Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2677: Chapter 2677: The Mysterious Powerhouse

"Stronger than the County Governor?"

Hearing Manuel Willow’s words, Wyatt Barnes’s expression became slightly more serious.

With his current strength, even if he used the Heavenly Artifact ’Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword,’ he might at most end in a draw with the County Governor of Nine Nether County. Defeating the County Governor is extremely difficult.

Because the County Governor of Nine Nether County not only had a cultivation level higher than the Daai Law Golden Immortal ’Tony Campbell’ who died by his hand, but also mastered more profound Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities.

Therefore, even though Wyatt had taken the Gold Pill, advancing his cultivation to the ’Green Day Golden Immortal’ level, he didn’t dare claim his strength was greater than that County Governor of Nine Nether County.

Even defeating the County Governor of Nine Nether County is challenging for him.

Not to mention someone even stronger than that!

"An old woman?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at Manuel Willow and asked, "City Lord Willow, this old woman you mentioned... what does she want with me?"

Wyatt couldn’t figure it out:

How could someone as powerful as her be looking for him, someone who had just recently ascended to the Spiritual Heavens, ’Love Rowan’?

"I don’t know what she wants with you... but I’m certain that it’s nothing good. When she mentioned you, while her face showed no emotion, her eyes hid a killing intention. She clearly wants to kill you!"

Manuel Willow said gravely.

"Kill me?"

Wyatt’s pupils shrank, and he appeared frightened, his heart surging like a stormy sea:

"I have only been in this Spiritual Heavens ’Love Rowan’ for less than three years... in all this time, I’ve mostly stayed in Nine Nether County, so how could I provoke someone so powerful?"

"Could it be... someone sent by Rocky Cloud from the Divine Ruin Lands?"

"But... wasn’t the passage from the Divine Ruin Lands to the Heavenly Planes already sealed? How could Rocky Cloud, trapped in the Divine Ruin Lands, send someone to kill me?"

"Moreover... if Rocky Cloud sent someone, there wouldn’t be any need for them to come to Bloodshade City to trace my whereabouts."

Wyatt recalled the person Rocky Cloud sent to the worldly plane to kill him. That person tore through space and appeared in the Yan Huang plane, yet in conversation, he revealed strength surpassing most Heavenly Emperors in the Heavenly Planes!

If it were someone sent by Rocky Cloud to kill him, they wouldn’t even need to enter Nine Nether County. With a thought, through the reach of their Divine Sense, they could lock onto his location.

"If it’s not someone sent by Rocky Cloud... then who could it be?"

"Since arriving in Love Rowan, my actions don’t seem to have intersected with someone of that level, have they?"

Wyatt truly couldn’t understand why he’d be targeted by such a powerful presence, let alone why they’d want to kill him.

Killing requires a motive.

But he truly couldn’t fathom what motive that old woman might have for wanting to kill him.

"Wyatt Barnes, you’ve been in Love Rowan for less than three years... how could you have provoked such a presence?" frёewebnoѵēl.com

Manuel Willow looked at Wyatt Barnes and asked.

"I don’t know either."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, unable to make sense of why he’d have provoked someone of that level.

"Could it be... because of ’Tony Campbell’?"

Manuel Willow took a deep breath and asked.

"Tony Campbell?"

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, "Let’s not mention that the only people who know Tony Campbell died at the hands of the City Lord are just us... even those who know I brought Tony Campbell to Bloodshade City and handed him over to the City Lord for disposal are still only us."

"If that old woman came because of Tony Campbell, she wouldn’t target just me! Moreover, after meeting with you, she didn’t make things difficult for the City Lord, which shows her wanting to kill me has nothing to do with Tony Campbell."

Wyatt analyzed.

Upon hearing Wyatt’s analysis, Manuel Willow nodded, evidently finding Wyatt’s analysis reasonable. "If that’s the case... then why is she targeting you specifically?"

"Could it be a powerful person that King Cooper’s other fifteen counties hired to kill me?"

Wyatt frowned.

"A powerful person hired by the other fifteen counties?"

Manuel Willow was taken aback.

"Impossible... if it were a powerful person hired by the other fifteen counties to kill me, they would know I’m in the county city of Nine Nether County. Moreover, so far, the County Governors of the other fifteen counties might not even know my actions in the Mullins Family within the county city."

Upon thinking carefully, Wyatt Barnes felt it was unlikely that the old woman could have been a powerful figure hired by the other fifteen counties.

"Wyatt Barnes, what are you talking about?"

"Why would the other fifteen counties hire a powerful person to kill you?"

Manuel Willow asked.

Regarding Wyatt Barnes’s recent actions at the Mullins Family, although word had spread from Nine Nether County’s county city throughout the county, time constraints meant it had yet to reach Bloodshade City.

In response to Manuel Willow’s query, Wyatt Barnes recounted his actions at the Mullins Family that day.

He also explained his ’reason’ for leaving the County Governor’s Mansion and departing from the county city. freewēbnoveℓ.com

"So that’s how it was..."

