Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 1960: The Death of Jackson Wilson

"Elder Abraham!"

Wyatt Barnes’s expression turned serious as he looked at Abraham, "I understand your good intention of recommending me as a disciple to the Altar Lord... But, I appreciate the thought. I already have a master!"

"Moreover, according to the customs of my hometown, once you have a master, you cannot acknowledge another master without the former’s consent!"

"Otherwise, it would be a grave offense!"

Wyatt spoke firmly.

"You have a master?"

Abraham was somewhat surprised, then asked, "Which faction is your master from?"

"My master is just a Loose Cultivator and not affiliated with any faction."

Wyatt shook his head.

"Wyatt, have you thought it through... If you can become a disciple of a ’Golden Flame Elder’ like the Altar Lord within the Fire Worship Sect, it’s only beneficial for you, no drawbacks!"

Abraham advised solemnly, "Not to mention the conflict between you and Maximus Lee... If you can become the direct disciple of our Black Tortoise Altar’s Altar Lord, even if Maximus had ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare to stand against you!"

"Most importantly, the Altar Lord wouldn’t care if you had another master before... As long as you’re willing to acknowledge him as your master, with your talent, he would definitely not refuse to accept you!"

Abraham’s words were earnest.

In his view, with Wyatt’s talent and the ’Azure Spiritual Root,’ combined with his monstrous aptitude for comprehending Divine Abilities... Wyatt is undoubtedly the most sought-after Martial Dao prodigy with an ’Azure Spiritual Root’ in the Fire Worship Sect!

He was highly confident that if he recommended Wyatt to their Black Tortoise Altar’s Altar Lord, the latter would undoubtedly accept Wyatt as his disciple without hesitation.

"Elder Abraham, don’t persuade me anymore... My mind is made up!"

Wyatt shook his head, speaking decisively again, leaving himself no room to retreat.

Truth be told, Wyatt was somewhat tempted by Abraham’s words.

But, he still felt it was inappropriate!

Not to mention that doing so would be unfair to his unseen master Breezy Wind, even if his master didn’t mind, he didn’t want to drag others into trouble.

Indeed!

He simply didn’t want to drag others into trouble!

Wyatt came to the Fire Worship Sect not truly to become a disciple and then rise to the top, to one day become a high-ranking figure in the sect, achieving fame and success.

He came to the Fire Worship Sect for one purpose:

To rescue his wife and daughter.

It’s imaginable if he found a ’master’ here in the Fire Worship Sect... Then, when he rescues his wife and daughter, his master would certainly be implicated whether they knew or not!

As the saying goes, ’Once a master, always a father’!

Let alone the fact that the person would be his ’master,’ if possible, Wyatt would even prefer not to implicate any innocent person with his affairs.

"Enough... Since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t persuade you anymore."

Sensing Wyatt’s determination, Abraham stopped urging Wyatt, sighed, and then said, "I’ll come to fetch you in a month, to take you to our Four Symbols Altar’s ’First Mining Area’!"

After saying this, Abraham left without even bidding farewell to Wyatt.

He was evidently angered by Wyatt’s ’stubbornness’!

After Abraham left, Wyatt returned to the Black Tortoise Altar disciple residence, to his own ’Class B Room.’

However, in the coming month, he did not engage in isolated cultivation.

Instead, he sometimes comprehended the Supreme Heart Sword, and other times further delved into the Divine Abilities he had mastered, ’Minor Devouring Technique,’ and ’Heavenly Flying Immortal.’

As for the Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Protection,’ he set it aside temporarily.

"Until I see someone else demonstrate the ’Black Tortoise Protection,’ there’s no need for me to waste time on it."

This was why Wyatt temporarily stopped further comprehension of the ’Black Tortoise Protection’ Divine Ability.

Moreover, both the ’Minor Devouring Technique’ and ’Heavenly Flying Immortal’ Divine Abilities still had room for improvement.

Therefore, Wyatt dedicated more effort to them.

Perseverance always pays off!

Ten months later, Wyatt touched the ’threshold’ of the third realm of the Supreme Heart Sword, and further mastered the ’Heavenly Flying Immortal’ Divine Ability. However, the ’Minor Devouring Technique’ seemed to hit a bottleneck, unable to progress for a long time.

"Time’s up."

Wyatt’s mind clicked, leaving the Jewel Tower.

After putting away the Jewel Tower, he opened the door and stepped out, coming to the small courtyard outside the room, sitting at the stone table in the yard.

The ten months inside the Jewel Tower were only a month outside.

"Judging by the time... Elder Abraham should be arriving soon."

Sitting at the stone table, Wyatt thought to himself.

And just at this moment, a voice came from below his Class B Room:

"Have you heard? Maximus Lee’s direct disciple ’Jackson Wilson’ was executed by the Holy Land Enforcement Hall three days ago!"

Jackson Wilson, executed?

Hearing this, Wyatt couldn’t help but be stunned.

Shortly after, another voice echoed, "Really? Executed just because of that news spread earlier?"

"Hmph! Don’t underestimate that news... That news, no idea which deliberate soul spread it, actually said Jackson Wilson challenged the Sacred Law Enforcement Division’s authority, and was detained by them."

