As soon as Kelsey Montgomery spoke, the high-ranking members of the Broken Pulse Sect fell silent.
Indeed!
In such a clan-destroying war, especially one that annihilates another force from the Ancient Plane, casualties are inevitable.
Kelsey Montgomery scanned the room and then softened his tone, saying, “However, if possible, it would be better to prevent the Ancient Willis family from activating the World Annihilation Array!”
“You all may leave now. Ernie Mccarthy, stay behind. Let’s think of a solution together!”
With that, the members of the Broken Pulse Sect left the council hall one by one.
Only the sect leader, Ernie Mccarthy, remained!
That night!
Outside the Dragon Tomb Ward!
A figure emerged from the ranks of the Broken Pulse Sect.
It was none other than Ernie Mccarthy, the sect leader of Broken Pulse Sect!
“Where is the head of the Ancient Willis family? I am Ernie Mccarthy, the leader of Broken Pulse Sect. Do you dare to come out and speak with me?”
His voice was powerful and echoed throughout the Ancient Willis family domain, reaching deep into the Dragon Tomb.
Hearing this domineering voice, the members of the Ancient Willis family inside the Dragon Tomb felt a surge of grief, hatred, and despair.
This was originally the domain of the Ancient Willis family!
But now, experts from the Broken Pulse Sect were guarding outside the Dragon Tomb, plundering within their domain with impunity.
Meanwhile, the Ancient Willis family could only cower inside the Dragon Tomb, awaiting their doom.
This disparity drove everyone to the brink of madness.
By now, due to the invasion of death energy, more than a hundred weak and elderly members of the Ancient Willis family had already perished.
And it had been less than a day.
Hearing Ernie Mccarthy’s voice, a group of high-ranking members of the Willis family turned their gazes towards Maximus Willis.
“Patriarch, what should we do? Does Broken Pulse Sect really want to negotiate?”
“We must not fall into their trap!”
“What trick is Broken Pulse Sect trying to play?”
Maximus Willis’s expression flickered for a moment before he finally said in a deep voice, “I’ll go out and see!”
“Maximus, be careful!”
The old patriarch Michael Wills spoke gravely at this moment.
Maximus Willis sneered, “Since you all think I’m a sinner of the family, I must do something.
Let’s see what Ernie Mccarthy really wants.”
With that, Maximus Willis stepped forward and walked towards the Dragon Tomb Ward.
Michael Wills and Reginald Wills, two Ancient Fragmented Void Ancestors, exchanged glances and followed him.
“Ernie Mccarthy, what do you want to say?”
Maximus Willis asked coldly.
Ernie Mccarthy smiled and looked down at this current head of the Willis family. “Patriarch of the Willis family, do you dare to talk alone? What I want to discuss might be your family’s last hope for survival.”
“Talk alone? How?”
Maximus Willis’s expression changed slightly as he asked indifferently.
“You come out, or… I go in?”
“If you come out, you can bring these two elders with you. Likewise, if I go in, I will bring two Powerful Fragmented Void experts with me.
This way, both sides will be safe.”
Ernie Mccarthy said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Maximus Willis’s expression fluctuated as if he was weighing his options.
The next second, his gaze met Ernie Mccarthy’s eyes and saw a peculiar look in them.
“Maximus, absolutely not! Whether we three go out or let their three Powerful Fragmented Void experts in, it is disadvantageous for our Ancient Willis family!”
“Don’t fall for Broken Pulse Sect’s trick!”
Michael Wills and Reginald Wills urgently advised.
Their eyes were filled with vigilance, hostility, and hatred towards Ernie Mccarthy!
If they went out and were ambushed by Broken Pulse Sect’s eight Fragmented Void experts and killed outside, then the peak combat power of the Ancient Willis family would be completely wiped out.
Similarly, if Ernie Mccarthy and his three Powerful Fragmented Void experts entered the Dragon Tomb and couldn’t be quickly eliminated, it would spell disaster for other members of the Ancient Willis family.
So no matter how they thought about it, they couldn’t agree.
However, at this moment, Maximus Willis turned around to face the two elders of the Willis family with a look of determination.
He said righteously, “Elders, I am ashamed to face our family! Perhaps everything I did before was wrong.
But my ultimate goal was still to see our family rise quickly and hope that you elders could live beyond two hundred years!
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. Our family has fallen into this dire situation. No matter what I say now, it’s my fault too.
Now that our family is in a desperate situation, I have no choice.
Since Ernie Mccarthy wants to talk, I’ll talk to him. Maybe it can really give our family a glimmer of hope.
But rest assured elders, I won’t let you take risks with me. I’ll go out alone to meet Ernie Mccarthy!”
Hearing these words, Michael Wills and Reginald Wills were moved.
“Maximus…”
“Sigh, who would have thought that in this desperate situation for our family, you would show such responsibility!”
“Our family’s downfall is also partly our fault. We shouldn’t entirely blame you.”
The two elders looked at Maximus Willis with some emotion and admiration.
Moments later…
Inside the Willis family’s main hall!
Only Maximus Willis, Ernie Mccarthy, and Kelsey Montgomery from Broken Pulse Sect were present in the room.
After leaving several key treasures needed to activate the Dragon Tomb Ward and World Annihilation Array with Michael Wills and others inside the Dragon Tomb, Maximus Willis indeed came out alone.
“Ernie Mccarthy, what do you want to discuss?”
Maximus Willis asked calmly after sitting down.
The reason he agreed to meet Ernie Mccarthy alone was because of a meaningful look Ernie had given him earlier.
That look was profound!
“Hehehe, Maximus Willis, head of the Willis family. I’ve long heard of you!”
Ernie Mccarthy smiled at Maximus Willis and cupped his hands slightly.
His tone carried a hint of amusement and mockery.
Kelsey Montgomery also looked at Maximus Willis with a faint smile.
“Heard of me?”
Maximus Willis felt a tinge of sarcasm in their words as he asked with a grim expression.
