Chapter 108: Ethan’s Gambit
'Ding,
The [Heaven's Virtue] has been triggered.
'Ding,
The host has killed a vile cultivator who thrived on bloodshed, deceit, and torment.
'Ding,
The host has successfully avenged the countless cultivators killed at that vile cultivator's hands.
'Ding,
The host has been rewarded with 5,000 Life Points and the right to select one Life Card from the low-level cards previously drawn.
'What? 5,000 Life Points?'
Ethan had not expected that his [Heaven's Virtue] would be triggered, much less that he would receive 5,000 Life Points.
'It's not just 5,000 Life Points but also a low-level Life Card that I want. I just spent 10,000 Life Points to buy the talent, and I have already earned 6,000 Life Points plus a low-level Life Card.'
Looking at the rewards from his [Heaven's Virtue], Ethan once again felt he had made the right decision to buy it from the Heavenly Options.
'I don't have the time for this. I still have to finish the last step.'
Soon, Ethan came out of his thoughts, took Galen's storage ring, and stored the corpse inside before rushing towards the exit of the Azure Serpent Realm.
'Swiish'
With his speed, in less than half an hour, Ethan was successfully out of the Azure Serpent Realm.
At the entrance of the Azure Serpent Realm, the area was bustling with cultivators hastily making their way out of the secret realm before nightfall.
'It's perfect that there are so many cultivators here.'
Standing at the entrance, Ethan smiled at the dozens of cultivators and, altering his voice, he shouted, "I don't know who this b*stard is that dared to sneak attack me only to get himself killed."
'Swiish'
Ethan took out Galen's corpse from the storage ring and threw it out of the secret realm.
"For the next couple of days, I will be exploring the Azure Serpent Realm. Anyone who wants to take revenge for him, they can patiently wait for me to come out of the secret realm, or you could just find me inside it."
After saying those words, Ethan ran into the depths of the Azure Serpent Realm.
'With this, my last step of the plan is done.'
Ethan smiled and went back to the secret grove.
'Huh? Who is that?'
'I have never seen him before.'
'Is something interesting going to happen in the next couple of days?'
'It depends on the corpse's identity. I hope he has some good background and entertains us for the next few days.'
'We will only know that after we see whose corpse it is.'
Soon, the onlookers who were leaving the Azure Serpent Realm became curious and excited but didn't dare to go close to the corpse.
If the corpse's relatives were unreasonable, they might get killed for checking.
Finally, someone couldn't hold back his curiosity and turned over the corpse.
"T-this… this is Sect Disciple Galen."
"What? You mean the one who recently hosted the Cultivators' Gathering?"
"Yes, and he was just on the verge of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm."
"Someone inform the sect. I heard his elder brother is a Golden Core Realm Cultivator and an Elder of the Sect. The masked killer will be killed."
Soon, everyone was shocked, and all the loose cultivators were excited after seeing that it was Galen who was dead.
Although Galen always looked down on the loose cultivators and even killed countless of them,
As for the Sect Disciples, they also seemed happy because, with his brother's backing, Galen was always overbearing, and they always had to bootlick him with praises.
Anyway, they still carried the corpse back to the sect and informed Ronan about Galen's death.
"What? Galen is dead?"
Once he learned about Galen's death, Ronan was shocked for a moment before fury built in his chest.
"Who did it? Who had the audacity to kill my brother?!"
Ronan's furious roar shook the entire hall as his aura surged uncontrollably.
"We don't know the killer; however, he issued a challenge to either enter the Azure Serpent Realm or wait for him outside if anyone wants to avenge Galen."
The disciples standing before him trembled, not daring to meet his gaze as they narrated everything that Ethan had announced to the world.
"Huh? He wants me to either enter the Azure Serpent Realm or wait outside until he arrives?"
Ronan clenched his fists in anger as he flew to the Azure Serpent Realm in less than ten minutes.

"Everyone, you must have seen Galen's killer, right? I have a task for you."
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Azure Serpent Realm, Ronan issued a bounty on Galen's killer. "Whoever brings my brother's killer alive will receive a Golden Core Pill as a reward."
"What? A Golden Core Pill?'
"It is said that a Golden Core Pill increases the success rate of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm by 50%."
"I want it… as long as I have it, I can easily break through to the Golden Core Realm."

Ronan's offering was very tempting, and all the loose cultivators who dreamed of becoming Golden Core Realm cultivators were instantly hooked.
Without wasting any time, they hurriedly rushed into the Azure Serpent Realm.
'The killer has taken Galen's storage ring; that means he must have that thing on him. The moment he takes it out, I can actively track him.'
Suddenly, Ronan thought of something, and he summoned four Night Demon Puppets with Perfect Foundation Realm Cultivation.
"You two, also enter the Azure Serpent Realm. The moment you sense it, bring that b*stard to me."
"As for you two, stand guard at the entrance and catch him if you sense the killer."
After giving his commands to the four Night Demon Puppets, Ronan took one last look at the entrance of the Azure Serpent Realm and turned towards the two disciples standing guard at the entrance.
"Elder."
The two guarding disciples hurriedly bowed, their faces full of anxiety.
"From now on, anyone who leaves the Azure Serpent Realm will be thoroughly checked by my servant. You must stop all the cultivators and make sure they go through my servant."
Ronan ordered them, making those two disciples hurriedly nod their heads.
"Raven, use this [Truth Judgement Mirror] to ask the proper questions regarding Galen's death and find his killer."
Ronan ordered his loyal servant, who had accompanied him for years, to take care of Galen's killer.
"Don't worry about it, Master. I will find the killer and bring him to you."
Raven, with a scar on his face, looked quite dangerous as he assured Ronan.
"With you working on it, I can focus on my cultivation."
Ronan patted Raven's shoulder and returned to the sect.
Unlike Galen, who wanted to personally take revenge on Silas's killer, Ronan didn't have such plans.
He was self-centered and cared more about becoming powerful; however, that didn't mean he would let his brother's killer roam free.
He would take revenge, but he wouldn't put aside his current goals.
'This idiot… he should have just broken through to the Golden Core Realm before avenging Little Silas.'
Ronan shook his head in disappointment, unsure whether it was for his brother's death or the loss of a potential Golden Core cultivator in his faction.
