Legend of Wyatt

Under the gaze of the crowd, a tall and burly figure emerged from the horizon, stepping through the sky.

The speed seemed slow, yet in the blink of an eye, he appeared not far from the spectators, his form embodying the profound mystery of ’a foot of ground and a mile of sky’.

This was a tall, burly middle-aged man, with a square face covered in stubble, and a conspicuous vermilion mole on his brow.

"Jorge Yellow, pays respect to Lord Left Protector!"

While the others were still catching their breath, Elder Jorge Yellow of the Taiyi Immortal Sect had already stepped forward first, paying his respects to the burly middle-aged man with utmost reverence.

In Jorge Yellow’s eyes, there was a hint of bewilderment.

As far as he knew, this Protector Iron of their Taiyi Immortal Sect was not close to women.

Why, then, would he appear here?

"No, that’s not right... Protector Iron seemed to be greeting that purple-robed youth just now."

In an instant, as if recalling something, Jorge Yellow’s pupils contracted sharply, "Moreover, at the time, Protector Iron’s tone seemed extremely courteous... Could it be that Protector Iron knows this top-grade alchemist?"

Muttering to himself, Jorge Yellow shifted his gaze from the burly middle-aged man to the purple-robed youth holding a top-grade immortal fire.

Although there might be more than one alchemist among those present,

only a ’top-grade alchemist’ would be treated so respectfully by their Taiyi Immortal Sect’s Lord Left Protector.

Thus, now he could almost be certain:

The ’Alchemist Barnes’ referred to by their Taiyi Immortal Sect’s Lord Left Protector was indeed that purple-robed youth!

"If I had known Protector Iron knew him, even if I wanted the woman, I would not have come... No, had I known he was a top-grade alchemist, I certainly wouldn’t have come."

Now, Jorge Yellow was utterly regretful.

"I hope Protector Iron won’t punish me for my recklessness... After all, I didn’t know in advance that Protector Iron knew him."

In his heart, Jorge Yellow silently prayed.

As an Elder of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, it was natural for him to be aware of the hot temper of their Taiyi Immortal Sect’s Lord Left Protector; now he only hoped that their left protector’s friendship with the other party wasn’t deep, otherwise, he would definitely face severe consequences!

"Greetings, Protector Iron!"

"Greetings, Protector Iron!"

Following Jorge Yellow, Jack Thorn, an elder from the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, and Lewis Bell, a protector from the Tianzhu Immortal Sect, also returned to their senses and immediately paid their respects to the newcomer, with utmost reverence, not daring to show a trace of neglect.

Meanwhile, everyone else also came to their senses, focusing their attention on the burly middle-aged man.

"Elder Jorge Yellow of Taiyi Immortal Sect called him ’Protector Iron’?"

"Elder Jack Thorn of the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect and Protector Lewis Bell of the Tianzhu Immortal Sect both addressed him as ’Protector Iron’... Could he be the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s Left Protector, Cain Iron?!"

...

Many whispered amongst themselves, vaguely guessing the identity of the newcomer.

"The Taiyi Immortal Sect’s Left Protector? The one who recently broke through to become a ’Seven Stars Immortal Lord’ in the City of Grand Unity?!"

"Seven Stars Immortal Lord!"

...

Upon guessing the person’s identity, many couldn’t help recalling the recent widespread tales of Taiyi Immortal Sect’s Left Protector Cain Iron achieving the breakthrough to ’Seven Stars Immortal Lord’ status in the City of Grand Unity, causing an immediate stir.

Seven Stars Immortal Lord!

Even the Sect Leaders of the three major Immortal Sects in the Desolate Territory are merely ’Seven Stars Immortal Lords’.

Seven Stars Immortal Lord can be described as standing at the pinnacle of the Desolate Territory.

At least, in the eyes of most present, this was the case.

However, the tall and burly Cain Iron, newly revealed as the Left Protector of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, at this moment, ignored the respectful salutes from Jorge Yellow, Jack Thorn, and Lewis Bell, and instead looked directly at Wyatt Barnes standing not far away.

"Alchemist Barnes, you... seem to be in a bit of trouble?"

Cain Iron asked with a slight smile, speaking very courteously.

"Protector Iron."

In response to Cain Iron’s inquiry, Wyatt Barnes raised his hand, retracting the top-grade immortal fire, and said calmly, "Whether I’m in trouble or not, you can’t possibly be unaware, can you? If I’m not mistaken, you probably didn’t just arrive, right? You should’ve been here for a while, right?"

As he continued speaking, when Wyatt Barnes looked at Cain Iron, a wise gleam flashed in his eyes.

Facing Wyatt Barnes’ wise gaze, Cain Iron, who was making eye contact with him, immediately felt an exposed sensation and could only give an awkward smile.

As Wyatt Barnes put away the top-grade immortal fire, a murderous intent flashed in the eyes of Jack Thorn, the elder from the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect.

However, seeing Wyatt Barnes’ words cause Cain Iron to give an awkward smile, and recalling how Cain Iron maintained a courteous attitude towards Wyatt Barnes from before he appeared until now, he suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, and his eyes showed a hint of apprehension.

