After a moment!
Inside the office of the Business Department, Tommy handed the phone to Lachlan.
“Mr. Willis, this is our Sect Leader Leonel Stuart. You can talk to our Sect Leader!”
Lachlan raised an eyebrow and picked up the satellite phone.
“Master Stuart of the Sun Moon Sect?”
The other person responded with a “Hmm” and asked in a deep voice, “Are you the client of today? May I know your surname?”
“My nickname is Lachie Fire, you can call me that.”
Lachlan said casually.
“Hehe… You are being secretive, not even revealing your name. How can I believe the information you provided?”
Leonel chuckled coldly, his tone filled with doubt.
Lachlan said in a deep voice, “Master Stuart, you’re being shallow. Even if I tell you a name, it could be fake. Why bother with such superficial matters? The key issue now is whether the Sun Moon Sect is willing to cooperate with me to snatch this Spiritual Vein from the hidden Willis family. Or will you sit back and watch the hidden Willis family occupy the Spiritual Vein, continue to grow stronger, and suppress the Sun Moon Sect? I believe this is an opportunity for the Sun Moon Sect. After the matter is done, we can divide the island between us. Sun Moon Sect can occupy half of the island and the Spiritual Vein. How about that?”
Lachlan no longer mentioned money and went straight to discussing the island.
“Half? Hehe…”
Hearing this, Leonel chuckled indifferently, and his laughter seemed to contain a hint of mockery.
“Young man, if I’m not mistaken, you don’t have the strength to contend with the hidden Willis family, do you? Even a Nascent Soul expert is not someone you can compete against. So, if we are to fight for this island, the Sun Moon Sect will be the main force, and you will only provide information. Do you think it’s reasonable to give us only half of the Spiritual Vein?”
“Well, that island and Spiritual Vein are said to be quite significant, and giving half is not a small amount. Master Stuart, sometimes information is more crucial.”
Lachlan said with a smile.
The other party snorted, seemingly not wanting to dwell on this issue for the time being. “Let’s discuss the specifics after the matter is done. The current problem is how you can make me believe this information. Sending out a Nascent Soul expert is not a joke. You need to provide sufficient evidence to convince me that there is indeed such an island.”
After those words, Lachlan couldn’t help but frown.
After pondering for a few seconds, he chuckled and said, “So what if I send out a Nascent Soul expert? Even if they are idle, what’s the big deal about sending them out for a while? Are you afraid that I will deceive and kill your Nascent Soul experts? I heard this information from someone else, and I know it’s true, but to be honest, I don’t have much evidence. Master Stuart, I’ll say it again, this could be an opportunity for Sun Moon Sect. It’s up to you to weigh the options.”
“You…”
“Hmph!”
Upon hearing this, Leonel seemed extremely displeased with Lachlan’s words. He coldly snorted and directly hung up the phone.
Who is he?
He is the Sect Leader of the Sun Moon Sect!
The Sun Moon Sect, as a former ancient sect, may have declined now, but it is still a giant compared to others. In the hidden world, it is undoubtedly a heavyweight.
Such a martial sect’s Sect Leader, his status is self-evident.
When has someone been so impolite to him?
What did it mean that their Nascent Soul experts were idle?
It seemed like he didn’t take people seriously…
At this time, Lachlan looked at the hung-up phone and couldn’t help but frown.
What does this mean?
Is it impossible to negotiate?
“How did it go?”
Tommy asked from the side.
Franco also stared at Lachlan, wearing an inquisitive expression.
“Your Sect Leader seems to lack courage. When such an opportunity presents itself, even if it’s fake, one should still make an effort, right? Hehe…”
Lachlan shook his head disappointedly, his expression showing a hint of disdain.
“What did you say? You can’t be disrespectful to the Sect Master!”
Franco’s face turned cold at the remark.
He seemed ready to teach Lachlan a lesson.
Lachlan raised an eyebrow, showing no fear in his expression.
At present, he belonged to the ancient level and couldn’t easily attack others in the outside world.
Even if the other person was from the hidden or ordinary ancient martial level, they would face the sanctions of the Orderwarden.
