At this point, a hint of coldness and killing intent flashed in his eyes.
The world’s fate lies in Priocia, and the fate of Priocia lies within the Kunlun Mountain Range!
This foreign relic is located right within the Kunlun Mountain Range.
Thousands of years ago, the Eminent Beyond who brought their people to Earth chose to create a small world here. What was their intention?
Now, this foreign relic world has been discovered by the Order Keepers Organization. If it weren’t for the fear that destroying the relic might also destroy the “Stellar Path Mark,” the Order Keepers would have long since sought to destroy it outright.
Moreover, they intend to exterminate the Exiled Clan to prevent any future threats!
“I hope you can bring out that Stellar Path Mark!” Master Inkwell said, his tone cold and heavy.
“Don’t worry, senior, we will do everything we can!” Isa Austin swore confidently, though his sharp voice was somewhat unpleasant to hear.
“Hmm. Wait here until the midnight hour. I warn you, before entering the foreign relic, the five of you must not fight amongst yourselves. If you encounter each other inside, you can fight as you please, but do not cause trouble here!” Master Inkwell nodded, his gaze stern, issuing a fierce warning.
“Understood!” The five responded in unison, showing no outward change.
With that, Lachlan Willis turned and walked off, sitting by himself to continue his practice of the Sun-Moon Dual Cultivation Technique.
Isa Austin and the other three exchanged glances before finding spots to meditate and wait.
At that moment, Claudia Carter glanced toward Lachlan Willis and, about 40 or 50 meters away from him, sat down on a stone.
“Lachlan Willis, didn’t expect your strength to progress so quickly! Within seven days, you broke through to Fragmentation Void? Heh, are you feeling a sense of crisis?” As a Seed of Reincarnation, Claudia Carter’s soul had also reached the Manifested Form realm.
She sent a telepathic message to Lachlan Willis, her tone filled with mockery.
Lachlan Willis sat still, unperturbed, merely casting a faint glance in her direction. He wasn’t interested in engaging with Claudia Carter’s telepathic communication!
Firstly, he had no interest. Secondly, he didn’t want to expose his soul cultivation level.
“You don’t need to come over and talk to me, just listen to what I have to say! Isa Austin gathered the four of us Seeds of Reincarnation before, and we made a plan. You must have seen the detailed mission information by now. After we enter the foreign relic, we will appear randomly at any location. But we’ve already agreed to meet near the ‘Purple Fire’ tribe, which is close to the Exiled Clan’s royal city. We’ll attack the royal city together!
First, we’ll team up to eliminate the three Great Vehicle experts stationed there, and then search for the Stellar Path Mark. Once we succeed, we’ll share the cultivation time in the Sun-Moon Divine Pool.
I agreed on the surface, but I don’t want Isa Austin to succeed; I want him dead! Lachlan Willis, can you help me? If so, just nod.”
By the end of her telepathic message, Claudia’s voice carried a strong sense of hatred and killing intent, yet when she asked if he would help, it sounded almost pleading, as if a fragile vulnerability was exposed.
Lachlan Willis’s expression flickered momentarily. He remained seated, calm and composed, neither nodding nor shaking his head. Internally, he thought, *What’s this woman up to now?*
Just earlier, wasn’t she threatening to decide my fate, swearing to torture me and even tear my soul apart? Now, she wants me to help her against Isa Austin?
Heh…*
In response, Lachlan decided to ignore her, not wanting to engage with Claudia Carter. He had no trust in her whatsoever.
“Are you unwilling? Is it because of the words I said to you when I last saw you? Lachlan Willis, don’t you know… I’ve never been able to forget you. Six years of relationship… The reason I said those things to you was out of love turned to hatred. In my heart, you’ve always been mine, and that hasn’t changed.
I admit that I lost myself because of you, and I did things I regret. But now, seeing you so strong and exceptional, I regret it all.
Every time I meet you, I show resentment because I know we can never be again. I’ve completely lost you. Even if I grow stronger, I know you won’t accept me anymore.
That’s why I treated you like that.
But this time, when I found out you would also enter this foreign relic, possibly facing Isa Austin and two other Great Vehicle experts, and might even die… I realized… I actually care about you. I really… don’t want anything to happen to you, do you understand?”
Claudia Carter’s telepathic voice carried layers of complexity: sorrow, regret, longing, and enchantment. In fact, she had even used techniques from the *Nine-Tailed Cataclysm Technique* to subtly manipulate him.
If it were an ordinary man, or even many powerful cultivators with weaker resolve, they would likely have been shaken by Claudia Carter’s words.
At this moment, Lachlan Willis’s gaze flickered again, seemingly moved by her words.
“Lachlan Willis, I don’t expect you to take me back, but I also don’t want you to really get hurt. You should know that when Isa Austin gathered us, he instructed us to join forces to eliminate you. Shadow Tiger and Daemon Lion have agreed.
They are Great Vehicle experts, and as Seeds of Reincarnation, they possess various special powers. You alone cannot match them.
If we team up, I can help you from the inside and kill them. How about it?”
Claudia Carter asked, her tone now sounding almost sincere.
