Chapter 553: Chapter 553: Undermining the Foundation_1
Upon hearing this, Toby Bacchus’s face changed slightly, and his heart was greatly shocked!
The Great Saint Sect was currently hunting down Ethan Smith, but instead of running away, Ethan was eyeing the Great Saint Sect’s Spiritual Spring?
“Ethan, this Spiritual Spring is the foundation of the Great Saint Sect. I…I can’t take you there.” Toby Bacchus said with difficulty.
Ethan sneered, “Fine, then I’ll kill you. Anyway, there are plenty of people in the Great Saint Sect who are willing to do it.”
Toby Bacchus’s face instantly changed!
He knew Ethan’s strength well; as long as Joshua Hess wasn’t there, no one in the entire Great Saint Sect would be his opponent!
Just as Ethan had said, even if he didn’t do it himself, others would definitely do it!
Toby Bacchus’s face was dark and uncertain; after pondering for a moment, he clenched his teeth and then raised his head and asked, “Are you sure I can become the new sect?master of the Great Saint Sect?”
“Certain,” Ethan said indifferently.
“Once Joshua Hess is dead, you will be the next sect master.”
Toby Bacchus clenched his teeth and said, “Fine! I agree!”
Ethan nodded in satisfaction, then patted Toby Bacchus on the shoulder and said, “Congratulations on making the right choice.”
Afterward, Ethan quickly disguised himself and followed behind Toby Bacchus, walking out of the Great Hall.
The two headed toward the Spiritual Spring.
Along the way, countless people greeted Toby Bacchus, and some unconsciously glanced at Ethan more than once.
Fortunately, Ethan had concealed his appearance, so he didn’t arouse too much suspicion.
After hundreds of meters, the two finally arrived at a waterfall.
As soon as they approached, Ethan felt a strong surge of qi coming at him!
Ethan couldn’t help exclaiming, “No wonder the Great Saint Sect has prospered for so long; this Spiritual Spring alone is enough to support the entire sect!”
The rich qi made Ethan’s heart race with excitement.
“Do we need to get rid of them?” Toby Bacchus asked.
Ethan shook his head and said, “There’s no need; driving them away would only arouse suspicion.”
Toby Bacchus agreed and said, “Alright, I’ll wait here.”
“Wait a moment,” Ethan suddenly called out to Toby Bacchus.
He raised his hand and pointed it at Toby Bacchus’s forehead, leaving a faint mark.
Toby Bacchus frowned, “What do you mean?”
Ethan said indifferently, “I’ve left a mark on your divine sense. If you dare to inform Joshua Hess, I’ll take your life immediately.”
Toby Bacchus’s face changed instantly, and he felt a sense of unease.
But things had already reached this point, there was no turning back.
“I understand,” Toby Bacchus took a deep breath and nodded in agreement.
There were more than ten people practicing near the Spiritual Spring.
They were bathing in the spring, using secret techniques to absorb the qi from within.
Not far away was a waterfall, where the water rushed rapidly but also contained the densest qi.
Ethan strode towards the waterfall.
Suddenly, his body shook, and his clothes tore apart.
He then sat cross-legged under the waterfall, allowing the water to pour down on him.
The water contained extremely strong qi, much denser than he had imagined.
Not only that, but the qi within the Spiritual Spring seemed endless and inexhaustible.
Ethan wasted no time; he closed his eyes and started cultivating.
The qi in the waterfall flowed through Ethan’s body and clung tightly to him.
Since Ethan was at the source of the qi, almost all of it was monopolized by him alone.
Those who had come to cultivate quickly noticed that something was wrong.
“I must reach the Military Marquis Realm before Joshua Hess notices,” thought Ethan.
He then continued to cultivate under the Three Pure Ancient Tree, absorbing qi.
Meanwhile, Joshua Hess had arrived at Green Moon Villa.
Standing at the entrance, he sneered, “Green Moon Villa, Ethan Smith, you have quite the nerve.”
With that, he waved a large hand and shattered the front gate! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Joshua strode into Green Moon Villa.
Standing on the plaza, he shouted, “Ethan Smith! Come out and face your death!”
His voice thundered, reverberating throughout the Villa!
However, there was no response from the vast Green Moon Villa.
Joshua’s brow furrowed, and upon releasing his divine sense, he discovered that there was not a single person in Green Moon Villa!
“Not a single person?” he frowned.
He instantly searched the entire Villa.
Indeed, there was not a single person in Green Moon Villa!
“Ethan Smith… isn’t here?” Joshua’s face darkened.
He snorted, “Fine, I’ll wait here for you and investigate this Iceheart Lake in the meantime.”
With that, Joshua strode towards Iceheart Lake.
Just then, his phone rang.
Picking it up, he saw the caller was Kylan Taylor!
Without delay, Joshua answered the call.
“Mr. Taylor,” he greeted respectfully.
However, Kylan from the other end cursed, “Joshua Hess, you’re a fucking idiot! Ethan Smith is right at your doorstep, yet you had no idea! Worthless, utterly worthless!”
