As Adele Harper’s words fell, her gaze shifted to the figure standing at the front of the Ancient Willis family.
Her eyes flickered with complexity.
Lachlan Willis, if I can protect you this time, at least it will repay the favor you showed me last time by not killing me.
At least, I will have a clear conscience.
“I wonder who it is that Adele Harper wants to take?” Master Ho, the leader of Kunlun Divine Mountains, asked in a deep voice.
At this moment, all the various forces turned their attention to Adele Harper.
Penglai Fairy Island was powerful, and this time they had brought sixteen Fragmentation Void experts, two of whom were at the peak of the later stages of Fragmentation Void.
Under normal circumstances, giving Adele Harper the opportunity to take someone with her, as long as it didn’t affect the overall situation, wasn’t too much to ask.
After all, none of the Ancient Forces present wanted to cross Penglai Fairy Island!
“He!” Adele Harper pointed her finger at Lachlan Willis.
The moment she spoke, the faces of the Tian Shan Sect, Hall of the Three Realms, and Ancient Wagner Clan members all changed.
Even Kunlun Divine Mountains frowned.
The Tian Shan Sect, Hall of the Three Realms, and Ancient Wagner Clan all considered Lachlan Willis a target for death.
But Adele Harper wanted to protect him?
Although Kunlun Divine Mountains didn’t have deep animosity with Lachlan Willis, the Mirror of Trials made them no friends of his either.
“Adele Harper, you’ve really surprised me!
What, you want to protect me? I thought you would hate me!”
At this moment, a hearty laugh rang out.
Lachlan Willis stood there calmly, unaffected by the powerful Fragmentation Void experts around him.
In fact, he even wore a faintly amused expression as he looked at Adele Harper and asked.
Upon hearing Lachlan Willis’ words, Adele Harper felt a ripple in her heart.
She had seen many so-called heroes and warriors among her peers and elders, but she had never encountered someone like Lachlan Willis, who could remain this composed in the face of death.
“I admit, I hate you too! You tried to kill me in the Mirror of Trials, and you even stole my Four Elements Divine Fire and two of my magical treasures.
But I, Adele Harper, am someone who values love and hate clearly and keeps my promises.
Since I said I owed you a favor, I will repay it.
Now, Lachlan Willis, come over here!
Come to Penglai Fairy Island. Whether the Ancient Willis family falls or not, Penglai Fairy Island will protect you!”
Adele Harper took a deep breath and looked at Lachlan Willis as she spoke softly.
When the words left her mouth, the faces of the Tian Shan Sect, Hall of the Three Realms’ Harlow Lowe, and the Ancient Wagner Clan all darkened.
They all wanted Lachlan Willis dead, but they didn’t want to offend Penglai Fairy Island either.
For a moment, they all weighed in their minds whether to first wipe out the Ancient Willis family, reap the benefits, and then find an opportunity to kill Lachlan Willis later.
After all, with Lachlan Willis now possessing the Dao Principle Domain, he was no longer within the protection scope of the Seed of the Star Path.
The experts from the Ancient Willis family, Sun Moon Sect, and the ancient Wynter family all focused on Lachlan Willis.
If Lachlan Willis accepted Penglai Fairy Island’s protection and no longer fought for the Ancient Willis family, figures like Vinnie Stuart from Sun Moon Isle would likely give up.
And the Wynter family would do the same.
At this moment, Violet Willis and Michael, both stared intently at Lachlan Willis.
There was a mix of tension, concern, and anticipation in their eyes.
As a member of the Ancient Willis family, Michael would, of course, stand with his family to the end.
And Violet, raised within the family, had deep ties and emotions toward it as well.
“Hahaha…”
Just then, a mocking laugh echoed through the air.
Lachlan Willis stood there, his laughter loud and unrestrained.
“Lachlan Willis, do you think you’re about to die and have gone mad?
Pretending to be insane won’t save you!”
Harlow Lowe glared at Lachlan Willis, gritting his teeth.
The members of the Tian Shan Sect, Ancient Wagner Clan, and others all looked at him with murderous intent.
Even Adele Harper and the rest of Penglai Fairy Island furrowed their brows.
Lachlan Willis’ behavior did not seem like the reaction of someone seeking protection.
“Lachlan Willis, what are you laughing about?” Adele Harper raised an eyebrow and asked.
In the next moment, Lachlan Willis stopped laughing, though a mocking smile remained on his face.
His gaze swept across the room with sharp precision, looking at each and every person from the Ancient Forces.
Then, his voice, filled with overwhelming dominance and killing intent, rang out clearly, each word brimming with power.
“Adele Harper, why would I need your protection?”
“Who told you the Ancient Willis family is doomed?”
“Who told you that by joining forces, you can surely kill us?”
“Hahaha… ridiculous!”
“Truly ridiculous!”
Lachlan Willis laughed once more, his voice reverberating throughout the entire space.
Almost a hundred Fragmentation Void experts were present, including many at the later stages of Fragmentation Void.
Yet despite this, Lachlan Willis maintained his arrogance and dominance.
As his voice echoed, the expressions of all the gathered forces changed.
Shock, anger, confusion, admiration, and disdain… their gazes were all completely different.
Swish!
At that moment, several talismans shot out from Lachlan Willis’ body, flying toward the people standing behind him.
Violet Willis, Savannah Graham, Vinnie Stuart, Michael, Ancestors Garraway and Salazar, along with the five remaining Void Reclusion experts from the Ancient Willis family, and the Senior Fiery from Sun Moon Sect and Jerome Wynter from the ancient Wynter family, all received a talisman aimed directly at them.
At this moment, Lachlan Willis had reached the Manifested Form stage in the Spiritual Realm.
Controlling each talisman and directing them toward these people was a simple task for him.
“Those who believe in me, take the talismans!
From now on, do not resist in any way!”
Lachlan Willis’ calm, resolute, and commanding voice echoed in the minds of everyone who received a talisman.
