Chapter 498: Chapter 498: The Great Saint Sect Driven Insane
Joshua Hess is about to personally take action and capture Ethan Smith!
He’s a real-life Martial Marquis! A completely different world from a half-step Martial Marquis!
A Martial Marquis in the cultivation world is at the Golden Core Stage!
They have already produced golden cores within their bodies, and their strength has stepped into a whole different level! Not something a half-step Martial Marquis can compare with!
On that day, Joshua Hess posted this news on the Martial Arts Forum.
Not only that, Joshua Hess also posted a bounty on the Martial Arts Forum:
As long as one provides information on Ethan Smith’s whereabouts, they can get a thousand-year-old King of Medicine and ten million in cash!
Such a high reward shows Joshua Hess’s determination and anger!
Inside the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
Fifth Elder walked in hastily with his mobile phone in hand.
“Ethan Smith, Joshua Hess is personally coming after you!” Fear was written all over the face of Fifth Elder.
However, Ethan Smith seemed quite calm. He glanced at the Fifth Elder and nodded, “I know.”
Fifth Elder was taken aback and hurriedly said, “Ethan Smith, do you know that Joshua Hess is a Martial Marquis? Aren’t you… worried?”
“What use is worrying?” Ethan Smith slowly stood up from the bed.
“Even if he doesn’t come looking for me, I’ll go find him,” Ethan Smith sneered.
Fifth Elder was instantly dumbfounded.
Ethan Smith is going to find Joshua Hess? Isn’t that the same as sending himself to his death?
“Ethan Smith, with your talent, it’s just a matter of time for you to step into the realm of Martial Marquis. You can even explore higher realms in the future! Why bother confronting him head-on at this time?” Fifth Elder anxiously argued.
Ethan Smith smiled, “Fifth Elder, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”
With that said, Ethan Smith walked straight out of the Elder’s residence.
“Where are you going?” asked Fifth Elder, puzzled.
Ethan Smith said coldly, “I’m going to kill the remnants of the Great Saint Sect.”
After dropping this sentence, Ethan Smith walked out of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
As the number one sect in the north, the Great Saint Sect had numerous aristocratic families relying on them!
Not only were they the Great Saint Sect’s lapdogs, but they also relied on the Great Saint Sect for their livelihood.
Ethan Smith knew that he was no match for Joshua Hess, but he had his own advantages.
That was being a lone ranger and extremely fast.
“Great Saint Sect, I’ll make you pay a heavy price,” said Ethan Smith coldly.
Over the past few days, Ethan Smith had already prepared a list of subsidiary sects under the Great Saint Sect.
He took out this list and went door-to-door.
Carly Province, Taly City.
In Taly City, the biggest aristocratic family was the Meyer family.
The Meyer family had billions of assets, covering industries such as real estate, entertainment facilities, and many more.
Moreover, the Meyer family was also one of the lapdogs of the Great Saint Sect. They had a strong martial arts force, with several Grandmasters guarding them, and almost no one dared to provoke them.
On this evening, Ethan Smith arrived at the entrance of the Meyer family.
He scanned the surroundings and then walked into the Meyer family residence.
After a while, there were screams of pain and bursts of light within the Meyer family home.
In less than half an hour, the head of the Meyer family was killed on a woman’s belly!
As for the Grandmasters sent by the Great Saint Sect, not a single one was left, all killed by Ethan Smith with one palm strike!
Another day passed, and the head of the Scott Family of Central Plains was beheaded! Eight Grandmasters were completely wiped out!
In the following days, one horrible news after another kept coming out.
The head of the Brown family died in his office, and three Grandmasters were killed as well.
The head of the Aguilar family died at the dining table, leaving no Grandmasters alive.
The head of the White Family died in his study, with one half-step Martial Marquis even turning into a dried corpse!
All those killed shared one characteristic, they all originated from the Great Saint Sect!
Before the shock subsided, Ethan Smith had already issued a statement on the Martial Arts Forum:
I don’t believe your Great Saint Sect can protect everyone! So what if you, Joshua Hess, are a Martial Marquis? As long as I’m alive, I’ll slaughter everyone related to the Great Saint Sect!

“Ethan Smith… Ethan Smith!!” Joshua Hess slammed his palm on the table, shattering it!
“Go, find him for me! Find Ethan Smith!” Joshua Hess said through gritted teeth.
Elder Foster walked over quickly and whispered, “Sect Master, we tried to find Ethan Smith, but his movement techniques are extremely fast, and he practically changes cities every day.”
“By the time we arrive, he’s already gone…”
Another elder walked over, trembling, and said, “Sect Master, all the aristocratic families who surrendered to the Great Saint Sect are now distancing themselves from us…”
“Sect Master, if this goes on, we will incur a loss of at least several billion every year…”
Joshua Hess panted heavily, quivering with anger.
“No matter what, I will kill this Ethan Smith!” Joshua Hess gritted his teeth.
He immediately ordered Elder Foster to prepare a list of all aristocratic families related to the Great Saint Sect and list them all out.
“Ethan Smith boasted about annihilating my Great Saint Sect, fine, I will lie in wait!” Joshua Hess said coldly.
“As long as Ethan Smith dares to show up, I will kill him!”
After dropping that statement, Joshua Hess turned and left.
However, at this time, Ethan Smith had not gone to another aristocratic family.
He quietly went near the Great Saint Sect and quietly waited there.
Not long after Joshua Hess left, Ethan Smith broke into the Great Saint Sect and began a massacre!
The disciples who stayed in the Great Saint Sect that day numbered in the hundreds, and in the end, all of them were turned into corpses, not a single one spared!
By the time Joshua Hess returned, the Great Saint Sect had become a river of blood!
“Ah!!!”
Joshua Hess screamed in madness and anger!
His wild hair flew around, and his roar echoed through the entire Great Saint Sect!
“Ethan Smith, I must catch you! I must catch you!” Joshua Hess gritted his teeth, seething with rage!
“Sect Master, the disciples are also getting scared now because of Ethan Smith’s rampage…” One elder reported.
“Many disciples want to resign and go home…”
“I also received many resignation letters, at least dozens of them… including those at the Peak Form of Grandmaster.”
The Peak Form of the Grandmaster was a reserve force for the Great Saint Sect!
As long as they had the Spiritual Spring, the Great Saint Sect had a chance to forge them into half-step Martial Marquises!
But now, due to Ethan Smith’s insanity, these disciples and those intending to join the Great Saint Sect were scared off!
For a moment, Joshua Hess was at his wit’s end.
He rubbed his forehead and whispered, “Go find surveillance footage and find Ethan Smith for me!”
“Sect Master, do you think we can find Ethan Smith using surveillance? He moves after each single strike. Who can catch him…”
Joshua Hess couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
He never expected that just one Ethan Smith could bring the once glorious Great Saint Sect to the brink of ruin!
“I do have a solution.” At this moment, Elder Foster stepped forward.
Joshua Hess gave Elder Foster a cold glance and asked, “What is it?”
Elder Foster pondered for a moment and said, “We can pretend to negotiate and trick Ethan Smith into coming!”
“I believe as long as the conditions we offer are high enough, Ethan Smith would definitely agree!”
“Once Ethan Smith shows up, we’ll ensure he can’t escape!”
