Chapter 959: He Went Down Too
Everyone in the Mountain Moving Sect, including Gerard, was stunned by the reactions of Mr. Ballard and Master Homer.
After they appeared, instead of backing up Pangolin, they actually made him apologize to Lachlan?
“Kneel down now!” Mr. Ballard commanded Pangolin coldly, exuding a menacing aura.
Pangolin shivered and immediately knelt before Lachlan.
Lachlan stood there, accepting the apology. Given that this guy had been threatening to kill him, making him kneel and apologize was not too much to ask. Besides, Lachlan might end up saving his life today.
“Lachlan, I’m sorry! I didn’t recognize your greatness!”
“Please don’t hold it against me! I’m just a rough person!”
“Help me plead with the two elders…”
Pangolin knelt on the ground, apologizing and begging Lachlan.
Lachlan waved his hand and said to Mr. Ballard and Master Homer, “Let it go.”
“Hmph! You’re lucky Lachlan is magnanimous; otherwise, you’d be in big trouble today!” Mr. Ballard snorted coldly.
At this moment, Lachlan changed his tone and asked, “Mr. Ballard, Master Homer, are your Mountain Moving Sect people planning to enter the tomb today?”
Mr. Ballard nodded, “Yes! We didn’t bring so many people here just for fun. This ancient tomb might be the true resting place of Spike Keller! Our Mountain Moving Sect wants to explore it.”
“Lachlan, why do you ask?” Master Homer looked puzzled.
Lachlan advised seriously, “I suggest you wait and observe for now. There’s great danger below!”
“Oh?” Mr. Ballard and Master Homer exchanged a glance, their faces showing uncertainty.
The next second, they asked in unison, “Lachlan, are you sure?”
“I’m sure! I can see that the malevolent energy inside is very strong. If anyone goes in, there’s a high chance they won’t come out alive!” Lachlan nodded.
Hearing this, Master Homer and Mr. Ballard’s faces showed a mix of doubt and concern.
After pondering for a while, Mr. Ballard nodded at Lachlan, “Alright, we’ll listen to you!”
He then sent word to the elders and ordered everyone in the Mountain Moving Sect to stay in the camp. Those already inside were called back up. No one was allowed to enter the tomb without permission!
Last time at the Iyloniothe Ward Family, before exploring Master Robinson’s tomb, Lachlan had predicted it wasn’t a treasure trove but a disaster. No one listened back then. What happened? The Iyloniothe Ward Family was almost wiped out by the Corpse King! Only Mr. Ballard and Master Homer survived from their sect because Lachlan intervened in time.
So this time, hearing Lachlan’s advice, Mr. Ballard and Master Homer decided to trust him without much hesitation. Waiting and observing couldn’t hurt!
Gerard was also surprised that the two elders of the Mountain Moving Sect would listen to Lachlan. His mind quickly changed as well.
At this moment, Lachlan used his Dragon Gaze Heavenward Technique to perform “Energy Observation,” his face turning serious. He saw that after Gerard and the Mountain Moving Sect disciples received the order not to enter the tomb, the malevolent energy above their heads disappeared.
This further confirmed to Lachlan that there was great danger below!
…
At noon that day, when the yang energy was at its peak, many large tomb-raiding factions and forces began preparing to enter the tomb.
Before this, Lachlan had tried to persuade them not to go down. But who would listen to him? Some even almost clashed with Lachlan, accusing him of sowing discord.
As he watched other groups enter the underground tomb, members of the Mountain Moving Sect gathered around to observe, some looking unwilling.
“Mr. Ballard, does your Mountain Moving Sect really believe this kid’s nonsense?”
“Hahaha…”
“Just wait until we get the Fortune-Altering Divine Object; your sect will see!”
“Great danger? That’s hilarious! With so many experts here, what danger could there be?”
“Well, it’s good your sect isn’t participating; fewer people to compete with!”
Members of the Dragon-Seeking Sect, Mountain Unloading Sect, and Golden Point Sect mocked the Mountain Moving Sect openly.
They looked at Lachlan with disdain.
Mr. Ballard and Master Homer remained stoic but were also anxious as they watched other factions enter the tomb. However, they decided to heed Lachlan’s warning and wait.
Finally, a group of unaffiliated grave robbers jumped into the underground passage.
Seeing this group, Lachlan’s eyes narrowed. His cultivation had reached Mid-stage Hollow Void; even if these people hid their strength, they couldn’t escape his notice. Among them were two Nascent Soul experts-a middle-aged couple.
The man looked ordinary but had an imposing presence. The woman appeared in her thirties with a graceful demeanor and beautiful features.
Lachlan’s eyes lingered on the woman for a few seconds before a look of suspicion and surprise flashed in his eyes.
The next second, he said to Mr. Ballard and Master Homer, “I’ll go down first to investigate; you wait here.”
With that, he leaped into the tomb entrance.
Seeing this, there were boos from around them!
Mr. Ballard and Master Homer exchanged a strange look.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
