Maximus Willis’s face turned stern as he coldly snorted and said, “After I resolutely refused, Ernie McCarthy and several Powerful Fragmented Void members of the Broken Pulse Sect were indeed enraged and wanted to attack me.
However, I told them that if I died, the World Annihilation Array would be triggered.
In the end, they were still wary of it!”
Upon hearing this, the members of the Ancient Willis family couldn’t help but show a hint of excitement.
“Hmph! The Broken Pulse Sect is ultimately afraid of the World Annihilation Array!”
“Of course! Unless they want to die here with us!”
“The World Annihilation Array can even bring down Great Vehicle experts. How dare the Broken Pulse Sect act recklessly?”
“This is our Ancient Willis family’s greatest trump card.”
Everyone chimed in!
At this moment, Maximus Willis’s tone changed as he looked around and said, “However, the Broken Pulse Sect’s intention is to have a high-level negotiation with us tomorrow.
I… agreed to it!
After all, being trapped in the Dragon Tomb like this is not a solution.
Our powerful members can hold on, but our weaker clansmen are dying every day from the death energy’s erosion!
I’ve thought it over. If the Broken Pulse Sect is willing to withdraw, it might be worth negotiating even if we have to pay some price.
Sigh…”
As he finished speaking, Maximus Willis let out a heavy sigh, carrying a hint of sorrow and helplessness.
After his words fell, Michael Wills and Reginald Wills, along with other Powerful Clan Guardians, remained silent for a moment.
After a while, Michael Wills also sighed.
“Maximus, you’re right! We can’t just watch our clansmen, especially the elderly, women, and children, die here day by day.
Nor do we want to see the Ancient Willis family completely perish when the Dragon Tomb Ward disappears.
Perishing together with the Broken Pulse Sect should be our last resort.
If we can still negotiate and make the Broken Pulse Sect retreat, that would be best.
Even if it means paying some price!”
Michael Wills said helplessly.
“Yes… Maximus, you did the right thing by agreeing.”
Reginald Wills also nodded.
Maximus Willis responded with a “hmm” and then looked at Master Michael, hesitating to speak.
Michael Wills seemed to understand something. In the next second, he took out a black stone from his spatial bag and handed it back to Maximus Willis.
This black stone emitted a dark luster, resembling a piece of black jade with a glossy appearance.
It was carved into the shape of a dragon.
Upon closer inspection, one could feel an unsettling aura emanating from it.
It seemed to contain world-destroying energy.
This Dragon-Shaped Black Jade was the “Death Dragon Jade” used to activate the World Annihilation Array.
There were two pieces of Death Dragon Jade!
One was held by the head of the Ancient Willis family for generations.
The other was held by the most powerful Powerful Clan Guardian.
This meant that Reginald Wills, who had reached Mid-stage Fragmented Void, currently held one piece of Death Dragon Jade.
The other piece should be in the hands of Maximus Willis, the head of the family.
However, since Maximus Willis had gone to negotiate with the Broken Pulse Sect earlier, he had prudently handed it over to Master Michael for safekeeping.
Now that Maximus Willis had returned, Michael Wills handed back this piece of Death Dragon Jade to him!
The night passed without incident!
All members of the Ancient Willis family stayed in the death energy-filled Dragon Tomb that night, awaiting the high-level negotiations the next day.
After some calculations, Master Michael could still see a glimmer of hope for the Ancient Willis family in this great calamity.
Perhaps that glimmer of hope lay in tomorrow’s high-level negotiations.
Meanwhile, Lachlan Willis led members of the Sun Moon Sect and Violet Willis swiftly towards the location of the Ancient Willis family.
The Ancient Wynter Family was also on their way!
But besides these two factions, several other groups were also converging towards the Ancient Willis family.
In the vast desert, four of the strongest Ancient Forces were moving. Gareth Kwan, a Late-stage Fragmented Void peak expert from Tian Shan Sect, along with their current leader Ulva Kwan and over ten Powerful Fragmented Void members, set off.
Leader Ulva Kwan was also a Late-stage Fragmented Void expert.
“Gareth Kwan, do we really need such a large force? Including you and me, we have twelve Powerful Fragmented Void experts!”
Before departing, Ulva Kwan couldn’t help but ask Gareth Kwan.
“Hmph! The Broken Pulse Sect wants to annihilate the Ancient Willis family. The Ancient Willis family is likely doomed.
Our purpose this time is to get a share of the spoils.
If our strength is weak, how can we intimidate the Broken Pulse Sect?
As far as I know, the Broken Pulse Sect has nine Fragmentation Void experts this time!”
Gareth Kwan sneered.
Then his tone changed: “And do you think we’ll only face the Broken Pulse Sect?
If I’m not mistaken, we’re not the only ones coming to share in the Ancient Willis family’s spoils this time!”
Hearing this, Ulva Kwan nodded in agreement.
“You’re right! We might also have to deal with other Ancient Forces wanting a share!”
In the vast Kunlun Mountain Range, shrouded in mist and dense Celestial Spirit Qi, Master Ho from Kunlun Divine Mountains also left his sect for the Ancient Willis family.
In Priocia Qilu Region, a group from Penglai Fairy Island hidden in a camel-shaped formation also drove their Sky Control artifact rapidly towards a certain direction.
Adele Harper stood on a new flying sword with a complex expression on her fairy-like face.
“The Ancient Willis family is facing great calamity!
Lachlan Willis, will you go too?
Last time you treated me like that, took my Four Elements Divine Fire and two celestial-grade artifacts!
But you spared my life and even healed me, pulling me back from death’s door.
If I see you again, what should I do?”