The first voice that came first returned:

"Perhaps, the Sacred Law Enforcement Division had no intentions of killing Jackson Wilson, seeing him as the ’Copper Flame Elder’ bearing the ’Green Spirit Root’. But someone leaked the news of Jackson Wilson desecrating the Sacred Law Enforcement Division and challenging their authority, undeniably adding fuel to the fire... At this moment, if the Sacred Law Enforcement Division doesn’t execute Jackson Wilson, wouldn’t it damage their authority?"

"The Sacred Law Enforcement Division in our Fire Worship Sect is a sacred and inviolable place... If someone desecrates such a place and survives, what would others think? They would likely not regard the Sacred Law Enforcement Division."

The owner of this voice undeniably has a keen understanding of the entire affair.

"When you put it like that, it does make sense... But have you heard what exactly Jackson Wilson did to desecrate the Sacred Law Enforcement Division?"

The owner of the other voice asked.

"This I do know. Allegedly, it was because three months ago, our Black Tortoise Altar’s Law Enforcement Elder, Abraham Clifford, made a ruling regarding Wyatt Barnes that Jackson Wilson was dissatisfied with. So, Jackson Wilson went to the Sacred Law Enforcement Division to accuse Elder Abraham Clifford of abusing power for personal gain!"

The previous voice added, "I heard that the Sacred Law Enforcement Division sent someone to our Black Tortoise Altar to investigate, and the results showed that Jackson Wilson was slandering Elder Abraham Clifford!"

"That Jackson Wilson, failing to avenge his direct disciple yet losing his life instead... Truly pitiful."

That voice continued to enter Wyatt Barnes’s ears.

"It seems Elder Abraham Clifford ultimately spread the news out."

Wyatt Barnes faintly smiled, knowing that his original ’suggestion’ was adopted by Abraham Clifford.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

Just as Wyatt Barnes recalled Abraham Clifford, a voice came from afar, accompanied by a towering figure.

Indeed ’Abraham Clifford’!

Abraham Clifford arrived as expected, taking Wyatt Barnes to the Four Symbols Altar’s ’First Mining Area’ for duty.

"Elder Abraham Clifford, since you spread the news, did the Sacred Law Enforcement Division investigate who circulated it?"

On the way to the Four Symbols Altar’s ’First Mining Area’, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but ask.

"They did investigate."

Abraham Clifford nodded, then looked deeply at Wyatt Barnes, "Everything unfolded just as you predicted... After knowing that the news was spread by me, the Sacred Law Enforcement Division didn’t trouble me."

Everything indeed went as Wyatt Barnes originally indicated.

Precisely because of this, Abraham Clifford grew increasingly impressed by Wyatt Barnes’s meticulous mind.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but decide:

Even if it meant breaking ties with Maximus Lee, he must not become enemies with Wyatt Barnes!

Wyatt Barnes gave him a sense of danger far exceeding that of Maximus Lee!

"Jackson Wilson was executed... That Maximus Lee must be feeling bad too, right?"

Wyatt Barnes faintly smiled.

In his view, this incident was entirely Maximus Lee’s fault, leading his direct disciple ’Jackson Wilson’ into trouble!

If it weren’t for Maximus Lee instilling the false idea in Jackson Wilson that his innate spirit root was merely a ’Yellow Spirit Root’, Jackson Wilson wouldn’t have recklessly gone to the Sacred Law Enforcement Division to accuse Abraham Clifford of abusing power for personal gain!

One could say Jackson Wilson brought about his own demise!

And his urge to perish couldn’t be separated from Maximus Lee.

"Jackson Wilson was executed by the Sacred Law Enforcement Division three days ago, but the news only reached our Black Tortoise Altar today... Maximus Lee, even if he knew the news, would have only just found out."

Abraham Clifford remarked.

Exactly as Abraham Clifford stated, Maximus Lee had just learned of Jackson Wilson’s execution by the Sacred Law Enforcement Division.

Boom!!

With a thunderous crash, the stone table before Maximus Lee instantly collapsed, disintegrating into a heap of powder.

"Matteo, I have failed you!"

Maximus Lee’s expression darkened, eyes red and emanating a chilling aura that seemed to lower the surrounding temperature.

Jackson Wilson was his direct disciple and also his first direct disciple.

He held a very special affection for this disciple, even seeing him as a son.

Now, the disciple whom he saw as a son had died!

"I underestimated that Wyatt Barnes... Never imagined his innate spirit root was indeed ’Green Spirit Root’!"

Upon confirming Wyatt Barnes’s innate spirit root was ’Green Spirit Root’, Maximus Lee also felt a certain pressure.

Moreover, having just learned that his direct disciple was executed by the Sacred Law Enforcement Division, he was overwhelmed with the desire to seek out Wyatt Barnes and kill him immediately!

Jackson Wilson’s death, Maximus Lee blamed entirely on Wyatt Barnes!

At this moment, his desire to kill Wyatt Barnes was unprecedentedly strong!

"Wyatt Barnes, you took my family from me... Now I’ll make sure you taste the bitterness of losing yours!"

With this thought, a cold light flashed in Maximus Lee’s eyes, emanating a fierce killing intent.

Next moment, he left his abode and departed from the Black Tortoise Altar.

His target, directed at the ’White Tiger Altar’!
