The sky above the Dragonsmith Clan’s territory, amidst the vast mountains.

A young man in purple robes stood in mid-air, his gaze indifferent as he looked down below.

That was the location of the Dragonsmith Clan’s territory.

"Brother Augustine... today, I will avenge you!"

Suddenly, the young man in purple spoke in a low voice, his previously indifferent gaze becoming incredibly sharp in an instant, as if it could pierce through everything!

This young man in purple was none other than ’Wyatt Barnes’, who had just barged into the Dragonsmith Clan’s territory.

Destroy the Dragonsmith Clan!

This was what he had just said, and it was not an empty threat.

If the Dragonsmith Clan did not hand over the mastermind behind the deaths of Augustine Landon and Case Moon, he would destroy the entire Dragonsmith Clan today to avenge Augustine, Case, and the master of Karina Hanson!

Originally, when he had just returned, he thought about simply destroying the Dragonsmith Clan without a word.

After all, he had the ability to do so now.

Even if he was slightly lacking, there was still Keer...

If Keer made a move, let alone one Dragonsmith Clan, even ten or eight would not be enough!

However, thinking about the existence of the Dragonsmith Clan, which had at least restrained the Demon Race and contributed greatly to the Holy Domain Plane, he decided to only eliminate the mastermind behind Augustine and Case’s deaths.

As long as the Dragonsmith Clan did not oppose him and the Seven Terminating Sect in the future, he would let bygones be bygones!

Of course, all of this was on the premise that the Dragonsmith Clan was willing to cooperate.

If the Dragonsmith Clan was unwilling to cooperate, he would have no mercy and would directly destroy them!

"There is no Scattered Immortal in the Dragonsmith Clan who has cultivated the ’Soul Gathering Body’.

Wyatt had already learned this from Amiri Holland, otherwise, he would not have come alone today.

After all, if the Dragonsmith Clan had an existence above a Three Tribulations Scattered Immortal who had cultivated the ’Soul Gathering Body’, his coming here would put him at a disadvantage, possibly even resulting in his demise before accomplishing his mission!

Because he knew this, he dared to make such a statement after entering the Dragonsmith Clan:

If the Dragonsmith Clan did not hand over the mastermind behind Augustine and Case’s deaths, he, Wyatt Barnes, would destroy the Dragonsmith Clan!!

"Of course, even if the Dragonsmith Clan has a Scattered Immortal who has cultivated the ’Soul Gathering Body’, it doesn’t matter... as long as I have Keer with me, even if it’s a Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal’s soul attack, it won’t hit me."

"Keer’s current cultivation is comparable to a ’Golden Immortal’ in the Heavenly Plane... and her soul level is also the same, comparable to a ’Golden Immortal’ in the Heavenly Plane."

"With Keer’s soul level, even a soul attack from a Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal could be easily blocked by her!"

Thinking of Keer, Wyatt felt more assured.

In fact, before entering the ’Outer Heaven Secret Realm’ this time, Wyatt had never dreamed he would one day rely on Keer in this regard...

But, it must be said, the powerful strength Keer now possessed gave him greater ’confidence’!

"If the Dragonsmith Clan is really that clueless this time, then let them be destroyed!"

"With my and Keer’s strength, even without the Dragonsmith Clan, the Holy Domain Plane need no longer fear the ’Demon Race’ from the Exiled Lands!"

With this thought, Wyatt’s eyes shone brightly, while he awaited the ’response’ from the Dragonsmith Clan.

Wyatt stood in mid-air above the Dragonsmith Clan’s territory, surrounded by serene clouds.

Meanwhile, inside the Dragonsmith Clan’s territory, a tumult broke out.

"Destroy the Dragonsmith Clan... someone actually claims they will destroy our Dragonsmith Clan!"

"In the long history of our Dragonsmith Clan, it seems no one has ever dared claim they would destroy us, right? This Sect Leader of the Seven Terminating Sect, ’Wyatt Barnes’, has really gone mad!"

"Hmph! In the past few years, since the Demon Race invaded the Upper Domain, there hasn’t been any news of Wyatt Barnes... years later, he reappears, not only at our Dragonsmith Clan’s territory but even threatens us, claiming he will destroy us if we don’t hand someone over! He’s really got some nerve!"

"Now, surely the Clan Chief and the Supreme Elders have heard what Wyatt Barnes said, right?"

"Hmph! As long as the Clan Chief or a few Supreme Elders make a move... Wyatt Barnes is sure to die!"

...

Similar sentiments spread throughout the Dragonsmith Clan’s grounds.

All members of the Dragonsmith Clan believed Wyatt Barnes did not possess the strength to destroy them, thinking his arrival was purely a death wish!

Somewhere within the Dragonsmith Clan’s territory.

"Back then, it was me who personally killed Augustine... however, I was acting under the command of our Dragonsmith Clan’s Supreme Elder ’Emperor Henmingway’. By the sound of Wyatt Barnes’ words, he really expects us to hand over Emperor Henmingway?"

Upon hearing the threatening words from the sky, a middle-aged man, who had been meditating midway up a mountain, suddenly opened his eyes, a smirk of disdain appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Elsewhere.

"Expecting us to hand over Emperor Henmingway? Such wishful thinking!"

"They don’t even consider... even if we did hand over Emperor Henmingway, could he really be a match for Emperor Henmingway? Could he kill Emperor Henmingway to avenge his Seven Terminating Sect members?"

