Legend of Wyatt

Wyatt Barnes’ face was ominously dark.

Originally, upon learning that the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect hadn’t arranged a marriage for Milana Harrington, although he found Annie Campbell’s concerns frivolous, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly:

Though the sect hadn’t arranged a marriage for Milana Harrington, she was still facing a crisis.

The crisis from her obsessive master!

"Someone who once killed their own personally trained disciple they raised from childhood... killing another similar disciple would definitely not be beyond her reach!"

Precisely because of this consideration, Wyatt Barnes now had to worry about Milana Harrington’s safety.

"How long do you think the Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect can delay the matter of appointing an heir?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at Annie Campbell and asked.

"At most ten or eight years."

Annie Campbell sighed and said, "Because, when the time is ripe, appointing an heir has always been a tradition of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect... Even if the Sect Leader intends to delay, other senior leaders of the sect will not agree."

"Are you so sure... that the Sect Leader will help her delay?"

Wyatt Barnes squinted his eyes.

"Without a doubt!"

Annie Campbell said with great certainty, "Because, before she told me about you and her, she only told one person—the Sect Leader... That’s why the Sect Leader began to delay appointing an heir."

"Although she’s not a disciple of the Sect Leader, the Sect Leader treats her like a daughter... Milana told me she also regards the Sect Leader as a ’mother.’" Annie Campbell said.

"In that case... can’t the Sect Leader stop her master from harming her?"

Wyatt Barnes asked in a deep voice.

In Wyatt Barnes’ view, in the sect, the Sect Leader holds the highest status. Can she not prevent the members of the sect from dealing with Milana Harrington?

"She can’t."

Annie Campbell shook her head and said, "Not to mention that Milana’s master’s strength is no less than the Sect Leader’s... There’s also a ’Supreme Immortal Lord’ in the sect."

"The Supreme Immortal Lord is Milana’s master’s biological father!"

"So, considering the stakes, you should be able to understand."

Speaking later, Annie Campbell had a solemn expression.

Supreme Immortal Lord!

When Annie Campbell mentioned the ’Supreme Immortal Lord’, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but shudder.

Supreme Immortal Lord, a presence at the pinnacle of Immortal Lords, just a step away from the ’Immortal King’ level...

Previously, during a casual chat with that young man surnamed Pei, he heard:

In sects of that level like the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, there is generally at least one ’Supreme Immortal Lord’ stationed, with strength far surpassing the three immortal sects in the Desolate Territory.

"How many Supreme Immortal Lords does the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect have?"

Wyatt Barnes asked.

"Just one."

Annie Campbell added.

"One?"

Wyatt Barnes’ expression changed slightly.

He never expected:

Not only is Milana Harrington’s master strong, but her biological father is the only Supreme Immortal Lord in the sect!

Thus, that Supreme Immortal Lord is also the sect’s strongest person.

As the daughter of the sect’s strongest person, it’s imaginable that even the sect leader might hesitate to easily clash with Milana’s master.

Instantly, a strong sense of crisis enveloped Wyatt Barnes’ heart, lingering persistently.

"Wyatt Barnes."

Annie Campbell looked at Wyatt Barnes seriously and said, "Although I don’t know how you got the three top-grade alchemist immortal masters of the City of Grand Unity to acknowledge you as the ’chief alchemist immortal master’..."

"But, I think you have your ways. So, I hope if you have the capability, you’ll take her away from the sect before her master finds out she has lost her purity."

As Annie Campbell spoke, expectation gleamed in her eyes.

"You don’t need to tell me, I will do it."

Wyatt Barnes said.

"Your words put my mind at ease."

Annie Campbell breathed a sigh of relief.

"There’s one more thing..."

After a moment, as if remembering something, Annie Campbell said, "Wyatt Barnes, the reason I convinced my martial aunt to bring me here was because I told her I wanted another chance to try to persuade you to join our Thousand Spiders Immortal Sect."

"So... if my martial aunt mentions this when we return, please cooperate a little."

Annie Campbell reminded.

"Since you told your martial aunt that... then why not try persuading me to join your sect?"

Wyatt Barnes glanced deeply at Annie Campbell and asked.

"Even if I try... would you agree?"

Annie Campbell countered.

Faced with Annie Campbell’s question, Wyatt Barnes fell silent.

Indeed.

Even if Annie Campbell tried again to persuade him to join the Thousand Spiders Immortal Sect, he could not agree.

Because he needs to consider many factors, foremost among them are social relations and etiquette.

After staying outside the hall for a while, Wyatt Barnes and Annie Campbell returned to the hall.

Upon entering, Wyatt Barnes immediately noticed:

The eyes of Monica Willow, the Supreme Elder of the Thousand Spiders Immortal Sect, fell upon Annie Campbell, with a hint of expectation deep within her gaze.

When Annie Campbell detected Monica Willow’s gaze, she timely shook her head.

