Chapter 741
"Halt!"
The leader raised his hand, turning toward the woman beside him. "Fourth Sister, is there any reaction from the Black Crystal Jade Token?"
"There is!"
A black, eight trigrams-shaped jade compass appeared in the woman's hand. A faint red speck of light surfaced upon it.
The woman's voice clearly belonged to the Moonfall Clan's Fourth Elder, Helena.
Led by Wilford, their group of thirteen had braved massive risks to secretly head to the Demon Caverns.
The Moonfall Clan had suffered disastrous losses. If they didn't seize this window period to obtain heaven and earth treasures, and secret divine abilities from the Demon Caverns, their clan's future would be incredibly grim!
"They truly did not go back on their word!"
"Great Elder, are we really going to cooperate with them?" Jason stepped forward and asked.
"We have no other choice. Cooperating with them is our only path forward."
"If Ethan does not die, our Moonfall Clan's future is deeply concerning."
"If they want the Emperor Form Diagrams, we will give them to them. Whether they can comprehend them or not is none of our concern."
"As long as they can help us kill Ethan, everything is worth it!"
Wilford clenched his fists, grinding his teeth. His gaze was incredibly vicious, and intense killing intent permeated his entire body.
"We will wait right here, they should be arriving soon," Wilford ordered.
However, right at that moment...
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Several sounds of tearing wind echoed through the canyon.
"No need to wait. I am already here."
Ethan floated in the air, followed by the other five. His tone was icy, and a playful smile surfaced on his face.
Wilford and the others turned toward the sound, freezing instantly. Their faces were filled with utter bewilderment and astonishment.
"How is this... possible?!"
"Eth... Ethan!"
"Why are you here?!"
Wilford and his group acted as if facing a mortal enemy, subconsciously taking a step back.
"What? Didn't you want to kill me? Now that I'm here, why aren't you making a move?" Ethan chuckled.
"How... how could you possibly know our whereabouts?!" Helena asked, glancing at the jade compass in her hand, attempting to stall for time until their allies arrived.
"Your Moonfall Clan's petty schemes cannot escape my eyes."
"Don't bother trying to stall for time. Since you're not going to make a move, then I will!" Ethan said indifferently.
Before his words faded, he vanished from his spot.
At the same time, his voice rang in Lunara and the others' ears. "End this quickly! Seal off all surrounding space! Keep everyone from the Moonfall Clan here!"
"Not good! Retreat immediately!"
Seeing Ethan and the others charging over, Wilford's expression turned drastically ugly.
He clearly sensed that Ethan had grown stronger. Not just a little bit stronger, but vastly stronger than before!
The current Ethan was simply not someone they could deal with!
Helena and the others used every trick in the book, madly fleeing forward.
But their speed was far inferior to Ethan's. In mere moments, he caught up.
Lunara and Vex followed closely behind, the three of them forming a pincer formation that completely sealed off all escape routes.
"Ethan, are you planning to completely ignore the agreement between Aaron Verdant and our Moonfall Clan?!"
"You intend to slaughter us all! Do not push things too far!" Wilford roared furiously, simultaneously transmitting a message.
"Hehe, that's not what you said when you wanted to kill me."
"Enough nonsense, it's time for all of you to hit the road!" Ethan replied impassively.
He extended his hand, terrifying fiery divine power rapidly condensed within his palm.
At the same time, an ancient clock drifted out from behind him.
He summoned the Chaos Clock without hesitation, intending to end this battle at the fastest possible speed!
"Go!"
The Chaos Clock descended directly from the heavens.
Its terrifying divine might completely immobilized Wilford and his group.
They could only watch helplessly as this ancient clock, radiating boundless power and an aura of profound vicissitudes, engulfed them.
"Ethan... kill us, and you will absolutely regret it!" Wilford roared, eyes glaring savagely.
But it was all futile.
The divine power within their bodies was completely sealed by the Chaos Clock's divine might.
Unable to move an inch, they could only seethe in incompetent rage.
"Suppress!"
"Refine!!"
Ethan violently clenched his fist. The Chaos Clock completely enveloped Wilford and the others.
...
Fifteen minutes later. At the edge of the Demon Caverns.
Ethan and the others stood upon a cliff face.
"We will rest and reorganize here for a bit, and wait for the Moonfall Clan's reinforcements to arrive," Ethan said.
Wilford and his entire group had fallen.
In Ethan's hand was the confiscated black jade compass.
This was clearly the spiritual artifact the Moonfall Clan used to communicate with their reinforcements.
Looking at the glowing speck on it, the backup was arriving soon.
Ethan, who was resting with his eyes closed, abruptly opened them. He looked behind him, his expression suddenly turning grave.
"This aura..."
"Onyx Orchid, do you feel it?" Ethan murmured in his heart, gazing into the distance.
"I feel it."
"It's a mask!"
"The third mask has appeared!" Onyx Orchid's voice surfaced in Ethan's mind.
This time, even Onyx Orchid's expression grew solemn, losing his usual casual demeanor.
"I didn't expect to run into the third mask here."
"Interesting."
"I am becoming increasingly curious about exactly who the Moonfall Clan's helpers are." Ethan's expression returned to normal, a faint smile hanging on his lips. He was now extremely curious about these reinforcements.
"You kid, your luck truly defies the heavens. How is it that you run into every good thing out there?"
"If I had even ten or twenty percent of your destiny in my life, I wouldn't have ended up in this state, forced to live by parasitizing someone else," Onyx Orchid sighed.
"What, have I mistreated you?" Ethan smiled faintly.
"Mistreated is a strong word, I'm just speaking my mind," Onyx Orchid mumbled.
"Relax, One day, I will gather all the masks and liberate you."
"I just hope you won't attack me when that time comes," Ethan replied, his tone quite sincere.
"Tch... the moment I'm freed, you'll be the first one I kill," Onyx Orchid made a face.
"Coward." Ethan replied nonchalantly.
"Everyone, the enemy has arrived, prepare yourselves!"
Ethan detected dozens of powerful auras flying toward them.
