Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2118: Explosive News

"This ’Purple Wisteria Fairy Thunder Talisman’ is said to be something only a ’quasi-immortal grade talisman master’ can inscribe... and in the Upper Domain, such masters are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!"

Looking at the ’Taoist Talisman’ in his hand, wrapped with purple lightning and thunder, Wyatt Barnes muttered to himself once again, "That Golden Lion King from the Mysterious Buddha Sect probably went through quite an effort to acquire such a talisman for his son, Cade Simpson, for self-protection."

"It’s just a pity that Cade Simpson didn’t even get the chance to activate this ’Purple Wisteria Fairy Thunder Talisman’ before I killed him in one strike... The Golden Lion King must have been furious enough to spit blood after seeing what happened through the ’Mirror Talisman’!"

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

Just as Wyatt assumed.

"Hmph!"

At a certain corner of Sin City, after the Mysterious Buddha Sect elder, Kieran Truman, left, the Golden Lion King, one of the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Mysterious Buddha Sect, Steve Simpson, let out a cold snort, his expression turning somber.

"The Purple Wisteria Fairy Thunder Talisman ended up as Wyatt Barnes’ possession just like that!"

Thinking of the ’Purple Wisteria Fairy Thunder Talisman’ he had painstakingly obtained, now becoming the possession of the murderer of his son, Steve Simpson felt a surge of frustration and anger.

He felt as if his lungs were about to explode from rage!

"Wyatt Barnes... No matter where you hide, I, Steve Simpson, will drag you out and tear you into pieces to avenge my son!"

As Steve Simpson murmured to himself, murderous intent surged from him, causing passing rogue cultivators to steer clear, fearing to become collateral damage.

...

In the time that followed, quite a few rogue cultivators were brutally slain in the streets of Sin City!

All these slain rogue cultivators shared one characteristic in common:

Their body types were remarkably similar, with a similarity exceeding ’eighty percent’!

"None of them is that ’Wyatt Barnes’!"

The person executing these rogue cultivators was none other than the Golden Lion King, one of the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Mysterious Buddha Sect, Steve Simpson.

Although Steve Simpson had killed many people in Sin City lately, none of the rogue cultivators with strength above the ’Seventh Transformation of the Saint Immortal’ came to stop him.

This left many rogue cultivators in Sin City somewhat bewildered.

"Another person died a few days ago... The ’Golden Lion King’ from the Mysterious Buddha Sect is too arrogant!"

Such voices were not uncommon in the taverns across Sin City.

As time went by, a group of rogue cultivators in Sin City also heard about the Golden Lion King’s visit.

"It’s said that the Golden Lion King is searching for the person who killed his son, Cade Simpson! Anyone with a body type similar to the person who killed his son by ’eighty percent’ will be slain by him!"

"Killing based on body type? Is the Golden Lion King blind? Does he only remember the body type of the person who killed his son and not their appearance?"

"It seems that the nemesis of the Golden Lion King is skilled in some mysterious disguise technique, able to change appearances at will, and cannot be detected by divine sense."

"In this case, it’s understandable why the Golden Lion King is acting this way... It’s long been said that the Golden Lion King cherished his late-born son dearly. Now it seems that’s indeed the case!"

...

Everywhere in Sin City, similar comments were rampant.

Now, everyone knew that one of the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Mysterious Buddha Sect, the Golden Lion King’s son, was killed and that he had come for revenge.

Above the clouds over Sin City.

The Golden Lion King, Steve Simpson, stood with his hands behind his back, his towering stature resembling an iron tower floating in the sky, immovable as a mountain, exuding an invisible aura of oppression.

"Could he have left Sin City already?"

Unknowingly, Steve Simpson furrowed his brows and murmured in a low voice.

Recently, nearly a hundred people had died by his hand.

All these people had body types very similar to that of ’Wyatt Barnes’ who killed his son, yet none were Wyatt Barnes!

"The time agreed upon with those few is almost up..."

At this thought, Steve Simpson’s face turned utterly grim once again.

The ’few’ he referred to were the rogue cultivators in Sin City with strength above the ’Seventh Transformation of the Saint Immortal.

When he first arrived in Sin City recently, he visited those rogue cultivators one by one.

After paying certain ’costs,’ he received their permission.

He was granted permission to slaughter rogue cultivators in Sin City!

Of course, there was a time limitation.

Moreover, Steve Simpson was not allowed to kill indiscriminately, only those with body types similar to his son’s murderer.

Now, the time given to him by those individuals was nearly at an end.

Once the time is up, he can no longer continue to commit indiscriminate killings as he did during this period, in Sin City.

"Wyatt Barnes, do you think that hiding will save you?"

Suddenly, Steve Simpson seemed to think of something, squinted his eyes, and gave a cold smile.

On that day, an explosive piece of news spread throughout ’Sin City’:

"Hey! Have you heard? The person who killed the Golden Lion King’s son, Cade Simpson, is named ’Wyatt Barnes’, and he’s from the Lower Domain... Initially, Cade Simpson took the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ from him!"

