“Hahahaha… Of course, I’ve heard a lot about you!”
Ernie McCarthy laughed heartily a few times, then looked at Maximus Willis and said, “Maximus Willis, the position of the head of the Wills family, is said to have been seized by you, right?
Your ruthless and decisive methods, your calculated and strategic mind, truly make me admire you!”
Hearing this, Maximus Willis’s face turned ashen, and he glared at Ernie McCarthy, asking, “Ernie McCarthy, did you call me out here just to say these things?
If that’s the case, then I won’t be staying!”
The way Maximus Willis obtained his position as head of the family was indeed not honorable.
He felt that Ernie McCarthy’s so-called admiration was actually mocking and ridiculing him.
Ernie McCarthy waved his hand and said, “Maximus Willis, don’t be angry! I called you out to discuss serious matters!
What I mean is, from what I know, you are an extremely selfish and unscrupulous person, right?
For your own benefit, there should be nothing you wouldn’t do, correct?”
As his words fell, Maximus Willis’s expression changed unpredictably, and he asked, “Ernie McCarthy, what exactly do you mean?”
Ernie McCarthy asked, “In your opinion as the head of the Wills family, do you think the Ancient Willis family still has any hope?”
Hearing this, Maximus Willis remained silent with a gloomy face.
“Do you think that after seven days, when the Dragon Tomb Ward disappears, you as the head of the family will have any chance of surviving the siege by our Broken Pulse Sect’s eight Powerful Fragmented Void experts?”
Ernie McCarthy asked again.
Maximus Willis took a deep breath and silently shook his head.
However, his eyes flashed with a hint of ruthless madness as he said, “But none of your Broken Pulse Sect members within the Ancient Willis family territory will survive either!”
Ernie McCarthy squinted his eyes and nodded, saying, “The head of the Wills family is referring to the Ancient Willis family’s World Annihilation Array, right?”
“You know it well!”
Maximus Willis sneered.
“Of course I know. That’s precisely why I invited you out here for a private conversation.”
Ernie McCarthy said in a serious tone and then continued, “Now, there is a way out for you. I wonder if you are willing to take this step?
All we want from the Broken Pulse Sect is the Candle Dragon Corpse in the Dragon Tomb that you are guarding.
If you agree, we can withdraw. How about it?”
As his words fell, Maximus Willis’s pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately shook his head, saying, “Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Even if I agree, the other members of the Ancient Willis family will defend that dragon bone to their deaths!”
“Hahahaha…”
Hearing this, Kelsey Montgomery, who was sitting there, burst into laughter and looked at Maximus Willis, saying word by word, “Whoever wants to defend it to their death should just die then.
Once those who need to die are dead, you will still be the head of the Ancient Willis family.
Isn’t that better than dying yourself?
Someone as smart as you should understand this, right?”
“Of course, if you don’t understand, I can send you on your way right now!”
Kelsey Montgomery’s tone carried a hint of killing intent as he finished speaking.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
At the same time, besides Ernie McCarthy and Kelsey Montgomery present there were three other Powerful Fragmented Void experts who appeared.
Maximus Willis’s expression changed unpredictably.
Five Fragmented Void experts could easily kill him!
…
To the west of Edoland lies a vast hilly region called the Delorsano Mountains.
Currently, this mountain range was shrouded in white mist formed by spiritual energy.
Lachlan Willis had arranged to meet others at a branch of the Sun Moon Sect established within the Delorsano Mountains.
On his way back to Edoland at top speed, Lachlan Willis witnessed the once peaceful secular world undergoing earth-shattering changes.
With each appearance of a Spirit Fissure came various disasters.
Ordinary people appeared so fragile and helpless in the face of this upheaval.
Many media outlets were even spreading doomsday theories.
Whether this world was truly facing its end was something Lachlan Willis couldn’t afford to worry about now.
He only knew that if he didn’t hurry up, the Ancient Willis family might face its doom.
Upon returning to Edoland, Lachlan Willis saw that the entire city was in chaos.
When he arrived at the Sun Moon Sect branch within its territory, Violet Willis was already there.
Vinnie Stuart had also rushed over from Sun Moon Isle.
Elder Fiery Dragon, Chester Stuart, and three other strong members who had just broken through to the Hollow Void Realm were also waiting there.
Among these three Powerful Hollow Void experts was Wynne Stuart, the plump girl who had participated in the Star Path Seed Selection Tournament with Lachlan Willis.
The Sun Moon Sect branch was also shrouded in white mist with spiritual energy so dense it seemed ready to condense into droplets at any moment.
Due to the Spirit Fissure, the Celestial Spirit Qi outside was incredibly rich. Within the sect’s territory, Lachlan Willis had set up a Myriad Transformation Energy Array to absorb and convert all Celestial Spirit Qi and various energies within a hundred-mile radius. The concentration of spiritual energy was unimaginable.
This time upon returning, Lachlan Willis didn’t even have time to properly accompany Nora.
After a brief glance at his daughter and in-laws, Lachlan Willis convened a meeting.
The most powerful members of the Sun Moon Sect and Violet Willis were all present in this meeting room.
“Everyone, I have received confirmed news that the Broken Pulse Sect has already started attacking the Ancient Willis family!”
“The Ancient Willis family has enmity with us and Sun Moon Sect!”
“But our hatred with Broken Pulse Sect runs even deeper!”
“This time, I’ve decided to intervene in this ancient conflict. We cannot let Broken Pulse Sect easily destroy the Wills family and seize all their heritage and foundation.”
“Otherwise, Broken Pulse Sect will become even stronger and pose an even greater threat to our Sun Moon Sect. It could even become a future disaster and hidden danger.”
“The Ancient Willis family may fall into our hands but must not be destroyed by Broken Pulse Sect!”
