Chapter 899: Winner Takes It All
Facing pressure from the Kunlun Divine Mountains, Lachlan furrowed his brow and asked, “What if I refuse to comply?”
He glanced at Elder Skywalker and spoke in a deep voice, “Senior, if I recall correctly, you mentioned before the start of the Star Path Seed Selection Tournament that all opportunities obtained within the Mirror of Trials belong to the participants, right? What about this treasure?”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
At this moment, Lachlan could still hold his ground, relying on the Orderwarden Organization.
As one of the Seeds of the Star Path, he believed that the organization, which had gone through so much trouble to select the top ten geniuses, would not allow any mishap to befall him.
That’s why he dared to argue with the Kunlun Divine Mountains.
Of course, if Elder Skywalker didn’t intervene, Lachlan would consider softening his stance. Surrendering the treasure was not out of the question. However, as long as there was a chance to fight for it, he wouldn’t let go of this opportunity.
“Not comply? Are you seeking death!” Master Ho’s anger flared up.
At that moment, Elder Skywalker raised his hand, furrowed his brows, and looked at Master Ho and the disciples of the Kunlun Divine Mountains.
“Master Ho and fellow disciples of the Kunlun Divine Mountains, please calm down,” he said in a solemn tone.
“Master Ho, may I ask if your sect has accepted the compensation provided by the Orderwarden Organization for the damages caused during the Mirror of Trials?”
“Well…” Master Ho’s voice faltered as he reluctantly replied, “Yes, we have accepted it.”
That’s right! Previously, after the Power of the Sun and Moon was fully absorbed within the pitch-black Mirror of Trials, the compensation from the Orderwarden Organization had already been handed over and received by the Kunlun Divine Mountains.
“Since you have accepted compensation for the damages caused in the Mirror of Trials, it should logically be considered the property of my Orderwarden Organization now, shouldn’t it?” Elder Skywalker asked indifferently.
This was like someone hitting and killing another person’s sheep. Since compensation had been paid for the loss of the sheep, the dead sheep should belong to the one who caused the accident.
Whether that person would roast or steam the sheep had nothing to do with the original owner.
“Well, that’s true,” Master Ho hesitated, wanting to argue.
However, Elder Skywalker coldly snorted and waved his hand. “Enough, Master Ho. There’s no need to argue further. You should know how much compensation our Orderwarden Organization has paid for this Mirror of Trials. This treasure has nothing to do with your Kunlun Divine Mountains. We have the right to decide how to distribute it. Is there a problem with that?”
At this moment, Elder Skywalker put away the gentle smile that had always been on his face and his tone carried a hint of severity. Finally, he revealed the dominance and strength of the Orderwarden Organization.
Since I tried to reason with you and you insisted on arguing, don’t blame me for not giving you face.
As the words fell, Master Ho’s expression turned sour, but he shook his head silently without saying anything more.
The other elders and core members of the Kunlun Divine Mountains exchanged glances but remained silent. When the Mirror of Trials seemed to be on the verge of destruction, the Kunlun Divine Mountains had made unceremonious demands to the Orderwarden Organization.
Immortal weapons, fragments of the Dao, the Bodhi Tree…
Many, those were unheard-of divine objects.
The Orderwarden Organization paid a great price for them, but Kunlun Divine Mountains, oblivious to the consequences, truly offended the Orderwarden Organization and will face the consequences.
Even though they are one of the four strongest ancient forces…
Lachlan glanced at Master Ho with a mixture of resentment and unwillingness, and Master Ho snorted coldly, preparing to leave.
Lachlan chuckled, relieved in his heart.
Fortunately, the predecessors of the Orderwarden Organization helped him.
However, at this moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out.
“Elder Skywalker, you said this Mirror of Trials is what the Orderwarden Organization allocated to the Seed of the Star Path. Am I correct in assuming that I am now one of the Seed of the Star Path?
Do I qualify to compete for this Mirror of Trials?”
Following the sound, a slender and powerful young man bowed to Elder Skywalker and asked.
With a strong sense of provocation and combativeness in his eyes, he locked onto Lachlan.
It was Leland, the prodigy of Kunlun Divine Mountains.
He had reached the peak of the later stage of Void Reclusion, possessed the laws of space, as well as the laws of gold, wood, and water, the three major elements of the Five Elements.
Elder Skywalker responded with a meaningful “Hmm,” and nodded slightly, “In theory, you are qualified.”
“In that case, I want to challenge Lachlan for the ownership of this Mirror of Trials!
I request permission from the senior to do so!”
Leland stared at Lachlan, his tone resolute.
“Oh?”
Elder Skywalker raised an eyebrow and pondered for a moment, “Very well, you can have a little contest, and the winner will claim it.”
Having reached this point, it would be unfair for him to reject Leland’s proposal.
And indeed, Leland was also one of the Seed of the Star Path, so if this Mirror of Trials belonged to the Orderwarden Organization, Leland naturally had the right to compete for it.
Moreover, the Mirror of Trials was originally the Kunlun Divine Mountains’ treasured artifact.
It was not unreasonable for Leland to fight for his sect’s benefit.
“If any of you other youngsters are interested in this Mirror of Trials, you can also compete.”
To demonstrate fairness, Elder Skywalker addressed the other Seed of the Star Path.
However, the others showed no intention of participating.
Contending for the Mirror of Trials meant not only facing Lachlan but also battling against the abnormality among abnormalities, Leland. The others lacked confidence.
“So, Lachlan, right? Shall you spar with Leland?”
Elder Skywalker looked at Lachlan with interest.
At this moment, Savannah, Violet, and Cecil next to Lachlan couldn’t say much.
They were just a little nervous for him!
Elder Fiery Dragon and Wynne in the distance also approached.
However, they weren’t too worried either!
Although Leland was powerful, with Elder Skywalker present, neither side should be in mortal danger.
If a crisis arose, Elder Skywalker would surely take action.
He wouldn’t allow the Seed of the Star Path, who had been carefully selected, to perish like this!
“Very well, I will reluctantly beat you up and crush your hope!”
“The Mirror of Trials is mine!”
Lachlan nodded and spoke with determination and dominance in the face of Leland’s challenge.
As his words fell, the expressions of everyone present changed.
They hadn’t expected that in the face of the monstrously strong Leland, Lachlan would dare to speak such “arrogant words”!
