Chapter 726: Let Him Decide
Listening to his daughter’s voice, Lachlan’s heart melted. At the same time, he breathed a temporary sigh of relief. At least it seemed that Nora was still safe for now. Perhaps, with him being away, they wouldn’t do anything to Nora for the time being?
“Nora, darling, daddy will be back soon! What do you want? Daddy will bring it for you,” Lachlan’s voice was filled with indulgence.
Next, Nora listed a bunch of delicious and fun things, and Lachlan readily agreed to everything. After chatting with his daughter for a while, Kyrie took back the phone, a look of joy on his face. “Lachlan, you should come back soon! Your master is worried about your safety outside. It’s safest to return to the sect.”
“Alright! I will return today…” Lachlan promised, and then calmly chatted with Kyrie for a few more moments before hanging up.
“How is she, young master? Is your daughter okay?” Vinnie asked anxiously in the hotel room.
“She’s fine for now,” Lachlan shook his head, frowning. “Senior, do you think I may be overthinking it? Broken Pulse Sect may want my inheritance, but perhaps it’s not as sinister as I imagine…”
Deep down, Lachlan was shaken. He didn’t want to believe that Kyrie, who had once wholeheartedly helped him, would harbor ill intentions. Sullivan, who had been kind and protective within the Broken Pulse Sect, would he really harm him? However, at this Vinnie’s face turned stern, and he urged urgently, “Young master, don’t be fooled! Broken Pulse Sect has never given up on the heart of our Dudrar Dragonseal Bloodline! If it weren’t for the Orderwarden organization categorizing us as a hidden force after the last sect war, Broken Pulse Sect would have wiped out our Sun Moon Sect without mercy. Young master, you are the Descendant of Dudrar Dragon, and Broken Pulse Sect will not let you go. Don’t be blinded by their temporary favor!”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Lachlan’s expression fluctuated for a moment. Finally, after a while, he nodded silently…
That afternoon, deep within Horizon Mountain, Lachlan and Vinnie parted ways in a certain valley. Then, the Elder Sect Master of the Sun Moon Sect, who was at the pinnacle of Void Reclusion, concealed his breath and disappeared into the mountains.
Originally, Vinnie was supposed to disguise himself as Lachlan’s attendant and accompany him to Broken Pulse Sect. However, after careful consideration, the plan was scrapped. Broken Pulse Sect was an ancient sect and one of the most powerful forces. It almost wiped out Sun Moon Sect, indicating the presence of top-notch experts hidden within.
Despite Vinnie’s extraordinary strength, he could still be detected by the experts within Broken Pulse Sect. If this endangered Nora, Lachlan would regret it.
So to be safe, Lachlan would return to Broken Pulse Sect as if nothing was amiss and then find the opportunity to escape with his daughter. Vinnie would wait outside the sect’s territory, ready to assist at any time.
After a while, Lachlan entered the territory of Broken Pulse Sect. He was greeted by two disciples, who respectfully bowed upon seeing him. “Greetings, Uncle Lachlan!”
After passing the last sect assessment and the incident on Prideful Peak, Lachlan had become somewhat of a celebrity within the Broken Pulse Sect.
Those disciples responsible for guarding the entry into the sect’s domain recognized him. Being a direct disciple of their sect master, Sullivan, Lachlan held a higher rank than these disciples. Serving as an uncle figure despite his recent induction.
After a brief exchange, Lachlan continued towards the deepest part of Broken Pulse Sect, the Peak of Celestial Connection. Kyrie had a distinctive status within the sect and did not reside on the normal peaks like Prideful Peak or Fairy Peak.
He lived on the main Peak of Celestial Connection, along with the sect master, vice sect master, and other core figures of the sect. Lachlan had spent a week in Broken Pulse Sect previously and was familiar with the place, so he headed straight to Kyrie’s residence.
All the while, he only wanted to see his daughter as soon as possible, and ideally, to sneak away undetected with her.
Meanwhile, at the Peak of Celestial Connection, in a group of buildings, was the residence of the vice sect master, Sullivan. Kyrie was currently sitting across from Sullivan, separated by a stone board with various pieces on it.
“Brother, do you really… want to do this?” Kyrie asked hesitantly after placing a piece on the board.
“Yes! This is also your older brother’s intention,” Sullivan nodded, his expression unchanging. Kyrie’s older brother was the current sect master, Ernie McCarthy. “Lachlan is your disciple, after all!”
“Disciple? Kyrie, from the beginning, you should have known why we took in Lachlan,” Sullivan shook his head. “And you should know that last time, Lachlan’s ‘inheritance’ was just a façade. This boy has never truly been devoted to the Broken Pulse Sect. What are you worrying about?”
Sullivan’s voice turned cold, and his expression was incredibly indifferent. Lachlan had complied with the sect’s request to write down some of his ‘inheritance’.
This included martial arts, medical skills from the Dragon Emperor’s Canon, and various alchemy techniques. However, Lachlan had undoubtedly held back information.
Sullivan and the high-ranking members of the Broken Pulse Sect were aware of this. Their initial plan was to gradually make Lachlan loyal to the sect and then find a way to extract all the information from him.
But now, upon hearing that Lachlan was consorting with Sun Moon Sect and informing the sect about it, the high-ranking members of the Broken Pulse Sect made a decisive move. They had to quickly obtain whatever inheritance Lachlan had received.
“Alright…” Kyrie sighed repeatedly, shaking his head. Seeing his reaction, Sullivan patted his shoulder. ”
As for Lachlan’s fate in the end, it depends on him! I hope he will be sensible. In this way, even if I control him mentally, he will still have his own thoughts and consciousness. The most important thing is… he will still be alive!”
