Chapter 890: Eliminate Two, Isn’t That Enough?
Looking towards the sound, Lachlan noticed a line of eight people standing not far from them, coldly observing this side.
In fact, Lachlan had spotted them earlier, and now he cast a scrutinizing gaze in their direction.
At first glance, a hint of curiosity appeared on his face.
Indeed, if what Cecil said was true!
These eight individuals in the line shouldn’t be underestimated in terms of strength.
Two of them were in the later stage of Void Reclusion, while the remaining six were in the mid-stage of Void Reclusion, right?
Wasn’t the beautiful woman leading them Adele from Penglai Fairy Island?
At this moment, both Savannah and Violet, upon seeing the strength of the eight individuals on the other side, revealed a touch of seriousness on their faces.
However, after glancing at Lachlan beside them, their emotions settled slightly.
But Cecil’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
“Matt, stop spouting nonsense!”
“I admit I know Lachlan, but I haven’t betrayed anyone.”
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nervously defended himself.
“Not betrayed? You just revealed our strengths to them earlier. Isn’t that considered betrayal?”
“Cecil, I think you’re asking for trouble!”
Another disciple from Penglai Fairy Island pointed at Cecil and cursed.
At this moment, Gary’s gaze fell on Lachlan and the other two.
When he saw Savannah and Violet, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“Enough, there’s no need to say anything!”
“Even if they know our strength, so what?”
Gary waved his hand and said, pointing at Savannah and Violet, “You two girls, I’ll give you a chance. Join us now!”
“As for Cecil and this early-stage Void Reclusion guy, if they have any sense, they should hand over all their Boundary Talismans and leave the Mirror of Trials.”
“Otherwise, they’ll die!”
Gary’s words were domineering, as if he held the power of life and death over everyone.
Upon hearing this, Adele couldn’t help but furrow her brow and cast a faint glance at him.
Gary smiled and explained, “Adele, don’t misunderstand! Among these three, one is in the mid-stage of Void Reclusion, and the other two are in the early stage. If we want to recruit them, we should prioritize those with stronger abilities.”
Coincidentally, Cecil betrayed us, and it seems he’s quite familiar with that guy named Willis.
So, we kick those two out.
This way, we’ll have ten people! Just like you suggested before.”
As Gary’s words fell, Adele gave a faint smile, and a trace of indifference appeared on her face. “Cecil hasn’t done anything severe. It hasn’t been easy for him to come this far, so we shouldn’t just kick him out directly.
As for these three…”
At this point, her gaze fell on Lachlan, Savannah, and Violet, and she calmly spoke, “Among the three of you, who is the strongest? We can still accommodate one more person!”
Adele could see one thing clearly.
That is, someone who appears to have a higher cultivation level doesn’t necessarily have a stronger combat power.
It was evident that Lachlan, Savannah, and Violet were led by Lachlan.
This intrigued her.
A person in the early stage of Void Reclusion who could command someone in the mid-stage of Void Reclusion must have exceptional qualities.
As soon as the words fell, Gary frowned, feeling somewhat dissatisfied, but he didn’t argue with Adele’s suggestion.
“Adele, you’re right! Let’s give Cecil another chance!” he said, pointing at Lachlan and the others.
“Whoever among you three is the strongest will have a chance to join us. Perhaps, if you’re lucky, you can stick with us until the end and become one of the Seed of the Star Path.”
At that moment, Cecil also turned and urged Lachlan, saying, “Lachlan, why don’t you join us? With Miss Harper and Gary here, our team has a great chance of making it to the end. Then, you can also become one of the chosen ones.”
Lachlan remained expressionless, pointing at Savannah and Violet. He asked Adele, who was leading the opposing side, “If I join, what about these two?”
Adele responded naturally, “We only need one person! The other two will naturally have to give up all their Boundary Talismans and leave the Mirror of Trials!”
Gary let out a cold snort and arrogantly said, “Of course, if they don’t cooperate, killing the other two wouldn’t be bad either. So, what will be your choice?”
“Miss Graham, Miss Willis, what do you think?” Cecil shook his head, hinting and urging with some inquiry, looking at the two women.
It meant persuading them to voluntarily give up.
Upon hearing this, Savannah and Violet’s gazes simultaneously fell on Lachlan. Their beautiful eyes carried a hint of inquiry and nervousness as they looked at each other. It seemed they were expecting to see what choice Lachlan would make.
Waiting to see his reaction!
If Lachlan also had the same idea, they wouldn’t hesitate to immediately discard all their Boundary Talismans. However, they would definitely be immensely disappointed deep inside.
However, at this moment, Lachlan shook his head and chuckled lightly. “If you ask me, you can let us join! Just pick two people to eliminate, isn’t that enough?”
As his words fell, a touch of gratitude appeared on Savannah and Violet’s exquisite and charming faces. Indeed, he didn’t choose to give up on the two of them. Faced with such a formidable lineup, he proposed such a strong condition for their sake!
At this moment, a sense of relief appeared in the eyes of the two women. Regardless of the final outcome, they wouldn’t have any resentment towards Lachlan.
However, with Lachlan’s words, the expressions of the eight individuals, including Cecil, changed. “Lachlan, you…”
Cecil opened his mouth, feeling that Lachlan’s words were somewhat… going too far!
“Hmph!”
Adele coldly snorted, a hint of mockery and anger appearing on her otherworldly face. “What did you say? Asking us to give up two people?”
“Kid, what nonsense are you spouting? Are you out of your mind?”
“You’re asking for death!”
“Who do you three think you are? How dare you ask us to abandon two companions just for the sake of accepting you?”
“If that’s the case, since you don’t know any better, then die!”
