Legend of Wyatt

"Why does this Dragon Martial Immortal Sect’s Gossips Immortal Lord look like he wants to eat me?"

"I...seems like it’s the first time I’ve seen him, right?"

After noticing the extremely cold and murderous gaze from George Thorn, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but feel a bit confused, unable to comprehend why George Thorn was so hostile towards him after his self-introduction.

It was as if there was a deep-seated hatred between them.

However, after a moment, the murderous intent in George Thorn’s eyes disappeared completely, and the pressure enveloping Wyatt Barnes also vanished with it.

After all, he was a Gossips Immortal Lord, and the erupting murderous intent, for Wyatt Barnes who was merely a ’Daai Law Golden Immortal,’ was also a tremendous pressure.

At the same time, the Sect Leader of Taiyi Immortal Sect, ’Daven Buckingham,’ and the Left Protector of Taiyi Immortal Sect, ’Cain Iron,’ who were respectfully bowing to George Thorn, also stood up. They hadn’t noticed the murderous intent that George Thorn had aimed at Wyatt Barnes earlier.

Although they heard George Thorn’s voice with a slightly cold tone, they only thought that George Thorn spoke that way naturally and didn’t suspect anything else.

"This George Thorn is the most powerful figure in the Dragon Martial Immortal Sect... Why is he so hostile towards me upon our first meeting?"

"I don’t think I’ve ever offended him, right?"

"Could it be he mistook me for someone else?"

Although George Thorn quickly retracted the murderous intent from his eyes, the pressure that the previous murderous intent from George Thorn imposed on Wyatt Barnes was something he couldn’t forget for a long time.

At that time, the pressure descended on him like a mountain, pressing him to the point of suffocation...

Now, seeing George Thorn return to normal, Wyatt Barnes assumed it was merely a case of mistaken identity.

But, is it really the case that George Thorn has mistaken him for someone else?

"Thorn, in the past, I didn’t know of your existence and failed my duty as a father, that’s my fault... But, I promise you that I will avenge you, slay Wyatt Barnes, Cain Iron, and that femme fatale!"

After George Thorn’s expression and gaze returned to normal, he muttered to himself again in his heart.

Neither Wyatt Barnes nor Cain Iron could ever imagine:

That Jack Thorn, the former elder of Dragon Martial Immortal Sect who died at Cain Iron’s hand because of Wyatt Barnes, turned out to be the biological son of George Thorn, the previous Sect Leader of Dragon Martial Immortal Sect!

Cain Iron didn’t notice the hostility targeted at him by George Thorn, but Wyatt Barnes did notice the instant hostility directed at him by George Thorn.

Yet, even so, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t think:

That the reason behind George Thorn’s animosity was that Jack Thorn died at Cain Iron’s hands because of him...

Even if someone told Wyatt Barnes that Jack Thorn was George Thorn’s biological son, he wouldn’t believe it either.

If Jack Thorn were truly George Thorn’s biological son, then even with a hundred borrowed courage, Cain Iron wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on Jack Thorn!

Wyatt Barnes also couldn’t imagine:

Not only did Cain Iron not know that Jack Thorn was George Thorn’s biological son, but even George Thorn himself only learned recently that he had a biological son, who was killed!

About five thousand years ago, George Thorn once spent a night with a maidservant serving him in Dragon Martial Immortal Sect, and later, the maidservant became pregnant, but dared not bring the matter up to George Thorn.

Because, with George Thorn’s status and position at the time, if it were known that he had an illegitimate child with a maidservant, it would undoubtedly become a great scandal in the Desolate Territory!

Additionally, George Thorn had a wife who was very jealous, and if she discovered George Thorn had an illegitimate child, she certainly wouldn’t spare that child.

Under such circumstances, the maidservant left Dragon Martial Immortal Sect and gave birth to a son on her own outside, who was none other than ’Jack Thorn.’

Jack Thorn inherited George Thorn’s talent and quickly made a name for himself upon reaching adulthood, at his mother’s instruction, he joined the Dragon Martial Immortal Sect...

Later, as Jack Thorn grew and rose to prominence, he even became an elder of Dragon Martial Immortal Sect, learning many of its secrets. He knew the previous Sect Leader of Dragon Martial Immortal Sect wasn’t dead and was secretly protecting the sect all along.

But even at the moment he was killed by Cain Iron, he never knew:

The Guardian Deity-like ’Elder Ancestor’ of their Dragon Martial Immortal Sect was actually his biological father!

A few days ago, when Jack Thorn’s mother learned of Jack Thorn’s death, she was devastated and, after making various arrangements to contact George Thorn, informed him of the existence of ’Jack Thorn,’ and committed suicide in front of George Thorn to prove her sincerity.

As the Elder Ancestor of Dragon Martial Immortal Sect, George Thorn naturally wouldn’t readily believe he had a biological son.

But, after conducting a thorough investigation, he confirmed:

Jack Thorn was indeed his biological son!

Throughout his life, George Thorn had married the daughter of a Sect elder in his early years. His wife was barren and kept a tight leash on him, preventing him from remarrying, so he had no offspring.

