Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 2197: The Overbearing Fire Worship Sect Leader
The voice of Elder Long from the Mysterious Buddha Sect was icy cold, making everyone present feel as though the harsh winter had arrived.
"Before, I could only flee using my ’Divine Ability’ in front of Elder Long... Now, I want to confront Elder Long head-on and see how much difference there still is between us!"
Facing the angry and fierce gaze of Elder Long, the Fire Worship Sect Leader, Lofty Don, spoke at a calm and unhurried pace.
His words conveyed one clear message:
He does not fear a battle with Elder Long!
In the past, when his cultivation was at the ’Saint Immortal Eighth Transformation’, he had faced Elder Long from the Mysterious Buddha Sect multiple times, but each time he could only flee, as he was no match for Elder Long!
By relying on a method taught by that figure as powerful as a ’Divine Being’, which allowed for a rapid escape, even though his cultivation was only at the Saint Immortal Eighth Transformation, if he wished to leave, not even a Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation could stop him!
In recent years, with that ability, he had intimidated the Mysterious Buddha Sect and the Heavenly Shaman Sect, keeping them at bay from rashly attacking the Fire Worship Sect.
Otherwise, the Fire Worship Sect, without any reliance on a ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’ before, would have long been wiped out by the Mysterious Buddha Sect and Heavenly Shaman Sect!
"This..."
Lofty Don’s strong stance not only startled the two Great Dharma Kings, Sect Leader, and two Vice Sect Leaders of the Mysterious Buddha Sect, but even the five Protectors of the Fire Worship Sect, including Wyatt Barnes, were somewhat bewildered.
None of them expected their Sect Leader to be so direct and assertive, challenging the Supreme Elder of the Mysterious Buddha Sect to a duel!
Couldn’t he be more tactful?
They could only dream of knowing:
Lofty Don was so assertive and straightforward entirely because of the divine-like figure he encountered decades ago!
Until he confirmed that Wyatt Barnes was not the ’man’ found by their sect’s Saintess in the Lower Domain, he dared not let anything happen to Wyatt!
If it was later confirmed that Wyatt was that man, and he died, when that divine-like entity descended upon this mortal plane again, wishing to kill Wyatt personally but found no opportunity, he would surely be furious!
With the power of that figure, in his wrath, not only would Lofty Don die without a doubt, but even the Fire Worship Sect would suffer the consequences.
For this reason, faced with Elder Long from the Mysterious Buddha Sect who wanted to kill Wyatt, Lofty Don was incredibly assertive, willing to fight Elder Long!
When his cultivation was at the ’Saint Immortal Eighth Transformation’, he did not fear Elder Long.
Let alone now!
After breaking through to the ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’, deep down, he had a strong desire to confront Elder Long head-on!
In the past, encountering Elder Long, he could only flee for his life, which was extremely frustrating.
Now, however, he had the strength to face Elder Long directly!
Of course, if not for that divine-like figure, even if he wanted to fight Elder Long, he wouldn’t be so direct and assertive.
The reason he was so direct and assertive was entirely due to his soul-deep ’fear’ of that figure!
"Could this Wyatt Barnes be the Sect Leader’s ’illegitimate son’?"
Just as Elder Long was caught off guard by Lofty Don’s assertiveness, a thought couldn’t help but arise in the minds of several others from the Mysterious Buddha Sect.
If Wyatt Barnes was not the illegitimate son of the Fire Worship Sect Leader, would he protect him so blindly and irrationally? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
The super sacred artifact, ’Demon Sealing Monument’, was undoubtedly precious, but was it enough to make him turn hostile so recklessly?
Not only the few from the Mysterious Buddha Sect, but also the other four Protectors of the Fire Worship Sect besides Wyatt, had similar thoughts.
However, they were also certain:
Wyatt Barnes had no blood relation to their Sect Leader!
"This Fire Worship Sect Leader is overly protective of me, isn’t he? Moreover, sometimes it seems too much..."
Even Wyatt Barnes himself, while feeling flattered, was somewhat bewildered.
What did he do to deserve the Fire Worship Sect Leader turning against the second strongest in the Martial Dao Sacred Land, Elder Long, for him?
"Good, good... good!!"
After coming to his senses, Elder Long said ’good’ several times, each time with heavier emphasis, clearly angered by Lofty Don.
However, Lofty Don was willing to tear faces with him, but Elder Long wasn’t about to go crazy with Lofty Don.
The Lofty Don of the past was one thing.
The current Lofty Don, being the same ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’ as he was, was incredibly strong, perhaps not as strong as him, but certainly not far off either.
Moreover, with Lofty Don’s bizarre and mysterious ’Divine Ability’ related to movement, he was already in an undefeated position.
Fighting with Lofty Don would yield no benefits.
Therefore, without necessity, he preferred not to fight Lofty Don!
"Lofty Don."
Taking a deep breath, Elder Long slightly suppressed his anger and solemnly said to Lofty Don, "Lofty Don, I know how much you value the super sacred artifact ’Demon Sealing Monument’ in Wyatt Barnes’ possession. Moreover, it’s possible that the monument is not on him, but hidden elsewhere by him."
