Legend of Wyatt

Almost at the very moment the Left Protector of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, ’Cain Iron’, roared out.

Boom!!

From his body, vast and immense Immortal Origin Force surged out, and around this Immortal Origin Force were six clearly visible lightnings like little serpents.

It gave a spine-chilling feeling.

"Six Lightning Bolts Immortal Lord!"

And when the six lightnings circled around Cain Iron’s Immortal Origin Force, even though Wyatt Barnes was mentally prepared, his pupils couldn’t help but contract fiercely, simultaneously sighing inwardly that the rumors were true.

In the past, he had heard:

Within the Taiyi Immortal Sect, the strongest Sect Leader and Grand Elder were both ’Seven Stars Immortal Lords’, and the two Protectors below them were ’Six Lightning Bolts Immortal Lords’.

Of course, after meeting that Brother Patel, he knew that these rumors were not entirely true.

At least, according to Brother Patel’s words, in the Desolate Territory’s three major Immortal Sects, each had a ’Bagua Immortal Lord’.

Thus, Wyatt Barnes speculated:

In the Taiyi Immortal Sect, maybe the Sect Leader or the Grand Elder was one of the ’Bagua Immortal Lords’, or perhaps there was another trump card within the Taiyi Immortal Sect that had yet to surface, which was the ’Bagua Immortal Lord’.

"Left Protector!"

Facing Cain Iron, who was furious and might strike him down at any moment, Wyatt Barnes maintained his usual calm demeanor, "Even if you kill me, kill Leilany, it’s nothing more than completing this mission..."

"In doing so, you might lose the chance to have someone refine the top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill’ at any time."

Wyatt Barnes said calmly.

"Didn’t you refuse to join my Taiyi Immortal Sect?"

Cain Iron, who was initially unable to hold back, heard Wyatt Barnes’s words and didn’t rush to strike but instead coldly laughed and asked.

"I cannot join the Taiyi Immortal Sect... but, not joining the Taiyi Immortal Sect doesn’t mean I can’t help you, Left Protector, refine Rowan Heaven Pill. As long as you provide me with the materials to refine Rowan Heaven Pill, I can refine Rowan Heaven Pill for you, Left Protector, at no cost."

"This, even if I join the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, will not change."

Wyatt Barnes looked at Cain Iron and said frankly, "Of course, the premise is... you, Left Protector, trust me."

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Cain Iron didn’t rush to speak, but instead stood there, staring intently at Wyatt Barnes.

To be precise, he locked eyes with Wyatt Barnes, and occasionally his gaze swept over Wyatt Barnes’s cheeks, as if trying to see if Wyatt Barnes was just being perfunctory.

After all, once Wyatt Barnes joined the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, threatening him would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

At that time, Wyatt Barnes could completely go back on his words, ignoring him.

Unless Wyatt Barnes truly proved worthy of his trust, otherwise, there was no need for him to abandon today’s mission for a promise that might not be fulfilled and let the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect have an additional top-grade alchemist who could refine Rowan Heaven Pill.

Facing Cain Iron’s direct gaze, Wyatt Barnes fearlessly met it, without a hint of guilt.

Since he spoke those words, he never planned to go back on them.

"Hope you won’t disappoint me."

Finally, Cain Iron chose to trust Wyatt Barnes.

Of course, the reason for choosing to trust Wyatt Barnes, apart from his recent observation that Wyatt Barnes didn’t seem like someone untrustworthy, was more due to his inner choice.

Killing Wyatt Barnes, killing the girl beside him, was just completing a mission.

And not killing Wyatt Barnes, not killing the girl beside him, was simply abandoning this mission. Given his status, he didn’t worry about facing any consequences after abandoning today’s mission, and he would also have a chance to obtain a large number of Rowan Heaven Pills anytime.

Ultimately, he chose the latter.

Swoosh!

Before Wyatt Barnes and Leilany could react, Cain Iron’s figure flickered and disappeared from their sight like a ghost.

"The one who issued the order to kill this girl was Jay Gold from the Golden Light Palace under the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation... As I leave, I will help you kill Jay Gold and annihilate his entire clan!"

Cain Iron’s voice began to echo in Wyatt Barnes and Leilany’s ears as he departed.

"Jay Gold?"

Upon hearing Cain Iron’s words, Wyatt Barnes’s expression turned cold. He never expected that Jay Gold would be so heartless as to hire black market assassins to kill Leilany.

In the past, he had encountered Jay Gold’s father on the street; because each harbored the second form of Chaos Divine Fire within them, they were at odds.

However, the final result was:

Jay Gold’s father died, and his second form of Chaos Divine Fire devoured the second form of Chaos Divine Fire within the other.

Moreover, on that occasion, the enemy was the first to try to kill him.

Leilany killed the enemy purely to protect him...

"Thankfully, I am currently a top-grade alchemist and can refine the top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill’... otherwise, this time, Leilany would be in grave danger."

Thinking about this, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but feel a wave of lingering fear.

