âEven if we donât take her, she will still awaken those memories anyway, right?â Ethan asked.
The man with the mustache nodded, âYes.â
âThen letâs go,â Ethan took a deep breath.
âAt least Clare is still within our control right now.â
âBesides, she may not be as terrible as you imagine.â
The man with the mustache seemed to have guessed Ethanâs decision long ago.
He sneered, âEthan, let me tell you a story about the masked woman.â
Ethan nodded, gesturing for the mustached man to speak.
The mustached man said, âAccording to the information I know, the masked woman is not reincarnated for the first time. She is reincarnated once every two thousand years or so.â
Ethan uttered a sound of agreement, waiting for the mustached man to continue.
The mustached man continued, âEvery time she reincarnates, she must come to this world through the womb.â
âAnd her own parents from her last reincarnation died by her hands, as did everyone related to her, including relatives, friends, and even lovers.â
Ethanâs face changed slightly, he frowned and asked, âWhy would she kill her own parents? And why would she kill her friends?â
The mustached man sneered, âLet me give you an example. You are Clareâs friend, even her brother, but you are not the friend of the masked woman.â
âFor the masked woman, you are just a stranger.â
âThe same goes for her parents.â
After hearing the mustached manâs words, Ethan couldnât help but recall the death of William Richardson last time.
At that time, Clare seemed to have awakened the identity of the masked woman. Her icy eyes indeed sent chills down oneâs spine.
More importantly, Clare didnât seem to have any emotional reaction to Williamâs death.
It was as if the person who died was not her father but an unrelated passerby.
âDo you still plan to take her to the Immortal Slaying Sect?â The mustached man asked.
These words undoubtedly caused Ethan some concern.
If things were really as the mustached man said, Clare awakening some of her memories would be a troublesome matter.
âLetâs go.â After weighing the pros and cons, Ethan eventually decided to take Clare to the Immortal Slaying Sect.
âEven if she truly awakens her memories now, she will not be my match. If there are any accidents, I will subdue her.â
âAnd besides, she is only a Marquis now. Even if she awakens, whatâs the big deal? At most, there will be one more genius among her peers in the world.â
Knowing he couldnât persuade Ethan, the mustached man refrained from saying more, just nodded, âAlright.â
So, Ethan and the mustached man went back into the room.
They took Clare with them, and left the Green Moon Villa.
â¦
After nearly a day of turbulence, the trio of Ethan, Clare, and the mustached man arrived at the island where the Immortal Slaying Sect was located.
âEthan, you better think it through,â the mustached man warned again before entering the seabed.
Ethan nodded, âIâve made up my mind.â
Seeing this, the mustached man said nothing more, and the three of them swam down towards the island.
The Immortal Slaying Sect was still submerged here, and the inner core beneath the island had already diminished a lot.
Clearly, those cores had been taken back by the members of the Capital City Martial Arts Association.
âClare, do you remember this place?â Ethan pointed at the gate of the Immortal Slaying Sect and asked.
Clare shook her head, looking puzzled, âWhere is this?â
Ethan waved his hand and laughed, âA sect.â
After speaking, Ethan looked at the mustached man.
The mustached man took out a simple space teleportation array platform from his Spatial Magic Artifact.
On the platform, there were densely packed flags. The mustached man stood on the platform, his lips parting slightly, he muttered softly, as if reciting a chant.
A few minutes later, bubbles suddenly emerged around the platform! The seabed seemed to be boiling!
âHum!â
Accompanied by a mysterious light, a round space teleportation portal appeared in front of the trio.
âLetâs go,â the mustached man said.
Ethan nodded, holding Clareâs hand and whispered, âStay close to me.â
Clare responded with a sound of agreement and followed Ethan into the teleportation portal.
Since the teleportation platform was right next to the Immortal Slaying Sect, they spent a very short time getting inside the sect.
âWhat kind of technique is this, itâs amazing,â Clare said with puzzlement.
The mustached man quickly replied with a grin, âThis is a teleportation array platform specially created by The Master, isnât it impressive?â
Clare gave the mustached man a thumbs up, âVery impressive.â
âYou have to remember that, remember my face and donât kill me in the future,â the mustached man mumbled.
This left Clare even more baffled, she rolled her eyes, âWhy would I kill you?â
âLet it go, heâs a fool, donât mind him,â Ethan waved his hand.
âLetâs go, Iâll take you somewhere.â
Ethan led Clare to the tomb.
The mustached man followed behind them but kept a great distance, quite alert.
After about ten minutes, the trio arrived at the entrance of the tomb once again.
Since Ethan had taken away the coffin, the dark energy within the tomb seemed to dissipate gradually.
Although there was still a slight chill, it was negligible compared to the previous coldness.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThis is it,â Ethan pointed at the tomb.
As he spoke, Ethan looked at Clare and sneakily observed her expression.
Unfortunately, there was no special expression on Clareâs face, only bewilderment.
âCome on, letâs go in and take a look,â Ethan said.
âYou go in, Iâll wait for you guys here,â the mustached man mumbled.
Ethan didnât bother with the mustached man, holding Clareâs hand and heading into the tomb.
As the two stepped into the tomb, a sudden burst of cold wind emerged from the underground!
That bone-chilling cold swept over them once again!
Ethanâs brow furrowed slightly, he hurriedly looked at Clare.
And he saw the cold wind rising from the ground, closing in on Clare!
In a moment, the gusts of cold wind actually attached themselves to Clareâs body, forming a tornado-like whirlwind around her!
âClare?â Ethan suddenly became worried and tried calling out to her.
But Clare didnât pay any attention to Ethan. In the darkness, her expression was completely hidden.
