"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, the expression of the elegantly dressed young man changed drastically. He glared at Wyatt as if he could shoot fire from his eyes.

"You... you dare call me a dog?"

"Well... good... very good... I, Joseph Don, have never been humiliated like this in my entire life!"

Joseph Don’s face darkened as he glared at Wyatt Barnes, then issued orders to the two behind him, "What are you waiting for? I want this boy dead! I want him dead!!"

"Yes, Young Master."

Almost the moment Joseph Don finished speaking, the middle-aged man and the elder behind him responded in unison.

Just as the two were about to make a move, Lainey Don’s face turned grim, and she spoke coldly, "He is my man, Wyatt Barnes... If you dare make a move, I’ll make sure you die without a burial place! You ought to know... I have the capability."

Swish! Swish!

Upon hearing Lainey Don’s threat, the faces of the middle-aged man and elder changed drastically, restraining the power that was about to burst forth.

The woman before them, if truly intent on killing them, they wouldn’t survive!

After all, the woman before them was not only the number one among the younger generation of the Don Sect but also the highly favored descendant of one of the sect’s revered Elders.

She might not be their opponent alone, but once she speaks, that Elder would certainly not spare them.

Even though their master is the favored descendant of another Elder, that Elder may not tear apart their relationship just for them!

"If you don’t act, I’ll make sure you die later!"

"If you do act... and succeed, I’ll ensure your safety and arrange for your departure."

Joseph Don noticed the hesitation of the two behind him, realizing they were intimidated by Lainey Don’s threat, and couldn’t help but issue a stern threat.

These two are his people.

Now, upon hearing his orders, cowed by Lainey Don’s threat to act...

This was simply a slap to his face!

How could he endure this?

Swish! Swish!

After hearing Joseph Don’s threat, the expressions of the middle-aged man and elder changed once more, finally forcing themselves to proceed.

Either way, it’s death!

It’s better to follow their master’s order; maybe they could escape the Don Sect and save their lives.

"You hold her off... I’ll go kill that pretty boy!"

After the elder spoke to the middle-aged man, he immediately focused on Wyatt Barnes and rushed out, moving to assassinate Wyatt.

"Miss Lainey, sorry for the offense!"

As the middle-aged man nodded, he immediately locked his gaze on Lainey Don, flying towards her to hold her back, allowing his companion to strike at the man beside Lainey Don, or even kill him!

"Two ’Four Tribulation Scattered Immortals’?"

As the elder and middle-aged man made their move, Wyatt Barnes sensed the aura from their burgeoning power, identifying them both as ’Four Tribulation Scattered Immortals’.

"Courting death!!"

Seeing Joseph Don’s two men daring to attack, Lainey Don’s face turned incredibly sour. She quickly raised her hand, manifesting a dagger.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

...

As Lainey Don infused power into the dagger, it extended with a sharp and menacing aura as if it could pierce through everything, emitting an intimidating presence.

Lainey Don made her move.

Her first target wasn’t the middle-aged man targeting her but rather the elder lunging towards Wyatt Barnes.

Although the elder was a Four Tribulation Scattered Immortal, his full attention was on Wyatt Barnes and he was completely unaware that Lainey Don had obtained the ’Immortal Treasure,’ enhancing her strength to match a ’Five Tribulation Scattered Immortal’!

So, just as he neared Wyatt Barnes and prepared to strike...

Lainey Don’s dagger was already at his side!

"No!!"

When the elder realized the situation and his face drastically changed, it was already too late.

Not to mention, Lainey Don’s current strike was enough to match a ’Five Tribulation Scattered Immortal’.

Even if Lainey Don’s current strike only matched that of a Four Tribulation Scattered Immortal, he might not be killed or injured but would be forced to retreat awkwardly...

But now, Lainey Don’s strike was enough to match a ’Five Tribulation Scattered Immortal’.

The power comparable to a Five Tribulation Scattered Immortal rushed forth, leaving him no room to react.

Pfft!!

Lainey Don’s dagger plunged into the elder’s forehead like piercing through a balloon, instantly killing him...

In a flash, the Four Tribulation Scattered Immortal’s life was extinguished!

"Hmph!"

After killing the elder, Lainey Don’s gaze turned icy once more. She raised her hand in a profoundly mysterious move and threw the dagger.

At once.

Swoosh!!

The dagger sliced through the air, its target the middle-aged man rushing towards her.

Actually, when the middle-aged man saw Lainey Don instantly kill his companion, a raging storm surged in his heart, and his face changed dramatically, yet he could not comprehend it:

This woman, whose strength at most matches theirs, how can she unleash such a powerful attack?

"Celestial treasure!"

