Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1566: Not a Saint Refiner

Of course, although Wyatt Barnes thought this way, he didn’t dare to be certain.

In this world of weak meat strong food, even biological father and son can become enemies, let alone merely a nephew.

"However, the head of the Swayer Family truly is generous... A four-star Divine Travel Talisman, and a four-star Golden Shield Talisman. Even I can’t help but be tempted."

Indeed, Wyatt Barnes is now very tempted.

A three-star Divine Travel Talisman can allow the user to possess the speed of someone at the brink of Entering the Saint Realm for a quarter of an hour.

A three-star Golden Shield Talisman can also let the user possess the defense of someone at the brink of Entering the Saint Realm for a quarter of an hour.

A four-star Divine Travel Talisman and a four-star Golden Shield Talisman, once used, undoubtedly grant speed and defense comparable to Saint Realm powerhouses.

Although Wyatt Barnes’s current strength is formidable, to kill even the weakest class of Saint Realm powerhouses, he must use the ’Splendid Fairy Sword’ to succeed, and the price to pay is high; it’s like killing one thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of one’s own.

As for speed, even if he uses the ’Flying Sword’ conjured from his Thousand Sword Domain, it would merely chase the speed of Saint Realm powerhouses, yet still lacking compared to them.

"I’ve just arrived at the Capital City of Fletcher Kingdom, unfamiliar with the territory... perhaps this is my opportunity, an opportunity to temporarily settle in the Capital City of Fletcher Kingdom."

Thinking of this, Wyatt Barnes is even more tempted.

He has just come to the Capital City of Fletcher Kingdom; whether it’s to find Trevor Baillie or to investigate the forces behind Karina Hanson, he undoubtedly needs connections.

But currently, he has no connections at all.

The incident of the Swayer Family’s Young Master being possessed actually gives Wyatt Barnes an opportunity.

Now, Wyatt Barnes is eighty percent sure that the Swayer Family’s Young Master is indeed afflicted by a demonic mark, resulting in ’possessed’ symptoms.

The demonic mark is introduced in the jade slip that records the ’art of strange markings’, along with methods to break them.

Additionally, according to the two middle-aged men, the demonic marking on the Swayer Family’s Young Master doesn’t seem to be a very notable demonic mark.

However, even if it’s not a significant demonic mark, without knowledge of the method to break it, even a nine-star Saint Refiner might be unable to undo it.

"A black mark shaped like a spider... is it possibly a ’Dark Spider Demonic Mark’?"

Wyatt Barnes murmured softly.

In the jade slip containing the art of strange markings, there is also information on some common demonic marks and ways to break them.

The Dark Spider Demonic Mark happens to be recorded, as a kind of ’one-star demonic mark’, belonging to the most rudimentary category.

Of course, if Wyatt Barnes had not mastered the ’art of strange markings’, he wouldn’t have carefully looked at the information at the end of the jade slip, nor would he know of the existence of demonic marks.

Wyatt Barnes is certain that although Trevor Baillie also looked at the information within that jade slip, he definitely didn’t notice the demonic marks.

Because the information about demonic marks isn’t eye-catching among the plethora of information within that jade slip, if one doesn’t grasp the basics of strange markings recorded at the beginning, most wouldn’t look at the mound of complex information at the end, considering it a waste of time.

If Wyatt Barnes hadn’t mastered the art of strange markings, he’s certain he would have missed the records concerning ’demonic marks’ at the end.

"I’d better go and take a look at the Swayer Family... however, if it can be confirmed that the emperor of Fletcher Kingdom truly wants to kill the Swayer Family Young Master, I should avoid getting involved in this murky water. I’ve just arrived at the Capital City of Fletcher Kingdom, and haven’t accomplished what I ought to do; it’s not wise to offend the emperor of Fletcher Kingdom then."

After a brief meal and settling the bill, Wyatt Barnes walked out of the tavern, calculating in his mind.

After inquiring about the location of the Swayer Family, Wyatt Barnes headed towards the Swayer Family.

As one of the largest families in the Capital City of Fletcher Kingdom, second only to the Imperial Family, the Swayer Family’s residence is exceedingly grand, with a vast area, not much smaller than the Moon Radiance Sect’s premises.

It’s known that the premises of Moon Radiance Sect is in the barren wilderness.

While the Swayer Family’s residence is situated in the pricey lands of the Capital City of Fletcher Kingdom.

Because the ’grade-six Holy Stone mineral vein’ controlled by the Imperial Family of Fletcher Kingdom lies beneath the palace of Fletcher Kingdom’s Capital City, the entire capital’s cultivation environment is superb... coupled with the Swayer Family having a ’grade-seven Holy Stone mineral vein’ under their residence, the combination results in the Swayer Family’s cultivation environment far surpassing that of the Moon Radiance Sect.

At the entrance of the Swayer Family, upon learning Wyatt Barnes’s purpose, a member of the Swayer Family immediately went to report inside.

Moments later, an elderly man appeared, with the reporting Swayer Family officer following behind him.

The elderly man’s appearance was ordinary, but a shrewd glimmer flashed between his eyes, indicating he was not a simple character.

"Are you confident?"

As soon as the elderly man came out, he didn’t say anything else but stared directly into Wyatt Barnes’s eyes, seemingly wanting to assess Wyatt’s confidence.

