"After all, the Immortal Lord level elder of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect who hunted me was dispatched by her..."
"And that person not only saw me but knows my name!"
"Having seen me, it wouldn’t be difficult to draw my portrait."
Considering this, and combining it with the way Sect Leader Milena Nangle is looking at him now, Wyatt Barnes easily deduces that she has recognized him!
"Just now, the killing intent in her eyes towards me was overwhelming, yet after looking at Annie Campbell for a while, it slightly subsided."
"I assume Annie Campbell has already told her about the previous incident."
"Learning that even Elder Ancestor Maximus Lee of the Joyous Zen Sect dare not act rashly against me, she naturally wouldn’t act hastily either... As the Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, she wouldn’t dare to take risks before confirming my identity completely."
"Because, if I indeed have the background of a prominent family in the Central Lands, her actions against me would surely bring disaster upon the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect!"
In the flashes of lightning and thunder, Wyatt Barnes, seeing Milena Nangle and Annie Campbell exchange glances, can easily predict this.
"Brother Leandro... is she the ’Sister Milana’ you mentioned to me before?"
At the same time, a timely transmission reached Wyatt Barnes’s ears.
It was precisely Leilany’s message.
"Yes."
Wyatt Barnes nodded, and following Leilany’s gaze, he looked again at Milana Harrington.
Milana Harrington deliberately avoided Leilany’s gaze.
"I still need to find a way to persuade her, to take her away... This Pill Dao Conference is an opportunity. Once missed, it’ll be difficult to find a similar chance again."
Looking at Milana Harrington, Wyatt Barnes made a silent decision in his heart.
"Uncle Master Ho, long time no see."
Simultaneously, the group from the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, led by Sect Leader Milena Nangle, approached the group from the Taiyi Immortal Sect and Thousand Arachnid Immortal Sect, greeting the Elder Ancestor of the Taiyi sect.
In terms of seniority, she had to address the Elder Ancestor of Taiyi as ’Uncle Master’.
"Young Nangle, we seem to have not met since you became the Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, right?"
The Elder Ancestor of Taiyi, looking at Milena Nangle, sighed.
He still remembered the last time seeing Milena Nangle, which was many years ago.
At that time, Milena Nangle was not yet the Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect.
Just a young girl.
In the blink of an eye, Milena Nangle not only surpassed him in cultivation but also became the new Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect!
"Yes, it has been some years... How has Uncle Master Ho been these years?"
Milena Nangle smiled slightly.
Her master had some friendship with the Elder Ancestor of Taiyi; though not deep, they were friends, so she showed him due respect.
Considering her present cultivation and status, even if she didn’t greet the Elder Ancestor of Taiyi, he would still have to greet her out of courtesy.
After all, this is a world that respects the powerful.
"Same as usual."
The Elder Ancestor of Taiyi responded promptly, not daring to be remiss.
Because he knew that with Milena Nangle’s current status, she had already given him face by greeting him and calling him ’Uncle Master’.
After all, although he had some friendship with Milena Nangle’s master, it was just a nod and acquaintance.
Even if Milena Nangle didn’t show him respect, he wouldn’t feel anything amiss.
And now that Milena Nangle gave him face, he naturally had to treat it with care.
"Uncle Master Nangle."
At this moment, Julie Simplicity, the Sect Leader of the Thousand Arachnid Immortal Sect, also took the initiative to greet Milena Nangle, calling her ’Uncle Master’ just like Annie Campbell.
Upon hearing Julie Simplicity’s greeting, Milena Nangle nodded to the Elder Ancestor of Taiyi, then shifted her gaze to Julie Simplicity.
"Julie, speaking of which, it’s been thirty years since we’ve seen each other... The last time seemed to be at the last Pill Dao Conference, right?"
Milena Nangle smiled and said.
"Yes... Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye. But despite these years, Uncle Master Nangle, your grace remains unchanged."
Julie Simplicity laughed.
The two Sect Leaders exchanged pleasantries for quite a while.
After finishing the pleasantries, Milena Nangle’s gaze finally fell on Wyatt Barnes, who smiled faintly and asked, "This should be the chief alchemist ’Alchemist Barnes’ of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, right?"
However, facing Milena Nangle’s inquiry, Wyatt Barnes’s lips curled with a hint of coldness at the right moment, "Sect Leader Nangle, you should have already guessed... I am the person you sent someone to hunt down in the past, correct?"
Though Milena Nangle had already deduced that the chief alchemist of the Taiyi Immortal Sect before her was indeed the same Wyatt Barnes she once tried to hunt down.
But she didn’t expect him to bring it up himself.
For a moment, she couldn’t help but be stunned.
Meanwhile, Milana Harrington’s face suddenly changed color in that instant.
"Why are you bringing this up? Are you seeking death?"
Milana Harrington transmitted a scolding inquiry to Wyatt Barnes, her tone filled with urgency, clearly showing concern for him.
"She has already recognized me... If not for you being her close friend, she would have already acted against me."
