Legend of Wyatt

"He’s actually a ’superior alchemist’?"

When Annie Campbell found out Wyatt Barnes was a superior alchemist, her heart was filled with shock.

At the same time, some of the confusion in her heart unraveled, "No wonder the Thirteenth Prince of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, Crue Dragonsmith, willingly gave up a Monarch-grade Immortal Artifact to exchange for that Top-grade Immortal Artifact pill furnace for him..."

"Turns out, he’s also a superior alchemist!"

In this moment, Annie Campbell’s gaze turned very complicated.

An under-hundred-year-old Daai Law Golden Immortal, who is also a superior alchemist...

It’s the first time she’s encountered such a ’phenomenon’!

At least, in all the people she’s come across in her life, or ever heard about, only Wyatt Barnes has managed to become both a ’Daai Law Golden Immortal’ and a ’superior alchemist’ at under a hundred years old.

"And he’s also revered as the ’chief alchemist’ by the Tai Yi Immortal Sect?"

"I heard from my master and senior sister that those three superior alchemists from the Tai Yi Immortal Sect are all very temperamental. Are they really willing to let an under-hundred-year-old superior alchemist be above them?"

Amidst the shock, Annie Campbell also learned from those around her about numerous ’small maneuvers’ the Thousand Spider Immortal Sect had been undertaking in secret.

"Annie, your senior sister has repeatedly sent people to privately contact those three superior alchemists from the Tai Yi Immortal Sect, trying to take advantage of their dissatisfaction with the Tai Yi Immortal Sect for acknowledging Wyatt Barnes as the ’chief alchemist,’ and recruit them into our Thousand Spider Immortal Sect..."

The person beside Annie Campbell was a young woman in a plain robe, average-looking, but the aura she exuded was quite attractive, giving a very pleasant feeling.

"But, they were firmly rejected, leaving no room for negotiation!"

"Before, your senior sister had also sent people to privately contact them to try to have them switch allegiance to our Thousand Spider Immortal Sect... But their attitude wasn’t nearly as firm as it is now."

The plain-robed woman said.

"How can this be?"

Annie Campbell asked, puzzled.

What exactly caused such a change in the attitude of those three alchemists from the Tai Yi Immortal Sect?

If something unusual happens, there must be something behind it!

She firmly believed this.

"We also found it strange, why this happened... Initially, we thought Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect had gotten ahead of us and found them a new master, which is why their attitude became so firm."

"But later, we found out... They didn’t go to Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect."

The plain-robed woman continued.

"My senior sister and I made many hypotheses about this and eventually concluded unanimously: it’s because of that ’chief alchemist’ from the Tai Yi Immortal Sect that those three superior alchemists’ attitude became so firm."

As she spoke, the plain-robed woman’s expression became solemn.

"This... How is this possible?!"

"The Tai Yi Immortal Sect added a chief alchemist, shouldn’t they be dissatisfied and think about leaving the Tai Yi Immortal Sect?"

Annie Campbell found it difficult to comprehend.

"In theory, yes... But, if those three superior alchemists can gain any benefits from the Tai Yi Immortal Sect’s chief alchemist, maybe he promised them something..."

"Like some valuable pill formulas or such..."

The plain-robed woman said.

"If that’s the case... It’s actually quite possible."

Annie Campbell, upon hearing this, silently pondered for a while, then nodded.

"Annie, I heard you’ve had contact with the chief alchemist of the Tai Yi Immortal Sect?"

The plain-robed woman asked.

"Yes, aunt."

Annie Campbell nodded.

The plain-robed woman was one of only two ’Seven Stars Immortal Lords’ in the Thousand Spider Immortal Sect, aside from the former Sect Leader of the Thousand Spider Immortal Sect.

The contemporary Sect Leader of the Thousand Spider Immortal Sect is currently just a ’Six Directions Immortal Lord.’

The senior sister frequently mentioned by the plain-robed woman was precisely the current Sect Leader of the Thousand Spider Immortal Sect.

This time, as the City of Grand Unity held the ’Wilderness Competition,’ the three Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory aimed to recruit disciples from those who stood out in the competition, allowing them to enter a ’small world’ left by an Immortal King expert, to collect various treasures left by the Immortal King for the Sect.

Therefore, the Thousand Spider Immortal Sect was very serious about this, sending one of its only two ’Seven Stars Immortal Lords.’

"I heard he humiliated your fourth sister back then, but in the end, you didn’t hold it against him?"

The plain-robed woman asked.

"Yes."

Annie Campbell nodded.

"According to rumors outside, you’ve discovered his extraordinary background... But, as far as I know, even with your investigation, you haven’t found anything about his background. In fact, he was once chased by a senior of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect and only escaped using a ’Void Shadow Escape Talisman.’"

"But, if you’re speculating about his extraordinary background due to his use of the Void Shadow Escape Talisman, that’s understandable."