Without a change in his expression or gaze, Wyatt Barnes simply said flatly, "Rather than ask me about my confidence here, why not take me inside to see your Young Master... shouldn’t you adopt the attitude of ’a dying horse could be treated like a living horse’ now?"

Upon Wyatt’s words, the elderly man’s face darkened, "Did you just compare my Young Master to a ’horse’?"

Instantly, the Swayer Family members’ faces turned hostile, closely eyeing Wyatt Barnes, like they would attack him upon the elderly man’s command.

"It seems the Swayer Family isn’t that desperate after all... very well, let’s pretend I never came."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, turning away to leave.

However, just as Wyatt turned around, the elderly man blocked his path, coldly stating, "Insult my Young Master, and you think you can just walk away? Do you really think the Swayer Family is without anyone to stop you?"

"Scram!"

Wyatt Barnes furrowed his brow, a word slowly escaping his lips.

Just when Wyatt Barnes thought the elderly man would burst out and make a move, an unexpected scene unfolded.

"Please."

Not only did the elderly man not burst out, he even stepped aside and respectfully invited Wyatt into the Swayer Family estate.

This scene caused Wyatt to pause momentarily.

Are these Swayer Family people inherently foolish? They won’t give up unless they use force?

"Sir, I apologize for my earlier rudeness... I just wanted to confirm if you truly have genuine skills. After all, our Young Master’s condition is not good, and he can no longer withstand more torment."

Seemingly noticing Wyatt’s confusion, the elder’s gaze darkened, and he sighed.

"Now, have you confirmed that I have genuine skills?"

Wyatt looked at the elder with a half-smile.

"With the confidence you displayed, sir, it’s already worth inviting you in for a try... As you said, our Young Master’s condition can only be addressed by treating a dying horse as if it were a living one."

The elder continued.

"Lead the way."

Upon hearing the elder’s words, Wyatt found it amusing, but he no longer wore a stern face and replied lightly.

As the saying goes, ’One does not strike smiling faces,’ and since the other party was now so sincere, he couldn’t possibly turn away.

Moreover, if he wanted to establish himself in the Capital City of Fletcher Kingdom, the Swayer Family was indeed his best choice at the moment.

Upon entering the Swayer Family estate, the scenery that greeted him was impressive enough to make Wyatt’s eyes light up.

No wonder it’s a prominent family in the Capital City of Fletcher Kingdom; the layout of the front courtyard was indeed refreshing. The arrangements of the other estates Wyatt had visited were all not as good as this Swayer Family.

Along the way, Wyatt also discovered the elder’s identity.

The elder was the steward of the Swayer Family’s outer estate.

Although the elder brought him into the Swayer Family, Wyatt could see that the elder had little hope that he could cure the Swayer family’s Young Master. It was mostly just going through the motions.

As for the scene outside the estate earlier, in Wyatt’s estimation, it must have been a ’test’ set up by the Swayer Family.

People without confidence had no reason to come in and try.

This was the Swayer Family’s attitude.

Accompanied by the elder, Wyatt passed through the front courtyard of the Swayer Family, walked down a long corridor, and finally stopped at a spacious gate at the corridor’s end.

At the gate, both Wyatt and the elder were stopped.

"Not surprising for a prominent family in Fletcher Kingdom, their vigilance is truly intense."

Wyatt secretly remarked; he knew that even the outer estate steward who brought him in was blocked so ruthlessly.

"This gentleman is here to see the Young Master... send someone to escort the gentleman to meet ’Steward Ellis.’

At this moment, the elder handed Wyatt over to the Swayer Family disciples guarding the inner estate gates, then said to Wyatt, "Sir, beyond this gate is our Swayer Family’s ’inner estate.’ They will send someone to take you to meet our inner estate steward, ’Steward Ellis,’ who will take you to see the Young Master."

"Mm."

Wyatt nodded and then followed a Swayer Family disciple into the inner estate.

Upon entering the inner estate, Wyatt was again amazed.

The inner estate’s arrangement, compared to the front courtyard and the entire outer estate of the Swayer Family, was even more captivating, making one feel refreshed at a glance.

Soon, Wyatt met the so-called inner estate steward, ’Steward Ellis,’ a beautiful woman who appeared to be in her thirties or forties. Although her appearance was not as stunning as Wyatt’s two fiancées, her graceful figure naturally exuded an alluring charm, drawing people to her unconsciously.

Upon learning Wyatt’s purpose, the beautiful woman gave him a few more glances and slightly furrowed her brows almost imperceptibly.

Although in the Martial Dao Sacred Land, one cannot determine a person’s true age by appearance alone, Wyatt’s youthful and handsome appearance still gave an impression of ’young and inexperienced.’

Wyatt naturally noticed the woman’s reaction and guessed her thoughts but wasn’t bothered by it; he nodded and gave her a slight smile.

"Follow me."

She said casually, then took the lead.

The sway of her graceful figure made Wyatt, who was following behind her, unconsciously glance more times, not because Wyatt was particularly lecherous, but because it was a man’s nature.

"How many stars as a Saint Refiner are you?"

On the way, the beautiful woman asked casually.

"I’m not a Saint Refiner."

Wyatt shook his head in response.

And it was this response that made the beautiful woman stop, turn around, and look at him with an unhappy expression, "You’re not a Saint Refiner? Then what are you doing here?"
