Chapter 1407: Chapter 1407: Betrayal_1 Chapter 1407: Chapter 1407: Betrayal_1 The Hemp-robed Elder took the token from the First Elder and his brow furrowed slightly.

He looked the First Elder up and down, saying, “First Elder, do you not trust me?”

The First Elder shook his head, “If I didn't trust you, how could I give you the token? I'm just worried that something might go wrong.”

The Hemp-robed Elder thought about it and seemed to find the explanation reasonable.

So he put away the token and said, “I'll head back right away.”

Having said that, the Hemp-robed Elder turned to leave.

At this moment, the First Elder suddenly said, “Sixo, accompany them.”

The man called Sixo immediately stepped forward and said, “Yes, First Elder.”

An unhappy expression suddenly appeared on Hemp-robed Elder's face.

Sixo was a trusted confidant of the First Elder, and sending him to follow along clearly meant he wanted to monitor the Hemp-robed Elder.

“Don't overthink it. Sixo is my personal bodyguard, and with him there, he can take care of you as well,” said the First Elder.

Despite inwardly sneering at this, the Hemp-robed Elder remained expressionless on the surface.

After obtaining the token, the group of people headed towards the Cloud Sect.

Meanwhile, the First Elder and others remained in Divine Capital City, waiting for Ethan Smith to appear.

As time passed by the second and the minute, Ethan Smith, who was lying in Divine Capital City, finally regained consciousness.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the dazzling golden light instantly filled his vision.

Ethan Smith rubbed his eyes and looked at his own body. His entire arm had healed and was once again enveloped in a dark golden glow.

This caused Ethan Smith to rejoice instantly. He hurriedly rose from the ground and looked at his body in amazement.

As expected, the wounded area had all turned dark gold!

Specks of dark gold could be seen all over his body, appearing very strange.

A relaxed expression appeared on Ethan Smith's face.

“There are a few more wounds that haven't healed yet. Given a few more days, my body should turn completely gold,” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

Now, Ethan Smith's physical body had basically recovered. Whether it was physical strength or resilience, there had been substantial changes.

Apart from spiritual power, Ethan Smith was no different from a normal cultivator.

He tried clenching his fist and indeed found his body's strength to be much more abundant.

“With my current state, even if I encountered the First Elder again, it wouldn't be as humiliating,” thought Ethan Smith.

“I wonder how tough my body is now.”

Deep down, Ethan Smith was a little excited, even eager to go out and fight the First Elder!

However, after pondering for a moment, he decided to wait a little longer, until his injuries were fully healed.

Just then, his stomach suddenly made a rumbling sound, and the feeling of hunger surged like a tidal wave, having not eaten for days.

“Damn, I'm starving,” Ethan Smith muttered.

He took out a large handful of green bean-sized pills from the Spatial Magic Artifact.

These pills, left behind by Randall Freeman, were small but could instantly make one feel full after eating them.

“Luckily, there's still this stuff. I'll have to stock up on it when I get a chance,” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

After eating his fill, Ethan Smith sat cross-legged on the ground, basking in the sun, and slowly recovering from his injuries.

Outside, the First Elder and others were still waiting.

Though they didn't need to eat, the surrounding environment was harsh, with the endless desert stretching out.

Moreover, the qi around them was incredibly thin, making them feel somewhat drained under such conditions.

“First Elder, if Ethan Smith never comes out, are we going to wait for him indefinitely?” Someone asked.

The First Elder snorted coldly, “If we don't catch him, none of us are leaving this place!”

Then, the First Elder changed the subject and said indifferently, “But don't worry too much. Once Polly Reeves is brought here, he'll have to come out even if he doesn't want to!”

The Hemp-robed Elder and the others headed towards the Cloud Sect in a group of three.

Halfway there, the Hemp-robed Elder exchanged glances with the other two, who seemed to understand something.

At this point, the three of them suddenly stopped and fell from mid-air.

Sixo, who was following closely behind, also hurriedly followed suit.

He furrowed his brows, somewhat unhappily saying, “What are you doing? Why did you suddenly stop? Don't you know that the First Elder is still waiting?”

The Hemp-robed Elder glanced at Sixo and said with a smile that wasn't really a smile, “What, we can't take a break?”

Sixo was used to being arrogant and domineering as the First Elder's personal bodyguard and very few people in Cloud Sect dared to mess with him.

Therefore, Sixo immediately scolded, “I'm not tired, are you? I think you're just lazy! If you delay the First Elder's important matters, can you afford the responsibility?”

The Hemp-robed Elder's eyes narrowed slightly before he sneered coldly, “We've risked our lives for Cloud Sect all these years, yet the First Elder is still so wary of us. Since that's the case, why should we continue to risk our lives for him?”

Sixo's face changed, and he retreated two steps, scolding, “What are you talking about? Stop spouting nonsense!”

“What do I mean?” The murderous spirit on the Hemp-robed Elder grew heavier.

He took out the First Elder's token and sneered, “With this, we can help ourselves to the First Elder's treasures, even taking the entire Cloud Sect's treasure house! Did he really think sending a useless person like you to follow us would do any good?”
