Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 271: 271: Clare Richardson ‘s Pain_l

The others looked at them with a hint of pity in their eyes.

“It should be these two,” one of the old men said.

“Hmm, but which one specifically?” the other old man frowned slightly.

The two of them looked at Clare and Maya, seemingly unable to make a decision for a moment.

However, at this moment, Maya suddenly pointed at Clare and said, “It’s definitely her, definitely her, it has nothing to do with me. If you want to catch someone, catch her!”

Hearing Maya’s words, Clare’s pupils shrank, her face full of disbelief.

For a moment, she couldn’t believe that these words had come out of Maya’s mouth!

“Clare, just admit it. Back then, Anthony Hansen was after you, it has nothing to do with me…” Maya stammered.

“Elders…oh no, grandpas, it was Clare that you wanted to capture back then, not me, wah wah wah, don’t come after me…’

The two old men seemed thoughtful, and after glancing at Clare, they nodded and said, “It should be her.”

Having said that, the two men walked over and easily grabbed Clare.

Clare still hadn’t come back to her senses from the shock.

She stared at Maya intently, her heart inevitably feeling heavy.

Her best friend actually said such a thing at a time like this.

It was impossible not to feel distressed.

The two old men took Clare out of the dungeon and brought her to the entrance of a cave.

Upon entering the cave, they saw an array of various instruments inside.

Aside from that, there were countless snakes, insects, blood, and corpses.

At the very front, there was a huge array platform!

In the center of the platform lay a young man’s corpse!

Adrien Bauer sat beside the corpse!

Seeing this scene, Clare was terrified, shivering uncontrollably.

“Sect Leader, we’ve brought the person,” the two old men brought Clare over.

Adrien’s eyes suddenly turned to Clare!

The clever look in his eyes almost made Clare cry!

“Tsk tsk, so this is the pure dark energy body…” Adrien licked his lips and said.

“It’s really well-deserved! Well-deserved! ” Adrien couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

An elderly man beside Adrien spoke in a deep voice, “With the pure dark energy body, reviving the ancient ancestor should not be an issue.”

“Indeed,” Adrien nodded slightly.

His eyes narrowed and he said coldly, “It’s just a pity that the statue is still in

Ethan Smith’s hands…”

“Ethan Smith? The chaotic bodv vou were talking about?” the elder beside him

asked.

Adrien squinted and said, “Yes.”

“If we could use the chaotic body to revive the ancient ancestor, he would be invincible in the world!” Adrien said coldly.

As he said this, a trace of anger flashed across Adrien’s face.

He took a deep breath and said, “It’s just a pity that we can’t subdue Ethan Smith for now, so we’ll have to temporarily use the holy body.”

The holy body was the male corpse lying in the center of the platform.

Originally, this corpse was prepared for Adrien himself.

Unfortunately, since they couldn’t find a better body to revive the ancient ancestor, they had to reluctantly give up the holy body.

“It’s all because of Ethan Smith that the resurrection plan has been delayed for so long! If we had the statue, the ancient ancestor would have been resurrected long ago!” Adrien said angrily.

“Once the ancient ancestor is revived, we won’t have to cower in fear hiding in this place!”

As Adrien spoke, his anger grew, and he couldn’t help but emit an aura of terror.

Under this aura, the entire valley was buzzing!

Clare was even more shaken, blood streaming from her seven orifices and her face deathly pale.

“It doesn’t matter, once the ancient ancestor is revived, we can go and seize Ethan Smith’s body then,” the elder beside him said.

Adrien nodded, and said solemnly, “We have no other choice.”

“Sect leader, we better not waste any more time, lest there be any changes,” someone reminded from the side.

Adrien nodded and whispered, “Everyone assemble, activate the resurrection formation!”

As soon as his words fell, the eight elders flew into the air, sitting in the eight positions of the formation!

As for Clare, she was brought to a melting furnace.

The furnace was extremely cold; the moment it touched Clare, it felt like it was going to drain her body!

Clare only felt extreme pain, suffering intense agony all over her body!

The freezing cold made Clare’s consciousness a little blurry.

However, the powerful desire to survive still made her hold onto her consciousness resolutely.

“I don’t want to die…” Clare murmured softly, her lips white and cold air escaping from her slightly moving mouth.

“Formation, arise!” Adrien roared, and the eight elders activated their techniques simultaneously!

The entire formation burst into a spectacular light in an instant!

Its brilliance penetrated the valley and shot into the sky!

As the formation was activated, the dark energy within Clare’s body was rapidly drained!

This kind of pain was unbearable even for Ethan Smith, let alone Clare!

“It hurts so much…so much…” tears continuously flowed from Clare’s eyes.

She wanted to struggle, but found that she had no strength in her body.

“Ethan, when will you finally come to save me…” Clare’s face was full of despair, and her vision began to darken.

“It seems…l’m really going to die here…” Clare couldn’t bear it anymore; her eyelids fluttered, and the light in her eyes dimmed.

Just as Clare was about to lose consciousness, a blade’s aura suddenly rose from the sky, splitting the valley!

The cave was directly cleaved apart by the sword qi, creating a huge gap! But the terrifying sword qi didn’t dissipate. Instead, it fell towards the resurrection formation!

“Not good!” Adrien’s face changed, and he flew into the air to avoid it!

The eight elders didn’t dare to be negligent either, and almost at the same time, they shot to the side!

The formation came to a halt at that moment.

Adrien’s face was icy cold, his chest filled with anger!

“Who dares to ruin my Earth Fiend Valley’s revival plan?!” Adrien roared, his voice shaking the heavens!

“Adrien, I didn’t expect you to be hiding in such a place.” Ethan Smith’s voice came from the entrance.

Adrien’s pupils contracted, and he hurriedly looked at the entrance!

As expected, Ethan Smith and Conrad Schroeder stood coldly at the doorway.

“Ethan Smith?” Adrien couldn’t help but be surprised, and then burst into laughter.

“Ethan Smith, I’ve been worrying about not being able to kill you, but I didn’t expect you to deliver yourself to me! Hahaha!” Adrien couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

Ethan Smith sneered, “Adrien, you’re at death’s door, yet you still manage to laugh?”

“The one who’s going to die is you!” Adrien said coldly.

“With your strength, you dare to break into my Earth Fiend Valley?”

“Adrien, you almost killed my son. Today, I’ll make you pay with your life!” Conrad’s hair danced wildly, a murderous spirit enveloped him!

Adrien squinted and said, ‘With just the two of you? An Inner Strength Master and a newly-promoted Grandmaster?”
