Chapter 553: Chapter 553: Undermining the Foundation_1

Upon hearing this, Toby Bacchus’s face changed slightly, and his heart was greatly shocked!

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.

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!”
