Legend of Wyatt

Although Wyatt Barnes didn’t give Crue Dragonsmith a direct response, Crue Dragonsmith gleaned the ’answer’ through Wyatt Barnes’ recent actions.

"I never expected... Leilany’s true appearance to be so flawless. Any normal man would surely be captivated by her, wouldn’t they? No wonder she always wears a veil and scarf; without them, she’d undoubtedly attract a lot of trouble."

Crue Dragonsmith mused to himself.

Although Crue Dragonsmith had known Wyatt Barnes and Leilany for some time, Leilany always wore a veil and scarf in the presence of anyone other than Wyatt Barnes, so Crue Dragonsmith had never seen her true appearance.

Now, seeing Leilany’s true appearance through the portrait Ares Cooper had produced, the shock was intense, lingering in his heart.

"Wyatt Barnes."

Ares Cooper looked at Wyatt Barnes gravely and said, "If you have her kill His Highness, the Sixth Prince, and the others, our Emperor of the Immortal Kingdom will definitely be enraged... constrained by your connection with the Thirteenth Prince, he can’t openly retaliate against you, but he can strike secretly at this person beside you."

As Ares Cooper spoke, his gaze first fell upon the Thirteenth Prince, then upon the portrait on the table.

The person in the painting, vividly depicted, has such perfect features that she could enchant the masses.

"For example... he could expose this portrait to the public, then everyone would know that you, Wyatt Barnes, have such an unparalleled beauty by your side. Seeing a woman with such unmatched beauty, many high-level figures from the three major sects in the Desolate Territory would likely show interest."

In his words, Ares Cooper expressed his concerns.

And his concerns were also Wyatt Barnes’ concerns.

Wyatt Barnes’ face grew even darker.

Upon hearing Ares Cooper, Crue Dragonsmith also realized the gravity of the situation, his eyes flickered coldly, he straightforwardly stated, "I’m going to pay a visit to where the Immortal Kingdom’s group is staying to warn their Emperor..."

"If anyone from the Immortal Kingdom dares to expose this portrait, I, Crue Dragonsmith, will not let it go!"

As he continued, Crue Dragonsmith’s tone revealed a hint of ferocity.

Of course, when Crue Dragonsmith said he wouldn’t let it go, he didn’t mean retaliating against the Emperor of the Immortal Kingdom himself.

With the power he holds, he can’t threaten the Emperor of a medium Immortal Kingdom.

However, although he can’t threaten the Immortal Kingdom Emperor, he can threaten those under the Emperor, casually killing a couple of the princes isn’t a hard task for him.

After finishing, Crue Dragonsmith strode out, while Wyatt Barnes didn’t stop him.

Not because Wyatt Barnes didn’t want to stop him, but because he was deep in thought, contemplating a means of counteraction.

He had a strong intuition:

At this moment, there’s a high chance that the Emperor of the Immortal Kingdom has already disseminated Leilany’s portrait, maybe even spreading the news that Leilany is near the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s lodging site.

As it turns out, Wyatt Barnes’ prediction was correct.

As Crue Dragonsmith hurriedly exited the residence arranged for the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation by the City of Grand Unity, he heard numerous people along the way discussing a portrait:

"Did you see that portrait?"

"Are you talking about the one depicting the perfect, peerless beauty? I’ve seen it... It’s said she’s inside the residence arranged for the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation."

"I heard the woman is quite close with the Thirteenth Prince of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation... More precisely, she’s close with someone who is quite familiar with the Thirteenth Prince."

...

The surrounding discussions made Crue Dragonsmith’s face instantly darken, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent, "Damn it... that Immortal Kingdom Emperor acted so quickly!"

Though he felt the Immortal Kingdom Emperor deserved censure, deep down, Crue Dragonsmith wasn’t surprised by the outcome.

If he were in the other’s position, he would do the same.

Meanwhile, within the lodging arranged for the Immortal Kingdom’s group by the City of Grand Unity.

"Your Majesty, we’ve followed your orders to spread that woman’s portrait widely across the City of Grand Unity, and also to disseminate the news that she’s with the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s group."

A middle-aged man reported respectfully to the Emperor of the Immortal Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, as of now, the portrait has spread across half of the City of Grand Unity, and over half of the residents should know that the woman is beside the Thirteenth Prince of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation."

"Your Majesty, I have personally delivered the woman’s portrait to ’Elder Jack Thorn’ of the Dragon Warrior sect, and informed him of her whereabouts."

"Your Majesty, I have also personally delivered the woman’s portrait to ’Protector Lewis Bell’ of the Thousand Spiders sect, and informed him of her whereabouts."

