Chapter 2842: Do You Dare?
"Boy, didn’t you hear what I said?"
Seeing the young man in purple not only ignoring him but also flirting with the breathtaking beauty right in front of him, Kami Duran was truly enraged!
"Ignoring you was already giving you face."
Wyatt Barnes glanced lightly at Kami Duran and said steadily, "Since you’re so eager for me to acknowledge you, I’ll tell you why I chose to ignore you... You’re just a junior and not qualified to point fingers in front of me while I talk to your master."
Junior!
Hearing Wyatt’s words, the onlookers immediately realized that Wyatt placed himself on the same level as Deputy Sect Master Tahir Thomsen of the Thousand Leaf Sect. Therefore, as a disciple of Tahir Thomsen, Kami Duran was naturally just a junior.
When elders speak, juniors shouldn’t interject.
This is the most basic respect for elders.
"Do you think you’re worthy to be compared with my master? If it weren’t for you pretending to be an alchemist capable of refining the Rowan Heaven Pill, I, Kami Duran, wouldn’t even waste words on a mere kid like you under a hundred years old!"
Kami Duran’s face flushed with anger, and he spoke with a chilling gaze.
"Tahir Thomsen!"
Almost immediately after Kami Duran’s voice fell, a thunderous voice erupted, filled with rage as Elder Ancestor Beethoven glared at Tahir Thomsen:
"Is this how you teach your disciples?"
"Alchemist Barnes is our Sect’s ’Chief Alchemy Immortal,’ and in terms of status, he is on par with you, Deputy Sect Leader of the Thousand Leaf Sect..."
"Your disciple, in front of my sect’s Chief Alchemy Immortal, shows no respect or propriety. If you, as his master, don’t act, it might be said in the future that you failed to teach your disciple!"
As he spoke, Elder Ancestor Beethoven’s tone carried a chilling coldness, giving the impression that winter had truly arrived.
"Chief... Chief Alchemy Immortal?"
Elder Ancestor Beethoven’s words immediately caused an uproar throughout the scene.
"This kid under a hundred is the Chief Alchemy Immortal of the Sect? Is that even true?"
"Nonsense! Of course it’s false!"
"Someone not even a hundred years old, even if lucky enough to obtain a top-grade immortal fire... do you think devoting himself entirely to Alchemy for under a hundred years could yield significant achievements? It’s probably impossible to refine even a normal top-grade Immortal Pill, let alone the notoriously hard-to-refine Rowan Heaven Pill!"
"These people in the Sect are so shameless! Just to sell a Rowan Heaven Pill in their shop, they claim a kid under a hundred as their Chief Alchemy Immortal! Aren’t they afraid of being laughed at?"
"This Elder Ancestor Beethoven, a veteran powerhouse of the Sect, is he also just acting foolish... he’s wasted so many years of life!"
...
The spectators whispered among themselves, consistently agreeing that Elder Ancestor Beethoven was making up fake stories.
Boom!!
Following a loud bang, a cloud of blood exploded amidst the crowd, drawn by an invisible force, all of it fell to the ground, touching no one.
The ground was stained with blood, glaringly bright.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
...
Sounds of gasping filled the air.
The person killed turned out to be the middle-aged man who had just insulted Elder Ancestor Beethoven, paying with his life for his hasty words.
The noisy scene went dead silent in an instant.
All eyes were immediately on Elder Ancestor Beethoven...
While Elder Ancestor Beethoven stood rooted, seemingly unmoved,
Everyone felt, at that moment, a strong force from the direction of Elder Ancestor Beethoven towards that bloody spot.
"Elder Beckham, please calm down!"
Tahir Thomsen spoke, "That person meant no harm; he just found it hard to believe what Elder Beckham stated... after all, the youth’s age is obvious. He’s not even a hundred years old!"
With Elder Ancestor Beethoven’s ruthless action, Kami Duran, who had been taunting Wyatt Barnes just now, retreated behind Tahir Thomsen, his face slightly pale.
Seeing Elder Ancestor Beethoven’s ruthless approach, he dared not continue being the standout.
Fearing further action from Elder Ancestor Beethoven.
This Elder Ancestor Beethoven, as the ’Gossip Immortal Lord,’ possesses power even greater than his master. If he wished to kill him, not even his master could necessarily prevent it.
"Indeed!"
Just as Tahir Thomsen finished speaking, Elliott Lester stood out, speaking coldly: "None of your words hold any persuasion now... Unless this kid refines a Rowan Heaven Pill right before us."
"Otherwise, the sale of Rowan Heaven Pills by the Sect’s shop constitutes a violation of the rules set by all major sects in the Southeast Six Domains, subject to all sects opposing them... They might even lose the right to participate in the Pill Tao Conference forever in the future!"
As he continued, Elliott Lester’s eyes gleamed with schadenfreude.
"What do you count for!"
Wyatt Barnes glanced coldly at Elliott Lester, dismissively said, "You are not worthy to make me refine a Rowan Heaven Pill!"