"However, today, if you’re willing to hand Wyatt Barnes over to me... I, Elder Long, Supreme Elder of the Mysterious Buddha Sect, am willing to swear a ’Thunder Punishment Oath’ to give you a promise!"
"In the future, no matter who obtains the Demon Sealing Monument, I will do my utmost to retrieve it for you and place it into your hands!"
"And if the monument is on him, upon killing him, I will immediately hand the Demon Sealing Monument over to you!"
Upon hearing Elder Long’s words, it was clear he believed that Lofty Don was protecting Wyatt solely because of the super sacred artifact ’Demon Sealing Monument’ in Wyatt’s possession.
In that case, he wouldn’t take the Demon Sealing Monument!
He was even willing to swear a Thunder Punishment Oath to promise the monument to Lofty Don.
He only wanted Wyatt Barnes’ life!
Miss Langford saying this is, to some extent, making a compromise, giving herself a way out.
"Could it be that the Supreme Elder of the Mysterious Buddha Sect, Miss Langford, is giving in?"
Wyatt Barnes was astonished.
He thought Miss Langford, faced with their Fire Worship Sect Leader’s assertiveness, would be enraged enough to fight, but to his surprise, she chose to compromise.
However, upon thinking it over, he felt relieved.
A powerhouse at the ’Ninth Transformation of the Saint Immortal’ level, once engaged in a fight, would surely cause a tumultuous upheaval.
Plus, given the Sect Leader’s mastery of the Divine Ability recognized as the number one body technique in Martial Dao Sacred Land, even in a battle against Miss Langford, he would remain undefeated.
Miss Langford’s apprehension is understandable.
Although others could comprehend Miss Langford’s compromise, they still felt a tremor in their hearts.
As Miss Langford’s words fell silent, everyone’s gaze shifted to Lofty Don.
Miss Langford has already compromised.
Will Lofty Don accept it?
Even Wyatt Barnes felt uncertain, unsure whether Lofty Don would compromise.
If he were Lofty Don, he would very likely choose to compromise too.
However, the reaction that Lofty Don showed next, his response to Miss Langford, left everyone, including Wyatt, bewildered.
"Whether or not Wyatt possesses the super sacred artifact, the Demon Sealing Monument, I will never hand him over to you today!!"
That was Lofty Don’s original statement.
Although spoken plainly, his words carried an undeniable tone!
Suddenly, the entire venue fell silent.
"Sect Leader..."
Simultaneously stunned by Lofty Don’s words, Wyatt looked at him, feeling shaken and a bit moved.
After all, for Lofty Don to do this much for him was truly exceptional.
Even a heart of stone might be touched and moved, right?
Of course, that’s also because Wyatt was unaware of Lofty Don’s inner thoughts. Otherwise, he wouldn’t feel moved, but rather worried...
Only because Lofty Don had started to suspect he is the man the Fire Worship Sect’s Saintess found in the Lower Domain!
"Lofty Don!!"
After a brief moment of silence, Miss Langford finally snapped back and roared in anger right away.
Her voice was like thunder, resounding to the heavens and making the surrounding void seemingly tremble.
This roar, filled with dense Saint Origin, once spread, swept across the entire Fire Worship Sect stronghold.
First and foremost was the ’White Tiger Altar’ closest to this place.
"Lofty Don!!"
"Lofty Don!!"
...
As Miss Langford’s roar reached the White Tiger Altar, it echoed continuously inside, leaving a resonant sound.
The Saint Origin within the roar exploded, and even its remaining power burst the eardrums of most disciples with lower cultivation levels in the White Tiger Altar, causing them to bleed from their seven orifices.
Some were directly knocked unconscious by this single roar.
"What’s going on? Isn’t that the voice of the Mysterious Buddha Sect Supreme Elder, Miss Langford?"
"She seems really angry... Is she really going to fight with our Sect Leader?"
"Gosh! Is this the power of a Ninth Transformation Saint Immortal ranked ’second’ on the Extreme Saint Ranking? Just one roar while outside our Fire Worship Sect territory caused so many of our White Tiger Altar disciples to bleed from their seven orifices, and some were knocked unconscious."
"Terrifying! So terrifying!!"
...
Inside the White Tiger Altar, a wave of panic erupted instinctively.
In other places, although not as severe as the White Tiger Altar, most couldn’t help but shiver from the cold upon hearing Miss Langford’s roar, feeling extremely apprehensive.
"Brother Wyatt..."
The two brothers from the Willow Family had somehow gathered together, and hearing this roar from the Mysterious Buddha Sect Supreme Elder, grew increasingly worried for Wyatt Barnes.
"That’s right... You must kill Wyatt Barnes, Supreme Elder of the Mysterious Buddha Sect!"
Staying at her place, Emma Wenston clenched her fists, her eyes glinting with malice as she muttered to herself.
"Wyatt Barnes, this time you cannot escape your doom!"
In the residence of the head of the Azure Dragon Altar, Bruce’s face displayed satisfaction as if he already envisioned Wyatt Barnes being killed.
Outside the Fire Worship Sect stronghold.
"Could it be that Wyatt Barnes is the illegitimate child of this Fire Worship Sect Leader?"
Standing behind Miss Langford, some people from the Mysterious Buddha Sect couldn’t help but speculate once again.