"Still, even if that’s the case, if you want to stand up for your fourth sister, you can completely inform the experts from the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect to deal with him, without personally taking action or using the Thousand Spider Immortal Sect’s power."

"But, you didn’t."

"As far as I know... you’re still a close friend with that talented disciple ’Milana Harrington’ of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, right?"

"Although I don’t know why the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect wants to kill him, the fact that they’ve sent a core elder indicates that he’s made it onto their ’blacklist’... If you disclose his whereabouts to Milana Harrington, and she reports it to the sect leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, it must be a great merit for Milana Harrington, right?"

"And yet... you still didn’t do it."

"I want to know... why?"

The woman’s gaze fell on Annie Campbell, and her keen eyes seemed to see through everything.

"Aunt, I truly don’t know his background."

Facing the woman’s gaze, Annie Campbell felt guilty and honestly explained why she hadn’t sought revenge for her sister by finding Wyatt Barnes:

"But, the reason I haven’t dealt with him as you suggested is because of my friend ’Milana Harrington’."

"Milana Harrington asked me to look after him when possible, and not let the strong figures from Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect who are tracking him kill him... If possible, lend a helping hand at critical moments."

Annie Campbell said truthfully.

"Milana Harrington asked you to look after him?"

"Isn’t he being hunted by the core elder of Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect?"

The woman asked, puzzled.

"I don’t really know... but, the reason why I didn’t take action against him or inform Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect about his whereabouts is indeed because of this."

Annie Campbell said.

Although Annie Campbell spoke truthfully about some matters.

Yet, there were things she didn’t mention.

Like the complex relationship between Wyatt Barnes and Milana Harrington.

Of course, the reason she didn’t speak wasn’t for Wyatt Barnes, but more for her sister Milana Harrington’s sake.

...

As the ’Desolate Territory Contest’ approached, the entire City of Grand Unity became lively.

On this day, suddenly, the East City gate of the City of Grand Unity quieted down, and even passers-by halted their steps.

"It seems... it’s people from the Dragon Warrior Sect!"

The group’s gaze traveled through the void and landed on the newcomers outside the East City gate.

Simply because, the newcomers were too striking.

A group of over twenty people moved with dragon-like steps, and around their bodies, a layer of golden light flickered. Upon closer inspection, it was further noted:

The golden light surrounding their bodies gathered into a giant golden Buddha’s shadow, exceptionally conspicuous, and the giant Buddha’s shadow constantly emitted powerful auras that were terrifying.

Moments later, more people’s gazes shifted simultaneously to the leader among the newcomers, a bald monk...

The bald monk was tall and burly, with nine scars on his head, clad in a golden robe, with a saber and a wine gourd hanging at his waist.

The most eye-catching thing was this bald monk’s face, full of rough features, his mere expressions could scare a three-year-old child into tears.

And the giant Buddha shadow enveloping over twenty people, the faint, intermittent golden light emanating from them revealed the ’source’...

The giant Buddha shadow originated from this bald monk.

"He... he’s Golden Buddha ’George Thorn’?!"

Suddenly, an unknown voice gasped at the East City gate of the City of Grand Unity.

Immediately, apart from some confused people, more faces were filled with astonishment and disbelief, "Golden... Golden Buddha... George Thorn?!"

"Isn’t Golden Buddha ’George Thorn’ the former sect leader of Dragon Warrior Sect? Didn’t he fall three thousand years ago?"

"Yes... I’ve heard that three thousand years ago, he went traveling and dueled with a powerful loose cultivator, and both perished together. Back then, the Desolate Territory was in quite an uproar over this."

"He hasn’t died?"

"This George Thorn, three thousand years ago, was already a ’Seven Stars Immortal Lord’... If he hasn’t died, doesn’t that mean Dragon Warrior Sect now has a third ’Seven Stars Immortal Lord’?"

...

As people began to speculate about the identity of the rough-faced bald monk, more people gasped, looking incredulously at the approaching bald monk.

"He truly is Golden Buddha ’George Thorn’! Five thousand years ago, I caught a glimpse of him from afar... it is indeed him!"

With an elderly man speaking up, it confirmed the bald monk’s ’identity’ further.

"If he is Golden Buddha, then even if he’s still a ’Seven Stars Immortal Lord’ now, his strength is far beyond that of the two Seven Stars Immortal Lords of Dragon Warrior Sect... Back then, those two failed to defeat him even when they joined forces!"

Outside the East City gate of the City of Grand Unity, as people whispered, they seemed to confirm the newcomer’s identity to some extent.

However, no one believed he’d already achieved ’Gossips Immortal Lord’!

Because, subconsciously they felt:

If the Dragon Warrior Sect had a Gossips Immortal Lord, they would have already swallowed up the Taiyi Immortal Sect and the Thousand Spiders Immortal Sect.

The latter wouldn’t have survived until now.
