Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2724: Chapter 2724: Uninvited Guests

Back then, after his cultivation broke through to achieve ’Cyan Sun Golden Immortal’, Wyatt Barnes discovered he could control more grey flames.

The additional grey flames, after his cultivation further broke through, then left the fragmented metal piece and merged with the part of the grey flames he could already control, becoming part of that grey flame.

This also caused that part of the grey flames to grow significantly.

And now, after his cultivation broke through again, achieving ’Blue Sun Golden Immortal’, Wyatt Barnes found more grey flames leaving the fragmented metal and becoming part of the grey flames he could control.

Looking at the current situation, by the time he breaks through to achieve ’Daai Law Golden Immortal’, all the grey flames inside the fragmented metal piece should be able to come out and merge into the grey flames he can control, allowing the grey flames to further grow.

"The day I break through to achieve Daai Law Golden Immortal... should be the day I master the ’Mid-Grade Immortal Fire’!"

With the improvement of the grey flames he could control, Wyatt Barnes was increasingly convinced:

As long as he could control all the grey flames within the fragmented metal piece, those grey flames were definitely not as simple as low-grade immortal fire, at least ’Mid-Grade Immortal Fire’!

"And by then... I will also become a ’Mid-Grade Alchemy Immortal Master’!"

At this thought, Wyatt Barnes’s eyes flashed brightly once more.

After another glance at the grey flames he could control, Wyatt Barnes extinguished them with a single thought.

"However, Leilany was able to see through the fact that there are ninety-nine Heavenly Veins within me... I wonder if it’s a special ability of the Mystical Fox clan, or of her true form as the ’Thousand Illusion Ice Fox’."

Thinking about Leilany’s words earlier, which revealed the existence of ninety-nine Heavenly Veins within him, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but be astounded.

"According to the Tower Spirit of the Jewel Tower, the three-legged Golden Crow ’Elder Fire’... how many Heavenly Veins a person has, even a strong figure of the ’Heavenly Emperor’ level of the various heavenly planes can’t see through. Up until now, the only people who could see the ninety-nine Heavenly Veins within me besides Leilany are Ernest Summer, the third uncle from Keer’s past life from the Divine Ruin Lands!"

The strength of Ernest Summer was decidedly stronger than the Heavenly Emperor of the heavenly planes, this is without doubt.

However, Leilany’s strength was far inferior to the Heavenly Emperor.

So Wyatt Barnes felt that the reason Leilany could see the ninety-nine Heavenly Veins within him was likely due to her special ability as a member of the Mystical Fox clan, or her true form as the Thousand Illusion Ice Fox.

"Leilany... is really extraordinary."

Now, Wyatt Barnes felt increasingly aware of Leilany’s extraordinary nature.

The most important thing was that Leilany had also said:

She, like him, also possessed ninety-nine Heavenly Veins.

"Guest, Little Six is here."

Just when Wyatt Barnes was still lost in thoughts of all the things that had happened since he met Leilany, as if in a dream, the maid ’Orange’ knocked on his door several times, and her voice timely came through.

The courtyard guest rooms of Drifting Cloud Inn are equipped with soundproof formations in the two innermost rooms, creating a small gap only when there was a knock on the door, otherwise, Orange’s voice wouldn’t have passed through.

Upon hearing this, Wyatt Barnes promptly opened the door and walked out, arriving at the courtyard’s main entrance.

"Guest."

Seeing the young servant ’Little Six’ again, Wyatt Barnes could clearly feel that the way he looked at him had changed, and his attitude towards him was more respectful than before.

"Why does it feel like you’ve become more attentive after just a few days?"

Wyatt Barnes joked.

"Guest, please don’t make fun of me."

Little Six said with a bitter smile: "Now, looking across the entire Capital City of Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, who doesn’t know about what you and your companion have done? I really didn’t expect you and your companion to actually kill the elder of the Campbell Family!"

"And yet, killed him right in front of the Campbell Family’s Fourth Miss, ’Jenny Campbell’!"

"However, luckily you didn’t kill the Campbell Family’s Fourth Miss... Otherwise, even our Drifting Cloud Inn couldn’t have protected you."

As Little Six spoke, he expressed his behalf Wyatt Barnes’s relief.

"Why do you say that?"

Wyatt Barnes asked unexpectedly.

Three days ago, when he had just arrived at Drifting Cloud Inn, knowing that Drifting Cloud Inn was not afraid of the Campbell Family, he had regretted not killing the main culprit, the Campbell Family’s Fourth Miss, because she was the instigator.

He spared her life also to avoid any harm to his stay with Leilany in the Capital City of Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, fearing the Campbell Family might retaliate desperately.

"Guest, if it were just the ordinary members of the Campbell Family you killed, then that’s done... But the sons and daughters of the Campbell Family’s patriarch, they are absolutely off-limits! Because they are direct cousins with the Fourth Prince of our Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, and have very close relations."

"Especially the Campbell Family’s Fourth Miss... She usually has the closest relationship with the Fourth Prince, and the Fourth Prince cares for her very much, treating her like his own sister. If you had killed her, not only would the Campbell Family seek revenge, even the Fourth Prince would."

