But you managed to block it with your bare hands.” Clara Cobbett continued to ask.

“It simply doesn't make any sense, and there's no trace of spiritual power fluctuating within you.”

Ethan Smith stopped in his tracks.

He turned to face Clara Cobbett, saying, “What are you trying to say, exactly?”

Clara Cobbett hesitated for a moment before responding, “I'm just wondering if you are…”

“I am not. I am nothing, just someone with innate divine power.” Ethan Smith interrupted Clara Cobbett's words.

“And stop guessing, I'm just an ordinary person.”

Clara Cobbett, who had been harboring suspicions, became even more curious after hearing Ethan Smith vehemently deny her assumptions.

She carefully scrutinized Ethan's face, as if attempting to find some flaw in his story.

This made Ethan Smith feel slightly uneasy. Fortunately, he would be leaving this place soon, offering a bit of solace.

When they got back to Harmony Tower, it was already getting dark.

Mr. Trivett, seeing the two return, simply nodded his head without saying much and hurried away.

“Huh? Mr. Trivett seems a bit odd today,” Clara Cobbett remarked.

Ethan Smith didn't give it much thought, as he wasn't very familiar with Mr. Trivett.

“Do you know Ken Middleton?” Ethan suddenly looked at Clara Cobbett and asked.

“Of course I do. He's a well-known hero in the Southern Province,” Clara Cobbett instantly replied.

“Why do you dislike him but instead like this 'Ethan Smith'?” Ethan Smith asked with a hint of confusion.

“Ken Middleton's more powerful, and he's extremely righteous. It seems he should be more deserving of your admiration than Ethan Smith, right?”

Clara Cobbett rolled her eyes. “How do you know I don't like Ken Middleton? He's also my idol, but… he's been famous for too long. There's a sense of distance, while Ethan Smith feels more like someone who lives among us.”

Ethan Smith just responded with an “oh” and did not continue questioning.

The next day,

Ethan Smith and Clara Cobbett continued to load their belongings. By midday, they prepared to set off for Cloud Sect.

Although Harmony Tower wasn't too far from Cloud Sect, there was still some distance between them.

To reach Cloud Sect, they would need to pass through a small town.

As Ethan Smith and Clara Cobbett walked through the town as usual, they suddenly stopped in their tracks upon seeing a scene not too far away.

A young man wearing the Cloud Sect uniform was violently beating an elderly man in tattered clothes, cursing at him constantly.

“Damn it!” Clara Cobbett cursed and then took a running start before kicking the young man hard in the back.

Her kick carried extreme force, sending the young man flying several meters and breaking through a mountain wall before he could stabilize himself.

“Fucking bastard, bullying people like a damn mongrel!” Clara Cobbett gritted her teeth and cursed viciously.

Ethan Smith was taken aback, as he initially thought Clara Cobbett would only resort to verbal opposition but didn't expect her to actually take action.

The young man climbed up from the ground, rubbing his sore back. He yelled angrily, “Are you looking to die?!”

Clara Cobbett glared at him. “Scum, who do you think you are to hit people?”

“I'll hit whoever I want; it's none of your business! I'm part of Cloud Sect! You dare to interfere?!” the young man roared angrily.

As he spoke, the young man charged towards Clara Cobbett, his palm striking towards her.

Being part of Cloud Sect, the young man's strength was not to be underestimated.

However, Clara Cobbett was just a rogue cultivator with ordinary talent and stood no chance against the young man.

After just a few exchanges, she was forced to retreat.

“Dare to lay a hand on Cloud Sect's people? Be prepared to die!” The young man closed in step by step.

His palm shone with a brilliant light, as a terrifying energy surged.

“Die!”

He raised his hand abruptly, aiming a fierce blow at Clara Cobbett's head!

But in that instant, a fist radiating a faint golden light burst forth from a distance!

Without even giving the young man a chance to react, Ethan Smith's fist was already closing in.

“Crack!”

In the blink of an eye, his head exploded!

Clara Cobbett's face turned deathly pale, as she had seemingly never witnessed a murder firsthand.

“You… you killed him?” Clara Cobbett swallowed hard, fear evident in her voice.

Ethan Smith glanced at her, saying, “He is from Cloud Sect, and if you didn't kill him, then you would be the one to die. Before you struck, you should have thought this through.”

Then, Ethan Smith placed the corpse in his Spatial Magic Artifact.

The next second, his gaze fell on the elderly man.

Feeling Ethan Smith's icy stare, the old man's face instantly changed.

Clara Cobbett seemed to understand Ethan Smith's intentions as well and nervously asked, “What… what are you going to do?”

Ethan Smith coldly gazed at the elderly man and spoke, “He saw everything. Aren't you afraid he'll report this incident to Cloud Sect?”

“No… absolutely not!” Clara Cobbett hastily replied.

“You saved his life; there's no way he would betray us!”

The old man also hurriedly pleaded, “Don't kill me, please don't kill me, I… I didn't see anything…”
