Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2614: Crystal Clear Profound Secret

When Wyatt Barnes returned to the Black Dragon Army camp once more, along the way, he heard the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army discussing him.

The content of their discussions was nothing more than what he did today at the ’Phoenix Arrival Wine House’ in Bloodshade City...

More of the Black Dragon Army soldiers were worried about his safety, thinking that the leader of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, Eren Maxwell, would not easily let him go.

"Eren Maxwell? Won’t let me go? He had better have the guts!"

Wyatt Barnes shook his head with a smile and returned to his tent.

Although Wyatt knew that the reason why those Black Dragon Army soldiers were worried about his safety was entirely because of his displayed strength, which would be enough to help the Black Dragon Army overpower the Army of Silver Sea Dragon in the future...

To put it bluntly, he was ’valuable’ to the Black Dragon Army.

Yet, a surge of warmth still rose in his heart.

""Crystal Clear Profound Secret"..."

After returning to his tent, Wyatt Barnes took out a jade slip, which was precisely the Earth Rank cultivation technique recorded by Eren Maxwell of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon under his coercion.

The jade slip contained the entire content of the "Crystal Clear Profound Secret", and as long as Wyatt spent some time, he could fully master it.

"A cultivation technique at the Earth Rank on the other planes... it’s truly something to look forward to."

Taking a deep breath, slightly calming the excitement in his heart, Wyatt Barnes also began to cultivate according to the content recorded in the jade slip.

Because the cultivation method he practiced before was always the Nine Dragons War Sovereign, now switching to the Crystal Clear Profound Secret also required some time to adapt so that the route of the Immortal Origin within his body could be changed and solidified.

After closing his eyes, Wyatt Barnes began to immerse himself in the cultivation of the Crystal Clear Profound Secret, concentrating entirely, oblivious to everything outside the window...

"Centurion Wyatt Barnes."

Just as he was deep in cultivation, Wyatt Barnes’s ears caught the voice of Tadeo Holland, the leader of the Black Dragon Army, "I heard about what you did today at the Phoenix Arrival Wine House in Bloodshade City... you did go a bit too far."

"Do you think... we should discuss how to handle Eren Maxwell’s wrath?"

"With his personality, he will surely take this matter to the City Lord."

Tadeo Holland said.

Fully engrossed in cultivating the Crystal Clear Profound Secret, Wyatt Barnes, having just found a bit of rhythm, was suddenly interrupted by Tadeo Holland, and when he abruptly opened his eyes, a trace of impatience appeared on his face.

"Leader, I am at a critical moment in my cultivation... before Eren Maxwell comes knocking, please do not disturb my cultivation."

Wyatt Barnes said, somewhat impatiently.

His voice reached outside the tent, rendering Tadeo Holland, standing beside it, momentarily speechless, and it took him a while to come back to his senses...

Wyatt Barnes’s impatience gave him a feeling of ’the emperor is not anxious, the eunuch is anxious’, leaving him somewhat at a loss for words.

"This Centurion Wyatt Barnes is truly..."

Although a bit at a loss for words, since Wyatt Barnes outrightly stated that he was at a crucial moment in his cultivation, Tadeo Holland didn’t disturb him further.

"However... logically, Eren Maxwell should have already arrived by now..."

Upon second thought, Tadeo Holland felt something was amiss, "Could it be... that Eren Maxwell didn’t come to our Black Dragon Army camp first, but went to the City Lord’s Main Mansion first?"

What Tadeo Holland couldn’t have imagined in his wildest dreams was:

Eren Maxwell had just been defeated by Wyatt Barnes and was even coerced into handing over the Earth Rank cultivation technique taught by the City Lord of Bloodshade City. It was impossible for him to trouble Wyatt Barnes for the time being.

Army of Silver Sea Dragon camp.

"Brother... why are you back so soon?"

As Eren Maxwell just returned to his own tent, Jaylani Maxwell, who was waiting inside for news, greeted him immediately, "So, how did it go? That centurion of the Black Dragon Army, Wyatt Barnes... did you capture him, brother?"

By the end of the question, a look of anticipation flashed across Jaylani Maxwell’s eyes, which were squished very small by fat.

Upon hearing Jaylani Maxwell mention that centurion of the Black Dragon Army, Wyatt Barnes, Eren Maxwell’s face instantly turned dark, and a flicker of hatred flashed in his eyes...

"Brother... what’s wrong with you?"

At this moment, Jaylani Maxwell also noticed something was wrong with Eren Maxwell.

"Do you know who I encountered just after leaving the Army of Silver Sea Dragon camp and before reaching Bloodshade City?"

Eren Maxwell looked at Jaylani Maxwell.

"Who?"

Jaylani Maxwell was taken aback.

She knew her brother wouldn’t mention this for no reason at this time.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

A gleam of coldness flashed in Eren Maxwell’s eyes as he said, "He... specifically blocked me on the only way from our Army of Silver Sea Dragon camp to Bloodshade City and the Black Dragon Army camp!"

"What?!"

Jaylani Maxwell was shocked, "That Wyatt Barnes specifically blocked you, brother? Is he courting death?"

"Courting death?"

Eren Maxwell shook his head and laughed self-mockingly, "Jaylani, your brother here... almost couldn’t make it back..."

