Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2103: Luring the Enemy into the Trap

"Could it be that they have their eyes on me and want to murder and loot?"

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

Once this thought arose, Wyatt was indifferent.

It would be fine if these people didn’t provoke him, but if they dared, and pushed him too far, he would devour each of their ’talent roots’!

Now, his talent root was just a little bit away from transforming into a ’blue root’!

"Elder Fire, what are the cultivation levels of those people?"

However, out of concern for his own safety, Wyatt still asked Elder Fire to probe the cultivation levels of those who were maliciously watching him.

Upon hearing Wyatt’s inquiry, Elder Fire quickly responded to him, "They are all in the ’Heavenly Saint Realm’... not a threat to you!"

Heavenly Saint Realm?

After getting the answer from Elder Fire, Wyatt let out a dry laugh, "Do I look that much like a weakling? Even a few petty ’small fries’ of the Heavenly Saint Realm dare to target me?"

If those secretly watching him heard Wyatt’s words, they would likely have been angered to the point of vomiting blood!

They, after all, were entities in the ’Heavenly Saint Realm’. Although not top-tier in the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, they were considered upper-middle class.

And now, in Wyatt’s words, they were described as ’small fries’?

Moreover, Wyatt seemed to completely forget.

The cultivation he displayed, even now, was merely at the ’Earth Saint Realm peak’!

Anyone above the ’Heavenly Saint Realm’, upon probing his current cultivation, wouldn’t take him seriously and would merely view him as an ordinary Earth Saint Realm martial artist.

Whoosh!

Knowing that those maliciously watching him were only entities of the ’Heavenly Saint Realm’, Wyatt no longer had any concerns and directly flew away from the ’Welcome Retreat Inn’.

If those people could indeed threaten him, according to Elder Fire’s earlier ’answer’, he would have returned to the ’Welcome Retreat Inn’ to renew his room fee.

Better avoid the trouble if you can’t handle it, right?

While improving his ’talent root’ was important, it was not as crucial as his own life!

This, Wyatt understood clearly.

And as Wyatt left the ’Welcome Retreat Inn’.

"He left! He left!"

"Your team continues to follow him... our team will return to inform the Alliance Leader of this matter!"

"Alright!"

...

The group that was maliciously watching Wyatt soon split into two. One group followed Wyatt, while the other group went in the opposite direction.

And these people were from the ’Earth Axe Alliance’!

The group heading in the opposite direction was heading toward the Earth Axe Alliance’s base.

Their goal was to return to their Earth Axe Alliance base and inform their Alliance Leader of the ’target’s’ departure from the Welcome Retreat Inn.

The Alliance Leader’s emphasis on this person had been evident to them before, so they dared not delay.

"Huh? Not all of them followed? Are they not the same group?"

When one of the Earth Axe Alliance groups followed, Wyatt noticed immediately and also realized many had left.

Because of this, he speculated that these people weren’t one group.

"Hmph!"

With a cold huff in his heart, Wyatt flew out towards the outskirts of Sin City, and before long, he left Sin City behind.

Of course, Wyatt’s speed wasn’t fast, and was similar to an ordinary Earth Saint Realm peak martial artist.

"He left Sin City!"

After Wyatt left Sin City, a team of Earth Axe Alliance members was stunned once again.

"Should we continue following?"

"Of course we should! The Alliance Leader has given strict orders that once he leaves the inn, we must follow closely and not lose track of him!"

"Judging by his speed, his cultivation is probably only at the ’Earth Saint Realm’... I really don’t understand why the Alliance Leader values him so much and even promised such exaggerated rewards for him!"

"By my calculations... the Alliance Leader should be arriving soon as well."

...

As Wyatt left Sin City, a team of Earth Axe Alliance members followed.

Of course, to avoid alerting him, they kept a distance from Wyatt.

Little did they know, Wyatt had already noticed them!

"Here should do."

After leaving Sin City, Wyatt flew north. When he saw a complicated mountainous forest ahead, his eyes flashed and his mind stirred.

Before leaving Sin City, he had a plan in mind:

Find a place to expose those following him without any place to hide!

By then, he wanted to ask what these people were up to.

If they couldn’t give a reasonable answer, he wouldn’t mind turning their talent roots into ’nourishment’ for his own!

And the complex terrain of the forest ahead was just the place Wyatt chose to expose those following him.

Upon arriving near the forest, Wyatt continued forward, descending into the void.

