Chapter 960: Nine-Cat Life-Prolonging Formation (Part 1)
The other three major tomb-raiding factions and several tomb-raiding forces outside saw Lachlan jump in as well, and immediately a chorus of boos erupted.
“Ha! That guy kept saying there was great danger below, but he went down himself?”
“Hahaha, the fools of the Mountain Moving Sect actually believed him. It’s hilarious!”
“He talks about great danger, yet he goes down himself! What, is he not afraid of the danger?”
For a moment, mocking and ridiculing voices rose one after another.
Even many disciples of the Mountain Moving Sect showed indignation when they saw Lachlan go down.
They felt their elder had been deceived!
“Mr. Ballard, Lachlan jumped down himself! This guy is clearly just fearmongering!”
Pangolin said indignantly at this moment.
“Exactly, Elder, why should we listen to him?”
“We should go down too! Otherwise, we won’t get a share of the Fortune-Altering Divine Object.”NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“Not just the Fortune-Altering Divine Object! With so many people going down, won’t all the good stuff in the tomb be looted clean?”
“Yes! If we don’t go down, our Mountain Moving Sect will get nothing!”
“He’s just trying to trick us into staying up here so he has one less competitor.”
The disciples voiced their opinions one after another.
Gerard shook his head, feeling uncertain as well.
At this moment, Master Homer raised her voice and shouted, “Everyone, quiet!”
She then looked at Mr. Ballard and asked, “Mr. Ballard, what do you think…”
Mr. Ballard snorted coldly at this moment, “No need to say more! Let’s follow Lachlan’s advice and watch how things unfold.
If Lachlan truly covets that Fortune-Altering Divine Object, with his skills, who could possibly take it from him?
There’s no need for him to go to such lengths to persuade everyone.”
“Moreover, Lachlan’s initial behavior clearly showed he didn’t intend to go down.
It was only just now that he suddenly changed his mind for some unknown reason.”
Mr. Ballard’s eyes gleamed with wisdom as he shook his head and spoke in a deep voice.
As the saying goes, old ghosts are cunning. Mr. Ballard trusted his own intuition and did not completely doubt Lachlan because of this move.
Nor would he be swayed by others’ instigations.
“Alright! Then we… will watch how things unfold!”
Master Homer nodded and said no more.
…
Not far from the valley, atop a mountain peak, a figure stood there, seemingly blending with the surrounding vegetation.
The person wore a gray robe, and their face was as wrinkled as old tree bark.
The entire person exuded an eerie and decrepit aura.
“Go in! All of you, go in!”
“Go in and become the nourishment for my Master Chandler’s extended life!”
His eyes glowed with greedy desire as he watched everything happening in the valley from afar.
At this moment, another figure gradually appeared beside Master Chandler.
The newcomer wore a tight-fitting red outfit that perfectly outlined her alluring figure.
Her lips were as red as blood, her appearance seductive, but the light in her eyes seemed even more sinister than that of Master Chandler beside her.
If Lachlan were here, he would recognize this woman as Miranda’s cousin, Harlow!
“Greetings, Lady Soul Void Enchantress!”
Seeing Harlow, Master Chandler, whose strength had already reached the Early-stage Hollow Void, immediately straightened his face and bowed deeply.
Master Chandler was an elder of Yin Moon Tower, an ancient evil faction affiliated with Hall of the Three Realms.
However, Yin Moon Tower was much stronger than another affiliated evil faction of Hall of the Three Realms, Ghost Plaque Sect.
It belonged to a hidden world of top-tier evil factions.
And Harlow was born with a Supreme Yin Body and was a natural talent for practicing Hall of the Three Realms’ supreme martial technique “Soul Void Method.”
Now she had become the Soul Void Enchantress of Hall of the Three Realms, her strength having reached the peak of Late-stage Hollow Void.
Moreover, she had been selected by the Orderwarden organization as one of the top ten Seeds of the Star Path!
Even within Hall of the Three Realms, her status was no less than that of the elders and she was even being groomed as the next hall master.
In front of Harlow, Master Chandler was nothing but a servant.
“Hmm! Have you set up the Nine-Cat Life-Prolonging Formation?”
Harlow asked indifferently.
“It’s set up!”
Master Chandler knelt on the ground and responded respectfully.
“Good! When the time comes, their vitality will be yours. As for their souls…”
At this point, Harlow licked her lips, her eyes flashing with cruelty and greed.
“They are mine!”
She clenched her right hand in a sinister smile.
“Of course!”
Master Chandler fawned repeatedly.
“Good! Go now! Don’t mess this up!”
Harlow nodded.
She looked toward the valley where the ancient tomb was located with greedy eyes that also held a trace of worry.
For some reason, she felt something might go wrong this time.
“Am I overthinking?
Even if I don’t act, Master Chandler’s strength has reached Early-stage Hollow Void and he has various evil techniques. How could these lowly tomb-raiding factions and forces possibly thwart my plans?
With so many souls transformed into soul energy, I should be able to practice Soul Void Method to its highest level after absorbing it?
Plus, with the resources given to me by the Orderwarden organization, breaking through to Shattered Void Realm should be no problem!”
Harlow mused to herself with fervent eyes.
A wisp of black energy seemed to always linger around her body surface.
That was “Qi,” representing sin and karmic obstacles!
However, Hall of the Three Realms’ martial techniques were extremely evil; Soul Void Method could even transform this sin and karmic obstacle-generated “Qi” into usable eerie energy.
