Gregory Hum burst into laughter and said, “You talk as if you’re any different.”
“I’m not like you at all. I’m extremely busy every day.”
“Busy drinking?”
“…”
The group sat in the bamboo forest on the mountain, enjoying themselves greatly.
However, at this moment, Ethan Smith was full of worries in his heart.
It was nighttime.
Ethan Smith fumbled with a jade pendant hanging around his neck.
This jade pendant was the token given to him by Emily Taylor.
“What are you thinking about?” At that moment, Gregory Hum suddenly walked over and sat down next to Ethan Smith.
Ethan Smith looked at Gregory Hum and said, “Brother Hum, when do you think the conflict between the North Plain and the Southern Province will break out?”
Gregory Hum thought for a moment and shook his head, “It’s hard to say, but since the people from the North Plain have already arrived in the Southern Province, it means they are ready to take action.”
Then, Gregory Hum asked, “If the people from the North Plain really come to the Southern Province, what will you choose? To leave or stay in the Southern Province?”
This was the dilemma that Ethan Smith was struggling with.
He didn’t have much affection for the Southern Province and didn’t feel the need to take action.
Moreover, Ethan Smith still had a deep hatred for the Cloud Sect.
But if he left, how would he be any different from those people at yesterday’s feast?
“If the cultivation method of the North Plain is truly harmful, I might stay here.” After much struggle, Ethan Smith finally spoke.
Gregory Hum laughed heartily, patted Ethan Smith on the shoulder, and said, “Don’t think too much.”
Ethan Smith nodded and continued, “Honestly, what I want to do the most right now is to kill the First Elder.”
“He might be thinking the same thing about you.” Gregory Hum said.
“Yes.” Ethan Smith sighed.
The hatred between the two of them had already reached an irreconcilable state.
If someone took the opportunity to make trouble for the Cloud Sect, Ethan Smith might very well lend a hand to help eliminate the Cloud Sect together.
As for other matters, Ethan Smith didn’t want to think too much about them.
“It’s time for me to go into seclusion.” Ethan Smith stood up and said.
“At least I need to step into the Mighty Realm.”
In the current era, those below the Mighty Realm are truly like ants.
One million cultivators in the North Plain are probably all above the Mighty Realm.
If this force causes trouble, the Southern Province might not be able to withstand it.
Even the Cloud Sect, known as the First Sect of the Southern Province, only has tens of thousands of people, including those in the Nascent Soul Realm.
Ethan Smith planned to salvage some herbs first, refine enough pills, and then go into seclusion.
When he emerged from seclusion, it would be time for the death of the First Elder.
…
Cloud Sect.
The First Elder, who had been scolded by the sect master, seemed somewhat uneasy.
“It seems I need to put aside my grievances with Ethan Smith for now.” The First Elder whispered to himself.
Just then, someone outside suddenly reported, “First Elder, someone is here to see you.”
“Who is it?” The First Elder asked casually.
“The head of the Marshall family, Barclay Marshall.”
The First Elder’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Barclay Marshall? Why would he come here?
At the beginning, the Cloud Sect had sent an invitation to them, but unfortunately, it was refused by Barclay Marshall.
If the sect master had not lost his murderous intent, Barclay Marshall might have long become a pile of bones by now.
The First Elder pondered for a moment and said, “Let him come in.”
“Yes, First Elder.”
A few minutes later.
Barclay Marshall walked in from outside.
“Greetings, First Elder.” Barclay Marshall cupped his hands towards the First Elder.
The First Elder glanced at him and said indifferently, “Barclay Marshall, what brings you here?”
Barclay Marshall didn’t beat around the bush and said straightforwardly, “I’ve come for Ethan Smith.”
“Ethan Smith?” The First Elder’s pupils constricted.
The mention of Ethan Smith made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
“Yes, I heard that there is a feud between Ethan Smith and the Cloud Sect, so I came here specially.” Barclay Marshall said.
The First Elder snorted and said, “The sect master has said to put these matters aside for now and focus on the bigger picture.”
Barclay Marshall’s face changed, and he hurriedly said, “First Elder, what do you mean by that? Are you planning to let Ethan Smith go?”
“Of course I don’t want to let him go!” The First Elder gritted his teeth and said, “But there are more important things to do right now.”
Barclay Marshall clenched his teeth and said, “First Elder, Ethan Smith killed Philbert Duncan and repeatedly humiliated the Cloud Sect. Are you really going to let this go?”
“Barclay Marshall, what do you mean? What does the matter between the Cloud Sect and Ethan Smith have to do with you?” The First Elder said with a gloomy face.
Barclay Marshall didn’t hide anything. He gritted his teeth and said, “Ethan Smith killed my two sons, the most outstanding ones among them. I must make him pay!”
“Oh, what does that have to do with me?” The First Elder said indifferently.
Barclay Marshall clenched his teeth and said, “First Elder, if you are willing to take action, the Marshall family will submit to the Cloud Sect immediately!”
The First Elder raised his eyebrows, seemingly tempted.
Without waiting for the First Elder to speak, Barclay Marshall continued, “Of course, if you refuse, I will go find someone else. I believe there is more than just the Cloud Sect that can kill Ethan Smith under the heavens!”
The First Elder fell silent.
The assets of the Marshall family were quite tempting, and most importantly, the Marshall family was not a newly established family, but a very ancient one.
The heritage of such a family should not be underestimated.
