Chapter 911: Plotting Against the Soul?
Ernie and Sullivan nodded in agreement!
A century ago, during the Great War, the Broken Pulse Sect severely damaged the Sun Moon Sect but also suffered significant losses.
Now, engaging in a war with the Ancient Willis family, even if they could annihilate the Ancient Willis family and occupy the Dragon Tomb they guard, it would be a pyrrhic victory.
It would be better to wait a few more years until several more of the Ancient Willis family’s Powerful Fragmented Void members pass away. When their top-tier combat strength shows a gap, then it would be the right time to strike.
“Alright, let’s observe the situation for now!
Since the Jade Pendant inheritor is currently under the protection of the Orderwarden organization, we can leave him alone for now.
Unless we can think of a way to make him attack our Broken Pulse Sect first.
Even if he breaks through to Fragmentation Void, if we want to, our Broken Pulse Sect can still seize that Jade Pendant back.
The Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant should not belong to the Ancient Willis family or anyone else.
It originally belonged to our Broken Pulse Sect’s founder, Celestial Emperor Demon Youth!
It contains a great secret! One day, our Broken Pulse Sect will reclaim it!”
After saying this, the white-robed patriarch waved his sleeve and left.
Indeed!
The Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant was never originally the property of the Ancient Willis family; it belonged to the Broken Pulse Sect.
Sealed within it is the remnant soul of the Dudrar Dragon!
In ancient times, Celestial Emperor Demon Youth killed the Dudrar Dragon and sealed its soul within the pendant.
The Dudrar Dragon couldn’t have sealed its own soul after death, could it?
After the white-robed patriarch left, Ernie and Sullivan exchanged glances.
Sullivan’s eyes flickered a few times before he said in a deep voice, “Letting Lachlan go so easily is really frustrating!”
“Sullivan, you were once Lachlan’s master. Do you really need to go this far?” Ernie asked with a faint smile.
Sullivan shook his head. “I took him as my disciple only to control him! It’s like playing chess; if a piece dares to move out of your control, you would want to destroy it more than any bystander would, right?
Lachlan managed to escape from me by sheer luck. Every time I think about it, I feel uneasy.
If we wait until he reaches the Shattered Void Realm to act against him, it might be too late.”
A sense of crisis inexplicably surged in Sullivan’s heart.
He had been stuck at the Late-stage Hollow Void for decades.
However, it hadn’t been long since Lachlan escaped from the Broken Pulse Sect, and he could already defeat peers at the Late-stage Hollow Void.
Such rapid growth made Sullivan both amazed and fearful.
“Don’t overthink it. The patriarch said not to touch him for now!
Even if this kid reaches Fragmentation Void, our Broken Pulse Sect still has the power to kill him!” Ernie said confidently.
Ancient sects with thousands of years of heritage have incredibly deep foundations, far beyond what appears on the surface.
“The patriarch said that if we could provoke Lachlan into attacking our Broken Pulse Sect first, we could retaliate mercilessly.
I wonder if there’s a way to make that happen?” Sullivan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
As he finished speaking, an idea suddenly occurred to Ernie.
“Oh?”
“Provoking Lachlan into attacking us? There might actually be a way.
But let’s not rush!
The Ancient Willis family is definitely more anxious than we are.
Let’s have them test the waters first and see how the Orderwarden organization reacts.
If that doesn’t work, we’ll try this method.”
“What method?” Sullivan asked eagerly.
Ernie didn’t answer but instead gave a sinister smile.
That same day!
Outside, in the Nemesis Pavilion established by Kyrie.
Seeing Ernie arrive, Kyrie greeted him with a complex expression.
“Big brother, why are you here?” Kyrie asked with no expression on his face.
Since Lachlan escaped from the Broken Pulse Sect last time, this great shaman had also left and returned to his secluded Nemesis Pavilion.
“Let’s talk inside,” Ernie said calmly, waving his hand.
In a room where he isolated all external influences, Ernie looked at Kyrie with sharp eyes.
“Kyrie, do you have that female disciple’s soul?” Ernie asked bluntly.
Hearing this, Kyrie’s face immediately hardened before he pretended not to understand. “Big brother, what are you talking about?”
“Don’t play dumb! The female disciple I killed with one slap while she was helping Lachlan escape-her soul is with you!
Don’t think I don’t know!” Ernie said coldly, his face darkening.
Kyrie’s face showed a hint of vigilance and caution upon hearing this.
“Big brother, why are you asking about this?
The girl is already dead; what more do you want?
Do you want her soul to be completely destroyed?” Kyrie asked angrily.
Ernie snorted. “So it is still with you! Good… very good.
Give it to me!
Don’t worry; I’m not so bored as to target a weak female disciple.
Destroying her soul does me no good.”
As he spoke, Ernie extended his hand toward Kyrie.
Kyrie shook his head resolutely. “Then what do you want it for? Big brother, what are you planning?”
Suddenly thinking of something, Kyrie asked in a deep voice, “Are you planning to use it against Lachlan again?”
Ernie’s face darkened. “Kyrie, don’t confuse your priorities!
Yes!
I plan to use her against Lachlan at a critical moment. So what?
Are you siding with that kid?”
“Do you think there’s any affection left between you and Lachlan?
Lachlan’s daughter was brought back to the Broken Pulse Sect by you last time.
In his mind, you betrayed him.
Now, Lachlan probably hates you to the core, right?
This kid has incredible talent and will likely seek revenge on you sooner or later.
There’s no possibility of reconciliation! So give me that female disciple’s soul. I’ll help you eliminate this hidden threat early on. Isn’t that good?”
“Kyrie! I’m doing this for your own good!” Ernie said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Kyrie’s expression remained cold and determined.
“Big brother, forget it!NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Lachlan trusted me deeply; I’ve already let him down once.
Now that his friend is dead, I’m just helping preserve that girl’s soul.
Whether Lachlan hates me or not, I will find an opportunity to return that girl’s soul to him one day.
So stop plotting against her soul.
The girl is already dead. As the leader of the Broken Pulse Sect, isn’t it beneath you to use her soul for schemes?”
“Fool! A great man should achieve his goals by any means necessary!
Kyrie, hand it over!
Or don’t blame me for being rude!” Ernie shouted angrily as if he was about to lose his temper.
A terrifying pressure enveloped his younger brother as if he would resort to violence at any moment.