Manuel Willow, realizing, couldn’t help but feel a bit fortunate, "It seems that the old woman who left our Bloodshade City and headed for the county city just missed crossing paths with you."

"Does this mean... I actually managed to keep my life after leaving this time?"

Wyatt Barnes’s gaze flickered, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit fortunate.

"Wyatt, since you’ve left County City and are planning to leave Nine Nether County... why have you come to Bloodshade City?"

Manuel Willow asked.

"I’ve come to bid you farewell, City Lord... And also, to thank you for telling me the clue about the ’Xian Fire.’"

Wyatt said straightforwardly.

"You... you obtained that Xian Fire?"

Manuel Willow’s eyes lit up.

"Yes."

Wyatt nodded.

"Is it a lower-grade Xian Fire?"

Manuel Willow asked again.

"Yes." Wyatt nodded. "Initially, I didn’t know its grade... But later, when I attempted to refine the lower-grade Immortal Pill ’Spirit Essence Pill,’ I found it was already at its limit. So, at that time, I confirmed it was a ’lower-grade Xian Fire.’"

Currently, the gray flame Wyatt used indeed could only compare to a ’lower-grade Xian Fire.’

As for the majority of the gray flame hidden within the incomplete iron piece, he couldn’t use it yet, a fact he didn’t share with Manuel Willow, because he wasn’t sure if he would be able to utilize the rest of the gray flame in the future.

If he could use the remaining gray flame, it would be comparable to a ’medium-grade Xian Fire.’"

"Even though it’s a lower-grade Xian Fire, since it could only be collected by those beyond a Daai Law Golden Immortal, it’s clearly not an ordinary lower-grade Xian Fire. Wyatt, congratulations on successfully obtaining the lower-grade Xian Fire and becoming a ’lower-grade Dan Master.’"

Manuel Willow congratulated Wyatt.

"It’s all thanks to you, City Lord, for providing the clue about the Xian Fire; otherwise, I couldn’t have obtained it, let alone become a Dan Master."

Wyatt smiled slightly as he took out a Storage Ring and handed it to Manuel Willow.

"What is this?"

Manuel Willow was taken aback.

"Since I’m leaving this time and don’t know when I’ll return... consider these belongings my token of thanks for the Xian Fire clue you provided."

Wyatt laughed.

"Wyatt."

Manuel Willow smiled wryly, "When I betrayed you and informed that old woman of your whereabouts, the favor you owed me was considered repaid... If anything, I owe you."

"You avenged my personal disciple, and I repaid you with betrayal..."

The more he spoke, the more guilt showed on Manuel Willow’s face.

"City Lord, you were compelled to do it, I understand. Besides, I’m okay, right?"

Wyatt shook his head with a smile, "Accept it... it’s a token of my appreciation."

After Wyatt’s repeated persuasion, Manuel Willow finally accepted the Storage Ring. However, when he recognized the owner of the ring and saw the mountain-like pile of top-grade Immortal Stones and dozens of bottles of lower-grade Immortal Pill ’Spirit Essence Pill’ inside, he hurriedly removed the ownership of the Storage Ring.

"Wyatt, this is too much... Keep these Immortal Stones and Spirit Essence Pills for yourself."

Manuel Willow handed the Storage Ring back to Wyatt.

"City Lord, just accept it... I don’t lack Immortal Stones and Spirit Essence Pills right now."

Wyatt didn’t take the Storage Ring handed by Manuel Willow. Shaking his head, he continued, "Now that I’ve accomplished my ’purpose’ for returning to Bloodshade City, it’s time to leave... If I have the chance in the future, I’ll return to visit you again, City Lord."

"Wyatt!"

Just as Wyatt was about to leave, Manuel Willow called him back with a grave expression and asked, "You don’t really still plan to participate in the ’Sixteen Counties Martial Competition’ held by King Cooper’s Mansion, do you?"

"I promised the Lord County Governor."

Wyatt replied, "And if I can win first place in the Sixteen Counties Martial Competition, I will surely be valued by King Cooper’s Mansion... Then, I’ll be able to use the cultivation environment and resources they provide to further improve myself!"

"But... if that old woman is lying in wait at King Cooper’s Mansion, wouldn’t you be in great danger? After all, her strength is greater than that of the Lord County Governor. At that time, the Lord County Governor might not be able to protect you."

Manuel Willow said with a wry smile.

"There are so many strong people in King Cooper’s Mansion... surely she wouldn’t dare cause trouble there, right?"

Wyatt said with a frown.

"It’s hard to say... After all, I can only confirm her strength is not weaker than the Lord County Governor’s. As for whether anyone in King Cooper’s Mansion can handle her, I am not sure."

Manuel Willow said with a wary look, "Once she reaches County City in Nine Nether County and can’t find you, a little inquiry will surely reveal why you left County City..."

"She might very well lie in wait when the Sixteen Counties Martial Competition is held at King Cooper’s Mansion!"

Manuel Willow said.

"Unless... you can confirm that with her strength, she can’t cause any trouble in King Cooper’s Mansion."

Manuel Willow added.

"But... can you confirm that? After all, you don’t even know her background."