"Of course, if you want me to refine a Rowan Heaven Pill publicly, you can. First, gather all the elite clans from the six southeastern regions... I don’t want a mad dog coming over every two days to shout and provoke. It’s better to let everyone see it once, that I, the chief alchemist of Taichi Immortal Sect, can refine a Rowan Heaven Pill."
"Our Taichi Immortal Sect is qualified to sell Rowan Heaven Pills in this Pill Tao City!"
Wyatt Barnes said.
"Who are you calling a mad dog?"
Elliott Lester’s face changed, looking at Wyatt Barnes again, his gaze was murderous.
At this moment, even Tahir Thomsen’s face turned gloomy.
What Wyatt said indirectly insulted him...
"Young man, I think you’re overthinking."
Taking a deep breath, slightly suppressing his anger, Tahir Thomsen looked at Wyatt Barnes and said in a deep voice, "Today, as long as you can refine a Rowan Heaven Pill in front of me, Alchemist Lester, and all present... The elite clans from the six southeastern regions will surely believe in you, believe that Taichi Immortal Sect has the qualification to sell Rowan Heaven Pills in Pill Tao City."
"No one will ever again question whether Taichi Immortal Sect has the qualification to sell Rowan Heaven Pills in Pill Tao City."
Tahir Thomsen said.
"Listening to Deputy Sect Master Thomsen... can you still represent all elite clans of the six southeastern regions?"
Wyatt Barnes glanced deeply at Tahir Thomsen.
"Kid!"
Elliott Lester said coldly, "Don’t think I don’t know, you’re just stalling for time... But, I can’t understand, at this point, why you still stubbornly delay, what does it matter?"
"I advise you to quickly bow your head and admit your mistake... Then, if your Taichi Immortal Sect’s attitude becomes better, perhaps the elite clans might be lenient and lightly punish your Taichi Immortal Sect!"
Towards the end, Elliott Lester pretended goodwill.
"Anyway, today I’m putting it here... unless all elite clans of the six southeastern regions send representatives over, I, Wyatt Barnes, won’t casually refine a Rowan Heaven Pill in public."
Wyatt Barnes ignored Elliott Lester’s words, calmly said.
Before Elliott Lester and Tahir Thomsen could speak, Wyatt Barnes continued, "Of course, if you want me to refine a Rowan Heaven Pill in front of you now, publicly, it’s not impossible... But, I, Wyatt Barnes, will not refine a Rowan Heaven Pill without reason, at least there should be some ’stakes’!"
Saying this, Wyatt provocatively glanced at Elliott Lester again.
"Stakes? What stakes?"
Elliott Lester sneered.
In his view, Wyatt Barnes was just trying to scare him and Thomsen away with this.
If a boy under a hundred years old could refine a Rowan Heaven Pill, he’d never believe it, even if he were beaten to death!
"I heard that Fuyang Immortal Sect has a Monarch Level Immortal Method that is both offensive and defensive..."
Wyatt Barnes looked at Elliott Lester, then at Tahir Thomsen, "Additionally, I heard: Qianye Immortal Sect has a Monarch Level Divine Ability that balances speed and attack."
"As long as Qianye Immortal Sect takes out that Monarch Level Divine Ability, Fuyang Immortal Sect takes out that Monarch Level Immortal Method as stakes... I can refine a top-grade Immortal Pill Rowan Heaven Pill in front of you and everyone."
"Of course, as long as you take out the stakes, our Taichi Immortal Sect won’t be stingy... Our Taichi Immortal Sect can take out one Monarch Level Immortal Method and two Monarch Level Divine Abilities. I imagine you’ve heard about the Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities that our Taichi Immortal Sect possesses."
As Wyatt Barnes said this, he looked at Elliott Lester and Tahir Thomsen with a provocative gaze.
Fuyang Immortal Sect has a Monarch Level Immortal Method that is both offensive and defensive.
Qianye Immortal Sect has a Monarch Level Divine Ability that balances speed and attack.
These were what he learned from Elder Ancestor before leaving the shop...
Of course, he asked actively himself.
The reason he asked was to see if he could win those two Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities from the two sects through today’s provocation by Fuyang and Qianye Immortal Sect.
Yet he wasn’t entirely confident.
After all, while he could propose a ’bet’, it was up to Elliott Lester and Tahir Thomsen to agree, or they needed the consent of those behind them...
This time, the Sect Leaders of Fuyang and Qianye Immortal Sect also came.
If Elliott Lester and Tahir Thomsen wanted to bet, besides their own agreement, they needed the Sect Leaders’ approval.
"Well? Do you dare?"
"If you don’t dare... the two of you should gather representatives from the other elite sects of the six southeastern regions."
"Though it takes some time... at least you won’t have to worry about losing your sect’s Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities!"
The provocativeness on Wyatt Barnes’s face and in his eyes grew increasingly intense.
