Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1708

Chapter 1708: Chapter 1708: The Dead River Disappears! Chapter 1708: Chapter 1708: The Dead River Disappears! Ethan Smith knew something wasn't right. He hesitated for a long time before finally joining the young man with the surname Hu.

He patted the young man on the shoulder, saying, “Enough with the insults, be careful.”

Upon hearing this, Massy glanced at Ethan, and then pointing at Dudley Lynch, he scoffed, “I'll spare you for my brother's sake this time, but don't count on such good luck next time!”

Ethan Smith found himself speechless. A scan with his divine sense revealed that Massy had already reached the Mighty Realm.

This speed left Ethan utterly surprised.

Could it be that Earth's qi had also recovered? Or had he been in the Holy Region for a long time?

Ethan pulled the young man aside and straightforwardly asked, “Are you also from Earth?”

Massy was surprised as he looked Ethan up and down. “Brother, are you also from Earth?” he asked.

Ethan Smith fell silent.

Sure enough, this young man was indeed from Earth.

Instead of answering his question, Ethan asked, “How's Earth doing now? Is the environment suitable for cultivation?”

The young man shook his head, “It's better than before, but it's not great yet, given the overall circumstances.”

Ethan Smith frowned, “How long have you been in the Holy Region?”

“Almost a year,” the young man replied.

Ethan suddenly understood.

No wonder, the Great Upheaval had occurred within this period. The young man must have arrived before it happened.

“How did you get to the Holy Region? Don't tell me someone guided you again?” Ethan furrowed his brows.

He couldn't figure it out. There weren't many sects possessing such power in the Southern Province, apart from the Cloud Sect, Ethan couldn't think of a second one.

The young man said, “I got here using the Ancient Array Platform, much to my good luck.”

“Ancient Array Platform…” Ethan quietly mused.

There are over ten Ancient Array Platforms on Earth. Using the array flag, one could indeed reach the Holy Region.

Afterwards, Ethan asked in detail about the situation on Earth.

Through their conversation, he found out that the young man's name was Drake Aguilar. Drake had reached the Nascent Soul Realm even before he arrived in the Holy Region.

With such a level of cultivation, he was virtually invincible on Earth.

It appeared that the cultivation environment on Earth was much stronger than before.

“Be careful, once the Dead River disappears, Dudley Lynch will not let you go.” Ethan patted his shoulder and advised.

Drake sneered, “I'm not afraid of him. In fact, I look forward to confronting him.”

“Don't underestimate Dudley Lynch, his strength is formidable. Even I…even Ethan Smith, can't guarantee a win against him,” Ethan warned.

Drake replied with a touch of pride, “I don't think I am weaker than Ethan Smith!”

Ethan Smith just smiled and didn't further comment.

He had said all he could say. Whatever Drake decides to do is his own business.

Ethan, at this moment, wouldn't possibly jeopardize his plans for Drake.

The northern border was still crowded. It was packed as far as the eye could see.

Once the Dead River disappears, a great battle unlike any before will likely ignite.

Ethan squinted his eyes, quietly releasing his divine sense to cover most of the people.

Soon, he detected a figure at the Reversion Void Stage in the crowd.

“There really is a Reversion Void Stage cultivator here.” Ethan thought.

It seems that the Southern Province isn't lacking in ambitious individuals. The arrival of a Reversion Void Stage cultivator means they're aiming straight for Denton Horton!

They're planning to slay Denton Horton in advance before he fully revives!

Ethan closed his eyes slightly and thought no more.

He knew that this matter isn't as simple as it seems, and the likelihood of success is extremely low.

Time ticked away as the Dead River visibly retreated before their very eyes.

Everyone's hearts were in their mouths as they nervously and excitedly stared at the disappearing Dead River.

Soon, Ethan spotted several familiar faces in the crowd.

These young men were regular visitors to the Vasquez Family. Like Justin Vasquez, they were full of passion and their presence at the northern border wasn't surprising.

Night falls quickly.

The cold wind from the North Plain made people shiver.

Ethan knew all too well about the hardships of cultivation and the harsh environment in the North Plain. Their desire to leave the North Plain was completely understandable.

However, their long-standing and distorted cultivation methods had made it impossible for others to accommodate them, and war was inevitable.

North Plain.

Simon Ingram stood in the distance, coldly watching the northern border.

An icy aura emanated from him, his strength was potent, and his eyes emitted an even colder glint, much like a vulture's.

“Finally, the time has come.” Simon took a deep breath, a cold smirk playing on his lips.

At this time, Eternal came out from one side.

He looked at Simon and asked, “Are you going to the northern border tomorrow?”

Simon glanced at him and replied neutrally, “Such a good opportunity should be left to you. Go and vent all your resentment.”

Eternal sneered, “Are you planning to stay here to protect the Ice Mountain?”

Simon didn't say a word, but his intention was clear.

Eternal responded indifferently, “You're really loyal.”

Simon coldly glanced at Eternal and said, “Eternal, just because you've reached Reversion Void Stage doesn't mean you're on par with the master. Even at the same level, there can be a huge gap.”

“Just like even now, you don't dare to confront Forrest Middleton, who is only at the half-step Reversion Void Stage. Because some people are simply unattainable for you in this lifetime,” Simon added indifferently.

Eternal paled and retorted coldly, “Although I'm no match for them, it doesn't mean I'm no match for you.”

Simon cast a glance at Eternal and sneered, “Don't worry, I'll give you an opportunity to compete.”

“I look forward to it.” Eternal threw back coldly and then turned to leave.

Dawn's light soon arrived.

Just as the Dead River was about to disappear, everyone settled down considerably compared to the preceding days.

As time moved steadily forward, Ethan sat with his eyes half-closed, patiently waiting.

“The Dead River has disappeared!”

At this moment, someone yelled out, instantly stirring up the previously quiet northern border.

Folks got to their feet, each radiating a strong determination to fight!

The intensity of this determination was even enough to shake Ethan!

Meanwhile, in the North Plain, Simon Ingram had already coordinated the battle strategy. An army under Eternal's leadership was preparing to march toward the Southern Province!

“Everyone needs to be careful, try to avoid going into North Plain territory as much as possible. The North will suppress our abilities, and not even a third of our powers will work,” Drake stood up and yelled with all his might.

“He's right! Ken Middleton paid the price for this mistake,” another person cried out.

“Avenge Ken Middleton! Kill them all!” Blake bellowed, rekindling the highest flames of war.
