Chapter 2778: I’m Very Disappointed in the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect
As Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation is a superior immortal kingdom, and the emperor leads the delegation, the treatment provided by Grand Unity Immortal Sect to the visitors from Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation is unmatched by mid-grade or lower-grade immortal nations.
Take the current residence for the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s delegation, for primjer. Its area is vast, with even the front yard being as large as the entire estate allocated to the lower-grade celestial nations.
However, despite such a large front yard, it now lies in shambles, as if having just suffered a storm-like natural disaster. The brick-paved ground and all flowers, grass, and trees in the yard have been completely upheaved, leaving chaos everywhere.
"Is this the power of an Immortal Lord?"
"According to Lewis Bell, the Protector of Thousand Spider Immortal Sect, both he and Elder Jorge Yellow from Grand Unity Immortal Sect, as well as Elder Jack Thorn from Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, seem to be ’Two Apparent Immortal Lords’!"
"An Immortal Lord is subdivided into nine realms, with ’One Element Immortal Lord’ being the weakest... However, a Two Apparent Immortal Lord is superior to a One Element Immortal Lord, an even more powerful existence!"
"If they are all Two Apparent Immortal Lords, causing such commotion is reasonable."
"Have you not noticed... although we are in their battle’s epicenter, the aftermath of their power collision intentionally avoided us?"
"It seems to be the case indeed."
...
Amidst the rampant chaos in the front yard, the delegation from Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation couldn’t help but rise to dodge, and while evading, they noticed:
The aftermath of power from the three Immortal Lords did not affect any of them.
The aftermath of power seemed to intentionally avoid them.
Indeed, Jorge Yellow, Lewis Bell, and Jack Thorn, during their clash, took care to avoid affecting the delegation from Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation.
One reason was that they did not wish to harm the lady they all desired to possess.
Another reason was they equally did not want to harm the young warriors under a century old from Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, as they came for the ’Desolate Territory Competitive Event’. If mishaps occurred by their hands, they’d have difficulty explaining to their Sect Leader.
Amidst the crowd’s discussion, a downward glance revealed:
Where they stood previously, the entire front yard had fallen under a dusty shroud, which gradually dispersed moments later.
Simultaneously, the ruined front yard clearly appeared before them.
"This..."
Upon witnessing the front yard entirely transformed into ruins, most from Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, including Emperor ’Leif Dragonsmith’, were stunned.
None of them expected that the three Immortal Lords would, with just one strike, turn the front yard of this estate into such a state.
The destructiveness is astonishing, terrifying!
Wyatt Barnes, Leilany, and the other two stood side by side in the void, also gazing downward.
Unlike Crue Dragonsmith, Ares Cooper, and Francis Bushell, whose faces were replete with solemnity, Wyatt looked at the ruins below with unparalleled calmness.
Regarding Leilany beside him, her arm linked in his, she equally exhibited calmness, as if what unfolded before her hardly surprised her.
"Three Talent Immortal Lord?"
Wyatt’s gaze quickly fell upon the tall figure amidst the ruins.
The figure was none other than Elder Jack Thorn of Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect.
He stood in his original spot, and despite the entire front yard turning to ruins, where he stood remained unchanged, as if the force impact did not affect him at all.
A few hundred meters ahead, on the opposite side of the front yard, two disheveled and slightly embarrassed figures stood, none other than Elder Jorge Yellow of Grand Unity Immortal Sect and Protector Lewis Bell of Thousand Spider Immortal Sect.
"Puh!!"
"Ah—"
As if agreed upon, their bodies twitched violently before simultaneously spewing a mouthful of stagnant blood. Once the blood exited their mouths, their faces turned sheet-white, devoid of a trace of color.
Moments later, as if agreed upon, Jorge Yellow and Lewis Bell regained their breath and simultaneously raised their heads to look at Jack Thorn standing hundreds of meters away, shouting out in astonishment with faces full of fear:
"Jack Thorn, you’ve actually made a breakthrough to become a ’Three Talent Immortal Lord’?!"
The two shouted in unison, as if rehearsed beforehand.
"Three Talent Immortal Lord?!"
And as their shouts rang out, everyone present, except Wyatt and Leilany who remained unfazed, had their expressions turn solemn in an instant.
Three Talent Immortal Lord!
That is a being that ranks above both One Element Immortal Lord and Two Apparent Immortal Lord, a distinguished figure among Immortal Lords.
Even within any of the three major immortal sects in Desolate Territory, the number of Three Talent Immortal Lords and above does not exceed twenty...