However, there were loopholes in these rules and several conditions to consider!
One was that as long as he didn’t use true energy, he wouldn’t be detected by the Orderwarden.
Secondly, if the other person was higher in cultivation level, they would not be protected by this rule.
Apart from these, if he was attacked by the other person, he could retaliate without any problem.
Therefore, Lachlan had no reason to fear Franco in front of him.
The other party was a strong late Golden Core expert, higher in cultivation level than himself, and if the other party made the first move, Lachlan could freely counterattack without any concerns.
Even if he was at the early Golden Core stage and fought against a late Golden Core expert, Lachlan had no fear when he went all out.
However, at this moment, Tommy’s satellite phone, which was specifically used to communicate with the sect, rang again.
“Tell that kid not to leave yet. Inform him that the Sect Master will discuss it with the senior members before giving him an answer.”
On the other end of the phone, Leonel’s voice was low.
“Yes, Sect Master!”
Tommy nodded and signaled to Franco.
The next moment, he smiled at Lachlan and said, “Mr. Willis, the Sect Master is discussing with the senior members. Please wait for a moment.”
Upon hearing this, Lachlan couldn’t help but chuckle.
He thought the Sect Master had a big temper and would cut off the discussion in anger.
So, it turned out that his own words didn’t count?
Meanwhile, inside the Sun Moon Sect!
Leonel quickly summoned several influential high-ranking members of the sect.
“This is how things are. I received some information…”
The Sect Master of the Sun Moon Sect explained the situation to the high-ranking members of the sect.
After listening, the eyes of the people present couldn’t help but light up.
“Spiritual Vein?”
These two words made everyone’s eyes shine.
What was the biggest crisis facing the Sun Moon Sect right now?
It was the depletion of the sect’s original Spiritual Vein. Without it, they were like eating empty air.
They were sustaining the sect’s development with the existing cultivation resources.
If this continued for several decades, centuries, or even thousands of years, by the time the current generation of strong experts in the sect passed away, the Sun Moon Sect would probably lose its status as a hidden sect.
Hearing that a new Spiritual Vein had been discovered, the high-ranking members of the sect present became excited.
However, at this moment, Leonel’s tone became serious. “However, we don’t know if the information provided by that young man is true or false! He hasn’t presented any evidence to prove the authenticity of this Spiritual Vein. Sending out Nascent Soul experts is not a trivial matter, so I want to ask everyone…”
“What’s not a trivial matter? I think that young man is not wrong about one thing! Our sect’s Nascent Soul experts have nothing better to do. Even if the information is false, what harm is there in going out for a trip? And if it turns out to be true, the significance for Sun Moon Sect goes without saying. We should send them! We should definitely send them! That young man asked for a minimum of three Nascent Soul experts, so let’s send five from our sect!”
Before Leonel could finish speaking, a voice rang out.
One of the bearded old men sitting there glared at Leonel without a good temper.
Although he was called an old man, there wasn’t a single wrinkle on his face, making him look like a strong middle-aged man.
Only the gray beard indicated that he was not young.
He had two huge hammers hanging on both sides of his waist, with the large hammerheads almost dragging on the ground.
His muscles were as solid as granite, clearly showing that he had a hot-tempered and explosive personality.
“Senior Fiery, are you in favor?” Leonel asked with a bitter smile.
The people he had called today were absolute top-level figures of the sect, including former Sect Masters and Grand Elders.
Each of them was his uncles or even ancestors.
He didn’t dare to have any objections when the other party spoke like this.
“Of course, I agree! If it’s true, Sun Moon Sect will once again possess a Spiritual Vein. And even if it’s false, what’s the harm in going out for a trip? What could we lose?” Fiery Dragon said naturally.
“You’re right, Senior Fiery! Moreover, this Spiritual Vein is currently in the hands of the Willis family, a hidden family. How can we let it go without taking action? Let’s go!”
“I also agree to go!”
“Regardless of its authenticity, we should give it a try!”
“Let’s make a move! If we continue like this, Sun Moon Sect will decline year by year.”
“This is an opportunity for our sect!”
