Chapter 1679: Chapter 1679: The Curse of the Eastern Land_1 Chapter 1679: Chapter 1679: The Curse of the Eastern Land_1 Hearing this, Ethan Smith immediately slapped him in the face.
“It's not an illusion,” Ethan Smith said with a roll of his eyes.
Justin Vasquez was stunned and quickly sat up from the ground.
“You… didn't die?!” Justin shouted in surprise.
“Of course not, I'm blessed with great luck and I still have to attain enlightenment. How could I die here?” Ethan laughed and said.
For a moment, Justin felt a mix of emotions. He looked at the huge dragon eye that Ethan was holding and asked with a frown, “What is that?”
“The eye of the dragon corpse,” Ethan didn't hide anything.
“You…you took out its eye?!” Justin was even more dumbfounded.
Ethan hummed in acknowledgment and told Justin the whole story.
Justin listened, dumbstruck, and couldn't help but give Ethan a thumbs up.
“Alright, it's not the time to talk about this. We have to leave here as soon as possible.” Ethan said seriously.
“Dragon Burial Cave isn't as simple as what we see. I even suspect that we have only seen the tip of the iceberg.”
If the cultivation of these True Saints spreads out, the whole Holy Region will be shocked.
“How do we leave with those things blocking our way?” Justin frowned.
Ethan pointed to the eye he was holding and said, “We'll rely on this.”
“Rely on it? Can it work?” Justin asked with a frown.
“It should. This thing can even suppress True Saints, let alone those beasts,” Ethan replied.
So, Ethan helped Justin up with one hand, and then the two of them started to walk towards the exit of the Dragon Burial Cave.
Walking in the desert, both of them felt heavy and weary.
Their eyes scanned their surroundings, afraid they might be ambushed by the insects.
In no time, a large swarm of insects suddenly appeared.
At a glance, they covered the entire desert with no end in sight!
Ethan frowned and said in a cold tone, “What on earth are these things…”
“I don't know,” Justin shook his head.
Ethan didn't speak, holding up the eye and taking one step at a time.
The insects coldly watched Ethan, but when he approached them, they instinctively made way for him.
As expected, these insects were afraid of the dragon eye in Ethan's hand!
“It worked.” Ethan looked at Justin and smiled.
Justin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He patted his chest and said, “Let's hurry up then.”
Without saying more, they summoned the Divine Eagle.
Sitting on the back of the Divine Eagle, they looked down at the dense swarm of insects below.
After Ethan left, the insects slowly disappeared without a trace.
“Could it be that the hidden gaze I sensed before came from these insects?” Ethan whispered.
As he spoke, Ethan's expression changed slightly.
“No! It's not them!” Ethan exclaimed.
After the insects disappeared, Ethan still felt something strange!
A pair of cold eyes seemed to be staring at Ethan from the darkness.
But when Ethan turned to look, he couldn't see anything.
“Strange…” Ethan's expression darkened.
Since he arrived in the Eastern Land, that gaze had always followed him.
Ethan had no idea where that gaze came from, nor did he know who was hiding in the dark.
“Perhaps it disappeared after leaving the Eastern Land,” Justin said from the side.
Ethan sighed and said, “I hope so.”
Riding the Divine Eagle, they didn't dare to rest for a moment.
After Ethan and Justin left, the Dragon Burial Cave slowly disappeared. Everything returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.
Riding on the Divine Eagle, the two soared high in the sky.
Several days later, they finally left the Eastern Land.
But as they left the Eastern Land, their divine senses trembled violently for a moment, as if struck by lightning!
“What happened?” Ethan frowned.
Justin asked in surprise, “Did you feel the same thing?”
Ethan's face grew even darker!
Both of them had the same feeling, which meant the reason for the trembling just now came from the Eastern Land!
“What secret is hidden in the Eastern Land?” Ethan frowned deeply.
“It's a curse.”
At that moment, the mysterious person appeared again!
“A curse?!” Ethan was startled. He jumped and landed in front of the mysterious person.
“What's going on? What do you mean?” Ethan asked coldly.
The mysterious person sneered, “It's the curse of the Eastern Land. As for what it means, figure it out yourself.”
“Who are you? Why do you keep appearing?” Ethan asked coldly.
“You don't need to know. You have already set foot in the Eastern Land, and no matter how much I tell you, it won't help,” the mysterious person said.
With his hands behind his back, he smiled lightly, “The Eastern Land is not for you to meddle in. You will pay the price.”
After leaving these words, he turned around and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Although Ethan had many doubts in his heart, he didn't chase after him.
Because he knew that with his speed, he couldn't catch up.
“The curse…” Justin mumbled behind them.
As if suddenly remembering something, he asked in shock, “Could it be that my father died because of the curse too?”
Ethan looked at Justin and said coldly, “Let's go to Cloud Sect.”
Without any delay, the two went straight to Cloud Sect.
Cloud Sect was quite far from the Eastern Land. Even with the Divine Eagle, it would take several days.
After eight days, the two finally arrived near Cloud Sect.
Ethan concealed his figure and looked at Justin, asking, “Will you wait for me here, or come with me?”
“Together. This matter not only concerns the both of us but also involves my father,” Justin said coldly.
Ethan hummed in acknowledgment and quickly walked towards Cloud Sect.
They passed through Cloud Sect and went straight to the foot of Cultivation Mountain.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Ethan shouted, “Ethan Smith requests an audience!”
A thundering shout resonated throughout Cloud Sect!
But this time, unlike the previous one, no path was opened. Instead, there was no response from Cultivation Mountain.
Ethan shouted again, “Ethan Smith requests an audience!”
But the result was the same, no one responded to Ethan.
Just then, the Deputy Sect Master hurried over from nearby.
“Ethan? Why are you here?” The Deputy Sect Master asked puzzledly.
Without answering the question, Ethan asked, “Where is the sect master? I have urgent matters to discuss with him.”
“The sect master left a few days ago,” the Deputy Sect Master replied.
“He left?” Ethan frowned, feeling even more uneasy.
“When will he be back?” Ethan asked.
The Deputy Sect Master chuckled, “How could I know the sect master's schedule? Besides, the sect master has always loved wandering the four seas, and no one knows when he'll return.”
