Under Prideful Peak, a large crowd had already gathered. At least a hundred people could be seen. Each of them looked unfriendly, their gazes fixed on Lachlan in the center. At this moment, Lachlan’s eyes were icy as he shielded Samantha and Nora behind him, wary of any sudden attacks.
Every now and then, there were insults and curses from the surroundings. Lachlan furrowed his brow, his gaze scanning back and forth among these people.
“So, these are the backers Samantha brought? They don’t seem impressive at all.”
“Hahaha! I think he’s just looking for death! Didn’t you see? As soon as he arrived, he openly demanded that Solomon come and meet him. How audacious!”
“Exactly! Doesn’t he know where this is? This is Prideful Peak! Solomon’s territory!”
As these voices continued to ring out, Samantha muttered to Lachlan beside her, “Mr. Willis, should we inform the elders about this?”
“I’m afraid that Solomon will bring his elders and come directly to pressure you!”
“In that case, you’ll be the one at a disadvantage.”
Listening to Samantha’s concerned words, Lachlan chuckled lightly and said, “No need! I have already informed the senior members within the sect! There’s no need to worry at all!”
“Just find a safe place to watch my performance later.”
“I will repay the grievances you and Nora have suffered during this period.”
The peak masters of the Broken Pulse Sect were at least in the Nascent Soul Realm, and Lachlan definitely couldn’t contend with them at the moment. However, Lachlan was confident that if it came to a fight, Sullivan would handle things for him. The Nascent Soul experts of Prideful Peak wouldn’t dare go too far.
Currently, it seemed that the sect master of Broken Pulse Sect was in seclusion, and this vice sect master held the highest authority in the sect.
Samantha thought Lachlan was referring to Kyrie when he mentioned senior members, and her expression froze. She had intended to speak up again, but the words stuck in her throat. Although Kyrie was also an elder of the Broken Pulse Sect, Samantha felt that Lachlan had no chance if the elders of Prideful Peak were determined to protect Solomon.
However, seeing Lachlan’s confident appearance, Samantha had no choice but to believe him.
While everyone had their own thoughts, a wild laughter suddenly came from the mountaintop of Prideful Peak. Soon after, Solomon’s voice resounded directly, “I want to see who dares to be so arrogant in Prideful Peak! I heard you even want me to personally come down and kneel before you to apologize?”
“For how many years has no one dared to be so arrogant in front of me!”
As his voice fell, Solomon himself appeared in front of Lachlan. He glanced up and down at Lachlan, then sneered and said, “Lachlan? The father of that little bastard? The backer Samantha brought?”
“Do you know the consequences of causing trouble in Prideful Peak?”
“At the very least, I’ll break your legs. At worst, I’ll expel you from the sect! Do you think you can bear the cost?”
After Solomon finished speaking, a ferocious expression covered his face.
Hehe!
Lachlan let out a cold laugh and calmly replied to Solomon, “I don’t think I need to bear those costs! However…”
“There are some costs you’ll have to bear!”
Hahaha!
Lachlan’s words once again caused Solomon to burst into laughter. As Solomon laughed mockingly, the people around him joined in with laughter.
None of them took Lachlan seriously. This scene infuriated Samantha who was standing nearby.
Lachlan’s face turned gloomy, and a chilling aura emanated from his body.
“I really want to know how long you can keep laughing.”
Lachlan completed his sentence, and his entire aura suddenly exploded!
A Golden Core-stage aura surged towards the people around him, causing an instant change in their expressions.
Apart from Samantha and a few others like Solomon, no one knew that Lachlan was actually a cultivator at the Golden Core stage! For a moment, murmurs spread through the crowd, and soon they all stepped back in unison. The scene was filled with astonishment.
Solomon was prepared for this. A powerful aura surged from his body, and a mocking smile lingered on his lips.
“Hehe, Lachlan!”
“So what if you’re at the Golden Core stage? Prideful Peak is not a place where you can act recklessly!”
“I am at the late stage of the Golden Core!”
“With your strength, you’re not even worth considering in front of me!”
Solomon believed that he had a two-level advantage over Lachlan in terms of cultivation and didn’t take him seriously.
Hmph!
Seeing Solomon’s attitude, Lachlan snorted coldly and was about to make a move.
Boom!
As Golden Core cultivators, both Lachlan and Solomon possessed formidable strength. However, after Lachlan made his move, Solomon’s expression instantly changed. He raised his palm to meet Lachlan’s incoming fist.
But in the next moment, accompanied by a terrifying residual wave, Solomon’s body was sent flying backward.
Lachlan’s punch made him feel an overwhelming force and sharpness.
Fortunately, Solomon had considerable strength himself, coupled with the protection of his magic treasures, so he didn’t suffer any serious injuries.
Just as Lachlan was preparing to attack again, a voice filled with anger and coldness suddenly resounded, “How dare you touch my son! Lachlan, you have quite the audacity!”
As the voice fell, a surge of true energy followed, instantly relieving the pressure on Solomon.
Joy filled his face!
His father had arrived!
“Dad!”
Solomon turned around, his eyes full of ecstatic delight as he shouted toward the figure rushing over behind him.
At this moment, three or four figures approached from a distance, with a middle-aged man exuding a chilling aura at the forefront.
The middle-aged man was adorned with various magic treasures, emitting radiant lights, giving off an extravagant appearance.
Upon arriving, the man first examined Solomon and, upon finding no injuries, his expression eased slightly.
In the next second, he stepped forward and coldly addressed Lachlan, “Lachlan! Just because Broken Pulse Sect invited you to join doesn’t mean you can act arrogantly and disregard everyone!”
“Let me tell you, when you come to Broken Pulse Sect, you must abide by its rules! This is not the secular world where you can do whatever you want!”
As the middle-aged man’s voice fell, the three or four individuals stepped forward, exerting their oppressive auras on Lachlan.
All three of them were peak experts of Prideful Peak, each possessing at least mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivation. As for Briggs, the master of Prideful Peak, his strength had reached the late Nascent Soul stage.
Seeing the newcomers, a cold light flashed in Lachlan’s eyes, but he immediately restrained his aura.
“Mayer Master, your son has bullied my daughter. Regardless of the circumstances, you should give an explanation for this.”
As Lachlan’s icy voice echoed, Briggs on the other side seemed to have already prepared a response and sneered.
He quickly took out several spirit stones from his body and threw them at Lachlan, speaking indifferently, “These ten spirit stones are my compensation to you! Spirit stones are scarce in the outside world, and each one is extremely precious. This compensation is not insignificant.”
