Mrs. and Mr. Smith

After entering the city, Ethan Smith and his companions quickly arrived at the Mansion of Azure Cloud.

At this moment, Azure Cloud's Mansion was devoid of its usual bustle.

In the darkness of the night, not a single lantern was lit, and the entire courtyard was overgrown with wild grass. The weeds had even overgrown the yard, crawling over a large area of tile walls.

"Ethan, this place doesn't look like somewhere people live. It looks more like a courtyard abandoned for hundreds of years."

Frederick Cohen said with confusion.

"It shouldn't be! Let's go inside and take a look."

Ethan Smith frowned slightly, He originally thought about going to the market.

However, that place was crowded and watchful eyes were many, going there was inappropriate.

A few people leaped directly into the city walls, the formations that once existed had long dried up.

Moreover, the courtyard was in ruins, as if there were signs of a battle.

"Could something really have happened!"

Ethan Smith furrowed his brow.

Previously, Azure Cloud was nearing the end of his lifespan due to the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. He received a fate in the Heavenly Sin, and with his wisdom, this shouldn't be the case.

"Who!"

Suddenly, a shadow shook in the courtyard.

Frederick Cohen immediately noticed it and rushed forward.

In no time, he brought back that shadow like a small chick.

"Daniel?"

Upon seeing the face of the visitor, Ethan Smith couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Master Ethan, finally I waited for you, please follow me quickly."

The despondent expression on Daniel Perez's face instantly changed upon seeing Ethan Smith.

"What happened?"

Ethan Smith narrowed his eyes slightly, but Daniel's expression didn't show any change.

"Since three months ago, the Heaven and Earth of the Path Profound Holy Kingdom have undergone changes. Taoist Azure Cloud abandoned this place early on, but he foresaw that you might return to find him, so he had me wait nearby. Fortunately, I finally waited for you today."

Daniel Perez said with a long face.

"Master, please follow me."

Daniel Perez led the way ahead.

Aiden turned to look at Ethan Smith, his eyes showing an inquiry.

Ethan Smith nodded, indicating for them to follow.

Heading all the way north, they finally arrived at a new place at an extremely secluded area.

These places were set with numerous maze formations, merely to cover up the aura.

So unless someone intentionally investigated, it was really difficult to find this location.

"Taoist Azure Cloud, why pick such a remote mountain wilderness location, and how did you know I would return?"

Ethan Smith asked somewhat doubtfully.

"How could I not know."

Azure Cloud smiled bitterly and said.

At this moment, Azure Cloud's expression was radiant. After gaining lifespan in the Heavenly Sin, he looked significantly younger.

The lifeless old aura from before had completely faded, now he looked like an elegant young man with an extraordinary temperament!

If not for Ethan Smith's previous acquaintance with Azure Cloud, it would be hard to imagine this person was previously the elderly suffering from the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.

"The affair of the God-Sealing Panel has already caused turmoil throughout the Saint's World, and since you appeared at the Nine Netherworld Cliff before, my intuition tells me you're definitely related to this, and that the fragments of the God-Sealing Panel should be in your hands!"

Spoken words, both Frederick Cohen and Sithur Fatty had serious killing intent emerging.

"Haha, truly worthy of being Taoist, I came here to inquire about some information."

Ethan Smith wasn't surprised; previously, being able to gather a team with the likes of Aleister Dark Night and Sithur Fatty, it was imaginable this Taoist was no ordinary person, having such shrewdness was also normal.

"After the battle of the Everlasting Treasure Continent, what happened afterward, please Taoist can you tell us in detail."

Ethan Smith folded his fists and said.

"Ethan my friend no need to be polite with me, I ventured into the Heavenly Sin with you, borrowing your strength allowed me to steal the new lifespans from the hands of the Path of Heaven, even if it would require my life to repay this favor, this Taoist would dare not refuse."

Azure Cloud subconsciously stroked his long beard.

"Quickly speak old man, stop beating around the bush."

Frederick Cohen grew impatient and urged from the side.

"Alright, I'll speak, I'll speak. Previously in the great war of the Sithur Family, the true bodies of the three Holy Lords—Yuchen, Lucifer, and the Eye of Destruction Simojis arrived, only in that great war, the various magical artifacts of the Sithur Family withstood the powerful blow of the Holy Kingdom's force, and Lucifer was injured by the Ten Days Golden Crow, the Eye of Destruction and Yuchen battled with Harold Sithur and other experts of the Sithur Family, relying on power developed by Harold Sithur, this process was unexpectedly a stalemate."

Azure Cloud started to explain in detail.

"This also fully reflects the terrifying heritage of the Sithur Family, knowing that these are the top three in the Saint's World, and with the Saint Kingdom's power knocking on the door, being able to parry even with the three Holy Lords is already quite exaggerated, if not for the appearance of the powerful Demon Lord Ziyang later, this time the three Saints might have returned without success."

"Impossible, the location of Saint Ziyang is nearly four times the distance to the Sithur Family compared to the other three Holy Lords, how could he arrive in time? Reaching the realm of Holy Lord, speed should have reached an extreme, if one wants to break through this extreme power, it would come at a significant cost, Ziyang likely wouldn't use extreme power for travel, would he?"

Aiden questioned with doubt.

He carries royal blood, always by the side of the Fairy Queen, Saint Galladel.

Therefore, he understands some deep-seated powers even more than Sithur Fatty.

"You fairy brat indeed knows quite a bit!"

Azure Cloud glanced at Aiden in surprise.

"Arriving at the battlefield wasn't the true body of Ziyang, but rather his Planar Projection."

"That's impossible!"

Sithur Fatty immediately shook his head.

With the power of their Sithur Family, even the true arrival of the three Holy Lords could be counterattacked.

How could they fall under the power of a projection?

High-tier Planar Projections can undoubtedly unleash strength comparable to the body, yet are subjected to various constraints. Including the limitations of the magical artifact used and other factors.

"That is the reality, or rather, even repeating several times the six or seven-tenths strength, Ziyang is more fearsome than the others who came to attack the three Holy Lords, anyway, the Sithur Family faced a complete defeat after Ziyang's arrival."

Azure Cloud shook his head.

"This one Demon Lord's strength is so terrifying?"

Ethan Smith felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

He hadn't expected this Saint who transformed from Hominini to the Demon clan to possess power to such an extent.

Being able to directly affect the battle with a Planar Projection, this is already unimaginable power.

"And on another battlefield, the Aleister Family faced an assault from two Saints, Emerald Snake Witch, and Ghost King Youming's true bodies, yet due to the Aleister Family's location being quite isolated.
