Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2117: Identity Exposed

"The ’secret art’ of shape transformation involves the alteration of one’s skeleton... Such means are the techniques of immortals!"

Elder Fire’s calm response mercilessly extinguished the flame of hope that had ignited in Wyatt Barnes’ heart.

The meaning conveyed by Elder Fire’s words was also very simple:

Although there are ’secret arts’ for body shape transformation in the world, they are not something Wyatt Barnes can currently master.

Only those who have successfully passed the tribulation and ascended to the heavenly realms, the ’immortals’, have the ability to wield such methods!

"It seems, in that case, I can only think of other ways."

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

Soon, Wyatt temporarily left the inn and got a few sets of large black robes, all of which were hooded black robes that could completely cover his entire body and obscure his physique.

"If I go out wearing these robes, not to mention the Golden Lion King of the Mysterious Buddha Sect, even my father, and mother may not be able to recognize me by my build alone!"

Looking at the large black robes in his hands, Wyatt felt greatly reassured.

At the same time, the tension in Wyatt’s heart completely relaxed.

Today, ever since he learned that Cade Simpson’s ’Son Mirror Talisman’ was used up, although he appeared very calm on the surface, he couldn’t help but feel enormous pressure inside.

And this pressure originated from Cade Simpson’s father, the Golden Lion King, one of the four Great Dharma Kings of the Mysterious Buddha Sect.

The Golden Lion King, a being whose cultivation had reached ’Seventh Transformation of the Saint Immortal’ and beyond.

If such a being were to come after him, with his current strength, he was certainly facing a life-or-death situation!

Now, with all the preparations made, Wyatt finally felt a sense of peace, "With my currently disguised ’face’, plus these newly prepared hooded robes... Even if the Golden Lion King of the Mysterious Buddha Sect stood in front of the fully armed me, he might not be able to recognize me!"

With this thought, Wyatt was greatly reassured once more.

After settling his mind, he recalled the various scenes he experienced today:

Luring Cade Simpson out of Sin City and slaying him with a single strike before he could use the ’Purple Wisteria Fairy Thunder Talisman’!

And after Cade’s death, regaining the super artifact ’Demon Sealing Monument’ that once belonged to him.

...

All of this, when recalled, still made Wyatt feel as if he were dreaming.

"Cade Simpson, when you came to the Mansion of Azure Clouds back in the day, with your overpowering strength, you saw me as nothing but an ’ant’... And at that time, indeed, I was as feeble as an ant before you!"

Wyatt’s thoughts drifted back to those scenes when Cade first descended upon the Lower Domain’s Mansion of Azure Clouds.

At that time, Cade was so incredibly domineering!

Under Cade’s coercion, he even had to surrender the ’Demon Sealing Monument’.

The helplessness of that situation was unforgettable.

"Moreover, after killing Elder Wither, he went back on his word, threatening to kill everyone in the Mansion of Azure Clouds except for those who were close to me!"

At that time, faced with Cade’s breach of faith, Wyatt felt both furious and aggrieved.

Of course, more than anything, he felt deeply helpless.

Even though Cade went back on his word, at that time, he had no ability to stop Cade, only to secretly vow to regard Cade as a mortal enemy!

"Now, after a year or two, I have come to the Upper Domain and fulfilled that secret vow I once made..."

Taking a deep breath, Wyatt’s gaze turned a bit misty, then he murmured, "Elder Wither, I have killed Cade Simpson and avenged you... You can rest in peace now beneath the Nine Springs."

"And to the ten comrades of the Blackarmor Army, I, the unworthy ’Junior House Master’, have avenged you as well... You too can now rest in peace."

Having finished murmuring these words, Wyatt exhaled in relief.

"Cade Simpson, until the very moment of your death, you probably never imagined I could kill you so easily, did you?"

Unconsciously, Wyatt thought again of the Cade Simpson who he had slain today.

Today, it was precisely when Cade thought he could rely on the ’Purple Wisteria Fairy Thunder Talisman’ to turn the tide that Wyatt used the ’Splendid Fairy Sword’ to instantly kill him...

From beginning to end, Cade hadn’t even had the time to completely react before being killed by that single strike!

"It’s a shame, really, that Cade didn’t die in despair..."

Cade was instantly slain by him, and up until the moment of his death, he may not have even felt a sense of despair.

After all, at that time, Cade had brought out the ’Purple Wisteria Fairy Thunder Talisman’, believing it could turn the tide.

Thinking of this, Wyatt felt a twinge of regret once more.

"Regardless, he’s dead now... The enmity between him and me can now be considered settled. In his death, I not only reclaimed the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ but also took a ’Purple Wisteria Fairy Thunder Talisman’!"

Murmuring to this point, Wyatt raised his hand and brought forth the ’Purple Wisteria Fairy Thunder Talisman’.

The Purple Wisteria Fairy Thunder Talisman, upon closer inspection, appeared to be a very ordinary talisman.

However, with the surrounding purple lightning and thunder as a backdrop, it exuded a profoundly unique aura, faintly emanating a chilling presence as if it could obliterate everything!

And just as Wyatt took out the ’Purple Wisteria Fairy Thunder Talisman’ to examine it.

Whoosh!!

