Legend of Wyatt

Hearing Walter Morin’s threat, Wyatt Barnes remained indifferent.

It wasn’t the first time he had been threatened. If he was afraid of a single person’s threat, he wouldn’t have made it to where he was today.

However, what Walter Morin did today taught him a lesson...

That is:

Unless your value can surpass others, in the face of interests, your life can at any time become a sacrificial piece.

Earlier, the murderous look in Elliott Lester’s eyes made him aware that keeping Elliott Lester was always a hidden threat.

But proposing that Walter Morin kill Elliott Lester was actually just him intentionally making things difficult for Walter Morin because he thought Walter would never do it.

If Walter Morin killed Elliott Lester because of his words, not only would Walter’s reputation be tarnished, but even that of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect would suffer...

Today, your sect can sacrifice a Sacrificial Officer for benefits.

In the future, it will naturally do the same.

If Walter Morin killed Elliott Lester because of his request, it would be challenging for the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect to recruit other Sacrificial Officers in the future, as they’d all worry about becoming a sacrificial piece for the sect’s interests.

However, what he didn’t expect was that Walter Morin actually did kill Elliott Lester.

Moreover, before killing Elliott Lester, there was a deliberate ’setup’.

As for the reason for Walter’s setup, Wyatt Barnes could easily guess:

It was simply because he was worried that Elliott Lester would trigger the Top-grade Immortal Fire within him, so he reassured Elliott Lester before making his move, to lower Elliott’s guard, and then killed him with a soul attack with lightning speed!

After all, the power of a Top-grade Alchemist detonating the Top-grade Immortal Fire is immense, and even someone as strong as Walter Morin, at such proximity, would stand no chance of surviving.

"With Walter Morin’s ruthlessness... even if I were to switch allegiance to the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect today, I wouldn’t be safe from being betrayed by him for other profits in the future."

Wyatt Barnes was very clear on this.

Furthermore, from beginning to end, Wyatt Barnes never really intended to leave the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect and switch allegiance to another sect in the Southeast Six Domain because Wyatt Barnes was not an opportunist.

Since he joined the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, as long as the sect did him no wrong, he wouldn’t easily leave and align with another sect.

"Have they left?"

"The Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect really has some guts... to adhere to their rules and kill a Top-grade Alchemist like Elliott Lester! He’s a Top-grade Alchemist, after all!"

"How do I feel that things might not be so simple? Perhaps, he did it because of Alchemist Barnes? But that doesn’t seem likely... If he killed Alchemist Lester truly because of Alchemist Barnes, he wouldn’t have left alone, and he certainly wouldn’t have congratulated Elder Ancestor of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect."

"That said, he does indeed have some guts!"

...

Because the message that Walter Morin sent to Wyatt Barnes after killing Elliott Lester was not heard by the onlookers.

So now, most people, in their discussions, think that Walter Morin is courageous, executing a Top-grade Alchemist Sacrificial Officer according to the rules of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect!

For this reason, Walter Morin and the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s reputation won’t suffer, but rather, it shows that Walter and the sect are impartial, meting out punishment even to their Top-grade Alchemist Sacrificial Officer.

This is not something any sect in the Southeast Six Domain can mirror.

In the history of the Southeast Six Domain, the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect is definitely the first sect with such boldness!

Although, among those present, many felt Elliott Lester didn’t deserve to die, their opinions were like mere ripples in the ocean, unable to stir up any storm.

"Alchemist Barnes... that Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, Walter Morin, must have transmitted a message asking you to join their sect after he killed Elliott Lester, right?"

The Elder Ancestor of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, being an elder of the sect, having seen grand waves and storms, could discern Walter Morin’s true ’purpose’ in killing Elliott Lester.

He even had some worries that when Walter Morin killed Elliott Lester, Wyatt Barnes might switch allegiance to the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect.

However, when Walter Morin left with a facade of calm yet genuinely frustrated, it was clear:

Walter didn’t achieve his desire.

"Elder Ancestor, you guessed it?"

Hearing from the Elder Ancestor, Wyatt Barnes responded with a casual smile, transmitting, "He did try to transmit a message asking me to join the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, saying he killed Elliott Lester based on my request..."

"But, I asked him to publicly admit that he killed Elliott Lester because of my request; only if he admitted it would I switch allegiance... He did not agree. So, we parted ways."

Wyatt Barnes said through transmission.

"How could he admit that... Although, Alchemist Barnes, you can refine the Rowan Heaven Pill as a Top-grade Alchemist, to Walter Morin, you are still less important than his reputation and the sect’s reputation."

The Elder Ancestor seemed in a very good mood now, transmitting with a laugh.

Soon after, the Elder Ancestor said, "However, Alchemist Barnes, what happened today, Walter Morin will inevitably hold you accountable for everything... You and he, the enmity is now irreparable."

"Before leaving, he transmitted to me... that between him and I, it is irreconcilable."

Wyatt Barnes transmitted.

"Irreconcilable?"

