Chapter 872: Not Just a Thought
Within the Mirror of Trials, the person who Lachlan felt a karmic connection with was none other than a disciple of the Sun Moon Sect.
Who else could share such a bond here?
Savannah and Violet, the two young girls, were by his side.
Cecil? Highly unlikely!
The highest possibility was the three members of the Sun Moon Sect whom he had been thinking about but hadn’t encountered yet.
Lachlan wondered to himself, “I wonder which one of the three it is?”
As the current Young Master of the Sun Moon Sect, Lachlan still cared deeply about the three disciples who accompanied him.
Therefore, when he sensed a hint of karmic connection, he shifted his focus. Violet noticed his change and furrowed her brow but didn’t say anything.
Savannah, ever loyal to Lachlan, followed his lead without any objections. “Hmm?”
However, the next moment, Violet suddenly let out a soft gasp.
She realized that the direction Lachlan was heading seemed to be similar to where Ulric was.
Inside a rocky mountain! Two figures were currently facing each other, remaining cautious and refraining from direct conflict.
Surviving in the Mirror of Trials was no easy feat.
One person was dressed in white, surrounded by a chilling aura and emitting faint white light.
The other person was shrouded in darkness, enveloped by the Power of Death.
“Sir, may I ask which family or sect you belong to?”
Eric arched his hand and asked solemnly, appearing more cautious and humble compared to when he encountered the three disciples of the Sun Moon Sect before.
Ulric calmly replied, “I am Ulric of the Broken Pulse Sect.”
“So, you’re Ulric of the Broken Pulse Sect! I am Eric of the Graves Family. The Broken Pulse Sect and the Graves Family have always kept to themselves. Both of us are in the early stage of Void Reclusion. If we were to fight, I’m afraid we would both end up losing. It’s uncertain who would live or die. Shall we part ways here?”
Eric smiled faintly.
With the frosty light emanating from him, he could see the black aura enveloping Ulric, indicating that he possessed a powerful and unique force of Dao.
This made Eric, who possessed the Way of Ice, hesitant to engage in battle with him.
Ulric’s eyes flickered for a moment upon hearing Eric’s words, then he nodded slowly and said, “Very well.”
It had been almost a month within the Mirror of Trials.
The surviving participants no longer rushed into battle upon meeting each other but adopted a relatively “bully the weak, fear the strong” strategy.
At this stage, those who could break through to the Void Reclusion Realm were all formidable individuals.
There was a 60% chance of avoiding a fight when encountering each other.
Everyone sought out weaker Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to seize their Boundary Talismans, rather than blindly engaging with participants at the same level and eliminating others.
This way, they could maximize their chances of survival and continue on the path.
After all, the Star Path Seed Selection Tournament had a deadline of three months.
If the number of participants within the Mirror of Trials still exceeded ten after that time, the ranking would be determined by the number of Boundary Talismans held.
Even if they insisted on fighting until only ten remained, they could eliminate each other later.
“Farewell!” Eric glanced deeply at Ulric, arched his hand, and was about to leave.
Tap, tap, tap…
However, at that moment, the sound of footsteps echoed through the air.
“Hmm? Who’s there?” Eric shouted coldly.
Ulric also noticed and took out a lighter from his pocket, igniting it and throwing it in the direction of the footsteps.
Suddenly, the darkness was illuminated, revealing three figures.
It was a man and two women. If they weren’t Lachlan, Violet, and Savannah, then who could they be?
Upon seeing Ulric, Violet narrowed her beautiful eyes, emanating a murderous intent.
Lachlan’s gaze, on the other hand, locked directly onto Eric.
Because he could sense that the root of the cause and effect was none other than this young man in white.
At this moment, the expressions on Eric and Ulric’s faces were different.
A hint of disdain appeared on Eric’s face.
Although Violet was also in the early stage of Void Reclusion, her aura was weakened, bloodstains visible at the corners of her mouth, indicating injuries.
As for the other man and woman, one was in the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, and the other was at the peak of Nascent Soul later stage.
In Eric’s eyes, such strength was nothing worth mentioning, easily annihilated.
In other words, this trio was nothing more than wounded and disabled.
Ulric’s gaze lingered on Violet and Lachlan.
“Violet? Hehe, so we meet again after I let you escape with your life last time?”
“It seems like fate wants to end you!”
“What surprises me even more is that you have this kid by your side!”
“Lachlan, I’ve been searching for you so hard!”
Ulric, carrying the burden entrusted to him by the Broken Pulse Sect’s leader, Ernie, wanted to capture Lachlan and bring him back to the sect.
With the world plunged into darkness, Ulric originally thought the chances of finding Lachlan were extremely slim.
Unexpectedly, he stumbled upon him!
Truly, fortune favors me.
However, as the words fell, Lachlan sneered, “Another one who sees me and thinks it’s a surprise?
The seven wastes from the Ancient Willis family thought the same.
And then, they all died!”
With a cold snort, he squinted his starry eyes and asked, “You must be Ulric from the Broken Pulse Sect, right? So, you also want to capture me?”
Ulric smirked, “Not just thinking about it!”
At this moment, upon witnessing this scene, Eric’s eyes flickered, and he took a few steps back.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
He smiled at Ulric and said, “Ulric, so these three are your defeated subordinates and enemies you’ve been desperately searching for?
Well then, I won’t compete with you.
I’ll leave them to you to kill, and their Boundary Talismans will be yours.
I’ll take my leave now!”
Saying that, Eric made a gesture as if he was about to leave.
However, deep in his eyes, a trace of cunning and deceit flashed.
In the darkness, as long as he moved back a certain distance, who would know if he truly left or just pretended to?
Eric could act according to the situation!
If Ulric easily took care of Lachlan and the others, he would silently slip away.
If both sides ended up heavily injured in the fight, he wouldn’t mind taking advantage of the situation, even not sparing Ulric.
However, at that moment, a cold voice rang out.
Eric felt a surge of qi that firmly locked onto him.
He saw the tall young man called Lachlan by Ulric, staring fiercely at him!
