Legend of Wyatt

In the Yunyan Immortal Kingdom, the Sixth Prince, "Damon Stone," despite being hedonistic and having a disreputable conduct, was deeply loved by the Yunyan Immortal Kingdom’s emperor because of his birth mother and his witty tongue.

Moreover, since Damon Stone wasn’t interested in the position of the next emperor of the Yunyan Immortal Kingdom, he didn’t have any conflicts with the other princes and maintained a good relationship with them.

However, today, on the fifth day of Yunyan Immortal Kingdom’s entourage’s arrival at "City of Grand Unity," Damon Stone’s Soul Bead suddenly shattered.

"The Sixth Prince is... dead!"

Upon the shattering of Damon Stone’s Soul Bead, a sudden tumult arose in the residence assigned to the Yunyan Immortal Kingdom’s entourage by the Grand Unity Celestial Sect.

Not only was the Yunyan Immortal Kingdom’s emperor furious, but even the other princes who had traveled with the entourage were enraged!

The emperor of Yunyan Immortal Kingdom was irate and immediately ordered a thorough investigation into the matter of the Sixth Prince’s death.

Suddenly, all the princes of the Yunyan Immortal Kingdom and members of various royal mansions became busy... With the collaborative efforts of the princes united by a common enemy, they quickly uncovered the "cause" of the Sixth Prince’s death.

"The death of the Sixth Prince is related to the portrait of the perfect woman he’s been searching for over the years!"

"Back then, Lux Nangle presented a floating shadow orb to the Sixth Prince... The mirrored image displayed by the floating shadow orb contained two people; one was the woman from the portrait sought after by the Sixth Prince for many years, and the image nearly everyone in the Yunyan Immortal Kingdom has seen. The other person was a young man."

"Before the incident with the Sixth Prince, according to those who didn’t follow him out, someone saw the young man in the mirrored image of the floating shadow orb and reported it to the Sixth Prince. Thereafter, the Sixth Prince left with Lux Nangle."

"Some people witnessed the Sixth Prince, Lux Nangle, and others being killed on the streets of City of Grand Unity... The person who killed the trio was a woman clothed in white, wearing a gauze hat and veil."

"That woman in white is suspected to be the woman from the portrait... Because at that time, Lux Nangle recognized the young man in purple beside the woman in white as the young man from the floating shadow orb’s past mirrored image."

...

Though Yunyan Immortal Kingdom is only a medium-sized Immortal Kingdom, if united, they can quickly ascertain many useful details.

"The person who killed Old Six turns out to be someone close to the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s Thirteenth Prince? At the time, the Ninth Prince of Mystic Wave Immortal Nation tried to protect Old Six but was outmatched by the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s Thirteenth Prince’s followers. His own strength was also inferior to the woman in white, hence Old Six was killed?"

After understanding the sequence of events, the Yunyan Immortal Kingdom’s emperor, "Serigo Cloud," wore a particularly ugly expression, his eyes shot with chilling beams, as though he were ready to swallow someone whole.

"Your Majesty, regarding this matter... What should we do?"

Below Serigo Cloud’s throne stood several individuals, one of whom looked at Serigo Cloud with apprehensive expression, asking.

"What can be done? What should be done?"

Serigo Cloud glared at the questioner and coldly asked, "Didn’t you hear that the person is related to the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s Thirteenth Prince? Didn’t you hear that even the Ninth Prince of Mystic Wave Immortal Nation couldn’t handle them? What do you think... can we do?"

Facing Serigo Cloud’s question, the person remained silent.

Indeed.

That person clearly isn’t someone easily provoked.

In a courtyard not far from the grand hall where Serigo Cloud was, Ares Cooper, King Cooper’s nephew from the King Cooper Mansion, met "Kaison Truman," who was selected by the mansion to participate in the Desolate Territory great contest.

"Kaison, are you looking for me for something?"

Ares Cooper asked bluntly.

Although he and Kaison Truman didn’t have much interaction, they belonged to the King Cooper Mansion, sharing conversations along the journey.

"Ares Cooper, from what I know... you have a good relationship with Wyatt Barnes?"

Kaison Truman asked.

"Wyatt Barnes?!"

Almost as soon as Kaison Truman finished speaking, Ares Cooper’s eyes couldn’t help but narrow with urgency, "Kaison, do you... do you mean you have news about Wyatt Barnes?"

Since Wyatt Barnes managed to flee using the "Void Escape Talisman," Ares Cooper was deeply worried about his safety.

Now, hearing Kaison Truman mention Wyatt Barnes, Ares Cooper naturally lost composure.

"Do you know... the now renowned companions of the white-clad woman who killed the Sixth Prince and Lux Nangle?"

Kaison Truman didn’t rush to answer Ares Cooper, instead asking thus.

"I know."

Ares Cooper nodded, "It’s said that the young man accompanying her is the same young man depicted in the floating shadow orb presented to the Sixth Prince years ago... This is precisely why the Sixth Prince went to find him and the woman in white."

