Legend of Wyatt

The news about the Junior Sect Master Preston Buckingham of the Xuantian Sect not being dead spread quickly to the Taiyi Sect in the Desolate Territory and soon across the entire southeastern six regions.

The top sects of the southeastern six regions also received the news one after another.

"That Junior Sect Master Preston Buckingham of the Xuantian Sect is actually not dead?"

"The news from the Xuantian Sect is... The Elder Ancestor of the Taiyi Sect failed to kill Preston Buckingham, allowing him to survive by luck."

"Failed? Do you think that’s possible? The Elder Ancestor of the Taiyi Sect is a Gossips Immortal Lord!"

"Yes... Although I’m just a Six Harmony Immortal Lord, if it were me taking action, not only would the Junior Sect Master Preston Buckingham of the Xuantian Sect be unable to survive, but even the disciple of the Xuantian Sect who reported the conspiracy at the Pill Tao conference would also not survive, because I would directly destroy their bodies!"

"It’s one thing for the Elder Ancestor of the Taiyi Sect to fail in killing the whistleblower disciple of the Xuantian Sect... but failing to kill the Junior Sect Master Preston Buckingham of the Xuantian Sect as well? That’s absolutely impossible!"

"It seems the death of Beckham Ho, the Elder Ancestor of the Taiyi Sect, is not so simple."

"Isn’t it obvious?"

...

Within the top sects of the southeastern six regions, anyone who participated in the Pill Tao conference held some time ago in Desolate Domain’s Pill Tao City now unanimously believes it was a setup by the Xuantian Sect, intentionally plotting against the Elder Ancestor of the Taiyi Sect.

Of course, they cannot figure out the situation as thoroughly as the people from the Taiyi Sect, and wouldn’t suspect it was the Junior Sect Master Preston Buckingham of the Xuantian Sect who orchestrated the setup.

"That Sect Leader Infinite Buckingham of the Xuantian Sect, I used to think he was quite open and honest... yet I didn’t expect him to do such a thing."

"Isn’t there a saying that’s quite good? You can know someone’s face but not their heart... That Infinite Buckingham is actually a beast at heart!"

"I used to wonder how a person like Infinite Buckingham could have such an absurd son... Now I completely understand, his son inherited his cruelty; he just hid it well, while his son did not intentionally conceal it."

...

Just as Sect Leader ’Infinite Buckingham’ of the Xuantian Sect imagined, with the news that his son Preston Buckingham was not dead spreading across the southeastern six regions, his reputation was utterly ruined, and in a very foul way.

Still, just as the Junior Sect Master Preston Buckingham of the Xuantian Sect had said, in the absence of evidence from the Taiyi Sect, the major sects in the southeastern six regions could not join forces with the Taiyi Sect to pressure their Xuantian Sect.

But, regarding this matter, even if the Taiyi Sect cannot present evidence, all the major sects in the southeastern six regions are well aware; they just cannot publicly support the Taiyi Sect against the Xuantian Sect due to various reasons.

This matter, because it involves the death of the Gossips Immortal Lord of the Taiyi Sect, has been discussed across the southeastern six regions for a long time.

As Immortal Alchemy Master ’Hunter Swayer’ of the Taiyi Sect speculated, despite the Xuantian Sect claiming their Junior Sect Master survived fortuitously, they still pretended to be generous and offered compensation to the Taiyi Sect for the death of their Elder Ancestor.

The compensation they offered was merely some low-grade Immortal Crystals and some common Pill Medicine.

"Take your stuff and get back to your Xuantian Sect!"

"Tell your Sect Leader Infinite Buckingham... Justice lies in people’s hearts! We’ve taken note of this, and our Taiyi Sect will never let it rest!"

The person sent from the Xuantian Sect to offer compensation was an elder of the Xuantian Sect, who was driven away by Sect Leader ’Daven Buckingham’ before even entering the Taiyi Sect’s premises.

"Humph!"

Upon hearing Daven Buckingham’s thunderous voice, the elder’s face clouded, quickly turning around in anger, leaving behind a message in the distance:

"Our Sect Leader said... if the Taiyi Sect does not accept this compensation, our Xuantian Sect will absolutely not force it!"

And the words left by the elder of the Xuantian Sect, once spread throughout the Taiyi Sect premises, immediately incited anger among the members of the Taiyi Sect, wishing to catch up immediately and eliminate the Xuantian Sect elder!

Yet, they ultimately restrained themselves.

Because they understand that killing the elder of the Xuantian Sect would be straightforward, but if they killed him, the subsequent situation would become complicated.

The Xuantian Sect would definitely seize this opportunity to make things difficult for the Taiyi Sect.

...

There’s a saying that goes:

No matter what happens, time will wash it away completely.

As time passed, the matter of the Junior Sect Master Preston Buckingham of the Xuantian Sect not being dead, and the wrongful death of Beckham Ho, the Elder Ancestor of the Taiyi Sect, gradually faded away in the southeastern six regions, with only a few people mentioning it.

Later on, almost no one brought it up.

The Taiyi Sect returned to calm, as always.

However, amidst this calm, the Taiyi Sect, from the Sect Leader to ordinary disciples, felt a mysterious sense of oppression.

This pressure completely stemmed from the death of their Elder Ancestor of the Taiyi Sect.

If the Junior Sect Master Preston Buckingham of the Xuantian Sect had really been killed by their Elder Ancestor of the Taiyi Sect, that would be one thing... After all, a life for a life, it’s only just!

Although the life of their Elder Ancestor of the Taiyi Sect was precious, the life of the Junior Sect Master Preston Buckingham of the Xuantian Sect was not lacking in value.

