Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 1993: Fire Worship Sect’s First Elder Silver Flame

Wade Yorke led the way, with Wyatt Barnes closely following behind, as they entered the Life and Death Hall.

Upon entering the hall, Wyatt Barnes immediately noticed a ’death arena’ in the distance.

The arena was vast, and except for the side where Wyatt stood, the other three sides were stepped seating areas for the audience, but they were currently empty.

One could vaguely see numerous dried bloodstains on the expansive arena.

These bloodstains were clearly remnants from before.

"Is this the ’death arena’?"

Wyatt Barnes squinted his eyes at that moment.

The death arena was provided by the Life and Death Hall for two Holy Land disciples of the Fire Worship Sect who had established a Life and Death Covenant to duel to the death. Of the two who stepped onto the death arena, it was destined that one would die.

"Are you two here to sign a Life and Death Contract?"

Just as Wyatt Barnes and Wade Yorke were focusing on the distant ’death arena’, a hoarse voice reached their ears.

The hoarse voice initially sounded far away but suddenly seemed to echo right next to them.

Wyatt Barnes and Wade Yorke snapped back to reality and immediately noticed an aged elder by their side, who had appeared without them knowing.

The elder was emaciated and ordinary-looking, dressed in attire exclusive to members of the Elder Silver Flame. He was indeed an ’Elder Silver Flame’.

"The steward of the Life and Death Hall?"

Following their journey here, Wyatt Barnes had learned about some details of the ’Life and Death Hall’ from several Holy Land disciples and knew that within the Life and Death Hall, there was one ’Elder Silver Flame’ and three ’Elder Bronze Flames’.

The only ’Elder Silver Flame’ was precisely the steward of the Life and Death Hall!

The steward of the Life and Death Hall was named Asaiah Nigel, recognized as the top Elder Silver Flame in the Fire Worship Sect.

If Maximus Lee was the top Elder Silver Flame of the Black Tortoise Altar, one of the Four Symbols Altars,

then Asaiah Nigel was the top Elder Silver Flame of the entire Fire Worship Sect!

"Is this the steward of the Life and Death Hall? A powerhouse ranked within the top one hundred of the Extreme Saint Ranking?"

Looking at this unassuming elder, Wyatt Barnes secretly inhaled sharply.

While on the road earlier, a group of Holy Land disciples had naturally brought up the steward of the Life and Death Hall, Asaiah Nigel, when mentioning the ’Life and Death Hall’.

So, Wyatt Barnes knew that Asaiah Nigel was not only the steward but also ranked seventy-eighth on the Extreme Saint Ranking!

It was said that among all the Elder Silver Flames of the Fire Worship Sect, only two were ranked within the top one hundred of the Extreme Saint Ranking.

Asaiah Nigel was ranked seventy-eighth, while the other Elder Silver Flame ranked ninety-ninth, falling far short of Asaiah Nigel.

"True disciple Wade Yorke pays respects to Elder Asaiah Nigel!"

As Wyatt Barnes speculated that the person before him was Asaiah Nigel, with countless thoughts running through his mind, Wade Yorke had already respectfully bowed to the elder.

Even someone as proud as Wade Yorke lowered his head before Elder Asaiah Nigel.

"Wyatt Barnes, greetings to Elder Asaiah Nigel."

Wade Yorke’s voice snapped Wyatt Barnes back to reality, and he too nodded in acknowledgment to the elder.

Meanwhile, Wyatt Barnes noticed the calm gaze of the elder sweeping over him and Wade Yorke. The calm gaze, however, brought with it an invisible pressure of sorts, a psychological pressure.

"Have you two come to the Life and Death Hall to establish a ’Life and Death Contract’ and engage in a duel to the death?"

Finally, the elder spoke, inquiring.

As the steward of the Life and Death Hall, he naturally knew that typically, Holy Land disciples would not come to him unless they wished to engage in a duel to the death.

With Asaiah Nigel’s words, Wade Yorke did not respond to the elder but instead looked toward Wyatt Barnes, wanting to see how Wyatt Barnes would answer...

Because, if Wyatt Barnes now said ’yes’, then, if he later regretted it, although the steward of the Life and Death Hall wouldn’t force him to sign the Life and Death Contract, disciplining him a bit was inevitable.

This was considered toying with the steward of the Life and Death Hall and desecrating its dignity, and it wouldn’t be unwarranted for the steward to discipline him.

As long as he wasn’t killed or crippled, even the Enforcement Hall of the Holy Land wouldn’t intervene.

"Yes."

Seeing that Wade Yorke didn’t respond to Asaiah Nigel but looked over instead, Wyatt Barnes naturally guessed his intention, yet he answered without any hesitation.

And his response caused a slight change in Wade Yorke’s expression.

However, Wade Yorke’s expression only changed for a moment before a look of schadenfreude emerged, clearly still doubting that Wyatt Barnes would dare to truly establish a Life and Death Contract.

"Follow me."

After Asaiah Nigel spoke, he walked to the side.

Wyatt Barnes and Wade Yorke followed closely behind.

Soon, under Asaiah Nigel’s instructions, one of the other three Elder Bronze Flames in the Life and Death Hall retrieved a ’Life and Death Contract’ paper, a brush dipped in ink, and a specially crafted inkpad.

"Who goes first?"

Asaiah Nigel looked at Wyatt Barnes and Wade Yorke, and asked indifferently.

"Him!"

Wyatt Barnes and Wade Yorke looked at each other almost simultaneously and said in unison.

