Chapter 2082: Leilani Brightfall’s Speculation
Actually.
On returning to the Brightfall Family today, before seeking out her father.
When she first heard Wyatt Barnes introduce himself with his ’name’, Leilani Brightfall was momentarily stunned.
Simply because, the name ’Wyatt Barnes’ was not unfamiliar to her.
Or rather, it was not unfamiliar to anyone from the ’West Region’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.
Although, the Brightfall Family located in ’Airebright City’ is in the peripheral zone of the West Region, it is still within the West Region, and major ’events’ in the West Region will also reach Airebright City.
For the people of the West Region, these ’major events’ mostly stem from the Holy Teaching of the ’Fire Worship Sect’!
Besides being the ’faith’ of many in the West Region, the Fire Worship Sect is one of the three major sects of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, and it is the most superior and powerful of the three major forces!
Therefore, most people in the West Region pay attention to the Fire Worship Sect’s movements.
Not long ago, shocking news came out from the Fire Worship Sect, shaking not only the entire ’West Region’ but even spreading throughout the ’Upper Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land!
This news was about a newly emerged ’tianjiao’ from the Fire Worship Sect!
Since the birth of this tianjiao, the younger generation in the Fire Worship Sect had ’Eight Great Tianjiao’!
The Eight Great Tianjiao of the Fire Worship Sect are all young, having made their way into the powerful existence of the ’Extreme Saint Ranking’, where the weaker ones are in the ’Saint Immortal Second Transformation’, and they are outstanding among those with Saint Immortal Second Transformation.
"Wyatt Barnes? Isn’t that the name of the newly emerged ’tianjiao’ from the Fire Worship Sect?"
Therefore, when Leilani Brightfall heard Wyatt Barnes introduce his ’real name’ today, this thought immediately came to her mind.
Before today, the name ’Wyatt Barnes’ was already deeply etched in Leilani Brightfall’s mind.
Simply because, this is the name of the eighth ’tianjiao’ born to the Fire Worship Sect!
Leilani Brightfall also had some understanding of the new tianjiao ’Wyatt Barnes’ from the Fire Worship Sect:
Wyatt Barnes, one of the Eight Great Tianjiao of the Fire Worship Sect, is also the newly emerged ’tianjiao’, reportedly having joined the Fire Worship Sect for less than a year.
And within less than a year.
Wyatt Barnes made a name for himself in the Fire Worship Sect, directly becoming the ’Fourth Tianjiao’ among the Eight Great Tianjiao of the Fire Worship Sect, ranking just below three inner disciples whose cultivation had entered the ’Saint Immortal Third Transformation’ in the ’True Inheritance List’ of the Fire Worship Sect!
Additionally, he even broke into the ’Extreme Saint Ranking’, ranking five hundred thirty-seventh!
This is what Leilani Brightfall knew about the Fire Worship Sect’s tianjiao ’Wyatt Barnes’.
However.
Leilani Brightfall was still unaware:
Just recently, the tianjiao ’Wyatt Barnes’ from the Fire Worship Sect, forcefully defeated the inner disciple ranked second in the Fire Worship Sect’s ’True Inheritance List’, Bruce, a Saint Immortal Third Transformation disciple, taking their place and becoming the new second person in the ’True Inheritance List’!
The current Wyatt Barnes is also recognized as the ’Second Tianjiao’ among the younger generation of the Fire Worship Sect!
Additionally, the Bruce who Wyatt Barnes forcefully defeated was not only the second person in the Fire Worship Sect’s ’True Inheritance List’, but he also was ranked four hundred twenty-first in the ’Extreme Saint Ranking’.
Wyatt Barnes defeating him also means he has taken his place, ranking four hundred twenty-first in the ’Extreme Saint Ranking’!
The reason why Leilani Brightfall was unaware of these matters was that these events happened recently and had not yet spread to ’Airebright City’.
"A name as ’Wyatt Barnes’, so young, with such strength... Could he really be the ’tianjiao’ Wyatt Barnes from the Fire Worship Sect?!"
Upon further contemplation, Leilani Brightfall increasingly confirmed:
The purple-robed youth she met today at the tavern is indeed the ’tianjiao’ Wyatt Barnes from the Fire Worship Sect!
"If he is Wyatt Barnes, then his request for me to help conceal his ’real name’ is easily explained... It is said that he has offended several people in the Fire Worship Sect, including high-ranking sect members! He likely wishes to keep his name hidden to avoid the high-ranking sect members learning that he is in ’Airebright City’, which would be detrimental to him."
It must be said, Leilani Brightfall is extremely smart.
She pieced together various past ’messages’ to deduce half of Wyatt Barnes’ inner thoughts.
As to why she only deduced half, it was because:
Wyatt Barnes doesn’t want the few high-ranking members of the Fire Worship Sect to know he is in Airebright City because he is concerned that those few high-ranking members will retaliate against the Brightfall Family or against Leilani Brightfall after he leaves Airebright City!
As for himself, he doesn’t worry.
Because he won’t stay long in Airebright City. By the time those high-ranking members in the Fire Worship Sect find out he’s in Airebright City, he will have already left.
"You... don’t want to die?"
When the four elders of the Easton Family were in a state of extreme anxiety, awaiting Wyatt Barnes’ ’judgment’, Wyatt Barnes finally spoke up. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked the four whether they didn’t want to die.
Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, the Brightfall Family head, the Brightfall Family’s Grand Elder, and the Brightfall Family’s Second Elder were momentarily speechless.
If they didn’t fear death, would the four elders from the Easton Family be acting so cowardly?
They simply thought Wyatt Barnes’ question was rather redundant.
Of course, they only thought this in their minds, not daring to say it out loud, fearing it might provoke Wyatt Barnes.
With the strength this self-proclaimed ’Eden Lee’ loose cultivator displayed earlier, it would be easy not only to eliminate a few Saint Immortal Realm experts from the Easton Family but also to wipe them out along with these three people!
"Sir, I don’t want to die!"
The Grand Elder of the Easton Family confessed first with a face full of panic, admitting he did not want to die.
If he didn’t fear death, why would he work hard to apprehend the Easton Family’s Second Young Master, Bless Easton, and bring him before Wyatt Barnes?
Although, given Wyatt Barnes’ strength, it would be impossible for Bless Easton to escape.
But, by taking on this task himself, wasn’t it also a chance for him to ’show off’ in front of Wyatt Barnes?
"Sir, I don’t want to die either!"
The Second Elder of the Easton Family followed quickly, speaking in a panicked tone.
"Sir Eden Lee, I don’t want to die!"
"Sir Eden Lee, I don’t want to die!"
The other two Easton Family elders, also kneeling on the ground, echoed these sentiments, their hearts growing increasingly uneasy.
Now, their ’life and death’ are in the hands of the young man in violet standing before them.
If he wills them to live, they shall live.
If he wills them to die, they shall die!
"It’s not hard for you not to die..."
Wyatt Barnes spoke calmly, pausing as he continued.
In an instant, the eyes of the four Easton Family elders lit up, as if they were clutching onto a lifeline!
"However, you must demonstrate your sincerity."
After a brief pause, Wyatt continued.
At this point, Wyatt’s gaze left the four Easton Family elders and fell upon the eldest daughter of the Brightfall Family, Leilani Brightfall.
He then remained silent.
As Wyatt’s words faded, the four Easton Family elders, intently watching him, immediately noticed the shift in his gaze.
Following Wyatt’s gaze, they looked towards Leilani Brightfall standing in the distance.
"I, Harbour Easton, swear by blood..."
The Grand Elder of the Easton Family realized at once, quickly breaking his finger and squeezing out a drop of blood, then proclaimed loudly:
"From today forth, I, Harbour Easton, shall honor the eldest daughter of the Brightfall Family, Leilani Brightfall, as my master, adhering solely to Miss Leilani’s commands and shall not do anything to harm her... If I violate this oath, I shall willingly be struck dead by the Ninefold Thunder Tribulation!"
As the words of Harbour Easton, the Grand Elder of the Easton Family, fell.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
Nine claps of thunder descended from the skies, responding to the ’Thunder Punishment vow’ just sworn by Harbour Easton.
Leilani Brightfall was dumbfounded.
She now had another servant?
Moreover, a servant stronger than the Second Elder of the Brightfall Family, Wells Brightfall, with strength comparable to their Grand Elder?
As Leilani stood dumbfounded, the Grand Elder of the Brightfall Family was also in shock.
He could never have imagined that Harbour Easton, a mighty presence rivaling him in Airebright City, would willingly acknowledge Leilani as his master and become her ’servant’ merely to survive.
However, contemplating further, if he were Harbour Easton, faced with life and death, he might have made the same decision.
After all, his martial prowess had not come easily.
If he died, it would mean losing millennia of life!
For survival, some dignity seemed trivial.
Wells Brightfall, the Second Elder of the Brightfall Family, wasn’t the least bit surprised by this, as if he had foreseen such an ’outcome.’
As for the head of the Brightfall Family, Collin Brightfall, he was utterly bewildered.
The Grand Elder of the Easton Family, Harbour Easton, someone he once held in high regard due to his strength comparable to the Brightfall Family’s Grand Elder... and now, he swore a ’Thunder Punishment vow’ recognizing his daughter as his master?
"Am I dreaming...?"
Initially, Collin Brightfall was stupefied.
However, after confirming he wasn’t dreaming, he couldn’t help but be joyously ecstatic!
Harbour Easton’s becoming his daughter’s servant meant that to some extent, Harbour Easton was now part of the Brightfall Family.
Should the Fenning Family, the premier family in Airebright City, ever act against them, they wouldn’t have to worry about Harbour Easton not assisting!
Soon enough, the wild joy on Collin’s face abruptly froze.
Just because he heard:
Beam Easton, the Second Elder of the Easton Family, like Harbour Easton, followed suit, swearing a Thunder Punishment vow acknowledging his daughter, Leilani Brightfall, as his master.
Immediately, Collin was again profoundly moved.
This time, not only was Collin thrilled, but even the Grand Elder of the Brightfall Family exhibited a measure of excitement.
In the past, the Brightfall Family had feared the leading family of Airebright City, the Fenning Family, because they had a total of five Saint Immortal Realm powerhouses.
The two strongest were on par with the Brightfall Family’s Grand Elder, while the other two matched the Brightfall Family’s Second Elder in strength.
The Brightfall Family had allied with the Easton Family, hoping that the Grand Elder and the Second Elder of the Easton Family could assist them in critical times against the Fenning Family.
Likewise, the Easton Family had the same hope for the Grand and Second Elders of the Brightfall Family.
