Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2896: Monster Genius

If it were the former Wyatt Barnes, even if he glared angrily at Killian Diaz, Killian wouldn’t feel even the slightest fear.

But now, even with Wyatt looking at him with a smile, he couldn’t help but change his complexion, his whole body tense as if sitting on needles.

Although he hadn’t clearly seen how his Elder Ancestor, Maximus Lee of the Joyful Zen Sect, died.

Yet, through the reactions of some people around him, it wasn’t hard to discern:

His Elder Ancestor had died at Wyatt Barnes’ hands!

"My God! The soul attack of Alchemist Barnes is terrifying... it not only crushed that Maximus Lee’s soul attack but also directly annihilated Maximus Lee’s soul afterwards!"

"Maximus Lee’s soul couldn’t withstand Alchemist Barnes’ soul attack at all and was directly obliterated!"

"The strength of Alchemist Barnes... is actually so formidable?"

"Alchemist Barnes has hidden so deeply... Previously, I only knew of his extraordinary Pill Tao skills, and he had just recently showcased his talents at the Pill Tao Conference, being recognized as the foremost top-grade alchemist in the Southeastern Six Regions. Yet unexpectedly, he possesses not only unrivaled Pill Tao skills but also such incredible strength!"

"Judging by the strength Alchemist Barnes displayed just now... even the Ten Directions Immortal Lord probably isn’t nearly his match, right?"

"Alchemist Barnes is definitely an Immortal King! Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly possess such strength!"

"Earlier, when the sky suddenly turned purple, then the Elder Ancestor Maximus Lee of the Joyful Zen Sect was imprisoned by that purple force... At that time, I thought it was a strongman by Alchemist Barnes’ side acting, yet unexpectedly, it was Alchemist Barnes himself!"

"My God! What kind of family is behind Alchemist Barnes, the one from the central land, that produces such a prodigy!"

"Not even a hundred years old, a top-grade alchemist, Immortal King powerhouse... not just in our South Heaven’s Borderlands, even considering the entire Spiritual Heaven, such an existence might be once in a ten-thousand-year occurrence?"

"I don’t know... Anyway, I’ve never heard of an under-one-hundred-year-old Immortal King powerhouse appearing in Spiritual Heaven. Maybe I’m ignorant, or maybe Spiritual Heaven really hasn’t seen such a powerhouse below one hundred years old!"

...

As Killian Diaz’s complexion changed greatly, whispers continuously reached his ears.

And these whispers were exactly from the high-level figures of the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

Upon hearing the whispers from the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s upper echelons, he felt increasingly fearful, as well as more terrified.

"Is the Buddha ignoring my words? Showing me no respect like this?"

When Killian Diaz’s expression changed greatly and he panicked inside, even forgetting to respond to Wyatt Barnes, Wyatt spoke again, and his gaze towards Killian also took on a colder edge.

Indeed, it was this slight coldness in his gaze that made Killian’s face change greatly again, feeling as though he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"No, no..."

As his face changed dramatically again, Killian dared not neglect, hastily shaking his head, saying, "Alchemist Barnes, I absolutely didn’t intentionally ignore you, nor was I disrespecting you."

"I... I... I was just lost for a moment... Sorry... Really sorry!"

Saying this, Killian repeatedly bowed and apologized to Wyatt Barnes, looking as if he deeply feared Wyatt might attack him for any disagreement.

Killian knew in his heart:

Given Wyatt Barnes’ displayed strength, killing him would be as simple as slaughtering chickens or cutting grass!

"Well then... can you answer me now?"

Wyatt raised his eyebrows and asked calmly, "The matter of trying to kill me, was it really as Maximus Lee said, purely his own decision... or was it the intention of your Joyful Zen Sect?"

"I hope you won’t lie to me, Buddha... After all, this kind of thing, if I want to investigate, it’s very easy to uncover."

After his words fell, Wyatt Barnes gave Killian Diaz a deep look, clearly reminding and warning Killian not to speak falsehoods!

"I don’t dare... I don’t dare... Even if you lent me a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare deceive you, Alchemist Barnes."

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ reminder, Killian hurriedly waved his hands, saying.

"As for the matter of intending to kill you, Alchemist Barnes, it was after our Joyful Zen Sect found out about your ’ascender’ identity that our sect’s upper echelons held a meeting to reach this decision."

"After that meeting, my Elder Ancestor brought me along... You know what happened afterwards, Alchemist Barnes."

Killian said.

After speaking, he cautiously glanced at Wyatt Barnes, "Alchemist Barnes, I’ve told you everything I want to know..."

"Can I leave now?"

At the moment, Killian Diaz didn’t want to linger here any longer, because it was truly too unsafe.

"Of course."

Upon hearing Killian’s words, Wyatt Barnes nodded.

Just as Killian Diaz breathed a sigh of relief, intending to turn and leave, Wyatt Barnes’ voice rang out, stopping him in his tracks, his face changing again.

And the reason his face changed again was because of this subsequent sentence from Wyatt Barnes.

"Buddha, coincidentally, I also want to visit your Joyful Zen Sect... You wouldn’t mind showing me the way, would you?"

This was Wyatt Barnes’ exact words.

The implied intention was clearly to visit the Joyful Zen Sect.

