Chapter 2777: Battle of the Immortal Lords
"My lords, I..."
The pressure from the three Immortal Lords was overwhelming, even for Leif Dragonsmith, the Emperor of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, who was a ’Heavenly Realm Upper Immortal’. He found it difficult to bear and wanted to voice his concerns in his words.
The concern he wished to express was precisely Wyatt Barnes’ remarkable identity.
He was even prepared to tell the three before him that even Annie Campbell, the disciple of the previous Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Immortal Sect and the junior of the current Sect Leader, dared not easily provoke Wyatt Barnes.
He believed that if he revealed these details, even if the three in front of him wouldn’t necessarily retreat, they certainly wouldn’t pursue the matter of him not handing over the woman.
"It’s His Highness, the Thirteenth Prince!"
Just as Leif Dragonsmith was beginning to speak, hardly had he begun when a significant number of people looked into the distance, exclaiming in surprise and interrupting his words.
Hearing this, Leif Dragonsmith didn’t continue. He immediately looked into the distance.
There, five people were approaching on foot.
Leading the group were four individuals: a young man in purple, a young man in a golden robe, a young man in a green robe, and a woman in a white dress.
The people of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation present immediately recognized the young man in the golden robe as none other than their Imperial Family’s Thirteenth Prince, Crue Dragonsmith!
"That is..."
However, the moment everyone’s gaze landed on Crue Dragonsmith, they instinctively shifted their focus to the woman in white.
It was simply because she was too dazzling, like a Night Pearl appearing in the endless darkness, illuminating the entire dark world!
With eyebrows like painted lines, eyes like clear water, extraordinarily beautiful features, slender and elegant in a simple white dress, an aura emanating from her, like immortal mist, ethereal and otherworldly, akin to a fairy untouched by the mortal world.
Especially her flawlessly perfect cheeks, seemingly favored by the Creator, showing no blemish from any angle.
"It’s the woman from the painting!"
"Perfect... so perfect! In reality, she seems even more perfect than in the painting!"
"A painting, after all, lacks liveliness and cannot compare to the real person... who would’ve thought such an exquisite beauty exists in this world, seeing her in this life is not in vain."
"I’ve seen her before, but she always wore a veiled hat and mask, never revealing her true countenance... never could I have imagined that beneath those veils lied such a flawless peerless face!"
...
The woman now successfully capturing the gazes of those present was ’Leilany’.
Since Leilany’s portrait had already spread throughout the City of Grand Unity, there was naturally no need to keep hiding behind veils. Therefore, before coming out, Wyatt asked Leilany to remove her veils.
Leilany was quite happy about this, seemingly oblivious to the crisis they faced.
Leilany held Wyatt’s arm, leaning affectionately against his side, her perfect visage complementing the extraordinary temperament and handsome appearance of Wyatt, giving off the impression of a ’golden boy and jade maiden’.
At this moment, Wyatt could clearly feel the knife-like gazes sweeping towards him.
If these stares could be turned into actual knives and swords, he feared he would have been shredded to pieces long ago!
Especially the three gazes, which gave Wyatt an oppressive feeling from the depths of his heart, as if three great mountains were pressing towards him, ready to suppress him!
"Jorge Yellow, the Elder of City of Grand Unity, Lewis Bell, the Protector of Thousand Spiders Immortal Sect, and Jack Thorn, the Elder of Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect..."
Wyatt swept his gaze calmly across the owners of these three gazes. No matter how sharp their eyes were, no matter how much pressure they gave him, his expression didn’t change.
Ares Cooper stood beside Wyatt, along with Leilany and Crue Dragonsmith.
Following behind them was Francis Bushell.
Yet now, even Francis Bushell, a ’Heavenly Realm Upper Immortal’, couldn’t help but feel somewhat apprehensive in the presence of three Immortal Lords from the Desolate Territory’s top three immortal sects.
With him being just a Heavenly Realm Upper Immortal, not even a peak Upper Immortal, he dared not be reckless before Immortal Lords.
Even a ’One-Origin Immortal Lord’ was far beyond the comparison of a peak Upper Immortal.
"Gentlemen... now that the beauty has appeared, should we discuss her ownership?"
Jorge Yellow withdrew his knife-like gaze from Wyatt, then turned to Lewis Bell and Jack Thorn, his words revealing a lascivious gleam in his eyes.
At this moment, Jorge Yellow no longer cast even a glance at Wyatt, as if he didn’t exist.
Not only Jorge Yellow but even Lewis Bell and Jack Thorn, after retracting their gazes, never looked at Wyatt again, treating him as non-existent.
