Before Maximus Willis was taken away, Michael searched his body, retrieving his spatial treasures and several important family heirlooms, including the mini black tombstone that opened the Dragon Tomb’s barrier, among other items.
The Ancient Willis family members were finally freed from the Dragon Tomb.
Those who survived, while alive, were filled with a deep sense of lingering fear and sorrow.
After this catastrophe, the Ancient Willis family had clearly been severely weakened.
Meanwhile, Lachlan Willis, in front of the entire Ancient Willis family, revived another deceased ancestor, Reginald Wills, whose body had remained intact.
After witnessing Lachlan Willis’s powers, the members of the Ancient Willis family looked at him with astonished and fearful eyes. But soon, it seemed as though they had seen a glimmer of hope.
If not for Lachlan Willis and his team, the Ancient Willis family would surely have been destroyed in this catastrophe.
At this moment, no one cared whether Cain Wills was still considered a traitor or if Lachlan Willis was a descendant of a traitor.
The hope of the Ancient Willis family now lay in Lachlan Willis, the *Successor*.
On that day, Maximus Willis died in a truly tragic manner!
Not only Violet Willis, but also other members of the Ancient Willis family who harbored hatred toward him, including Michael and the revived Reginald Wills, couldn’t help but take pieces of flesh from Maximus Willis’s body!
That very afternoon, a group of people who had been stripped of their powers were kneeling in a plaza designated for executions within the Ancient Willis family!
Among them was Archer Willis, the former head of the Ancient Willis family’s law enforcement, as well as several senior members of the family.
They had been major accomplices in the destruction of Hayden Willis’s branch!
“Make sure you tell them you’re sorry down there!”
Violet Willis, holding the Fire God Sword, personally carried out the execution.
The Hayden Willis branch, after the recent upheavals in the family, had been completely purged. Now, only Violet Willis remained.
*Thud!* *Thud!* *Thud…*
With the sound of a blade sinking into flesh, Violet Willis swung her sword. Each head that flew into the air carried with it a deep hatred buried in her heart.
Although the Ancient Willis family had been gravely weakened, with half of its members dead, the traitors who needed to be executed still had to be dealt with. Otherwise, they would remain a threat.
The people of Maximus Willis’s faction could not be spared.
This wasn’t just about revenge.
Meanwhile, the members of the Ancient Wynter family and Sun Moon Sect were well taken care of and temporarily stayed within the Ancient Willis family.
On another side, Cain Wills’s former residence was being cleaned by Michael’s orders.
Inside one of the rooms:
“Lachlan Willis, what do you want?”
“You’ve imprisoned my soul-what are you trying to do?”
A fearful voice filled the air. It was none other than Ernie Mccarthy, the leader of the Broken Pulse Sect, whose soul had been captured by Lachlan Willis.
“I told you, you’ll have to apologize to her with your own mouth!” Lachlan Willis’s expression remained cold as he spoke in an icy tone.
In the next moment, Lachlan Willis took out a Soul Capturing Talisman and released Samantha Duncan’s soul.
“Lachlan Willis!”
Samantha Duncan’s soul looked confused and surprised as she gazed at Lachlan Willis. She had no idea why he had freed her.
“Samantha, I’m sorry! There’s not much I could do for you, but today, I’ve finally avenged you! Take a look, do you know who this is?” Lachlan Willis said with a hint of guilt on his face as he pointed to Ernie Mccarthy’s soul.
“The Sect Leader?” Samantha Duncan’s soul trembled slightly, uncertainty in her eyes.
“Don’t be afraid of him! He’s already dead, and his soul is now in my hands,” Lachlan Willis reassured her.
“You can decide what to do with him. Do you want his soul to scatter into nothingness, or do you want to imprison and torment him for eternity? I can do either!”
Lachlan Willis smiled as he communicated with Samantha Duncan’s mind.
“No! Please, don’t!”
“I’m sorry! It was my fault, I’m sorry…”
“I’m already dead, I’ve already died…”
“Lachlan Willis, Samantha Duncan, please… have mercy on me, let me go.”
“Let me reincarnate and become a human again…”
At this moment, Ernie Mccarthy was no longer the high and mighty leader of the Broken Pulse Sect. His soul trembled, and he pleaded with Lachlan Willis and Samantha Duncan for mercy.
Samantha Duncan, upon seeing Ernie Mccarthy like this, felt a flicker of satisfaction in her eyes. But a moment later, she shook her head at Lachlan Willis.
“Lachlan Willis, let it go.
Making him suffer endlessly or causing his soul to scatter would be too cruel.
I don’t want to live in hatred, and I don’t want you to be burdened by it either.
As long as I can stay by your side and occasionally speak with you, that’s enough for me.
Since the Sect Leader is already dead and he’s apologized to me, my revenge is complete… just let him go.”
Samantha Duncan had always been kind-hearted. She had sacrificed herself without hesitation to help Lachlan Willis rescue Nora. When she died, she had seen that Nora had already been saved by Vinnie Stuart, and she had no further resentment.
Her soul wasn’t troubled by hatred even after death.
Hearing her words, Lachlan Willis shook his head. “Samantha, you’re too kind. Alright, since you say so, let’s let him go.”
Ernie Mccarthy looked at Samantha Duncan with a grateful expression, his soul bowing repeatedly in thanks.
The next moment, Lachlan Willis withdrew his power holding Ernie Mccarthy’s soul, and the soul instantly flew away.
Whether it would reincarnate or wander endlessly-Lachlan Willis didn’t care.
Meanwhile, in the main hall of the residence,
the aftermath of the battle and the arrangements for the future were being dealt with by other members of the Ancient Willis family.
Michael and Reginald Wills, the two ancestors, were in conversation with Cain Wills.
“Cain Wills, what level of strength do you have now? How did you become so powerful?”
Michael still vividly recalled the scene when Cain Wills effortlessly killed a group of Fragmentation Void experts with a single strike.
As a Fragmentation Void expert himself, Michael had been unable to gauge Cain Wills’s strength, and he couldn’t help but ask.
