Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 2171: Wyatt Barnes Returns
"Sister, where is he now? How is he doing?"
Keer took a deep breath to suppress the excitement rising in her heart and immediately looked at Paisley Flores, eagerly transmitting her voice to ask.
"Purple said... the last time he appeared was in ’Sin City’."
Paisley Flores relayed the words of the purple-clad girl to Keer, "Three years ago, he entered..."
What she said now was the very ’news’ that had spread throughout the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.
As for the matter of Wyatt Barnes killing the Golden Lion King of the Mysterious Buddha Sect, ’Steve Simpson’, even Paisley Flores herself found it absurd, so she didn’t mention it to Keer and only told her other things.
"After going through great dangers, fortune will surely follow... so you don’t need to worry too much."
After Paisley finished, she consoled at the right time.
"A trap set by three half-step immortal-level demon cultivators? And he was the only one who made it out alive?"
Upon learning what her man went through, Keer’s pretty face instantly turned pale with fright. Although she wasn’t by his side, she could imagine the myriad of hardships he must have endured.
In an instant, Keer’s heart ached, pained for the man she cherished dearly!
"Young Master..."
Unknowingly, Keer’s eyes were already filled with tears.
...
In the West Region, hovering above a mountain range not far from the Fire Worship Sect’s base.
A tall, purple figure stood proudly.
This was a very young man, tall and dressed in a purple robe. His appearance was handsome, with sword-like brows and bright starry eyes, exuding an aura that made people feel like they were basking in a spring breeze.
His elegant demeanor stood there, making everything around him seem dim in comparison.
"I didn’t expect... that the Fire Worship Sect Leader not only emerged from seclusion but also reached the ’Ninth Transformation of the Holy Immortal’!"
Suddenly, the young man muttered to himself, "Fortunately, even though he’s out of seclusion, he hasn’t given orders to deal with Keer and her daughter... However, I still need to find a way to rescue them! Leaving them in the Fire Worship Sect makes one uneasy."
From this young man’s whispers, his identity became apparent:
It was Wyatt Barnes, who had returned from Sin City in the middle territory!
On his way back, Wyatt Barnes also learned about the Fire Worship Sect Leader’s emergence from seclusion and his advancement to the ’Ninth Transformation of the Holy Immortal’, becoming the fourth ’Ninth Transformation Expert’ in the Martial Dao Sacred Land.
After learning this, his heart sank, intensely worried about the safety of Keer and her daughter.
At this point, he rushed back to the vicinity of the Fire Worship Sect’s base. After some investigation, he learned that the Fire Worship Sect Leader had not yet taken any actions against Keer and her daughter, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
While relieved, he hid outside the Fire Worship Sect’s base, ready to seize any opportunity to enter the Fire Worship Sect and rescue Keer and her daughter.
"With my current strength, even if I fully activate the immortal treasure ’Splendid Fairy Sword,’ it’s still impossible to be a match for the Fire Worship Sect Leader... I must find the perfect opportunity to rescue Keer and her daughter!"
Wyatt Barnes mused.
He knew very well his current strength.
If he used all his means, fully activating the ’Splendid Fairy Sword,’ he had the confidence to kill an ’Eighth Transformation Expert of the Holy Immortal’!
But against a ’Ninth Transformation Expert of the Holy Immortal,’ he was powerless.
"Do I really need to enter the fourth level of the Jewel Tower again... and spend a year or two to break through to the ’Seventh Transformation of the Holy Immortal’?"
Murmuring to himself, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
The year or two referred to the time outside.
After a year or two, who could guarantee that the Fire Worship Sect Leader wouldn’t take action against Keer and her daughter?
Wyatt Barnes dared not ’gamble.’
If he lost, if anything happened to Keer and her daughter, he would never forgive himself!
Just as Wyatt Barnes exhausted his ingenuity and still couldn’t figure out a plan to rescue Keer and her daughter from under the Fire Worship Sect Leader’s watchful eyes:
A ’statement’ came out from within the Fire Worship Sect’s base.
This statement was personally issued by the Fire Worship Sect Leader, ’Lofty Don.’
The statement’s content was:
As the Fire Worship Sect Leader, ’Lofty Don’ invited the Fire Worship Sect’s outstanding disciple who was out wandering, ’Wyatt Barnes,’ to return and promised that the Fire Worship Sect members would not have any designs on the super sacred artifact ’Demon Sealing Monument’ in his possession! 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
If Wyatt Barnes wasn’t reassured, he could hide the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ outside and return alone.
Then, the Fire Worship Sect Leader ’Lofty Don’ was willing to make a Thunder Punishment Oath to certify his promise to Wyatt Barnes!
In summary, when this ’statement’ was first issued, it not only shocked those around the Fire Worship Sect’s base, but even the elders and disciples within the Fire Worship Sect were all astounded.
"The Sect Leader, in order to bring Wyatt Barnes back... did not hesitate to issue such a ’statement’? Unbelievable! Unbelievable!!"
"It’s said that the Sect Leader cherishes talent like his own life; today, I’ve witnessed it firsthand."
