Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2628: Marauders

"Wyatt Barnes, according to the ’Memory Immortal Talisman’ introduction from City Lord Willow, you joined the Bloodshade City’s command under the Black Dragon Army just over half a year ago... And upon joining the Black Dragon Army, you immediately killed a Centurion at the Golden Immortal level."

"Later, in a restaurant in Bloodshade City, in a single encounter, you incapacitated one arm of Noel Yorke, a Centurion from the Army of Silver Sea Dragon... and Noel Yorke ranks within the top three of the ten Centurions in the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, being an ’Orange Sun Golden Immortal’. "

The old man leading the way, the ’County Governor’s Mansion Special Envoy’, spoke while casting a deep glance at Wyatt Barnes, "It is precisely because of this that City Lord Willow directly allocated a spot for you! It shows City Lord Willow holds you in high regard."

"All thanks to the City Lord’s favor."

Wyatt humbly responded.

"No need to be humble."

The old man smiled faintly, "Your ability to defeat a Centurion ranked within the top three of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon and an Orange Sun Golden Immortal under the age of one hundred indicates your strength is outstanding among Bloodshade City’s Golden Immortal experts under the age of one hundred."

"City Lord Willow is always cautious in his actions, and this time allocating a spot for you, you fully deserve it."

The old man’s gaze turned more appreciative as he looked at Wyatt Barnes.

In his view:

Based on Wyatt Barnes’ previous ’achievements’, he is undoubtedly the strongest among the under-aged one hundred Golden Immortal experts in Bloodshade City, even surpassing Ares Cooper beside him now.

Since the old man had only been in Bloodshade City for a short while, he hadn’t heard the ’rumor’ that Wyatt Barnes had only ascended to Spiritual Heaven over half a year ago.

Nevertheless, even if he heard such a rumor, he, like most people in Bloodshade City, wouldn’t believe it to be true.

What a joke!

A ’Heavenly Immortal’ who just ascended to Spiritual Heaven, able to defeat Noel Yorke, one of the top three among the ten Centurions of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon?

Even though Wyatt Barnes’ soul is protected by that ’damaged iron piece’ making it difficult for ordinary people to probe his age through his soul.

But in myriad dimensions, experts above Golden Immortal can still ascertain someone’s approximate age through the aura of their flesh and blood...

That’s why at first glance, the old man could ascertain:

Wyatt Barnes’ age indeed is under one hundred!

"You only know I’m the County Governor’s Mansion Special Envoy, but not my name... I’m called ’Christian Clark’, an inner mansion elder of the County Governor’s Mansion."

The old man’s gaze swept over Wyatt Barnes and Ares Cooper as he casually introduced himself.

"Inner mansion elder?!"

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Wyatt Barnes remained unaffected, while Ares Cooper couldn’t help but show a startled expression and said, "Elder Christian Clark... as far as I know, the County Governor’s Mansion of Nine Nether County only has thirteen inner mansion elders."

"And every inner mansion elder is a ’Purple Sun Golden Immortal’!"

Subsequently, Ares Cooper looked at the old man with increased respect.

Even though he already knew the old man was the County Governor’s Mansion Special Envoy earlier, he didn’t know he was an inner mansion elder, a ’Purple Sun Golden Immortal’!

Purple Sun Golden Immortal, a peak Golden Immortal, closest to ’Daai Law Golden Immortal’.

In contrast, Wyatt Barnes maintained a calm demeanor throughout.

Only because, before departing Bloodshade City, Bloodshade City Lord Manuel Willow had already informed him of this old man’s background through transmission.

Thus, he had long known:

This old man is an inner mansion elder of the County Governor’s Mansion of Nine Nether County, and a genuine ’Purple Sun Golden Immortal’!

"Traveling from Nine Nether County City to Nine Nether County’s nine subordinate cities, the journey is far; inevitably, we encounter some road-blocking bandits along the way... among whom some are quite strong, including ’Purple Sun Golden Immortal’ level individuals."

The old man, the inner mansion elder of the County Governor’s Mansion ’Christian Clark’, said: "So this time, those sent by the County Governor’s Mansion to pick up people from the nine cities under Nine Nether County are, without exception, inner mansion elders."

"This is also to maximize your safety."

Christian Clark continued.

Ares Cooper nodded.

"Elder Christian Clark."

Wyatt Barnes looked at Christian Clark and curiously asked, "Do you know, this time, the County Governor’s Mansion recruits from the nine cities under its jurisdiction, two Golden Immortals under the age of one hundred like me and Ares Cooper... exactly for what purpose?"

"Specifically, I’m not quite sure for now... But, it’s said to be related to ’King Cooper’s Palace’.’"

Christian Clark said.

Hearing Christian Clark’s words, Wyatt Barnes realized his question was in vain because he had already heard this from Bloodshade City Lord Manuel Willow before.

However, the mention of ’King Cooper’s Palace’ caused a peculiar glint to flash in Ares Cooper’s eyes beside Wyatt Barnes.

Since the peculiar glint in his eyes disappeared instantly, neither Wyatt Barnes nor Christian Clark noticed it.