Instantly, Wyatt Barnes observed the expectation in Monica Willow’s gaze transform into disappointment.

"Sect Leader Buckingham, Protector Iron, Alchemist Barnes... I apologize for the intrusion."

Shortly after Annie Campbell returned to Monica Willow’s side, Monica Willow promptly bid farewell to the three persons, Wyatt Barnes alongside her, and prepared to leave the Grand Unity Immortal Sect.

Meanwhile, Cain Iron followed them to see Monica Willow and Annie Campbell off.

"Sect Leader, aren’t you curious... about Annie Campbell’s purpose in seeking me?"

Inside the hall, Wyatt Barnes chatted idly with Daven Buckingham and suddenly asked.

"It’s likely as a mediator, hoping to persuade you, Alchemist Barnes, to join the Thousand Spiders Immortal Sect, correct?"

Daven Buckingham queried with a smile.

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, "That was the main reason."

"However..."

Suddenly, as if recalling something, Daven Buckingham asked, "Alchemist Barnes, during your conversation with Annie Campbell, she mentioned ’Milana Harrington’... If I’m not mistaken, she must be the gifted disciple from the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, right?"

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes was not surprised that Daven Buckingham knew about the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect and Milana Harrington’s existence.

After all, he is the current Sect Leader of the Grand Unity Immortal Sect.

Though the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect may not be as powerful as the Grand Unity Immortal Sect, sects at this level would undoubtedly have some knowledge of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s affairs.

Just as Daven Buckingham intended to inquire of Wyatt Barnes about his relationship with Milana Harrington, prompting Annie Campbell to mention her and request a private conversation.

"Sect Leader!"

A voice echoed from outside the hall, revealing the return of Cain Iron.

"Oh?"

Cain Iron’s abrupt return surprised both Daven Buckingham and Wyatt Barnes.

Soon after, they stepped outside the hall and learned:

The two from the Thousand Spiders Immortal Sect had just departed when the representatives from the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect arrived.

Among the three, was the leading figure of the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect’s delegation to Grand Unity City.

The former Sect Leader of the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, their current sole ’Eight Diagrams Immortal Lord’.

Referred to as ’Golden Buddha’ George Thorn!

"Protector Iron, accompany me to welcome Senior Thorn."

Upon learning of George Thorn’s arrival, even Daven Buckingham, the Sect Leader of the Grand Unity Immortal Sect, didn’t dare to neglect him and immediately arranged for Cain Iron to accompany him in welcoming the guest.

"Alchemist Barnes, would you like to come along?"

After inviting Cain Iron, Daven Buckingham didn’t forget Wyatt Barnes.

"Let’s go and have a look."

Wyatt Barnes’ eyes twinkled, nodding, "I also wish to meet this ’Eight Diagrams Immortal Lord’ of the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect..."

In the Desolate Territory, the three major Immortal Sects each have an Eight Diagrams Immortal Lord.

However, the Eight Diagrams Immortal Lord of the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect is believed by most in the Desolate Territory to have perished, and it was thought to have happened over three thousand years ago.

It was precisely due to this that the arrival of the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect’s Eight Diagrams Immortal Lord in Grand Unity City caused a great sensation, leaving many astounded.

Soon after, Wyatt Barnes, Daven Buckingham, and Cain Iron together left Upper Immortal Isle to greet the Eight Diagrams Immortal Lord of the Grand Unity Immortal Sect, ’George Thorn’.

"Sect Leader Buckingham of the Grand Unity Immortal Sect, pays respect to Senior Thorn."

"Left Protector Cain Iron of the Grand Unity Immortal Sect, pays respect to Senior Thorn."

Upon meeting George Thorn, both Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron immediately greeted him respectfully, never showing even the slightest negligence.

Although they were both of the ’Seven Stars Immortal Lord’ level.

Yet, the opponent was an ’Eight Diagrams Immortal Lord’, a being far above their level.

And apart from this.

The elder status of the opponent also warranted their courteous greetings.

While Daven Buckingham and Cain Iron greeted George Thorn, Wyatt Barnes was scrutinizing him:

A tall, robust monk adorned in a golden robe.

But, unlike the typically gentle appearance of monks, this monk wore a fierce expression, intimidating enough to make most individuals afraid to meet his gaze.

"Wyatt Barnes, pays respect to Senior Thorn."

As Wyatt Barnes slightly bowed his head, speaking to greet George Thorn.

George Thorn’s gaze suddenly fell upon Cain Iron, questioning coldly, "Are you Cain Iron?"

Before Cain Iron could respond, upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ respectful words, George Thorn instantly shifted his gaze to Wyatt.

At that moment, Wyatt Barnes felt as though he was being watched by a venomous snake.

Simultaneously, Wyatt Barnes discerned:

Within George Thorn’s predatory eyes was a palpable intent to kill...

As if he was staring at someone who had murdered his father or stolen his wife.
