Ethan Smith took a deep breath and whispered, âAs expected.â
That power was extremely formidable, and even with the power of a Martial Saint, Ethan Smith was no match for it.
If it had only been a Half-step Martial Sage, perhaps Ethan could have fought.
âIt seems they really cannot leave the Mystic Realm,â Ethan Smith said solemnly.
At this point, Ethan suddenly thought of the Martial Saint imprisoned deep within the dungeon.
âIt is said that the Capital City Martial Arts Association is holding a Martial Saint. How do they survive in this world?â Ethan asked, puzzled.
Jackson Harris glanced at Ethan and said, âHave you ever thought that the prison might also be a secret realm?â
Ethan was taken aback and suddenly understood.
Yes, the depths of that prison might very well be a Mystic Realm!
That Martial Saint was also imprisoned within the Mystic Realm!
âI understand,â Ethan Smith said solemnly.
At this moment, he thought of something and immediately looked at the Pavilion Master, asking, âWhere are the two people I brought back?â
The Pavilion Master replied, âThey are locked in the dungeon.â
âTake me to them immediately. I want to see them,â Ethan Smith hurriedly said.
Following that, several people went to the dungeon together.
With the opening of the dungeon gate, Ethan saw Kenneth Minnx, as well as the girl he had brought out from the Second Secret Realm, locked below.
Ethan frowned, took the girlâs hand, and pulled her from the dungeon.
âI wonât hurt you. I just have a few questions to ask,â Ethan looked at the tear-streaked girl and said.
The girl hastily nodded, her big eyes filled with tears.
âLord Pavilion Master, can you find a place for her to stay?â Ethan asked.
The Pavilion Master slightly nodded, looked at the girl, and said, âFollow me.â
At this moment, Ethanâs gaze fell on Kenneth Minnx.
âYou should know why Iâm looking for you,â Ethan coldly asked.
Kenneth Minnx looked up at Ethan and snorted, âHow would I know?â
âIf you donât know, let me tell you,â Ethan said coldly.
âTell me how to open the Secret Realm, and I can spare your life.â
Hearing this, Kenneth couldnât help but burst into laughter, âEthan Smith, donât think I donât know. Even if I tell you, youâll still kill me!â
Ethanâs eyebrows furrowed.
As Kenneth said, with Ethanâs current state of mind, he wouldnât spare him.
But for Emily Taylorâs sake, Ethan still took a deep breath and said, âI promise, as long as you tell me, Iâll spare you.â
âYou must be dreaming! There are very few people in this world who can open the Mystic Realm! As long as I donât tell you, at least I can save one life!â Kenneth sneered.
âDo you think Iâm a fool? If I tell you, it means Iâve lost my value! At that time, Iâll only have one death!â
Ethan Smith chuckled coldly, âYou know quite a lot, but Iâm telling you that I always keep my word. As long as you tell me, I promise Iâll spare you.â
âHmph, Iâm not a three-year-old child,â Kenneth Minnx turned away.
Ethan coldly said, âIn that case, Iâll have to kill you.â
After saying this, Ethanâs palm glowed as he approached Kenneth step by step.
At this moment, although Kenneth was frightened, he still closed his eyes, clenched his teeth and remained silent.
The glow came up to his face but eventually faded away slowly.
âYouâre really stubborn,â Ethan Smith said coldly.
âBut I have plenty of time, and there will come a day when you open your mouth.â
After saying this, Ethan left the dungeon.
For the time being, he had no time to waste on Kenneth Minnx and had to find Ms. Hayward as soon as possible to find a way to unlock the Spirit binding technique.
Ethan Smith did not sleep for the entire night.
The sky turned fish-belly white.
Man with the mustache yawned and walked out of the room.
âTsk tsk, didnât sleep a wink.â The man with the mustache muttered.@@novelbin@@
Seeing him, Ethan Smith stood up and said, âTake advantage of these few days to create a teleportation formation for me.â
âTeleportation formation?â The man with the mustache frowned, âTo where?â
âImmortal Slaying Sect,â Ethan Smith said solemnly.
âThe Capital City Martial Arts Association hasnât taken action against me yet, not because they want to let me go, but because theyâre waiting for my Power of Martial Saint to disappear.â
âSo, I must find a place to hide.â
The man with the mustache scratched his head and said, âAlright then.â
Ethan Smith patted his shoulder and said, âThanks, when I become invincible one day, Iâll make you a crown prince.â
He turned around and left after saying that.
â¦
Capital City.
Ms. Haywardâs face was full of sorrow and pain.
She stood in front of Broderickâs room, her face involuntarily revealing a trace of tears.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Broderick came out.
âMs. Hayward, why are you here?â Broderick rubbed his eyes and said.
Ms. Hayward wiped her tears and smiled, âItâs nothing, just wanted to check on you.â
âMs. Hayward, whatâs wrong?â Broderick asked with some confusion.
Ms. Hayward smiled and said, âIâm fine.â
Broderick welcomed Ms. Hayward into the room and poured her a glass of water.
âMs. Hayward, if somethingâs wrong, you must tell me.â Broderickâs brows furrowed, his face full of worry.
Ms. Hayward waved her hand.
At this point, she suddenly looked up and trembled, âBroderick, can you call me mom?â
Broderick was stunned, then immediately knelt in front of Ms. Hayward and shouted, âMom!â
Tears broke out in Ms. Haywardâs eyes instantly.
Her trembling hands stroked Broderickâs head, smiling, âGood sonâ¦Good sonâ¦No matter what, I wonât let you die.â
She finished speaking and took out a bank card from her bosom and handed it to Broderick.
âBroderick, take this bank card and leave Capital City, leave Pyro, the farther, the better!â Ms. Hayward touched his head, her voice full of reluctance.
Broderickâs eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
He looked at Ms. Hayward skeptically, âMom, whatâs going on? Can you tell me?â
Ms. Hayward weakly waved her hand, sighing, âItâs all my fault. I should never have let you get involved in this, let alone bet on anything with that Ethan Smithâ¦â
âNo, it was my choice,â Broderick said anxiously.
âMom, tell me whatâs happening, okay? Iâll face it together with you.â
âIt must be the higher-ups of the Capital City Martial Arts Association wanting to settle accounts with you.â
At this moment, a voice came from outside.
Turning to look, they saw Ethan Smith walking towards them.
Seeing Ethan, Broderick quickly stood up, coldly saying, âEthan Smith, what are you trying to do!â
Ethan glanced at him and said, âYouâre not my opponent, save your energy.â
After saying that, Ethan swaggered to the table, sat down, and even poured himself a cup of tea.
âMs. Hayward, Iâm not here to argue with you today.â Ethan took a sip of tea.
Ms. Hayward said coldly, âWhat do you want?â
Ethan Smith laughed, âI want to know the method to break free from the Spirit binding technique.â
