Chapter 1426: Chapter 1426: Re-entering Azure Rock Forest Chapter 1426: Chapter 1426: Re-entering Azure Rock Forest Ken Middleton was taken aback before bursting into laughter, saying, “Do you really think I work for the Cloud Sect?”
Ethan Smith replied, “Isn’t the Southern Province now under the control of the Cloud Sect? By helping them eliminate outsiders, aren’t you effectively working for the Cloud Sect?”
Ken Middleton shook his head, saying, “You’re mistaken. No matter whether it’s a war between sects or changes between regions, it’s the cultivators and ordinary people at the bottom who suffer.”
“So, we must try to prevent such great wars.”
Ethan Smith said solemnly, “The Golden Age is now upon us. Chosen ones and heaven’s favorites erge in great numbers and great wars are inevitable.”
“Then let’s delay that day,” Ken Middleton responded.
Ethan Smith nodded, understanding the good intentions behind Ken Middleton’s words.
As long as Ken Middleton wasn’t working for the Cloud Sect, at least Ethan Smith’s safety wouldn’t be threatened.
As for the future, no one could predict what might happen.
“Little brother, are you planning to go to Azure Rock Forest?” Ken Middleton asked.
Ethan Smith responded with a nod, saying, “I want to find sothing.”
Without probing further, Ken Middleton patted Ethan Smith’s shoulder, saying, “If you need help, feel free to ask.”
Although he said that, Ethan Smith had never liked asking for help, so he simply replied with a bow, “Thank you, Senior Ken Middleton.”
The group drank their tea and ate so food before setting off on their individual journeys.
The distance to Azure Rock Forest was not far, only about ten star-miles away.
By evening, Ethan Smith had arrived near the Azure Rock Forest.
Just as Justin Vasquez had said, there were more people gathered there than they had expected.
Many young individuals ford one team after another, discussing various matters as they stood nearby.
So were waiting for others to join them before entering Azure Rock Forest together.
Ethan Smith found a spot to stand and gazed at the forest.
The surroundings were pitch black, and the forest appeared even darker and more mysterious in the evening.
Many rogue cultivators were waiting nearby, recruiting others. When their gaze fell on Ethan Smith, they all shook their heads.
Clearly, even if they needed others to join them, they wanted capable teammates.
As for soone like Ethan Smith, who showed no spiritual power fluctuations, they weren’t welcod.
The group gathered and hadn’t taken a single step into Azure Rock Forest.
Ethan Smith was confused. He randomly approached one of the rogue cultivators, asking, “What is everyone waiting for? Why haven’t we set off yet?”
The cultivator looked at Ethan Smith and said, “It’ll be dark soon. Entering Azure Rock Forest at night is extrely dangerous. Everyone is waiting for daylight.”
Ethan Smith asked in surprise, “Is Azure Rock Forest particularly dangerous at night? Why didn’t I know?”
“It seems like it’s your first ti here?” The cultivator looked Ethan Smith up and down before continuing, “Even the Hunter organization tries to avoid entering Azure Rock Forest at night, let alone us.”
Ethan Smith beca even more surprised. He had spent a long ti with the Hunter organization but had never heard of such a rule.
However, Scott Elliott had ntioned before that Azure Rock Forest was vast, and they had only been in a small part of it.
Perhaps this place was different from where Ethan had been with the Hunter organization.
To be on the safe side, Ethan Smith decided to wait for daylight before setting off to avoid any unexpected issues at this ti.
With the arrival of night, the surroundings beca much colder.
From Azure Rock Forest, the angry roars of Demonic Beasts could be heard from ti to ti, as well as earth-shattering sounds.
The commotion attracted the attention of many onlookers.
Ethan Smith couldn’t help but look into the depths of Azure Rock Forest. He activated his desolate divine eye, staring straight at the forest.
Under the gaze of the desolate divine eye, the Demonic Beasts within the darkness had nowhere to hide.
Just as the rogue cultivators had said, these Demonic Beasts beca more violent in the dark, and their energy fluctuations were even more terrifying.
“It seems that this place is sowhat different from where Scott Elliott had been,” Ethan Smith thought to himself.
The Azure Rock Forest was too vast. It almost covered the entire periphery of the Holy Region, and no one knew what lay hidden in the depths of the forest.
Since they were not setting off yet, Ethan Smith simply found a spot to rest for a while.
At that mont, a male cultivator approached him from not far away.
He patted Ethan Smith’s shoulder, saying, “Hey, friend, are you alone?”
Ethan Smith looked at him and nodded, asking, “Yeah, what’s up?”
The cultivator laughed, saying, “It seems that you’re not very strong. Entering Azure Rock Forest alone is very dangerous. Why not join us? We can help each other out.”
Ethan Smith opened his mouth, intending to decline, but then several people walked over.
“Look, this is our team,” the cultivator said.
Ethan Smith looked over and found that the so-called team only had four mbers. None of them seed particularly powerful, and their energies were quite ordinary.
“What realm are you all in?” Ethan Smith asked tentatively.
The cultivator replied, “We’re all at the Nascent Soul Realm. I’m the initiator and the strongest person on our team. I’ve already reached the peak form of the Nascent Soul Realm.”
“Peak form of Nascent Soul…” Ethan Smith murmured.
“With your cultivation realm, venturing into Azure Rock Forest is too risky,” Ethan Smith frowned.
The cultivator laughed, saying, “We’re all just trying to make a living. Aren’t you in the sa boat?”
