Chapter 2554: Chapter 2554: She’s Not Your Wife?!

"Infinite Great One!"

"Infinite Great One!"

...

Just as the crowd of humans present were filled with anxiety, a group from the Demon Race had already respectfully saluted the elderly man leading the eight newcomers.

For most of them, it was their first time seeing this elder.

However, although it was their first encounter with him, knowing the elder’s ’identity’ still involuntarily stirred deep feelings of reverence in them.

This elder, though a ’Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal,’ showed great courage by coming here today.

After all, he was not only facing Wyatt Barnes but also Wyatt’s formidable wife!

"Infinite Great One!"

"Infinite Great One!"

...

The respectful calls from the Demon Race entered the ears of the humans present, sounding exceptionally grating and causing their anxiety to heighten further...

After all, they were unsure if the Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal from the Demon Race would choose to go for broke and attack them!

"Wyatt Barnes is here!"

Just then, amidst the anxious crowd of humans, someone exclaimed.

Immediately, the humans’ eyes brightened as they looked around, trying to spot Wyatt Barnes.

"Over there!"

"I see him; it’s Wyatt Barnes!"

...

Soon, the humans saw:

From the west, two figures approached side by side through the air.

One of them was a young man dressed in purple, tall and handsome, quite familiar to them.

Indeed, more than ninety percent of them had seen this purple-clad youth’s portrait.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

The humans’ eyes locked onto the purple-clad youth, confirming his identity, revealing excitement.

"Is that Wyatt’s wife?"

"It must be! There’s only one woman beside him...who else could it be if not his wife?"

...

The humans quickly shifted their gaze to the graceful figure beside Wyatt, assuming it was the wife who could annihilate Nine Tribulations Loose Immortals effortlessly.

But, was the woman beside Wyatt his wife?

The answer was no.

Once, in an effortless motion, Wyatt’s wife ’Keer’ dispatched a Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal.

Now, however, Keer was no longer in the Holy Domain Plane, nor in any secular plane, not even in the myriad worlds.

Currently, Keer resides in the ’Divine Ruin Lands’ and won’t leave for another thousand years.

"I’ve heard from the Dragonsmith Clan that Wyatt’s wife is a peerless beauty...seeing her today, she truly lives up to her reputation!"

"Indeed, she’s a peerless beauty!"

"Such a beauty is matched only by a demon of Wyatt’s caliber!"

"At least, that’s the case in our Martial Dao Sacred Land’s Upper Domain."

...

The eyes of the crowd fell upon the woman beside Wyatt, mistakenly thinking she was Wyatt’s wife ’Keer.’

The woman beside Wyatt, though a peerless beauty with an exquisite face, was not his wife ’Keer.’

Rather, she was Lainey Don, a disciple of the Don Sect from the Yanhuang Plane, who returned with Wyatt.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Wyatt and Lainey Don walked side by side, quickly arriving near the humans and demons.

"Is he the ’Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal’ from the Demon Race?"

Upon arriving nearby, Wyatt’s gaze immediately fell on the leading figure among the eight hovering between the humans and demons, guessing his ’identity.’

Simultaneously, the whispered conversations confirmed Wyatt’s speculation further.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Soon, Wyatt and Lainey Don stood in the open area between the humans and demons, facing the eight led by the strongest of the Demon Race.

"Are you ’Wyatt Barnes’?"

The strongest of the Demon Race, the only ’Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal’ of the current era, never shifted his gaze from Wyatt upon his arrival.

Now, as Wyatt drew near, he couldn’t help but inquire for confirmation.

"Yes."

Faced with the elder’s inquiry, Wyatt nodded calmly.

"A month ago, you declared you wanted to challenge me...today, will you act yourself, or will your wife make the move?"

The elder bluntly asked while glancing at Lainey Don beside Wyatt.

Of course, he simply glanced once and retracted his gaze.

He feared lingering would provoke Wyatt’s wife’s wrath, leading to his death....

He knew his limits:

He was no match for Wyatt Barnes’ wife!

Before arriving, he had already discussed with the seven Eight Tribulations Loose Immortals from the Demon Race:

If today Wyatt Barnes himself were to fight him, then he would accept the challenge and engage Wyatt in combat, even if it resulted only in a draw...

However, if Wyatt’s wife were to make a move, he would immediately concede.

Furthermore, he promised to lead all the members of the Demon Race away from the Holy Domain Plane, back to the Exile Plane!

In this way, he could save his life and spare the Demon Race from disaster.

"My wife?"

Hearing the old man’s words, Wyatt Barnes was momentarily stunned.