"Many claim... the woman in white wearing a gauze hat and veil beside the young man is the very person sought by the Sixth Prince within our Yunyan Immortal Kingdom."

Ares Cooper explained.

"Do you know... that young man is ’Wyatt Barnes’?"

Kaison Truman asked once more.

"What?!"

"You... you mean... you say the young man beside the woman in white is Wyatt Barnes?!"

Once Kaison Truman’s words fell, Ares Cooper was completely bewildered.

Though he had never seen the young man beside the woman in white, the known details made it evident that the individual wasn’t ordinary.

First, the Thirteenth Prince of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation is very courteous to that person.

Secondly, the woman in white beside him possesses strength above the ’Love Rowan Upper Immortal’ and follows his every word.

And now, Kaison Truman tells him:

That person is ’Wyatt Barnes’!

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

After a while, Ares Cooper finally came back to his senses, and once he did, he kept shaking his head in disbelief at Kaison Truman’s words.

"Ares, when that woman in white killed the Sixth Prince and the others, I was there. At that time, I saw Wyatt Barnes."

Kaison Truman said with a serious expression.

Hearing Kaison Truman’s words, Ares fell silent.

Although this matter sounds somewhat unbelievable, since it involves Wyatt Barnes, he felt it might not be entirely impossible.

"I need to make a trip to the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s accommodations arranged for people from the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation."

In a flash of determination, Ares Cooper decided.

He needed to verify this matter and make sure Wyatt Barnes was indeed with the people of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation.

If he was, he could be at ease since his friends had been safe all these years.

Ares Cooper was just a member of a noble house under the Cloud Rock Immortal Nation but not the lord, merely the nephew of the lord.

With such a status, it wasn’t easy to come into contact with the Thirteenth Prince of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation.

However, through Ares Cooper’s persistent efforts, he managed to get in touch with Crue Dragonsmith, the Thirteenth Prince, and upon learning that the person wanting to see him was a friend of Wyatt Barnes, Crue Dragonsmith immediately agreed to meet Ares.

"Are you a friend of Brother Barnes?"

Crue Dragonsmith stared intently at Ares Cooper; he couldn’t recklessly bring someone to meet that Brother Barnes without confirming their identity.

Now, that Brother Barnes, in his eyes, was no longer just a ’hope’ for him to become the next emperor of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation.

As long as that Brother Barnes was willing to say a word when joining the Dragon Warrior Celestial Sect, he would absolutely become the next emperor of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation!

Because that Brother Barnes was not just a talented, strong young prodigy under a hundred years old but also a Top-grade Alchemist who could refine the ’Rowan Heaven Pill’!

"If the Brother Barnes you refer to, Thirteenth Prince, is named ’Wyatt Barnes’ and looks like this... then I can confirm he is my friend."

Ares Cooper immediately took out a painting and spread it open in front of Crue Dragonsmith.

In the painting, there was a handsome young man, with sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding extraordinary charm.

With just one glance, Crue Dragonsmith recognized:

This young man was none other than that Brother Barnes, Wyatt Barnes!

"May I know your name, brother?"

Seeing Ares Cooper take out the painting of Wyatt Barnes, Crue Dragonsmith immediately showed more courtesy, smiling as he asked.

"My name is ’Ares Cooper’.

In terms of background, Ares Cooper was far inferior to Crue Dragonsmith, so in front of the prince of an Upper Immortal Nation like Crue Dragonsmith, he dared not be disrespectful.

"Brother Ares, since you know Brother Barnes, let me take you to see him."

Crue Dragonsmith was very straightforward and frank.

As Crue Dragonsmith was about to take Ares Cooper to see Wyatt Barnes, an unexpected guest appeared in the courtyard where Wyatt Barnes resided.

This unexpected guest was none other than the Left Protector of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, Cain Iron!

"I heard that Protector Iron recently broke through to become a ’Seven Stars Immortal Lord’?"

Wyatt Barnes wasn’t surprised by the appearance of Cain Iron, as he knew the latter would eventually come to him.

"I didn’t expect Alchemist Barnes to be aware of this as well."

Cain Iron chuckled, speaking very politely to Wyatt Barnes, "Yes, a few days ago, I was fortunate enough to break through and achieve ’Seven Stars Immortal Lord’... From now on, our Taiyi Immortal Sect will reign supreme in the entire Desolate Territory!"

"If Alchemist Barnes ever wishes to change his mind and join our Taiyi Immortal Sect, we would welcome you at any time."

As he spoke, Cain Iron extended an olive branch to Wyatt Barnes once again.

"I have made up my mind. However, I do appreciate Protector Iron’s good will."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, politely declining.

Cain Iron, not surprised by this, raised his hand, took out a Storage Ring, and handed it to Wyatt Barnes, "Alchemist Barnes, in here are thirty-eight sets of materials needed to refine the Top-grade Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill’..."

"How many Rowan Heaven Pills these materials can yield depends entirely on your skill, Alchemist Barnes... Our Taiyi Immortal Sect only requires one hundred Rowan Heaven Pills. Any surplus will be your reward."

Cain Iron’s words were very forthright.
