Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2100: Bruce’s Roar

In Sin City, the safest places to stay are the residences of the Loose Cultivator Alliance and the inns backed by them.

Of course, by comparison, the inns are even safer.

The Loose Cultivator Alliance has varying strengths, and joining a weaker alliance, even hiding in their territory, offers no real safety.

But the inns are different.

Inns are neither in short supply nor overly abundant in Sin City, and not every Loose Cultivator Alliance has the power to operate an inn for profit.

For alliances like the Earth Axe Alliance and the Black Crow Alliance, even if they run an inn, no guest would dare to stay there because safety cannot be guaranteed.

In such third-rate Loose Cultivator Alliances, even the Alliance Leader is only at the Saint Immortal Third Transformation.

The Vice Alliance Leader and others are even weaker.

For such an alliance, even running an inn requires the Alliance Leader to personally oversee it for it to have any deterrent power.

But is it possible for the Alliance Leader to always oversee an inn?

The Dominic Alliance, however, is not comparable to alliances like the Earth Axe and Black Crow.

Even looking across the entire Sin City, the Dominic Alliance is a prominent Loose Cultivator Alliance.

The ’Alliance Leader’ of the Dominic Alliance is said to be a powerhouse at the Saint Immortal Fifth Transformation!

Even the powerhouse stationed at the Welcome Retreat Inn of the Dominic Alliance is someone at the Saint Immortal Third Transformation.

Because of this, even if Unruly Bright, the leader of the Earth Axe Alliance, personally entered the Welcome Retreat Inn, he might not gain any advantage and could even offend the Dominic Alliance.

"It seems, I can only wait for him to leave Welcome Retreat Inn on his own... Once he leaves the inn, the Dominic Alliance powerhouses will no longer protect him!"

In the end, Unruly Bright could only choose to ’wait’.

Besides that, he had no other option.

"I just don’t believe you can stay hidden inside Welcome Retreat Inn forever!"

Unruly Bright’s tone was low and calm, his eyes as sharp as a blade.

Ever since Unruly Bright made this plan, the vicinity of Welcome Retreat Inn saw more people loitering around, and these people would change to a ’new face’ every now and then.

These people were Earth Axe Alliance members sent by Unruly Bright to take turns surveilling.

They wandered near Welcome Retreat Inn to constantly monitor Wyatt Barnes; once Wyatt Barnes left, they would track him on one hand and report back to the Earth Axe Alliance on the other.

At this time, Wyatt Barnes was unaware that the Earth Axe Alliance had already marked him.

However, upon entering the courtyard guest room, he followed his usual practice of reviewing the spoils, taking out two Storage Rings from Earth Axe Alliance members and the one from the Black Crow Alliance man.

"While it’s not a huge windfall, it’s not bad either."

Seeing the ’Holy Stones’ inside the three Storage Rings, Wyatt flashed a satisfied smile on his face, "This Sin City is truly a place tailor-made to enhance my ’Talent Roots’!"

Inside Sin City, people injuring or killing others over a small disagreement are a common occurrence.

Supposedly, ’villains’ make up more than half of the population.

Pillaging and cultivating using these people’s ’Talent Roots’ didn’t give Wyatt any psychological burden.

"This Storage Ring... seems like it belongs to the old man being pursued by two Earth Axe members!"

Soon, Wyatt discovered a Storage Ring lying quietly in one of the Earth Axe members’ rings; it looked familiar, and he quickly remembered where he had seen it.

This Storage Ring was voluntarily handed over by the old man being chased by two Earth Axe members earlier today outside Sin City.

And the reason the two Earth Axe members were chasing the old man was also because of it!

"Could it be that there’s a ’treasure’ inside?"

As soon as the thought crossed, Wyatt’s eyes lit up, and he performed a blood recognition ritual on the unclaimed Storage Ring. After a thorough examination, his eyes sparkled even brighter.

He quickly glanced over the other items within the Storage Ring, paying little attention to them.

Eventually, his eyes settled on a sword lying quietly in the ring. The sword seemed simple and unadorned but gave Wyatt an entirely different feeling.

As someone who focused on the art of ’Saint Markings,’ Wyatt had a very keen ’sense’ for them, surpassing ordinary Saint Mark masters in this regard.

"This is... the Thousand-Patterned Sacred Sword?"

After a rough inspection, Wyatt confirmed that the seemingly unadorned sword was indeed a ’Thousand-Patterned Sacred Sword’!

"It seems the two Earth Axe members’ target was precisely this ’Thousand-Patterned Sacred Sword’!"

After examining other items in the old man’s Storage Ring and finding nothing of value, Wyatt quickly confirmed this point.

"But given the old man’s skills, how he came by this ’Thousand-Patterned Sacred Sword’ remains a mystery... Also, how did the two Earth Axe members know the old man possessed a ’Thousand-Patterned Sacred Sword’?"

Wyatt was utterly perplexed by this.

