Mrs. and Mr. Smith-Chapter 2457 - 2455: Targeting the Academy

In the vast Holy Region, the elite demon race had to hide in the Azure Rock Forest to survive.

Now, the time has come for a reshuffle.

...

"Ethan Smith, I have something to discuss with you."

Kennedi Evans walked up to Ethan Smith, seeming somewhat hesitant.

"What is it? Just say it directly."

Ethan Smith smiled and said, "Kennedi is practically his benefactor. Even if it meant climbing a mountain of swords or plunging into a sea of fire, he would attempt it."

"I want to ask you to save the remaining clansmen in Purgatory. You know I have arranged many methods in the Moon Pavilion, and many clansmen have hidden their identities to infiltrate various parts of Purgatory to gather intelligence. However, many returned thinking disaster wouldn’t spread so fast, and so they stayed in Purgatory. But now, with the demon calamity rampaging, many clansmen have already died, and the rest live in fear of death."

Kennedi Evans said with a bitter smile, knowing that Purgatory is extremely dangerous now.

Moreover, many ancestors of the Holy Region have returned, and the Hominini influence in Purgatory is very weak now. Even with Ethan Smith’s current strength, it could be perilous.

"Go—Kennedi Evans, your clansmen must be saved. I’ve benefited from the Jones Family’s treasures; naturally, I must return this favor."

Ethan Smith agreed almost without hesitation.

"Now, every place the Demon clan occupies in Purgatory, women are kept as breeding tools, children as meat, and men and corpses are used in sacrificial rituals for the Demonic Heavenly Path. This can no longer be described merely as brutal."

Kennedi Evans looked very distressed, having heard brief messages from her clansmen.

The sounds recorded in those messages left her sleepless for several nights.

"The Demon clan is inherently evil. In the Demon World, there’s no concept of human emotions. Nearly all demons are extremely brutal, emotionless, and greedy, devastating living beings, embodying darkness and evil. This dark power, inclusive of various negative emotions from living beings, is the source and strength of the Demonic Heavenly Path, the survival basis for the Demon clan. Amid chaos, the Demon clan’s strength bursts forth vigorously."

Elder Baker seemed to have a profound understanding of the Demon World and spoke to everyone present.

"The last demon I ate was so disgusting! Just thinking about it makes me sick!"

Salena Carpenter’s face turned pale, retching.

"Who told you to eat it? That stuff is creepy just to look at, and only you would have the guts to try it."

Frederick Cohen said while pushing Salena Carpenter aside.

Seeing everyone grasp the situation, Kennedi Evans continued.

"There’s also another matter, about the Rex Sword Ethan mentioned earlier. This Blazing Sword is a relic of my forebear from the Jones Family. If we retrieve my ancestor’s Rex Sword now, there might be a chance. Otherwise, once the Demon clan establishes a foundation, it will be tough to reclaim it."

This Blazing Sword was left by the ancestors; regardless of the reason, it must be retrieved.

Moreover, she worried about one crucial point—if Purgatory is truly occupied by the Demon clan,

and the ancestral treasure Mystic Realm gets discovered, won’t the relics left by the ancestors fall into the hands of demons? This is something she doesn’t want to see.

Ethan Smith nodded. When he encountered the Rex Sword earlier, he felt he couldn’t resist its power.

Now that his cultivation has risen considerably, perhaps he can truly collect the Rex Sword.

"Also, now is a great time; many Homini across the Holy Region have gathered to hunt demons in Purgatory, reducing the risk significantly if we go together."

Kennedi Evans had always excelled in intelligence work, and even in the Holy Region, she still received information from her informants in Purgatory.

Even Ethan Smith didn’t know by what means she gathered information.

"Among the cultivators within Hominini, there are still a few with grand perspectives. With several trillion Hominini in Purgatory, if they were all sacrificed by the demon, just imagine the extent of the power boost for the demons."

Ethan Smith frowned. He had previously battled demons in Purgatory.

These demons didn’t seem to have much understanding of the Path of Heaven but had peculiar sacrificial rituals.

As long as Homini were sacrificed, they could receive a baptism of the Power of Heavenly Path, thereby continuously increasing their strength.

This meant that as long as the Demon clan kept fighting, their overall power would keep strengthening.

Returning to the Holy Region, he hadn’t seen any demons for some while and wondered about their power now in Purgatory.

"Since it’s decided, let’s head to Purgatory, but there are some matters to resolve beforehand."

A shadow of Ken Middleton appeared in Ethan Smith’s mind; if he saw Hominini suffering, he too would risk everything to help...

Ethan Smith moved swiftly toward the Thunder Courtyard.

Amidst the thunder, Ethan Smith transformed into a Thunder Dragon and suddenly appeared in the Thunder Courtyard.

Qadir Walters, Huxley Walters, Lucian Walters, Quenby Jenkins, Ella Jenkins, and other Supreme Elders arrived almost immediately sensing the aura.

At this moment, their faces uniformly showed a grave expression, in stark contrast to their expressions from days prior.

Even Qadir Walters didn’t expect, after Ethan Smith’s excursion in the Ghost World, he would acquire the Judge’s Pen, a divine artifact of the Ghost World.

And after absorbing the terrifying Divine Soul Power of the Northern Underworld Divine Skill, Ethan Smith’s powers have steadily reached the Crossing Tribulation Third Layer, the depth of Divine Soul Power.

Plus, with his uncanny Skill Technique and the Judge’s Pen, he could threaten him.

Most frighteningly, there’s also the Immortal Emperor Corpse revived by the Green family, restoring one soul.

"What do you want, Ethan Smith?"

Quenby Jenkins shouted with anger.

"If you don’t want to die, shut up."

Ethan Smith gave him a cold glance, the Evil Eye already in his hands.

Dark brown Divine Soul Power enveloped him instantly, freezing Quenby Jenkins to the bone.

He felt like he was being watched by Death, one misstep might trigger an overwhelming attack from Ethan Smith.

His throat bobbed a few times, finally not daring to utter a sound.

Seeing Qadir Walters retreat in defeat, he dared not gamble that Ethan Smith was bluffing.

"That’s more like it, you wimp."

Frederick Cohen coldly sneered, unwilling to give any face to this guy.

"Ethan Smith, did you come to the Thunder Courtyard just to humiliate people?"

Quenby Jenkins asked sharply.

"Old witch, stop talking nonsense. If I didn’t have the Immortal Emperor’s corpse in hand, our current predicament would be far worse than shame, wouldn’t it?"

Ethan Smith coldly laughed.

"I’m not here today for any of you. You’re not worthy."

He turned and walked towards Edwin Garner and Ella Jenkins.

"Dean, Ella Jenkins, I’m planning to head to Purgatory. Before that, I want to ask if you’d like to join me."

"Ethan Smith, we’ll go with you. The Thunder Courtyard has completely changed, so staying here isn’t worth it."
