Legend of Wyatt

"Golden Buddha ’George Thorn’?!"

"He... wasn’t he dead three thousand years ago? How is he still alive now? Could it be false news?"

"It must be false news... otherwise, how could he appear in the City of Grand Unity today?"

"It seems that the City of Grand Unity Immortal Sect places great importance on this ’Desolate Territory Grand Competition’... otherwise, how would the Golden Buddha ’George Thorn’ who has been hidden for many years step out in person?"

...

As the group from the City of Grand Unity Immortal Sect entered the City of Grand Unity, the news that the leader of the group was the former Sect Leader of the City of Grand Unity Immortal Sect, the Golden Buddha ’George Thorn’, swept through the entire City of Grand Unity like a hurricane.

Instantly, the entire City of Grand Unity was shaken.

After all, in the eyes of the vast majority, the former Sect Leader of the City of Grand Unity Immortal Sect, the Golden Buddha ’George Thorn’, had long been dead for many years.

And now, suddenly appearing before the public, how could it not be shocking?

"George Thorn? He... he actually came in person?"

"What’s going on? Even if the Desolate Territory Grand Competition involves the ’small world’ left by an Immortal King, does he really need to come personally?"

...

Unlike most people within the City of Grand Unity who were shocked by the news that George Thorn was still alive.

Certain informed high-level members of the City of Grand Unity Immortal Sect and Thousand Spiders Immortal Sect were shocked that George Thorn personally stepped forward.

They already knew that George Thorn was not dead.

They further knew:

George Thorn is currently the only ’Gossips Immortal Lord’ of the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect and the foremost expert of the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, the Guardian Deity of the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect.

Once this news spread throughout the City of Grand Unity, it quickly reached back to the City of Grand Unity Immortal Sect.

"George Thorn? He... he actually led the team himself?"

The Left Protector of the City of Grand Unity Immortal Sect, ’Cain Iron’, was stunned upon receiving the news via an Immortal Talisman that in this Desolate Territory Grand Competition, George Thorn from the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect led the team himself, and unconsciously exclaimed in surprise.

"George Thorn?"

Opposite Cain Iron, Wyatt Barnes looked at him with a face full of confusion.

Today, Cain Iron happened to have business with Wyatt Barnes.

"He is the ’Gossips Immortal Lord’ of the City of Grand Unity Immortal Sect!"

Coming back to his senses, seeing Wyatt Barnes looking at him with confusion, Cain Iron promptly responded.

"Gossips Immortal Lord?!"

Almost the moment Cain Iron’s words fell, Wyatt Barnes’s pupils involuntarily shrank sharply, then he asked, "Protector Iron, you said the Gossips Immortal Lord of the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect personally led the team... what do you mean?"

"Isn’t the Desolate Territory Grand Competition about to start? After the Thousand Spiders Immortal Sect arrived, the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect’s team also came..."

Cain Iron paused a bit at this point before continuing, "Only, the person leading the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect this time is George Thorn!"

"The Gossips Immortal Lord leading the team in person?"

Upon hearing Cain Iron’s words, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but be taken aback, then speculated, "Could it be, the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect thinks... having the Gossips Immortal Lord lead the team could help them recruit more outstanding young talents through the Desolate Territory Grand Competition?"

"Impossible!"

Cain Iron shook his head, "The three Immortal Sects have already reached a consensus for this Desolate Territory Grand Competition... The outstanding ones in the competition will be evenly split among the three Immortal Sects to ensure fairness in entering the small world left by the Immortal King."

"So what if the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect has a Gossips Immortal Lord leading the team this time? Does the City of Grand Unity Immortal Sect not have a Gossips Immortal Lord? Does the Thousand Spiders Immortal Sect not have a Gossips Immortal Lord?"

Saying this, Cain Iron sneered and continued, "Moreover, in the City of Grand Unity Immortal Sect, there’s also a ’King Grade Immortal Artifact’, in the hands of the Grandmaster... the Grandmaster, with the King Grade Immortal Artifact in hand, can even make George Thorn avoid its edge!"

When mentioning the Gossips Immortal Lord of the City of Grand Unity Immortal Sect, that is, the ’Grandmaster of Grand Unity’, Cain Iron’s face was filled with confidence, his gaze deep inside revealed a glowing fervor.

"Then why would he still come personally?"

Wyatt Barnes was puzzled.

"That’s also what’s puzzling to me."

Cain Iron frowned and said, "This Gossips Immortal Lord of the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, ’Cain Iron’, was actually the former Sect Leader of the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect... however, three thousand years ago, it was rumored that he had already died, and most people really believe he was dead. Only a few high-level members of the three Immortal Sects in the Desolate Territory know he is not dead."

"This time, his appearance in public also exposes that he didn’t die three thousand years ago... I always feel he wouldn’t expose himself just to lead a team for the Desolate Territory Grand Competition, it’s not that simple."

"He must have some agenda!"

Speaking to this point, Cain Iron’s tone was filled with certainty.

"Whenever something unusual happens, there must be a reason... I also think the appearance of George Thorn is not that simple."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

A person who faked death and hid for three thousand years suddenly appeared, and not at an occasion necessarily requiring his presence, indeed piqued curiosity.

"No matter what George Thorn exposes himself for... on the territory of the City of Grand Unity Immortal Sect, he better not try anything foolish!"

