Legend of Wyatt

"You... looking for me?"

Wyatt Barnes spoke casually, asking Maximus Lee, "Maximus Lee."

"Presumptuous!"

Almost as soon as Wyatt Barnes finished speaking, Killian Diaz shouted in anger, and his gaze at Wyatt Barnes revealed a cold light, sharp as a knife or sword.

"To see my ancestor and dare to call him by name... Do you really think you are someone from the Central Territory’s major families?"

"Ridiculous!"

As Killian Diaz spoke, his tone was filled with mockery and disdain.

"Hmm?"

Almost at the moment Killian Diaz finished speaking, Daven Buckingham, Hunter Swayer, and Cain Iron were taken aback.

What does the Zen Buddhist child’s words mean?

What does it mean that you really think you are someone from the Central Territory’s major families?

Could it be that Alchemist Barnes might not be someone from the Central Territory’s major families?

"What do you mean by that?"

Upon hearing Killian Diaz’s words, Wyatt Barnes glanced at him, slightly frowned, and asked.

Though hidden within Wyatt Barnes’s heart, he already vaguely guessed what had happened:

"It seems the Zen Buddhists have almost uncovered all my ’background’... or else they definitely wouldn’t dare be so presumptuous in front of me!"

"They must have confirmed that I am not someone from the Central Territory’s major families."

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

"What do you mean?"

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’s question, Killian Diaz sneered even more, "Wyatt Barnes, in these recent years, the intelligence network of our Zen Buddhists hasn’t been idle... Our intelligence network has infiltrated the Desolate Territory and uncovered your background."

"You are not someone from any Central Territory major families!"

"You are merely an ’ascender’ from a secular plane!"

As he continued, Killian Diaz spoke almost word for word, as if passing judgment, and his eyes reflected a deepening mockery and disdain, reaching an extreme.

"What?!"

"Alchemist Barnes... an ascender?!"

Upon hearing Killian Diaz’s words, Daven Buckingham, Hunter Swayer, and Cain Iron couldn’t help but laugh, and as they laughed, they looked at Killian Diaz as though gazing at a ’fool.’

Their sect’s Alchemist Barnes is currently under a hundred years old.

This is a universally acknowledged fact.

Moreover, their sect’s Alchemist Barnes is a top-grade alchemist capable of crafting Rowan Heaven Pills, and his skills in alchemy are renowned even in the southeastern six territories.

He’s also recognized by people from the southeastern six territories as the ’first top-grade alchemist’!

Moreover, their sect’s Alchemist Barnes is an Upper Immortal!

Under a hundred years old.

The southeastern six territories’ first top-grade alchemist.

Upper Immortal.

Could such an existence be an ’ascender’?

"Buddhist child, even if you said Alchemist Barnes was the direct disciple of that titled Divine Emperor — the Divine Emperor of South Heaven — we might believe it somewhat... But saying Alchemist Barnes is an ascender implies you take us for fools?"

Hunter Swayer looked at Killian Diaz and laughed coldly.

"Exactly!"

Cain Iron chimed in, "Under a hundred years, a top-grade alchemist with skills surpassing Monarch Grade alchemists, and also an Upper Immortal... An ascender like this, let alone in our Spiritual Heaven, even if you could find such an ascender among the other eighty heavenly planes, I, Cain Iron, am willing to twist off my own head and let you kick it like a ball!"

As he continued, Cain Iron’s tone was full of disbelief, blatantly refusing to believe Killian Diaz’s words.

"Absurd!"

Even though Daven Buckingham spoke few words, his brief remark clearly aligned his thoughts and opinions with Hunter Swayer’s and Cain Iron’s.

"You all... you don’t believe?"

Seeing the three looking at him like ’fools,’ Killian Diaz felt wronged and almost exploded with anger.

Wyatt Barnes chuckled.

"Killian, why bother arguing with them? If this matter wasn’t investigated by our Zen Buddhists, even you and I wouldn’t have believed that Wyatt Barnes is merely an ascender who hasn’t ascended long ago."

Maximus Lee looked at Wyatt Barnes with a calm expression but was speaking to Killian Diaz.

"So, no need to quarrel with those three... Remember, we came this time for Wyatt Barnes. Why care about others or other matters?"

Saying thus, Maximus Lee’s tone revealed a disdain and indifference towards Daven and the other two.

Instantly, Daven Buckingham and the other two’s faces turned grim.

However, though Maximus Lee spoke earnestly, it was still insufficient to convince the three to believe Killian Diaz’s words.

Because they did not think Wyatt Barnes could be an ascender.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

Maximus Lee looked at Wyatt Barnes and said firmly, "I came this time as a representative of our Blissful Zen Sect... our Blissful Zen Sect has already uncovered your background!"

"We offer you two paths."

