Chapter 398 Being a Robber Feels Good
Lachlan looked at Hugo with a look of suspicion and uncertainty. He thought to himself, were theyboth plotting against each other? Was it just for the sake of competing for a Five-Colored Lotus?
At this moment, Hugo looked coldly at Lachlan and said, "Landon, don't be scared. I won't kill you."
Lachlan responded with a questioning sound and secretly thought to himself: You say you won't killme, but can you really do it if you wanted to?
"What do you mean by not killing me?"
"You're not going to help your brother seek revenge?" Lachlan was surprised by this response andasked why.
Hugo sneered and said with bitterness and resentment in his voice, "There's nothing worthavenging. Jackson was killed by your trickery. It's his own fault for being foolish enough to riskeverything for the sake of our family."
He then changed his tone, "Not only will I spare your life, but I'll also give you some news! After thispersonal ranking trial is over, both you and Callum should be careful! Especially you! The Elder ofthe Verdant Pine from the Hidden Wood family has set their sights on killing you after leavingHudpids Sect!"
"He's at least at Golden Core Realm or above!" added Hugo.
Upon hearing this news, Lachlan's eyes widened in shock as he became even more confused aboutwhat was happening.
What? Why is Hugo warning me about my safety? What kind of game is he playing?
"Why are you giving me a heads up?" Lachlan asked directly.
Hugo had an expression mixed with sadness, anger and resentment on his face as he replied, "Whynot? As long as it disgusts the Wood family or the Hidden Wood family members, don't mind doingit!"
"Believe it or not, that's all there is to say. Take care!" With that said, Hugo turned around quicklywithout fighting Lachlan over the Five-Colored Lotus anymore.
Lachlan stood there, his face changing several times, speculating in his heart.
"Did Hugo have a falling out in the family? Or is this some conspiracy against me?"
"Whatever, I'll just be careful!"
"But it's better to believe there's a threat than to dismiss it. If there's really a cultivator of GoldenCore or higher trying to kill me, it could be troublesome."
Lachlan thought to himself, a serious expression appearing on his face. Next, he collected the Five-Colored Lotus into his mustard seed bag and then searched the body of Jett.
The mustard seed bag on the other side was empty, indicating that he hadn't harvested anythingsince entering the Sacred Medicine Valley.
Lachlan curled his lips, picked up the crude knife belonging to the deceased, and headed towardsthe direction of the massive shadow of the mountain peak.
As time passed, Lachlan occasionally encountered herbs of varying quality, all of which he collectedand stored in his mustard seed bag. After about an hour, his mustard seed bag had gained nine
more herbs.
Among them was a fruit called "Earth Core Fruit," which could be considered a rare HeavenlyMaterial and Earthly Treasure, its quality not much different from the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus.
Lachlan felt that by absorbing the spiritual energy contained in the Earth Core Fruit, he might beable to break through to the Core Formation Realm in one go. However, after some hesitation, hedismissed the idea.
The breakthrough process might not necessarily take a long time, and there were too manyuncertainties in this place, making it unsafe.
Better to play it safe!
An hour later...
Squelch!
Lachlan mercilessly swung the crude knife in his hand, splitting a participant in the later stage ofUppecia into two. On the ground, there were two more bodies, all falling to Lachlan's blade.
These three individuals were all in the later stage of Uppecia.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
After encountering each other, instead of fighting, they chose to travel together.
After all, the strength of the later stage of Uppecia was not considered dominant among theparticipants in this trial. They intentionally grouped together to counter the potential encounters withthe peak of the later stage of Uppecia or even the existence of the Core Formation Realm.
However, when they encountered Lachlan, they felt like they had met soft targets.
Without hesitation, they attempted to snatch Lachlan's mustard seed bag and even plotted toeliminate Lachlan to seize his gains.
However, the three of them joined forces but were utterly helpless against Lachlan. The sameLachlan who had previously defeated Hawkeye Ghost in the early stage of Core Formation.
"You... you're not... in the mid-stage of Uppecia!" Dragging the upper half of his body, the manstared at Lachlan in horror, asking incredulously.
"Unfortunately, you realized it too late!" Expressionless, Lachlan replied and once again swung hisblade, sending the man's head flying.
Since learning of his parents' tragic fate, a ferocious beast seemed to have awakened deep withinLachlan, showing no mercy to his enemies.
After killing these three, Lachlan's face remained calm. He casually took their mustard seed bags,bringing his total herb count to thirty-seven. Twenty of these were obtained by force from others.
"Hehe, it feels quite satisfying to be a bandit! Can't wait to meet the next one who thinks I'm an easytarget."
Lachlan's face revealed a sinister smile.
In a location near a waterfall in the Sacred Medicine Valley...
Within the dense fog, several figures could be vaguely seen standing by the pool below thewaterfall. The atmosphere seemed tense and filled with a sense of impending doom.
Among these figures, there was only one person on one side.
Savannah's delicate face displayed a mix of seriousness and anger.
Arlo and the long-haired man stood on the opposite side.
Theodore from the Great Origin Sect, accompanied by two fellow sect members, stood behindSavannah. The two groups formed a semi-circle, trapping Savannah in the middle.
"Mr. Howard, help me get rid of this guy, and I owe you a favor. What do you say?"
Arlo shouted to Theodore on the other side.
Both Arlo and Savannah were at the peak of the Uppecia later stage, and Arlo wasn't entirelyconfident of defeating Theodore. Even with the long-haired man by his side, it wasn't a completelysafe bet.
Theodore nodded, "Alright! Mr. Hernandez, if you ask, I naturally won't refuse."
This skilled young man from the Great Origin Sect readily agreed. Theodore could benefit fromforming a connection with Arlo, who belonged to the formidable Hernandez family, backed by theHudpids Sect, a hidden force. In comparison, the Graham family, behind "Callum," was of littlesignificance.
The choice for Theodore was obvious.
"Hahaha, thanks a lot! We'll join forces later to take down this tender-faced guy. We'll split the gainsbetween us, sixty-forty. I get sixty, and you get forty. How about that?" Arlo laughed and askedTheodore.
"Mr. Hernandez, your plan is reasonable."
Theodore nodded. At this moment, the two of them were already discussing how to divide thespoils, treating Savannah as if she were already dead.
"Bastard!"
Savannah cursed through gritted teeth, her face filled with intense anger.