"Hmph!"

Seeing the two shirk responsibility like this, Asaiah Nigel couldn’t help but snort coldly, then looked at Wade Yorke and said indifferently, "Earlier when I asked whether you came to the Life and Death Hall to sign the ’Life and Death Contract’, you didn’t respond... now, you will be the first to sign this ’Life and Death Contract’!"

Wade Yorke never imagined that his previous silence would put him in such a predicament.

Asaiah Nigel actually wanted him to be the first to sign the ’Life and Death Contract’!

The first thing that came to his mind was the death of his younger brother ’Warren Yorke’, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit apprehensive, then he looked at Asaiah Nigel and said, "Elder Nigel, could you let him sign the ’Life and Death Contract’ first? As long as he dares to sign it, I will definitely follow!"

"Haha... Wade, you are at least a ’true disciple’, could it be that you are afraid of me, an ordinary elite disciple?"

As soon as Wade Yorke finished speaking, Asaiah Nigel’s face turned grim, while Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but laugh out loud, not forgetting to mock Wade Yorke.

He certainly wouldn’t be the first to sign the ’Life and Death Contract’.

If he signs the contract first and Wade Yorke backs out, what then?

You must know, his purpose for coming here today is to kill Wade Yorke.

Not just because Wade Yorke wants to kill him, but also because Wade Yorke’s father, the Fifth Elder of the North Qizong, ’Russel Yorke’, previously threatened him... Russel Yorke wants to harm his family!

For Wyatt Barnes, when Russel Yorke threatened his family, he was already diametrically opposed to him, with no end but death!

Russel Yorke wants to move against his family, so he will kill Russel Yorke’s son!

The younger one has already been dealt with, now he’ll take care of the older one too!

"Russel Yorke... I really want to see what kind of expression you’ll have when you find out that your eldest son also died by my hand."

Wyatt Barnes thought fiercely to himself.

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Wade Yorke’s face immediately became unsightly, and he glared at Wyatt Barnes with anger.

"Wade Yorke? You are the son of the North Qizong’s Fifth Elder ’Russel Yorke’?"

At the same time, Asaiah Nigel looked at Wade Yorke and asked indifferently.

"I am."

Upon hearing Asaiah Nigel’s question, Wade Yorke quickly withdrew his glare at Wyatt Barnes and responded respectfully.

"Your father is at least a powerful figure ranked one hundred forty-six on the Extreme Saint Ranking... as his son, you are our Holy Land’s ’true disciple’, and you’ve come to my Life and Death Hall with others, are you not bold enough to sign this ’Life and Death Contract’? If not, then get out now!"

Asaiah Nigel’s words carried a few hints of anger, and his tone was unfriendly as he spoke.

At the same time, Asaiah Nigel’s body emitted an imposing aura, enveloping Wade Yorke, whose face turned pale and flushed alternately.

"Tsk tsk..."

Wyatt Barnes said disdainfully, "I wonder, if the Fifth Elder of North Qizong ’Russel Yorke’ finds out that his eldest son just missed the chance to avenge his younger brother... would he be so angry that he coughs up three liters of blood?"

As Wyatt Barnes finished speaking, Wade Yorke’s pupils involuntarily contracted.

Asaiah Nigel also looked at Wyatt Barnes at the right moment, showing a hint of surprise in his eyes, "You are ’Wyatt Barnes’?"

Regarding the incident of the North Qizong’s Fifth Elder Russel Yorke’s son ’Warren Yorke’ being killed, although Asaiah Nigel was in the Fire Worship Sect Holy Land, he had heard about it, knowing Warren Yorke died at the hands of a disciple named ’Wyatt Barnes’ from the Black Tortoise Temple.

He had even heard quite a lot about Wyatt Barnes later on.

He knew Wyatt Barnes had successfully comprehended the Black Tortoise Temple’s Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Shield’, allowing him to come to their Holy Land early as a ’Holy Land disciple’.

However, although he had heard about Wyatt Barnes numerous times, he had never seen Wyatt Barnes before today, so he didn’t recognize Wyatt Barnes.

"I am."

Facing Asaiah Nigel, Wyatt Barnes quickly put away his disdain and replied respectfully with a nod.

"I’ll sign!!"

And just as Asaiah Nigel looked at Wyatt Barnes, intending to say something, Wade Yorke suddenly shouted.

Immediately after, Wade Yorke, with red eyes, stepped forward, took a brush from the Copper Flame Elder of the Life and Death Hall, and swiftly signed his name ’Wade Yorke’ on the Life and Death Contract.

Slap!

A soft sound followed as Wade Yorke placed his right palm on a specially made inkpad, then used his ink-covered hand to imprint his handprint on the Life and Death Contract.

After unilaterally signing the ’Life and Death Contract’, Wade Yorke turned around, looked at Wyatt Barnes, and said with a cold smile, "Wyatt Barnes, if you don’t dare to sign this Life and Death Contract, then you are mocking Elder Nigel and desecrating the Life and Death Hall!"

As soon as Wade Yorke spoke, Wyatt Barnes was cornered into opposing the Life and Death Hall.

And as Wade Yorke spoke, apart from Asaiah Nigel, whose gaze remained calm, the other three Copper Flame Elders of the Life and Death Hall glared at Wyatt Barnes with hostility.

"You needn’t worry about that."

Upon hearing Wade Yorke’s words, Wyatt Barnes shrugged indifferently and said casually.