At this moment, he also realized:

This Left Protector from the Taiyi Immortal Sect seems quite familiar with this top-grade alchemist.

Moreover, the courtesy shown by the Left Protector from the Taiyi Immortal Sect towards this top-grade alchemist surpassed the courtesy shown to other top-grade alchemists, as he had witnessed this Left Protector meeting other top-grade alchemists before, and the courtesy was far less than this.

Moreover, at that time, the Left Protector of the Taichi Immortal Sect was merely a ’Six-Harmony Immortal Sovereign’.

But now, the Left Protector of the Taichi Immortal Sect has become a ’Seven-Star Immortal Sovereign’, surpassing the Six-Harmony Immortal Sovereign!

"It seems they are acquaintances..."

Jack Thorn felt a shiver in his heart and could only think this way.

He never dreamed that the reason Cain Iron was courteous to Wyatt Barnes was not because Wyatt was his acquaintance, but because Wyatt was a top-grade alchemist capable of crafting the premium Immortal Pill ’Rowan Heaven Pill’, far beyond what ordinary top-grade alchemists could achieve.

"What’s going on?"

"What happened?"

"The Left Protector of the Taichi Immortal Sect seems to have a close relationship with Wyatt Barnes..."

"Even if he is a top-grade alchemist, it’s not enough to make the ’Seven Stars Immortal Sovereign’ so courteous, is it? Could it be that the Left Protector of the Taichi Immortal Sect has a personal connection with him?"

...

The group from the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, while exchanging glances with those around them, saw confusion in each other’s eyes. After confusion came more shock and disbelief.

They never expected:

The purple-clad youth beside the Third Prince could actually have ties with the Left Protector of the Taichi Immortal Sect.

"Didn’t he say he wanted to join the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect earlier? With such familiarity with the Left Protector of the Taichi Immortal Sect, wouldn’t joining the Taichi Immortal Sect be better?"

Leif Dragonsmith thought of the words Wyatt Barnes had said before, and couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled.

"Brother Barnes..."

"Wyatt Barnes..."

At this moment, even Crue Dragonsmith and Ares Cooper looked bewildered, completely clueless about the situation before them.

How could the Left Protector of the Taichi Immortal Sect, a ’Seven-Star Immortal Sovereign’, be so familiar with Wyatt Barnes?

"Protector Iron, I’m not one for beating around the bush..."

Becoming the center of attention again, Wyatt Barnes looked at Cain Iron calmly and said, "You should know, I originally intended to join the ’Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect’."

Saying this, Wyatt Barnes shifted his gaze to Elder Jack Thorn of the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect.

Instantly, Jack Thorn’s complexion turned alternating shades of blue and white.

If what this top-grade alchemist says is true, once this matter is reported back to their Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, the Sect Leader and other high-ranking members will undoubtedly hold him accountable, reprimanding him for causing the sect to lose a top-grade alchemist over a woman!

"Hmm."

Cain Iron nodded upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words.

Wyatt had mentioned this to him before.

"Protector Iron, do you want me to join the ’Taichi Immortal Sect’?"

Wyatt Barnes raised his eyebrows and asked.

Almost the moment Wyatt Barnes finished speaking, a sudden gleam appeared in Cain Iron’s eyes, and an excited expression involuntarily surfaced on his face, "Alchemist Barnes... Do you, do you perhaps want to join our Taichi Immortal Sect?"

Just as Wyatt Barnes speculated.

In fact, Cain Iron had been here all along, but he had been hidden to the side.

When Wyatt Barnes told Jack Thorn he was disappointed in the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, and informed Crue Dragonsmith that he wouldn’t join it, Cain Iron was present and heard it all.

At that moment, his mind started feeling a bit excited.

Now, hearing Wyatt Barnes say this, suggesting an inclination to join their Taichi Immortal Sect, Cain Iron became utterly thrilled.

"Alchemist Barnes, as long as you join our Taichi Immortal Sect, we will absolutely not treat you unfairly... At that time, we will honor you as our Taichi Immortal Sect’s ’chief alchemist’, and we will do our utmost to meet all your needs!"

Cain Iron said with some excitement.

His words seemed to imply that no matter the effort, he would bring Wyatt Barnes into the Taichi Immortal Sect.

And with Cain Iron’s words, the entire scene fell silent once again.

Chief Alchemist?

It’s known that the Taichi Immortal Sect already has several top-grade alchemists, but the status of those alchemists within the sect is equal.

Because none of those top-grade alchemists stand out, there is no ’chief alchemist’ within the Taichi Immortal Sect.

Yet now, Cain Iron claims:

If Wyatt Barnes is willing to join the Taichi Immortal Sect, they will honor him as the ’chief alchemist’?

It’s known that if the Taichi Immortal Sect does this, and Wyatt Barnes’s alchemy skills aren’t overwhelmingly superior to the other top-grade alchemists in the sect, the other alchemists might leave the sect in anger.

For this reason, the Taichi Immortal Sect would never recklessly take the risk of honoring a top-grade alchemist as ’chief alchemist’.

Unless, that alchemist’s skills far surpass those of the other top-grade alchemists in the Taichi Immortal Sect!
