Mrs. and Mr. Smith

On the way, both Ethan Smith and the man with the mustache were extremely excited.

The man with the mustache kept muttering, “A skull from a mighty realm cultivator is bound to make a top-notch weapon!”

Ethan Smith couldn’t help feeling a little annoyed that he hadn’t thought of it earlier.

Soon, they arrived in the Great Hall.

The skull they found before had shattered a portion, but if they searched carefully, they could still find a few pieces.

The two began a comprehensive search, and soon, Ethan Smith found a piece of skull on the ground.

He shouted eagerly, “I found it!”

The man with the mustache rushed to Ethan Smith’s side, excitedly saying, “This skull is mine!”

With that, he reached out to grab the skull.

However, as soon as the man with the mustache touched the skull, it crumbled to dust.

With a gust of wind, there was nothing left.

“What’s going on?” Ethan Smith’s eyebrows furrowed immediately.

A solemn look crossed the man with the mustache’s face.

He didn’t give up and continued to search for the skull.

But the results were the same for the following skulls they found, as soon as they touched them, they would fall apart.

“Why is this happening!” Ethan Smith’s face turned slightly pale.

The man with the mustache remained silent for a long while, not saying anything.

“Could it….be related to that body?” Ethan Smith recalled the body of the Immortal Slaying Sect leader.

After Ethan Smith touched the leader’s body, the bones began to shatter.

Now even the ones that hadn’t been broken were completely useless.

The man with the mustache sighed, muttered, “I got too excited, I knew mighty realm cultivator’s bones wouldn’t be so simple…”

Ethan Smith frowned, “What now?”

“What else can we do, just keep following me. After all, my goal isn’t the skull.” The man with the mustache spoke mysteriously.

Ethan Smith grabbed the man with the mustache, asking in a deep voice, “Then what is your goal?”

The man with the mustache opened his mouth, seemingly hesitant to tell Ethan Smith.

But a moment later, he waved his hand and said, “Fine, since you’re here, I’ll tell you.”

“The Immortal Slaying Sect claims to be the top sect in the world, and indeed, they own countless treasures.”

“However, my purpose for coming here isn’t for the Immortal Slaying Sect, but for a woman.”

Ethan Smith furrowed his brows, “A woman?”

The man with the mustache nodded, “The woman who destroyed the Immortal Slaying Sect!”

Hearing that, Ethan Smith remembered the masked woman!

He hurriedly looked at the man with the mustache and asked, “Do you know that woman well?”

“I wouldn’t say I know her well.” The man with the mustache replied.

“However, based on the information I’ve gathered over the years, that woman is definitely an unstoppable force in the world! The Immortal Slaying Sect means nothing to her.”

At this point, the man with the mustache paused, speaking mysteriously, “I have a feeling that she might have left some treasure here.”

“If it’s her treasure, the wealth of the Immortal Slaying Sect is nothing in comparison!”

“If I could get that woman’s mask…hehe, I’d be rich.”

The mask?

The mask that the man with the mustache spoke of was probably the one Clare Richardson had, right?

“Let’s go, we can’t waste any more time,” the man with the mustache said.

“If you can find that mask, I’ll give you all of the Immortal Slaying Sect’s treasures!”

Ethan Smith remained silent, but he knew that the man with the mustache wouldn’t get the mask today.

“I have to find a way to inform Clare Richardson, and make sure no one else finds out about the existence of that mask.” Ethan Smith thought to himself.The two continued on their journey, with the man with the mustache holding the Divine Plate, searching for the hidden treasure.

They didn’t know how much time had passed before the Divine Plate in his hand shone brightly once more.

This time the light was stronger than before, almost turning into a blinding heat.

This excited the man with the mustache! He grabbed Ethan Smith’s hand and excitedly said, “Do you see that? The dazzling light of the Divine Plate indicates that there must be unimaginable treasures here!”

Ethan Smith, however, was somewhat apprehensive and said, “Just don’t dig up another headless corpse.”

Ignoring Ethan Smith, the man with the mustache sat cross-legged on the ground and used his prior technique.

Bright light burst from the white ash in front of him.

Suddenly, the world around them started to buzz!

A few minutes later, a crack appeared on the ground!

“It’s really here!” The man with the mustache was so excited that he almost jumped for joy!

Expectation filled Ethan Smith’s eyes as well.

This was the Immortal Slaying Sect, the world’s number one sect thousands of years ago. Who knew what kind of foundations they had!

The crack grew bigger and bigger, eventually forming a massive gap.

Looking down into the gap, it seemed like a tomb chamber!

The tomb chamber was extremely exquisite, spacious, and seemingly endless at a glance.

The man with the mustache took out a lamp from his pocket and, with a serious face, said to Ethan Smith, “We don’t know whose tomb this is. If it’s the tomb of that woman, there must be great danger.”

Ethan Smith nodded and said, “Don’t worry; I’ll make sure to stay close to you.”

The man with the mustache waved his hand and said, “No, I mean you need to protect me.”

Ethan Smith: “…”

The two cautiously entered the tomb chamber.

The passage of the tomb chamber was extremely long, at least several hundred meters.

The deeper they went, the stronger the dark energy became.

This dark energy seemed to give Ethan Smith a sense of familiarity.

This… was very similar to the dark energy in the Huge Pit in Chuzzle! Its intensity was almost identical!

The man with the mustache shuddered and, with trembling lips, said, “I have a feeling… that something’s not right.”

At this moment, the man with the mustache hesitated and didn’t want to proceed.

Ethan Smith snatched the lamp and solemnly said, “Stay close to me.”

After that, Ethan Smith took the lead and walked deeper into the tomb chamber.

As expected, the dark energy intensified the deeper they went.

A large area of the tomb chamber was even covered in ice!

The walls of the tomb chamber were adorned with an icicle after another.

Ethan Smith broke off an icicle, tasted it, and then exclaimed, “This icicle is formed from the dark energy!”

In other words, the dark energy here was so concentrated that it condensed into water droplets.

And because the area was so cold, the water droplets formed from the dark energy froze directly into icicles!

“Such concentrated dark energy… is truly terrifying,” Ethan Smith said solemnly.

“I’ve been exploring tombs for so many years, and I’ve never seen such a concentrated dark energy…” the man with the mustache said with trembling lips.

Ethan Smith felt the same; the intensity of the dark energy here surpassed their imagination!

“Maybe… maybe we should just give up. This place might actually be the tomb of that woman,” the man with the mustache said, shivering all over.

Ethan Smith glanced at him and said, “How can you be so afraid?”

The man with the mustache swallowed and said, “Ethan, you don’t know how terrifying that woman is. From what I know, she’s a murderous demon. We can’t resist the traps she’s left behind…”

Ethan Smith laughed, “Don’t you have the pestle and alms bowl from the Western Buddhism? What’s there to be afraid of?”

Hearing this, the man with the mustache hurriedly placed the alms bowl on his head.

“Crack”

However, just at this moment, the alms bowl on the man with the mustache’s head shattered!