In their eyes, Wyatt was merely an obscure figure, insignificant even with a good relationship with Crue Dragonsmith of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation.
If they wished, they could kill Crue Dragonsmith at any time, and even after his death, the Emperor of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation would not dare to show anger, might even apologize, saying that his son deserved to die!
This is the deterrent power they possess as Immortal Lords.
"I agree with Elder Jorge Yellow’s statement."
Protector ’Lewis Bell’ of the Thousand Spider Sect echoed Jorge Yellow’s words, then looked together with him at Elder ’Jack Thorn’ of the Dragon Warrior Sect.
Both Jorge Yellow and Lewis Bell are ’Two Element Immortal Lords’, and they know each other’s cultivation levels.
Therefore, standing before a beauty, they understand that head-on confrontation would only lead to mutual destruction.
That’s not the outcome any of them wish to see.
Additionally, they know something about Elder Jack Thorn of the Dragon Warrior Sect, aware that he is the same ’Two Element Immortal Lord’, so in their view, Jack Thorn can only negotiate the ownership of the beauty.
"I disagree!"
Just when Jorge Yellow and Lewis Bell thought Jack Thorn would agree to discuss the ownership of the beauty, Jack Thorn flatly refused.
"I know what you are thinking... you must be considering how to share this beauty."
"But... the woman Jack Thorn fancies, I have no interest in sharing with anyone else!"
"After today... she can only be my woman, Jack Thorn’s woman!"
Jack Thorn swept his gaze over Jorge Yellow and Lewis Bell, and when his eyes landed on Leilany again, they glimmered with intense desire for possession, as if Leilany was already his personal property.
"Jack Thorn!"
Jorge Yellow and Lewis Bell’s faces changed dramatically, and they stared angrily at Jack Thorn, "Jack Thorn, do you truly act as if we don’t exist?"
"Both being ’Two Element Immortal Lords’, even if your strength surpasses either of us individually... do you think you can withstand both of us together?"
In their words, Jorge Yellow and Lewis Bell looked at Jack Thorn as if he were an ’idiot’, only thinking that Jack Thorn was dreaming!
"Two Element Immortal Lords?"
Jack Thorn laughed, a brilliantly radiant smile, and his gaze towards Jorge Yellow and Lewis Bell turned even colder, "You can certainly try!"
Jack Thorn’s smile, while unsettling to Jorge Yellow and Lewis Bell, still prompted them to move in unison towards Jack Thorn after a glance at each other.
Although Jack Thorn’s confidence invoked a dreaded thought in their minds, they still planned to probe him...
"Hm!"
Regarding the attacks from Jorge Yellow and Lewis Bell, Jack Thorn did not seem surprised. In a twinkling, mighty waves of Immortal Origin force surged from him, like roaring dragons.
If you looked closely, you would see:
As Jorge Yellow and Lewis Bell moved forward, entwined within the surge of Immortal Origin from their bodies, were two serpentine mystical forces, seemingly endowing the Immortal Origin with greater power.
In contrast, the surge of Immortal Origin from Jack Thorn was entwined with three serpentine mystical forces, allowing his Immortal Origin to overpower the aura of Immortal Origin from Jorge Yellow and Lewis Bell.
Boom!!
Before the crowd could react, Jack Thorn had already clashed with Jorge Yellow and Lewis Bell, and a thunderous roar resounded.
As the roar spread, a wave of terrifying shock waves exploded in the front courtyard of the mansion.
Crash!!
Rumble!!
...
The courtyard shook heavily as Jack Thorn and Jorge Yellow, Lewis Bell clashed, unleashing immense power that left a giant pit at their feet.
And around the pit, the courtyard ground was cracked like a spider web, with ferocious fissures spreading, quickly extending across the mansion and even beyond its confines.
Suddenly, the streets outside the mansion also shook violently, resembling a massive earthquake.
"What’s going on?"
"Such a commotion! Isn’t this where the Sect of Grand Unity arranged accommodations for the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s group?"
"What happened inside?"
"Could it be because of that woman in the painting?"
"It’s very likely... however, such commotion couldn’t be caused by a Love Rowan Upper Immortal, right? Even at the peak strength, Upper Immortals shouldn’t cause this much disturbance!"
...
Around the dwelling arranged by the Sect of Grand Unity for the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation group, whether passersby or nearby residents, were inevitably shocked and bewildered.
Meanwhile, within the courtyard of the residence arranged by the Sect of Grand Unity, there lay chaos as if it had just weathered a massive natural disaster or storm.
