The decision made by Ancestor Garraway and Ancestor Salazar was still within Lachlan’s acceptable range.
He knew well that the Ancient Wynter Family would never truly make him the head of the family.
Having his grandfather take the position was the best possible outcome.
When Sigmund Wynter heard this decision, although still filled with resentment, he did not dare to go against the will of the two ancestors.
The fact that Ancestor Salazar could kick him away with one blow said it all.
Moments later, Lachlan was invited alone by Ancestor Garraway and Ancestor Salazar to the mountain peak where they lived in seclusion.
Buzz!
At this moment, a powerful aura was suddenly released from Ancestor Garraway.
It was clearly his domain of rules!
The domain instantly enveloped Lachlan.
Lachlan sneered and unhesitatingly released his own domain filled with the power of Death Thunderbolt’s Rules.
Indeed!
Now, having created his own Heaven and Earth’s Rules, he could also release his own domain of rules.
Domains of rules cannot cancel each other out.
However, Ancestor Garraway could clearly feel that Lachlan’s domain was far more powerful than his ordinary Way of Fire.
For a moment, he was secretly shocked.
He immediately retracted his domain.
He and Ancestor Salazar exchanged a glance, both showing a bitter smile on their faces.
Lachlan appeared to be only at the Mid-stage Hollow Void, but he had already mastered a domain of rules that should belong to a Powerful Fragmented Void.
He was clearly a pseudo-Hollow Void, but truly a Fragmentation Void…
“It seems that the two of us are really not your match anymore!”
Ancestor Garraway said with a bitter smile.
Ancestor Salazar shook his head, “It seems we should thank Lachlan for saving face for us old folks just now!”
In that situation, Lachlan had righteously accused Sigmund Wynter of cursing him as the new clan leader, which seemed like sophistry.
But undoubtedly, it gave the two ancestors of the Wynter family an out.
Otherwise, facing the pleas of the family elders and the situation where the clan leader had an arm crippled, it would have been extremely embarrassing for them as ancestors of the Wynter family if they dared not act against Lachlan or were not his match if they did.
Lachlan’s “righteous argument” and subsequent praise of “the ancestors’ wisdom” saved face for both Ancestor Garraway and Ancestor Salazar.
Thus, Ancestor Salazar said that Lachlan had saved face for them.
And indeed, it was so!
Ancestor Garraway looked at Lachlan with a sigh, “To be honest, when I encouraged you to go in, I thought you might never come out again.
But I didn’t expect you not only to come out but also to eliminate the source of misfortune for the Wynter family.
Your strength has also increased. It truly makes me feel ashamed!”
Hearing this, Lachlan smiled faintly, “Ancestor Garraway, there’s no need to feel ashamed. I should be thanking you!”
“Thank me? Well… entering the Lost Land, it seems you had quite an opportunity.
I can feel that the self-created rules you have mastered are incredibly terrifying in power, right?”
Ancestor Garraway said.
Lachlan smiled but did not speak.
His eyes flashed with a hint of nostalgia.
His thanks to Ancestor Garraway were not because he had strengthened his power in the Lost Land.
It was because, in that lost dream, he had vividly seen his parents once again.
Even though it was just his inner demon.
“Lachlan, you have eliminated the source of misfortune for our Wynter family. Naturally, we should repay you.
Tell us, what do you need? As long as we have it in the Wynter family, we won’t be stingy.
Or if you need us to do something, as long as we can do it, we won’t refuse!”
Ancestor Salazar sincerely expressed at this moment.
Hearing this, Lachlan responded with an “Oh?”.
The next second, his eyes showed a hint of coldness as he asked in a deep voice, “I want to know about the current high-end combat power of the Ancient Wynter Family. If possible, I want the Wynter family to help me attack another family. Is that feasible?”
Ancestor Garraway and Ancestor Salazar’s faces immediately changed.
“Which family?”
Ancestor Garraway asked.
“The Ancient Willis Family!”
Lachlan’s voice carried a hint of coldness.
As soon as he spoke, Ancestor Garraway and Ancestor Salazar’s faces changed dramatically!
“What? You want us to help you attack the Ancient Willis Family? This…
Are you joking?”
Ancestor Garraway asked in shock and disbelief.
“Of course not. What’s wrong? Is the Ancient Wynter Family afraid of the Ancient Willis Family?”
Lachlan shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of mockery and provocation.
Ancestor Garraway and Ancestor Salazar smiled bitterly. The latter said, “To be honest, if it were thirty years ago, the Wynter family might not have feared the Ancient Willis Family.
But now, even if we don’t want to face it, we have to admit that our Ancient Wynter Family’s strength is not as good as that of the Ancient Willis Family.”
“Lachlan, asking our Wynter family to attack the Ancient Willis Family is asking us to bring about our own destruction?
Although you have done a great favor for our Wynter family, this request is really…”
“Yes! Lachlan, your mother is from the Wynter family. You have Wynter blood running through your veins. Do you want to see the Wynter family destroyed?
We really can’t fulfill this request.”
Ancestor Garraway also smiled bitterly.
Seeing their attitude, a hint of mockery flashed across Lachlan’s face.
He thought to himself whether people from the Ancient Wynter Family were prone to going back on their word.
They had just vowed to repay him moments ago.
However, he did not give up completely but continued, “I have looked into the Ancient Willis Family. They once had six Powerful Fragmented Voids!
But now, as far as I know, half of their Powerful Fragmented Voids are dead.
Currently, only three Fragmentation Voids remain!
If I join forces with the Ancient Wynter Family, we might be able to shake the Ancient Willis Family.”