The Elder Ancestor of Taiyi transmitted his voice with a snort, "It’s just the death of a top-grade alchemist. He’s acting as if his parents have died... Although he is the Sect Leader of the Fuyang Immortal Sect, if he wants to disadvantage Alchemist Barnes, he must first get past me and Taiyi Immortal Sect!"

The Elder Ancestor of Taiyi’s words, towards the end, evidently had components meant to reassure Wyatt Barnes.

"Alchemist Barnes, from today until we return to Taiyi Immortal Sect... you must not leave my side."

After saying the previous sentence, the Elder Ancestor of Taiyi added an extra sentence.

"Hmm."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

After returning to their temporary residence, the group from Qi Leaf Immortal Sect did not disperse but gathered together in the courtyard where their Sect Master ’Tobi Sinclair’ resides.

"Sect Leader, regarding today’s matter, I cannot shirk my responsibility... I request Sect Leader’s punishment!"

As soon as they arrived, Tahir Thomsen took the initiative to admit fault to Tobi Sinclair.

"Deputy Sect Master Thomsen, today’s matter is not your fault."

However, facing Tahir Thomsen’s admission of guilt, Tobi Sinclair shook his head, "Agreeing to his gambling promise did not affect the major situation... If it weren’t for my own carelessness later, our Qi Leaf Immortal Sect would not have lost that Monarch Level Divine Ability."

"No one expected... that Wyatt Barnes, a mere youth under a hundred years old, would already be a top-grade alchemist, and even able to refine a Rowan Heaven Pill!"

As he continued, Tobi Sinclair squinted his eyes, repeatedly sighing.

"Indeed, no one expected that under a hundred years old, he would already be a top-grade alchemist capable of refining a Rowan Heaven Pill."

Seeing that his Sect Leader didn’t intend to blame him, Tahir Thomsen let out a sigh of relief while repeatedly agreeing with Tobi Sinclair, the Sect Leader of Qi Leaf Immortal Sect.

"Today’s incident taught us not to underestimate anyone... there are heavens beyond heavens, people beyond people!"

Tobi Sinclair continued.

"Sect Leader."

Suddenly, Tahir Thomsen seemed to have thought of something, his eyes gleaming, "Why don’t we recruit Wyatt Barnes to our Qi Leaf Immortal Sect? Our Qi Leaf Immortal Sect’s strength is much stronger than the Taiyi Immortal Sect."

"And the benefits we can offer him are definitely more than what Taiyi Immortal Sect can offer."

As Tahir Thomsen continued, his eyes lit up, as if he discovered a ’new continent’.

As soon as Tahir Thomsen finished speaking, the expression of his disciple Kami Duran behind him couldn’t help but change.

Previously, he had offended Wyatt Barnes.

If Wyatt Barnes stays at Taiyi Immortal Sect, that’s good, but if he transfers to their Qi Leaf Immortal Sect, upon seeing him again, it’s inevitable he won’t harbor thoughts of revenge...

By then, if Wyatt Barnes really wants to take revenge on him, not to mention his master wouldn’t protect him, he might even personally hand him over to Wyatt Barnes to deal with.

Regarding his master’s temperament, he is well aware.

For the sake of the Sect, he would do anything, even be willing to sacrifice himself, let alone a direct disciple like him.

"Deputy Sect Master Thomsen, do you think... that Alchemist Barnes joined Taiyi Immortal Sect because of the benefits offered by Taiyi Immortal Sect?"

Unlike Tahir Thomsen’s excitement, hearing Tahir Thomsen’s words, Tobi Sinclair remained calm, "Do you think, if Alchemist Barnes joined for benefits, he would choose Taiyi Immortal Sect?"

"As a top-grade alchemist capable of refining a Rowan Heaven Pill, if he wishes, even the Celestial Heaven Immortal Sect, recognized as the number one sect in the Southeastern Six Domains, would treat him as a Guest of Honor!"

Tobi Sinclair said.

"Therefore, trying to poach him is almost impossible."

Compared to Tahir Thomsen and even the Sect Leader of the Fuyang Immortal Sect, Walter Morin, Tobi Sinclair was evidently much more rational.

Hearing this, Tahir Thomsen immediately fell silent.

It seemed to make sense.

And following Tahir Thomsen, Kami Duran couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief, secretly feeling fortunate.

...

The residence where the people of Five Zhu Immortal Sect were staying.

With the events outside the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s shop coming to an end and the crowd dispersing, the ’conclusion’ of the matter spread like a hurricane throughout Pill Tao City and reached the ears of the Five Zhu Immortal Sect group.

"He... he really can refine Rowan Heaven Pill!"

"Sister Annie... you guessed right!"

After confirming with several people, Alisson, a disciple of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect who had been waiting at the residence of the Five Zhu Immortal Sect, was unable to stop herself from widening her eyes and looking at Annie Campbell with disbelief.

"Indeed."

Although Annie Campbell believed her guess couldn’t be wrong, when fact confirmed her speculation, she couldn’t help but be a bit shocked.

That under-a-hundred-year-old young man in purple was truly a top-grade alchemist capable of refining a Rowan Heaven Pill!
