Next, under the watchful eyes of Violet Willis, Savannah Graham, and the others, the various Ancient Forces began to offer their compensation to the Ancient Willis family.
With Cain Wills present, and Lachlan Willis having released them, there was no longer any fear that the powerful experts from these factions would take action against them.
When it was the Hall of the Three Realms’ turn…
The leader of the Hall of the Three Realms, Damien Nightshade, had already perished, and Harlow Lowe presented a space artifact, one that had had its owner’s mark erased, respectfully offering it to Cain Wills.
Inside the artifact were the compensation the Hall of the Three Realms had prepared for the Ancient Willis family.
“Predecessor, our Hall of the Three Realms offers the Ancient Soul Banner, an ancient immortal-grade artifact, two Soul Burst Fruits, a Supreme Yuan Pill that can help break through to the Great Vehicle realm, and…” Harlow Lowe listed the items offered as compensation.
“Mm, I’ll admit the Hall of the Three Realms has some sincerity,” Cain Wills nodded in acknowledgment.
But just as he was about to let them go, Lachlan Willis suddenly stared at Harlow Lowe and coldly shouted, “Wait!”
Harlow Lowe was immediately startled, her eyes wide with fear and caution as she turned to face Lachlan Willis.
“Lachlan Willis, what do you want?”
Harlow Lowe was angry, but when she remembered that she had stabbed him in the heart earlier, her anxiety intensified.
Lachlan Willis must have a killing intent towards her now, right?
“You almost killed me, and you’re just going to walk away like this?” Lachlan Willis sneered, his eyes flashing with a dangerous gleam.
Upon hearing this, Cain Wills’ expression darkened, his gaze sharpening as he fixed it on Harlow Lowe.
When he heard that this woman had nearly killed Lachlan Willis, Cain Wills released a murderous aura once more.
Harlow Lowe’s face turned pale, and she glared at Lachlan Willis with a mix of mockery and disdain, saying, “Lachlan Willis, many powerful people here wanted to kill you before. I just happened to be lucky enough to almost do it. But this senior here has said that as long as we offer sincere compensation, we’ll be spared.
Lachlan Willis, do you want to ruin this old senior’s credibility?”
“Or are you just relying on this old senior’s strength, using him as a tool to kill people?”
Upon hearing this, Lachlan Willis snorted coldly, his tone dismissive. “If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn’t need to rely on anyone else!
Don’t worry, I didn’t plan to have my grandpa kill you! If I wanted to kill you, I would do it myself. I only called you over to tell you that if I ever encounter you again, I won’t care that you’re Miranda Lowe’s cousin. I will kill you without hesitation!”
Lachlan Willis had his own pride, and he naturally didn’t want Cain Wills to do his bidding or take revenge for him by killing Harlow Lowe. However, he was heavily injured and had used nearly all of his trump cards in the previous battle. He knew he didn’t have much chance of defeating Harlow Lowe in his current condition, so he chose to spare her-for now.
Harlow Lowe, nodding, said, “Fine! I’ll be waiting for you! Now, can the Hall of the Three Realms leave?”
“Scram!” Lachlan Willis snapped coldly.
Afterward, the other factions took turns presenting their compensation and left immediately.
For the factions whose fallen experts had relatively intact corpses, they took the bodies with them. Those whose experts’ bodies were too mutilated didn’t care much about them anymore.
They didn’t dare to search for any lost weapons or space artifacts left by the dead, fearing it would provoke Cain Wills’ displeasure.
When it was Penglai Fairy Island’s turn, Lachlan Willis hesitated for a moment but decided not to accept their compensation.
When Penglai Fairy Island arrived, they had initially refrained from attacking, respecting Adele Harper’s request. Later, they had tried to launch an aerial assault but had withdrawn halfway through.
After that, they didn’t take further action against him.
Whether they were planning to strike at the end or simply wanted to take advantage, Lachlan Willis didn’t concern himself with their intentions-he only cared about their actions.
Although it was likely that Penglai Fairy Island had planned to strike at the last moment, they hadn’t been able to act in time.
Lachlan Willis knew that it wouldn’t be wise to keep making enemies, and so he didn’t mind showing Penglai Fairy Island and Adele Harper some courtesy. If he could make a good relationship with Penglai Fairy Island, it would be even better.
“Then thank you, Lachlan Willis! Penglai Fairy Island will remember this favor.
If you or the Ancient Willis family, or even the Sun Moon Sect, ever need anything within our power, we will certainly not refuse.”
“Oh, and Lachlan Willis, if you are interested, you should spend more time with Adele. You both are Seeds of the Star Path, and your exchange can help improve your abilities,” said Evelyn, the island master of Penglai Fairy Island, with a smile.
Upon hearing that Lachlan Willis had refused their compensation, Evelyn understood and realized that they were deliberately trying to form a good relationship with him.
The Ancient Willis family now had someone as formidable as Cain Wills, and Lachlan Willis himself had immense potential and strength. If they could get along, it would be a benefit to Penglai Fairy Island, and they naturally didn’t want to make an enemy out of him.
At the mention of spending more time with Adele, Lachlan Willis caught the subtle shift in Adele Harper’s expression. Her eyes gleamed with interest as she looked at him, a hint of crimson on her cheeks.
She had once thought that Lachlan Willis would surely die today. But unexpectedly, the situation had taken such an unpredictable turn!
Lachlan Willis had revealed his powerful trump cards, cutting through the crowd of over a hundred Fragmentation Void experts with ease.
That kind of dominance had deeply impressed Adele Harper. She found herself drawn to him, and his image as he soared through the air had left a lasting mark in her mind-a memory that would likely never fade.
Such a powerful and extraordinary man, she couldn’t help but wonder if there was a possibility for them to join forces.
So, when the island master made the suggestion, she didn’t resist or deny it. Instead, her eyes stayed locked on Lachlan Willis.
Meanwhile, Savannah Graham, standing to the side, secretly sneered, a look of disdain flickering across her beautiful face.
