Chapter 1734: Chapter 1734: Speculations from All Sides Chapter 1734: Chapter 1734: Speculations from All Sides Ethan Smith’s hand tightly gripped Emily Taylor’s.

Emily was taken aback. She hurriedly turned around and looked at Ethan.

At this moment, Ethan was struggling to open his eyes, squeezing out a smile.

“You really came…” Ethan murmured softly with opened mouth.

Ignoring the obstruction, Emily swiftly returned to Ethan’s side.

She held Ethan’s palm with both hands, whispering, “I told you, as long as you crushed the Jade Pendant, I would definitely come back for you.”

“Miss, we must go back immediately. If our family head finds out we sneaked out, we’ll be in trouble,” someone from behind reminded.

But Emily paid no attention, still firmly holding onto Ethan’s hand.

“Miss, if the family head knows, it may cause trouble for him,” someone reminded again.

Hearing these words, Emily’s expression turned slightly unnatural.

Trying to maintain a smile, she whispered, “Ethan, I have to go. I’ll wait for you in the Central Province…”
Ethan tightly grasped Emily’s hand, struggling to say, “I don’t want you to marry someone else. As for the other chaotic body, I’ll definitely defeat him…”
Emily was stunned, as she never expected Ethan already knew about these matters.

For a moment, Emily said nothing.

After a long while, she managed to force a smile and said, “I will do my best to ensure that I will only marry you.”

“Miss, we really have to go now,” the person behind urged again.

With no other choice, Emily could only let go of Ethan’s hand and whispered, “Ethan, take care of yourself.”

After that, Emily followed the people behind her and stepped into the teleportation formation.

After several flashes of light, Pilgrimage City returned to tranquility, as if nothing had happened.

Ethan lay on the ground, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness once again.

Facing the powerful Taylor family, Emily’s pressure must have been immense as well.

After all, this was a world of cultivation. Everything respected power, and without great strength, nothing could be changed.

He lay on the ground, looking at the sky above.

Around him was the strong and pungent smell of blood, and the surrounding area was filled with filthy blood water.

Ethan lay there, recovering from his injuries, but more importantly, calming his heart.

The immense pressure made it difficult for Ethan to regain his composure for a long time.

The other chaotic body was probably extremely formidable, formidable enough to make Emily lose some confidence.

For Ethan, this was definitely something unacceptable.

He climbed up from the ground with difficulty and, with heavy steps, walked out of Pilgrimage City one step at a time.

Then, Ethan summoned the Divine Eagle.

He sat on the back of the Divine Eagle, searching for the next city.

Although he hadn’t witnessed the actions of the Taylor family, the current state of Pilgrimage City already said it all.

In such a short time, their power was stronger than imagined, strong enough to turn Pilgrimage City into a bloodbath.

On the other side.

The people of the Southern Province were anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Greene brothers.

They had witnessed the gathering of large numbers of the Greene family members, and many of them spontaneously joined forces, planning to face the disaster together.

But as time passed minute by minute, no one from the Greene family arrived.

Soon, the sky turned dark, but the Southern Province remained calm.

“What’s going on? Are the Greene brothers playing a joke?”

“Impossible, who would joke about such a thing?”

“Could it be that they changed their decision at the last minute?”

For a while, everyone was puzzled, but their nerves were still tense.

Just then, news reached the Southern Province:
Pilgrimage City was destroyed in an instant by a mysterious force, turning it into a dead city, with no sign of life!

Upon hearing this news, the entire Southern Province erupted!

While they rejoiced in escaping this disaster, they speculated who the mysterious force was.

“Destroying Pilgrimage City in such a short time, what kind of power is this? Could it be a True Saint’s intervention?”

“Apart from True Saints, I’m afraid no one else can achieve such a feat!”

“But this world has long lost the environment to give birth to True Saints…”
“It must be an ancient saint. Don’t forget, an ancient saint is still alive in this world.”

“Ancient saint? How could the Rayleigh Province have an ancient saint?”

The astonishment spread throughout the Southern Province, but no one knew who the true attacker was.

This matter became more and more mysterious, and eventually, people spread the rumor that the Greene family had angered Heaven and Earth and had been wiped out in an instant.

But regardless of the reason, the Southern Province had indeed survived this calamity.

In a remote place in the Southern Province.

Forrest Middleton also received the news.

Unlike the shock and disbelief of others, he appeared extremely calm, as if he had guessed it all along.

…

North Plain.

At this moment, Denton Horton, who had been waiting for good news, also received the news.

“Master, there doesn’t seem to be any sign of a fierce battle at the scene. Based on this, I’m afraid it’s a one-sided slaughter,” Simon Ingram said solemnly.

Denton squinted his eyes and frowned, “A one-sided slaughter? Although the strength of the Greene brothers can’t be considered strong, the treasures they possess are absolutely not to be underestimated. Who could have such terrifying power?”

“Could it be as they speculate, an ancient saint from the Southern Province made a move?” Simon frowned.

Denton snorted coldly, “Impossible, where does the Southern Province have an ancient saint?”

“Apart from ancient saints, I’m afraid no one can easily kill the Greene brothers,” Kole Morton couldn’t help but frown either.

He had personally experienced the terrifying power of the purple cloud pearl, an object with a horrifying strength comparable to a True Saint!

Denton remained silent, his face cold as he said, “Now is not the time to think about these things. Since the Greene brothers are dead, you must go to the Southern Province as soon as possible. At any cost, you must find Forrest Middleton and not let him reach the Reversion Void Stage!”

“Understood.” Kole hurriedly nodded and then left.

In the shadows.

Dudley Lynch listened quietly to everything.

Unlike Kole and the others, he had already guessed something about the destruction of Pilgrimage City.

“The Taylor family of the Nine Great Families… Apart from them, I’m afraid no one can silently wipe out a city,” Dudley smirked, narrowing his eyes.

He and Emily were old acquaintances, and he was well aware of Emily’s background and character.

Back on Earth, there were countless legends regarding her.

“Emily, you’re still secretly helping him,” Dudley sneered.

However, he wasn’t alarmed, because a countermeasure soon came to his mind.

Of course, Dudley didn’t inform Denton of this, as he didn’t consider Denton to be on his side in the first place.

In the following days, Ethan was still in the Westeria Land, diligently searching for cities.
