Chapter 2844: The Two Sect Leaders
"How can they be so stupid? This kid from the Supreme Immortal Sect is clearly trying to trick them, and they actually fell for it?"
"It’s normal to be fooled... After all, this kid from the Supreme Immortal Sect wants them to bring out their sect’s best Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities as stakes."
"Although the kid from the Supreme Immortal Sect has made a request... he also put up stakes. Though his Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities are just ordinary Monarch Level ones, he offered three whole gates, which is no small number!"
"I just don’t know if this kid is bragging... Can a person under a hundred years old really have the authority to offer three Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities from the Supreme Immortal Sect as stakes? Those are treasured assets of the sect!"
"I truly wonder what the top-grade alchemist of the Fuyang Immortal Sect and the Vice Sect Leader of the Chiba Immortal Sect are thinking... Someone offered them three Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities, and they actually refused!"
...
As Wyatt Barnes turned around and walked back into the shop with Leilany, the crowd of onlookers couldn’t help but start whispering again.
Even though Wyatt didn’t offend them, most of them were men, and seeing Wyatt win the heart of such an extraordinary beauty, it was inevitable that they’d feel envy and resentment.
In this situation, they naturally wanted to see Wyatt make a fool of himself and be humiliated!
However, Elliott Lester and Tahir Thomsen’s silence gave them no chance to see Wyatt embarrass himself.
Regarding this, they were naturally unwilling.
Though unwilling, they didn’t dare point at Elliott Lester and Tahir Thomsen and curse, so they just continued to whisper amongst themselves.
Just as Wyatt Barnes and Leilany were about to step over the threshold and enter the shop.
"You little brat, stop right there!"
A sudden shout came, overpowering all the whispers of the people present.
As the shout fell, the entire place went dead silent, so quiet that even the sound of a falling pin could be heard.
The next moment, most people’s attention focused on the one who shouted.
The person who shouted was none other than the top-grade alchemist of the Fuyang Immortal Sect, Elliott Lester!
"There’s a show!"
"Looks like there’s going to be a good show!"
...
With Elliott Lester’s shout to make Wyatt stop, everyone’s eyes brightened, eager for chaos.
However, after Elliott Lester’s cold shout, Wyatt’s figure still didn’t pause, crossing the threshold into the shop with Leilany.
"Leilany, I think I just heard a dog barking behind us... I wonder who that dog was barking at."
As they entered the shop, Wyatt’s voice came timely, seemingly flirting with the lady beside him, but actually responding to Elliott Lester.
"Brat, you have a death wish!"
Upon hearing Wyatt call him a dog, Elliott Lester got enraged, his Immortal Origin fluctuating wildly, eyes turning red as if he might attack Wyatt at any moment.
"Looks like the one with a death wish is you!"
At the moment Elliott Lester’s Immortal Origin fluctuated and his eyes turned red, an angry shout followed, echoing swiftly.
BANG!
"Ah—"
Accompanying the echoing shout was a loud crash and a painful scream.
With a sleeve flick from Love Rowan, a vast and unmatched force burst out, akin to an army charging, striking Elliott Lester and sending him flying.
Elliott Lester’s Immortal Origin was completely scattered, and he flew over ten meters before stopping, his body trembled violently a few times before spitting a large mouthful of blood.
"Humiliate the Chief Alchemist of the Supreme Immortal Sect, if you were an ordinary person, I’d definitely not hold back on this strike... You’re lucky that you’re the Sacrificial Officer of the Fuyang Immortal Sect!"
After Love Rowan’s strike, his cold voice spread throughout the place.
What he meant was clear:
If not for your position as the Sacrificial Officer of the Fuyang Immortal Sect, I wouldn’t have held back on that strike, and you would be dead!
"Alchemist Lester!"
"Alchemist Lester!"
...
Seeing Elliott Lester injured, the crowd he brought’s faces immediately changed, and they hurriedly approached Elliott Lester.
However, it was clear they weren’t concerned about his injuries, because once close, they hid behind Elliott Lester.
As if fearing Love Rowan might strike them as well.
They knew well that they weren’t from the Fuyang Immortal Sect, and without its protection, if Love Rowan decided to kill them, no one would stand for them.
The people Elliott Lester brought were all mid-grade and low-grade alchemists who flattered him upon arriving in Pill Tao City.
Knowing he’d come today seeking trouble with the Supreme Immortal Sect and having reason on his side, these alchemists eagerly followed to join the spectacle.
After all, not every day could they be as imposing as today in blocking the doors of the Supreme Immortal Sect’s shop!
Elliott Lester gave them this opportunity.
This alone was enough for them to boast about for a lifetime.
Although injured by Elder Ancestor Taiyi, Elliott Lester quickly recovered since the wounds weren’t deep.
"Wyatt Barnes, I bet with you!"
After recovering, he dared not show his anger in front of Elder Ancestor Taiyi, so he channeled all his rage toward Wyatt Barnes.
"Finally speaking rationally?"
