Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1143

Chapter 1143: Chapter 1143: Visiting the Heavenly Secrets Master_1 Chapter 1143: Chapter 1143: Visiting the Heavenly Secrets Master_1 Ethan Smith and Star looked at each other in astonishment.

He stared at Edward Green in front of him, whispering, “Are you sure… you just didn't come here?”

“I didn't! I fainted! Damn it, are you guys all right?” Edward Green rubbed his head and muttered softly.

Ethan's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Since the person who had just arrived was not Edward Green, it meant that the real Guardian had come – Ethan's father!

“I had noticed something was wrong a long time ago, but I wasn't sure,” the Pavilion Master said in a slightly resentful tone.

Ethan remained silent, his heart in turmoil.

This was his first encounter with his father, yet they hadn't even exchanged a word.

“If it was my father who came, it means he's already violated the rules,” Ethan whispered.

In that case, he would definitely be punished by the Path of Heaven.

This made Ethan feel very uncomfortable.

The father he had never met seemed to be secretly watching Ethan's every move.

He slumped into the chair, holding his forehead, not speaking for a long time.

“Don't think too much,” Star tried to console him.

“Since he's already come, there's no use thinking more about it.”

But Ethan clenched his teeth and said, “Actually… it's not the first time he's helped me. According to you all, each time he intervenes, he's punished. So maybe…”

He didn't finish his sentence, but his heart was very uncomfortable.

“If you really feel bad, try to improve your own strength,” the Pavilion Master said faintly.

Upon hearing this, Ethan suddenly stood up and said, “You're right! As long as I'm strong enough, even the Path of Heaven won't matter!”

The Pavilion Master's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

What she meant by her words was that as long as he improved his strength, he could avoid troubling the Guardian as much as possible.

But unexpectedly, Ethan was actually contemplating opposing the Path of Heaven.

“No matter how you look at it, we managed to avoid this catastrophe, but those eight senior officials will never give up,” Star said on the side.

Ethan nodded in agreement, rubbing his chest where there was still a trace of pain.

It was the result of Dashiell Garrett's palm strike, which shattered Ethan's azure wood true body with just one hit.

The gap in strength between them was self-evident.

“Has the Holy Region opened?” Ethan asked, looking at Star.

Star shook her head and said, “I don't know. The Ancient Array Platform is in the Paramount Mystic Realm. If we don't enter the first Mystic Realm, we won't be able to unlock the Ancient Array Platform.”

“Just wait, Heavenly Secrets will definitely speak up tonight,” said the Pavilion Master.

Ethan nodded, as there was nothing else he could do for now.

In the first Mystic Realm.

The eight senior officials gathered in the Great Hall.

All of them wore unpleasant expressions; none of them had expected the Guardian to suddenly appear.

“This Guardian is really going to great lengths for his son,” a high-level figure said coldly.

“Indeed, the Guardian isn't supposed to interfere in any mortal affairs, yet he seems to have violated the rules multiple times,” another senior official chimed in.

Dashiell Garrett glanced at them, snorting coldly, “And so what? Do you think we can do anything about him?”

“Shall we just let Ethan Smith off?” A high-level official scoffed.

Dashiell Garrett sneered and said, “Of course not. Ethan must die, and we must eliminate him completely.”

Dashiell Garrett was the only one who had attacked Ethan, and that palm strike seemed like just a casual slap to outsiders. But in reality, it was Dashiell's full-power strike.

Even a mighty realm cultivator would not have come out unscathed under such a strike. But Ethan took the blow head-on.

This was definitely not good news. If he progressed further, he might indeed have the qualifications to challenge the mighty realm cultivators.

“By the way, didn't Heavenly Secrets claim that the Holy Region would soon open?” At this moment, a mighty realm cultivator asked suddenly.

Mentioning this topic, everyone's gazes couldn't help but fall on the distant Ancient Array Platform.

The platform was massive, with numerous flags inserted around it. On those flags were carved one bizarre rune after another.

The platform was covered in dust, and looking closely, one could even see cobwebs.

This showed that the Ancient Array Platform had not been activated in a very long time.

“If the Holy Region really does open, perhaps we should take the opportunity to leave this place,” someone suggested.

Being closer to the water, they would naturally be the first group of people to enter the Holy Region.

However, the Ancient Array Platform currently showed no signs of activation, showing no sign of opening at all.

“Before the Holy Region opens, we must eliminate Ethan Smith,” Dashiell Garrett narrowed his eyes.

“Once we've killed Ethan, we'll immediately flee to the Holy Region. This way, even his Guardian won't be able to do anything about us!”

This suggestion seemed to gain the approval of most senior officials.

They had already drained the Earth of nearly all its cultivation resources, so there was no point in staying any longer.

That night.

Heavenly Secrets indeed appeared on the Martial Arts Forum.

“The Holy Region will open soon, but the array platforms will be needed.”

“There are eighteen array platforms in the world, scattered all over.”

Heavenly Secrets did not mention a specific time for the opening of the Holy Region, only using the word “soon.”

As for the locations of the eighteen array platforms he mentioned, he did not disclose them either.

“Eighteen array platforms… so going to the Holy Region doesn't necessarily require passing through the first Mystic Realm,” Ethan rubbed his chin, whispering softly.

Just then, Daphne Green, Emmett Middleton, and others entered the room.

Seeing them, Ethan quickly stood up and said, “Why have you come?”

Daphne laughed and said, “Ethan, we're planning to visit Heavenly Secrets today to ask about matters related to the Holy Region. Are you interested?”

Hearing this, Ethan's face immediately showed interest.

“Let's go, of course!” Ethan nodded.

He had too many questions in his heart and wanted to find someone to ask for clarification, but he didn't know who to consult.

This mysterious Heavenly Secrets was a perfect choice.
