Chapter 789: Lachlan’s Concern



Inside the room!

The second-in-command of the Awakening Dragon Mercenary Corps was engaged in a fierce battle with a middle-aged woman.

The woman was still attractive, though a bit older, likely in her forties. But being in the Bloodline Ancient Domain, Dragonwake didn’t have many options.

Most women inside the domain were mercenaries or adventurers, and there were few of them to begin with.

And when they did appear, they were usually affiliated with other factions, leading to deadly confrontations.

Dragonwake had a wandering eye, and even in the Bloodline Ancient Domain, he couldn’t go without a woman. So, he settled for this still-attractive woman.

Originally, he had set his sights on Thelma from the Frigid Dawn Wandering Cultivators Association and expressed interest in her. However, Thelma, being affiliated with the Frigid Dawn Wandering Cultivators Association, didn’t want to become Dragonwake’s plaything.

Although the Frigid Dawn Wandering Cultivators Association’s influence in the Bloodline Ancient Domain was not as strong as the Awakening Dragon Mercenary Corps, Dragonwake couldn’t directly force himself on Thelma due to his own personal desires.

After all, he was only the second-in-command of the Awakening Dragon Mercenary Corps.

The chief’s goal and that of other leaders was to unite all capable Priocia people in the Bloodline Ancient Domain to oppose the other three most powerful factions.

At least until Dragonwake disposed of the members of the Purifying World Ecclesiarchy, Wolfkin Tribe, and Thousand Birds Gate, he adhered to this goal.

So, despite his desire for Thelma, he couldn’t have his way with her.

“Dragonwake! Dragonwake!”

A mercenary called out to Dragonwake from outside the door.

Dragonwake frowned and rose from the woman, opening the door with a displeased expression.

“What? If it’s not important, I’ll kill you!”

His mood spoiled, Dragonwake asked in a displeased tone.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Dragonwake, there’s good news! Thelma is here.”

The mercenary clearly knew of Dragonwake’s interest in Thelma and spoke in a pleasing manner.

Upon hearing this, Dragonwake’s eyes lit up. “Thelma? How did she come here? Did the Frigid Dawn Wandering Cultivators Association decide to fully join us, the Awakening Dragon Mercenary Corps?”

“No! I feel like something’s wrong with Thelma! She came with a stranger named Willis, and I feel like she’s been threatened. She specifically asked me to come and call you…”

The mercenary shook his head and described Thelma’s behavior at the castle gate to Dragonwake.

After listening, Dragonwake stroked his chin, a meaningful look on his face.

“Does this mean she’s come to seek my help?

Heh heh heh…”

The mercenary brother smiled and nodded, “Definitely! If you help her out of trouble, I think she’ll still be able to escape your grasp!”

Dragonwake grinned and nodded, “You’ve done well. Next time you come across someone suitable for you, leave a few more for you!”

With that, he patted the mercenary on the shoulder.

“Thank you, Dragonwake!”

“Let’s go! Let’s see where this Willis fellow came from. How dare he threaten a woman I’m after! His strength better not be too weak, or it’s pointless to kill him!”

In the Bloodline Ancient Domain, gaining strength from killing anyone or any creature was not always possible. The strength gap couldn’t be too large.

It was roughly equivalent to a major realm. For example, in the initial phase of Nascent Soul, killing someone above the initial phase of Golden Core would allow one to absorb their energy.

Below the initial phase of Golden Core, it would be useless…

Dragonwake left the room, striding with purpose.

Meanwhile, in a temporary guest room within the castle, Lachlan and Thelma were waiting.

Though it was called a guest room, it was essentially a temporary makeshift room.

At this moment, Lachlan’s brow furrowed with concern.

Earlier, he had killed Aidyn and two others and absorbed their energy.

Aidyn’s strength, in terms of energy and attributes, was already comparable to that of an early Nascent Soul expert.

After killing them, Lachlan’s body suddenly acquired a new power: a form of energy. This blood energy mixed with his true qi and became part of his Qi Refinement strength. With the added strength from this blood energy, Lachlan’s current power was already comparable to that of an early Nascent Soul expert.

Moreover, since he had already formed his Nascent Soul and grasped the rudiments of the Laws of Heaven’s Path, his early Nascent Soul strength surpassed that of other “false Nascent Soul” experts within the Bloodline Ancient Domain.

However, instead of being pleased, Lachlan felt a touch of concern.

In this area filled with a certain impure power, Lachlan feared that this newfound blood energy in his body would become an uncontrollable factor. It might even have an impact on him.

After all, this power wasn’t something he had gained through cultivation, but rather came from the Laws of Heaven’s Path left behind by a being of the Fragmentation Void level or higher.

At this moment, Thelma’s expression was changing constantly. She glanced at Lachlan, a cold and sly smile glinting in her eyes.

Bastard, you wanted to kill me? In the end, you’ve been tricked into coming here by me. Once Dragonwake arrives, given his desire for me, he will definitely please me and help me kill you. No matter how strong you are, you won’t be able to cause any trouble in the Awakening Dragon Mercenary Corps territory. Die, bastard!

Thinking about how she had compromised herself to spare Lachlan, even resorting to using her charm, only to be unaffected by him, Thelma harbored deep resentment.

At that moment, with urgent footsteps, a tall and tough figure, accompanied by several skilled members of the Awakening Dragon Mercenary Corps, walked into the guest room.

It was the second leader, Dragonwake, and his group of elite fighters.

Lachlan narrowed his eyes slightly.

It seemed that the Bloodline Ancient Domain was truly a good place to strengthen oneself.

The person in the front, Dragonwake, had even reached the strength level comparable to that of a late Nascent Soul expert through killing and absorbing the energy of how many people?

“Dragonwake, you’re finally here!”

“Help me!”

“Sob… sob…”

At that moment, a voice filled with surprise, grievance, and resentment rang out.

Thelma quickly rushed towards Dragonwake as soon as he appeared, ending up directly behind him.