At that moment, upon hearing the old man’s inquiry to Wyatt Barnes, the group of humans present, along with the group from the Demon Race, all focused their attention on Wyatt Barnes.

It seemed everyone wanted to know how Wyatt would respond to the old man.

The group of humans naturally hoped Wyatt would let his wife make the move.

The group from the Demon Race naturally hoped Wyatt would personally make the move.

"That seems... isn’t the Elder Brother Wyatt’s wife, right?"

Cody Yellow, a disciple from the Sacred Wander Palace of the Human Demon Clan, stood among the group of the Demon Race, looking at the black-clad woman beside Wyatt Barnes, unable to suppress his astonishment.

Just because he had seen Wyatt Barnes’ wife...

Wyatt Barnes’ wife was not of this visage.

This black-clad woman, though of breathtaking beauty, possessing a peerless visage, was indeed not much inferior to Wyatt Barnes’ wife...

But she was definitely not Wyatt Barnes’ wife!

"What... what’s going on?"

Cody Yellow was dumbfounded.

"This... this..."

Now, not only Wyatt Barnes but even the Sacred Wander Palace’s Palace Master, Vast Johnson, and others from the Human Demon Clan who had seen Wyatt Barnes’ wife, Keer, were all utterly confused, utterly unaware of what was happening.

The black-clad woman beside Wyatt Barnes was not the wife who killed the Dragonsmith Clan Chief!

Because they had all seen Wyatt Barnes’ wife.

"Your wife possesses the power to instantly kill a Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal with just a gesture... this fact is no secret in the present Holy Domain Plane."

The elderly man looked at Wyatt Barnes, speaking calmly: "If today you let your wife make a move, I know my limitations and will admit defeat... and lead my people of the Demon Race away from the Holy Domain Plane, back to the Exile Plane."

"And if you make the move, I will fight you... in the end, even if we end in a draw, I will still lead my people of the Demon Race away from the Holy Domain Plane, back to the Exile Plane."

"Of course, even in such a scenario... it is only out of respect for your wife."

The elder’s words revealed an underlying message:

Our Demon Race can leave the Holy Domain Plane and return to the Exile Plane, but it is out of respect for your wife, not for you, Wyatt Barnes!

"Hahahaha..."

However, hearing the old man’s words, Wyatt Barnes was first a bit stunned, but then he couldn’t help but laugh.

"Why are you laughing?"

The old man frowned.

"I’m laughing at you... for assuming anyone by my side to be my wife without ever seeing her."

Wyatt Barnes restrained his laughter and said blandly, "The one beside me is my friend, not my wife..."

"My wife has already left the secular plane... she can no longer intervene in matters of the Holy Domain Plane."

When Wyatt Barnes said this, his heart couldn’t help but ache slightly.

Keer...

Do we really have to wait for a thousand years before meeting again?

"What?!"

"She’s... not your wife?!"

Even the old man, a "Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal," couldn’t help but lose his composure upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, while immediately extending his Divine Sense to discover:

Lainey Don’s cultivation was only at the "half-step immortal" level.

"So, she’s indeed not your wife."

At this time, the old man confirmed it.

Previously, the old man had believed Lainey Don to be Wyatt Barnes’ wife capable of instantly killing a Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal, thus dared not use Divine Sense to probe her, fearing calamity.

Now, upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, he couldn’t help but extend his Divine Sense, confirming Wyatt Barnes’ statement.

"If your wife is indeed as you say, no longer in the secular plane and unable to intervene in the matters of the Holy Domain Plane... then just you alone may not be enough to defeat me, let alone drive our Demon Race out of the Holy Domain Plane!"

The old man squinted his eyes at Wyatt Barnes, seemingly wanting to confirm:

Was Wyatt Barnes lying to him just now?

"Are you so confident that you think I can’t defeat you?"

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Wyatt Barnes suddenly laughed again, radiant and bright.

Standing beside Wyatt Barnes, Lainey Don also couldn’t help but arch her lips into a mock smile, mocking the old man’s excessive arrogance!

"What?!"

"This black-clad woman... isn’t Wyatt Barnes’ wife?"

"How... how can this be? If she’s not his wife, who is she then?"

"If she’s not his wife, what is she doing here at this moment?"

...

The humans present had initially anticipated Wyatt Barnes’ wife to make her move, display her divine might, kill this Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal of the Demon Race, drive the Demon Race out of the Holy Domain Plane, or perhaps lead them to slaughter the Demon Race entirely!

And now, Wyatt Barnes claims:

The woman beside him is not his wife?
