Chapter 553: 553: Undermining the Foundation_1



The Great Saint Sect was currently hunting down Ethan Smith, but instead of running away, Ethan was eyeing the Great Saint Sect’s Spiritual Spring?

“Ethan, this Spiritual Spring is the foundation of the Great Saint Sect. I…I can’t take you there.” Toby Bacchus said with difficulty.

Ethan sneered, “Fine, then I’ll kill you. Anyway, there are plenty of people in the Great Saint Sect who are willing to do it.”

Toby Bacchus’s face instantly changed!

He knew Ethan’s strength well; as long as Joshua Hess wasn’t there, no one in the entire Great Saint Sect would be his opponent!

Just as Ethan had said, even if he didn’t do it himself, others would definitely do it!

Toby Bacchus’s face was dark and uncertain; after pondering for a moment, he clenched his teeth and then raised his head and asked, “Are you sure I can become the new sect master of the Great Saint Sect?”

“Certain,” Ethan said indifferently.

“Once Joshua Hess is dead, you will be the next sect master.”

Toby Bacchus clenched his teeth and said, “Fine! I agree!”

Ethan nodded in satisfaction, then patted Toby Bacchus on the shoulder and said, “Congratulations on making the right choice.”

Afterward, Ethan quickly disguised himself and followed behind Toby Bacchus, walking out of the Great Hall.

The two headed toward the Spiritual Spring.

Along the way, countless people greeted Toby Bacchus, and some unconsciously glanced at Ethan more than once.

Fortunately, Ethan had concealed his appearance, so he didn’t arouse too much suspicion.

After hundreds of meters, the two finally arrived at a waterfall.

As soon as they approached, Ethan felt a strong surge of qi coming at him!

Ethan couldn’t help exclaiming, “No wonder the Great Saint Sect has prospered for so long; this Spiritual Spring alone is enough to support the entire sect!”

The rich qi made Ethan’s heart race with excitement.

“Do we need to get rid of them?” Toby Bacchus asked.

Ethan shook his head and said, “There’s no need; driving them away would only arouse suspicion.”

Toby Bacchus agreed and said, “Alright, I’ll wait here.”

“Wait a moment,” Ethan suddenly called out to Toby Bacchus.

He raised his hand and pointed it at Toby Bacchus’s forehead, leaving a faint mark.

Toby Bacchus frowned, “What do you mean?”

Ethan said indifferently, “I’ve left a mark on your divine sense. If you dare to inform Joshua Hess, I’ll take your life immediately.”

Toby Bacchus’s face changed instantly, and he felt a sense of unease.

But things had already reached this point, there was no turning back.

“I understand,” Toby Bacchus took a deep breath and nodded in agreement.

There were more than ten people practicing near the Spiritual Spring.

They were bathing in the spring, using secret techniques to absorb the qi from within.

Not far away was a waterfall, where the water rushed rapidly but also contained the densest qi.

Ethan strode towards the waterfall.

Suddenly, his body shook, and his clothes tore apart.

He then sat cross-legged under the waterfall, allowing the water to pour down on him.

The water contained extremely strong qi, much denser than he had imagined.

Not only that, but the qi within the Spiritual Spring seemed endless and inexhaustible.

Ethan wasted no time; he closed his eyes and started cultivating.

The qi in the waterfall flowed through Ethan’s body and clung tightly to him.

Since Ethan was at the source of the qi, almost all of it was monopolized by him alone.

Those who had come to cultivate quickly noticed that something was wrong.

They could feel that the qi in the Spiritual Spring had become extremely thin and could almost be ignored.

They glanced at each other and then turned their gaze towards Ethan not far away.”How can he sit under the waterfall?”

“The rules of the Great Saint Sect clearly state that no one but the sect master may cultivate under the waterfall, right?”

“Who is that kid? Doesn’t he know the rules?”

The crowd turned simultaneously to Toby Bacchus and asked, “Elder Toby, who is that person sitting under the waterfall?”

“He’s virtually monopolizing the qi. How will we cultivate?”

Toby clenched his teeth in frustration.

He glanced at the crowd and said indifferently, “The sect master ordered this. They say he’s a genius the sect master brought back and the next Marquis of the Great Saint Sect.”

Upon hearing this, some couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, “The next Marquis? A second Marquis is appearing in the Great Saint Sect?!”

“Even if he could become the next Marquis, it shouldn’t be so overbearing…”

“I don’t think anyone in the Great Saint Sect has ever received such treatment before…”

Toby furrowed his brow and said irritably, “All of this was ordered by the sect master. If anyone is dissatisfied, take it up with her!”

Although the crowd was unwilling, they were left with no choice.

Almost all the qi in the Spiritual Spring was being absorbed by Ethan Smith, so there was little point in them staying around.

As a result, Ethan was soon left alone by the Spiritual Spring.

After the others had left, Ethan opened his eyes and looked at Toby with a furrowed brow, saying, “They won’t tell Joshua Hess about this, will they?”

Toby shook his head and replied, “No, the hierarchy of the Great Saint Sect is very strict. Not many people have access to Lord Hess.”

Despite what he said, Ethan still felt somewhat worried.

He had Toby keep people away so as to avoid drawing unnecessary attention.

But now, things were becoming more conspicuous.

“I must hurry,” thought Ethan to himself.

However, the speed at which he absorbed qi was limited and beyond his control.

Moreover, he couldn’t take the Spiritual Spring with him.

“I must reach the Military Marquis Realm before Joshua Hess notices,” thought Ethan.

He then continued to cultivate under the Three Pure Ancient Tree, absorbing qi.

Meanwhile, Joshua Hess had arrived at Green Moon Villa.

Standing at the entrance, he sneered, “Green Moon Villa, Ethan Smith, you have quite the nerve.”

With that, he waved a large hand and shattered the front gate!

Joshua strode into Green Moon Villa.

Standing on the plaza, he shouted, “Ethan Smith! Come out and face your death!”

His voice thundered, reverberating throughout the Villa!

However, there was no response from the vast Green Moon Villa.

Joshua’s brow furrowed, and upon releasing his divine sense, he discovered that there was not a single person in Green Moon Villa!

“Not a single person?” he frowned.

He instantly searched the entire Villa.

Indeed, there was not a single person in Green Moon Villa!

“Ethan Smith… isn’t here?” Joshua’s face darkened.

He snorted, “Fine, I’ll wait here for you and investigate this Iceheart Lake in the meantime.”

With that, Joshua strode towards Iceheart Lake.

Just then, his phone rang.

Picking it up, he saw the caller was Kylan Taylor!

Without delay, Joshua answered the call.

“Mr. Taylor,” he greeted respectfully.

However, Kylan from the other end cursed, “Joshua Hess, you’re a fucking idiot! Ethan Smith is right at your doorstep, yet you had no idea! Worthless, utterly worthless!”
