Chapter 2108: Something Happened!!
Chapter 2108: Something Happened!!
The matter of Kaisen Wright, the master of the Azure Dragon Hall, going to the Enforcement Hall to accuse Wyatt Barnes of crippling his direct disciple Bruce’s innate spirit root, was only spread within the Enforcement Hall because of the involvement of Vice Hall Master Johnny Reid.
It did not spread outside, let alone beyond the Fire Worship Sect...
Kaisen Wright could understand Johnny Reid’s actions, and greatly agreed with them.
After all, if the news were to spread, it would only alert Wyatt Barnes, making him too afraid to return to the Fire Worship Sect.
That was not something Kaisen wanted to see.
Today, however, Kaisen went to the Enforcement Hall to withdraw the accusation against Wyatt Barnes... although this did not cause an uproar within the entire Fire Worship Sect, it still stirred up a sensation within the Enforcement Hall.
Kaisen’s actions carried some nature of false accusation and defamation, and according to the rules of the Enforcement Hall, he should be given a certain punishment!
However, the Enforcement Hall elder handling the registration was merely an ’Elder Silver Flame’, so he had no authority to punish Kaisen.
Under these circumstances, Vice Hall Master Johnny Reid stepped forward.
"Master Wright, are you sure you want to withdraw the accusation against Wyatt Barnes?"
Johnny Reid frowned at Kaisen, asking somewhat puzzledly, "Can you tell me why?"
He did not believe Kaisen’s so-called ’explanation’ that Bruce’s cultivation had gone awry, thus crippling his innate spirit root; he felt there must be more underlying reasons behind the incident.
And facts proved Johnny Reid was right.
However, he couldn’t have dreamed of the real ’reason’!
"Vice Hall Master Reid, I’ve said all that needs to be said."
Facing Johnny Reid’s skepticism, Kaisen still had a ’dead pig unafraid of boiling water’ demeanor, speaking calmly.
He naturally understood the reason for Johnny Reid’s doubt, it was nothing more than Johnny Reid reluctantly watching the opportunity for revenge for his son Fore Reid slip away.
"Master Wright, have you thought this through... this is a false accusation! It’s defamation! Although Wyatt Barnes is not in the Fire Worship Sect now, our Enforcement Hall still has the power to punish you according to the sect’s rules!"
Johnny Reid said sternly, his words carrying a certain level of threat towards Kaisen.
But was Kaisen someone he could threaten?
"Vice Hall Master Reid, I’m aware of all this, and I’m prepared to accept the Enforcement Hall’s punishment... however, as far as I know, because I voluntarily confessed, the punishment can be reduced by half, right?"
From start to finish, Kaisen maintained a calm demeanor, as if he was unconcerned about the punishment he was to face.
And indeed, it was nothing to be concerned about.
Just some minor skin injuries, but with his cultivation at the ’Saint Immortal Fifth Transformation’ level, those skin injuries were nothing more than a ’scratch’ to him.
Seeing that Kaisen’s ’mind was made up’, Johnny Reid said no more.
But deep in his heart, a ’seed of doubt’ had already been planted; he felt there was something about Kaisen’s actions that he was unaware of.
"What? Master Wright has withdrawn the accusation against Wyatt Barnes?"
Soon, Fore Reid also learned of this from his father, and his face changed dramatically, unable to accept this ’fact’.
Yet, facts are facts, unchangeable.
In the end, he could only resign to fate.
Though resigned, his heart was still filled with unwillingness.
Having finally had a legitimate chance to deal with Wyatt Barnes, yet now it had slipped away from him, how could he be willing?
A few days later, with the arrival of one person, the ’calm’ of the Fire Worship Sect was shattered.
The visitor was none other than Russel Yorke, the Fifth Elder of the Northern Praying Sect, and also a close friend of the first Elder Silver Flame of the Fire Worship Sect, Maximus Lee.
Russel Yorke came to find Maximus Lee.
But when he reached the Black Tortoise Hall, he learned that Maximus Lee was not there.
At his request, several other Elder Silver Flames of the Black Tortoise Hall checked Maximus Lee’s ’soul bead’, only to find that Maximus Lee’s ’soul bead’ had shattered, and seemed to have been shattered for some time.
"Something happened! Something really happened!!"
Seeing Maximus Lee’s soul bead shattered, Russel Yorke’s face became extremely gloomy.
"Elder Yorke, what on earth is going on?"
Charles Thorn, an Elder Silver Flame of the Black Tortoise Hall, looked at Russel Yorke and asked in a deep voice.
Fellow Black Tortoise Hall Elder Silver Flames Abraham Clifford and Ezrah Morgan also looked at Russel Yorke, their faces full of confusion, not knowing what Russel Yorke meant by saying ’something happened’.
The death of their fellow Black Tortoise Hall Elder Silver Flame, Maximus Lee, also stirred up an uproar in their hearts!
"Some time ago..."
Facing the gaze of the three Black Tortoise Hall Elder Silver Flames, Russel Yorke revealed the details of the incident.
Of course, he did not mention that Maximus Lee took several Saint Immortal Realm experts from their Northern Praying Sect to investigate Wyatt Barnes’ ’background’, only stating that Maximus Lee took several Saint Immortal Realm experts to the ’Lower Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.
But, when he realized that Maximus Lee and others had been gone for a long time without returning, the ’soul beads’ of those Saint Immortal Realm experts from the Northern Praying Sect shattered one after another.
