Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2889: Responsibility

So, Wyatt Barnes just thought that it wasn’t Beckham Ho from the Tycoon Sect who killed the Junior Sect Master of the Celestial Sect, Preston Buckingham; it was someone else.

But now, upon learning that Preston Buckingham isn’t dead, his first thought is:

This is all a ploy of the Celestial Sect.

The Junior Sect Master of the Celestial Sect, Preston Buckingham, feigned his death, allowing the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect, Infinite Buckingham, to exploit his son’s fake death to attack Beckham Ho, killing him!

Beckham Ho was deliberately murdered by people from the Celestial Sect!

Upon discovering all this, Wyatt Barnes’s anger arose, and he couldn’t help but feel indignant for Beckham Ho...

"Sect Leader."

When Wyatt Barnes saw the Sect Leader of the Tycoon Sect, Daven Buckingham, he noticed that Daven Buckingham’s eyes were bloodshot, with waves of Immortal Origin Force surging around him, evidencing his immense fury.

Hunter Swayer had called Wyatt Barnes over to calm Daven Buckingham.

Upon learning that Beckham Ho from the Tycoon Sect had been deliberately murdered by people from the Celestial Sect, Daven Buckingham was immensely furious, even wanting to storm the Celestial Sect for an explanation!

It was Cain Iron, Hunter Swayer, and others who persuaded him otherwise.

"Alchemist Barnes."

Upon seeing Wyatt Barnes, a lot of the anger on Daven Buckingham’s face dissipated, and the restless Immortal Origin Force around him also completely calmed down.

"I know everything."

Wyatt Barnes said, "The Elder Ancestor... was deliberately murdered by the Celestial Sect!"

"But... Sect Leader, why would the Celestial Sect want to murder the Elder Ancestor? Did the Elder Ancestor have any prior conflicts with them?"

Later, Wyatt Barnes asked again.

In Wyatt Barnes’s eyes:

The Celestial Sect, as they had so meticulously murdered the Tycoon Sect’s Elder Ancestor, there must have been some irreconcilable conflict between them; otherwise, they wouldn’t go to such lengths.

"No."

Daven Buckingham shook his head, "The Elder Ancestor has always had no interactions with the Celestial Sect... nor had any conflicts or disputes with anyone from the Celestial Sect."

"Alchemist Barnes, I’ve asked the Sect Leader this."

Beside him, Hunter Swayer looked at Wyatt Barnes and said, "The Elder Ancestor’s only conflict with the Celestial Sect was probably when we went to the Desolate Domain’s Pill Tao City to participate in the Pill Tao conference last time."

"That time, we had a conflict with the Junior Sect Master Preston Buckingham of the Celestial Sect, remember?"

"According to the Sect Leader, before that incident, the Elder Ancestor never had any disputes with the Celestial Sect."

Hunter Swayer said.

"Alchemist Swayer, do you mean... it was precisely because of that conflict that the Celestial Sect harbored murderous intentions towards the Elder Ancestor and meticulously plotted against him?"

Hearing Hunter Swayer’s words, Wyatt Barnes’s pupils shrank suddenly.

If that were true, then he also bears some responsibility for this matter.

After all, it wasn’t only the Elder Ancestor who had a conflict with the Junior Sect Master of the Celestial Sect that day; he did too!

"But, the Celestial Sect, as the number one sect in the Southeast Domain... would they really meticulously plot against the Elder Ancestor over such minor conflicts and disputes? As you know, the Elder Ancestor held back and didn’t kill even one person from the Celestial Sect!"

Speaking towards the end, Wyatt Barnes’s tone became somewhat subdued.

Back then, if the Elder Ancestor hadn’t held back, not only would the people around the Celestial Sect’s Junior Sect Master Preston Buckingham not have survived, but neither would Preston Buckingham himself!

"Alchemist Barnes, do you remember... the series of reactions that the Sect Leader Infinite Buckingham of the Celestial Sect had upon learning of his son’s death?"

Hunter Swayer asked again.

Hearing Hunter Swayer’s words, Wyatt Barnes recalled seriously...

"Back then, Sect Leader Infinite Buckingham of the Celestial Sect didn’t seem to be acting... his anger, his pain, his hysteria, they all seemed genuine. I, Hunter Swayer, having roamed this world for half my life, can at least see that much."

"So... can we assume: back then, Infinite Buckingham didn’t know his son wasn’t dead."

Hunter Swayer continued.

"Alchemist Swayer... are you implying that the entire affair was orchestrated by the Junior Sect Master of the Celestial Sect, Preston Buckingham?"

Wyatt Barnes wasn’t a fool; from Hunter Swayer’s words, he could easily infer this.

"Yes."

Hunter Swayer nodded, then his gaze turned cold, "Sect Leader Infinite Buckingham of the Celestial Sect has a decent reputation not just in the Southeast Domain but throughout the border regions... he would almost certainly not plot against the Elder Ancestor over that trivial incident."

"However, the Junior Sect Master Preston Buckingham of the Celestial Sect, could definitely have done such a thing."

Pausing here, Hunter Swayer continued, "Do you remember... back then, the Sect Leader Infinite Buckingham of the Celestial Sect took out the Soul Bead of his son Preston Buckingham, and although the Soul Bead didn’t shatter, the soul force within had just dissipated."

"The soul force within a Soul Bead dissipates over time and needs to be replenished."

"And the Junior Sect Master Preston Buckingham of the Celestial Sect would have known when the soul force in his Soul Bead in his father’s possession would deplete... he could completely take advantage of that opportunity to feign his death, thus provoking his father to kill the Elder Ancestor, avenging him!"

