Emerson Holmes pulled Ethan Smith aside and said coldly, âEthan Smith, I donât know who he is, but I canât trust him!â
âIf the Capital City Martial Arts Association finds out about our interactions, you know the consequences better than I do!â
Ethan Smith patted Emersonâs shoulder, smiled faintly, and said, âI said itâs fine, so it must be fine, donât worry.â
Although Emerson was unwilling, he had no choice but to go ahead with the plan.
âFortunately, Iâve already sent people away,â Emerson thought to himself.
Then, Emerson looked at Kenneth Minnx and said coldly, âFollow my orders after entering the Mystic Realm.â
Kenneth replied expressionlessly, âUnderstood.â
After uttering this sentence, Emerson led Ethan Smith and Kenneth Minnx towards the Capital City Martial Arts Association.
At night, the Capital City Martial Arts Association was extremely quiet.
Normally, there would be guards, but tonight there was nobody around.
It was obvious that Emerson had made preparations.
After passing through the lobby, Emerson stopped.
ââνGâ.ϲâ
âEthan Smith, I canât take you any further,â Emerson said.
Ethan Smith nodded and said, âOkay.â
Afterward, Emerson raised his palm and slapped the top of his head.
With this slap, Emerson fainted immediately.
âYouâre quite cautious,â Ethan Smith whispered, seeing the situation.
Then, Ethan Smith led Kenneth Minnx to continue forward.
The path was unobstructed, and the two quickly arrived at the entrance of the Mystic Realm.
Ethan Smith pointed and said, âThis is it.â
Kenneth slightly nodded. He stepped forward, raised his palm, and explored slowly as if searching for the location of the secret realm.
Soon, his palm stopped at a certain spot in mid-air.
Immediately, a burst of light flashed in the center of his hand.
Standing beside him, Ethan Smith asked, âI remember thereâs a Prime Secret Realm, which is like a door. To open it, you need something like a key or a password, right? How are you able to open it?â
Kenneth glanced at Ethan Smith and said, âDonât you know there are locksmiths?â
Ethan Smith scratched his chin and mumbled, âMakes sense.â
Kenneth ignored Ethan Smith and continued, the light in his hand becoming brighter and brighter.
Ethan Smithâs eyes were closely watching Kennethâs moves, trying to figure out what he could from his techniques.
At that moment, Kenneth reached out his hand, and a token emitting a green light appeared in his palm.
Kenneth took the jade token and slapped it towards the front!
For an instant, dazzling lights flashed in front of them!
The brilliant light immediately illuminated the dark night!
âHum!â
As the light lit up, a circular entrance appeared before them!
âItâs opened,â Kenneth said emotionlessly.
Ethan Smith glanced at Kenneth and said, âSo, opening this secret realm relies on the token in your hand, right?â
Kenneth frowned slightly and said, âIs it any of your business?â
Ethan Smith laughed and said, âI was just asking.â
âDonât waste time, hurry in and save her,â Kenneth said coldly.
Naturally, Ethan Smith wouldnât miss this opportunity. He lifted his foot and stepped boldly into the Mystic Realm!
âIâll wait for you outside,â Kenneth said coldly.
Ethan Smith had no time to care about Kenneth. He exerted all his strength, his whole body instantly disappearing into the Mystic Realm.
Soon, a completely different scene unfolded before Ethan Smith!
Rich qi rushed towards him!
The surrounding environment left Ethan Smith dumbfounded.
Although there were no skyscrapers here, there were green mountains and rivers!
Unlike the concrete jungle of the world outside, this place seemed to be a true natural paradise!
Not far away was a magnificent Jade Palace.
And the towering high mountains filled Ethanâs vision.
Compared to the Halcroen Sectâs Mystic Realm, this Second Secret Realm was countless times better.
It was like an entirely separate world, while the Halcroen Sectâs Mystic Realm seemed more like a secret base.
âCapital City Martial Arts Association really controls a lot of resources,â Ethan whispered.
Ethan tried to release his divine sense to search for Emily Taylorâs figure.
However, this place was simply too vast â trying to find a single person was akin to finding a needle in a haystack!
Ethanâs brows furrowed instantly.
âHow could I forget so easily?â Ethan frowned.@@novelbin@@
As he walked forward, he pondered on a strategy.
âForget it, Iâm already here, might as well explore the Second Secret Realm,â Ethan thought to himself.
Thus, Ethan set off, traversing the world of the Second Secret Realm with big strides.
He released his divine sense, searching for Emilyâs aura.
After traveling several miles, Ethan eventually saw signs of life.
He saw a young girl dancing gracefully beside a river in the distance.
âHuh? A Military Marquis?â
Ethan tried to sense the girlâs aura, only to discover that this ordinary-looking girl was actually a Military Marquis Realm cultivator!
âIt seems there are many hidden experts in this Secret Realm,â Ethan furrowed his brows.
He pondered for a moment, then swiftly approached the girl and covered her nose and mouth from behind.
An overwhelming force engulfed her.
The young girl tried to struggle but couldnât break free.
âStay still, I wonât hurt you. If you donât cooperate, Iâll take your life,â Ethanâs cold voice sounded in her ear.
The young girl desperately blinked her eyes, her gaze filled with panic.
Ethan slowly released her, and only after ensuring she wouldnât scream did he let go of her.
âDonât worry, I just have a few questions for you,â Ethan said coldly.
Tears welled up in the girlâs big eyes, obviously frightened.
This surprised Ethan.
He knew that in the outside world, a Military Marquis was quite a renowned figure. How could she be so fragile?
âCould it be that in this Second Secret Realm, a Military Marquis isnât much?â Ethan pondered in his heart.
By this time, tears had filled the girlâs eyes, making her look rather pitiful.
But Ethan wasnât the type to pity women. He asked coldly, âTell me, where are the Capital City Martial Arts Association members? And where is Emily Taylor being held?â
The girlâs delicate brows furrowed slightly as she replied, âAre you talking about the girl who is bound with chains?â
Upon hearing that, Ethanâs pupils abruptly shrank.
âYes! Tell me where she is right now!â Ethan grabbed the girlâs arm.
The girl said anxiously, âSheâs being held at Heavenly Mystery Cliffâ¦â
âHeavenly Mystery Cliff? Take me there,â Ethan hurriedly stood up and commanded.
But the girl murmured softly, âThere are heavily armed guards there, and they wonât let anyone get closeâ¦â
âI donât damn care whether there are guards or not! Take me there now!â Ethan yelled angrily.
How could the girl dare disobey Ethanâs instructions? She could only nod her head nervously and say, âAlright⦠Iâll take you thereâ¦â
Thus, with the girl leading the way, Ethan followed behind, heading towards Heavenly Mystery Cliff.
