Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1618: Do you know the ’Demon Sealing Monument’?

Chapter 1618: Chapter 1618: Do you know the ’Demon Sealing Monument’?

When recalling past events, the old man’s gaze became somewhat wistful.

Back then, when King Archer was on a hunting expedition, he was attacked by assassins. Because the strong men around King Archer were occupied dealing with strong adversaries among the assassins, not many people were left by his side, and he, as the coachman, happened to be there.

An assassin charged at King Archer with a sword.

In that instant, he intervened in time and blocked the sword aimed at King Archer, saving his life.

Soon after, the strong men returned from killing other assassins and killed the one who had attacked King Archer.

At the time, he was seriously injured and on the brink of death.

However, thanks to King Archer’s attention, the fourth-grade Saint Refiner from the Imperial Family of Fletcher Kingdom intervened and brought him back from Hell Gate.

At that time, King Archer summoned him and made a promise, pledging to fulfill one request within his capacity, regardless of what it was.

At the time, he merely expressed gratitude and didn’t take the promise to heart.

After the assassination attempt on King Archer, having just recovered from his severe injuries, he felt some fear because he knew the Fourth Highness ’King Archer’ had ambitions for the throne and would likely face similar assassination attempts in the future.

With only one life to consider, he wished to protect himself.

In such circumstances, he resigned from King Archer’s service, left the capital city of Fletcher Kingdom, and settled in the southern border area, where he later formed a bandit gang and lived rather comfortably.

Before he left, King Archer had told him that his promise would always remain valid.

He had thought he would never need to use that promise, but unexpectedly, his Third Brother was killed by a mysterious adversary... Only upon realizing that he might not be a match for this mysterious adversary did he recall the promise made to him by Fourth Highness ’King Archer’ years ago.

Because of this, he decided to return to the capital and use the promise King Archer had made.

Unfortunately, his luck was poor, and though he entered King Archer’s mansion, he was informed that King Archer was in seclusion, leaving him to wait in the guest room of the side hall.

He waited until today when King Archer finally emerged from seclusion, learned of his arrival, and sent someone to summon him.

Led by a middle-aged man, the old man quickly arrived at the main hall of King Archer’s mansion.

At the entrance to the main hall stood ten soldiers, straight-backed and clad in armor. They had stern expressions and eyes like daggers, creating an intangible sense of oppression.

"Your Highness, Moody Nicholson has been brought."

The middle-aged man stood outside the main hall and respectfully announced to those inside.

"Nicholson is here? Bring him in."

Simultaneously, hearty laughter emerged from inside the main hall. The laughter sounded amicable, but the old man, who was ’Moody Nicholson,’ knew well that this was an absolute hero.

His courtesy towards him was partly due to gratitude for saving his life in the past, but mainly for show before others.

After all, King Archer didn’t want anyone to think he was someone who failed to repay kindness.

Entering the main hall, after many years had passed, Moody Nicholson once again saw Fourth Highness ’King Archer,’ only to find that King Archer was no longer the young man of the past; now he possessed an invisible authority.

The authority was so strong it brought him some pressure.

Moody Nicholson couldn’t help but sigh at how quickly time had passed; in the blink of an eye, so many years had gone by.

"Greetings, Fourth Prince."

After entering, Moody Nicholson directly knelt to perform a courtesy, extremely humble.

"You are the savior of my life, Nicholson; what’s the need for such a grand courtesy? Quickly, rise."

The Fourth Prince, ’King Archer,’ was a middle-aged man in a golden robe, with a kind expression but eyes that conveyed power without anger. With a raised hand, an invisible force extended, lifting Moody Nicholson upright.

Feeling this force, Moody Nicholson couldn’t help but be shocked.

The Fourth Prince, even if he wasn’t in the Saint Realm, was likely on the verge of being a ’half-step Saint Realm’!

As someone who had left King Archer’s mansion, he did have some insight into this.

"Thank you, Fourth Prince."

After being lifted up, Moody Nicholson expressed his gratitude respectfully.

"Nicholson, I’ve heard you returned this time for some assistance from me?"

King Archer smiled as he asked.

"Yes."

Moody Nicholson nodded, "I came here specifically to ask for your assistance, Fourth Prince... After this matter is settled, I assure you I won’t trouble you again."

"Nicholson, you are too polite; you are my savior. Back then, I promised I’d fulfill a request within my power... Over the years, you never returned, and I thought you might have forgotten that promise. Now it seems you haven’t forgotten after all."

King Archer continued to smile, "Go ahead, tell me, what assistance do you need this time?"

"Fourth Prince, I want you to help me eliminate someone."

Moody Nicholson took a deep breath and spoke after a moment.

"Oh?"

King Archer’s eyes flashed as he nodded, "As long as I’m able to eliminate him, I will not refuse... Tell me, who is he?"

"Actually, I don’t know who he is."

