Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1821

Chapter 1821: Chapter 1821: Inner Demons_1 Chapter 1821: Chapter 1821: Inner Demons_1 Mateo Terrell looked at Ethan Smith's serious expression and could only nod his head.

The next day, Mateo left, while Ethan Smith chose to stay and wait for the end of their mission.

Over these few days, he didn't waste time. He sat cross-legged, slowly cultivating.

As for how to obtain the dark energy, Ethan planned to figure it out after returning to the Thunder Courtyard.

Two days later.

Ethan's inner demons caused trouble again. This time, without hesitation, he took out the magical artifact bottle, swallowing several primordial spirits from inside.

After consuming the primordial spirits, the one within Ethan's mind grew even stronger!

It would be no exaggeration to say that at this point, Ethan's primordial spirit was merely a step away from the Reversion Void Stage!

A powerful primordial spirit is the foundation of everything. Not only did Ethan possess an exceptionally strong primordial spirit, but he also had a physical body that had already reached the Reversion Void Stage!

At this moment, Ethan was far beyond an ordinary mighty realm cultivator or even a half-step Reversion Void cultivator.

Unrivaled below Reversion Void, this statement was not an exaggeration.

Time passed quickly, and the agreed-upon date soon arrived.

Ethan didn't dare to waste time. He arrived at the relay station and, after spending a high price in magic coins, he returned to the place they had originally agreed to meet.

He came to the location of the Thunder Courtyard's teleportation formation and stood there quietly waiting.

By the afternoon.

A few shadows appeared in the distance.

Upon seeing their figures, Ethan couldn't help but frown.

The reason for this was that the auras of these people were extremely unstable.

As they got closer, Ethan's complexion became even worse.

Each of them was covered in blood, with numerous injuries. One had even lost an arm and had half of his face smashed.

Even Salena Carpenter and Ninth Cloud had multiple wounds on their bodies.

“What… what happened?” Ethan hurriedly approached them.

The usually lively Salena was now silent.

Her face was somber, as if she had experienced something traumatic.

“Three people are dead.” At that moment, someone spoke up.

Ethan's face turned extremely ugly in an instant!

Three people dead?

He had to know that these people were elites of the Demon-slaying Peak!

“My closest friend… is also dead.” One person's face was distraught, filled with immeasurable pain.

Someone even squatted down and cried silently.

Upon seeing this scene, Ethan also felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Although he had not experienced it himself, at this moment, he deeply understood their pain.

“Salena, you… you're okay right?” Ethan squatted next to Salena and whispered softly.

Salena shook her head. She looked at Ethan and said, “We all worked together, but still three people died, sigh.”

“Don't be too sad.” Ethan didn't know how to console her, so he could only provide words of encouragement.

Salena waved her hand and said, “I just feel terrible.”

If even Salena was this upset, the others were even worse off.

Ninth Cloud's expression was frighteningly cold, and even his aura was extremely unstable.

“Let's go,” Ninth Cloud said.

At this time, someone suddenly spoke up, “Ninth Cloud, I want to go back and bring Old Eight's corpse back.”

Ninth Cloud glanced at him and coldly said, “What's the use of bringing back a corpse? If you go back now, you're only going to your own death.”

“But…”

“There's nothing to argue about. This isn't the first time someone from Demon-slaying Peak has died,” Ninth Cloud interrupted him.

After saying that, he activated the teleportation formation and instructed everyone to leave immediately.

Even though everyone felt uncomfortable, they had to remain rational as Devil Hunters.

So, they eventually stepped into the formation.

The group embarked on the journey back to the Thunder Courtyard.

On this journey, Ethan felt somewhat uneasy.

No wonder Ninth Cloud didn't allow him to join; the dangers were probably beyond imagination.

After a long time, the group finally returned to Demon-slaying Peak.

This time, there were no cheerful laughter and chatter. Instead, it was extremely gloomy. No one spoke much, and they all returned to their cave abodes.

In the cave abode, Salena's mood didn't seem to improve.

Ethan didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only accompany her at her side.

Fortunately, Salena had a big heart. After a while, she acted like nothing had happened, eating and drinking as usual. The only difference was that she drank a lot of wine that night, getting extremely drunk even with her large alcohol tolerance.

The feeling of losing companions must be hard to bear.

And this was the first time Salena had experienced the meaning of companionship.

The next day.

Salena handed her token to Ethan.

“We got a total of forty-five points this time, that should be enough,” Salena said.

Ethan took Salena's token, opened his mouth, and said, “You're okay now, right?”

“What could be wrong with me?” Salena stretched lazily.

“But what about you? Did you gain anything from your trip to the Central Province?”

Ethan replied with a hum, recounting his story to Salena.

“So, that means you've met the chaotic body?” Salena mumbled while stroking her chin.

Ethan spoke solemnly, “I did. He's even stronger than I imagined, meaning I need to hurry.”

Salena agreed, saying, “Then you should go to the first main peak right away; don't waste any more time.”

“Alright.” Ethan stood up, left the cave abode and headed straight for the first main peak.

Just like last time, Ethan was already familiar with the process.

Upon arriving at the library, he directly went for the Pure Heart Sutra.

What surprised Ethan was that the Pure Heart Sutra was not an actual book. After exchanging it, it transformed into a golden light and directly entered Ethan's mind.

The Pure Heart Sutra's original form remained in its place, shining brilliantly.

Ethan didn't dwell on it, as long as he had obtained the cultivation skill.

After obtaining the Pure Heart Sutra, Ethan visited Dean Garner again, but unfortunately, the dean did not see him this time.

With no other choice, Ethan could only return to Demon-slaying Peak.

“There are still quite a few points left in this token, just take them all.” Ethan handed his token to Salena.

“You can go to the first main peak when you have time and exchange it for the cultivation skills you need.”

This time, Salena didn't refuse. She transferred all the points from Ethan's token to her own.

After handling all of this, Ethan officially began his cultivation.

He closed his eyes slightly and circulated the Pure Heart Sutra in his mind.

This was an extremely peculiar cultivation technique. Under the operation of the Pure Heart Sutra, the inner demons were indeed suppressed.

This immediately filled Ethan with joy. As long as he could suppress the inner demons, he could devour the remaining primordial spirits without any worries.

However, at this moment, Ethan didn't realize that the more severe the suppression of the inner demons, the more dreadful their backlash would be.

He could not have imagined that these inner demons would give birth to a terrifying monster – a monster that was none other than Ethan himself.
