Chapter 2027: Chapter 2027: The Uneasy Daniel Wilson Chapter 2027: Chapter 2027: The Uneasy Daniel Wilson Despite how close this battle had brought Ethan Smith to the brink of death, it seemed that he had also gained a new insight during this life-and-death struggle.

With a great effort, Ethan Smith shook his head, struggling to rise from the bed, and staggered towards the outside of the room.

This was a sizable wooden house built over water, surrounded by a beautiful environment of water on all sides.

The house was built on a verdant lake, surrounded by dense green trees and exotic flowers and plants, with the fresh scent of flowers permeating the air.

The lake water was like a mirror, clearly reflecting the surrounding beauty.

A few egrets skimmed lightly over the lake surface, leaving behind a trail of ripples.

Not far away, there was a small mountain, its trees lush and green.

In this peaceful environment, Ethan Smith felt an unprecedented sense of tranquillity.

The anxiety and restlessness in his heart seemed to dissipate amidst this beautiful scenery.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath of fresh air, and integrated this unprecedented insight into the depths of his soul, as if connecting the imminent threat of death with the tranquility of life.

Following his gaze, he saw that Ken Middleton was sitting by the river, playing a flute.

The melodious flute sound immersed one's mind, a complete contrast to the enchanting sound produced by the Williams Saintess.

“You're awake.” Seeing Ethan Smith steping out the door, Ken Middleton put down the flute in his hand and asked with a smile.

Ethan Smith sat down in front of Ken Middleton, nodded slightly, and asked, “Senior Ken, how long have I been unconscious?”

Ken Middleton replied, “About eight days.”

“What?!” Upon hearing that, Ethan Smith's face changed abruptly, and he hastily got up to leave.

But at that moment, a soft breath blocked Ethan Smith's way.

“Where are you going?” Ken Middleton asked.

Ethan Smith said grimly, “Salena Carpenter is waiting for me, if I do not return, she will be worried. Moreover, the Chaos Grave should be opening soon.”

Upon hearing this, Ken Middleton responded with a slightly surprised tone, “You and Salena Carpenter are together?”

Ethan Smith grunted, but he had no time to explain at the moment. He turned and walked away.

“You're better off resting here for now, given your condition. As for Salena Carpenter, give me the address and I'll find her,” Ken Middleton said.

Ethan Smith frowned. Having Ken Middleton find Salena Carpenter was indeed a good option.

Ken Middleton's abilities were unfathomable, and his talent was exceptional. Remaining with him, Salena Carpenter would likely be safe.

Or rather, having Ken Middleton bring Salena Carpenter here would also ensure her safety.

“But that Chaos Grave….” Ethan Smith frowned.

Ken Middleton shook his head, “I have already explored that situation. Unlocking the Chaos Grave is extremely difficult. There are presently eighteen Formation Masters attempting the unlock, it's likely that it will take some more time. You should recuperate here for now.”

Upon hearing Ken Middleton's words, Ethan Smith understood.

No wonder the Wilson family was struggling to find a competent Formation Master to break the formation at the time.

“Your abilities surprise me.” At this time, Ken Middleton suddenly changed the subject.

Ethan Smith laughed bitterly, saying, “I only rely on the formation.”

“Relying on the formation?” Ken Middleton arched an eyebrow, then laughed heartily, “Ethan Smith, don't be modest. That formation is not something an ordinary person can set up, and besides, you even bet your life on it. Any mishap could have resulted in your death, yet you still chose to do it. I want to know why.”

Ethan Smith was silent for a moment, then sighed, “I initially intended to kill Elder Wilson to avoid him taking revenge on you. But now it seems that my plan has likely failed.”

Ken Middleton was even more surprised. He frowned, “Why would you do such a thing? For me? Is it worth it?”

“You offended the Wilson family for a stranger's stall. Was that worth it?” Ethan Smith countered.

Ken Middleton was taken aback, and then he burst into hearty laughter.

He heavily patted Ethan Smith on the shoulder, saying, “I knew you'd be to my liking!”

“I'm not worthy. Senior Ken has always been my role model,” Ethan Smith replied modestly.

Back in the Southern Province, Ken Middleton had been known as a selflessly just individual. A true hero whose realm of experience had likely risen even higher by now.

At this moment, Ken Middleton pulled out a pill and gave it to Ethan Smith.

“What is this?” Ethan Smith asked in surprise.

Ken Middleton replied, “It's a pill I procured for you. Take it.”

Leaving this remark, Ken Middleton then stood up, “This place is very safe. You can stay here with confidence. Tell me where Salena Carpenter is, and I will find her.”

Afterward, Ethan Smith gave Ken Middleton Salena Carpenter's location.

Ken Middleton didn't waste any time, immediately setting off.

With a flash, he disappeared into the Void.

Somewhat surprised, Ethan Smith looked around, whispering to himself, “This is actually a Mystic Realm…”

Meanwhile, during the eight days Ethan Smith had been unconscious, his name had become renowned across a large part of the Holy Region.

The several great families which had originally begun to lose interest in Ethan Smith once again turned their attention to him.

The Third Elder of the Wilson family was a Semi-Saint and had mastered many of the Wilson family's secret techniques. His strength far surpassed that of ordinary Semi-Saints. Yet now, he had been slain by Ethan Smith. How could this news not shock everyone!

Although it was said that Ethan Smith had relied on the formation, it was still regarded as an exceptional achievement. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that not many people in the entire Holy Region could accomplish that!

At the Wilson family, Daniel Wilson, who had just broken free from seclusion, heard this news.

Sitting alone by a pool with a somber face, he sat quiet and thoughtful.

“So, are you beginning to feel afraid?” At that moment, a voice echoed into Daniel Wilson's ears.

He turned around to find that the voice belonged to an elderly man.

Though the elderly man's face bore wrinkles of age, his spirits were lively. His every move seemed to be accompanied by a dao technique, showcasing his prowess.

When Daniel Wilson saw this man, he quickly got up, and reverently yelled, “Master.”

This man was none other than Daniel's Grand Tutor, Chad Wilson.

Not only had Chad Wilson taught Daniel all his techniques, he had personally assisted Daniel's growth!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Chad Wilson held a high position in the Wilson family. Even if it was the head of the Wilson family, he would also need to respect him!

Chad Wilson waved his hand to signal Daniel to sit down, then casually said, “The emergence of another chaotic body, is it causing you any anxiety?”

Daniel opened his mouth, then shook his head, replying, “No, master.”

“Tell the truth,” Chad Wilson commanded, with his hands clasped behind his back.

Daniel clenched his teeth, then admitted somewhat unwillingly, “I am indeed a bit shocked. As chaotic bodies, we will undoubtedly be compared!”

“Ethan Smith is merely a rogue cultivator, yet now he has such an impressive record. I…I…” Daniel hesitated, not continuing.

“I see your inner unease,” Chad Wilson said slowly.