A life exchanged for a life would have been worth it.

But now, their Elder Ancestor of the Taiyi Sect died in vain for the Junior Sect Master Preston Buckingham of the Xuantian Sect, yet the other party did not die.

What is happening here?

This can be let go.

The problem is, the Elder Ancestor of the Taichi Immortal Sect is dead, yet the Junior Sect Master of the Huaxi Zen Sect, Preston Buckingham, doesn’t need to pay with his life and still lives freely and easily.

This really frustrates them!

On this day.

A voice like a thunderbolt reverberates outside the Taichi Immortal Sect, stirring the entire sect!

"Maximus Lee from the Huaxi Zen Sect, accompanied by the Buddhist Child Killian Diaz from Huaxi Zen Sect, visits the Taichi Immortal Sect!"

As soon as this voice spread throughout the Taichi Immortal Sect, most people’s hearts tightened:

"Huaxi Zen Sect? Isn’t that a sect from the Crossing Region?"

"Yes! Huaxi Zen Sect is a sect from the Crossing Region... Moreover, it’s a powerful sect with the ’Ten Directions Immortal Lord’!"

"Buddhist Child of the Huaxi Zen Sect? I heard that the Buddhist Child usually refers to the next sect leader of Huaxi Zen Sect... How come the successor of Huaxi Zen Sect’s Sect Leader is visiting our Taichi Immortal Sect?"

"That’s not the point... The point is, the successor of Huaxi Zen Sect’s Sect Leader was brought here by someone."

"Who exactly is this self-proclaimed ’Maximus Lee’?"

...

While the entire Taichi Immortal Sect is shaken by that thunderous voice, many are curious about the identity of the self-proclaimed ’Maximus Lee’.

The meaning represented by the Buddhist Child of the Huaxi Zen Sect is well understood by many in the Taichi Immortal Sect.

However, the name ’Maximus Lee’ is unfamiliar to most in the Taichi Immortal Sect.

Of course, it’s only unfamiliar to most people in the Taichi Immortal Sect.

There are still some elders in the Taichi Immortal Sect who know who ’Maximus Lee’ from Huaxi Zen Sect is:

"Maximus Lee? Could he be one of the two Elder Ancestors of the Huaxi Zen Sect? That Nine Palace Immortal Lord?"

"Huaxi Zen Sect’s Elder Ancestor? Nine Palace Immortal Lord? The very individual recognized by the people of our Southeastern Six Regions as the foremost Nine Palace Immortal Lord? Considered invincible under the Ten Directions Immortal Lord in our Southeastern Six Regions?"

"Why... why is he here?"

"I heard that during the last Pill Tao gathering, before our Taichi Immortal Sect’s Elder Ancestor was killed by Preston Buckingham, the Sect Leader of the Huaxi Zen Sect, one of his eyes was disabled!"

"Now, the Elder Ancestor of the Huaxi Zen Sect, Maximus Lee, together with the Buddhist Child, is here; perhaps their intentions aren’t benign..."

"I also think so. After all, we Taichi Immortal Sect have no interactions with their Huaxi Zen Sect."

...

Before long, word spreads quickly from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and the entire Taichi Immortal Sect knows the status of ’Maximus Lee’ within the Huaxi Zen Sect, as well as that he is recognized by the people of the Southeastern Six Regions as the foremost Nine Palace Immortal Lord.

"The foremost Nine Palace Immortal Lord of the Southeastern Six Regions? Claimed to be ’invincible without the emergence of the Ten Directions Immortal Lord’ within the Southeastern Six Regions?"

"Why would such an existence... come to our Taichi Immortal Sect?"

"I don’t know."

"I just feel their visit to our Taichi Immortal Sect won’t mean anything good."

...

Many in the Taichi Immortal Sect have their hearts hanging in suspense, with some even feeling anxious and uneasy.

"I remembered... In the last Pill Tao gathering, besides defeating the Huaxi Zen Sect’s Monarch Level Divine Ability known for attack and speed, Alchemist Barnes also defeated the Huaxi Zen Sect’s Monarch Level Immortal Method!"

"I also recall this... Alchemist Barnes won the Huaxi Zen Sect’s sole Monarch Level Immortal Method that includes attack, speed, and defense, named ’Immovable King’!"

"Could it be the Elder Ancestor of the Huaxi Zen Sect, Maximus Lee, is visiting us to reclaim that Monarch Level Immortal Method?"

"It’s unlikely... Although Huaxi Zen Sect lost that Immortal Method to Alchemist Barnes, they merely shared it with him, and they didn’t actually lose the Immortal Method itself. Furthermore, this event was witnessed by the Alliance of Immortal Masters and prominent sects from the Southeastern Six Regions. If they were to reclaim the Immortal Method, their reputation would be tarnished, and who would dare to engage with their Huaxi Zen Sect in future Pill Tao gatherings?"

"If they aren’t here to retrieve that Monarch Level Immortal Method... then why have they come?"

...

As insights flashed through the minds of many in the Taichi Immortal Sect, various speculations arose, with most guessing that the Huaxi Zen Sect’s people came due to losing that Monarch Level Immortal Method to Alchemist Barnes during the last Pill Tao gathering.

"Elder Ancestor Maximus Lee of the Huaxi Zen Sect? Why... why is he here?"

Upon hearing the booming voice from outside the Taichi Immortal Sect’s base, Sect Leader Daven Buckingham’s expression drastically changed.

Although he did not attend the last Pill Tao gathering,

Hunter Swayer reported the event details to him afterward without missing a detail.
