After hearing the Deputy Sect Master's words, Ethan Smith's expression suddenly darkened.
He used to trust Forrest Middleton, but now all these signs have made him start to doubt.
Most importantly, how could he understand Forrest's departure at this critical moment?
"Ethan, why don't you wait for him here? He should be back soon," the Deputy Sect Master suggested.
Ethan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
Then he turned to the Deputy Sect Master and said with a smile, "Alright, I'll wait for him at the Cloud Sect. By the way, have there been any news about the North Plain recently?"
Mentioning this, the Deputy Sect Master's face couldn't help but sink.
He said grimly, "Just recently we received news that several border cities have disappeared, with everyone inside dead. Their deaths are the same as the methods used in the North Plain."
