Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 1971: Senior Brother Kian Hayden of the Black Tortoise Hall

The name ’Wyatt Barnes’ is not unfamiliar to the people of the Four Symbols Altar.

How could it be unfamiliar?

Upon arrival at the Fire Worship Sect, he offended the first Elder Silver Flame of the Black Tortoise Altar, ’Maximus Lee’, openly opposing him.

Then, he even killed Maximus Lee’s grand-apprentice, a Vermilion Bird Altar disciple, ’Hudson Anderson’!

Not only did he kill Hudson Anderson, but even Hudson’s younger brother ’Kenny Anderson’ was also taken down by him!

Just when everyone believed he intentionally killed Kenny and expected him to be executed... the Black Tortoise Altar’s Law Enforcement Elder, ’Abraham Clifford’, protected him, and later even the Holy Land’s Enforcement Hall stood by him!

With all these events, the name ’Wyatt Barnes’ became a legend within the Four Symbols Altar.

And now, that Black Tortoise Altar disciple named ’Wyatt Barnes’ has stirred up trouble again?

Moreover, the issue he caused is related to the recent uproar with ’Mats Davidson’?

"That Wyatt Barnes... as soon as he arrived at the first mining area of the Four Symbols Altar, he defeated ’Mats Davidson’? Are you kidding me!"

Upon hearing this ’bombshell news,’ the people from all the altars, whether Azure Dragon Altar, White Tiger Altar, Vermilion Bird Altar, or Black Tortoise Altar, mostly found it hard to believe.

However, as some elders from the Four Symbols Altar confirmed the news, they had no choice but to believe it.

"Wyatt Barnes’s cultivation is actually at the ’Earth Saint Realm peak’?"

"Does that mean... even when he fought with Hudson Anderson, he wasn’t using his full strength?"

"He hid his true abilities too well!"

...

Comments like these could be heard all over from the various altars of the Four Symbols Altar.

Obviously, the members of the altars also learned about Wyatt Barnes showcasing his ’Earth Saint Realm peak Holy Power’ at the first mining area.

Instantly, they concluded that Wyatt Barnes had been concealing his cultivation all along.

"Could it be that Wyatt Barnes’s current display of ’Earth Saint Realm peak’ power is also a result of deliberate concealment?"

There were quite a few who questioned this.

However, their doubts were soon dismissed by others, "Impossible! Don’t forget, his talent divine root is only a ’yellow divine root’..."

"For someone with a ’yellow divine root’, reaching the ’Earth Saint Realm peak’ is generally the limit! To break through to the ’Heavenly Saint Realm’ would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens!"

The fact that Wyatt Barnes’s talent divine root was just a ’yellow divine root’ had already spread across the Four Symbols Altar, so the people there knew it well.

For a while, most felt that Wyatt Barnes’s current cultivation was his ’limit’.

Going further would be extremely difficult!

However, the reason they thought so was because they accepted Wyatt Barnes’s innate divine root being a ’yellow divine root’ due to habitual thinking.

In the Four Symbols Altar, some people knew that Wyatt Barnes’s innate divine root was not a ’yellow divine root’, but a ’green divine root’!

Among them was the first Elder Silver Flame of the Black Tortoise Altar, ’Maximus Lee’.

Maximus had also heard about Black Tortoise Altar disciple ’Mats Davidson’ successfully comprehending the altar-guarding divine ability ’Black Tortoise Protection’.

He was surprised by this, and at the same time, filled with envy.

Even he, the first Elder Silver Flame of the Black Tortoise Altar, had not yet succeeded in comprehending the ’Black Tortoise Protection’.

A regular disciple of the Black Tortoise Altar succeeded in comprehending the altar-guarding divine ability ’Black Tortoise Protection’ before him... how could he not be envious?

"Wyatt Barnes, Earth Saint Realm peak cultivation? Defeated Mats Davidson?"

As this ’bombshell news’ spread, it also diverted Maximus’s attention, causing his face to change drastically, "That little monster, was he already at the ’Earth Saint Realm peak’ from the start, or did he just break through?"

Wyatt Barnes’s cultivation also sent Maximus into endless speculation.

Because even he was not sure if Wyatt Barnes had just broken through to the ’Earth Saint Realm peak’... Nonetheless, whether or not he did, Wyatt Barnes’s existence posed a great threat to him.

He knew very well.

Given that Wyatt Barnes’s talent divine root was a ’green divine root’, it also implied that Wyatt Barnes’s future achievements would not be below his.

Moreover, with Wyatt Barnes’s exceptional talent in divine abilities, growing up, he could most likely become a character on par with a ’Golden Flame Elder’.

A Golden Flame Elder was an existence above Maximus Lee!

If Wyatt Barnes really reached that level, Maximus Lee would be finished!

Completely finished!

"No way! I can’t delay any longer... Wyatt Barnes must die!"

Upon coming to his senses, Maximus’s breathing turned rapid, his eyes flashing coldly, resembling a venomous snake scanning the surroundings, ready to kill at any moment.

If Wyatt Barnes had a ’yellow divine root’, Maximus Lee might not have cared much about him.

Even knowing that Wyatt Barnes’s talent for comprehending divine abilities was extraordinary!

However, Wyatt Barnes, who possessed a ’green divine root’ and had an extraordinary talent for divine abilities, inevitably filled Maximus Lee with dread and fear.

He was almost certain:

A person like ’Wyatt Barnes’, once matured, would undoubtedly become a significant threat!

