Chapter 1196 -1196: Searching for Mother’s Information

They all turned simultaneously, looking at Dudley Lynch, seemingly in agreement with his words.

Dudley folded his hands behind his back and spoke casually, “There were thirty spots last time, who can ensure how many there will be the next time? Don’t you want to seize the opportunity for yourselves? At this point, do you all still not understand the importance of consolidation?”

Many mighty realm cultivators kept silent, seemingly thinking there was some truth to Dudley’s words.

“So, what do you propose?” someone asked.

Dudley coldly said, “In the current era, we few can sweep across the world! There is no one that can be our match! With just one command from us, what will Heaven Gate amount to?”

“Heh, you aren’t using us to rise to power, are you?” A mighty realm cultivator sneered.

Dudley dismissed it with a wave of his hand, “Everything I do is for the purpose of entering the Holy Region. If we were to establish a sect, it would certainly be on an equal footing, controlling the sect together.”

People seemed to be somewhat tempted.

They had been waiting for this opportunity for many years, and just as they were about to step into the Holy Region, Ethan Smith beat them to it.

“Fine, tell us what you want to do.” Someone compromised.

Dudley nodded in satisfaction, “Starting from tomorrow, we’ll establish a new sect. I’ll assign people to guard the eighteen array platforms. We’ll be the first to know if anyone is trying to cross the Void.”

“As for the specific time, I’ll notify you separately. Please be patient.”

The mighty realm cultivators agreed, seeing no need for any sacrifices on their part.

After they left, a raspy voice echoed in Dudley’s mind.

“Are you doing this to step into the Holy Region, or are you just trying to fill some void in your heart?” The voice carried a hint of mockery.

Dudley’s face changed, he said coldly, “Shut up!”

“Hehe… It’s not pleasant being stepped on all the time, is it…”

“Watching Ethan Smith’s departure, you want a taste of being number one, too?”

“Truly, without tigers in the mountains, the monkey claims himself king…”

These few words rendered Dudley red-faced.

Since they shared the same body, they could naturally read each other’s thoughts.

Dudley clenched his teeth, coldly saying, “So what if it’s true, and what of it if it isn’t!”

“A mere reputation drives you this mad… Hehe, how insecure must your inner self be…” The voice didn’t attempt to hide its cynicism.

Dudley sneered, “Yes, but you still know too little.”

“Before I leave Earth, I will make a grand harvest! I’ll make the best use of all resources!”

“Do you think I’ll really escort them to the Holy Region? Dream on! Once Obadiah Heptinstall’s secret technique is in place, I’ll absorb them all!”

Dudley’s face was full of malice, his state of mind had clearly become atypical.

…

Evening time.

Ethan Smith waited a long while in Ignacio Burke’s home.

At the same time, Ignacio Burke returned home with a file.

Unsurprised by Ethan Smith’s presence, he sat across from Ethan, silently lighting a cigarette.

Soon, Ignacio handed the file to Ethan, saying, “This is the most information we were able to find.”

Ethan quickly took the file and feverishly opened it.

The file was thick, detailing that woman’s basic information, including her birthplace and life history.

He took a heavy puff from his cigarette and nodded, “Alright, I promise to do what I can, but I can’t guarantee we’ll find anything.”

“Okay, I’ll leave for the village tomorrow to investigate in-depth,” said Ethan.

Ignacio said in a heavy voice, “Ethan Smith, the situation there is quite sensitive, you… should try not to act too rashly.”

“Don’t worry,” Ethan Smith responded.

After thanking Ignacio again, Ethan left amidst the cover of the night.

The next day, Ethan set off early, heading towards the village.

Named Rainbow Village, it was quite a distance from Capital City.

It took him nearly an entire day, but Ethan finally arrived in the vicinity of Rainbow Village.

This place was indeed very remote, surrounded by a dense forest, with the entire village situated in a secluded pit.

According to what Ethan saw in the Inkstone, his mother was taken away by several black-robed men.

This was proof enough that the people who took her were far from ordinary.

After arriving in Rainbow Village Ethan didn’t waste any time. He immediately started knocking on doors to ask questions, but to no avail, he could get no information.

After all, it had been thirty years. Even if his mother was once quite famous, she had long been forgotten.

Just when Ethan was about to give up, a woman in her fifties approached him. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

“You are looking for the Jade Bodhisattva? I might know something about her,” the woman said.

Hearing this, Ethan quickly asked, “Ma’am, is what you said true?”

The woman nodded, “Yes, I know someone who was quite close to her. What people nowadays would call a ‘best friend’.”

Ethan quickly thanked her, saying, “Could you please take me to see her? I would be most grateful.”
