The slap made Lachlan Willis feel like his internal organs were about to shift out of place!
Immediately after, Master Inkwell issued an order, and four late-stage Great Vehicle experts surrounded him, drawing their weapons and placing them against Lachlan Willis’s neck.
At this moment, a fiery rage flickered in Lachlan Willis’s eyes as he stared at Master Inkwell and angrily shouted, “Master Inkwell, what do you mean by this? This is a personal matter between Isa Austin and me. What gives you the right to side with him? Before we entered the Outland Ruins, you forbade us from fighting, but now, why are you attacking me?”
Lachlan Willis knew that he had apparently offended Master Inkwell before. But he never expected the other party to be so unreasonable.
“Side with him? Hmph!”
Master Inkwell, the head of the Hall of Ten Thousand Matters, snorted coldly, staring at Lachlan Willis with an icy tone. “You think I’m dealing with you because of your fight with Isa Austin? You’re mistaken! I’m dealing with you because you colluded with the World Annihilation Demon, and according to the rules, I must capture you!”
Hearing this, Lachlan Willis’s expression changed instantly. “I colluded with the World Annihilation Demon? I don’t know what you’re talking about! When did I ever collude with the World Annihilation Demon?”
Master Inkwell coldly replied, “You’re still denying it! The Nine-Headed Phoenix Great Demon is one of the World Annihilation Demons, and now, she is one of the most powerful leaders in the World-Annihilation Faction. Do you dare to say you don’t know the Nine-Headed Phoenix?”
Upon hearing this, Lachlan Willis’s heart skipped a beat, but on the surface, he still pretended to be unaware. “What Nine-Headed Phoenix Great Demon? I don’t know her at all.”
“Don’t know her? Miranda Lowe, do you know her? Nine-Headed Phoenix is your former wife, Miranda Lowe. It was here last time, and she actually attacked me to cover for five other Reincarnated Demons entering the Outland Ruins.”
“Heh, now the Order Keepers Organization has investigated thoroughly. Miranda Lowe exhibited abnormal behavior for a while, and all the signs point to her being a Reincarnated Demon. And you, as one of the Seeds of the Star Path, knew about the suspicious traits of Reincarnated Demons, yet you never reported anything to the Order Keepers Organization.”
“There are many suspicious people in this world. Does that mean I should report everyone to the Order Keepers Organization? Are they all Reincarnated Demons? I didn’t even think in that direction.”
Lachlan Willis gritted his teeth and defended himself.
“Still trying to argue! If you didn’t realize it before, I could understand. But when Miranda Lowe separated from you on Phoenix Mountain last time, with her behaviors before leaving, you still didn’t notice she was a Reincarnated Demon? Lachlan Willis, you were clearly hiding her and giving her time to grow. Otherwise, the Order Keepers Organization could’ve eradicated her before she became strong! Preventing future chaos!”
Master Inkwell spoke with a sharp tone.
As the words sank in, Lachlan Willis’s expression changed once again. He realized that it was because of Miranda Lowe’s appearance and the battle with Master Inkwell before entering the Outland Ruins that the Order Keepers Organization discovered her to be a Reincarnated Demon. From there, they traced everything back to him.
The Order Keepers Organization was indeed powerful. They had figured out everything about him and Miranda Lowe.
In that moment, Lachlan Willis understood that no matter what he said now, it would be meaningless. Master Inkwell, the head of the Hall of Ten Thousand Matters, had never been friendly to him. He had seized this opportunity and would never let him go.
However, at this moment, Lachlan Willis was more concerned about something other than the punishment or consequences he might face.
“Where is Nine-Headed Phoenix?” Lachlan Willis asked in a deep voice.
What he wanted to know most was Miranda Lowe’s whereabouts.
“The Nine-Headed Phoenix’s methods are ruthless and unpredictable. Do you even realize how much destruction has been caused because of your concealment? You have no idea that the Nine-Headed Phoenix, this evil Great Demon, slaughtered an entire city of people in Skiola just to rapidly increase her power. She didn’t even spare their souls! Where she went, there was nothing but death and destruction! And you are directly responsible for this!” Master Inkwell gritted his teeth as he spoke.
Hearing this, Lachlan Willis raised an eyebrow and said, “Oh?”
He didn’t show much expression, but in his mind, he thought, Miranda Lowe slaughtered a city in Skiola?
Heh… Wife, you sure are ruthless!
But this just happened?
In other words, Miranda Lowe is still alive!
Lady Scarlett in the Hidden Cultivation Realm wasn’t really Miranda Lowe?
At that moment, Lachlan Willis felt a little relieved in his heart.
“Master Inkwell, I can testify that Lachlan Willis did indeed collude with the World Annihilation Demon! During the chaos in the Outland Ruins, Lachlan Willis teamed up with several Reincarnated Demons to try to kill us all! He is nothing but a villain!”
At that moment, Isa Austin, who was severely injured, stood up and glared at Lachlan Willis, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
There was still fear in his eyes. He was grateful that Master Inkwell arrived in time, or he suspected he would have really been killed by Lachlan Willis. This man was terrifyingly strong, with countless incredible methods.
Upon hearing Master Inkwell’s questions to Lachlan Willis, Isa Austin immediately stepped forward and deliberately spoke out.
It would be best if Master Inkwell directly killed Lachlan Willis.
Claudia Carter, who was also glaring at Lachlan Willis, chimed in, “That’s right, Master Inkwell, I can also prove it. Lachlan Willis joined forces with Nine-Headed Phoenix and three other Reincarnated Demons to oppose us and prevent us from obtaining the Stellar Path Mark! Not only did he help Nine-Headed Phoenix hide, but he also actively conspired with the Reincarnated Demons!”
After hearing this, Lachlan Willis gritted his teeth and looked at Claudia Carter, fury boiling in his eyes.
Isa Austin’s actions, he could understand.
But he had saved Claudia Carter’s life in the Hidden Cultivation Realm, and yet this woman was immediately repaying him with such treachery.
Heh, this woman, I should never have been kind to her!
As Isa Austin and Claudia Carter spoke, Master Inkwell’s expression turned suspicious. He looked at them, especially pausing on Claudia Carter for a few seconds.
“You are Claudia Carter? What’s going on between the two of you?”
