Chapter 585 Is It Really Her?
Chapter 585 Is it really her?
After putting away the Crimson Soul Crystal, Lachlan continued to examine the bloodthirsty vampire tree. Although this evil thing was already dead, Lachlan could still feel another life force from within it. "Does this ghostly thing still have offspring? Is there a little demon tree in its belly?" Lachlan muttered to himself.
The next second, he swung his Glacial River Dragon Sparrow Blade towards the trunk of the bloodthirsty vampire tree. Accompanied by a piercing sound like leather being cut by a blade, Lachlan split open the outer layer of the trunk.
When he saw what was inside the trunk, his face suddenly changed and was filled with shock!
"Harlow?" he exclaimed, unable to believe his eyes as he looked at the woman wrapped in the trunk.
To his astonishment, it was none other than Harlow, Miranda's cousin.
At that moment, Harlow had her eyes closed!
Compared to her previous self, her face seemed to have become even more beautiful.
There was an indescribable allure and strangeness about her.
However, Lachlan was certain that this was unmistakably Harlow.
Ever since Eliza was imprisoned and Romeo died, Harlow had disappeared without a trace.
He never expected to see her again in the Ghost Plaque Sect's cave.
What shocked him even more was that she appeared inside an evil plant.
"Mmm..."
At this moment, it seemed that the trunk was disturbed, and Harlow hummed a few times before awakening faintly.
After a few seconds, she opened her eyes.
A fleeting sinister aura flashed in her eyes, revealing only a hint of confusion.
"Lachlan?"
Upon seeing Lachlan standing in the blood pool before her, Harlow exclaimed in surprise.
The word seemed to slip out subconsciously.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
But in the next second, Harlow's gaze at Lachlan became filled with sorrow and resentment.
"Lachlan, is it you?"
She asked through gritted teeth.
Then, with a tinge of panic and fear on her face, she looked around at her surroundings and interrogated Lachlan, "Where is this?" "Lachlan, what do you want?"
"Did you have me captured here?"
"What kind of place is this? What... What do you want from me?"
"My father was killed by you, my family is destroyed, and you still want to do something to me?"
Harlow asked in an agitated tone, tears of blood streaming from her eyes.
Lachlan furrowed his brow at her words. "I didn't want anything, and I didn't have you captured here. You've got it wrong!"
"I don't have so much free time to deal with you!"
Judging from Harlow's words, it seemed that she had been captured by the people of the Ghost Plaque Sect as well?
And for some reason, she ended up inside this ghostly tree!
"Not you? Then how did I end up here? Where is this place?" Harlow glared at Lachlan, her face filled with caution and suspicion.
"This is a demonic cultivation sect called the Ghost Plaque Sect! I came here to eradicate the Ghost Plaque Sect and happened to find you inside this ghostly tree. As for why you're here, I have no idea!" Lachlan said coldly.
Seeing Harlow again, he didn't feel any guilt.
Romeo's death was his own fault!
"Ghost Plaque Sect? I was captured by people from the Ghost Plaquez Sect?" Harlow's expression changed a few times as she asked, and then a mocking smile appeared on her unusually beautiful face.
"Oh, so that means I should thank you for saving me?"
Lachlan shook his head expressionlessly. "No need, I didn't intend to save you!"
"Is that so? Then do you want to kill me?"
Harlow seemed to exert great effort as she struggled out of the vampire tree.
She walked up to Lachlan, raised her chin, and her enchanting face flickered with hatred and mockery.
"I'm not interested in killing you. Just leave this place!"
Lachlan furrowed his brow and pushed Harlow aside without wasting words.
At this moment, Lachlan only thought of Harlow as one of the "victims" and didn't think much of her.
His thoughts were still focused on the "corpse" inside the ghostly tree.
When Harlow emerged from the trunk, Lachlan distinctly felt an incredibly strong vitality.
In the next second, he discovered another fist-sized green object dug out from the trunk of the vampire tree.
This thing, held in his hand, had a faint warmth and a texture resembling gel.
What astonished Lachlan the most was that this green gel-like substance was pulsating rhythmically.
It was as if... a heart.
And the abundant vitality came from it.
"If the crimson crystal from earlier was the Soul Crystal of this ghost tree, then could this green thing be its heart?" Lachlan wondered aloud. "What a strong life aura! Let's call it the Heart of the Ghost Tree for now," he decided.
"This is definitely a good thing."
After sensing it for a while, Lachlan proceeded to put it away.
Unbeknownst to him, when he discovered the Heart of the Ghost Tree, a flicker of anger and resentment flashed in Harlow's eyes.
It was as if someone had stolen something precious that rightfully belonged to her!
Next, Lachlan began searching within the Ghost Plaque Sect, dealing with some insignificant and resistant disciples of the sect.
During this process, including Harlow and Stephanie, the women followed closely behind him.
In the end, Lachlan found a
considerable amount of cultivation resources and rescued several
people who had been captured by the Ghost Plaque Sect.
Among them was the middle-aged bodyguard.
In addition, he discovered a large number of so-called "divine cards," which were the Yin cards containing imprisoned "little ghosts."
These Yin cards could bring wealth and fortune to their owners but were also harmful.
Many people who obtained these Yin cards experienced smooth sailing for the first couple of years, becoming extremely successful.
However, in the end, they couldn't escape the backlash from the little ghosts.
Most importantly, the production process of these Yin cards by the Ghost Plaque Sect was filled with evil deeds.
They didn't use deceased children but directly captured living children and subjected them to mutilation through organizations like the Britt family, a criminal syndicate
At this moment, before Lachlan's eyes, there was a mountain-like pile of Yin cards.
Each piece represented a young life that had been cruelly harmed.
To be honest, Lachlan felt a bit reluctant to devour these "little ghosts," but they had lost their self-awareness, leaving only thick resentment.
They could no longer be reincarnated.
"Kid, don't be too kind-hearted!"
"Let them vanish into nothingness; it's also a form of release!"
"After absorbing these souls, I should be able to help you fight against the evil spirit controlling your wife!"
At this moment, the voice of the Dragon Ancestor's Soul resounded in Lachlan's mind.