"But, he’s in the ’first mining area’, making it not easy to kill him... Moreover, with his current strength, he’s already capable of contending with a regular ’Heavenly Saint Realm late-stage Martial Artist’!"

Thinking of this, Maximus’s face turned somewhat grim.

The Four Symbols Altar’s ’first mining area’, apart from those elders who were originally from there... others could only enter with a Law Enforcement Elder or when taking ’criminals’ there.

Maximus couldn’t even go in, let alone kill someone inside!

"Wyatt Barnes! Do you really think... hiding in the ’first mining area’, I can’t do anything to you?"

After a cold laugh, Maximus left his residence.

Moving swiftly, he stopped in front of a ’Class A’ room in the Black Tortoise Altar disciples’ quarters.

"Elder Maximus Lee!"

"It’s Elder Maximus Lee!"

...

The appearance of Maximus Lee immediately attracted the attention of many disciples from the Black Tortoise Altar.

"Kian Hayden!"

Maximus paused after reaching the ’Room A’, gazed at it briefly, then extended his Divine Sense effortlessly into the room, sending a message to the disciple inside the Black Tortoise Altar.

"Who is it?!"

The disciple originally cultivating inside was abruptly awakened, his expression changed dramatically, eyes blazing with anger, he was itching to slap the intruder a few times.

"It’s me, Maximus Lee."

The voice transmission through Divine Sense came again, further altering the disciple’s expression.

However, this time, his expression was no longer ugly, and he forced out a smile that looked worse than crying.

Not only that.

The blazing anger in his eyes also dissipated at this moment.

"Creak—"

Under the watchful eye of Maximus Lee, the door of Room A opened, and a disciple from the Black Tortoise Altar walked out, respectfully saluted him, "Greetings, Elder Maximus Lee!"

This disciple from the Black Tortoise Altar was a middle-aged man, of ordinary appearance and medium build, extremely inconspicuous...

So inconspicuous that he’d be impossible to find once lost in a crowd!

"It’s Senior Brother Kian Hayden!"

"Why is Elder Maximus Lee looking for Senior Brother Kian Hayden?"

...

Immediately, those disciples from the Black Tortoise Altar who hadn’t returned to their residences saw the middle-aged man called out by Maximus Lee.

When they saw this middle-aged man, their eyes inadvertently filled with deep respect.

Kian Hayden, was acknowledged as the ’Senior Brother’ among these disciples in recent years!

Kian Hayden was recognized as ’Senior Brother’ because his strength was formidable, and his cultivation had already broken through to the ’late Heavenly Saint Realm’ long ago.

Kian Hayden was, at present, the only disciple in the Black Tortoise Altar to have reached the late Heavenly Saint Realm!

However, now, seeing Maximus come for Kian Hayden, they found it rather curious... unsure why Maximus was seeking Kian Hayden.

From what they knew, the two seemed to have no particular connection.

Just as the group of Black Tortoise Altar disciples were still puzzled.

"Come with me!"

Maximus Lee greeted Kian Hayden lightly before turning away from the Black Tortoise Altar disciples’ residence, gradually disappearing from their view.

As Maximus’s silhouette drifted away, Kian Hayden, despite his curiosity and doubt, still followed.

Maximus Lee was the foremost Elder Silver Flame of the Black Tortoise Altar!

Moreover, before participating in the upcoming ’Holy Land Examination’, he remained a disciple of the Black Tortoise Altar, hence he dared not easily offend Maximus Lee.

Watching Maximus and Kian Hayden leave in succession, the disciples of the Black Tortoise Altar finally withdrew their gazes.

Despite their curiosity, due to their apprehension of Maximus Lee, none dared to follow.

Outside the Black Tortoise Altar disciples’ residence, in a rather secluded bamboo forest, Maximus Lee halted.

"Elder Maximus Lee, you sought me for a matter?"

Behind him, Kian Hayden paused as well, his face revealing confusion as he looked towards Maximus Lee who had turned around and asked.

"Kian Hayden, I want you to go to the ’primary mine area’ of Four Symbols Altar and kill someone!"

Maximus Lee’s eyes glinted cold, stating directly.

Swoosh!

Upon hearing this, Kian Hayden’s complexion changed dramatically, "Elder Maximus... Elder Maximus Lee, you want me to go to the primary mine area to kill ’Wyatt Barnes’?"

Although Kian Hayden had spent most of his recent time in seclusion, he did emerge occasionally.

Thus, he was fully aware of matters regarding ’Wyatt Barnes’.

It was precisely because of this that when Maximus bluntly told him to go to the Four Symbols Altar primary mine area to kill, his first thought was ’Wyatt Barnes’.

"Correct!"

Listening to Kian Hayden’s inquiry, Maximus Lee nodded.

"Elder Maximus Lee, I can’t comply!"

Taking a deep breath, Kian Hayden directly refused Maximus Lee.

Not to mention his lack of absolute assurance in killing Wyatt Barnes, even if he could kill Wyatt Barnes, then what?

Ultimately, wouldn’t he still face execution for violating the Fire Worship Sect’s rules?

"Kian Hayden, have you thought it through... If I am not mistaken, your family, the ’Hayden Family’, resides in the West Region!"

Seeing Kian Hayden’s refusal, Maximus didn’t seem surprised, speaking blandly.

When he mentioned the latter part, he gave Kian Hayden a meaningful glance.

Instantly, Kian Hayden’s face changed, "Elder Maximus Lee... are you threatening me?"

"You can consider it a threat."

Maximus’s tone remained unperturbed, as if casually discussing something trivial, "Think carefully... is your own life more important, or is the life of your entire Hayden family more important!"