With Elliott Lester’s words, Wyatt Barnes, who had already entered the shop, turned around and glanced indifferently at Elliott Lester.
"I can bet with you... But can you represent the Taiyi Immortal Sect? Don’t lose and fail to provide the three Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities."
Elliott Lester said coldly.
"You doubt Alchemist Barnes can represent the Taiyi Immortal Sect... then surely I can represent the Taiyi Immortal Sect?"
Elder Ancestor Taiyi calmly glanced at Elliott Lester and said, "Today, every decision made by Alchemist Barnes can be considered as made by me."
"If he loses and has to deliver our Taiyi Immortal Sect’s three Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities, I won’t have a word of complaint, nor will the Taiyi Immortal Sect!"
Elder Ancestor Taiyi finished in one breath.
"Hear that?"
Wyatt Barnes gazed deeply at Elliott Lester.
The next moment, without waiting for Elliott Lester to respond, he looked toward Thomsen Tahir standing to the side, asking, "Deputy Sect Master Thomsen, Alchemist Lester agreed to bet with me... What about you?"
"Deputy Sect Master Thomsen won’t bet! It’s just me and you!"
Before Thomsen Tahir could speak, Elliott Lester quickly responded to Wyatt Barnes.
"Just you?"
Wyatt Barnes displayed a cold smile, disdainfully saying, "Sorry... If it’s just you alone, I’m not interested in betting with you."
"Hahahaha... You’re indeed afraid!"
Almost as soon as Wyatt Barnes finished speaking, Elliott Lester burst into laughter, chuckling briefly before turning to Thomsen Tahir. "Deputy Sect Master Thomsen, now you can rest easy?"
"Alchemist Barnes, since you wish to bet with us... I, Thomsen, will also accompany!"
Tahir Thomsen looked at Wyatt Barnes with fierce determination.
"Gentlemen... even if you wish to bet with me, it seems you might not be able to decide, right? I suggest you return to seek the approval of your Sect Leaders and then give me an answer."
Wyatt Barnes calmly swept his gaze over Thomsen Tahir and Elliott Lester and said, "After betting, don’t let your Sect Leaders refuse to honor their commitment... That would be meaningless."
"I don’t need to return... I just need to use a Communication Immortal Talisman to inform my Sect Leader from the Chiba Immortal Sect, and he’ll soon give me a reply."
Tahir Thomsen said.
"Same goes for me."
Elliott Lester added.
"You’d better call your two Sect Leaders together with the Communication Immortal Talisman... If they just respond through the talisman, they might later renege."
Wyatt Barnes further stated, "If they aren’t present, I don’t feel assured betting with you... Just like if our Elder Ancestor Taiyi wasn’t here today, and he didn’t speak, you wouldn’t believe that I can represent Taiyi Immortal Sect to offer the three Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities."
"This request... shouldn’t be excessive, right?"
At the end, Wyatt Barnes squinted his eyes slightly, smiling faintly.
At this moment, Elliott Lester and Thomsen Tahir exchanged glances, communicating through transmissions:
"Deputy Sect Master Thomsen, the more requests he makes, the more he shows he’s afraid!"
"I think so too. Since he wants us to call our two Sect Leaders here, we’ll fulfill his wish! Otherwise, he might believe he can bluff us."
"Deputy Sect Master Thomsen’s words meet my intentions!"
After their transmission exchange, both used Communication Immortal Talismans, sending messages back to their sect’s bases in the Desolate Domain Pill Tao City, notifying their Sect Leaders.
"They... actually plan to call their two Sect Leaders over?"
Seeing Elliott Lester and Thomsen Tahir consecutively use Communication Immortal Talismans, the three top-grade alchemists from Taiyi Immortal Sect, Hunter Swayer, Russel Yorke, and Joshua Davies, looked at Elliott Lester and Thomsen Tahir with bewilderment.
As if watching fools.
These two, didn’t they notice Taiyi Immortal Sect’s Alchemist Barnes exuding confidence, certain of victory?
In such a situation, they actually dare bet with Alchemist Barnes?
Do they find their sect’s offensive and defensive Monarch Level Immortal Methods and attack-speed inherent Monarch Level Divine Abilities cumbersome?
Yet, the bewilderment again appearing on the faces of Swayer and the other two, when seen by Elliott Lester and Thomsen Tahir, was mistaken for fear.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"Under a hundred years old, capable of crafting the Rowan Heaven Pill? How’s that possible!"
"A top-grade alchemist under a hundred years old capable of crafting the Rowan Heaven Pill? Impossible! There definitely isn’t such a person!"
Regardless, both the Sect Leader of the Fuyang Immortal Sect and the Sect Leader of the Chiba Immortal Sect believed so when receiving Elliott Lester and Thomsen Tahir’s Communication Immortal Talisman.
Soon, the two Sect Leaders set out.
Because they thought, that bet was essentially the Taiyi Immortal Sect intending to gift Monarch Level Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities to their Fuyang Immortal Sect and Chiba Immortal Sect.