The current Wyatt Barnes is no longer the naive newcomer to the Martial Dao Sacred Land’s Upper Domain. After spending some time in the Fire Worship Sect, he now knows many things about the Upper Domain.

Among them is the ’Thousand Pattern Sacred Weapon’.

The Thousand Pattern Sacred Weapon is a top-tier treasure, even when viewed across the entire Martial Dao Sacred Land Upper Domain!

In the Fire Worship Sect, the value of a Thousand Pattern Sacred Weapon has reached the level of ’ten million contribution points’...

In the Fire Worship Sect, besides the upper echelons above the ’Gold Flame Elder’, only a few ’Silver Flame Elders’ possess the Thousand Pattern Sacred Weapon.

This shows how precious the ’Thousand Pattern Sacred Weapon’ is!

Yet such a precious Thousand Pattern Sacred Weapon appeared in the hands of an elderly man of the Heavenly Saint Realm, and then was seized by two members of the Earth Axe Alliance, who were also only at the Heavenly Saint Realm.

If those two Earth Axe Alliance members hadn’t provoked him, this ’Thousand Pattern Sacred Sword’ wouldn’t have ended up in his hands.

"In that case... I should thank them for provoking me and trying to kill me?"

Thinking of this, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but smile, the saying ’the world is unpredictable’ probably refers to such situations.

Immediately after, Wyatt no longer pondered why the ’Thousand Pattern Sacred Sword’ appeared in an elderly man’s hands; now that the ’Thousand Pattern Sacred Sword’ is in his hands, it is his possession.

"With this ’Thousand Pattern Sacred Sword’, the Hundred Pattern Sacred Sword can be sidelined... In future battles, I can use this Thousand Pattern Sacred Sword. As for the ’Splendid Fairy Sword’, it’s best not to use it if unnecessary."

Upon thinking this, Wyatt Barnes smiled with satisfaction.

"However, although it is just a ’Thousand Pattern Sacred Sword’, it will still attract the coveting eyes of others... The immediate priority is to enhance my own strength! As long as I have the strength to match the ’Thousand Pattern Sacred Sword’, no one will dare covet it."

Wyatt mused to himself.

As soon as he decided, Wyatt thought for a moment, then entered the fourth floor of the Jewel Tower to begin cultivating.

Nine Dragons War Sovereign!

As he operated the cultivation technique, spiritual energy surged into Wyatt Barnes’ body as if it were free...

In the process, Wyatt clearly noticed that his current cultivation speed was significantly faster than before.

Thus, Wyatt knew well in his heart.

After all, his current ’innate spiritual root’ is no longer what it used to be; even the ’Blue Spiritual Root’ is only a half-step away.

"At this speed... I will certainly break through to the ’peak of Earth Saint Realm’ within two months!"

Feeling his current cultivation speed, Wyatt conservatively estimated:

Within two months, he is sure to further advance his cultivation base and successfully break through to the ’peak of Earth Saint Realm’!

Once his cultivation base breaks through to the ’peak of Earth Saint Realm’, his strength will also gain a further boost.

As time passed, Wyatt Barnes fully immersed himself in cultivation, and his strength continuously grew. Initially, the enhancement was subtle, but then it became increasingly noticeable and clear.

West Region, Fire Worship Sect.

"No—"

In the Fire Worship Sect’s Holy Land, on one of the small floating islands surrounding the Holy Island, a hysterical, heart-wrenching scream suddenly echoed.

This scream, like a beast’s roar, or like a thunderous clap, startled several people into the air from nearby small floating islands.

"It’s Senior Brother Bruce’s voice!"

The few people appearing above the small floating islands were all true legend disciples of the Fire Worship Sect, and the floating islands beneath their feet were their cultivation grounds as true legend disciples of the sect.

Right now, as the true legend disciples looked at the small floating island from which the voice came, they were all dumbfounded.

Just because they knew the owner of that small floating island:

It is Bruce, who currently ranks third on the Fire Worship Sect’s ’True Inheritance List’!

Although Bruce was recently defeated by their sect’s newly risen prodigy, Wyatt Barnes, that was only because Wyatt Barnes is too monstrous, too abnormal; it doesn’t mean Bruce’s strength is lacking.

Therefore, in the eyes of a group of Fire Worship Sect’s true legend disciples, Bruce still remains an exalted existence!

Yet today, Bruce’s out-of-character scream left the nearby true legend disciples puzzled:

"What’s wrong with Senior Brother Bruce?"

"I don’t know... Ever since he was defeated by Senior Brother Wyatt Barnes, I haven’t heard of him leaving his cultivation grounds. Today’s sudden outburst was not expected."

"His voice sounds like he’s suffered some kind of blow... Could it be that he’s still trapped in the ’shadow’ of being defeated by Senior Brother Wyatt Barnes, unable to extricate himself?"

"It’s possible."

...

Several true legend disciples ignored others as they discussed among themselves, ultimately reaching a consensus: they all thought Bruce still could not accept being defeated by Wyatt Barnes.

However, is that really the ’truth’ of the matter?
