Mrs. and Mr. Smith-Chapter 2426 - 2424: Return of the Walters Family Ancestors

Chapter 2426: Chapter 2424: Return of the Walters Family Ancestors

Edwin Garner explained the current situation to Qingye, noting that those who could break through to the Second Level of Tribulation Crossing were almost all renowned individuals.

People like Holy Lord Taylor, Acting Holy Lord Chad Wilson, Edwin Garner himself, and Ella Jenkins among others. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

If they were to remain in seclusion for a period, advancing to the Third Level of Tribulation with Divine Soul touching the bottom would naturally follow.

"It might also be due to the decline of the Human Clan’s Heavenly Dao, with the Power of Heavenly Dao now being plundered by Different Races, causing the promotion speed of the human race to slow down considerably."

Edwin Garner shared his suspicion, a judgment he might not have made had he been alone.

But considering there are many naturally talented individuals among the human race, and currently, The Chosen One, Teng Zixu, only seems to possess the power of the Third Level, this indicates certain issues.

"Hahaha, Edwin Garner, aren’t you overstating things? I think the Holy Region is too complacent, everyone is like flowers in a greenhouse, lacking pressure which leads to their low cultivation. I was also born in this Heavenly Dao Year, and I’ve been through trials in the Blood Sea. Even in Purgatory where the Heavenly Dao is absent, I’ve now reached the peak of Second Level of Tribulation Crossing Divine Soul, and soon I’ll step into the Third Level."

The young man next to Hua Qianjie shook his head and chuckled, completely disagreeing with what Edwin Garner had said.

He directly addressed Dean Garner by his title, but the three people around him did not object.

Because he is Hua Zhikong, the son of Hua Qianjie, and in terms of seniority, he is of the same generation as Edwin Garner.

However, this behavior seemed somewhat sharp to the people of Thunder Academy.

Dean Garner, who has managed Thunder Academy over the years, is very caring to all disciples, like a warm and amiable elder.

He has done his best to help the disciples who entered Thunder Academy, even mobilizing celestial artifacts to confront Monohorse Hall for Ethan Smith, and now to be rebuked by such an unknown young man, many faces showed signs of anger.

"What, do you have an issue with me?"

Hua Zhikong suddenly lifted his hand, and a disciple from Ethereal Peak was pulled into his grasp.

Pa!

With a crisp sound, his dantian was directly destroyed, his meridians ravaged by violent spiritual energy, completely crippling him.

The surroundings immediately burst into horrified cries; it was unexpected for Hua Zhikong to suddenly make a move, especially one that severed the future of a Peak form of True Saint Realm disciple belonging to the same faction.

Ethan Smith and Salena Carpenter exchanged glances, also feeling that this person was too ruthless.

The most important element of a sect is the people’s heart; if the people’s heart disperses, who would still be willing to fight desperately for the sect?

"Hmph, if anyone has complaints against me, feel free to challenge me at any time, but if you don’t have the strength, just keep your tails between your legs, do you all understand?"

Hua Zhikong lightly laughed, tossing the disciple from Ethereal Peak out like trash.

The peak master of Ethereal Peak caught him with a complicated expression, while the disciple let out heart-wrenching screams of agony, his face full of immense pain.

Millennia of cultivation, destroyed in a moment, he could only live as a normal person henceforth, something utterly unacceptable.

"Uncle Master Hua Qianjie, this..."

Edwin Garner furrowed his brow, just about to speak but was stopped by Hua Qianjie.

"What Zhikong said is not wrong, in the near future, you will experience even more brutal invasions by Different Races, survival of the fittest will be the law. Moreover, people from Thunder Academy have shown killing intentions towards their seniors, they deserve to die! To spare his life is already merciful."

Hua Qianjie’s face was expressionless, as if he had just discarded a completely insignificant ant.

"I heard that someone in Thunder Academy has received the inheritance of the immortal grave?"

Lei Huan suddenly raised his slightly squinted eyes, asking seemingly unintentionally.

"Yes, my elder, my disciple Ethan Smith has received the inheritance from Immortal Emperor Eden Garner."

Edwin Garner’s heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself that this was not good.

This information should have been known to his elders already, yet they specifically asked again, could it be that they had some intentions?

"So, the person who received the inheritance is you, right?"

Lei Huan’s gaze suddenly rested on Ethan Smith. His face was expressionless, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.

"Yes, my great elder, I have received the inheritance from Immortal Emperor Eden Garner."

Ethan Smith bowed slightly, performing his respects thoroughly.

"You should know that our Thunder Courtyard has rules, the inheritance from the immortal grave must go to a core disciple who has the blood of the Walters family."

"Uncle Lei Huan, the last wish left by Immortal Emperor Eden Garner was for the inheritance to go to those within the Thunder Courtyard who are capable of receiving it."

Edwin Garner said, taking the plunge.

"How audacious!"

A crisp thundering sound suddenly exploded in the space, and Edwin Garner was violently blasted away, his chest blackened, and then he struggled to stand up and violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Lei Huan stared at Ethan Smith, a mountainous pressure bearing down as if intending to force Ethan to kneel.

A tremendous force spread under Ethan’s feet, numerous fine cracks appearing in the solid black rock, quickly extending to a kilometer away in a few moments, but Ethan remained unfazed, as if he did not feel the terrifying pressure.

"Your strength is barely acceptable. Hand over the Heart of the Thunder Emperor, of course, there will be compensation. I will pass on to you a Heavenly Grade Technique and reward you with a Tribulation Stage magical artifact."

Hua Zhikong came over with a smile.

"Uncle, the Heart of the Thunder Emperor integrated with my Divine Soul after I received the inheritance."

Ethan Smith truthfully declared.

Hua Zhikong’s expression changed; he looked at Hua Qianjie to confirm that what Ethan Smith said was true, and his face suddenly turned extremely grim.

Originally, in their plan, obtaining the Heart of the Thunder Emperor was a necessity, as it would vastly aid them in understanding the rules of the Thunder Emperor in the future.

But unexpectedly, the Heart of the Thunder Emperor had autonomously integrated with Ethan Smith’s Divine Soul.

"Uncle, Ethan Smith is a directly transmitted disciple of Edwin Garner, and he is extremely loyal to Thunder Courtyard. His talents are also considered top-notch, and when the great chaos descends, he will surely become a pillar of support for our Thunder Courtyard."

Ella Jenkins came to Hua Qianjie’s side and spoke softly.

"Recently, Ethan Smith alone annihilated the Ji Family, killing almost all of their top combatants. The majority of the Ji Family’s resources were gathered by him and proactively handed over to the Thunder Courtyard; these resources will surely cultivate a batch of frightfully talented cultivators soon!"

Edwin Garner was also discussing with the two elders.

"I heard he only handed over half."

Hua Zhikong sneered.

Edwin Garner was startled sharply, and it took him a few seconds to recover.

"Yes, I decided to return half back. The Thunder Courtyard hardly contributed to this affair; it was primarily thanks to Ethan Smith’s solo effort in annihilating the Ji Family."

"As a member of the Thunder Courtyard, handing over the spoils is expected, then redistribution can be done afterward. Otherwise, why would Immortal Emperor Eden Garner leave behind the immortal grave? Why would the predecessors of the Walters family establish the Thunder Courtyard? Is it to let outsiders take advantage?"

Hua Qianjie sneered as he looked at Ethan Smith.