Since his life was ensured as long as he wasn’t killed, he wasn’t in a hurry to have offspring even though his wife couldn’t control him anymore.

But when he found out he had a biological son who was also killed, he was instantly furious!

Not having a son would be one thing.

But having a son and having him killed, how could he not be wrathful?

"Let’s go!"

Under the astonished gazes of Wyatt Barnes, Daven Buckingham, and Cain Iron, George Thorn took a calm glance at them before turning around and leaving with the people behind him.

He came quickly and left just as swiftly.

Leaving only Wyatt Barnes and the others looking at each other in confusion, completely puzzled by why George Thorn came and left so suddenly...

"Could it be he had something important and had to leave first?"

"Why did he come?"

After exchanging a glance, Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron turned their gazes back to the equally baffled Wyatt Barnes.

"Alchemist Barnes, I keep thinking that George Thorn came this time, and it’s very likely he came for you... Did he just try to recruit you through sound transmission, wanting you to transfer to the Dragon Wu Immortal Sect?"

Daven Buckingham looked at Wyatt Barnes and asked, "And you rejected him through sound transmission?"

In Daven Buckingham’s view, only this could explain why George Thorn came suddenly and left even more suddenly.

Cain Iron also looked at Wyatt Barnes.

His thoughts were similar to Daven’s.

"No."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head and said, "There was no interaction between him and me."

"No interaction?"

Upon hearing Wyatt’s words, Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron exchanged a look, seeing confusion reflected in each other’s eyes.

If that’s the case, then why did George Thorn come?

"Could it be that George Thorn came to find the Elder Ancestor?"

Cain Iron speculated.

"Impossible!"

Daven Buckingham shook his head, "If he came to find the Elder Ancestor, he wouldn’t need to see us... He could go directly to the Elder Ancestor alone. The Bagua Immortal Lords can directly contact each other through Immortal Talismans."

"If not... then why did he come? Just to take a glance at us? Or perhaps... to take a glance at Alchemist Barnes?"

Cain Iron became even more puzzled.

"That’s possible... After all, a ’Daai Law Golden Immortal’ and ’Top-grade Alchemist’ under a hundred years old has never appeared in the Desolate Territory."

Daven Buckingham nodded.

"Sect Leader, Protector Iron..."

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes, who had been staring at the direction George Thorn left, seemingly thinking about something, suddenly looked at Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron and asked:

"This Bagua Immortal Lord ’George Thorn’ from Dragon Wu Immortal Sect and the former elder who died at Protector Iron’s hands are both surnamed ’Thorn’... Is there any relation between the two?"

Wyatt Barnes asked this because when George Thorn turned to leave, his side profile gave Wyatt a familiar feeling.

After thinking carefully for a while, he realized that the side profile was quite similar to the late elder ’Jack Thorn’ from Dragon Wu Immortal Sect who died at Protector Iron’s hands.

"Alchemist Barnes, why do you ask this?"

Upon hearing Wyatt’s inquiry, both Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron were taken aback, completely unaware of why Wyatt asked this.

"Because I feel their side profiles are somewhat similar... and they’re both surnamed ’Thorn’!"

Wyatt Barnes stated truthfully.

If Jack Thorn had any close relations with George Thorn, then George Thorn’s hostility towards him would be understandable.

After all, Jack Thorn died because of Wyatt, at Cain Iron’s hands.

"Alchemist Barnes, you are overthinking."

Cain Iron shook his head, "That Jack Thorn and George Thorn can’t have any relation... If they did, I wouldn’t have been able to kill him!"

"After all, George Thorn is not only the Elder Ancestor of Dragon Wu Immortal Sect, but also a ’Bagua Immortal Lord’!"

Cain Iron said.

"Indeed."

Daven Buckingham nodded in agreement, "If Jack Thorn had any relation to George Thorn, we would certainly know... Also, if Jack Thorn were truly a descendant of George Thorn, George Thorn wouldn’t have just walked away after a glance."

"His temperament... was famously fiery back then!"

Daven Buckingham said.

"Perhaps it’s just a coincidence."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, feeling that Cain Iron and Daven had made a valid point.

On the other side.

"Elder Ancestor, we, on behalf of everyone in the sect, thank you for your patience!"

Outside the Taiyi Immortal Sect quarters, George Thorn and two people behind him had just left the Taiyi Immortal Sect quarters when the two immediately bowed to him in gratitude."

Evidently, they also knew something.

"You don’t need to thank me... I am a person of the Dragon Wu Immortal Sect and was the sect leader of the previous generation. Though I am anxious to avenge my son whom I have never acknowledged, I won’t risk the sect’s grand plan by rashly seeking revenge."

George Thorn said indifferently.

"Rest assured, Elder Ancestor... In the future, once the sect’s grand plan succeeds, we’ll definitely let you personally send Cain Iron and Wyatt Barnes on their way!"

One of the two promised.

"It won’t just be those two that I want to kill with my own hands... There’s also that femme fatale dressed in white!"

"She is the instigator!"

As George Thorn spoke again, the murderous intent in his eyes grew exceedingly intense.
