Chapter 218 Broken Picture
Sierra could sense the change in Lachlan's demeanor, and her face couldn't help but contort. Theman who had just approached her with a smug look on his face seemed to have transformed from amangy dog into a vicious wolf!
"What's gotten into you? Why should I tell you anything?" Sierra furrowed her brow and coldlyretorted.
Bam!
As soon as she finished speaking, Lachlan stomped his foot and made a move towards Sierra.
Sierra's face turned pale, but she quickly formed her fingers into swords and pointed them towardsLachlan's chest. In that instant, she unleashed all of the power of Transmutation Force at its initialstage, attacking with incredible speed and ferocity. Even the air around them whistled as her fingerssliced through it.
However, when faced with Sierra's attack, Lachlan showed a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Crack!
With one swift motion, he slapped away Sierra's attack before grabbing hold of her neck with bothhands and lifting her off the ground.
"Where did this jade pendant come from?" he demanded. "Tell me! Otherwise I'll make sure youexperience what it feels like to beg for death!"
Sierra blushed deeply at being held so close by this terrifying man who showed no mercy or regardfor beauty. She struggled to breathe under his grip while feeling shocked by his strength. How was itpossible for someone at Transmutation Force initial stage like herself to be so powerless againsthim?
"It... it belonged to someone who passed away," she gasped out finally after some hesitation.
Lachlan trembled slightly upon hearing these words; his eyes widened in disbelief. "What did yousay? Someone who passed away?"
"Relic ..."
The next moment, he released Sierra and, with red eyes, demanded, "Speak! Continue speaking!Whose relic is it? Where is that person?"
Sierra hesitated for a moment, looking at Lachlan in this state, and secretly made some guesses inher heart.
"That was eight years ago when I had just passed the sect's test and went down the mountain fortraining! Along the way, I encountered a dying middle-aged couple. This jade pendant belonged tothat woman..."
Next, Sierra recounted the events of that year.
The condition of the middle-aged couple was extremely bad, covered in injuries, and marked withpurple patterns all over their bodies.
Sierra brought the two back to the sect, hoping that her master could save them. However, a fewdays later, both the man and the woman died, and they died in extreme agony.
"They died horribly! Those purple marks on their bodies erupted from the inside out, and someterrifying bugs even crawled out of them! It's hard to imagine how much pain they must haveendured before death. My master said they fell victim to a curse from some ancient martial artsfamily. This curse was used by that family to punish traitors!" Sierra explained.
At this moment, Lachlan was trembling violently all over his body. He gritted his teeth and askedword by word, "Which family? Did your master mention it?" He looked at Sierra with red eyes andsaid.
"Is it a family called the Willis family from ancient times?"
Upon hearing this, Sierra shook her head and said, "I'm not sure about that. My master is verysecretive about it and doesn't say much!"
"Are the man and woman buried in your sect?" Lachlan's voice trembled slightly as he choked outthe question.
"No! My master performed sky burial for them." Sierra shook her head and said.
Sky burial was a traditional burial method in Lucoork West. After a person died, the body wastransported to a designated location to be consumed by birds and animals.
Upon hearing these words, Lachlan went crazy and let out a loud roar as he charged towardsSierra.
He grabbed Sierra's shoulder and asked, "Sky burial? Why sky burial? Why do you have the right tohandle their bodies?"
Sky burial?
Then, wouldn't his parents' remains be completely gone!
Sierra watched Lachlan, who looked like he was going crazy, and felt her heart pounding with fear.She was truly worried that this man might kill her in a fit of rage.
"Sky burial is the greatest respect for the deceased in our customs! It represents the immortality ofthe soul and reincarnation!"
"I'm sorry, my master meant well!"
Lachlan stared at Sierra. It seemed like an eternity before he finally released her.
Thud!
He staggered, and his body, as if losing all support, collapsed to the ground.