Moody Nicholson said with a wry smile.

Upon hearing this, King Archer’s brows furrowed immediately, a hint of displeasure flashing deep within his eyes.

"Ridiculous!!"

At this moment, two old men standing behind King Archer and the middle-aged man beside Moody Nicholson suddenly shouted.

From the two old men, strong and irresistible auras suddenly extended, sweeping over Moody Nicholson, causing his body to tremble momentarily.

This powerful aura made Moody Nicholson almost suffocate.

In that instant, Moody Nicholson could also confirm that these two elders were Saint Realm experts.

As King Archer raised his hand, the two elders retracted the powerful aura emanating from them.

"Moody, even you don’t know who he is, so how do you expect me to help you?"

King Archer looked at Moody Nicholson and asked, the smile on his face somewhat subdued.

"Fourth Prince, it’s my fault, I didn’t finish in one breath... Although I don’t know who that person is, I have his portrait in my hand. Moreover, I know he came to the Capital City some time ago."

Moody Nicholson, wiping cold sweat secretly, hastily added.

"Some time ago?"

King Archer frowned, "So, you don’t know if that person is still in the Capital City?"

"Yes."

Moody Nicholson nodded, but quickly continued: "Fourth Prince, if that person is still in the Capital City, I wish to ask you to eliminate him for me, because he killed someone very important to me... If we find he is no longer in the Capital City, then it’s simply my bad luck, and I will never trouble you, Fourth Prince, again."

It must be said, Moody Nicholson’s words carried a certain finesse of ’retreating to advance.’

"In that case, leave that person’s portrait, return to the guest room in the side hall, and wait for good news... I will certainly handle this matter with utmost effort, for no other reason than to repay the life-saving grace you once gave me."

King Archer said.

"Yes."

After leaving the portrait, Moody Nicholson was led away by the middle-aged man who had brought him.

Meanwhile, King Archer opened the portrait in his hand, only to find it depicted a handsome young man with sword-like brows and starry eyes.

"Moody Nicholson really is regressing more and more... To use the promise I made to him back then for such a young man!"

Of course, these words were spoken in King Archer’s mind.

"Fourth Prince, someone outside claims to be the Sect Leader of the Netherworld Sect."

Just as King Archer was putting away the portrait, the voice of the guarding soldier came from outside.

"Sect Leader of the Netherworld Sect, ’Hemingway Wood’, seeks an audience with the Fourth Prince!"

At the same time, a powerful voice came from outside, imbued with True Origin, and in a moment, it reached the main hall.

"It’s a ’Saint Realm expert’."

At this time, the two elders behind King Archer exchanged a glance, nodded, and said to King Archer.

Because the voice contained the ’True Origin’ unique to Saint Realm experts, just by hearing it, they could discern it was a Saint Realm expert’s voice.

"Sect Leader of the Netherworld Sect? Why is he here?"

King Archer raised his eyebrows, murmuring curiously, then stood up and walked out, smiling as he went: "Sect Leader Hemingway Wood’s visit to my King Archer’s residence truly brings it great honor."

A Saint Realm expert already has the qualification for him to personally go out to greet.

When King Archer went out, the two elders who followed him also shadowed closely, following him outside.

"Fourth Prince."

Outside the main hall, the travel-worn Hemingway Wood bowed to King Archer, with a few traces of exhaustion clearly on his face.

"Sect Leader Hemingway Wood, this is..."

Seeing Hemingway Wood’s currently haggard appearance, King Archer couldn’t help but be startled.

He had seen the Sect Leader of the Netherworld Sect once before, but that time, the other was full of spirit; this time, he looked more like a vagabond.

"It’s a long story. Fourth Prince, let’s discuss it inside."

Hemingway Wood sighed.

"Alright."

King Archer nodded, then invited Hemingway Wood into the main hall, returned to his seat, and invited Hemingway Wood to sit below him.

"Sect Leader Hemingway Wood, you, as the Sect Leader of the Netherworld Sect, are so immensely prosperous, how did you end up in such a sorry state?"

King Archer looked at Hemingway Wood and curiously asked.

"Fourth Prince, I’ll explain that shortly... Before that, I have a question for you."

Hemingway Wood looked at King Archer.

"What question?"

King Archer was quite curious.

"Fourth Prince, do you know the ’Demon Sealing Monument’?"

Hemingway Wood straightened his face, looking earnestly at King Archer.

Demon Sealing Monument!

Upon hearing Hemingway Wood’s words, not only King Archer but even the two elders behind him both changed their expressions.

When it comes to the ’Demon Sealing Monument,’ they naturally are not strangers.

Indeed, throughout the entire Martial Dao Sacred Land, these are three words that resound like thunder.

The Demon Sealing Monument, one of the top ten super sacred artifacts on the ’Top Ten Sacred Artifact List,’ is an absolute nightmare for demon cultivators!