The two Dragonsmith Clan members who killed Case Moon and Karina Hanson’s master, under the order of the Dragonsmith Clan’s Supreme Elder ’Emperor Henmingway’, spoke with sarcastic smiles, exuding deep disdain.

Emperor Henmingway, the Dragonsmith Clan’s Supreme Elder.

He was also the father of the Dragonsmith Clan Elder ’Emperor Eli’, who once became obsessed because of Wyatt Barnes and ultimately failed his tribulation.

Back then, Wyatt Barnes used his enemy’s tactics against him, forcing Emperor Eli to kneel and beg for mercy, and this caused Emperor Eli, who was about to face the ’Tribulation of the Scattered Immortal,’ to harbor a persistent thought, leading to his failure in the tribulation.

This also made Emperor Eli’s father, Elder Henmingway of the Dragonsmith Clan, see Wyatt Barnes as a mortal enemy, wishing nothing more than to tear him to shreds and scatter his ashes!

After learning that Wyatt Barnes was the current Sect Leader of the Seven Terminating Sect, Elder Henmingway vented his anger on the sect members, ordering a hunt for them...

It was then that Augustine Landon, Case Moon, and Karina Hanson’s mentor were killed.

At the Dragonsmith Clan’s site, within a vast valley.

Bang!!

With a loud explosion spreading, the calm surface of the lake within the valley suddenly burst open, splashing water everywhere, looking exceptionally splendid.

Whoosh!!

At the same time, a figure shot out from the lake like a rapid cannonball, heading straight into the sky.

Moments later, another figure appeared above the valley.

Now, any random Scattered Immortal from the Dragonsmith Clan here could instantly recognize:

The owner of this figure was indeed one of the three esteemed elders of the Dragonsmith Clan — Elder Henmingway.

"Wyatt Barnes... you actually delivered yourself to my doorstep! Good! Very good!!"

Elder Henmingway had been quietly cultivating at the bottom of the lake, but Wyatt Barnes’ voice descending from above was clear as it reached the lake and his ears, swiftly waking him and making him as energized as if he had taken a shot of adrenaline.

These past years, he had never stopped searching for Wyatt Barnes’ whereabouts.

Even after the Demon Race invaded the Upper Domain, he was still single-mindedly determined to find Wyatt Barnes.

Because he wanted to avenge his son!

He realized that his son’s death, to some extent, had also become his own ’persistent thought.’

If Wyatt Barnes did not die, when his eighth ’Tribulation of the Scattered Immortal’ descended, he would surely die without exception!

For this reason, he never paid any attention to the Demon Race’s invasion; he only wanted to find Wyatt Barnes, avenge his son, and eliminate his own ’persistent thought,’ allowing him to face the eighth ’Tribulation of the Scattered Immortal’ more smoothly.

To him, the slaughter of humans and residents of the Holy Domain Plane by the Demon Race was not greatly concerning.

Only his own matters were most important.

Unless one day the Demon Race stands before him, wanting to kill him, then he would truly exert his efforts to deal with them...

Even now, when their clan chief dispatched him to confront the Demon Race, he only dealt with it as necessary, with little interest...

And now, upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ voice and knowing Wyatt Barnes had delivered himself, how could he not be exhilarated?

Even in quiet cultivation, he awoke immediately.

"Annihilate my Dragonsmith Clan?"

"Humph! I’d like to see where you, Wyatt Barnes, get the nerve to utter such wild words!!"

Recalling Wyatt Barnes’s earlier boastful claim, Elder Henmingway’s eyelids drooped, and his lips curled into a deeply contemptuous, cold smile.

The next moment.

Bang!!

As Elder Henmingway’s legs trembled the void, the space immediately shattered, with ghastly and frightening void cracks appearing in the space.

These void cracks intertwined as if forming a massive spiderweb in the void.

Whoosh!!

Simultaneously, Elder Henmingway soared into the sky, stirring up a fierce wind as he swept toward the source of the voice from the horizon.

"Wyatt Barnes!!"

"Your Seven Terminating Sect members were all killed by me, Henmingway... Today, I, Henmingway, want to see where you get the courage to claim you will annihilate my Dragonsmith Clan!!"

"Today, I, Henmingway, an esteemed elder of the Dragonsmith Clan, shall cut you down within the Dragonsmith territory, to enlighten the world... that the majesty of my Dragonsmith Clan shall not be desecrated by anyone!!"

As Elder Henmingway soared into the sky, piercing through the clouds above, heading towards where Wyatt Barnes was,

His voice like a resonant bell spread aptly, echoing throughout the Dragonsmith territory.

Instantly causing a stir among the entire Dragonsmith Clan.

"It’s Elder Henmingway!"

"Elder Henmingway is personally taking action!"

"Let’s go! Watch the spectacle... I want to see how many moves Sect Leader Wyatt Barnes, who dares to claim he will annihilate us, can withstand against Elder Henmingway!"

"Humph! Elder Henmingway is one of our Dragonsmith Clan’s esteemed elders and a Seven Tribulations Loose Immortal... that Wyatt Barnes probably can’t even take a single move from Elder Henmingway."

"I think so too."

...

Throughout the Dragonsmith territory, the members, initially infuriated by Wyatt Barnes’ arrogant speech, now became exuberant as Elder Henmingway’s voice resonated through the Dragonsmith territory.

As if injected with adrenaline.
