Chapter 2587: Chapter 2587: A Remarkable Woman

After asking all the questions he wanted, Wyatt Barnes finally let the waiter leave.

After the waiter left, the private room instantly became exceptionally quiet.

Now, even if you dropped a needle on the ground, perhaps you could hear the clear sound of it landing...

"According to the waiter: In the vicinity of Bloodshade City, the best cultivation environments are only found at the City Lord’s Mansion, Black Dragon Army camp, and Army of Silver Sea Dragon camp."

Wyatt sat at the table, seemingly calm, but his heart was not at peace.

"That means... around Bloodshade City, if I want a good cultivation environment, I can only go to these three places!"

"However, I just arrived at Spiritual Heaven and killed that Army of Silver Sea Dragon centurion... That Silver Sea Dragon camp certainly won’t welcome me. Now, besides the few who want me dead, most of them probably want to obtain the Divine Ability I possess and the methods granted by the Supreme Heart Sword, which is akin to Immortal Methods."

Wyatt thought to himself.

While Wyatt was contemplating in the private room of the tavern, the Army of Silver Sea Dragon camp was anything but peaceful.

"JohnAshton Chapman... was killed by an ’Red Moon Heavenly Immortal’ level ascender?"

As one of the ten Centurions in the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, Noel Yorke was stunned after hearing the report from the centurion Merni Ferguson about the incident at the Ascension Pool under their responsibility today.

A newly ascended person from a secular realm, just an ’Red Moon Heavenly Immortal,’ had forcibly killed one of their Army of Silver Sea Dragon centurions in front of a centurion and eight centurions?

"Yes."

Seeing Noel Yorke’s apparent disbelief, Merni Ferguson quickly responded, adding, "Commander-in-Chief, everything I said was witnessed personally... If you don’t believe me, you can summon the eight centurions present at the scene to verify it."

Merni Ferguson was one of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon centurions Wyatt previously met at the Ascension Pool—the silver-haired middle-aged Silver Sea Dragon centurion.

And now standing in front of Merni Ferguson, with a resolute face, tall stature, and commanding presence, was none other than the direct superior of Merni Ferguson and the youth-like Army of Silver Sea Dragon centurion JohnAshton Chapman, who had been killed:

The Army of Silver Sea Dragon Centurion, Noel Yorke!

In the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, there are only ten Centurions, and each one is a Golden Immortal-level powerhouse, unmatched by any Heavenly Immortal.

"Merni Ferguson, you’ve been under my command for years, how could I doubt your words? I’m just shocked and need further confirmation from you."

Noel Yorke’s eyes flashed sharply as he muttered, "So... this ascender who just arrived in Spiritual Heaven must have obtained some transcendent inheritance in the secular realm."

"Not only possessing a soul-protecting Immortal Artifact... but also mastering extremely advanced Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities!"

Saying this, deep in Noel Yorke’s eyes, a flicker of desire and greed was unmistakable.

Despite being a first-class Golden Immortal powerhouse himself, having cultivated advanced Immortal Methods and comprehended advanced Divine Abilities, those methods and abilities still were only slightly stronger than the most basic ones in the heavenly realms.

They couldn’t compare with the Immortal Methods possessed by the ascender Merni Ferguson described!

"Moreover... you said earlier: that the ascender could forcibly seize the Immortal Artifact from you? And throughout the ordeal... you could do nothing but watch as your Immortal Artifact was taken away?"

Noel Yorke queried again.

"Yes."

Recalling the scenes from earlier, Merni Ferguson’s heart still palpitated with fear.

"This ascender... is remarkable!"

Noel Yorke’s gaze flashed, then turned to Merni Ferguson, saying solemnly, "Merni Ferguson, keep those eight centurions in check, don’t let them spread any news about the ascender... I will report this personally to the Commander-in-Chief now!"

Leaving this remark behind, without waiting for Merni Ferguson’s response, Noel Yorke departed.

...

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes was naturally unaware of what was happening at the Army of Silver Sea Dragon camp.

He just left the tavern and was strolling down the streets of Bloodshade City.

Despite the bustle and noise surrounding him, Wyatt seemed oblivious, lost in his own thoughts as he wandered aimlessly...

Like a shell without a soul.

"City Lord’s Mansion... Black Dragon Army camp..."

Wyatt’s soul seemed missing as he walked down the streets, contemplating ways to enter the Bloodshade City Lord’s Mansion or the Black Dragon Army camp.

