Chapter 1231: Chapter 1231: Background_1 Chapter 1231: Chapter 1231: Background_1 Deer Emperor, holding the chain, actually wanted to replace Ethan Smith with the Purple Jade Primordial Snake!

His words were incredibly domineering, which shocked everyone!

Ethan Smith sneered, “Let's see if you have the ability.”

“It seems you want to learn the hard way.” Deer Emperor narrowed his eyes, and with a flip of his palm, the chain disappeared!

The next second, before Ethan Smith could react, the chain appeared suddenly on his body!

“Huh?” Ethan Smith furrowed his brows.

He couldn't see how the chain had ended up on him.

“What kind of trick is this?” Ethan Smith murmured quietly.

But not far away, Deer Emperor couldn't help but sneer, “This is called the Spiral Dragon Lock. Once bound by it, all your power will vanish. Without my command, you can only become a useless person.”

“Now, you can only serve me, replacing the Purple Jade Primordial Snake!”

Ethan Smith narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, “Do you really think I'm just like that beast?”

As Deer Emperor opened his mouth, he suddenly saw Ethan Smith's body shake violently, and the Spiral Dragon Lock that had bound him shattered!

“Is that all?” Ethan Smith couldn't help but sneer.

Deer Emperor's face darkened, he stared at Ethan Smith and asked, “Who exactly are you?”

“I am myself.” Ethan Smith replied coldly.

Deer Emperor had already noticed Ethan Smith's extraordinary talent and began to doubt himself.

Although he possessed powerful techniques, he didn't want to make enemies everywhere, lest it bring unnecessary trouble.

At that moment, a man dressed in tight clothes hurriedly ran over.

He leaned over to Deer Emperor and whispered, “Lord Deer Emperor, we've found out.”

“Speak,” Deer Emperor said in a low voice.

The man quickly said, “His name is Ethan Smith, the sect master of Heaven Gate, with an impressive record.”

Having said that, he relayed Ethan Smith's achievements into Deer Emperor's ear.

After listening, Deer Emperor couldn't help but feel shocked.

He glanced at Ethan Smith and whispered, “No wonder you have such great skills.”

“Indeed, he was once known as the world's number one.” The man beside him continued.

“It was said that he went to the Holy Region before, but for some reason, he suddenly appeared on Deer Emperor Island.”

Deer Emperor remained silent, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

Offending such a formidable opponent was not what he wanted to see.

After weighing his options, Deer Emperor approached Ethan Smith again.

He smiled faintly, “So it's my friend Ethan, I apologize for earlier.”

Ethan Smith narrowed his eyes and sneered, “What do you mean by this?”

Deer Emperor laughed loudly, “It was just a misunderstanding. I hope you won't take it to heart, my friend.”

“Oh? I killed your Purple Jade Primordial Snake, and you're not seeking revenge?” Ethan Smith's tone was infused with ridicule.

Deer Emperor waved his hand, “It's just a beast. The death of one Purple Jade Primordial Snake is worth it in exchange for a friend like you!”

Hearing Deer Emperor's words, everyone was shocked!

Deer Emperor not only let it go, but wanted to be friends with this young man?

“What on earth is this guy's background?”

“I don't know, but looking at his strength, he must have a strong background.”

“For Deer Emperor, his favorite thing to do is to befriend powerful cultivators and trample weak ones.”

Ethan Smith looked at Deer Emperor coldly and couldn't help but sneer, “Friends? When did we become friends?”

These words were undoubtedly a slap in Deer Emperor's face!

As expected, Deer Emperor's face didn't look too good.

He forcefully suppressed his anger and continued to smile, “My friend Ethan, there's just a small misunderstanding between us. Now that it's cleared, why bother to dwell on it?”

Ethan Smith shook his head, “We have different paths, and I don't like your way of doing things. So, let's forget about being friends.”

“Kid, don't be ungrateful!” Someone beside sneered.

Before Ethan Smith could speak, Deer Emperor turned and slapped the person, scolding, “It's not your place to speak! Apologize to Ethan right now!”

Although unwilling, the man by Deer Emperor's side reluctantly bowed and apologized to Ethan Smith.

To Deer Emperor, he had already given enough face to Ethan Smith.

But unbeknownst to him, the more he acted like this, the more Ethan Smith looked down on him.

How would he treat others if he treated his own friends like this?

“Deer Emperor, as I said, we can't be friends,” Ethan Smith said coldly.

“If you don't bother me, I won't trouble you either. If you can't swallow your pride, I'm always ready for a fight.” Ethan Smith said coldly.

After leaving these words, Ethan Smith collected the Purple Jade Primordial Snake's tusk and turned to leave.

Deer Emperor's eyes narrowed, staring intently at Ethan Smith.

Although annoyed, he didn't stop Ethan Smith from leaving.

“Lord Deer Emperor, are you just letting him go like this?” someone whispered.

“Yes, he didn't give you any face in front of so many people. Shouldn't you at least get even with him?”

Deer Emperor remained silent, lost in thought.

After a moment, Deer Emperor spoke solemnly, “This young man is not ordinary, and his future is immeasurable. In any case, we must bring him under our banner!”

“What?” Those around him were stunned.

Ethan Smith had slapped Deer Emperor's face in public, but Deer Emperor not only didn't hold a grudge, he was even determined to establish a relationship with him?

“Lord Deer Emperor, this kid obviously doesn't want to be friends with you,” Someone frowned.

Deer Emperor sneered, “If the hard way doesn't work, I'll try the soft way. I'm sure he's not made of stone!”

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ethan Smith turned and left the huge manor.

Those around couldn't help but swallow their saliva as they found it hard to believe what they were witnessing.

As soon as he stepped out of the manor, Kingsley Kelley came running excitedly.

“Master, you're amazing!” Kingsley gave Ethan Smith a thumbs up.

Ethan Smith smiled, “Is killing a Purple Jade Primordial Snake considered amazing?”

“No, no, no, killing the Purple Jade Primordial Snake is not a big deal.” Kingsley shook his head.

“Even standing up to Deer Emperor in public is nothing impressive.”

This surprised Ethan Smith a bit.

He stopped and asked, “Then what are you referring to?”