Hunter Swayer’s analysis toward the end was very assertive, as if he had personally witnessed the Junior Sect Master of the Celestial Sect, Preston Buckingham, deliberately plotting the murder of the Tycoon Elder Ancestor.

"Junior Sect Master of Xuantian Immortal Sect, Preston Buckingham..."

Wyatt Barnes’ mind conjured the image of Preston Buckingham, his gaze turned cold as he solemnly said, "Now that Preston Buckingham is still alive... Shouldn’t Xuantian Immortal Sect make Preston Buckingham atone for Elder Ancestor’s life?"

"After all, Elder Ancestor died because of him... and now, he’s alive while Elder Ancestor is dead."

Wyatt Barnes said.

"Alchemist Barnes."

Hunter Swayer smiled wryly, "Do you know why the Sect Leader is so furious? It’s not just because the Junior Sect Master of Xuantian Immortal Sect, Preston Buckingham, is alive. The main reason is the message coming from Xuantian Immortal Sect..."

"The message from Xuantian Immortal Sect is: Elder Ancestor indeed attempted to kill their Junior Sect Master, but he failed, only severely injured their Junior Sect Master without killing him."

Hunter Swayer said.

"Preposterous!"

Upon hearing Hunter Swayer’s words, Wyatt Barnes’ first thought was that Xuantian Immortal Sect was shameless, as they dared to speak such things.

The Elder Ancestor of Taiyi Immortal Sect was an Immortal Lord at Monarch Level, capable of easily killing two people... How could he possibly fail?

Utterly preposterous!

"Indeed preposterous... But, unless we at Taiyi Immortal Sect can provide evidence that Elder Ancestor didn’t attack the Junior Sect Master of Xuantian Immortal Sect, Preston Buckingham, Xuantian Immortal Sect can firmly claim that the truth is as they say."

Hunter Swayer said.

"Their words, even those Sects in the Southeastern Six Domains, wouldn’t believe, right."

Wyatt Barnes said.

"Wouldn’t believe indeed."

Hunter Swayer nodded, "However, even though they wouldn’t believe it, in the absence of evidence from Taiyi Immortal Sect, even if we intend to join forces with them to attack Xuantian Immortal Sect, they will not agree."

"Moreover, it has been some time since the last Pill Tao conference ended, and people from various sects have already returned, the matter has cooled significantly... In this situation, if we don’t provide evidence that Elder Ancestor didn’t attack Preston Buckingham, they won’t help us."

As Hunter Swayer continued, his tone was filled with a deep sense of helplessness and resignation.

As Hunter Swayer went on, Wyatt Barnes’ face grew increasingly grim.

In the past, at the Pill Tao conference, although he personally witnessed Elder Ancestor’s death, Wyatt Barnes was only angered on his behalf.

Now, upon learning that Elder Ancestor’s death was likely due to their previous conflict with Xuantian Immortal Sect’s Junior Sect Master Preston Buckingham, and Preston Buckingham intentionally plotting against him...

His mindset was entirely different now.

Besides feeling indignant for Elder Ancestor, he felt mostly guilty!

After all, at the time of the conflict with Preston Buckingham, he was involved.

Moreover, the root cause of their conflict with Preston Buckingham came from ’Leilany’ beside him.

Of course, he wouldn’t blame Leilany.

After all, the whole situation started with Xuantian Immortal Sect’s Junior Sect Master Preston Buckingham, and they could only react passively...

"Preston Buckingham..."

At this moment, murderous intent flashed in Wyatt Barnes’ eyes, cold and threatening.

This was the first time since coming to the multiverse that he wanted to kill someone so desperately!

"So... wasn’t Elder Ancestor’s death in vain?"

Wyatt Barnes asked solemnly.

"Theoretically, yes... After all, we can’t provide evidence that Elder Ancestor didn’t attack the Junior Sect Master of Xuantian Immortal Sect, Preston Buckingham. Unless Preston Buckingham admits Elder Ancestor didn’t attack him, or the disciple from Xuantian Immortal Sect who cooperated with him turns against them, Elder Ancestor’s death will be unresolved in the end."

Hunter Swayer sighed, "Xuantian Immortal Sect, in the end, will merely pretend to offer some meaningless compensation to our Taiyi Immortal Sect."

"Compensation? Who cares!"

Daven Buckingham sneered beside him.

"Xuantian Immortal Sect, Preston Buckingham..."

Anger began to blaze in Wyatt Barnes’ eyes, and once ignited, it seemed difficult to extinguish.

"Preston Buckingham must die... Otherwise, Elder Ancestor’s death will forever burden my conscience. After all, Elder Ancestor’s conflict with Preston Buckingham was still because of me and Leilany."

In that moment, Wyatt Barnes made a silent vow:

In the future, he must kill the Junior Sect Master of Xuantian Immortal Sect, Preston Buckingham, to avenge Elder Ancestor and let Elder Ancestor rest in peace!

Bidding farewell to Daven Buckingham and Hunter Swayer, Wyatt Barnes returned home and worked harder interpreting the Monarch Level Immortal Method and Divine Ability obtained from the Happy Zen Sect and Xuantian Immortal Sect... He now craved swift progress in enhancing his strength.

Only by doing so could he better protect himself and those around him.

Only by doing so could he exact revenge for those who died because of him!

Elder Ancestor’s death, Wyatt Barnes bore the responsibility on his own shoulders.
