Chapter 2034: First Arrival at the Enforcement Hall
Out in the world, one day has passed, but in the fourth level of the Seven Treasure Exquisite Pagoda, ten days have passed.
During these ten days, Wyatt Barnes worked hard to calm his mind for cultivation. Although his cultivation level did not make further progress, it was thoroughly consolidated.
"Give me half a month’s time... I will surely break through to the ’mid Earth Saint Realm’!"
In the fourth level of the Seven Treasure Exquisite Pagoda, Wyatt Barnes, sitting cross-legged in the void, suddenly opened his eyes, a glimmer flashing, like two brilliant stars in the night sky.
Of course, the half-month’s time Wyatt refers to is the half-month in the outside world.
Equivalent to five months in the fourth level of the Seven Treasure Exquisite Pagoda.
Now, with his innate talent, the ’Green Spirit Root’, and the assistance of the fourth level of the Seven Treasure Exquisite Pagoda, Wyatt Barnes’ cultivation speed was not much worse than that of a prodigy with a ’Blue Spirit Root’.
"Now, it’s also time to head to the ’Enforcement Hall’!"
With this thought, Wyatt Barnes left the Seven Treasure Exquisite Pagoda, left his residence, and flew towards the direction of the ’Holy Island’.
The Enforcement Hall is located on the Holy Island.
This is something Wyatt Barnes knew well.
Traveling all the way north, Wyatt Barnes quickly arrived at the area where the Enforcement Hall is located, a place rarely visited by outsiders.
"Have you taken on the task issued by our Enforcement Hall and come to serve as a ’true disciple’ at our Enforcement Hall?"
As soon as Wyatt Barnes entered the area where the Enforcement Hall is located, he heard a voice coming from the sky.
Soon after, a figure descended from above the clouds, appearing in front of him in an instant.
Upon closer inspection, Wyatt Barnes saw clearly who it was.
The newcomer was a middle-aged man dressed in the unique attire of the Holy Land Copper Flame Elders. Unlike the usual Copper Flame Elder attire, the chest of his garment had the word ’Enforcement’ embroidered on it in bold letters.
This indicated that he was an ’Enforcement Hall Elder’!
"Yes."
In the face of the Enforcement Hall Elder’s inquiry, Wyatt Barnes nodded.
"Do you have ’proof’?"
The Enforcement Hall Elder appearing in front of Wyatt Barnes asked directly. Typically, any true disciple serving at the Enforcement Hall would have received a ’proof’ document issued by the Heritage Hall on the central plaza.
"Yes."
Wyatt Barnes nodded again and took out the ’proof’ document he had obtained from the Heritage Hall yesterday, handing it over to the Enforcement Hall Elder in front of him.
The Enforcement Hall Elder reached out to receive it, his gaze then falling upon the ’proof’.
Suddenly.
As if he had seen something astonishing, the Enforcement Hall Elder’s pupils contracted sharply and his expression changed in an instant.
"Hiss—"
Suddenly, the Enforcement Hall Elder drew a sharp breath, and when he looked at Wyatt Barnes again, there was a hint of reverence in his eyes:
"You... you are ’Wyatt Barnes’?"
Even though he was a Copper Flame Elder of the Holy Land, and moreover an Enforcement Hall Elder, his strength was equivalent to that of ’Fore Reid’, inferior to Emma Wenston, who ranked ninth on the True Inheritant List.
Facing this young man who could easily overpower Emma Wenston, and forced Fore Reid to apologize, he felt nothing but awe aside from surprise.
Perhaps, the person in front of him was much younger.
But precisely because the person’s strength far exceeded his own, he dared not act arrogantly, for this is a world where the strong are respected, not the old.
"Mm."
Facing the Enforcement Hall Elder’s inquiry, Wyatt Barnes nodded.
"Your transition with the previous batch of true disciples serving in our Enforcement Hall is conducted in our Enforcement Hall’s ’main hall’... Let me take you there."
Returning the ’proof’ document to Wyatt Barnes, the Enforcement Hall Elder volunteered to lead Wyatt Barnes to the main hall.
"Wouldn’t this be too much trouble? Otherwise, elder, you could just point me in the direction."
Wyatt Barnes said courteously.
He has always been someone who repays courtesy tenfold, and facing this polite Enforcement Hall Elder, he responded with equal courtesy.
Even though he now wielded the ’Splendid Fairy Sword’ with strength far surpassing the elder, he had no intention of belittling him.
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all... It is my honor to guide someone as talented as you."
The Enforcement Hall Elder shook his head and said.
Seeing how insistent this Enforcement Hall Elder was, Wyatt Barnes did not refuse further and followed him to the main hall of the Enforcement Hall.
"What is your name, elder?"
On the way, Wyatt Barnes asked at an appropriate time.
"I am Abdiel Jones."
The Enforcement Hall Elder promptly responded to Wyatt Barnes, then somewhat apprehensively added: "You don’t have to call me ’Elder’... Just address me by name."
"Elder Abdiel, you are an elder of the Fire Worship Sect, and I am a disciple... It is only right for me to call you ’Elder’, so there’s no need to overthink it."
Seemingly recognizing Abdiel’s apprehension, Wyatt Barnes shook his head and said.