A towering figure moving at a frightening speed also entered Sin City, and immediately sought out Elder Kieran Truman from the Mysterious Buddha Sect.

Kieran Truman was precisely the elder of the Mysterious Buddha Sect who was accompanying Cade Simpson today.

He was also the ’leader’ among the elders of the Mysterious Buddha Sect who came to Sin City this time to procure supplies for the sect.

"Great... Great Dharma King!"

As the Golden Lion King, Steve Simpson, suddenly appeared before him, with his entire body exuding a murderous aura, Kieran Truman’s expression changed dramatically, while an ominous foreboding rose in his heart.

The Golden Lion King had departed from the Mysterious Buddha Sect and arrived in Sin City!

If someone claimed that the Golden Lion King was simply here to relax, Kieran would never believe it—even under duress.

Smack!!

In response to Kieran Truman’s respectful salutation, Steve Simpson replied with a resounding slap.

After the slap, Kieran Truman’s face swelled on one side, leaving him stunned, yet he did not dare harbor any resentment.

"Could it be... that something truly happened to Cade Simpson?"

Kieran Truman’s heart trembled.

At this moment, he could clearly sense the overwhelming fury of the Golden Lion King before him...

"My son, Cade Simpson, was lured away from Sin City and murdered by this person!"

And at this moment, as Steve Simpson raised his hand, a blank sheet of paper appeared in it. With a stroke of the brush, a depiction of a young man appeared on it.

"This is..."

Staring at the ’portrait’ that Steve Simpson had drawn on the spot, Kieran Truman felt the young man on the portrait looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"This person hails from the Lower Domain’s Mansion of Azure Clouds, and is the Junior House Master there, named ’Wyatt Barnes!’"

With Steve Simpson’s next words, clarity dawned upon Kieran Truman.

Junior House Master of the Lower Domain’s Mansion of Azure Clouds, Wyatt Barnes!

He remembered now!

Wyatt Barnes was the lucky individual who had once obtained the super relic, the Demon Sealing Monument. However, later on, the Demon Sealing Monument in his possession was seized by their sect’s elder, Cade Simpson.

"So it was him."

Now, Kieran Truman finally understood why the young man in the portrait seemed familiar to him, because he had also seen this youth’s portrait circulated from the Lower Domain to the Upper Domain.

"Apart from being the Junior House Master of the Lower Domain’s Mansion of Azure Clouds, he has another identity... He is also the newly emerged second prodigious figure of the Fire Worship Sect!"

Steve Simpson continued, with a tone as cold as ice, which made Kieran Truman feel as if he had fallen into an ice pit.

"Hiss—"

Upon hearing Steve Simpson’s words, Kieran Truman was initially stunned, then couldn’t help but take a deep breath, and subsequently, he looked incredulous as he asked, "Great Dharma King... are you certain? I’ve seen the portrait of the Fire Worship Sect’s prodigy, Wyatt Barnes, and it looks different from this person in the portrait."

Fire Worship Sect’s prodigy, Wyatt Barnes, was well-known across the Martial Dao Sacred Land’s Upper Domain, and simultaneously, his ’portrait’ was spread among various major forces, including the Mysterious Buddha Sect.

Kieran Truman had coincidentally seen the portrait of Wyatt Barnes, the second prodigious figure of the Fire Worship Sect.

Due to that, he voiced skepticism.

"This Wyatt Barnes possesses a secret transmogrification technique that allows him to distort the muscles of his face without any external aid, achieving the effect of disguise... such a disguise is undetectable."

Facing Kieran Truman’s doubt, Steve Simpson responded with a cold tone.

Although he had only seen Wyatt Barnes’s transmogrification process recorded through a ’Son Mirror Talisman’...

As a powerful individual having reached the seventh transformation of Saint Immortal ’Sky Defying Transformation,’ standing at the pinnacle of Martial Dao Sacred Land, he naturally discerned the extraordinary transmogrification methods that Wyatt Barnes mastered.

"Such transmogrification techniques exist?"

Kieran Truman was filled with shock.

Once he came to his senses, he couldn’t help but exclaim, "Even the people of the Fire Worship Sect probably wouldn’t dream of it... that their second prodigious figure ’Wyatt Barnes’ was once the fabled Lower Domain’s lucky individual who obtained the super relic, the Demon Sealing Monument!"

"You are to reproduce this portrait in multiple copies and distribute it to all members of the Mysterious Buddha Sect currently in Sin City... report to me immediately if there’s any clue about this person!"

"This person is proficient in transmogrification, so even individuals with a physique resembling this person must be reported to me!"

Steve Simpson looked calmly at Kieran Truman, issuing orders with a chilling tone.

"Yes."

Kieran Truman responded respectfully and immediately departed with the portrait, seeking out other elders of the Mysterious Buddha Sect in Sin City.

At this moment, even though he harbored many doubts, he dared not continue questioning Steve Simpson.

"Sin City... it probably won’t see peace anytime soon."

After leaving, Kieran Truman thought to himself.

Based on the words of the Mysterious Buddha Sect’s Great Dharma King, the Golden Lion King, it was apparent:

Anyone found with a physique similar to the young man in the portrait would be unlikely to escape unscathed!
