Reilly Blair said solemnly, “That’s right.”
Hearing Jim Cobb’s name, a sneer appeared on Dexter Blair’s face.
“With Mr. Cobb taking action, Ethan Smith is as good as dead!” Dexter Blair said coldly.
Jim Cobb’s strength was unfathomable, and he was extremely cunning.
It was said that decades ago, he had the opportunity to compete with the likes of Jackson Harris, but for some reason, he suddenly chose to go into hiding.
Now, he had come out of seclusion for Ethan Smith!
…
Ethan Smith had been waiting in Cango City for three days, but Joshua Hess never left the Great Saint Sect.
This also caused Ethan Smith to miss the opportunity to go to the Spiritual Spring again.
“It seems like there is no chance to draw from the Spiritual Spring anymore,” Ethan Smith thought.
With that in mind, he decided to let it go for now.
After all, the Spiritual Spring was there, and no one could take it away.
“I must find a way to open that gap as soon as possible,” Ethan Smith thought secretly.
As long as he could open that gap, Ethan Smith had full confidence in stepping into the Military Marquis Realm!
That day, Ethan Smith set off to return directly to Green Moon Villa.
At the same time, he notified Polly Reeves and called all the members of Green Moon Villa back.
Not only that, but Ethan Smith also posted a notice on the Martial Arts Forum, revealing the location of Green Moon Villa!
“As long as you have strength, Green Moon Villa will let you live with dignity!”
“All members of Green Moon Villa can get a top-grade Elixir!”
Countless slogans were posted on the Martial Arts Forum.
“Mr. Smith, won’t the people from the Great Saint Sect come to us again?” Polly Reeves couldn’t help but ask.
Ethan Smith glanced at Polly Reeves and said, “They will.”
“Then… Aren’t we courting death by coming back?” Polly Reeves furrowed her eyebrows worriedly.
Ethan Smith sighed, but said nothing.
The Great Saint Sect had already set their sights on the Iceheart Lake, and they would come sooner or later.
Ethan Smith didn’t plan to leave this time; he wanted to confront Joshua Hess directly.
Only in this way could Polly Reeves feel the sense of crisis and tell Ethan Smith the method to open the gap willingly.
In the following days, the long-deserted Green Moon Villa welcomed countless new people.
These people came by reputation, and in just a few days, the number of Green Moon Villa members reached almost a hundred!
Such a rapid growth left everyone dumbfounded!
Even Ethan Smith never expected his appeal to be so strong!
“Mr. Smith, I counted, and there are at least fifty people coming to sign up today!” Polly Reeves said excitedly.
Ethan Smith took a sip of tea and smiled faintly, “This is just the beginning.”
Polly Reeves looked extremely excited; she never thought her Beaufort Tower would experience such a day.
That night, Ethan Smith didn’t sleep at all.
He spent the entire night refining a batch of pills.
These pills were called Divine Energy Pills, and their effects were extremely overbearing, allowing a martial artist below the realm of Military Marquis to directly advance by a small level!
On the next day, Ethan Smith, with bloodshot eyes, handed the Divine Energy Pills to Polly Reeves.
“Mr. Smith, what happened to you? Why does your face look so bad?” Polly Reeves exclaimed.
Ethan Smith didn’t answer the question, but handed a large bag of Divine Energy Pills to Polly Reeves.
“Distribute these pills, one for each person, and tell them that there will be a continuous supply of pills in the future,” Ethan Smith said.
Polly Reeves accepted the pills, her heart aching somewhat.
“Mr. Smith, you’ve worked hard. You… you should go and get some rest,” Polly Reeves said.
Ethan Smith waved his hand, but did not choose to rest. Instead, he went straight to the Iceheart Lake, returning to the bottom of the lake to absorb qi from the gap again.After the pills were distributed, Green Moon Villa instantly burst with excitement!
“Mr. Smith really didn’t deceive us!”
“Divine Energy Pill! I never thought that even I, a Grandmaster, would have the chance to obtain a Divine Energy Pill!”
“Mr. Smith is awesome!”
The crowd shouted in unison. Not only that, Ethan Smith also invited them to cultivate at Iceheart Lake.
Such resources were undoubtedly astonishing.
You should know that Iceheart Lake was on par with the Spiritual Spring in the Great Saint Sect!
But the Great Saint Sect’s Spiritual Spring was only available to martial artists with high potential. Mediocre people had no chance to use it!
In Green Moon Villa, however, everyone was equal, and everyone could enjoy Iceheart Lake!
At that moment, the Martial Arts Forum was full of people discussing this matter.
Many martial artists who were initially on the fence also began to head towards Green Moon Villa!
Some even chose to leave the Great Saint Sect, and come to Green Moon Villa!
In just one week, Green Moon Villa had become extremely prosperous, with over three hundred members!
Although their individual strength was not top-notch, their combined force could not be underestimated!
Some were happy, and some were worried.
At this moment, Joshua Hess’s expression was sullen, his anger palpable.
“Green Moon Villa…” Joshua Hess murmured the name.
In the next second, he looked at Toby Bacchus and coldly said, “Go summon all the half-step Martial Marquises in the Great Saint Sect, as well as the Peak Form of Grandmasters.”
“Spread the word; give Green Moon Villa three days to disband. Otherwise, the Great Saint Sect will launch a full-scale attack and crush Green Moon Villa!”
Toby Bacchus dared not say any more and quickly nodded, “Yes, master.”
The news from the Great Saint Sect came out that very day.
As Ethan Smith walked out of Iceheart Lake, Polly Reeves rushed in front of him, her face full of panic.
Holding her cell phone, she said, “Mr. Smith, th-it’s not good!”
“What’s wrong?” Ethan Smith glanced at her.
Polly Reeves handed her cell phone to Ethan Smith, saying, “The Great Saint Sect has given us three days to disband, otherwise… They will crush Green Moon Villa!”
There were no great waves on Ethan Smith’s face. Everything was under his control.
“Now everyone in Green Moon Villa is in chaos. After hearing this news, many want to leave the Green Moon Villa…” Polly Reeves clenched her lips tightly, speaking softly.
Ethan Smith spread his hands, “What can we do about it? The Great Saint Sect has a Military Marquis as their backbone. We’re not their match.”
“Th-what do we do?” Polly Reeves was at her wit’s end.
Ethan Smith sighed, “I don’t know. We’ll have to take things one step at a time.”
“If worse comes to worst… we can only disband Green Moon Villa. We can’t just let so many innocent people die.” Ethan Smith said.
“Besides… The Great Saint Sect has always wanted Iceheart Lake.”
As he said this, Ethan Smith looked at Polly Reeves and asked, “By the way, don’t you have any descendants?”
Polly Reeves frowned, “I’m not married yet. Where would I get descendants… ”
“Well, when you die, Iceheart Lake will inevitably fall into the hands of the Great Saint Sect.” Ethan Smith sighed faintly.
After saying that, Ethan Smith turned and walked away.
Polly Reeves’s expression became extremely ugly.
These past few days, she had been immersed in the excitement of the rise of Green Moon Villa. She naturally couldn’t bear the thought of disbanding now.
What’s more… Ethan Smith was right.
If she died, Iceheart Lake would become unclaimed property. Would her years of guarding the inheritance be destroyed by her own hands?
As she thought about this, Polly Reeves’s face grew even darker.
She clenched her lips so tightly that a trickle of blood seeped from her lips.
“Rather than giving Iceheart Lake to the Great Saint Sect, it’s better to entrust it to Mr. Smith.” Polly Reeves seemed to have made a difficult decision.