"Listening to Elder Jorge Yellow of Grand Unity Immortal Sect and Protector Lewis Bell of Thousand Spider Immortal Sect... it’s evident that Elder Jack Thorn from Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect recently broke through to become a ’Three Talent Immortal Lord’!"
Many realized this fact.
"No wonder Elder Jack was so confident just now, claiming he would take the beauty for himself... Turns out, he’s a Tri-Talent Immortal Lord! Whereas Elder Jorge and Protector Lewis are only Dual-Yi Immortal Lords, they naturally can’t compete with him."
"It seems... today, that beauty is destined to fall into the hands of Elder Jack."
...
Many within the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation whispered among themselves, their gazes occasionally falling upon Leilany beside Wyatt Barnes, with a hint of pity in their eyes.
It was as if they were already witnessing the scene of Leilany falling into Jack’s clutches.
"You two... still want to compete with me?"
Under the public eye, Jack glanced calmly at Jorge and Lewis and asked.
Upon hearing this, Jorge and Lewis exchanged a glance, their faces darkening in an instant, yet neither uttered a word.
Because they knew that since Jack had already broken through to become a Tri-Talent Immortal Lord, even if they joined forces, they wouldn’t stand a chance. So even if they wanted to contend, they were powerless and could only watch helplessly as Jack took away the beauty they longed for.
"Haha... You two, I’ll take the beauty first!"
Seeing Jorge and Lewis remain silent, Jack laughed heartily, and then soared into the air, his entire being akin to a falcon, flying towards the direction where Leilany was, as if riding the wind and clouds.
His speed was neither fast nor slow, continually drawing the attention of the crowd present.
Among the party from the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, those aware of Wyatt Barnes’ unusual background, including Emperor Leif Dragonsmith, occasionally glanced at Wyatt.
They all wanted to see:
In such a situation, could Wyatt Barnes protect the woman beside him?
In their view:
At this moment, if Wyatt wanted to protect the woman beside him, he likely had no choice but to reveal his identity and rely on his strong backing to deter Jack!
After all, Jack was a Tri-Talent Immortal Lord, with strength far beyond his comparison.
Woosh!
Just as Jack approached Leilany, about to reach her, a purple figure suddenly appeared in front of Leilany, shielding her and blocking Jack’s unabashed gaze.
This also caused Jack’s expression to darken instantly.
"Boy, you’re courting death!"
Suddenly, a cold gleam shot from Jack’s eyes, and with the Immortal Origin Force surging around him, it seemed he intended to kill Wyatt Barnes, who was protecting Leilany.
"I’ll give you a chance..."
Just as killing intent surged in Jack’s eyes, seemingly ready to strike at any moment, Wyatt looked calmly at Jack, speaking unhurriedly, "In three breaths, get out of my sight... I can overlook today’s matter!"
"Otherwise..."
Before Wyatt could finish, he was interrupted by Jack’s mocking laughter:
"Otherwise, what?"
Jack sneered at Wyatt, "A mere ant from the Immortal Kingdom of the Desolate Territory dares to bark orders at me, telling me to scram? Today, if this ant doesn’t die, I, Jack, need not continue to stand in this vast Desolate Territory!"
As his words fell, the Immortal Origin Force around Jack surged, transforming into a giant beast, its bloody maw ready to swallow Wyatt Barnes whole at any moment!
"As the saying goes, ’Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes’... I must say, your existence makes me very disappointed in the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect."
Wyatt glanced at Jack indifferently and remarked unhurriedly.
After speaking, he looked sideways at Crue Dragonsmith beside him and said, "Thirteenth Prince, I may not be able to keep our pact to join the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect... However, your ’goal,’ even if I don’t enter the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, I will help you achieve it! You can be assured of that."
Only Crue Dragonsmith understood Wyatt’s words.
The implication of Wyatt’s words was none other than:
Even if he doesn’t join the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, he will help Crue Dragonsmith ascend to the throne of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation!
Before Crue Dragonsmith could respond to Wyatt, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded out of thin air:
"Hahahaha..."
As the Immortal Origin Force surged around Jack, he couldn’t help but laugh as if he had heard the funniest joke ever. At the same time, when he looked at Wyatt again, it was as if he were looking at an idiot.
"Disappointed with the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect?"
"Not joining the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect?"
After a while, Jack stopped laughing and looked at Wyatt with ridicule, "Do you think, my Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect is so easily accessible to anyone who wishes to enter?"
"Boy, I’ve changed my mind... I initially planned to give you a quick death. But now, for indirectly insulting my Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, I must torment you before you die, making you long for death but unable to die!"