"Did he... find some help? Was it the leader of the Black Dragon Army, Tadeo Holland?"

Jaylani Maxwell’s face changed dramatically.

"No help."

Eren Maxwell shook his head again, a look of fear flashing in his eyes, "Just him alone... If he didn’t have that mysterious technique that can seize others’ Immortal Artifacts, my strength would surpass his."

"But, when he unleashed that technique and seized my Immortal Artifact, my strength ended up slightly inferior to his."

"You should know... At my level of confrontation, a slight difference in strength is enough to determine victory or defeat!"

As he spoke, Eren Maxwell smiled bitterly.

"What?!"

"He... his strength... is even stronger than yours, brother?"

Jaylani Maxwell’s large and obese body shook violently, a look of shock and disbelief appearing on his face, while he continuously shook his fat head, somewhat unwilling to accept this reality.

"Yes."

Eren Maxwell nodded.

"Even you are not his match... Does it mean that this matter will just be left like this?"

Jaylani Maxwell found it completely unacceptable.

Soon, as if remembering something, his eyes flashed sharply and looked at Eren Maxwell, saying, "Brother, you just said that his strength only slightly surpasses yours... In that case, his strength certainly cannot match our City Lord’s of Bloodshade City."

"Brother... you should go ask the City Lord to settle the matter! I refuse to believe... that he can do as he pleases in front of the City Lord!"

As he spoke, Jaylani Maxwell’s face showed a fierce expression, and the sharpness in his eyes became increasingly intense.

"No!"

Eren Maxwell rejected Jaylani Maxwell’s suggestion.

"Why?"

Jaylani Maxwell’s expression changed rapidly, and in an instant, the fierce look on his face disappeared, replaced by a sorrowful look, "Brother... Is this matter just going to be left unresolved? Brother, I’m not reconciled! I’m not reconciled!!"

"Jaylani, I understand your feelings, but I really can’t go to the City Lord... If I go, and Wyatt Barnes exposes that I taught him the Earth Rank cultivation method, I’m finished!"

Eren Maxwell smiled bitterly and said, "You should know, rashly teaching that Earth Rank cultivation method to others... is a capital offense!"

"Brother... How could you teach him that method?"

Jaylani Maxwell’s expression changed again.

"I was forced... He said that if I didn’t teach him that method, he would kill me."

Eren Maxwell said, "He himself is quite ’brazen’... He said that at most, after killing me, he would leave Bloodshade City, leave Nine Nether County. After all, he is only an ascender who flew up to Spiritual Heaven half a month ago, with no ties or attachments..."

"He has such advanced Immortal Method and Divine Ability... How could he lack a ranked cultivation method?"

Jaylani Maxwell couldn’t understand why Wyatt Barnes would want that method from her brother.

"I also think he surely has a ranked cultivation method, perhaps even better than the Crystal Clear Profound Secret... Maybe, he made me teach him that method as a ’ploy’ to coerce me, preventing me from going to the City Lord about this matter."

Eren Maxwell speculated and the more he thought about it, the more he felt his guess was right.

"Brother... I’m still not reconciled..."

Although Jaylani Maxwell still said this, his voice had weakened a bit.

Because he knew too well, in the current situation, wanting to avenge her husband was practically as difficult as climbing to the heavens!

"Jaylani, I know you’re not reconciled, and I feel the same! Just bear with it for now... I’ll look for an opportunity later, and see if I can borrow someone’s ’knife’ to get rid of him!"

Eren Maxwell first comforted Jaylani Maxwell, and as he spoke, besides an unwilling expression, a cold killing intent also appeared in his eyes.

...

Whether it was people from Bloodshade City or those at the Black Dragon Army camp, they all felt that the Army of Silver Sea Dragon leader ’Eren Maxwell’ would definitely not let the matter of his brother-in-law being crippled by the Black Dragon Army Centurion ’Wyatt Barnes’ rest easily.

The people at the Black Dragon Army camp were mostly worried about Wyatt Barnes’s safety.

People from Bloodshade City were more entertained, waiting for the show.

However, as the days went by, the Army of Silver Sea Dragon’s camp was quiet as if nothing had happened...

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

A month ago, the matter of Black Dragon Army Centurion ’Wyatt Barnes’ forcefully crippling Army of Silver Sea Dragon Centurion ’Noel Yorke’ seemed to have completely faded away.

"What’s going on?"

"This is not the style of Eren Maxwell from the Army of Silver Sea Dragon!"

"Could Eren Maxwell be in seclusion? Otherwise, how could he remain so calm after what happened a month ago!"

...

Bloodshade City was filled with similar comments.

Bloodshade City, Main Mansion.

In the grand hall.

"Eren, they’re all saying outside that you’re in seclusion... But I know, even if you’re in seclusion, as soon as your sister has a problem, you’ll come out immediately to relieve her!"

Bloodshade City Lord ’Manuel Willow’ looked at the Army of Silver Sea Dragon leader ’Eren Maxwell’ sitting beneath, his words clearly indicating he understood Eren Maxwell well.

Eren Maxwell heard this, but didn’t respond; he only smiled awkwardly.

"Are you here today merely to deliver the Immortal Stones that your Army of Silver Sea Dragon mined this month?"

Manuel Willow asked again.
