Mrs. and Mr. Smith-Chapter 2422 - 2420: Signs of Chaotic Times

Edwin Garner glanced at Ethan Smith, his face indecipherable with happiness or worry.

"What you’ve done has already stirred a huge storm in the Holy Region. By now, your name must have already made waves there. However, this matter is not simple."

Edwin Garner sighed deeply.

"Is Dean Garner talking about Impermanence?"

"Yes, the disciple Impermanence from the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, one of the Four Sects and Four Gates, targeted you for elimination, which is a huge trouble. Moreover, other aristocratic families along with the Hodge family are starting to recognize your threat too. We cannot let our guard down."

On one hand, Edwin Garner was pleased with Ethan Smith’s growth, but on the other hand, he felt that the pressure Ethan Smith was currently facing was too great.

"There’s no way to avoid trouble that seeks us out; let’s put that aside for now. By the way, Dean, has Emily had her breakthrough?"

Ethan Smith quickly asked.

"Not yet, but for Emily, this is rather a good thing. The longer she accumulates over time, the longer she can wander in the Sea of Heavenly Dao after her breakthrough. Her foundation will probably be much higher than others."

Ella Jenkins looked at those dense tribulation clouds, nodding’s head instead.

The final stage of the Tribulation Crossing Power involves leveraging the power of roaming the Sea of Space to temper the body and Divine Soul, allowing one to reach the best state after advancing into the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

Daniel Wilson had started his seclusion seventy years ago and began his breakthrough after the arrival of the Golden Age. He still hasn’t completed his tribulation, so many believe he will be the top person transcending tribulation in the Holy Region in the future.

During this period, countless individuals in the Holy Region have had their breakthroughs, like Ella Jenkins, Dean Garner, Finlay Taylor, Ji Liuhe, and others. They had already accumulated enough time, and their breakthroughs happened naturally.

Moreover, countless rogue cultivators and clan members from sect families have also broken through.

The Human Era in the Path of Heaven, although later than the other three races, equally blooms with many powerful individuals emerging from seclusion.

"Dean Garner, regarding the Four Sects, Four Gates, and Two Saints, which schools exactly are they? Why haven’t I heard of them before?"

"The Four Sects, Four Gates, and Two Saints consist of major sects that have developed independent spaces. Unlike the Monohorse Halls, their sects rarely appear in the secular world. The sects include Tianyan Sect, Xuantian Sword Sect, Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, Tianmo Sect; the gates are Shen Yi Gate, Fengqing Gate, Ling Beast Gate, Shennong Gate. And the two saints are Kunlun and Shenzhao, two major holy places."

Edwin Garner slowly recounted these sects, seemingly reluctant to mention these sect gates.

Once these sects appear in the world, it implies that turbulent times have arrived, and these sects would send out their disciples to traverse the world.

The appearance of a disciple from the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect already signifies that chaotic times are inevitably approaching.

"When Impermanence appeared, he was accompanied by a little Loli with two red ponytails tied up high, barefoot, and seemingly a drunkard, as she appeared quite intoxicated."

Ethan Smith suddenly remembered that strange girl and took this opportunity to ask Dean Garner.

"Ethan Smith, she didn’t attack you, did she?"

Both Ella Jenkins and Edwin Garner’s faces changed drastically.

"No, she directly took the Bing Evil Eye Ghost Sword, and the power of the Evil Eye couldn’t even shake her. I feel that her power might even be more terrifying than Impermanence from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect."

"People from that sect do not like others discussing them, so we won’t talk much about it. Ethan Smith, if you encounter her again, you must absolutely not offend her."

Ella Jenkins’s expression was unusually serious.

Subsequently, Ethan Smith recounted in full the details of his trip to Peach Blossom Island.

Even though the two of them had known some news in advance, they were still so shocked they couldn’t speak for a long while.

"It’s a pity for the Holmes Royal Family. In recent Heavenly Dao Years, many have found it odd how a royal family could decline so much, but the Ji Family’s actions were too covert, and no one discovered the arrangements made by the Ji Family. Back then, there were several individuals with powerful Divine Souls who went to investigate but ultimately died in accidents. Now, it seems likely that it was the Ji Family’s doing."

Dean Garner took a deep breath.

If the Ji Family were to employ these methods against Thunder Courtyard, he really wasn’t sure if he could handle it.

"The witchcraft ways of the Ji Family are too mysterious. Hence, for so many years, even the strongest aristocratic families have turned a blind eye to some of the Ji Family’s inhuman acts. But who could have thought they would be so bitterly cruel."

Ella Jenkins also sighed upon hearing this, as they were already aware of the information provided by Kennedi Evans.

"Let’s not talk about these things anymore."

Ethan Smith made a gesture, pulling both of them into the Sumeru Ring to show them a few things.

"Dean Garner, Ella Jenkins, these items were all obtained from the Ji Family. Take these with you, and expedite the enhancement of the strength of Thunder Courtyard’s members."

Ethan Smith moved his hands, passing all the items to Edwin Garner. Thunder Courtyard had many members, and there was even greater demand for Pills and Magic Weapons. If a Crossing Tribulation Cultivator could get a suitable Magic Weapon, their strength could possibly increase by at least thirty percent.

Moreover, now that there was a Spirit River in the Sumeru Ring, the Qingling Tree could absorb nearby spiritual energy.

A good cycle had already been formed, thus the demand for these Pills was actually not that great.

"I, Ethan Smith, won’t refuse. I will take half of these items, and you keep the rest."

Edwin Garner also didn’t stand on ceremony with Ethan Smith, pushing back half of the Pills and herbs to him.

He then selected ten Tribulation Crossing Artifacts from them and didn’t take the other items.

"These are the more suitable magical artifacts, we don’t need the others."

"This Evil Eye can harness the power of Ghost World, and the blade even seems to contain the will of the Fengdu Ghost Emperor. Luckily you obtained the Five Emperor Coins of Ji Clan, otherwise, this thing would be far from beneficial. This Blazing Sword might attract coveting from many, including the Four Sects and Four Gates. If there are sufficient solutions, try not to use this object."

Ella Jenkins stared intently at the Evil Eye, merely touching it with her consciousness for an instant.

She then felt an overwhelming Power of Darkness trying to assimilate her Divine Soul; further contact might cause her spirit to collapse outright.

Ethan Smith activated the power of the Five Emperors, and a surge of Haoran Righteous Qi fiercely entered Ella Jenkins’ body.

Ella Jenkins managed to snap out of it then, as those with greater strength touching the power of the Evil Eye would find it more difficult to counteract.

"Ella Jenkins, what level is this Ghost Sword actually at; such a formidable object must be at the Crossing Tribulation Peak, right?" Kennedi Evans asked curiously.

Kennedi Evans’ identity was also known to Ella Jenkins and Edwin Garner.

At that time, to preserve the Ji Family Bloodline, Thunder Courtyard exerted tremendous effort, allowing their remaining bloodline to go to Purgatory; hence, Kennedi Evans greatly respected them both.

"If a normal person of Hominini uses this Ghost Sword, it would suppress their own strength. Ethan Smith can utilize it owing to another Dark Divine Sense, as well as the Five Emperor Coins and the Heart of the Thunder Emperor. If a living being from Ghost World were to get this Ghost Sword, it could even be considered a powerful Celestial Artifact, its power dependent on whether it can be fully harnessed."