Whoosh!

His whole body turned into an incomplete ’parabola’, plunging into the complex terrain of the forest, disappearing from the eyes of the team of Earth Axe Alliance members behind him.

"What’s this guy doing here?"

"Could there be some ’valuable item’ here?"

"Could it be... the ’treasure vault’ left by a Ninth Transformation Saint Immortal?"

...

Watching Wyatt Barnes enter the forest and disappear from sight, a group of Earth Axe Alliance members couldn’t help but start a discussion.

As they talked, their eyes involuntarily sparkled with excitement.

After all, that young man in purple was the one their Alliance Leader had instructed them to follow.

And a figure suspected to be merely of the ’Earth Saint Realm’ could capture their leader’s attention like that; there had to be a ’reason,’ and they wouldn’t believe otherwise.

"If it really is the ’treasure vault’ left by a Ninth Transformation Saint Immortal, then our Earth Axe Alliance would be hitting the jackpot this time!"

Many Earth Axe Alliance members’ eyes shone even brighter.

As members of the Earth Axe Alliance, even if they don’t obtain any supreme treasures from the ’treasure vault’ left by a Ninth Transformation Saint Immortal, they surely could still ’drink some soup’ with their esteemed leader.

"He’s entered the forest... let’s follow him! We mustn’t lose track of him!"

Suddenly, one of the Earth Axe Alliance members reminded loudly.

The loud reminder snapped the rest of the members out of their daze, "Right! We can’t lose him!!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

Instantly, a team of Earth Axe Alliance members dashed into the complex terrain of the forest.

But once inside, they were bewildered again.

For they found that the purple-clad young man they were tracking had entirely vanished upon entering the forest, as if he had disappeared into thin air right before their eyes.

"Gone?"

"We didn’t come in much later than he did... how did he suddenly disappear?"

"At his speed, even if we were some distance away, he shouldn’t have been able to shake us off!"

...

The Earth Axe Alliance members were baffled after entering the forest, feeling something very peculiar about the situation.

If he truly was an ’Earth Saint Realm’ being, even at its peak, it shouldn’t have been possible for him to disappear from their sight so quickly, leaving no trace!

"What’s going on? Did we lose him?"

"If the Alliance Leader finds out we lost him... given how much importance he seemed to place on that guy, we’re probably in for some serious punishment!"

"Punishment is minor... our biggest fear is that our Earth Axe Alliance might just miss out on the ’treasure vault’ left by the Ninth Transformation Saint Immortal because of this!"

...

The Earth Axe Alliance members exchanged anxious looks with each other.

"How about... we split up and search?"

One member suggested.

"I think that’s a good idea... There are nine of us here, let’s divide into three groups, three people each, and search for the purple-clad youth’s tracks in the north, west, and east. What do you think?"

Another member nodded in agreement, offering his suggestion.

His suggestion was accepted by the other eight members.

"Let’s go!"

Just as one member shouted the order, and nine Earth Axe Alliance members were preparing to split into three groups to search in different directions—

"No need to look... I’m right here!"

A sudden and indifferent voice seemed to come from all directions, clearly reaching each member’s ears and changing their expressions drastically.

Their pupils contracted simultaneously.

Because, right before their eyes, a person suddenly appeared, as if out of thin air.

"This speed..."

Those present, of course, didn’t think the person materialized out of nowhere.

That’s why, upon seeing the seemingly magical appearance of this person, chills ran down their spines.

Among them were a few ’Heavenly Saint Realm peak’ beings, with the others ranging from ’mid Heavenly Saint Realm’ to ’late Heavenly Saint Realm’, yet none had seen the movement of the purple-clad youth when he appeared.

"Saint Immortal Realm expert!"

Almost instantly, the same thought popped into the minds of all nine Earth Axe Alliance members.

Because of this, their faces changed completely!

My God!

The person they were tailing turned out to be a ’Saint Immortal Realm expert’?

To think they were misled by his slow speed into thinking he was just an ’Earth Saint Realm’ being.

In hindsight, it was all deliberate!

Perhaps he had known about them from the start.

The person who appeared out of thin air in front of the nine Earth Axe Alliance members was indeed Wyatt Barnes.

Using the ’lead them into a trap’ strategy, he exposed all nine pursuers to his eyes.

"Are you... from the Earth Axe Alliance?"

Wyatt had been hiding nearby, so he had overheard their conversation.
