Chapter 2052: Chapter 2052: The Secret Hidden in the Heart_1 Chapter 2052: Chapter 2052: The Secret Hidden in the Heart_1 Ken Middleton picked up the wine jug next to him and took a strong gulp, then looked at Ethan Smith.

“The nine Great Families have already launched a strong attack on the Chaos Grave a few days ago. The news released today is completely fake.” Ken said solemnly.

Ethan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, “What happened next?”

“They failed.” Ken shook his head, “The Chaos Grave is more terrifying than we imagined. The nine Great Families each led hundreds of men to storm the Chaos Grave, but they received nothing and suffered heavy losses.”

“It is said… that at least 800 people from the nine Great Families died, including three veteran True Saints and two Tribulation Stage magical artifacts.”

Upon hearing Ken's words, Ethan was utterly shocked!

They lost three veteran True Saints? Two Tribulation Stage magical artifacts? Wasn't this too terrifying?

“Clayton Schmidt's tomb is more terrifying than we imagined. Now the nine Great Families have given up completely and plan to take it slow,” Ken said.

“So… the Chaos Grave is no longer blocked, and anyone who wants to enter can do so at will, but at least 20,000 people have died from yesterday until now.”

Ethan suddenly understood.

No wonder so many people wanted to get blood essence from him today! Because they knew that the nine Great Families would no longer participate, so they wanted to try their luck!

“No, I have to go and see.” Ethan hurriedly got up and rushed towards the direction of the Chaos Grave.

Ken and Salena Carpenter didn't hesitate and followed closely behind.

When they arrived at the Chaos Grave, it was indeed even more terrifying than before, with the oppressive atmosphere not just suppressing spiritual power but also constantly stripping away the lifespan of those inside.

People were still rushing into the Chaos Grave one after another, but almost all of them died inside.

Even those who managed to escape were likely to become living dead.

The vast Chaos Grave had added countless tomb slaves; they had no lifespan, no divine sense, and looked like countless withered zombies.

Seeing this scene, Ethan was stunned on the spot.

“It seems that everyone underestimated Clayton Schmidt's fury,” Ken said in a low voice by the side.

Ethan remained silent, his feelings a mixture of joy and sorrow, unsure whether to rejoice or worry at the moment.

“Are you still planning to go in?” Salena whispered.

Ethan took a deep breath and shook his head. “Even True Saints have died inside, let alone me. Even if I were more foolish, I wouldn't throw my life away.”

“Just because you think so doesn't mean others will,” Ken said solemnly.

Ethan, of course, understood what Ken meant.

To obtain Clayton Schmidt's secret immortal scripture, no matter how many people died, they probably wouldn't give up.

This, in turn, would naturally lead to an increase in the number of people trying to get Ethan's chaotic blood.

“Hmm?”

At this moment, Ethan suddenly noticed something.

He looked deep into the Chaos Grave and saw a vast expanse of whiteness.

“This aura… seems somewhat familiar,” Ethan said softly.

Wasn't this aura chaotic qi? Ethan had once encountered this kind of aura when he tried to obtain the Life Aura, and in that chaotic qi, he saw the mysterious green organism.

Now, this aura had appeared in the Chaos Grave as well.

“Could it be… that the people of the nine Great Families died at the hands of that mysterious green organism?” Ethan wondered in his heart.

“Alright, let's leave here quickly. The Wilson family can now spare the effort to deal with you,” Ken said.

Ethan nodded. This place was not a good place to linger, so the group of them quickly left.

For the next few days, countless people continued to enter the Chaos Grave, but almost all of them died inside. This situation persisted for more than a month before it gradually subsided, and the number of people going to the Chaos Grave slowly decreased.

Ethan and the others, including Ken, stayed in the magical artifact for more than a month.

Seeing that the Wilson family made no moves, Ethan slowly let down his guard.

“It's about time to go out and walk around,” Ethan said one day, looking at Salena and Ken as if to say goodbye.

“I'll go with you. Just in case we run into someone from the Wilson family, it's good to have backup,” Ken stood up, his broad arms giving an overwhelming sense of security.

Salena also quickly jumped onto Ethan's shoulder, nodding like a pecking chick, “That's right, that's right, with the two of us here, no one can touch you!”

But Ethan shook his head and said, “No, I plan to go out and gain experience. The Wilson family hasn't taken any action, so I don't think they will focus on me for the time being.”

“I'll go with you!” Salena hastily said.

Ethan looked at Salena and smiled, “Salena, you should know that only when one travels alone can one gain insight. Besides, life is full of dangers. Let's part ways for now.”

Salena wrinkled her cute nose, wanting to say something, but couldn't find the right words.

“Brother Ken, can I trouble you to send Salena back to Thunder Courtyard?”, Ethan bowed to Ken.

Ken was an absolutely trustworthy and reliable person. With him accompanying Salena, Ethan could rest assured.

“Are you really going to gain experience?” Ken frowned.

Ethan stretched lazily and said, “Yeah, time is pressing, and I can't afford to delay.”

Seeing that Ethan was determined to leave, Ken didn't try to persuade him anymore.

He nodded and said, “Salena will be well taken care of. You take care of yourself.”

“Thank you,” Ethan bowed to Ken again and then turned to leave.

He hadn't taken two steps when he heard Salena's voice behind him.

She ran up to Ethan like a flying bird and then took out her Saint Weapon, handing it to Ethan.

“Take this, and I'll feel more at ease,” Salena said.

Ethan laughed and said, “This belongs to Thunder Courtyard; if you give it to me, Dean Garner might get angry.”

“No, I'll just say I lost it!” Salena puffed out her chest and said confidently.

Ethan shook his head and said, “I have a Saint Weapon in my hands now, and having more isn't that useful. Don't worry, I won't have any accidents. On the Day of Heaven's Mandate, you will hear some good news.”

With that, Ethan didn't linger any longer and left without looking back.

Salena gazed at Ethan's departing figure and didn't speak for a long time.

Ken put his hand on Salena's shoulder and said, “Ethan is a smart man; he won't have any problems.”

Ethan left the Mystic Realm, concealing his aura as he walked down the street.

At this moment, there was an idea constantly in his mind that he didn't share with anyone else.

That was the Chaos Grave.

Most people had given up on the Chaos Grave, and on the surface, Ethan was no different.

But in reality, he had never stopped thinking about the Chaos Grave.

“Even Tribulation Stage magical artifacts were destroyed, which means their methods of entering the Chaos Grave were fundamentally wrong,” Ethan took a deep breath.
