Chapter 2084: Sin City
Chapter 2084: Sin City
From beginning to end, Wyatt Barnes never forgot his ’purpose’ for leaving the Fire Worship Sect:
To devour the ’talent roots’ of others, enhance his own ’talent roots’, thereby granting himself stronger talents and quickly elevating his strength...
Only by increasing his power could he rescue Keer and her daughter from the Fire Worship Sect!
Today, aside from the talent root of the Easton Family’s Second Young Master, Bless Easton, who was killed by the Easton Family’s Grand Elder, Harbour Easton, and had already been devoured by him.
He personally killed the Second Master of the Brightfall Family, Jaxton Brightfall, and the head of the Easton Family, Hev Easton, yet he didn’t devour their talent roots.
Of course, there was a reason for this:
In the Brightfall Family’s main hall, he successively killed Jaxton Brightfall and Hev Easton, instilling fear in everyone present!
At that moment, he struck cleanly and decisively, his image tall and aloof!
If back then he had devoured their talent roots like he did today with Bless Easton in the tavern, it would undoubtedly have affected the ’aura’ of intimidation he projected to the audience, thus not achieving the intimidating effect he desired.
In that case, his tall and aloof image would have been somewhat tarnished!
Furthermore, neither Jaxton Brightfall nor Hev Easton.
To be honest, even if he had devoured their talent roots, they wouldn’t have helped him much.
Their talent roots were at most ’green roots’; indeed, Jaxton Brightfall’s talent root might have only been a ’yellow root’.
Even if he had devoured their talent roots, there would have been no significant improvement to his already transformed ’dark cyan’ talent root.
Therefore, after weighing the options, Wyatt ultimately didn’t devour their talent roots.
Nonetheless, it was also because of certain ’concerns’ at that time; if he had no concerns, Wyatt would have devoured their talent roots, after all, ’every little bit counts’!
"A place where criminals gather?"
Hearing Wyatt’s words, Leilani Brightfall was momentarily stunned.
Soon after, her beautiful autumn eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of apprehension, as if she suddenly remembered something.
"What? Do you know of such a place?"
Constantly watching Leilani, Wyatt naturally noticed the change in her gaze and couldn’t help but ask, his tone slightly urgent.
After all, he was now eager to find a place where criminals gathered and devour the ’talent roots’ of evil people wantonly!
As long as they were weaker than him, he could devour their ’talent roots’!
Of course, he had principles and wouldn’t randomly devour others’ talent roots.
"I don’t know if it counts as a place where criminals gather... However, as far as I know, the people there are very terrifying, and hurting or killing someone over a disagreement is the ’norm’!"
Faced with Wyatt’s inquiry, Leilani’s exquisitely beautiful face froze slightly for a moment, and then she slowly said.
When mentioning that place, Leilani’s tone was filled with dread.
"Hurting or killing someone over a disagreement is the norm?"
Hearing Leilani’s words, Wyatt’s eyes couldn’t help but focus, then he asked, "What kind of place is that?"
"That place is located in the ’middle territory’, adjacent to the ’Mysterious Buddha Sect’, one of the three major sects... Of course, that place doesn’t have much relation to the Mysterious Buddha Sect, and even disciples of the Mysterious Buddha Sect entering there might get killed without an elder accompanying them! Moreover, often after being killed, the Mysterious Buddha Sect can’t even find out who did it."
Leilani continued, and the apprehension in her autumn-colored eyes grew more pronounced.
"Mysterious Buddha Sect!"
However, upon hearing this from Leilani, Wyatt’s focus completely shifted.
Mysterious Buddha Sect, one of the three major sects in the Martial Dao Sacred Land.
That much, he naturally knew.
But, his agitation when hearing the words ’Mysterious Buddha Sect’ stemmed from that person who once descended into the lower domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, barged into the Mansion of Azure Clouds, killed Old Man Crane, and took away the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ from his hands!
Mysterious Buddha Sect’s elder, Cade Simpson!
He was also the only son of the ’Golden Lion King’, one of the four Great Dharma Kings of the Mysterious Buddha Sect.
"Cade Simpson!"
In an instant, a figure in a gray-white robe with cross-eyed eyes and a hideous face appeared in Wyatt’s mind, a middle-aged man.
And this person was none other than Cade Simpson, the Mysterious Buddha Sect elder who barged into the Mansion of Azure Clouds in the lower domain!
Wyatt still remembered:
Back then, Cade Simpson descended upon the Mansion of Azure Clouds, not only taking away the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ from his hands but also killing his father’s right-hand man, ’Old Man Crane’.
Additionally, a squad of Blackarmor Army guards was killed by Cade Simpson.
It could be said that he and Cade Simpson had long been locked in a death feud!