Ever since joining the Fire Worship Sect, it was his first time encountering an elder as polite as Abdiel Jones, who seemed profoundly anxious just by being addressed as ’Elder’.
Wyatt Barnes was unaware:
Now, in the eyes of the Fire Worship Sect’s copper flame elders, he has become synonymous with ’untouchable’.
The copper flame elders were not just wary of his strength but even more so of his audacity!
After all, not everyone has the guts to publicly humiliate the personal disciple of a golden flame elder, nor does everyone have the courage to force the son of the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall to apologize voluntarily.
To say nothing else, among the true disciples, Wyatt Barnes is not the only one stronger than Emma Wenston and Fore Reid.
However, the one who dares to target Emma Wenston and Fore Reid in that manner is only Wyatt Barnes!
Therefore, in the eyes of the Fire Worship Sect’s copper flame elders, Wyatt Barnes, although merely a true disciple, is an ’odd species’ among them, an existence they cannot provoke.
As a result, even Abdiel Jones was somewhat awed and apprehensive when facing Wyatt Barnes now.
"Elder Abdiel, could you briefly introduce the ’Enforcement Hall’ to me?"
Wyatt Barnes asked.
"Of course."
Abdiel immediately nodded, then began introducing the Enforcement Hall to Wyatt Barnes, "In our Enforcement Hall, there are three halls, each with its own duties... The three halls are the ’main hall’, ’Punishment Hall’, and ’Prisoner Surveillance Hall’."
"Among them, the main hall..."
As Abdiel began to introduce, Wyatt Barnes gained an initial understanding of the Enforcement Hall.
The Enforcement Hall is divided into three halls.
Main hall, Punishment Hall, and Prisoner Surveillance Hall.
And from this, he learned that Keer and her mother were imprisoned in the ’Prisoner Surveillance Hall’!
"Elder Abdiel, since the Prisoner Surveillance Hall is a major area of the Enforcement Hall... the people guarding it should also be existences on par with the silver flame elders, right?"
Wyatt Barnes asked seemingly casually but with intention.
Now, he just wanted to understand the situation regarding the ’Prisoner Surveillance Hall’. If only some copper flame elders were guarding it, he might have a chance to rescue Keer and her mother.
Of course, he only entertained this thought, because even he felt it was unrealistic.
The Enforcement Hall has so many silver flame elders; how could they possibly assign only a group of copper flame elders to guard the most important ’Prisoner Surveillance Hall’?
"Hmm."
Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Abdiel also immediately nodded, "Usually, there are three silver flame elders responsible for guarding the Prisoner Surveillance Hall... And to enter the Prisoner Surveillance Hall, you need their joint approval."
"Additionally, if anything happens in the Prisoner Surveillance Hall, they all have ’transmission Taoist talismans’, which can notify our Lord Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall and several Vice Hall Masters at the first moment."
Abdiel said.
"That being said, isn’t the Prisoner Surveillance Hall impregnable? And it would be impossible for anyone imprisoned inside to be rescued?"
Wyatt Barnes asked seemingly surprised.
In fact, Wyatt Barnes’s mood was now somewhat low.
Because this also meant:
Before he possesses strength surpassing the Lord Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, attempting to rescue Keer and her mother is unrealistic.
"Indeed."
Abdiel nodded and continued, "With our Lord Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall around, unless the person coming is an existence on the level of our Fire Worship Sect’s Protectors... Otherwise, rescuing people from the Prisoner Surveillance Hall is simply impossible!"
Mentioning the Lord Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, a look of inner reverence appeared in Abdiel’s eyes.
For every elder of the Enforcement Hall, the Lord Hall Master is the supreme existence, second only in their hearts to the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect.
Even the Three Great Protectors of the Fire Worship Sect do not hold as high a place in their eyes as their Lord Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall!
Abdiel, speaking to himself, failed to notice:
Wyatt Barnes’s face, at some unknown time, had turned completely gloomy.
Only when Abdiel subconsciously glanced at Wyatt Barnes did the gloom on Wyatt Barnes’s face disperse, returning to a calm demeanor.
"Up ahead is our Enforcement Hall’s ’main hall’."
After walking further along the road, Abdiel’s timely voice made Wyatt Barnes look into the distance.
In the distance, a vast and stretching palace stood there, resembling a Divine Dragon crouching on the earth, invisibly exerting a pressure from the depths of one’s heart.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, two whistling sounds pierced the air as Wyatt Barnes snapped back to reality, immediately spotting two swift figures passing by him, ultimately entering the main hall of the Enforcement Hall.
"Are they also true disciples here to take their turn?"
Though the pair moved quickly, Wyatt Barnes still saw the distinctive clothing of the Holy Land’s true disciples on them.
"I also need to return to patrol, so I’ll leave you here... Hopefully, we can meet again when we’re both free."
Abdiel remarked with a smile to Wyatt Barnes and prepared to depart.
"Elder Abdiel, thank you for showing me the way. I, Wyatt Barnes, will remember this favor!"
Wyatt Barnes expressed his gratitude to Abdiel.
After Abdiel left, Wyatt Barnes also followed the two true disciples into the ’main hall’ of the Enforcement Hall.
"I hope Keer and Paisley Flores are imprisoned together... That way, I’ll have a chance to see them."
As he stepped into the ’main hall’ of the Enforcement Hall, Wyatt Barnes privately hoped.
