Yvonne Carter snapped back to his senses, immediately letting go of William Bennett's robe with both hands—if the other person had been wearing modern casual shorts, he probably would have pulled them down to the ankles by now.

"Are we about to make a move?"

Yvonne Carter changed the subject and asked.

William Bennett pondered briefly and said, "Yes, wait another fifty-seven breaths. They are preparing their ultimate strike. I will wait for a critical moment to interrupt their attack. That way, they will suffer backlash."

Yvonne Carter said, "I've already deduced the situation of these puppet death warriors. If you want to act, do it whenever you wish."

As he spoke, Yvonne Carter immediately brought up Qianlan, locking onto the seven puppet death warriors and checking each of their life records one by one.

Through these people's life records, Yvonne Carter also saw the life records of many cultivators who had interacted with them.

Following the clues like tracing vines...

After a round of 'desperate' 'deduction,' Yvonne Carter finally confirmed that this ambush had indeed been long in the making.

Moreover, Yinshang Cave Heaven was not the mastermind, only being 'remotely controlled.'

The real mastermind was a force behind Yinshang Cave Heaven called the 'Ancient Blood Heaven Clan.'

"Master, what's the situation?"

William Bennett asked, his gaze coldly fixed on the puppet death warriors on the light screen.

"These are really just puppets, with almost no self-will left—just war machines.

The person behind these seven puppet death warriors is 'Wu Xuhong,' the Grand Elder of Yinshang Cave Heaven, highly skilled in alchemy and formations. And behind this Grand Elder is ' Ethan Bennett ' from the Ancient Blood Heaven Clan..."

Yvonne Carter did not hide much in this regard.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, William Bennett's expression immediately turned very grim.

"Master, please keep this matter confidential and do not mention it to Annie Foster and the others. This is already beyond what I can handle, so let's leave it at that. I will report it to Annie Foster's father and let him handle it."

William Bennett bowed deeply to Yvonne Carter, pleading.

Ethan Bennett was clearly someone William Bennett could not afford to offend!

"Alright, since you've decided, I naturally won't interfere further."

Yvonne Carter was not interested in the various grudges and gossip involved.

"They're coming!"

William Bennett's expression grew grave.

Then, his whole body suddenly turned into a streak of light and shadow.

In the next moment, before Yvonne Carter could react, the sky suddenly trembled violently, and then, in the void, an invisible cloud of energy exploded like a mushroom cloud!

Within it, a blood-red mist appeared for a moment before being instantly annihilated.

It all happened quickly and ended even faster.

In the sky, waves of chaotic and violent, terrifying auras dispersed!

Although Yvonne Carter was not in the midst of it, his mind was still strongly shaken and impacted.

It felt as if he had witnessed a nuclear explosion right before his eyes—the world-destroying force of that instant left an indelible impression on Yvonne Carter.

"So this is the killing technique of the Nascent Soul stage? Seven puppet death warriors at the ninth and perfect level of the Golden Core stage, all cultivating the ultimate devouring technique, were instantly killed, turned to dust, without the slightest chance to resist!"

Yvonne Carter took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil and shock in his heart, trying hard to calm his wildly beating eyelids and heart.

Then, Yvonne Carter brought up the Qianlan life record system.

Sure enough, after the seven puppet death warriors died, a system notification popped up on the virtual panel of Qianlan's system information bar.

[Emily Sullivan's life record has undergone a slight change, gaining 1200 points of Destiny Value.]

[Ethan Carter's life record has undergone a slight change, gaining 250 points of Destiny Value.]

"Destiny Value, finally increased!"

Yvonne Carter looked at the current '2240' points of Destiny Value and immediately showed a gratified smile like a proud father.

Now, William Bennett, Henry Bennett, Olivia Bennett, and the others were all potential clients. If he could resolve their 'death' calamity this time, even if only temporarily, the Destiny Value he could gain would surely be considerable.

And that 'Destiny Mall' was clearly a system shop where things could be bought with Destiny Value.

In the real world, there are no shortcuts to instant success, but in the system mall? There should be, right?

"Master Carter."

Emily Sullivan and Ethan Carter flew over from afar. After entering the Illusory Spirit Boat, they immediately bowed deeply to Yvonne Carter with utmost respect.

Only then did the two of them salute William Bennett.

"Mm, you two—"

Yvonne Carter smiled, just about to say something like "your crisis has been resolved," when he suddenly froze.

Because, upon seeing the two of them, Yvonne Carter instinctively used Qianlan to lock onto them again and opened their life records.

On both of their life records, under the Fate section, four glaring red characters appeared—About to Fall!

Chapter 9: The Soul Suppressing Stele

"Master Carter, what's wrong? Could it be that my life calamity hasn't been alleviated this time?"

Emily Sullivan had always paid attention to Yvonne Carter's emotional changes, so she immediately noticed and asked uneasily.
