Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1397

Chapter 1397: Chapter 1397: The Furious First Elder_1 Chapter 1397: Chapter 1397: The Furious First Elder_1 Just as Wilbur had described, its body was massive and completely engulfed in thick fog.

The dense fog swirled, as if the creature was emanating it from its body.

Ethan Smith coldly stared at the enormous creature. Despite the thick fog covering it, under his desolate divine eye, it had nowhere to hide.

“It's him,” Ethan Smith said coldly.

“Huh? What are you talking about?” Wilbur seemed not to understand Ethan's meaning.

Ethan shook his head, “Wilbur, wait here for me. I'll be right back.”

Wilbur grabbed Ethan's arm, asking, “Can you handle it alone?”

“Don't worry. I've dealt with this thing before,” Ethan coldly replied.

With that, he charged straight into the thick fog.

This green organism was much larger than any Ethan had encountered before, and naturally, its strength was much more formidable.

Moreover, its terrifying aura was enough to give even Ethan some apprehension at this moment.

“Have you seen this thing before?” Drexel's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

Ethan replied coldly, “I thought you were dead.”

Ignoring Ethan's words, Drexel said, “This creature is extremely bizarre. It was once known as the Hand of Death, but no one knows its origins.”

Ethan said solemnly, “What do you know?”

Drexel remained silent, seeming to feign death again.

“I'm telling you, if I die, you'll die too,” Ethan said coldly.

Hearing these words, Drexel finally spoke up.

He said in a low voice, “I don't know much about it, mostly rumors. All I can say is that it's best not to get involved with this thing. The further away from it, the better.”

Ethan scoffed, “Do you think I have any other choice? I've already discovered that wherever there is Life Aura, this thing will appear.”

Of course, the flying spider was an exception.

Though he didn't know the reason, Ethan firmly believed in his view.

In order to restore his spiritual power, no matter the risk, Ethan had to give it a try.

Drexel remained silent, having no physical body, he could only accept his fate.

As Ethan approached the green creature, known as the Hand of Death, a chilling sensation grew stronger and stronger.

Ethan felt an overwhelming pressure, several times stronger than what he had experienced in the Sunilope City Mountain Range.

“I'm in for a tough battle,” he thought.

But during this time, Ethan's strength had improved, and his body had undergone tremendous changes, so he was confident deep down.

While Ethan searched for the Water of Life, the First Elder had already quietly begun his investigation.

With his abilities, he quickly unraveled everything.

“Ethan Smith risked coming to Gowinston City because he must have heard about the Sky Cloud Sect's plan to execute his companions,” the First Elder said coldly while sitting at the Elder's residence.

“He came here but didn't take the others away. Instead, Kingsley Kelley asked me for Polly Reeves and the rest at this time. This proves that Ethan Smith and Kingsley Kelley have met already,” the First Elder deduced.

His face grew colder, and a surge of anger erupted.

In front of the First Elder were three long-bearded elderly men.

These three were Peak of Mighty Realm Cultivators and guest elders of the Cloud Sect.

Under normal circumstances, the Cloud Sect rarely summoned guest elders. Their sudden summoning this time demonstrated the severity of the situation.

“All three of you, go to Gowinston City immediately and find a woman named Simona at the Gowinston City Auction for me.” The First Elder took a deep breath.

The three bowed and replied, “Yes, First Elder.”

With that, their figures slowly disappeared into the space.

Meanwhile, the First Elder stood up and headed towards the cultivation room.

Inside the cultivation room, Kingsley Kelley was in the midst of his closed-door cultivation.

The First Elder abruptly pushed the door open and stomped in.

Kingsley Kelley was suddenly awakened, looking at him in surprise, “Master, why have you come?”

Without saying a word, the First Elder simply crooked his finger.

Kingsley Kelley's body sped uncontrollably towards the First Elder!

The First Elder clutched Kingsley Kelley's throat and said coldly, “You've met Ethan Smith, haven't you?”

Kingsley Kelley's heart raced, but he still vehemently denied it, “No, who told you such nonsense…?”

“You dare lie to me?!” The First Elder increased his grip on Kingsley Kelley's throat. Kingsley's face turned red, and he struggled to breathe.

“Tell me! How did you meet Ethan Smith!” the First Elder demanded coldly.

Clenching his teeth, Kingsley Kelley knew that the First Elder must have no evidence; otherwise, he wouldn't interrogate him like this.

“I…I didn't…” Kingsley said with difficulty.

The First Elder narrowed his eyes and then released Kingsley.

He turned his back and sneered, “Alright, since you say you haven't, then I'll believe you.”

Catching his breath, Kingsley's heart eased.

However, at that moment, the First Elder changed his tone, sneering, “To show your sincerity, hand over Polly Reeves and the others.”

The stone that had just settled in Kingsley Kelley's heart was immediately suspended again.

“Master… What… what do you want with them? Their cultivation bases are low, Ethan won't care about them; you…” Kingsley tried to use his usual excuses, but this time they were clearly ineffective.

The First Elder sneered, “I don't care if Ethan cares about them or not. All I care about is whether you're truly loyal to the Cloud Sect.”

“Either hand them over, or die with them!”

Kingsley Kelley stood there, his face ashen.

He had no idea what to do next.

“You know, if I wanted to kill them, you wouldn't be able to stop me,” the First Elder said calmly.

“I'm giving you a chance now!”

Kingsley's face was gloomy, and he remained silent.

He had promised Ethan that he would protect them, but something had gone wrong in the end.

“Fine, you don't have to say anything else,” the First Elder waved his hand, “You all wait for your deaths together!”

After dropping those words, the First Elder turned and left.
