Chapter 1716: Chapter 1716: Merging into One Chapter 1716: Chapter 1716: Merging into One Already unable to bear all the flattery, the bold and straightforward Randall Freeman waved his hand and said, “No need for more words, I agree to this!”

“No!” Ethan Smith yelled at Randall Freeman without thinking.

He said coldly: “Master, you cannot go there under any circumstances. As soon as you set foot in the North Plain, there is no hope for survival.”

“What does it have to do with you? If you don’t want to contribute to the Southern Province, that’s fine, but don’t stop Randall Freeman from doing so!”

“Exactly, it will be even worse when Denton Horton resurrects!”

Ethan Smith said coldly, “You’ve seen it too, everyone who went there has died. So many people have already died meaninglessly, do you want more people to die?”

“Although Denton Horton is terrible, there must be a way to deal with him. In any case, no one should go to the North Plain now.”

Just as the crowd wanted to say something, Ethan Smith’s angry shout drove them away.

After driving these people away, Randall Freeman said solemnly: “Ethan Smith, I have to go, otherwise, how can I face others?”

“What’s more important, maintaining your reputation or staying alive? No matter what, I won’t let you go.” Ethan Smith replied coldly.

Randall Freeman narrowed his eyes and said, “Are you trying to stop me? Can you stop me?”

“Whether I can or not, I have to try.” Ethan Smith said coldly.

A strong aura burst forth from both of them instantly.

Alfred and Clay Freeman hurriedly stepped in, saying, “What are you two doing, are you going to fight? Can’t we discuss things properly?”

However, neither Ethan Smith nor Randall Freeman spoke, just staring coldly at each other.

At this moment, Randall Freeman suddenly put on a smiling face and said with a grin, “Just joking with you, do you think I would really fight you? Forget it, let’s drink!”

Hearing this, Ethan Smith let out a sigh of relief.

“When Denton Horton comes back to life, we must join forces and suppress him.” Ethan Smith picked up his wine glass and said solemnly.

Randall Freeman chuckled, “It’s not our business, let’s leave it to Forrest Middleton. If he loses, then we’ll talk.”

Ethan Smith gave a single-word reply and stopped talking.

The next day.

Ethan Smith quickly headed for the northern border after saying goodbye to Randall Freeman.

During these past few days, the North Plain had been relatively quiet and hadn’t set foot in the Southern Province.

However, everyone knew that the North Plain only needed to bide its time.

Once Denton Horton resurrects, that is when the real disaster will begin.

“Tsk tsk, why are you here?” Seeing Ethan Smith, the group that had gone to the Grandeous Mountain urged him to leave.

“You prevented Randall Freeman from going to the North Plain, so why come here and put on a show?”

“That’s right, you should go back.”

Ethan Smith glanced at them, grabbed one of them, and threw them into the North Plain.

The moment the cultivator stepped into the North Plain, panic spread across his face as he ran and desperately fled back to the northern border.

“You… what are you doing!” The cultivator who had escaped exclaimed in horror.

Ethan Smith said coldly, “Why are you so afraid? You keep telling others to go to the North Plain, so why are you afraid?”

“I… that’s because I don’t have the strength of the Reversion Void Stage, otherwise, I wouldn’t be afraid!” He argued.

Ethan Smith raised an eyebrow and asked, “How do you feel after entering the North Plain?”

The cultivator frowned, thought for a moment, and said, “Indeed, it doesn’t feel very comfortable.”

“Is it just uncomfortable, or very uncomfortable? If you haven’t experienced it clearly yet, I can send you back again.” Ethan Smith said with a cold smile.

Hearing this, the cultivator got panicky.

Reluctantly, he said, “Fine, I did feel very uncomfortable when I set foot in the North Plain, as if my spiritual power was being suppressed.”

“Although it was only for a moment, the feeling was indeed unbearable.”

Ethan Smith looked at the crowd coldly and asked, “Have I ever shown fear when Denton Horton first stepped into the northern border?”

The crowd shook their heads in silence.

“And who was the one that drove Denton Horton away?” Ethan Smith continued asking.

The crowd became even more silent.

“If I were afraid of death, what would be the point of doing all this?” Ethan Smith asked.

His questioning suddenly plunged the scene into silence.

“I know you hate the North Plain and fear Denton Horton, but you must maintain your basic sanity at all times.” Ethan Smith said coldly.

After Ethan Smith’s words, they seemed to have calmed down a bit.

Someone asked, “So what should we do next, just wait for Denton Horton to be resurrected?”

Ethan Smith looked at them and said, “Trust me, we’ll find a way. Besides, the Southern Province is not short of cultivators. We need not fear a single Denton Horton.”

Seeing Ethan Smith’s confidence, they reluctantly agreed, even if they were displeased.

“Preventing the North Plain’s cultivators from entering is indeed your responsibility. You have worked hard, and the Southern Province will always remember you.” Ethan Smith said sincerely.

After talking to these people, Ethan Smith also left the place.

He must practice as fast as possible before Denton Horton’s resurrection to reach the half-step Reversion Void Stage.

Once he enters the half-step Reversion Void Stage, Ethan Smith will have the possibility of facing off against Denton Horton.

Even if he’s not able to defeat Denton Horton, at least when it comes to facing Simon Ingram or others, Ethan Smith has some confidence.

…

At the North Plain.

The recent disturbances in the North Plain were becoming more and more intense.

In addition to the disappearance of the Dead River between the Southern Province and the North Plain, the Dead Rivers of other sections were also gradually disappearing.

It wouldn’t be long before the Rayleigh Province would be completely merged.

In a cold room, qi radiated from several people.

This qi seemed to signify that Simon Ingram and others were trying their best to recover their bodies.

Relatively speaking, Simon Ingram, who had been less injured, had already recovered his divine sense, but his body was still in shambles and couldn’t move in the slightest.

It seemed that it would take a long time for him to recover from this condition.

He lay on the bed, eyes slightly closed, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment, a black-robed man walked in from outside.

He knelt in front of Simon Ingram and said, “Master Ingram, the rate of the Dead River’s disappearance between the major sections is becoming faster. According to this rate, it will completely vanish in just a few days.”

Simon Ingram took a difficult glance at him and then asked, “How long will it take?”

“Within ten days.” The black-robed man replied.

This made Simon Ingram feel a bit anxious.

If the major sections completely disappear, no one can guarantee that the people from other continents won’t join forces to deal with the North Plain.

“Master Ingram, you don’t need to worry too much. In the entire Rayleigh Province, only the Southern Province is considered a blessed land with outstanding people and resources. Everyone covets it,” the black-robed man said.

“As for our North Plain, it can be said to be a cursed land. Nobody will be interested in us.”

Simon Ingram nodded slightly, there seemed to be some truth in these words.