"I’ve heard of him! He seems to be the Junior House Master of the near-third-rate Mansion of Azure Clouds in the Lower Domain... But you’re saying he killed Cade Simpson? How is that possible?!"

"Exactly! How is that possible?! How could someone from the Lower Domain kill Cade Simpson?!"

"Believe it or not, I certainly don’t believe it!"

...

As the news spread that the person who killed Cade Simpson was the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, Wyatt Barnes, the entire Sin City was in an uproar, yet few believed Wyatt Barnes could kill Cade Simpson.

"What a joke! That Wyatt Barnes, although considered a genius in the Lower Domain, is nothing in the Upper Domain! How could he possibly have the power to kill Cade Simpson in just a year or two? Impossible!"

"This news is too fake, isn’t it? Sounds like fake news! Boring!"

"If that Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds from the Lower Domain could kill Cade Simpson, then I could be ranked first on the ’Extreme Saint Ranking’!"

...

Half a day passed, and still, no one believed that the mere person from the Lower Domain, ’Wyatt Barnes’, could kill Cade Simpson.

Just then, another explosive piece of news spread throughout Sin City:

"The Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds from the Lower Domain, ’Wyatt Barnes’, has only been in the Upper Domain for a year or two and has joined the Fire Worship Sect, becoming their second Heaven’s Chosen One!"

This news caused a sensation in the entire Sin City, leaving many inside bewildered.

The second Heaven’s Chosen of the Fire Worship Sect, ’Wyatt Barnes’, has recently become so famous in the Upper Domain that almost everyone knows of him.

However, even so, no one connected him with the Junior House Master ’Wyatt Barnes’ from the Mansion of Azure Clouds in the Lower Domain.

Almost everyone thought the two just happened to have the same name.

"The second Heaven’s Chosen of the Fire Worship Sect, ’Wyatt Barnes’, is actually the same Junior House Master from the Mansion of Azure Clouds in the Lower Domain? Is this... true?!"

"I’ve seen portraits of both the Junior House Master ’Wyatt Barnes’ from the Mansion of Azure Clouds and the second Heaven’s Chosen of the Fire Worship Sect, ’Wyatt Barnes’... they are not the same person at all!"

"Don’t forget, previous news said that the person who killed Cade Simpson knew some unfathomable disguise technique... If those two Wyatt Barnes are the same person, it wouldn’t be surprising that their appearances are different; it’s entirely possible with disguise."

"Now that you mention it, I remember the matter of Cade Simpson’s death... If that Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds from the Lower Domain is indeed the second Heaven’s Chosen of the Fire Worship Sect, given his strength, it’s not surprising he could kill Cade Simpson."

"So, these news are true? The Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds and the second Heaven’s Chosen of the Fire Worship Sect is the same person? Not just someone with the same name? And the one who killed Cade Simpson was indeed him?"

"Although it still seems unbelievable, it does appear to be true."

...

As one explosive piece of news after another linked together, many loose cultivators in Sin City suddenly understood.

If the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds in the Lower Domain and the second Heaven’s Chosen of the Fire Worship Sect, both named ’Wyatt Barnes’, are indeed the same person...

Then everything is easily explained!

With the strength of the second Heaven’s Chosen from the Fire Worship Sect, ’Wyatt Barnes’, it wasn’t hard to kill Cade Simpson.

Immediately, the entire Sin City was in an uproar.

"I truly did not expect that the second Heaven’s Chosen of the Fire Worship Sect, ’Wyatt Barnes’, is the same person as the former Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds from the Lower Domain... Even Cade Simpson could not have imagined this in his wildest dreams!"

"Indeed. A year or two ago, he was like an ant in front of Cade Simpson, having his super sacred artifact, the ’Demon Sealing Monument’, taken from him... Now, after only a year or two, he appears in the Upper Domain, not only becoming the second Heaven’s Chosen of the Fire Worship Sect but also killing him and successfully taking his revenge!"

"A person from the Lower Domain, coming to the Upper Domain, achieving such accomplishments in a mere year or two... the talent of that Wyatt Barnes must be extremely terrifying!"

"Could it be... his martial talent is the legendary ’Purple Spirit Root’?!"

...

Within Sin City, whether among loose cultivators or those from various forces in the city, everyone was amazed by the martial talent of ’Wyatt Barnes’.

"Wyatt Barnes killed Cade Simpson; this can be considered revenge... But it’s unknown if the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ was with Cade Simpson at the time. If it was, the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ has likely been returned to its rightful owner now."

"I don’t think it’s likely that the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ was with Cade Simpson... No matter what, it’s a super sacred artifact listed on the ’Top Ten Sacred Artifact List’. When he took it back to the Mysterious Buddha Sect initially, he probably handed it over to his father, one of the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Mysterious Buddha Sect, the ’Golden Lion King’."

"I think so too."

...

At some point, many people’s attention shifted to the super sacred artifact, the ’Demon Sealing Monument’.

After all, the enmity between Elder Cade Simpson of the Mysterious Buddha Sect and the person from the Lower Domain, Wyatt Barnes, was entirely due to the ’Demon Sealing Monument’!