If Leilany were to come to harm because of him, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

"Jay Gold of Golden Light Palace? He issued a task asking a black market assassin to kill me? Do I... have a grudge against him?"

Unlike Wyatt Barnes, who recalled the events of the past, Leilany, always carefree, had long since put that matter behind her and did not remember it for a while.

"Leilany, do you remember the old fellow you killed in the street who wanted to kill me back in the day, the former king of Golden Light Palace? At that time, I even had you and Francis Bushell protect me, while you used Immortal Origin to create four ice walls to protect me inside."

Wyatt reminded her.

With Wyatt’s reminder, Leilany immediately remembered, and her eyes turned cold, "So it was that fellow... If I had known he would do this, I should have killed him back then!"

Thanks to Wyatt’s reminder, Leilany also recalled that event of the past, and remembered seeing Jay Gold from Golden Light Palace.

"You don’t need to act now... The Left Protector of the Tai Yi Immortal Sect will handle it for us."

Wyatt said.

"Brother Wyatt, you were unwilling to agree to his joining the Tai Yi Immortal Sect... Why is he still helping us in this way?"

Leilany asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Leilany, this is precisely where his cleverness lies."

Wyatt’s eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said with a faint smile, "For him, believing that I will help him refine Rowan Heaven Pill for free in the future is a risky choice... But by offering me a favor, he makes this choice less risky."

"After all, with this favor, if I go back on my word, it would be unreasonable... Moreover, it would undermine my status as a top-grade alchemist."

Wyatt explained.

Leilany nodded with an expression suggesting partial understanding.

Because when Cain Iron of Tai Yi Immortal Sect’s Left Protector intruded

into the Thirteenth Prince’s mansion, he casually set up formations in the courtyard of the guest room where Wyatt Barnes and Leilany resided, so even though he made quite a commotion here, he still went unnoticed.

Even the most powerful Upper Immortal at the Thirteenth Prince’s mansion, Francis Bushell, didn’t notice anything amiss.

"Leilany, try taking this Rowan Heaven Pill to see if it can be compatible with the medicinal power within your body, helping you quickly elevate your cultivation."

After Cain Iron left, Wyatt Barnes was eager to know whether Leilany could enhance her cultivation by taking the top-grade Immortal Pill Rowan Heaven Pill, which was one of the main reasons he had desperately familiarized himself with the technique of refining top-grade Immortal Pills recently.

When Leilany just took the Rowan Heaven Pill to cultivate, Wyatt Barnes looked expectant.

However, moments later, the first words Leilany spoke upon opening her eyes shattered his expectation, replacing it with a wry smile and mild disappointment.

"Brother Wyatt, the medicinal power from the pill my mother gave me completely repels the medicinal power of Rowan Heaven Pill."

This was Leilany’s original words.

It made Wyatt Barnes realize:

The pill medicine Leilany’s mother gave her was extremely overpowering; not only are ordinary pills useless to Leilany, even something like ’Rowan Heaven Pill,’ an exceptional top-grade Immortal Pill, is useless.

"Brother Wyatt, it’s okay... even if I can’t take this Rowan Heaven Pill, my cultivation speed isn’t slow at all."

Seeing Wyatt Barnes’s disappointment, Leilany smiled to comfort him.

Leilany was already blessed with unrivaled beauty, and her smile now made Wyatt Barnes feel as if he was bathed in the warmth of spring, and his previously bad mood quickly improved.

His gaze was also attracted to Leilany’s perfect face, and it took him a while to snap back to reality, appropriately retracting his gaze.

...

About ten days later, a message reached the palace, reached the Thirteenth Prince’s mansion:

"Jay Gold of Golden Light Palace has been killed... Everyone in Golden Light Palace has been annihilated!"

This message was learned by Wyatt Barnes from the Thirteenth Prince, Crue Dragonsmith, who came to Wyatt Barnes immediately after receiving the news, to inform him of the matter.

The reason he came to Wyatt Barnes was because Wyatt and Leilany had had some conflicts with Golden Light Palace in the past.

"Even those people from Golden Light Palace in our palace were all killed... It can be concluded that the one who made the move is at least a peer of the Immortal Lord, and very likely not just an ordinary Immortal Lord."

Before the stone table, Crue Dragonsmith looked at Wyatt Barnes seated opposite him and exclaimed.

"Golden Light Palace... dared to provoke even an Immortal Lord level expert?"

Wyatt Barnes’s brows lifted, seemingly somewhat surprised.

Wyatt’s apparent surprise was not feigned.

While Wyatt was not surprised that Crue Dragonsmith speculated that a powerhouse of Immortal Lord level was behind it,

he was quite surprised at the annihilation of Golden Light Palace.

He hadn’t anticipated:

The Tai Yi Immortal Sect’s Left Protector, Cain Iron, made such a decisive and ruthless move, directly wiping out the entire Golden Light Palace.

Even those from Golden Light Palace inside the royal palace were killed.
