Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2013: Wyatt Barnes Leaves Seclusion

Inside the pavilion, ’Case Moon’, shrouded entirely in black clothing, heard the conversation between Karina Hanson and Demetrius Nangle outside, yet he couldn’t help but shake his head.

He naturally knew who the inheritor of the ’Yan Yu lineage’ was.

However, because Destiny had instructed beforehand, he did not reveal much in front of the Brother Nangle.

"I wonder, when Karina, that girl, meets the ’super abnormal’ she talks about... what expression will she have?"

Thinking of this, Case Moon’s enchanting face hidden under the hooded black garb revealed a wicked smile, looking quite peculiar with an almost genderless feel.

Karina had no idea what Case Moon was currently thinking.

Otherwise, she would definitely break in and try every possible way to get Case Moon to tell her who the inheritor of the ’Yan Yu lineage’ is!

Time flew by, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

A month might seem long to ordinary people.

But in the eyes of Martial Dao Sacred Land dwellers, it wasn’t considered long, as even a casual closed-door training usually lasted longer.

West Region, Fire Worship Sect.

In the Holy Island, numerous independent airborne islands floated around, encircling the Holy Island like stars embracing the moon.

These islands were the residences of the ’Elder Silver Flame’ and ’True Inheritor Disciples’ of the Sacred Land.

"Creak—"

Suddenly, a soft door-opening sound came from one of the airborne islands.

It was Wyatt Barnes, who had been in closed-door training for a whole month, coming out of his room.

Of course, a month had passed outside, but it didn’t mean Wyatt Barnes had only been in closed-door training for a month.

The time flow of the fourth level of the Jewel Tower was ten times slower compared to outside.

Which meant:

Outside, one month had passed, while three hundred days had already passed inside the fourth level of the Jewel Tower.

A month later, Wyatt Barnes’ demeanor underwent some subtle changes.

Of course, the change was very slight, and ordinary people couldn’t notice it.

"Now, it’s time to find Reuben Willow and ask about the ’Enforcement Hall’..."

In a murmur, Wyatt Barnes rose into the air, leaving the spacious mansion, leaving his solitary airborne island, flying towards another distant airborne island.

Throughout, Wyatt Barnes never forgot the ’purpose’ of infiltrating the Fire Worship Sect.

Along the way, Wyatt Barnes coincidently passed by two ’True Inheritor Disciples’.

These two True Inheritor Disciples didn’t recognize Wyatt Barnes.

"Is there such a figure among True Inheritor Disciples?"

One of the two True Inheritor Disciples paused and looked back at Wyatt Barnes’ silhouette with a hint of puzzlement, "There are over a hundred and seventy True Inheritor Disciples, I’ve seen almost all of them... but this person, it’s my first time seeing him."

Puzzled, this True Inheritor Disciple asked his companion, "Have you seen him before?"

"Never seen him."

The other True Inheritor Disciple shook his head, "Perhaps he’s someone who recently became a ’True Inheritor Disciple’."

"Recently became a True Inheritor Disciple?"

Hearing this, the previous True Inheritor Disciple suddenly had his pupils contract, showing a look of horror, "Could it be... he... he is that ’Wyatt Barnes’?"

Wyatt Barnes!

Immediately, the pupils of the other True Inheritor Disciple also shrank, and he took a deep breath, regaining composure after a while, "It’s truly possible! Recently, it seems only Wyatt Barnes became a ’True Inheritor Disciple’!"

A month ago, the news of Wyatt Barnes killing Wade Yorke to become a ’True Inheritor Disciple’ had already spread throughout the Fire Worship Sect.

Even among a group of True Inheritor Disciples, as long as they weren’t in closed-door training or out of sect, they almost all knew about Wyatt Barnes’ existence.

However, most of them hadn’t seen Wyatt Barnes.

"Even if I were to confront Wade Yorke after he consumed the forbidden elixir, I would undoubtedly die... yet unexpectedly, Wade Yorke, after consuming the forbidden elixir, was still killed by Wyatt Barnes!"

One True Inheritor Disciple looking at Wyatt Barnes’ silhouette, remarked, "His strength surpasses mine."

"Indeed, much stronger than me."

The other True Inheritor Disciple replied with a bitter smile.

Although they were both True Inheritor Disciples listed on the True Inheritance List, their strength was only a bit stronger than Wade Yorke, and their ranking on the True Inheritance List was near the bottom.

"Hmm?"

Wyatt Barnes naturally noticed the two gazes from behind him, paused briefly, and continued forward after realizing that they harbored no hostility.

Before long, Wyatt Barnes arrived outside another independent airborne island.

This airborne island also had a palace standing upon it, identical to the one he lived in.

Here was precisely Reuben Willow’s residence and training ground.

Because traveling from the ’Holy Island’ to the floating isle where Wyatt Barnes currently resides requires passing through here, Reuben Willow mentioned to Wyatt during his last visit that this was his residence.

"Brother Reuben!"

Standing outside the floating isle, Wyatt Barnes called out. Though his voice was not loud, it penetrated through the formations above the isle into the residence within.

