Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2657: Clue to the ‘Immortal Fire’

Tony Campbell, a Daai Law Golden Immortal, the first Sacrificial Officer of the County Governor’s Mansion in Nine Nether County, has fallen in one of the nine cities under Nine Nether County’s jurisdiction, ’Bloodshade City’!

He died at the hands of the City Lord of Bloodshade City, ’Manuel Willow’.

Once this matter is spread, it will undoubtedly cause a sensation throughout Nine Nether County!

However, with the interference of ’Elder Hayden’, who is under Manuel Willow’s command, the incident that occurred outside the Main Mansion’s hall of Bloodshade City is only known by Elder Hayden himself, Wyatt Barnes, Manuel Willow, and Ares Cooper.

"Elijah... did you see that? Master... has avenged you!"

After killing Tony Campbell, Manuel Willow became agitated, looked towards the direction of the County City of Nine Nether County, and muttered almost deliriously.

"City Lord."

Thinking of a very important matter, Wyatt Barnes, who didn’t want to disturb Manuel Willow at this moment, had to speak up, "When you killed Tony Campbell, why didn’t I sense any trace of the ’Child Floating Shadow Immortal Talisman’ talisman force?"

Wyatt’s face turned grave.

Although at the moment of Tony Campbell’s death, even if visions appeared before the eyes of ’Tian Jiyu’, the County Governor of Nine Nether County, considering Wyatt Barnes’ value in the martial gathering of the sixteen counties a year later, it’s impossible for him to make things difficult for him.

However, Tian Jiyu might not spare Manuel Willow!

Perhaps, if Wyatt pleaded for Manuel Willow, Tian Jiyu wouldn’t trouble him for a short time.

But if it drags on, who can say?

After all, Wyatt couldn’t stay in Nine Nether County forever, couldn’t always protect Manuel Willow.

"He wouldn’t have a ’Child Floating Shadow Immortal Talisman’... rest assured."

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ somewhat urgent words, Manuel Willow came back to his senses and shook his head immediately to reassure Wyatt.

"No Child Floating Shadow Immortal Talisman?"

Wyatt was taken aback.

"Wyatt Barnes."

Seeing Wyatt’s confusion, without waiting for Manuel Willow to speak, Ares Cooper, standing beside Wyatt, said, "The Child Floating Shadow Immortal Talisman, anyone above the Daai Law Golden Immortal level can easily intercept its talisman force."

"Generally, those capable of killing Tony Campbell are mostly above the Daai Law Golden Immortal level... so placing a Child Floating Shadow Immortal Talisman on him is meaningless."

"Perhaps, your current cultivation isn’t at the Daai Law Golden Immortal level... but the attacks you can unleash aren’t weaker than an average Daai Law Golden Immortal, perhaps even much stronger! This was evident from your ability to defeat Tony Campbell and confine him."

"Previously, didn’t you intercept Tony Campbell’s messaging talisman? The fact that you intercepted even his messaging talisman means intercepting the talisman force of the Child Floating Shadow Immortal Talisman would be simple for you as well."

Ares Cooper explained in one breath.

"So that’s how it is... I thought he had a Child Floating Shadow Immortal Talisman on him and I hadn’t noticed."

Upon hearing Ares Cooper’s words, Wyatt Barnes finally understood and couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

Bam!!

At the same time, with a wave of his hand, Manuel Willow destroyed Tony Campbell’s corpse, leaving only a Storage Ring lying quietly on the ground.

With a lift of his hand, Manuel Willow conjured an invisible force that guided the Storage Ring to fly in front of Wyatt Barnes.

Seeing this, Wyatt accepted it without hesitation.

He knew that even if he showed politeness, it would be pointless.

With Manuel Willow’s character, it was impossible for him to privately collect Tony Campbell’s Storage Ring... because, in Manuel Willow’s eyes, it was the spoils of war that belonged to Wyatt Barnes!

And indeed, that was the case, so he accepted it without reserve.

"A Storage Ring of a Daai Law Golden Immortal..."

Thinking that this was a Daai Law Golden Immortal’s Storage Ring, Wyatt Barnes felt a rush of excitement and anticipation.

"Come in and sit."

After destroying Tony Campbell’s body without a trace, Manuel Willow invited Wyatt Barnes and Ares Cooper into the hall of the Main Mansion, intending to seat Wyatt in the main chair.

However, Wyatt Barnes did not sit in the main chair but chose the seat right below it.

Ares Cooper followed, sitting beside Wyatt.

Seeing this, Manuel Willow took the seat opposite Wyatt, in the position below the other side of the main chair.

Though Wyatt Barnes might not yet be a Daai Law Golden Immortal.

But in Manuel Willow’s eyes, Wyatt Barnes was no different from a Daai Law Golden Immortal; in front of someone of such stature, he naturally wouldn’t put on airs.

Let alone the fact that Wyatt had just avenged him!

As Manuel Willow sat down, a gust of wind blew into the hall; it was none other than Elder Hayden, head of the Golden Serpent Guards, returning.

After entering the hall, Elder Hayden materialized behind Manuel Willow, standing quietly, guarding him.

"Wyatt Barnes, you’ve truly given me a colossal ’surprise’!"

After Elder Hayden returned, Manuel Willow said to Wyatt Barnes after holding it in for a while.

"Spent two years... seemed to have kept you waiting, City Lord."

Wyatt Barnes replied with a smile.