At this moment, he also realized that something might have happened to Maximus Lee and the others!
His first thought was to go to the Martial Dao Sacred Land ’Lower Domain’ to investigate what exactly had occurred.
However, when he arrived at the location of the nearest ’cross-domain teleportation array’, he discovered that... the cross-domain teleportation array could not be activated!
At that time, he merely thought there was an issue with that particular cross-domain teleportation array.
When he went to several other locations of cross-domain teleportation arrays, intending to teleport to the Martial Dao Sacred Land ’Lower Domain’, he found he still couldn’t teleport.
It was then that he heard people near the cross-domain teleportation array say:
The cross-domain teleportation array has been unable to send people to the Martial Dao Sacred Land ’Lower Domain’ for some time now!
"So, I came to the Fire Worship Sect... Sure enough, something happened to Maximus Lee as well!"
Russel Yorke’s expression was very unpleasant, and then he said, "I heard from some familiar with the ’cross-domain teleportation array’... many cross-domain teleportation arrays in our Martial Dao Sacred Land ’Upper Domain’ are connected to the one in the Martial Dao Sacred Land ’Lower Domain’. If there’s a problem with the Lower Domain’s teleportation array, we can’t teleport over!"
"And if the Upper Domain’s teleportation array has an issue, the Lower Domain’s array won’t be affected because the latter doesn’t depend on the former... Users of the latter array are generally randomly teleported to various places in the Martial Dao Sacred Land Upper Domain."
Russel Yorke said.
Just like when Wyatt Barnes, Augustine Landon, and Oliver Watson were teleported from the Lower Domain’s teleportation array to the Upper Domain, they were randomly sent to some place in the Upper Domain, not near the Upper Domain’s teleportation array.
"So, the preliminary inference is... it’s the Lower Domain’s ’cross-domain teleportation array’ that has a problem!"
Russel Yorke said in a deep voice.
"The Lower Domain’s teleportation array has a problem?"
Abraham Clifford’s face grew serious, then continued, "As far as I know, the ’Lower Domain’ teleportation array is much more solid than those in our ’Upper Domain’..."
"It’s said that when that ’cross-domain teleportation array’ was constructed, the predecessors integrated it with the Seal Formation that puts the ’Exile Land’ under restriction, sharing the ’Defensive Formation’ within the Seal Formation."
"And the ’Defensive Formation’ of that Seal Formation, not to mention a single Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation expert, even if several Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation experts join forces... they might not be able to break it!"
Abraham Clifford, besides being the Elder Silver Flame of the Black Tortoise Hall, is also the Law Enforcement Elder of the Black Tortoise Hall, and the most knowledgeable person in the Black Tortoise Hall.
He usually researches some ancient ’events’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.
He had once read in an ancient tome about the integration of the cross-domain teleportation array of the Martial Dao Sacred Land’s Lower Domain with the Seal Formation placed by human experts during the Era of Human Demons to restrict the ’Exile Land’.
The Seal Formation, said to restrict the ’Exile Land’, actually seals the ’entrance’ from Exile Land into the Martial Dao Sacred Land.
And that entrance is also the ’gap’ in the spatial barrier.
Sealing the gap in the spatial barrier has prevented the Demon Race from invading the Martial Dao Sacred Land for hundreds of thousands of years...
The strength of the ’Defensive Formation’ within the Seal Formation can be easily imagined!
It must be noted that throughout the generations of the Demon Race, there have always been a few who are strong Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation experts who haven’t had a chance to survive the tribulation and ascend.
Yet, they haven’t been able to break that Seal Formation!
Thus, Abraham Clifford said:
Even if a few Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation experts joined forces, they might not be able to breach the Lower Domain’s ’cross-domain teleportation array’ that shares the Defensive Formation of the Seal Formation.
"If the Lower Domain’s cross-domain teleportation array is really destroyed... wouldn’t that mean the Seal Formation is also destroyed?"
With this thought, Abraham Clifford’s face kept changing.
Middle territory, Sin City.
Boom!!
In the tranquil guestroom of the inn, on the fourth floor of the Jewel Tower, which had turned to dust in front of the bed, the air suddenly exploded, a wave of rolling air surged out as if affected by some force.
"Hahahahaha..."
At that moment, a burst of laughter followed.
It was Wyatt Barnes, who was sitting cross-legged in the air, opening his eyes and letting out a burst of excited laughter.
He had broken through!
After two months, he finally made a breakthrough!
"Heavenly Saint Realm, Early Stage!"
After the laughter ceased, Wyatt Barnes tried to mobilize the Saint Power within him, only to find that the Saint Power had once again ’transformed’, "Now, even without employing the Divine Ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’... my Saint Power is enough to rival the ’Saint Origin’ of a Saint Immortal First Transformation expert!"
"Just with a ’light blue’ talent root, I was given such a talent... if my talent root evolves into a ’purple root’, how terrifying would my cultivation speed be?"
With this thought, Wyatt Barnes felt another wave of excitement.
However, this excitement did not last long.
As Wyatt Barnes left the inn, he heard some passing loose cultivators mention something:
Several cross-domain teleportation arrays in the Martial Dao Sacred Land ’Upper Domain’ have encountered an unknown issue and can no longer send people to the Martial Dao Sacred Land ’Lower Domain’!