As for why he wanted to visit the Joyful Zen Sect, anyone present who heard Wyatt’s words could almost guess.

"Is Alchemist Barnes planning to assault the Joyful Zen Sect?"

"It seems so... isn’t this too reckless?"

"No... not reckless... for ordinary people, this might be mad. But for Alchemist Barnes, it’s merely a minor matter."

"Exactly! You should know, Alchemist Barnes is a powerful Immortal King!"

...

Many members of the Taiyi Immortal Sect whispered among themselves.

Now, even the disciples with weaker powers within the Taiyi Immortal Sect had learned from more powerful senior members that Wyatt Barnes is a powerful Immortal King.

They were not only shocked but also couldn’t help feeling excited.

After all, this Immortal King was not an outsider; he was their sect’s sacrificial officer!

"What? Seeing the Buddha child’s expression... seems like he’s not quite willing?"

Wyatt Barnes’ eyes flashed with a sharp light as he asked in a deep voice, his tone carrying an added chill once more.

"No... No... I am willing! I am willing! It is an honor for me, Killian Diaz, to be able to lead you, Alchemist Barnes. It’s a blessing I’ve cultivated over three lifetimes!"

Upon hearing the coldness in Wyatt Barnes’ tone again, Killian Diaz was so frightened his voice trembled, sweat breaking out on his forehead.

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes glanced at the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader Daven Buckingham and said, "Sect Leader, I’d like to borrow Elder Iron to accompany me to the Huanxi Zen Sect..."

"May I?"

Wyatt Barnes asked with a smile.

As Wyatt Barnes spoke further, he also glanced at Cain Iron beside Daven Buckingham.

"Of course!"

Though Daven Buckingham wasn’t sure why Wyatt Barnes wanted Cain Iron to go to the Huanxi Zen Sect with him, for whatever reason, it was impossible for him to refuse Wyatt Barnes’ request.

Moreover, this request was not a big deal to him.

"Thank you, Sect Leader."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, then turned to Cain Iron and said, "Elder Iron, I’ll be relying on you to lead us on this journey..."

"I plan to continue comprehending the Immortal Method during the journey."

Once Wyatt Barnes finished speaking, the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader Daven Buckingham suddenly realized,

It turned out that Alchemist Barnes wanted Cain Iron to lead them on their way to the Huanxi Zen Sect.

And Alchemist Barnes himself couldn’t lead the journey as he needed to comprehend the Immortal Method.

"No problem, it’s just a small matter."

Cain Iron responded with a smile, looking the same as always, but if one looked closely at his eyes, they’d notice:

At present, when Cain Iron looked at Wyatt Barnes, there was noticeably more respect in his eyes.

And the reason for this change was naturally because of the strength Wyatt Barnes had previously displayed...

Previously, Wyatt Barnes, as an alchemist whose pill refinement level surpassed ordinary monarch-grade alchemist Celestial Masters, was already deserving of his respect.

Now, with the additional halo of ’Immortal King’ above Wyatt Barnes, it naturally made Cain Iron respect him even more.

"Leilany."

As Cain Iron responded, Wyatt Barnes lowered his head to look at Leilany beside him and said with a smile, "You’re injured, so stay here to recover."

"Brother Leandro will go to the Huanxi Zen Sect, and upon return..."

Wyatt Barnes intended for Leilany to stay behind and heal, but before he finished speaking, Leilany interrupted him, "Brother Leandro, Leilany wants to go with you, I don’t want to be separated from you."

"As for healing... since Elder Iron is taking us on the journey, I can heal along the way."

Leilany said with a serious and determined expression.

Seeing this, Wyatt Barnes could only smile wryly and nod helplessly, "Alright then..."

A moment later, Wyatt Barnes bid farewell to Daven Buckingham, the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader, and then let the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s Eldest Elder Cain Iron lead him and Leilany on the journey.

Naturally, Cain Iron also brought along Killian Diaz, the Buddha child of the Huanxi Zen Sect, to show the way.

Until the silhouettes of Wyatt Barnes and the others disappeared from the sight of the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s members, they finally snapped out of their shock.

Once they came to their senses, another uproar ensued:

"With Alchemist Barnes making this trip, the Huanxi Zen Sect is bound for earth-shattering changes..."

"However, if Alchemist Barnes destabilizes the Huanxi Zen Sect, if the sect has a semi-immortal king power in hiding within the southeastern regions, they likely won’t let it go easily?"

"A semi-immortal king? Do you think even if the Huanxi Zen Sect has a semi-immortal king, they would be a match for Alchemist Barnes?"

"Exactly! With the strength Alchemist Barnes displayed earlier, even general Immortal Kings might not be as powerful as him."

"If the Huanxi Zen Sect’s semi-immortal king doesn’t appear, that’s fortunate... but should they emerge, a wrathful Alchemist Barnes might crush them with a single hand!"

"I’m even more curious now about the kind of family behind Alchemist Barnes... What family could nurture such a prodigy?"

...

The discussions among the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s members continued, further shaking them with Wyatt Barnes’ extraordinary nature.

After all, Wyatt Barnes being under a hundred years old was well known to all.

Most importantly, one couldn’t fake being less than a hundred years old.
