Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2102: Malicious Intent

"This... how is this possible?!"

Under the probing and sensing of his Divine Sense, Kaisen Wright was struck as if by lightning, his pupils suddenly contracting, his face showing astonishment, and he exclaimed in disbelief.

"Master!!"

Upon hearing Kaisen Wright’s incredulous voice, Bruce’s body also trembled with shock, "Is it... is my... my ’talent root’ having issues?"

If it was his ’talent root’ having issues that slowed down his cultivation speed, it would make sense.

The only thing he cared about now was:

If there’s an issue with the ’talent root’, can it be restored!

As long as it can be restored, his talent will return, and his rapid cultivation speed will be back.

By that time, he would still be the prodigious genius with a ’blue root’ in the Fire Worship Sect. Given time, he might be able to kill Wyatt Barnes to wash away the shame Wyatt brought him earlier!

"It’s not your ’talent root’ that’s having a problem..."

Upon hearing Bruce’s inquiry, Kaisen Wright shook his head somewhat numb.

Seeing this, Bruce’s eyes suddenly lit up, "My ’talent root’ isn’t having any problems?"

In his view:

As long as the talent root isn’t the problem, whatever caused his cultivation speed to slow down must have a solution.

Immediately, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your ’talent root’ isn’t having any problems..."

Kaisen Wright hesitated for a moment, and finally, in a deep voice, he revealed the ’truth’ of the matter, "Because... your ’talent root’, is gone!"

Your ’talent root’, is gone!

Kaisen Wright’s words hit Bruce like a bolt from the blue, leaving him completely dumbfounded, and he collapsed on the ground with a look of despair.

Before, he was already in despair, but still held onto a sliver of ’hope’.

Now, Kaisen Wright’s words pronounced a ’death sentence’ on his talent!

Without the ’talent root’, what talent could he speak of?

"How could it... how could it be like this?!"

Bruce was in despair, completely in despair!

"Wyatt! Barnes!"

At that moment, his master’s voice — Kaisen Wright’s — growled word by word, as he had never heard his master speak in such an angry tone before.

"Bruce, don’t worry... I will avenge you!"

Kaisen Wright’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, like a blade, as he swore a solemn vow to Bruce.

"Master, your... your meaning is... my ’talent root’ being gone is related to that Wyatt Barnes?"

In his despair, Bruce picked up on clues from Kaisen Wright’s words.

"Certainly related to him!"

Kaisen Wright said coldly, "Back when Wyatt Barnes was still at the Black Tortoise Hall, the first silver flame elder of the Black Tortoise Hall, Maximus Lee, brought his personal disciple Arlo Drake to confront him... They claimed he had destroyed Arlo’s ’talent root’!"

"At that time, none of us, myself included, believed Wyatt Barnes had that capability... After all, not to mention someone below the Saint Immortal Realm couldn’t even sense another’s talent root. Even those above the Saint Immortal Realm, though they could sense another’s talent root, had no way to ruin it without damaging the person’s soul!"

"That time, because Maximus Lee and Arlo Drake had no evidence, and even Arlo himself couldn’t confirm it was Wyatt Barnes who ruined his talent root, they didn’t dare to make a ’Thunder Punishment Oath’... So, in the end, the matter was left unresolved."

"I initially thought it was just a farce, that Maximus and his disciple were slandering Wyatt Barnes... But now it seems: Wyatt Barnes indeed knew the method to destroy a person’s ’talent root’!"

"Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? That your talent root went missing right after encountering him?"

Kaisen Wright’s words revealed his suspicions.

And his suspicions seemed watertight.

"Before me, he had already destroyed someone’s ’talent root’?"

Hearing Kaisen Wright’s words, Bruce was completely convinced that Wyatt Barnes used the same method on him to destroy his ’talent root’!

"Bruce, I’ll go avenge you right away! As for you, stay here and wait for good news."

As the words fell, without waiting for Bruce to respond, Kaisen Wright vanished into thin air before Bruce’s eyes, leaving.

Upon departure, Kaisen Wright’s fury reached its peak!

Although he had two personal disciples, he valued his eldest personal disciple, ’Bruce’, the most. And now that Bruce had been ruined, it was as if his high hopes for Bruce were destroyed too.

Now, he wanted nothing more than to kill Wyatt Barnes with his own hands to quell his heart’s fury!!

Since it could be determined that it was Wyatt Barnes who destroyed his personal disciple’s ’talent root’, Kaisen Wright no longer had any reservations...

No matter whether it’s using the ’Soul-Searching Secret Technique’ to make Wyatt Barnes comply, or using other methods, he must destroy Wyatt Barnes!

Unfortunately, Kaisen Wright is destined to find nothing.

Right now, Wyatt Barnes is not in the Fire Worship Sect at all, even if he wants to retaliate against Wyatt in various ways, he can only wait until Wyatt returns to achieve it.

However, it was precisely because of Kaisen Wright’s disturbance.

