Demon-slaying Peak.
In a blink of an eye, the day of departure arrived.
That day, both the peak master and Ninth Cloud retreated voluntarily, transferring all their authority to Ethan Smith.
Recognizing their good intentions, Ethan did not say much.
He surveyed the crowd, looking like a general about to set off for war.
All held their breath and awaited Ethan's announcement.
Ethan remained silent for a long time before finally stated in a deep voice, "At all times, guard your own life."
Upon hearing this, both Ninth Cloud and the peak master frowned.
They exchanged a glance, sensing something wasn't quite right.
Morale, not despair, is needed on the brink of a great war.
They all turned towards Ethan Smith, but the absolute resolve on his face invigorated them again.
"Let's go." The peak master and Ninth Cloud no longer wasted words. They knew that Ethan had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
