Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1680

Chapter 1680: Chapter 1680: Cursed Land_1 Chapter 1680: Chapter 1680: Cursed Land_1 After hearing the Deputy Sect Master's words, Ethan Smith's expression suddenly darkened.

He used to trust Forrest Middleton, but now all these signs have made him start to doubt.

Most importantly, how could he understand Forrest's departure at this critical moment?

“Ethan, why don't you wait for him here? He should be back soon,” the Deputy Sect Master suggested.

Ethan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

Then he turned to the Deputy Sect Master and said with a smile, “Alright, I'll wait for him at the Cloud Sect. By the way, have there been any news about the North Plain recently?”

Mentioning this, the Deputy Sect Master's face couldn't help but sink.

He said grimly, “Just recently we received news that several border cities have disappeared, with everyone inside dead. Their deaths are the same as the methods used in the North Plain.”

Ethan wasn't surprised. He had guessed long ago that the North Plain wouldn't give up so easily, if only not to be so high-profile.

“I see. Mobilize the surrounding sects to protect the neighboring cities on their own initiative,” Ethan nodded.

The Deputy Sect Master grunted and replied, “I've already done so.”

“Good.” Ethan didn't say anything more. He took Justin Vasquez and walked toward the library.

Apart from Forrest Middleton, the Mater Frrero might also know something.

“Where are we going?” Justin asked, confused.

Ethan answered, “You'll find out soon.”

The two of them arrived at the library and found Mater Frrero.

As always, Mater Frrero spent his days cleaning and organizing books.

Upon seeing Ethan, he seemed a little surprised.

“Master Frrero,” Ethan greeted with a slight bow.

Frrero acknowledged and then asked, “Have you been to the Eastern Land?”

Ethan hummed and replied, “I have been there, but I have many doubts in my mind.”

Frrero remained silent, waiting for Ethan to continue.

In a deep voice, Ethan asked, “What secrets lie within the Eastern Land, and is the history of the Southern Province you wrote true or false? Is it based on personal feelings?”

A series of questions left Frrero at a loss for a moment on how to respond.

After contemplating for a while, he said, “There are no personal feelings in the books I wrote, nor would anyone be able to make me conceal the truth.”

Ethan coldly stared at Frrero, seeming to want to see something from his face.

Unfortunately, Frrero didn't appear to be lying.

“Master Frrero, do you know anything about the Eastern Land?” Ethan asked.

Frrero shook his head and said, “I don't know. The Eastern Land is not a place I can go to. All the information I have about it was obtained through research.”

Ethan sighed softly.

It seemed almost impossible to get any information from Frrero's mouth.

But his words didn't sound like a lie – with his power, once he entered the Eastern Land, he might not be able to leave it again.

“Thank you,” Ethan bowed.

After this remark, Ethan took Justin and left.

The Cloud Sect arranged a residence for Ethan, who didn't hesitate to stay and wait for Forrest's return.

In the room, Justin asked in a deep voice, “Is what Frrero said true?”

Ethan replied with a hum, “He shouldn't be lying.”

Justin forced a smile and said, “I hope so, but Forrest's disappearance at this moment really raises suspicions.”

Ethan kept silent, unwilling to believe that Forrest would harm him.

“How long will we wait here?” Justin inquired.

Ethan said in a deep voice, “Let's wait a few days. We don't have much time. If he doesn't return, we'll have to leave.”

Now that Ethan has obtained the dragon blood and Dragon Eye, these are all treasures for cultivation.

Moreover, no one knows when the North Plain will attack, so Ethan must close himself off for cultivation as soon as possible.

Over the next few days, Ethan and Justin waited quietly at the Cloud Sect for the sect master's return.

In a blink of an eye, five days had passed. During this time, Ethan would visit Cultivation Mountain every day, but unfortunately, there was no sign of Forrest's return.

“We can't wait any longer,” Ethan said in a deep voice.

“Anyway, we've been to the Eastern Land and returned safely. Whether or not he's deceiving us, we don't need to worry about it for the time being.” Ethan looked at Justin.

Justin nodded and said with a bitter smile, “Just… I wonder what kind of influence the curse from that mysterious person we met will bring.”

“Yeah.” Ethan sighed.

After that, Ethan looked at Justin and said, “Come with me.”

“Where to?” Justin asked.

“Grandeous Mountain,” Ethan replied seriously.

Ethan couldn't solely claim the Dragon Eye for himself; he had to share it with Justin at least.

Not only Justin, but Randall Freeman and Gregory Hum should also get a share.

It's not that Ethan was being generous, but that they couldn't consume all of the dragon blood and Dragon Eye for a while. A single drop of dragon blood could support a cultivator's training for a long time.

Moreover, with the upcoming war against the North Plain, no one could predict what would happen, so having more people prepared would be better.

The two of them hurried to the Grandeous Mountain.

At the mountaintop, Randall Freeman, Justin, and Ethan were seated cross-legged.

“Master, have you heard of the Eastern Land?” Ethan asked.

Hearing this, Randall looked surprised and said, “The Eastern Land? What do you want to know about it for?”

Ethan didn't hide anything and told Randall about everything that happened during this period.

After listening to the story, Randall's face was full of shock!

“You… you've been to the Eastern Land?” Randall asked with a frown.

Ethan hummed in affirmation, waiting for Randall's response.

Randall took a deep breath and continued, “I've heard that the Eastern Land is a terrifying place known as the Cursed Land. No matter how powerful one is, they will eventually fall there.”

“According to my knowledge, countless True Saints have perished in the Eastern Land,” Randall said coldly, looking at Ethan.

Ethan said solemnly, “It is indeed terrifying there, but we were fortunate enough to escape.”

“It's good that you made it out,” Randall commented.

Ethan continued to ask, “Master, have you heard of any curses in the Eastern Land?”

“Well, since it's called the Cursed Land, there must be curses there,” Randall replied, looking at Ethan as if he were a fool.

Ethan shook his head, “I didn't mean the place itself, but curses targeting people. When the two of us were returning, we met a person who told us that we were cursed by the Eastern Land.”

“That's right,” Justin nodded and also told Randall about his father's situation.

Randall's expression changed, and he remained silent for a while, pacing back and forth on the mountaintop.

A few seconds later, Randall looked at Ethan and said coldly, “I'm afraid it's the same curse as the one in the Eastern Land.”