If Reuben Willow was in seclusion, Wyatt’s deliberately controlled voice would not disturb him.

And if Reuben Willow was not in seclusion, he would be able to hear Wyatt’s voice.

Whoosh!

Almost as soon as Wyatt finished speaking, a figure rose into the air from the residence on the floating isle ahead, appearing as if transformed into the wind, swiftly arriving beside Wyatt.

"Junior Brother Wyatt."

The newcomer was Reuben Willow, who greeted Wyatt with a smile before inviting him into his residence.

As fellow true disciples, the residences not only look identical from the outside, but the environments inside are also quite similar.

This time, Reuben Willow invited Wyatt to sit in the pavilion in the front yard.

"Junior Brother Wyatt, you’ve come to see me. Is there something important you wish to discuss?"

After sitting down at the stone table in the pavilion, Reuben Willow was the first to speak, inquiring of Wyatt.

"Actually, it’s not anything urgent... I’m simply rather curious about ’it’."

Wyatt casually found an excuse, speaking leisurely.

"About what?"

Reuben Willow asked further.

"Brother Reuben, how much do you know about the ’Enforcement Hall’ of our Fire Worship Sect’s Holy Land?"

Wyatt did not beat around the bush, directly asking the question.

"Enforcement Hall?"

At Wyatt’s question, Reuben Willow was initially taken aback, then asked, "Junior Brother Wyatt, why are you interested in the Enforcement Hall?"

"Brother Reuben, some time ago, a Holy Land Elder Copper Flame was executed by the Enforcement Hall... You must have heard about this, right?"

Not only did Wyatt not answer Reuben’s question, but he also posed this inquiry.

"Yes, I’ve heard. That Holy Land Elder Copper Flame was named ’Jackson Wilson,’ the chief personal disciple of the first Elder Silver Flame of the Black Tortoise Hall, Maximus Lee... Speaking of this, his execution is somewhat related to you,"

Reuben Willow nodded.

The execution of the Holy Land Elder Copper Flame by the Enforcement Hall was a significant event throughout the Fire Worship Sect, and as a ’true disciple,’ he naturally knew about it.

"It was precisely because of that incident that I developed a certain interest in the ’Enforcement Hall’... Brother Reuben, if you are familiar with the Enforcement Hall, would you mind telling me about it?"

Wyatt looked at Reuben Willow, his expression filled with curiosity.

Reuben Willow nodded, then said: "I won’t tell you about the ’functions’ of the Enforcement Hall, since you already know... Let me tell you about the people in the Enforcement Hall."

Upon hearing Reuben Willow’s words, Wyatt’s eyes lit up; this was exactly the information he wanted to know.

"Within the Enforcement Hall, the highest authority lies with the ’Hall Master,’ who directly reports to the Sect Leader... Below the Hall Master, there are three Vice Hall Masters. Further down are some Elder Silver Flames, Elder Copper Flames, along with some true disciples serving in the Enforcement Hall."

Reuben Willow explained.

True disciples serving in the Enforcement Hall?

Almost as soon as Reuben Willow finished speaking, Wyatt’s heart skipped a beat, a hint of delight flashed in his eyes.

Since the Enforcement Hall has true disciples serving, does that mean he might have an opportunity to infiltrate the Enforcement Hall?

Suddenly, Wyatt’s mind became active.

If he could infiltrate the Enforcement Hall, it would mean he could have the chance to meet Keer and her daughter.

At this thought, Wyatt’s heart raced with excitement.

He and Keer had not reunited in a long time, and he had yet to meet their daughter, "I wonder if that girl looks more like Keer or me..."

Thinking of this, Wyatt’s expression softened completely, filled with tender emotions.

Wyatt quickly concealed his expression, so Reuben Willow did not notice the change.

"Brother Reuben... As far as I know, in our Fire Worship Sect, the ’Elder Gold Flames’ either serve as masters of the various halls of the Four Symbols or oversee the mines of the Four Symbols Hall. Yet, according to you, the Enforcement Hall has a Hall Master and three Vice Hall Masters who are all above the Elder Silver Flames?"

This point puzzled Wyatt.

"Junior Brother Wyatt, you might not know... Since the founding of our Fire Worship Sect, the Hall Master and the three Vice Hall Masters of the Enforcement Hall have never been part of our sect’s elder ranks."

Reuben Willow continued: "The Enforcement Hall is a unique and independent place within the Fire Worship Sect, directly reporting to the Sect Leader... The Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, in terms of strength, is as powerful as the two Vice Sect Leaders of our Fire Worship Sect!"

"As for the three Vice Hall Masters under him, their strength is comparable to the Elder Gold Flames guarding the various halls of the Four Symbols!"

After Reuben Willow’s explanation, Wyatt Barnes gained a further understanding of the Fire Worship Sect’s ’Enforcement Hall.’

"I see."

Wyatt initially displayed an expression of sudden realization, then promptly asked: "Brother Reuben, you mentioned there are ’true disciples’ serving in the Enforcement Hall... Do you know how true disciples can get a position in the Enforcement Hall?"