After his words fell, not waiting for Wyatt Barnes to speak, Maximus Lee continued:

"The first path is for you to join our Blissful Zen Sect, become a Sacrificial Officer Alchemist for us... our Blissful Zen Sect will not mistreat you."

"The second path... is death!"

As he spoke of ’the second path,’ a cold killing intent flashed between Maximus Lee’s eyes.

This killing intent from the Nine Palaces Immortal Lord’s eyes entered Wyatt Barnes’s view, causing a shiver in Wyatt Barnes’s heart, making him feel as if he were on the brink of life and death.

This feeling made Wyatt Barnes very uncomfortable.

"Even if I am an ascendant... does that mean I couldn’t be from a prominent family in the central lands?"

Wyatt Barnes still looked calmly at Maximus Lee.

"Heh!"

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Killian Diaz couldn’t help but chuckle, "Wyatt Barnes, you still want to pretend to be from a prominent central family at this point?"

"It seems you are unwilling to accept this... If so, I’ll tell you: after investigation both openly and secretly, we Blissful Zen Sect have gained considerable understanding of the prominent families within the central lands by finding those who have been there."

"But there’s no ’Crimson Heaven Barnes Family’ in the central lands!"

Saying that, Killian Diaz emphasized each word.

"Looks like your Blissful Zen Sect really put in some effort... but do you think, if our Crimson Heaven Barnes Family is a hidden clan from the central lands, it would be something your Blissful Zen Sect could uncover?"

Wyatt Barnes said indifferently.

After speaking, not waiting for Killian Diaz to argue, Wyatt Barnes turned to Maximus Lee, "If I’m not mistaken... even if I choose the first path offered by your Blissful Zen Sect, after working for your sect for a few years, you would still not spare my life?"

"No need to deny... would you truly leave alive someone who might threaten Blissful Zen Sect in the future?"

Finally, a wise glint flashed in Wyatt Barnes’s eyes.

"You are very clever."

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Maximus Lee’s face changed colors, and the look he gave Wyatt Barnes grew even more intense with killing intent, "You could’ve lived a few more years..."

"It’s a pity, you’re too smart... so today, you must die!"

After his words fell, the killing intent emerged from Maximus Lee, and the Origin Force whirling around him resembled great floodwaters, emitting a terrifying aura.

The aura of the Nine Palaces Immortal Lord, upon its emergence, pressed down upon Wyatt Barnes and beside him Leilany, causing them to tremble.

Hunter Swayer was also forced to change his expression.

Even Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron, the two Seven Stars Immortal Lords, had their faces slightly altered, turning somewhat pale under the oppressive aura from Maximus Lee’s Origin Force.

Maximus Lee wasn’t an ordinary Nine Palaces Immortal Lord.

In the Southeast Six Territories, he is deemed undefeated below the Ten Directions Immortal Lord, his strength directly approaching the Ten Directions Immortal Lord.

His aura far exceeds that of a typical Nine Palaces Immortal Lord.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Accompanied by two gusts of wind, Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron exchanged glances, then moved swiftly to stand protectively before Wyatt Barnes like two Guardian Deities.

"Sect Leader, Elder Iron..."

Wyatt Barnes was exceedingly surprised that despite the unmatched power of Maximus Lee, Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron still stood before him in protection.

Suddenly, warmth flooded Wyatt Barnes’s heart.

"Sect Leader, Elder Iron... this is between him and me, it doesn’t concern you."

Wyatt Barnes spoke to Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron, knowing that even if they risked their lives, they couldn’t possibly stop Maximus Lee, who was recognized as the ’First Nine Palaces Immortal Lord’ in the Southeast Six Territories.

"Alchemist Barnes."

Daven Buckingham said resolutely, "I don’t care if you are an ascendant or whether you’re from a central mainland prominent family... I only know that presently, you are our Taiyi Immortal Sect’s chief alchemy Immortal Master!"

"Therefore, no matter who it is, anyone wishing to kill you... must first get through me, Daven Buckingham!"

Daven Buckingham’s words were unshakeable and firm.

Though Cain Iron remained silent, his large figure stood beside Daven Buckingham unmoving, nonetheless clearly stating his stance.

"Hmph!"

Maximus Lee snorted coldly, "Do you think... that you two mere Seven Stars Immortal Lords can stop me from killing Wyatt Barnes?"

In an instant, Maximus Lee’s figure blurred, appearing shadow-like before Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron, who didn’t even have a chance to react.

The disparity in strength was too great!

Bang! Bang!

With two resounding crashes echoing in Wyatt Barnes’s ears, in a flash Wyatt Barnes saw that where Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron had stood, only Maximus Lee remained.

As for Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron, they lay far away, sprawled miserably, clearly unable to resist against Maximus Lee.

"I want to know... is killing me solely your intention, Maximus Lee, or the Blissful Zen Sect’s intention?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at Maximus Lee, his gaze still calm.

But in his right hand behind his back, at some unknown time, appeared a hairpin...