Unconsciously, Wyatt found himself on the main boulevard of Bloodshade City.

This main boulevard was incredibly spacious, bustling with carriages and pedestrians...

Naturally, it was more noisy.

On the main boulevard of Bloodshade City—or Central Avenue—Wyatt, walking like a soul-lost person, went unnoticed by most people; few even spared him a glance.

The rare few who occasionally looked his way were young girls, and after a quick glance, shyly retracted their gaze, not daring to look more.

Suddenly.

"Hmm?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Originally wandering like a lost soul on Bloodshade City’s Central Avenue, Wyatt abruptly stopped, seemingly sensing something.

And the reason he did so was because the surrounding noise and clamor vanished without a trace in an instant!

It’s as if everyone around was choked and couldn’t make any sound.

He clearly saw a dense crowd within his field of vision.

But at this moment, the atmosphere on site became eerily quiet.

"They... seem to be looking behind?"

Stopping in his tracks, when his gaze fell on the crowd ahead who also halted, Wyatt Barnes discovered:

Their gazes were fixed behind him.

"What exactly... made them unable to utter a word?"

Curious, Wyatt Barnes also turned around, the sound of the wind rushing through his robes was clearly audible in this strangely quiet environment.

The moment he turned, when Wyatt’s eyes fell upon a graceful figure, a few traces of amazement involuntarily surfaced in the depths of his gaze, and he sincerely expressed admiration in his heart:

"What a beautiful woman!"

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes also realized the reason the entire street quieted down, no longer noisy:

It was all because of the woman in front of them.

The woman was dressed in a light purple plain dress, her brows like emerald feathers, skin like white snow, waist like a bundle of silk.

Though her cheeks were covered with a layer of thin veil, her slightly cool autumn eyes and her fresh and elegant aura were enough to overshadow everything around her.

Moreover, her cheeks were obscured by the veil.

Yet, because the veil was semi-transparent, her flawless facial contours beneath the veil were faintly visible.

Making one itch to lift the veil and glimpse the beauty hidden beneath.

Imagine, if the cheeks hidden by a veil are already this charming.

If the veil were removed and her cheeks liberated, what a breathtaking beauty she would reveal...

The woman took small lotus steps, wherever she passed, the crowd silently made way for her.

At this moment, on this street, regardless of gender, everyone’s gaze was fixated on this woman.

As if there was some special magic about her.

Under normal circumstances, seeing such a peerless beauty, there would surely be quite a few men with wicked thoughts.

Yet now, none of the men present showed any inappropriate expressions, each looking at her with eyes that contained no less than short-lived amazement followed by devotion...

As though she was some sacred being, exalted beyond defilement.

Only Wyatt Barnes, after the amazement passed in his eyes, turned away and continued on his journey.

"Hmm?"

Originally walking down the street with cold gaze, indifferent to everything around, the woman, in the moment Wyatt turned to leave, had her gaze subtly affected, glancing at Wyatt.

But only for a brief instant.

"In this remote city... there is someone unaffected by my practiced methods?"

In the instant the woman’s gaze swept over Wyatt’s back, a ripple emerged in her heart...

Yet, as her gaze turned cold once again, the ripple in her heart instantly calmed.

"This woman... is not ordinary!"

And as Wyatt Barnes continued forward, his expression turned incredibly solemn and his mood grew heavy:

"The reason she could quiet an entire street and draw everyone’s attention wasn’t solely due to her beauty and aura, but more because of the invisible aura emanating from her presence."

"Fortunately, my soul is protected by the ’damaged iron piece’... otherwise, I too would be affected by that aura."

"That aura is akin to a soul attack, yet not a soul attack... because it lacks any offensiveness, merely temporarily influencing people’s consciousness by infecting their souls, plunging them into a dazed state."

Continuing forward for a while, Wyatt Barnes switched routes, finally relaxing his tense emotions and exhaled deeply.

The woman in the purple plain dress gave him a very dangerous feeling...

At least, for now, he was by no means her match.

"Have you heard? A Centurion from the Black Dragon Army died..."

"I’ve heard. Apparently, a Centurion from the Black Dragon Army died in the mountain range on the south side near our Bloodshade City, suspected to have accidentally entered into the ’Small World’ regarded as forbidden by our Bloodshade City for generations."

"Today, the Black Dragon Army camp released a message: Whoever can bring back the identity token of their deceased Centurion can replace the deceased in becoming the new Centurion!"

...

The conversation between two people passing by Wyatt Barnes reached his ears clearly.
