Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1337

Chapter 1337: Chapter 1337: Famous Throughout the World Chapter 1337: Chapter 1337: Famous Throughout the World Kingsley Kelley hurriedly said, “Mr. Snider, if you have any important news, you must tell me!”

“Don't worry,” Mr. Snider said lightly.

In the hall, a long table was arranged.

The sect master, who had not appeared for a long time, was sitting at the opposite side of the table.

Besides the sect master, the Deputy Sect Master, elders, and housekeeping elders were present, and even some guest elders could be seen.

This was enough to show how much importance the sect master attached to this matter.

Mr. Snider quickly walked forward and sat down in his seat.

The First Elder sat beside the sect master, his face showing grief and anger.

The sect master appeared tall and handsome, but everyone present knew that he was already several hundred years old and had profound strength.

Years ago, he had led his disciples in conquering vast territories. Although he had retired, his strength had become even stronger and more mysterious.

“Master, Philbert Duncan was my beloved disciple, but he was killed by someone in front of me with two punches. There must be an outcome for this!” the First Elder angrily said.

Perhaps the First Elder was the only one in the sect who dared to speak to the sect master in such a manner.

The reason was simple: he was a meritorious figure in the Cloud Sect.

The sect master's cold gaze swept over everyone present.

He said solemnly, “Killing Philbert Duncan is a slap in the face of our Cloud Sect. If this matter is not handled properly, who else will fear the Cloud Sect?”

“That's right, that Ethan Smith must die,” said an elder beside him.

“Such a rampant person must be publicly executed!”

“There must be an explanation for Philbert Duncan's death.”

Everyone was chattering, expressing their own ideas.

At this moment, the sect master coldly said, “I'm more concerned about who exactly Ethan Smith is than taking revenge.”

As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone's eyes fell on Mr. Snider.

Mr. Snider quickly stood up and recounted the events with exaggeration.

After listening to Mr. Snider's words, the sect master didn't speak for a while.

He knocked on the tabletop, and the “tap tap” sounds seemed to strike everyone's hearts, making them tremble.

“Why did you offend him rather than recruited him to our side when he has such a great cultivation at a young age?” the sect master coldly asked.

Mr. Snider's face changed drastically!

It seemed that the sect master wanted to hold him responsible!

“Master, he's just physically abnormal and can't practice cultivation. Such a person has no great future or need for cultivation…” Mr. Snider hastily explained.

The sect master coldly asked, “How do you know he's not poisoned by Twilight Qi? If he can't practice because of Twilight Qi, do you know what that means?”

Mr. Snider's face grew uglier, and sweat continuously dripped from his forehead.

He thought this was his chance, but it seemed to be a disaster now.

“If he is indeed poisoned by Twilight Qi, then it means we not only missed an extraordinary chosen one but also offended him,” the sect master said more coldly, making even the elder shudder.

“No… it's impossible, absolutely impossible…” Mr. Snider was sweating profusely, swallowing saliva.

But at this moment, the First Elder coldly said, “I saw Ethan Smith with Ava Brown from the Brown family. As far as I know, Ava Brown is poisoned by Twilight Qi.”

“It's a coincidence, it must be a coincidence!” Mr. Snider panickedly said.

“Coincidence? If Ethan Smith wasn't affected by Twilight Qi, why would he be together with Ava Brown?” asked the First Elder coldly.

“You're the one who started this and caused my disciple's death and the sect's humiliation!”

Mr. Snider slumped in his chair and trembled, “Master, it's…it's absolutely impossible…”

“You still dare to argue!” shouted the First Elder angrily, clenching his fists as if he was about to strike.

At this moment, the sect master waved his hand and said, “Forget it, let's not act impulsively until we figure out the truth.”

After saying this, the sect master looked at Mr. Snider and said lightly, “However, you are ultimately responsible for this matter. In order to make up to the First Elder, you should give your new disciple to him.”

New disciple? Kingsley Kelley?

After all this back-and-forth, the First Elder was actually aiming for Kingsley Kelley?

“Master, Kingsley Kelley is my closed-door disciple and I can't hand him over to anyone else…” Mr. Snider said somewhat unwillingly.

At this moment, the First Elder slapped the table and coldly said, “Kingsley Kelley's talent is not inferior to Philbert Duncan's. Only he can compensate me. Besides, do you deserve to have such a genius with your ability?”

Mr. Snider opened his mouth, knowing there was no room for negotiation.

“Mr. Snider, you'd better pray that Ethan Smith did not lose his spiritual power due to the Twilight Poison, otherwise, it won't be as simple as losing a disciple,” the First Elder said coldly.

These words were not only the First Elder's thoughts but also represented the sect master's intentions.

After the meeting, Mr. Snider's face was pale, as if grieving for the dead.

He was clear that if Ethan Smith had indeed lost his spiritual power due to the Twilight Poison, the Cloud Sect might try to make peace with Ethan Smith to get him.

And he might likely become the bargaining chip for peace and be given to Ethan Smith.

“No, I can't let this happen!” said Mr. Snider with a vicious look on his face.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and countless thoughts flashed through his head.

“There's only one way to do this now: to intensify the conflict between the Cloud Sect and Ethan Smith!” Mr. Snider said coldly.

Only by letting their conflict reach an irreconcilable level would he have a chance to survive.

A hint of coldness flashed across Mr. Snider's face, followed by a sneer.

The news of Ethan Smith killing Philbert Duncan had spread, and the entire Sunilope City was trembling with fear.

They were afraid that the Cloud Sect would annihilate the entire Sunilope City in a rage.

As Ethan Smith walked down the street of Sunilope City, everyone looked at him with hostility.

“Well, it looks like we can't stay here anymore,” Ethan Smith said with a bitter smile.

Ava Brown nodded and said, “You can't blame them. They have no power to resist the Cloud Sect.”

“Yes,” agreed Ethan Smith, “it's indeed time to go back.”

“Where do you plan to go, Mr. Smith?” Ava asked.

Ethan Smith thought for a moment and said, “Let's go back to Gowinston City. There's nowhere else I can go apart from there.”
