"You... truly are indescribably loyal!"
Hearing Milana Harrington’s response, Wyatt Barnes felt a sense of helplessness, and he did not directly respond to Milana’s question about whether he came from a powerful family in the central land.
On one hand, he didn’t want to deceive Milana.
On the other hand, he didn’t want to tell Milana that he wasn’t from a powerful family in the central land, because if he spoke the truth, Milana would surely lose all hope for the matter between the two of them!
Although Milana was still somewhat cold to him.
Yet, he could clearly see Milana’s concern for him.
In the past, he only learned about Milana’s concern from Annie Campbell, but now he could distinctly feel Milana’s concern for him.
This woman clearly wasn’t completely untouched by emotions towards him.
"Pretty boy!"
At that moment, a somewhat familiar voice reached Wyatt Barnes’s ears, and hearing this moniker, his eyes fell upon the green figure beside Milana Harrington.
The owner of this green figure was a young girl clad in green.
She was none other than ’Alisson’ from the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, Milana Harrington’s junior apprentice sister.
"If you are a man, you should take responsibility for my third sister and take her away from the southeastern six regions, to the central land, back to your family... If you don’t take her away, when we return to the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, her loss of innocence will not be able to be concealed from our master for long."
Alisson’s voice echoed in Wyatt Barnes’s ears, heavy with seriousness, "With our master’s temperament, once she knows that third sister has lost innocence and is thus unqualified for the position of our next sect leader, she will surely execute third sister, clearing the door!"
"A long time ago, another one of my sisters was executed by my master for the same reason."
Towards the end, Alisson’s tone trembled slightly, clearly very worried about Milana Harrington’s safety.
Since childhood, the time she spent with her third sister, Milana Harrington, was much more than the time she spent with her master.
Therefore, to a certain extent, she had long considered her third sister her real sister, so she naturally did not wish any harm upon her third sister.
"If you’re willing to take third sister away... I won’t just stop calling you a pretty boy, I’ll even call you ’brother-in-law’!"
Alisson said finally, betraying a sense of compromise.
A compromise with Wyatt Barnes.
"Your third sister would be very happy to know you care for her like this."
Even though Alisson’s words seemed childish, Wyatt Barnes knew they were heartfelt; she genuinely wanted the best for her third sister, "I just told her I wanted to take her away, but she refused..."
"She said she would ask her master. If her master doesn’t let her leave, she won’t leave... If her master wants her to end the matter between us by death, she will accept death as atonement!"
As Alisson was saying Wyatt had to take responsibility for Milana Harrington, Wyatt Barnes had guessed it:
Alisson must already know about the situation between him and Milana Harrington.
He could be certain that the last time he saw Alisson, she didn’t know about it; it was likely only recently uncovered.
Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s voice transmission, Alisson fell silent.
Her gaze shifted from Wyatt Barnes to Milana Harrington beside her, with evident helplessness.
This was precisely her third sister’s character.
"Julie..."
A moment later, Milena Nangle from the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect hailed Julie Simplicity from the Thousand Spider Immortal Sect, and soon the two led their sects’ people away from the clearing, leaving the area to the members of the Tai Yi Immortal Sect.
"Alchemist Barnes, did Milena Nangle truly send people to hunt you down?"
After the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect and Thousand Spider Immortal Sect left, Tai Yi’s Elder Ancestor immediately looked at Wyatt Barnes and asked.
At the same time, Hunter Swayer, Russel Yorke, and Joshua Davies all glanced at Wyatt Barnes, their eyes filled with curiosity, clearly wanting to understand the situation...
Did the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect leader, Milena Nangle, really send people to hunt Alchemist Barnes?
If she did send people to hunt Alchemist Barnes, what was the reason?
"Yes."
Wyatt Barnes nodded.
"Why?"
Tai Yi’s Elder Ancestor asked again.
"Because... with me around, Milana Harrington will never be able to take on the position of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s next sect leader!"
Wyatt Barnes gazed towards the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect members already on the other side of the Pill Tao Plaza, and stated bluntly.
"With you around, Milana Harrington will never be able to take on the position of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s next sect leader?"
Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Tai Yi’s Elder Ancestor was initially stunned, and then couldn’t help but ask, "Why?"
Although Tai Yi’s Elder Ancestor hadn’t traveled far in a long time.
This did not prevent him from understanding the situation within the southeastern six regions, and some matters among the top sects...
Among them was the fact that Milana Harrington was a popular candidate for the next sect leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect.
Moreover, Tai Yi’s Elder Ancestor had even heard:
Ninety percent or more of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect high-level officials wanted Milana Harrington to take on the role of the next sect leader.