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, everyone present—Ares Cooper sitting beside Wyatt, as well as Manuel Willow and Elder Hayden—couldn’t help but twitch their mouths.

A Heavenly Immortal ascender, having spent half a year ascending to Spiritual Heaven, took two years to attain the strength to defeat a ’Daai Law Golden Immortal’.

If this matter were to spread, the entire Spiritual Heaven would be shaken by it!

Yet in Wyatt Barnes’ words, it seemed as though it was nothing of value.

"Wyatt Barnes, you have no idea... Half a year ago, the City Lord was still worried about your safety, deeply fearing that you might meet your end at the hands of Tony Campbell before you fully grew."

Elder Hayden looked at Wyatt Barnes and sighed, "Who would have thought that half a year later, you would return from Nine Nether County’s County City, bringing back a severely injured Tony Campbell... and even helped the City Lord kill Tony Campbell, avenging Young Master Elijah!"

"Meet my end at the hands of Tony Campbell?"

Wyatt Barnes was once again taken aback.

Following that, through Manuel Willow’s words, Wyatt Barnes learned about what had happened half a year ago.

"Could it be that Felix Campbell knew I only ascended to Spiritual Heaven two and a half years ago... It turns out he came to Bloodshade City specifically and went to the Army of Silver Sea Dragon."

"However, Tony Campbell’s methods are indeed ruthless... To prevent the news of my ascension to Spiritual Heaven two and a half years ago from spreading, he almost wiped out the entire Army of Silver Sea Dragon!"

Now, Wyatt Barnes finally understood how Felix Campbell knew about his ascension to Spiritual Heaven two and a half years ago.

Additionally, what shocked him even more was:

Tony Campbell nearly wiped out the entire Army of Silver Sea Dragon because of this!

"Tony Campbell has always been ruthless in his actions... It is only because your strength surpassed his, otherwise, you might already be under his control."

Manuel Willow said.

Wyatt Barnes nodded, deeply agreeing with this.

"Elder Hayden, you may go now... I have some words I wish to speak privately with Wyatt Barnes."

Although Manuel Willow’s words were directed at Elder Hayden, his gaze was fixed on Ares Cooper, who was sitting beside Wyatt Barnes.

"Yes, City Lord."

Elder Hayden responded and withdrew.

"City Lord, Wyatt Barnes, I will also step outside for now."

Ares Cooper wisely exited the great hall.

For a moment, the vast hall was left with only Wyatt Barnes and Manuel Willow."

Whoosh!

Manuel Willow’s figure moved like the wind, standing up in a blink and standing in front of Wyatt Barnes, bending his body in a ninety-degree bow.

"City Lord, what are you...?"

Wyatt Barnes, startled by Manuel Willow’s action, also stood up.

"Wyatt Barnes, thank you."

Manuel Willow slightly straightened up, looking at Wyatt Barnes seriously.

"City Lord, there’s no need to thank me... This was the ’transaction’ we agreed upon two years ago, you provided me with the best cultivation environment in Bloodshade City, and the best resources you could offer, I helped you kill Tony Campbell, and we owe each other nothing."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head and said.

"I know we had a ’transaction’... However, in some respects, you suffered a great loss in this deal."

Manuel Willow also shook his head.

"There isn’t really any loss... since I agreed to the ’transaction’ proposed by you, City Lord, it means that the conditions you offered at the time moved me."

Wyatt Barnes continued to shake his head.

"Regardless, I still need to say this ’thank you.’

Manuel Willow said stubbornly.

Wyatt Barnes smiled wryly, a bit helpless.

"Fortunately, I also promised earlier, that after you help me kill Tony Campbell and avenge my direct disciple, I would reveal to you the clue about the ’Xian Fire’ I discovered in the past... Otherwise, I truly wouldn’t know how to repay you."

When Manuel Willow spoke again, he mentioned the ’Xian Fire’ he had told Wyatt about before.

This time, Wyatt Barnes did not refute Manuel Willow’s words, his eyes lit up, and his breathing became a bit hurried...

Two years ago, he had heard Manuel Willow talk about the ’Xian Fire.’

He knew the Xian Fire was extraordinary, possibly not just a ’Lower Grade Xian Fire.’

"Now, I will tell you where I discovered that ’Xian Fire’... It’s in a remote location, logically speaking, it’s quite unlikely anyone has discovered it over these years."

Manuel Willow looked at Wyatt Barnes and added, "Of course, it doesn’t rule out the possibility that someone has found that place, so be mentally prepared to avoid a big letdown when the time comes."

"Understood."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

A moment later, Wyatt Barnes learned from Manuel Willow where the ’Xian Fire’ was discovered, in another direction of Nine Nether County’s County City...

If Wyatt Barnes wanted to go there, he would need to return to Nine Nether County’s County City first.

"City Lord, if there’s nothing else, I will take my leave."

After learning the clue about the ’Xian Fire,’ Wyatt Barnes was eager to depart Bloodshade City, solely focused on heading to that location, perhaps fearing that someone else might get there first.

"Alright."

Manuel Willow nodded, understanding Wyatt Barnes’ current feelings.

However, before Wyatt Barnes left, he solemnly cautioned:

"Wyatt Barnes, although your current strength is not below that of an ordinary Daai Law Golden Immortal... I still hope that when you reach that place, you proceed with caution. If you can’t do it, then after you’ve further improved your strength, you can go to retrieve that ’Xian Fire.’