"Just mentioned robbers ahead... surprisingly, someone has targeted us this quickly."

Christian Clark suddenly turned his head, his gaze sharply falling on the high skies ahead, indicating he discovered something, and spoke in a deep voice.

For a moment, Wyatt Barnes and Ares Cooper’s gazes also fell upon the high skies in front.

And yet, it was discovered that the clouds high above in the sky ahead looked somewhat unusual compared to clouds at other places...

Almost immediately after Christian Clark, Wyatt Barnes and Ares Cooper also turned their gazes towards the sky ahead.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

From behind the clouds high above, swift figures shot out, swooping down, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded the three of them.

"You’ve been discovered... You’re truly a ’Purple Sun Golden Immortal’!"

As the three were surrounded by more than twenty individuals, two elderly figures descended leisurely, appearing in the path of Wyatt Barnes and the others, revealing two aged men.

One wore a black robe, the other a white robe.

The elderly man in the black robe was gaunt, resembling a bamboo pole; the elder in the white robe was plump, akin to a ball.

Now, their eyes were fixed on Christian Clark.

Upon hearing the newcomers say that Christian Clark was indeed a ’Purple Sun Golden Immortal’, Ares Cooper’s expression changed.

This meant, of course:

It meant the opponent wasn’t afraid of a ’Purple Sun Golden Immortal’!

Even Wyatt was somewhat surprised upon hearing their words, thinking to himself, "Our luck is this good? We’ve just left Bloodshade City and already encountered robbers of the ’Purple Sun Golden Immortal’ caliber?"

As those above the Daai Law Golden Immortal level disdain to rob passing immortals in a small place like Nine Nether County, Wyatt didn’t believe among the elderly pair facing Christian Clark, there were any of the Daai Law Golden Immortal level.

However, since they weren’t afraid of Christian this Purple Sun Golden Immortal, it indicated they included someone of the Purple Sun Golden Immortal caliber, perhaps even more than one!

"After probing my full power, still daring to appear..."

Meanwhile, Christian Clark also focused on the two aged men before him, speaking deeply, "If I’m not mistaken... you two should be the infamous ’Black and White Duo’ of the Nine Nether County."

"Indeed... You’re quite perceptive."

The white-robed elder squinted his eyes, which were almost squeezed shut by his face’s fat, smiling innocuously.

"I’ve long heard the Black and White Duo are both ’Purple Sun Golden Immortals’, extremely cunning, with hideaways everywhere... Our County Governor’s Mansion has sent people multiple times intending to eradicate you, but it’s always hard to pinpoint your whereabouts."

After receiving confirmation from the elder in the white robe, Christian Clark’s face revealed a faint smile, "Just in time... I’ve encountered you today. Seems my luck isn’t bad."

Although he smiled, a cold glint passed through Christian Clark’s eyes, filled with killing intent!

"The County Governor’s Mansion?!"

Almost as soon as Christian’s words fell, the faces of the white-robed and black-robed elders changed.

The expressions of the twenty-something individuals surrounding Wyatt Barnes and the others changed as well, and their bodies trembled violently from fright...

The County Governor’s Mansion!

It was considered a mighty force within Nine Nether County, perhaps even the strongest!

Over the years, the County Governor’s Mansion repeatedly sent people to destroy their organization, forcing them to wander endlessly, unable to stay long in one place...

Recently, they had just arrived near Bloodshade City, only to unexpectedly encounter people from the County Governor’s Mansion.

They originally thought the Purple Sun Golden Immortal was a ’big fish’, yet hadn’t anticipated he was from the County Governor’s Mansion!

"Sir... Are you truly from the County Governor’s Mansion?"

The black-robed elder took a deep breath, looked at Christian Clark and said, "As long as you can present your ’identity token’ proving you’re from the County Governor’s Mansion... Today, not only will our organization cease troubling you, but we’re also willing to offer a thousand medium-grade immortal stones as an apology gift."

If they could confirm the man before them was from the County Governor’s Mansion, it would truly be trouble they couldn’t afford!

Even if their power was lesser, they dared not easily dispatch him.

Once he died, they’d completely enrage the County Governor’s Mansion, who might send a Daai Law Golden Immortal to hunt them down.

In the past, the County Governor’s Mansion couldn’t find them simply because they hadn’t dispatched any strong individuals of the Daai Law Golden Immortal level.

If Daai Law Golden Immortals took action, unless they left the Nine Nether County region, they risked being discovered and wiped out at any moment...

"That’s unnecessary."

Christian Clark said blandly, "Today, since you ’Black and White Duo’ have surfaced... well, you won’t be leaving!"

As he spoke, the cold gleam in Christian Clark’s eyes grew sharper.

"Such bold words!"

As the saying goes, "even a clay figurine has three parts fire", upon hearing Christian’s words, the black-robed elder’s face changed, speaking deeply, "Of the three with you, only you are a ’Purple Sun Golden Immortal’... In an actual confrontation, your trio may not be our match."

"If you insist on going your own way... Don’t blame us for disregarding the County Governor’s Mansion and eliminating the three of you!"

"At most... After killing you three, we’ll leave Nine Nether County!"
