Chapter 971: Delivering the Four Elements Divine Fire
“Hmm? Are you with the Wynter family?”
Lachlan raised an eyebrow.
“Yes! This Fortune Pearl is too precious. Even though your uncle and I are Nascent Soul cultivators, we can’t guarantee we won’t encounter any unexpected events.
Your strength is formidable, and traveling together ensures safety.
If the Fortune Pearl were to be stolen or lost, how would Aunt Pandora explain it to you?
Moreover, you also carry the blood of the Wynter family. Don’t you want to go back and see it?”
Pandora Wynter spoke gently with a smile.
Looking at Pandora Wynter, who had the same demeanor as his mother and bore a striking resemblance to her, Lachlan felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Indeed!
Why not visit his mother’s former home?
“Alright! I’ll go with you to the Wynter family.”
Lachlan nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing this, Pandora Wynter and Eason Jenkin both showed signs of relief and joy.
That day, after bidding farewell to Gerard, Lachlan stayed with Pandora Wynter and Eason Jenkin’s group in a hotel in a nearby city.
The previous night, after seizing the Four Elements Divine Fire from Adele, Lachlan contacted his guide, Mona Woodward.
After waiting a day, Mona Woodward arrived!
In the hotel room, Lachlan carefully took out a box made entirely of obsidian from his wrist space.
The Four Elements Divine Fire was inside.
“Mona, I was fortunate enough to find the Four Elements Divine Fire. Please take it back to Master Cassian.”
“Thank you.”
Lachlan said politely.
Thinking about a Great Vehicle realm existence running errands for him felt somewhat strange.
Yes! This must be the privilege of being a Seed of the Star Path!
“Hehe, little brother, you really did it!
You found such a divine item so quickly?”
Mona Woodward teased Lachlan as she looked at him.
Her eyes appraised him as she smiled and said, “It seems your strength has increased again! But your progress in the Qi Refinement realm is a bit slow, you’ve only advanced one minor stage.
Lachlan, you need to hurry up!”
“Yes!”
Lachlan quickly responded.
He thought to himself: In two years, I should be able to break through to the Shattered Void Realm and not be kicked out of the Seed of the Star Path ranks.
“Alright! I’ll take this Four Elements Divine Fire to Cassian for you. He will definitely forge a divine weapon gauntlet for you.
Now that you have the Divine Beast Wildernesses Fist, once you train it to a certain level, a gauntlet will indeed suit you.
Look forward to it.”
Mona Woodward said with a smile before changing her tone: “By the way, I heard you and the Seed of the Star Path from Penglai Fairy Island encountered a World Annihilation Demon that has been reincarnating through borrowed bodies?”
Hearing this, Lachlan nodded: “Yes! If not for the timely arrival of seniors from the Orderwarden organization, Adele and I might not have survived.
Are all demons that reincarnate through borrowed bodies so powerful?”
Recalling the dangerous battle with the great demon Kendrick, Lachlan asked with lingering fear.
“Not all of them! These demons from the annihilation faction escaped from the Nine Abyss Demon Prison thirty years ago by abandoning their physical bodies and escaping with only their primordial spirits.
Over thirty years, their growth has varied greatly.
Some chose to reincarnate and might still be children without awakened memories of their past lives.
Before awakening their past memories, they appear no different from ordinary people.
However, once they start to awaken their past memories, their growth rate becomes astonishing.
In short, be careful.
As Seeds of the Star Path, you might become targets for these annihilation demons.
If you discover or suspect anything, report it to me immediately, understood?”
Mona Woodward instructed.
Hearing her words, Lachlan maintained a calm exterior and nodded: “Understood, Mona!”
But inside, he felt a sense of confusion and inexplicable fear.
After hearing similar descriptions from another senior in gray robes and now from Mona Woodward, he was almost certain… Miranda was one of these reincarnated demons?
How could this be?
His wife was actually a reincarnated demon?
What should he do if he met Miranda again?
He had sworn an oath to Heaven’s Will, putting him in direct opposition to these annihilation demons.
Would he eventually have to become enemies with Miranda?
“What’s wrong, little brother? What are you thinking about?”
Despite his calm exterior, Mona Woodward, as a Great Vehicle cultivator, could still sense Lachlan’s emotions.
Her gaze sharpened as she looked at Lachlan and asked.
“Nothing! I was just recalling the battle with Kendrick and still feeling some fear.”
Lachlan snapped back to reality and gave a perfunctory response.
Mona Woodward gave him a deep look, suspicion flashing in her eyes.
“Fear? As your guide, I’ve learned about you.
Given your usual behavior, I find it hard to believe you’d be afraid! Haha…”
“Little brother, are you hiding something from me? From the Orderwarden organization?”
She asked with a smile.
“No! If there is anything, it’s just some personal matters.”
Lachlan smiled and shook his head.
“Alright! Remember to contact me if anything comes up.”
“I’m leaving now, little brother!”
Mona Woodward smiled at Lachlan before disappearing from the room.
Once he felt she had completely left, Lachlan let out a long sigh of relief.
When Mona Woodward had questioned him earlier, he felt immense pressure.
But no matter what, he couldn’t report his suspicions about Miranda being a reincarnated demon to the Orderwarden organization.
Otherwise, Miranda would certainly be hunted down and mercilessly killed by them!
“My wife, will we ever have a chance to be together in this life?”
“If you truly are a reincarnated demon and awaken your past memories, will you still… remember me?”
Lachlan looked out the window, feeling a deep sense of confusion and oppression.