Cain Iron’s words carried a strong confidence in the City of Grand Unity Immortal Sect.

"Mm."

Wyatt Barnes could understand Cain Iron’s confidence.

After all, not only does the City of Grand Unity Immortal Sect have a Gossips Immortal Lord, but also a ’King Grade Immortal Artifact’ held by that Gossips Immortal Lord.

Throughout the entire Desolate Territory, among the Three Immortal Sects, only the Taichi Immortal Sect possesses a King Grade Immortal Artifact.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Cain Iron swiftly made a move, reaching out with lightning speed as if retrieving something from a bag.

At the same time, Wyatt Barnes clearly saw:

An Immortal Talisman in Cain Iron’s hand gradually disintegrate, eventually turning into dust and disappearing into the air.

"Communication Immortal Talisman."

With just one glance, Wyatt recognized it as a Communication Immortal Talisman.

After reviewing the talisman, Cain Iron immediately looked at Wyatt and said, "Alchemist Barnes, this Communication Immortal Talisman was sent to me by the Sect Leader... He said, the Supreme Elder of Qianzhu Immortal Sect wants to meet you."

"The Supreme Elder of Qianzhu Immortal Sect? Is she the ’Seven Star Immortal Lord’ leading the group from Qianzhu Immortal Sect in this Desolate Territory Competition?"

Wyatt raised an eyebrow.

"Yes! That’s her!"

Cain Iron nodded, "This time, the people from Qianzhu Immortal Sect who came to our Taichi Immortal Sect include her and another person... someone you should be quite familiar with, Alchemist Barnes."

"Who?"

Even though Cain Iron said that he should be familiar with that person, Wyatt instinctively asked without much thought.

"Annie Campbell!"

Cain Iron said.

"Annie Campbell?"

Upon hearing the name, Wyatt’s raised eyebrow slightly furrowed.

He had met this woman twice before.

The first time was on the streets of the Capital City of Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation. At that time, this woman told him about the arranged marriage Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect had planned for Milana Harrington, forcing him to seek out the mysterious young man with the surname Pei to help stop the marriage.

The second time was in the palace of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, where they exchanged glances, and Annie Campbell attempted to recruit him into Qianzhu Immortal Sect.

"What do they want with me?"

Wyatt asked.

He believed that by now, Annie Campbell undoubtedly knew about him becoming a Top-grade Alchemy Immortal Master, and even the Chief Alchemy Immortal Master of Taichi Immortal Sect.

Could it be that Annie Campbell still wanted to recruit him into Qianzhu Immortal Sect?

"The specific reason wasn’t mentioned in the Communication Immortal Talisman from the Sect Leader... The Sect Leader just asked me to inquire if Alchemist Barnes is willing to meet them. If Alchemist Barnes is unwilling, the Sect Leader instructed me to inform him, and he would directly refuse them."

Cain Iron said.

"I should go to see them... I’m also curious about what they want."

Wyatt said.

Although he could choose not to meet the two from Qianzhu Immortal Sect.

But his curiosity was undeniable:

What did those two want from him?

Usually, the place where the high-level members of Taichi Immortal Sect meet guests is primarily in one location.

That place is near the ’Main Isle’ where Wyatt currently is, on an Upper Immortal Isle, within a vast and resplendent mansion. The mansion has only one grand hall, with few furnishings inside, but each piece, when combined, radiates opulence.

When Wyatt and Cain Iron walked side by side into the hall, they instantly saw three figures standing in the grand hall.

Among them, two figures were not unfamiliar to him.

The Sect Leader of Taichi Immortal Sect, Daven Buckingham.

And Annie Campbell.

Besides these two ’acquaintances’, there was another unfamiliar figure, a young woman in a plain robe.

This young woman looked ordinary, but her whole body exuded an indescribable aura, which was very captivating. Standing there, she naturally drew others’ attention, making people look at her several times, finding her increasingly pleasing to the eye.

Even her seemingly ordinary appearance seemed much more agreeable in this moment.

"Is she the other Supreme Elder of Qianzhu Immortal Sect... Monica Willow?"

It wasn’t hard for Wyatt to guess the identity of the young woman in the plain robe.

In Qianzhu Immortal Sect, there were two Supreme Elders, both ’Seven Star Immortal Lords’. However, Qianzhu Immortal Sect’s current Sect Leader was only a ’Six Harmony Immortal Lord’, less powerful than the Sect Leaders of Taichi Immortal Sect and Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, the latter two also being ’Seven Star Immortal Lords’.

This was what Wyatt had learned before joining Taichi Immortal Sect.

Now, he also knew a few things about the Desolate Territory that only a few were aware of...

For instance, the former Sect Leader of Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, the Golden Buddha ’George Thorn’, had faked his death three thousand years ago, only to have recently become a Gossip Immortal Lord.

While rumors outside claimed that the Sect Leader of Qianzhu Immortal Sect was only a ’Six Harmony Immortal Lord’...

In fact, the Sect Leader of Qianzhu Immortal Sect had long since broken through and become a ’Seven Star Immortal Lord’, and her and Annie Campbell’s teacher, another Supreme Elder besides Monica Willow, had also advanced to become a ’Gossip Immortal Lord’.

However, these bits of news hadn’t been made public, albeit known by many.

And the young woman in the plain robe was indeed the other current ’Seven Star Immortal Lord’ in Qianzhu Immortal Sect besides the Sect Leader!
