Chapter 2594: Chapter 2592: The Ancient City That Cannot Be Refused

After changing directions several times, they still couldn’t find another path.

It was as if the storm was designed for them, to force them into this small city.

Ethan Smith tentatively stretched out his arm, and within moments, his arm felt a tingling numbness.

The arm he pulled back from the howling wind bore a deep, bone-revealing wound, and Ethan frowned as he spoke.

"I want to test whether I can break through this storm, what do you all plan to do."

Ethan said coldly, the sense of overwhelming power from the soul entity was truly unmatched.

Moreover, this storm seemed intended to drive them towards the castle.

All these feelings were too coincidental, and Ethan felt this wasn’t a good sign.

"We’re entering the city, you’ve done enough for us, don’t worry about us, Ethan big brother, be careful!"

With a resolute expression, West Hill directly headed towards the ancient city.

"Thank you, Ethan big brother, for taking care of us!"

After hesitating for a moment, the others also rushed in the direction of West Hill.

Even Ethan’s physique suffered a bone-deep wound from the storm winds, not to mention them, a gust could probably take their lives.

Ethan no longer hesitated and directly plunged into the mist-like storm winds.

He only used part of the Divine Power to strengthen his body after killing Quenby Jenkins, leaving about half of it in reserve, even if he encountered danger, he still had some means to save his life.

However, right now, the Nine Heavens Condensing Pupil and Retribution Seal couldn’t be used.

While advancing, Ethan killed three Demon Beasts.

These Demon Beasts were extremely fast and had strong bodies, in terms of strength they were probably only half as strong as the bear demon.

Yet in battle, they seemed much more intelligent than the previous Demonic Beasts.

Even these three Demon Beasts took Ethan some effort to kill them.

Looking at the broken Bone Spur in front of him, Ethan felt somewhat creepy.

Suddenly, under the extreme vision of ’True Sight,’ he saw a human figure unexpectedly appear there.

A halo appeared around him, and the surrounding storm winds couldn’t harm him in the slightest.

"Ethan Smith, to speak briefly, I am the heavenly secrets chosen by Master Xeno Johnson, this time after entering the castle, you need to rescue a living being imprisoned in the castle dungeon, this concerns whether the Hominini can further advance in this Holy Kingdom, if you fail, it will be a concern for not only here but also the lower realm humans."

After speaking, the old man with white hair completely dissipated.

A bow with a metallic luster remained in place, its surface gleaming brightly. The bow body had elegant curves, with countless exquisite runes carved on it, with the sun, stars, and moon symbols engraved on it.

Damn, what a bow!

Even though the mysteriously appearing heavenly secrets elder made Ethan gasp.

This bowstring, however, was far superior to the Bone Spur in his hand.

Ethan directly took it into his hand, feeling the weight upon contact.

This seemingly extremely lightweight bowstring had such a terrifying weight, making Ethan somewhat surprised.

Ethan hesitated for a moment but continued to press forward.

Joking, as long as the leading soul entity was present, going to that castle is a death march, isn’t it?

Even if they gave him a bow, it wouldn’t work.

Ethan continued walking for nearly half an hour, and what appeared before him left him completely stunned.

An ancient and decayed city emerged cornered out of the fog.

It was the city he had seen before, after nearly an hour of walking forward, he returned to the starting point.

"Looks like there’s no escaping it!"

This bizarre scene made Ethan completely lose hope.

He also felt profoundly astonished by the inexplicably appearing elder, if indeed chosen by the Saint Xeno Johnson, he should bear no ill will towards him.

Moreover, he seemed to have already expected that Ethan would have to enter the castle, which seemed like a predictive type of ability.

Could it be that the elder’s ability was prediction? Perhaps he had a seed similar to Quenby Jenkins.

However, the information he disclosed was too little, impossible to guess, not specifying even any specific details about the living being to be rescued, everything was so incoherent.

Ethan shook his head and gradually approached the ancient city.

At this moment, he dared not use the ’True Sight’ again, as the soul entity seemed to be able to detect his gaze, he wouldn’t dare to try again.

In a far distant place, the heavenly secrets elder’s hands holding the Compass suddenly trembled violently, and he spat a mouthful of blood.

"Is the backlash from deducing heavenly secrets so terrifying?"

He shook his head with some amazement.

"Doing all I can, this is my utmost, hopefully they can find that limited chance..."

Coughing as he walked deeper.

Near the ancient city, the siege creatures of Hicks occupied a significant portion, and the Soul Mage was there as well.

Cautiously, Ethan chose the furthest east gate guarded by immense power, slaying a few Demon Beasts along the way, he finally arrived before the castle.

"Halt!"

A soldier on the city wall shouted loudly.

"Not a Demon Beast, let him come up."

Another voice sounded from elsewhere, as the voice fell.

A basket was lowered from the city wall, Ethan sat on this basket, letting the soldiers above hoist him up.

"Outsider, this city is being attacked by Demon Beasts, I command you to immediately head to Hicks to help slay Demon Beasts."

The previous soldier walked up to him, the lines of his body tight and strong outside the leather armor, exuding great power.

Moreover, his face and shoulders were covered in scars, densely packed, looking extremely ferocious.

Ethan’s expression changed slightly, from what he sensed the person’s body shouldn’t be as monstrous as the bear demon, but his calm demeanor already represented his not low wisdom.

Moreover, at his feet lay a corpse with half its head gone.

It was one of the four with West Hill earlier, perhaps they refused the soldier’s invite, and were directly slain.

Maybe he could kill this soldier in front, but with nearly a hundred soldiers surrounding him, and a person resembling a Team Captain less than a hundred meters away, he had no confidence in dealing with them.

"Alright."

Ethan said in a deep voice.

"Take him to the east gate!"

The soldier said coldly, and two others ’accompanied’ Ethan to Hicks.

"Damn it, it’s these outsiders who are to blame, we’ve been fighting these Demon Beasts for hundreds of years, ever since these outsiders appeared, these Demon Beasts’ strength surged to such an extent, at this rate, I’m afraid our Nine Bends City won’t be able to hold."

The Team Captain spat fiercely.
