Lachlan was originally prepared to fight desperately against the Elder of the Verdant Pine, a representative from the hidden Wood family.
However, the Elder was sent flying out of nowhere. At that moment, a figure appeared on the path where the Elder of the Verdant Pine had charged.
The figure looked sloppy and wore tattered clothes but emitted an unfathomable aura. This left Lachlan bewildered as he stared at the person.
Wasn't this the crazy old man who had bumped him into the volcano in the Sacred Medicine Valley? However, the old man didn't display any signs of madness now. Instead, he gave off an aura of reverence and mystery.
The Elder of the Verdant Pine was slapped by the old man and convulsed a few times before falling to the ground, lifeless. Blood stained the ground, creating a gruesome scene.
If one didn't know, they would think he had been hit by a train.
Lachlan watched this scene with his eyelids twitching in shock as he looked at the crazy old man.
The members of several ancient martial families who happened to pass by in their cars couldn't help but inhale sharply as they witnessed the scene.
Nathaniel, Lightless, and Black Star all wore expressions of extreme shock.
"Isn't that the crazy old man? How did he appear again?"
"And he just helped Landon by slapping the representative from the hidden Wood family?" Nathaniel's face twitched as he shouted in astonishment.
He also knew this crazy old man. In the Sacred Medicine Valley, this guy had bumped Lachlan into the volcano.
At first, others had thought the crazy old man was harming Lachlan, but what was the result?
After Lachlan went down, he wasn't injured by the Otherworldly Beast. Not only that, he even broke through and obtained the divine medicine.
And now, the crazy old man had timely intervened to help Lachlan kill the representative from the hidden Wood family who was blocking their way.
That was a... Golden Core expert! And he was killed with a single slap?
Hiss... How terrifying was the strength of this crazy old man? And such a terrifying existence seemed to be... protecting Landon?
For a moment, Nathaniel's mind was filled with various speculations.
Landon was just a member of the Graham family. Was there someone in the Graham family capable of instantly killing a Golden Core expert?
But no matter what, Nathaniel regarded Lachlan and the Graham family as existences that shouldn't be provoked.
"Nathaniel, what should we do now?" asked Lightless with a serious expression.
"Leave! Let's leave quickly!" Nathaniel's gaze turned cold as he glanced at the crazy old man and lowered his voice. It seemed like he feared that if Lachlan and the crazy old man saw them staying here to watch the show, they would cause trouble for them.
"Yes!" Black Star, in a panic, started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and tried to quickly distance themselves.
However, the sudden movement startled Nathaniel and Lightless.
"Black Star, be more discreet!" Nathaniel said impatiently. Fortunately, Lachlan and the crazy old man were engrossed in their conversation and didn't notice them, which relieved the three of them.
The other ancient martial families and sects who had been watching the scene also quietly left.
It seemed like they were afraid of getting into trouble. Killing a Golden Core expert in an instant, the situation was too damn dangerous!
"Sir, thank you very much!"
"You..."
At this moment, Lachlan arched his hand towards the crazy old man, expressing his gratitude.
He looked at him and, for some reason, felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity deep inside him.
He saw the crazy old man staring at him with profound and weathered eyes for a long time.
The next moment, the old man waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Let's talk in the car."
Lachlan nodded and hurriedly went to open the car door for the old man, inviting him to the passenger seat.
After Lachlan got in the car himself, he couldn't help but carefully observe the old man.
The old man had disheveled hair and emitted an unpleasant odor, even worse than a beggar.