"Your Majesty, I have also paid a visit to ’Elder Jorge Yellow’ of the City of Grand Unity sect, and delivered the portrait."

...

Beneath the Cloud Immortal Kingdom Emperor, a group of people stood there, respectfully reporting the matters that the Cloud Immortal Kingdom Emperor had ordered them to execute.

"Good, good...excellent!"

After listening to the group’s report, Serigo Cloud’s eyes flashed with a fierce light, "I want to see...whether the Thirteenth Prince of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation can still protect that woman in such circumstances!"

"Dare to kill my son, I’ll make you unable to live or die! You’re strong and have backing, so what? Can you be stronger than those top experts of the three great immortal sects in the Desolate Territory?"

"Perhaps you won’t die...but you’re destined to become a ’plaything’ of one of those people! Or perhaps you will become their common ’plaything’!"

By the end of his speech, Serigo Cloud was already muttering to himself, the harshness in his tone sent shivers down the spine of anyone who heard it.

It was clear that Serigo Cloud was intent on completely destroying the person who killed his son, Sixth Prince Damon Stone of the Cloud Immortal Kingdom:

Leilany!

"As for that young man in purple...I can’t kill you, but as long as the woman by your side becomes someone else’s ’plaything’, I bet your heart won’t feel good? Hahaha..."

By the end of his murmuring, Serigo Cloud started laughing to himself, a laughter somewhat mad, making the group beneath him feel chills, yet none dared to even frown.

Whether it was Elder Jack Thorn from the Dragon Warrior Sect, or Protector Lewis Bell from the Thousand Spiders Sect, or Elder Jorge Yellow from the Grand Unity Sect, they were all renowned in the Desolate Territory for their lustfulness, and even could be said to indulge in endless pleasure.

And this time, the three just happened to be in City of Grand Unity.

Therefore, Serigo Cloud had Leilany’s portrait spread across City of Grand Unity, and simultaneously had people specifically send Leilany’s portrait and whereabouts to Jack Thorn, Lewis Bell, and Jorge Yellow.

"Such an enchanting beauty in the world? I must have her! She can only be mine, Jorge Yellow’s!"

Upon seeing Leilany’s portrait, Elder Jorge Yellow’s originally calm face instantly flushed, eyes bursting with an extremely excited, wicked light, seemingly able to illuminate everything.

"At the residence of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s entourage?"

Confirming Leilany’s whereabouts, Jorge Yellow left his residence without any hesitation, heading toward the place designated by the Grand Unity Sect for the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s entourage.

"I must have this woman!"

"Such a perfect woman deserves a personal visit from me, Lewis Bell!"

As Jorge Yellow headed towards the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s residence, Elder Jack Thorn from the Dragon Warrior Sect and Protector Lewis Bell from the Thousand Spiders Sect also proceeded there.

It was as if the residence allocated by the Grand Unity Sect for the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s entourage housed some kind of ’priceless treasure’.

In the eyes of the three, the perfectly enchanting beauty of Leilany indeed bore no difference from a priceless treasure, and they all desired to taste her fragrance and claim her as their own.

"What a beautiful woman!"

"Oh my! In this world, to have such an enchanting beauty...and she is with the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation?"

"It’s said she’s always beside the Thirteenth Prince of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation."

"When did such an enchanting beauty appear in the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation? I knew nothing...I pride myself on knowing the affairs of a hundred nations, but this time I’ve been made a fool!"

...

While the three lust-driven top experts of the three great immortal sects in the Desolate Territory journeyed toward the residence of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s entourage, City of Grand Unity was abuzz with talks like this.

Within just half a day, the entire City of Grand Unity was aware that the entourage of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, here for the ’Great Competition of the Desolate Territory’, included an enchanting beauty of perfect visage.

The mere unfolding of her portrait seemed to dull everything around it.

While City of Grand Unity was in a tumult, within the residence of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s entourage, peace was not to be found.

"That woman always beside the Thirteenth Prince, the one wearing a veil and bonnet, actually possesses such perfect beauty? Unbelievable, unbelievable..."

"She seems to be the woman accompanying that mysterious young man in purple beside the Thirteenth Prince...now that her true appearance has been revealed, it might invite considerable trouble."

"Such a beautiful woman, rare in the world, would stir the heart of any man...if I had the ability, I’d immediately abduct her and make her mine!"

"That young man in purple doesn’t seem simple...I wonder if, now that the woman by his side has been revealed to everyone in City of Grand Unity, he can protect the woman by his side."

...

Among the entourage of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, even Emperor Leif Dragonsmith was filled with curiosity at the sight of Leilany’s perfect beauty:

As things spiraled somewhat out of control, he wondered if that mysterious young man in purple could protect the woman by his side...