Only then did he discover that Wyatt Barnes had left the Fire Worship Sect!

At the same time, ’Johnny Reid’, the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, also received the news, "That Wyatt Barnes... has actually left the Fire Worship Sect? How is that possible?!"

Johnny Reid could hardly believe it:

That Wyatt Barnes, who repeatedly humiliated his son ’Fore Reid’, he had already ordered people to keep a close watch on him, how could he have possibly left the Fire Worship Sect?

However, whether he believes it or not, this is the ’fact’.

Just because the Azure Dragon Altar Lord ’Kaisen Wright’ had already come to the Enforcement Hall to accuse Wyatt Barnes of crippling Bruce’s innate spiritual root... The Enforcement Hall had also sent the Law Enforcement Elder to follow Kaisen Wright into Wyatt’s training place, but they didn’t find Wyatt.

Even throughout the Fire Worship Sect, there was no trace of Wyatt Barnes.

Thus, it can be confirmed that Wyatt Barnes has indeed left the Fire Worship Sect, leaving right under Johnny Reid’s nose.

"Don’t worry, Father... Since it can be confirmed that Wyatt Barnes destroyed Bruce’s ’innate spiritual root’, as long as he returns, it’s inevitably difficult for him to escape severe punishment!"

Fore Reid sneered, "Moreover, according to Lord Kaisen, Arlo Drake, the personal disciple of Elder Maximus Lee of the Black Tortoise Altar, was also crippled by Wyatt Barnes... In this way, he can be punished for both offenses, and even be put to death!"

"However..."

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, Fore Reid cautiously said, "Now, anyone in the Enforcement Hall might have already learned about Wyatt Barnes disabling Bruce’s ’innate spiritual root’... If this matter spreads out and reaches Wyatt Barnes after he’s left the Fire Worship Sect, he probably won’t return!"

As long as Wyatt Barnes doesn’t return, despite any serious crime, without confirmation, the Fire Worship Sect’s Enforcement Hall won’t convict him, let alone send strong men to hunt him down!

After all, it’s impossible to convict Wyatt Barnes solely based on Azure Dragon Altar Lord ’Kaisen Wright’s words!"

"Son, the fact that you considered this makes me proud."

Hearing Fore Reid’s words, Johnny Reid was full of satisfaction, "I also thought of this, and immediately ordered to seal this information... So, before Wyatt Barnes returns, this information won’t spread outside the ’Enforcement Hall’."

"As long as the news doesn’t leave the ’Enforcement Hall’, it naturally won’t spread outside the sect... That Wyatt Barnes can’t possibly know about this matter!"

Speaking later, Johnny Reid was also full of confidence.

"Father’s wisdom is unparalleled!"

Fore Reid’s eyes shone brightly, filled with admiration.

After his self-assured moment, Johnny Reid’s brow furrowed again, "However, I still can’t understand... how did he leave the Fire Worship Sect?"

Wyatt Barnes leaving the Fire Worship Sect right under Johnny Reid’s nose was something he couldn’t come to terms with.

At this moment, in Sin City in the middle territory, Wyatt Barnes was unaware:

Inside the Fire Worship Sect, someone had already set a trap, waiting for him to ’jump’ into it!

"Finally, a breakthrough!"

Just as Wyatt Barnes had predicted, it took him nearly two months to smoothly advance to the ’Earth Saint Realm Peak’!

Of course, being able to break through so quickly without a ’Spirit Gathering Array’ environment was mostly credited to his innate spiritual root, which was infinitely close to ’blue spiritual root’, followed by his hard work and effort.

"Over fifty days in the fourth layer of the Jewel Tower... Only five days have passed outside."

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

"In the next few days, I will meditate on some Divine Abilities... Once the room fee expires, I will leave the inn to hunt for ’prey’! My innate spiritual root should evolve into a ’blue spiritual root’."

Wyatt Barnes had already planned what to do in the coming days.

Of course, by ’days’ he meant the external world’s time.

Compared to the four days outside, Wyatt Barnes could stay in the fourth layer of the Jewel Tower for over a month...

A month later, Wyatt Barnes left the Jewel Tower.

Though he hadn’t made breakthroughs in the Divine Abilities he had comprehended during this time, he had gotten more proficient, even achieving a high degree of mastery.

He was one step closer to breaking through!

Opening the room door and walking out, breathing the fresh air filled with floral scents in the courtyard, a look of enjoyment appeared on Wyatt Barnes’s face.

After a moment, he left the courtyard room he had stayed in for nine days and checked out.

After checking out, he left the ’Welcome Retreat Inn’.

"Hmm?"

As he left the inn, Wyatt Barnes keenly sensed several subtle gazes falling upon him, staying only for a moment before leaving.

If not for his past life’s experience as a Weapon King skilled in counter-tracking and counter-surveillance, even with his impressive cultivation, he might not have detected these malicious gazes!