"With this ’declaration’ issued by the Sect Leader, it seems very likely that Wyatt Barnes will return... Once he returns, the ranking on the True Inheritance List will surely change once again. He will definitely be ’first’ on the True Inheritance List!"
"That’s for sure! Three years ago, Wyatt Barnes killed the elder ’Cade Simpson’ of the Mysterious Buddha Sect; his strength was already not below that of the current number one on the True Inheritance List. Now, three years have passed, and with his talent, his strength must have become even more extraordinary than three years ago!"
"I truly look forward to Wyatt Barnes returning... Since he left, our Fire Worship Sect has been like a stagnant pool, far less lively than when Wyatt was here."
...
As the members of the Fire Worship Sect discussed, a group of disciples were also very joyful, and most were hoping that ’Wyatt Barnes’ could return.
"Is there a chance Wyatt Barnes will come back?"
"Will Wyatt Barnes be able to return?"
Including Reuben Willow and Kori Willow, many disciples of the Fire Worship Sect, who had a good relationship with Wyatt Barnes, were quite excited after hearing about their Sect Leader’s declaration.
"Why would the Sect Leader issue such a declaration?!"
As the saying goes, ’Some rejoice, while others worry.’ After learning about the declaration from the Sect Leader, Bruce, the personal disciple and eldest apprentice of the Azure Dragon Altar’s leader, had an extremely unpleasant expression.
And the face of the Azure Dragon Altar leader, Kaisen Wright, wasn’t much better.
Though he wanted to get his hands on the ’super artifact’ in Wyatt Barnes’s possession, since their Sect Leader had made such a promise to Wyatt Barnes, he didn’t dare to covet the super artifact, no matter how many guts he had.
"Damnit! How could the Sect Leader be so foolish?!"
In the Enforcement Hall, Fore Reid, an elder, had a drastic change in expression after hearing the sect leader’s declaration.
"Wyatt Barnes!!"
And Fore Reid’s father, Johnny Reid, the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, squinted his eyes subconsciously, a chilling gleam flashing across them upon learning this news.
Outside the Fire Worship Sect’s territory.
"The Fire Worship Sect Leader... he has quite the ’meticulous plan’!"
After learning about the declaration issued by Sect Leader Lofty Don, Wyatt Barnes could not help but let out a cold laugh.
The promise made by Lofty Don was indeed without issue.
However, although Lofty Don seemed to be eager to seek talent and protect him,
he was well aware:
The reason Lofty Don acted this way was likely eight or nine out of ten due to the super artifact ’Demon Sealing Monument’ in his possession, which was precisely effective against the Demon Race.
Once the Demon Race invades the Upper Domain, if the Fire Worship Sect has the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ to rely on, it is bound to hold an advantage.
At critical moments, Lofty Don could even borrow the Demon Sealing Monument from him to deal with powerful members of the Demon Race!
And he couldn’t refuse at all.
"For Lofty Don, as long as the Demon Race is repelled... the value of the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ in his eyes is not even as high as a ’Thousand Pattern Sacred Artifact’!"
This fact was crystal clear in Wyatt Barnes’s mind.
When it comes to someone of Lofty Don’s level, if the opponent wasn’t a Demon Race powerhouse, the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ wouldn’t be of much use.
As for facing Demon Cultivators from Martial Dao Sacred Land, with his overwhelming strength, why would he even need the ’Demon Sealing Monument’?
"If I had another super artifact at my disposal, such as the ’Traceless Sword’ or the ’Nine Heavens Sword’... he probably wouldn’t be so kind hearted!"
Wyatt Barnes mused inwardly.
And Wyatt Barnes indeed guessed correctly.
If Wyatt Barnes had another offensive super artifact besides ’Demon Sealing Monument’, such as the ’Traceless Sword’ or the ’Nine Heavens Sword’... the Fire Worship Sect Leader ’Lofty Don’ would certainly not have issued that declaration!
Because, whether it’s the ’Traceless Sword’ or the ’Nine Heavens Sword’, even Lofty Don would be tempted by them.
"In that case... I shall return to the Fire Worship Sect, and have a meeting with that Sect Leader!"
With a flash of brilliance in his eyes, Wyatt Barnes made this decision inwardly.
He felt it unnecessary to hide the super artifact ’Demon Sealing Monument’ outside.
After all, he believed Lofty Don certainly wouldn’t dare to make a direct move against him, nor would he dare to bet that the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ is on him!
Moreover, although Wyatt Barnes’s cultivation was far lesser than Lofty Don’s, as someone beyond the Saint Immortal Realm, he was immune to any ’Soul Searching Secret Technique’, so he was not worried that the Fire Worship Sect Leader might use such a technique on him.
"Fire Worship Sect... I’m back!"
Three days later, Wyatt Barnes flew across the sky, directly entering the Fire Worship Sect’s territory.
He passed boldly over the ’White Tiger Altar’, located on the eastern side of the Fire Worship Sect’s grounds, without bothering to conceal his figure, completely different from how he had sneaked out of the Fire Worship Sect years ago.
The reason for such a contrast was:
The strength he possessed now was incomparable to what it was in the past!