Now, as soon as he heard that the place Leilani mentioned was right next to the Mysterious Buddha Sect where Cade Simpson was, Wyatt couldn’t help but feel a surge of agitation.
"Wyatt... what’s wrong?"
Leilani naturally sensed the change in Wyatt’s emotions.
"It’s nothing."
Wyatt Barnes snapped back to reality, shook his head, and then said to Leilani Brightfall, "Leilani, tell me more about that place you mentioned earlier."
"Okay."
Leilani nodded obediently, then slowly said, "The place I mentioned is located in the middle territory, it’s called ’Sin City’!"
When she mentioned the words ’Sin City,’ there was once again a hint of dread deep in Leilani’s autumn eyes.
Even though she had never been to that place.
But just hearing others talk about it was enough to instill fear in her.
"Sin City?"
Wyatt Barnes squinted his eyes, intrigued, but didn’t interrupt Leilani, waiting for her to continue.
"Sin City is a city that has existed since the beginning of our Martial Dao Sacred Land’s ’Upper Domain.’ It’s ancient and historical..."
Leilani continued, "It’s said that Sin City was founded by a ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’ powerhouse... and that powerhouse was a loose cultivator!"
"So, in Sin City, the most loose cultivators of the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land gather, many of whom are strong and usually reside there!"
"Additionally, I’ve heard... nowadays, among the loose cultivator powerhouses in Sin City, there are many who can be compared to the senior ranks of the Three Great Sects! Even some loose cultivator powerhouses who can match the level of a Sect Leader from the Three Great Sects are said to exist in Sin City."
"I also think that Sin City should have loose cultivator powerhouses who can rival the Sect Leaders of the Three Great Sects... otherwise, how could Sin City boldly sit near the ’Mysterious Buddha Sect’s base’? And for so many years, there’s been no substantial moves from the Mysterious Buddha Sect against it."
Leilani stopped there for a moment.
She also meant to give Wyatt some time to digest the information.
"Sin City? A city built by a loose cultivator powerhouse of the ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’? Has it existed since the beginning of the Martial Dao Sacred Land’s Upper Domain?"
"Moreover, this Sin City sits near the Mysterious Buddha Sect’s base, yet even the Mysterious Buddha Sect has never made any substantial move against it."
"If that’s the case, then Sin City should indeed have powerhouses on the same level as the Sect Leaders of the Three Great Sects! Otherwise, with the ’dominance’ of the Mysterious Buddha Sect, how could they tolerate others sleeping near their bed?"
Soon, Wyatt Barnes absorbed all that Leilani had said.
"Leilani, go on."
After processing Leilani’s words, Wyatt prompted her to continue.
Leilani nodded and immediately continued, "From what I just said, you must have guessed, Wyatt... Sin City is filled with numerous loose cultivators! And these loose cultivators do not belong to any faction; naturally, in Sin City, it’s a collection of all kinds of riffraff."
"It’s precisely because of their existence that ’Sin City’ is extremely chaotic. The name ’Sin City’ derives from this. Apparently, a long time ago, Sin City wasn’t called this."
"In Sin City, because of the gathering of loose cultivators, various conflicts and friction are inevitable... It’s common to see injuries and killings."
"Moreover, in Sin City, without strength above the ’Saint Immortal Realm,’ it’s said that people are afraid to go out at night... Even if they do go out, they must be accompanied by someone above the Saint Immortal Realm."
"That’s all I know about ’Sin City.’"
Leilani finished speaking in one breath and then looked at Wyatt Barnes again, "Though I don’t know why you, Wyatt, are looking for a place filled with evil people... I think Sin City is probably the place in the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land with the most ’evil people’ gathered!"
"I heard in that place, there are even many people who eat human flesh, gnaw on human bones, and drink human blood."
When she finished speaking, Leilani’s pretty face also turned slightly pale, obviously frightened by the actions of those people.
Humans, eating human flesh, gnawing on human bones, drinking human blood.
Anyone in their right mind could not accept this.
Wyatt Barnes naturally could not accept it either.
His face became utterly grim as Leilani’s words ended.
He also realized:
Sin City was the ’place’ he had been searching for after leaving the Fire Worship Sect!
"It’s decided! I’ll go to ’Sin City’!"
Soon, Wyatt Barnes made up his mind:
To go to Sin City, specifically to pick out evil people and assimilate their ’talent roots’!
If it’s really as Leilani said, there certainly would be no lack of ’evil people’ in Sin City.
"Leilani, have you ever been to ’Sin City’?"
Taking a deep breath and recovering, Wyatt Barnes looked at Leilani and asked.
"No."
Faced with Wyatt’s inquiry, Leilani immediately shook her head.
That place, she never wanted to visit in her life!
"No? Then how do you seem to know so much about ’Sin City’?"
Wyatt Barnes asked in surprise.
