Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1705

Chapter 1705: Chapter 1705: Heading to the North Plain_1 Chapter 1705: Chapter 1705: Heading to the North Plain_1 Whenever someone asked, Forrest Middleton's answer would always be the same: I'm also cultivating.

It was a cultivation method that was difficult for others to understand, seemingly out of touch with the world.

Ethan Smith stayed at the enormous tomb for three days, completely absorbing all the dark energy within it before finally leaving.

After leaving the tomb, Ethan planned to return to Grandeous Mountain to visit Randall Freeman and the others, while also gathering information from them.

On the way back, Ethan came across an inn.

As he drank tea in the inn, he inadvertently overheard the people's casual conversations.

“Have you heard? The dead river will disappear in less than five days.”

“Yeah, it seems that the Southern Province will be restless again.”

“Hey, you're wrong. Nowadays, there are numerous experts emerging in our Southern Province. Why should we be afraid of the North Plain?”

“Exactly, we couldn't cross the dead river previously. But now it's different, I've even heard that Denton Horton hasn't awakened yet.”

Upon hearing this news, Ethan frowned slightly.

He put down the things in his hand and swiftly left the place.

The original plan to head to Grandeous Mountain was changed to the Cloud Sect instead.

He arrived at the Cloud Sect by following this new path.

This time, surprisingly, Forrest wasn't at the Cultivation Mountain.

He was sitting in a courtyard in the back mountains of the Cloud Sect, admiring the sunset.

Under the Deputy Sect Master's guidance, Ethan arrived at the courtyard.

Seeing Forrest sitting there, Ethan didn't say anything and directly sat down beside him.

Neither of them spoke, they just remained quiet as they gazed at the sky until the sun set.

As the sky gradually darkened, Forrest's gaze finally fell on Ethan.

This time, it was Forrest's turn to be surprised.

He laughed, “Why don't you ask anything?”

Ethan spread his hands and said, “I don't need to ask, you should be able to guess, so I'll not waste my breath.”

Forrest shook his head, “I actually didn't guess.”

“Really?” Ethan was a bit surprised.

Forrest suddenly burst out laughing, “Of course, it's fake!”

Ethan smiled bitterly, “Every time I see you, you make me feel extremely speechless.”

Forrest smiled faintly and then said seriously, “Do you want to go to the northern border?”

“Yes.” Ethan wasn't too surprised this time.

“The dead river will disappear soon, in at most five days.” Ethan added.

Forrest glanced at Ethan and said, “So, what do you need me for?”

Ethan replied, “I want to ask for your advice on how to sneak into the northern border unnoticed.”

“Denton Horton hasn't awakened yet, so I think the North Plain will be very cautious.”

Forrest nodded slightly and said, “However, I think on that day, the northern border will be chaotic, and conflicts are inevitable.”

“As for how to get to the northern border, it's up to you.”

Upon considering it, Ethan found the idea reasonable.

The resentment of the Southern Province towards the North Plain had accumulated for too long.

Moreover, the dead river had existed for so many years but now was suddenly disappearing. Countless people would come to see it.

Once the two sides met, conflicts would be unavoidable.

In this way, many opportunities arose.

“Have you thought it through? Going to the northern border is extremely dangerous, and there, you won't be able to exert even 30% of your strength at its peak,” Forrest reminded him.

Ethan nodded and said, “I've thought it through, which is why I cannot reveal my identity.”

“Alright.” Forrest did not say more.

At this point, Ethan suddenly thought of something and asked, “I need a large container, a huge one that can hold dark energy.”

“That's not difficult to obtain, but I don't have it here,” Forrest replied.

Then, Ethan thought of Simona and Gowinston City.

It was well-connected and close to Azure Rock Forest. Obtaining such a Dharma Treasure shouldn't be too challenging.

Considering that he hadn't visited them in a while, he decided to take advantage of the opportunity to visit them on this occasion.

So, Ethan got up, patted his butt, and said, “I'm leaving.”

After dropping this sentence, Ethan turned around and left.

At that moment, Forrest's voice came from behind.

“Don't be too hasty in everything,” Forrest said.

Ethan stopped for a moment, but didn't speak up. He just turned around and left.

By the time Ethan arrived at Gowinston City, three days had already passed.

Only a few days were left before the dead river completely disappears.

In this short period, many people had already started gathering at the border.

Many of them stood by the dead river, quietly looking at the opposite bank, feeling the coldness coming from it.

As the dead river had become much narrower and the distance to the North Plain was now very close, with a distance of just over a meter, there was no difference compared to standing face-to-face.

Those with weak strength hid behind, while those with strong power and foul mouths stood at the front, cursing the cultivators from the North Plain. For a moment, it was quite an odd scene.

Gowinston City.

Ethan found the City Lord.

After the last incident, Gowinston City had lost its prosperity, and the palace seemed even more dilapidated.

Ethan and the Gowinston City Lord sat in front of a chessboard, chatting while playing the game.

“I've already sent someone to find Simona; she should be here soon.” The City Lord said.

Ethan nodded, then said, “I have a favor to ask.”

“Oh? I can be of service to you?” The City Lord asked half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Ethan placed a chess piece on the board and said, “I need a container to hold qi, either spiritual qi or dark energy.”

Without giving it much thought, the City Lord nodded and asked, “How big do you need it?”

“The bigger and faster, the better,” Ethan replied.

The City Lord nodded, then waved his hand, and a general from Gowinston City approached them.

After speaking some instructions to the general, he rushed out.

“Thank you,” Ethan said.

After speaking, Ethan's divine sense swept over the City Lord.

He was surprised to find that the City Lord had actually reached the half-step Reversion Void Stage, greatly improving his strength.

Ethan thought for a moment and took out two drops of dragon blood.

He intended to give one to Simona, while the other went to the City Lord.

“This may help you step into the Reversion Void,” Ethan said.

The City Lord took the small bottle containing the drop of dragon blood and asked, “What is this?”

“Don't ask, just know that using it to refine medicine will bring great benefits,” Ethan replied.

The City Lord laughed, “Then I will be obedient.”

As they were talking, Simona returned from outside.

She walked towards them, bowed slightly to the City Lord, and quickly stepped in front of Ethan.

During this time, Simona had experienced who knew what, and she appeared more enchanting. She had also changed her attire, looking quite different from before.

At first glance, she seemed like a charming young woman.