Little Six explained.

"Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s Fourth Prince?"

Upon hearing Little Six’s words, Wyatt Barnes raised his eyebrows, not anticipating such a close connection between the Campbell Family’s Fourth Miss and the Fourth Prince of Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation.

Three days ago, at the tavern, he had heard people mention the three most outstanding princes of the Imperial Family of Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, including this ’Fourth Prince’, and heard that he was one of the two most promising to become the next emperor of Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation.

"Yes."

Little Six nodded, "The Fourth Prince’s biological mother is the current head of the Campbell Family, and also the real sister of the father of the Campbell Family’s Fourth Miss."

Wyatt Barnes understood.

"Guest, you’ve summoned me, is there something you’d like me to take care of?"

Little Six returned to the main topic and asked.

"The ’Year Family’ that owns Drifting Cloud Inn, they should have an auction house, right?"

Wyatt Barnes asked.

"Yes."

Little Six nodded and then smiled, "Why? Is the guest interested in the auction?"

"Hmm."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

"Our Year Family’s auction house holds a small auction every month and a large auction every year... In five days, it will be the day of a small auction held by the Year Family’s auction house."

Little Six said.

After saying that, he added, "And the Year Family’s auction house is located near our Drifting Cloud Inn... If the guest wants to participate in the auction, just let me know, and I’ll arrange for you to join other guests and be escorted by the Year Family’s experts."

"What kind of items are typically up for auction in these small auctions?"

Wyatt Barnes asked.

He needed to understand this first before deciding whether to attend the monthly small auction held by the Year Family.

In his opinion:

With such frequent auctions, there likely wouldn’t be any rare or unique items.

However, the ’Profound Rank Cultivation Techniques’ he sought shouldn’t be considered rare or unique things in the Capital City of Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation...

Moreover, in the myriad realms, cultivation techniques can be duplicated using memory immortal talismans.

Next, as Little Six spoke, Wyatt Barnes immediately relaxed, "As I thought, in this Capital City of Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, Profound Rank Cultivation Techniques aren’t considered rare or unique items..."

"At the small auction in five days, there will be seven Profound Rank Cultivation Techniques up for auction."

Wyatt Barnes felt at ease and also greeted Little Six, "Little Six, please arrange for me... I plan to attend the small auction held by the Year Family’s auction house in five days."

...

Little Six had just left not long ago, Wyatt Barnes stayed in the courtyard for a while and was about to return to his room when several uninvited guests arrived at his courtyard guest room.

"Guest, the Fourth Prince wishes to see you."

From outside the courtyard gate, a loud and energetic voice came through, causing Wyatt Barnes, who was about to return to his room, to pause, and maid ’Orange’ quickly looked towards Wyatt Barnes and said, "Guest, it’s the voice of our inn’s manager."

"The manager of Drifting Cloud Inn?"

Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow and then looked at Orange, saying, "Orange, please open the door."

After he spoke, Wyatt Barnes returned to the stone table in the courtyard and calmly sat down.

Once the courtyard gate was opened, Orange respectfully saluted the outsiders.

Soon, four people entered from outside, including one who was an ’old acquaintance’ of Wyatt Barnes.

Of course, calling them ’old acquaintance’ only meant they’d met once before.

It was none other than the Fourth Miss of the Campbell Family, ’Jenny Campbell.’

As they say, ’when enemies meet, eyes blaze with hatred,’ as soon as Jenny Campbell walked in, she glared angrily at Wyatt Barnes, with an expression of gritted teeth, as if she wished to tear Wyatt Barnes into pieces and grind his bones into ashes.

Jenny Campbell and a young man in a gold-adorned green robe walked at the front, while behind them followed a seemingly ordinary old man who gave Wyatt Barnes a sense of great depth, and a middle-aged man in luxurious attire.

Through Orange’s salute to the four people, Wyatt Barnes also realized the luxurious middle-aged man was the manager of Drifting Cloud Inn.

As for the other two, the young man in the gold-adorned green robe, with a strong and tall stature, handsome and resolute face, exceptional temperament, was likely Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s Fourth Prince, Judson Dragonsmith!

And the other old man was very likely the Fourth Prince’s protector.

Being able to follow alone beside Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s Fourth Prince to protect him, clearly, he wasn’t an ordinary figure, at least a ’Love Rowan Upper Immortal’-level existence, and most likely not an ordinary Love Rowan Upper Immortal.

After the four entered, Wyatt Barnes sat directly at the table, from start to finish, without any intention of standing.

"How insolent!"

Jenny Campbell glared angrily at Wyatt Barnes, somewhat arrogantly barking, "The Fourth Prince is here, yet you don’t stand to salute?"

"Ah, so it’s Miss Campbell..."

Facing Jenny Campbell’s angry accusation, Wyatt Barnes lifted his eyelids slightly, cast a faint glance at her, and then his gaze landed on the consistently calm Fourth Prince of Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation who was looking at him.