Wyatt Barnes responded to Milana Harrington via transmission, with a bright smile appearing on his face, looking at Milana Harrington, "Are you concerned about me?"
"I... I am not!"
Milana Harrington’s charming face beneath the veil flushed as she shifted her gaze from Wyatt Barnes to Annie Campbell, asking her via sound transmission.
"Pursuit?"
"Did the Sect Leader from the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect actually send people to hunt Alchemist Barnes?"
"This... Can it be true? With Alchemist Barnes’ lineage, how could the Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect dare to send someone to kill him? Does she not fear that the Crimson Heaven Barnes clan might destroy the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect in anger?"
...
As Wyatt Barnes’ words fell, everyone present was instantly taken aback.
Even the Elder Ancestor of the Taiyi Sect and the Sect Leader of the Thousand Spider Immortal Sect were stunned!
They never imagined:
That there existed such a feud between the Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect and Wyatt Barnes!
"Hmph!"
While everyone’s focus was on Wyatt Barnes and Milena Nangle, Wyatt Barnes snorted coldly at Milena Nangle and continued:
"Back then, if not for Milana Harrington, I wouldn’t have stopped my Crimson Heaven Barnes clan from killing that Immortal Lord elder of your Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect... You must know that when I stopped my Crimson Heaven Barnes clan from killing that old woman, I even wasted a Void Stealth Shadow Talisman!"
After his words fell, Wyatt Barnes was once again indifferent as he looked at the Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, his gaze frank and fearless.
Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Milena Nangle’s expression turned uncertain once more.
Previously, when Annie Campbell told her about Wyatt Barnes’ background, she pondered:
If Wyatt Barnes truly came from a powerful family from the Central Lands, then even if he’s here in the borderlands for training, he wouldn’t be without strong protection hidden in the shadows.
If that’s the case, why did Wyatt Barnes run when she sent people to kill him back then?
If he truly had such an astonishing background, surely there would be someone powerful hidden in the shadows protecting him, and upon seeing someone trying to kill him, that powerful individual would definitely intervene!
And now, Wyatt Barnes’ words undoubtedly solved the mystery in her heart.
"What he said isn’t impossible... Thus explaining why a person from such a remote place would possess a ’Void Stealth Shadow Talisman’ inscribed by an Immortal King!"
Milena Nangle thought to herself.
"If that’s truly the case, then I must thank Alchemist Barnes for his restraint."
Milena Nangle looked at Wyatt Barnes and said.
At the same time, she began to seriously scrutinize Wyatt Barnes, nodding secretly, "Indeed quite the talent..."
"Not yet a hundred years old, yet already a top-grade alchemy Immortal, capable of creating Rowan Heaven Pills, and a Mystic Realm Love Rowan Upper Immortal."
"Even without considering his background... he’s a match for Milana."
Though, except for Milena Nangle herself, no one knew of Milana Harrington’s connection to her, and that Milana was the biological daughter of her twin sister.
Still, she always considered herself Milana’s ’auntie’.
If there’s truly no way to kill Wyatt Barnes, she hopes more that her niece can find happiness.
"If you must thank someone, thank her."
Wyatt Barnes spoke while looking at Milana Harrington, his sharp gaze regarding Milena Nangle transformed into tender affection at this moment.
At that moment, Milana Harrington had already learned the ins and outs of the situation from her best friend Annie Campbell.
Sensing Wyatt Barnes’ gaze, she still couldn’t help but shy away slightly.
"Are you... really from a powerful family in the Central Lands?"
Though her gaze avoided Wyatt Barnes, Milana Harrington finally couldn’t help but ask via sound transmission.
Milana Harrington vividly remembered when she first saw the young man in purple, his abilities were pathetically weak.
Yet, in just a few years, his cultivation had already broken through, achieving the status of a ’Mystic Realm Love Rowan Upper Immortal’.
This left her deeply shaken!
More importantly, he is currently a top-grade alchemy Immortal capable of creating Rowan Heaven Pills!
Not yet a hundred years old and achieving such feats.
A presence like this, even across the entire South Heaven’s Borderlands, would be as rare as phoenix feathers, wouldn’t it?
"If I say I am... would you be willing to come with me?"
Wyatt Barnes’ gaze flickered, asking via sound transmission.
"I... I... I need to ask my master..."
Milana Harrington whispered, her head lowered, replying via sound transmission.
If back then, at their first meeting, Milana Harrington’s attitude towards Wyatt Barnes was condescending.
Now, Wyatt Barnes had grown to where he could stand on equal footing with Milana Harrington, even looking down on her.
Though, his cultivation was still somewhat lacking compared to Milana Harrington.
Yet, he has another layer of identity:
One capable of creating Rowan Heaven Pills as a top-grade alchemy Immortal!
This identity is something Milana Harrington must now look up to.
"Your master?"
Upon hearing Milana Harrington’s words, Wyatt Barnes frowned, asked solemnly, "But what if she insists on you atoning with your life?"
"Then I’ll atone with my life!"
Milana Harrington’s tone was resolute, as if she completely disregarded life and death.