When Lainey Don tossed the dagger towards him with a very mysterious technique, he finally discovered the problem.

The dagger whistling towards him was clearly not a mundane weapon, but a ’celestial treasure’!

Thud!!

In the instant the middle-aged man realized Lainey Don’s dagger was a celestial treasure, the dagger had already penetrated his brow, entering from the front and exiting from the back, directly killing him and leading him to the same fate as his companion.

In an instant, killing two Scattered Immortals of the Fourth Tribulation!

"The Immortal Method mastered by Lainey Don... could it not only engage enemies closely but also evolve into a hidden weapon technique?"

Earlier, Wyatt Barnes too could see:

Whether close combat or using the dagger for a ranged hidden weapon attack, the attacks Lainey Don unleashed were generally those that only an existence of the Fifth Tribulation Scattered Immortal level could perform.

"You... you... you actually obtained the ’celestial treasure’?!"

When the dagger returned to Lainey Don’s hand, Joseph Don finally came to his senses; his face changed from one moment to the next, but his gaze on the dagger in Lainey Don’s hand flickered faintly with a greedy glow.

"Let’s go!"

With a cold glance at Joseph Don, Lainey Don prepared to take Wyatt Barnes away. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"If you’re uneasy about dealing with him... I’ll do it, then!"

Yet, facing Lainey Don’s care, Wyatt Barnes remained still.

His gaze was fixed on Joseph Don.

Beneath the calm gaze, a murderous intent emerged!

The fact that Joseph Don dared to send people to kill him meant he must pay with his life!

Currently, he only thinks Lainey Don is uneasy about dealing with Joseph Don.

"I know you really want to kill him, and he deserves to die. But once you kill him, my family’s Elder Ancestor would no longer lend the ’Star Map’ to you... Though Joseph Don isn’t his direct descendant, after all, he is part of the Don Sect; should you kill him, my family’s Elder Ancestor would see you as an enemy too."

Lainey Don said to Wyatt Barnes.

"For your sake."

Upon hearing Lainey Don’s words, Wyatt Barnes slightly furrowed his brows but eventually nodded.

"However... although the death penalty can be avoided, the punishment cannot!"

Almost the moment Wyatt’s voice dropped, he darted out like a phantom.

Whoosh!

Wyatt Barnes was instantly beside Joseph Don, and his hands turned into shadows, directly snapping Joseph Don’s hands and feet, suppressing his internal power so he couldn’t use his strength to ease the pain.

"Ah—"

Under such circumstances, Joseph Don inevitably let out a scream as if being slaughtered.

His cultivation, only at the level of ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation,’ in front of Wyatt Barnes, was like an ant, vulnerable to a single blow!

For Wyatt to torment him couldn’t be easier.

"Let’s go."

Ignoring the murderous gaze from Joseph Don, Wyatt greeted Lainey Don, then followed her to leave and prepared to borrow the ’Star Map’ from Lainey’s Elder Ancestor.

Although with his current strength, he could totally, after killing Joseph Don and becoming an enemy of the Don Sect, use forceful means to snatch the desired ’Star Map’ from Lainey’s Elder Ancestor and then retreat unscathed...

But considering Lainey Don was quite nice and helped him in the Outer Heaven Secret Realm, he truly couldn’t bring himself to act ruthlessly towards Lainey’s Elder Ancestor!

"No matter who you are... I want you dead! I want you dead!!"

And when the figures of Wyatt Barnes and Lainey Don turned into ’little black dots’ in Joseph Don’s eyes, he fiercely glared at the small black dots, continuously letting out furious roars of grief, with eyes appearing like they would pop out in anger.

On the other side.

"I am now fully confident in borrowing the ’Star Map’ from my family’s Elder Ancestor... but, you must agree to one condition."

After a moment of silence, Lainey Don looked at Wyatt Barnes and said.

"Go ahead."

Wyatt Barnes said.

Though he thought it was reasonable for Lainey Don to set conditions, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable and sensed the distance between him and Lainey was involuntarily widening.

After all, earlier to some extent, he had already considered Lainey Don as a ’friend.’

"Once the Star Map is borrowed, take me away from the star system where the Don Sect is located."

Lainey Don spoke her condition.

"Is that all?"

Originally, Wyatt Barnes thought Lainey Don might exploit the situation, proposing some unreasonable conditions, like wanting the ’celestial treasure’ from him...

But now, he realized:

He had judged a noble act with vile intent.

To him, Lainey Don’s condition was virtually no condition, merely a simple favor!

Even if Lainey didn’t help him to get the ’Star Map,’ if she wanted to leave the star system with him where Don Sect was located, he wouldn’t refuse.