It could be said, barring any unexpected events, Milana Harrington’s ascension to become the next sect leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect was practically guaranteed.
And now, Wyatt Barnes said:
With him here, Milana Harrington cannot assume the position of Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s next Sect Leader?
For a moment, he was somewhat unable to react.
"Because... Milana Harrington is my woman!"
Wyatt Barnes said calmly, "And the Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect cannot have a man."
As soon as Wyatt Barnes said this, the people from Tai Yi sect, etc., were stunned for a moment, and then a few instinctively glanced at Leilany beside Wyatt Barnes, only to see her face calm, seemingly indifferent about Wyatt having Milana as his woman.
"So... she thinks that after killing you, Milana will have to obediently take over as the next Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect?"
Currently, the Elder Ancestor of Tai Yi was not considering the possibility that Wyatt Barnes and Milana Harrington had consummated their marriage.
He merely thought that Milana and Wyatt had privately agreed on spending their lives together, and as long as Wyatt was still alive in this world, Milana could not become the next Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect.
Facing the Elder Ancestor’s inquiry, Wyatt Barnes remained silent.
What could he say?
Should he tell the Elder Ancestor that he and Milana Harrington were already married, and regardless of whether Sect Leader Milena Nangle sent people to kill him, Milana could never become the next Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect?
However, as Wyatt was silent, the Elder Ancestor assumed he was tacitly agreeing.
"The people from the Xianshi Alliance have arrived!"
Suddenly, Hunter Swayer looked at the stone platform in the center of the Pill Tao Square and exclaimed just in time.
Immediately, Wyatt Barnes and the others’ gazes also uniformly turned towards the direction of the stone platform.
They saw eight figures, divided into four groups, descending in the sky in succession.
The first group to land on the stone platform was a middle-aged man and an elderly man; the middle-aged man was dressed like a scholar, holding a folding fan, with features as handsome as jade, which made it clear he was certainly a handsome man in his younger years.
While the elderly man had cloudy eyes, a blank expression, and wore a plain gray robe, appearing no different from an ordinary old man.
Yet, upon his appearance, numerous people near the stone platform surrounded him with respect and saluted:
"Alchemist Colby!"
"Alchemist Colby!"
...
The majority of the surrounding individuals were alchemists clad in Immortal robes, including top-grade alchemists from various major sects in the southeast six territories. Wyatt Barnes also noticed several familiar faces among them.
The top-grade alchemists Wyatt was familiar with were exactly those top-grade alchemists from the Dragon Warrior sect and Thousand Spiders sect he had seen before.
After they left here, they went to the side close to the stone platform.
When the elderly man appeared, they were the first to pay their respects.
"This gray-robed old man, named ’Kexuan,’ is a top-grade alchemist of the Xianshi Alliance... although he is only the lowest grade among the top-grade alchemists, a ’Monarch Grade Alchemist,’ he holds a very high status within the Xianshi Alliance, and within the southeast six territories, his status is even higher."
While Wyatt was looking at the gray-robed elderly man, the voice of the Elder Ancestor rang out timely in Wyatt’s ear:
"The middle-aged man with him is a ’Jiugong Immortal Lord,’ his name is known by few... usually the Alchemist Colby calls him ’Little Ho,’ so many people speculate that his surname is Ho."
...
As the other three groups descended onto the stone platform, Wyatt’s ears were once again filled by the voice of the Elder Ancestor.
Among the other three groups, each had a top-grade alchemist, all of whom were of the lowest grade among the top-grade alchemists, the ’Monarch Grade Alchemists,’ and the people beside them were there to protect them.
Notably, one of the Monarch Grade Alchemists had someone beside him who looked exactly like him, as the two were a pair of twin brothers.
Furthermore, the twin brother of this Monarch Grade Alchemist was a ’Shifang Immortal Lord’!
"Alchemist Chapman!"
"Alchemist Chapman!"
...
Initially, several top-grade alchemists prioritized greeting the Monarch Grade Alchemist, who was the older brother among the twin brothers.
But within moments, their voices were overwhelmed by voices resembling a tidal wave:
"Hawk Chapman!"
"Hawk Chapman!"
...
Now, most people before the stone platform were saluting the younger brother among the twin brothers.
Not for any other reason, but because he was a ’Shifang Immortal Lord’!
And the Shifang Immortal Lord, is presently the mightiest existence within the southeast six territories, and even in border regions!
"Shawn Chapman, Hawk Chapman..."
At present, Wyatt’s gaze was also fixed on the twin brothers, whose names he had heard mentioned by the Elder Ancestor earlier.
The older brother, the Monarch Grade Alchemist, was named ’Shawn Chapman.’
The younger brother, the Shifang Immortal Lord, was named ’Hawk Chapman.’
