Chapter 979: The Lost Land
“Lachlan, do not be disrespectful to the two ancestors.
Quickly, pay your respects to the two ancestors!”
Jerome Wynter’s face turned stern as he spoke to Lachlan with a hint of severity.
In his view, Lachlan could not possibly be a match for the Fragmentation Void beings.
He was afraid that Lachlan might anger the two ancestors and bring trouble upon himself!
Lachlan hesitated for a moment but eventually cupped his hands towards the two Wynter family ancestors.
“Alright, everyone disperse! Help the patriarch down to rest and recover. Lachlan, come with us!”
“Jerome Wynter, make proper arrangements for this branch of the family.”
Ancestor Garraway waved his hand at the others and finally pointed at Terry Wynter and Stephanie Wynter’s family.
Moments later…
At the peak of a mountain within the Ancient Wynter Family’s territory.
There stood a small pavilion where Ancestor Garraway and Ancestor Salazar brought Lachlan.
“Lachlan, you face us without fear or servility! You must have means to contend with Powerful Fragmented Void beings?”
After sitting down on several stone stools, Ancestor Garraway looked at Lachlan and asked.
Ancestor Salazar also stared at Lachlan, his expression unreadable, as if lost in thought.
“Heh, if you intend to harm me, you will find out soon enough!”
Lachlan responded with a faint smile.
“Truly, the new generation surpasses the old!
It seems an era belonging to your young generation is about to dawn.”
Ancestor Garraway shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of lament.
The next second, his gaze sharpened as he said, “Lachlan, do you truly possess our Ancient Wynter Family’s Treasure Map and Vermilion Bird Divine Ancestor Divine Feather? Take them out and let us see!”
“Don’t worry, we won’t take them from you!”
Ancestor Salazar added with a smile.
Lachlan nodded and took out the Treasure Map and the multicolored feather from his wrist space.
These items were given to him by an elder of the hidden Wu family to appease his anger.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Since Todd Wynter and Davan Wynter could track these items to find him, they must be related to the Ancient Wynter Family.
Afterward, Lachlan transferred these items from the most basic mustard seed bag to the storage bag Sullivan had given him to block their aura.
Otherwise, the people from the Ancient Wynter Family would have found him again.
Upon seeing the Treasure Map and Divine Feather, Ancestor Garraway and Ancestor Salazar exchanged glances, their eyes showing a flicker of emotion.
“Lachlan, since you want to keep these items, you must be interested in the legendary treasure?”
Ancestor Garraway’s eyes flickered with a hint of inscrutability.
“Of course!”
Lachlan did not avoid the question and nodded.
He then added, “For those who cultivate, who isn’t interested in opportunities? Ancestors, please don’t blame me!
However, since I am half a member of the Wynter family, if I do find the treasure that belongs to the Ancient Wynter Family, I wouldn’t mind sharing it with the Wynter family.”
Though he said this, he added in his heart: Of course, I’ll first take whatever I fancy before considering sharing.
“Good! It’s enough that you have this intention.”
“But to be honest with you, the treasure is actually within our Ancient Wynter Family’s territory!”
Ancestor Garraway said.
Ancestor Salazar, who spoke less, nodded with a smile.
“Oh? Within this family territory?”
Lachlan’s expression changed upon hearing this.
Ancestor Garraway nodded and stood at the peak, looking far into the depths of the family territory at a mountain range shrouded in red firelight.
Following his gaze, Lachlan squinted slightly: “Could it be within that fire Spiritual Vein?”
“Indeed! Within that fire Spiritual Vein lies another domain we call the Lost Land.
The Treasure Map is actually a map of the Lost Land!”
Ancestor Garraway said solemnly before his expression turned stern: “Lachlan, if you wish to enter, I won’t stop you.
If you’re not afraid of being trapped or even perishing inside, you can take that Vermilion Bird Divine Ancestor Divine Feather and give it a try.”
“Lachlan, I advise against it!
From what we know now, the Lost Land is extremely dangerous. Our Ancient Wynter Family is currently shrouded in misfortune, and I suspect it is because of the Lost Land.”
Ancestor Salazar advised at this moment.
A flicker of reminiscence and dread flashed deep in his eyes.
In the past, the Ancient Wynter Family did not know there was another domain within the fire Spiritual Vein.
It was only passed down through generations that the fire Spiritual Vein was formed by the Vermilion Bird Divine Ancestor and provided various cultivation resources and fire-element treasures for the Ancient Wynter Family.
But thirty years ago, a mysterious resentment suddenly surged from within the fire Spiritual Vein.
At that time, the previous patriarch of the Ancient Wynter Family and three Powerful Clan Guardians of Shattered Void Realm took advantage of this opening to explore inside.
However, from then on, these four Powerful Fragmented Void beings never returned!
Only one ancestor of the Wynter family at Late-stage Fragmented Void barely broke through the barrier of the Lost Land after a month and a half inside.
But soon after, he was forcibly pulled back by some force.
Amidst unwilling roars, he threw out the Treasure Map and Vermilion Bird Divine Ancestor Divine Feather.
Since then, that domain within the fire Spiritual Vein has been called the Lost Land by members of the Ancient Wynter Family.
