Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 2288: Cornered Beast

"Giant Spirit Palace Master?"

Upon hearing Alvaro Jones’s exclamation, Paisley Flores’s eyes suddenly lit up.

She was knowledgeable about the nine great forces of the Human Demon Clan, including the three palaces and six institutes, and knew that the Giant Spirit Palace was a force on par with the Sacred Wander Palace, and their palace masters were similarly powerful.

Now, hearing the tone of this Giant Spirit Palace Master, it was evident that he came with ill intentions!

If the giant spirit palace master and the sacred wander palace master ended up fighting, they would have ample time to figure out a way to awaken Wyatt Barnes, who was still cultivating!

However, while the idea was beautiful, reality was cruel...

"The Giant Spirit Palace Master, Archer Stone, is here most likely for the master..."

Alvaro Jones shook his head.

After learning of the enmity between the Giant Spirit Palace Master Archer Stone and the Mansion of Azure Clouds, Paisley Flores’s face grew increasingly grim.

One Sacred Wander Palace Master was already overwhelming for them.

And now, a Giant Spirit Palace Master was here too?

Outside the mansion, in the void.

Whoosh!

As if a breeze had passed by, a figure seemed to appear out of thin air in front of Sean Cloud and several other deputy palace masters of the Sacred Wander Palace.

This was a tall and stout middle-aged man, at least two meters high, wearing a gold robe, his long hair carelessly tied back and draped over his back, with a firm face and a naturally imposing aura.

"Is the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds in this mansion?"

After appearing, the gold-robed middle-aged man didn’t even cast a look at Sean Cloud and the others, his eyes immediately fell on the mansion ahead.

In the depths of his gaze, a murderous intent flashed!

"Palace Master Stone!"

Sean Cloud looked at the gold-robed middle-aged man with a difficult expression and said in a deep voice, "You barged into our Sacred Wander Palace uninvited and without warning... isn’t that a bit inappropriate?"

"Inappropriate? Let your master be the judge of that!"

The gold-robed middle-aged man, who was none other than the Giant Spirit Palace Master Archer Stone, swept Sean Cloud with an indifferent glance.

"Palace Master Stone, don’t say you don’t know that my master is in seclusion!"

Sean Cloud’s face grew even more unsightly.

He knew very well:

Archer Stone dared to recklessly intrude on the Sacred Wander Palace’s territory, he must have discovered that his master was in seclusion!

"I understand your hatred for the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds... But don’t forget, this is the Sacred Wander Palace, not the Giant Spirit Palace!"

"And now the ’identity’ of that Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds is as a deputy palace master of our Sacred Wander Palace, even if he must be killed, it should be my master who personally cleans up the house, it’s not your place to interfere, Palace Master Stone!"

Sean Cloud grew more severe toward the end of his words.

What a joke!

Though he didn’t care whose hands the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds perished by.

However, if Archer Stone killed the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds today, others would only think they, the Sacred Wander Palace, were incompetent, incapable of even dealing with an ’internal traitor’.

The reputation of the Sacred Wander Palace was at stake, he naturally did not want the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds to die by the hands of the Giant Spirit Palace Master.

"Since the Palace Master Johnson is in seclusion, I will naturally not disturb him... In the future, once he’s out of seclusion, I will personally apologize to him!"

Archer Stone continued to speak indifferently.

As he finished speaking, his aura fluctuated, causing the void to pause momentarily.

Simultaneously, his gaze turned cold, fixed on the mansion ahead, where the person he wished to kill was!

"Lanni Barnes, you escaped that day... Today, I will kill your son to avenge my disciple!"

On Archer Stone’s body, murder intent soared to the sky!

"Palace Master Stone, my master’s current seclusion will lead to a celestial tribulation in at most a year, breaking through to the ’half-step immortal’ level... So I advise you to think carefully before taking action."

Just as Archer Stone was preparing to storm into the mansion and kill Wyatt Barnes, Sean Cloud’s warning voice came in a timely manner.

Almost as soon as Sean Cloud’s words fell.

Swish!

Archer Stone’s face changed dramatically, the killing aura on his body dissipated quite a bit.

"Palace Master Johnson... has found that ’opportunity’?"

Archer Stone’s gaze flashed like lightning toward Sean Cloud, his face showing a trace of apprehension as he asked.

A Sacred Wander Palace Master who hadn’t achieved half-step immortal status might be slightly lesser than him, but not something he feared;

However, a Sacred Wander Palace Master at the half-step immortal level was something he had to fear!

The former was unlikely to kill him...

The latter could kill him as easily as slaughtering a chicken!

"Hmph!"

Facing Archer Stone’s inquiry, Sean Cloud merely snorted coldly, seemingly unwilling to even explain further.

For a moment, Archer Stone’s face turned green and then pale, but in the end, he didn’t rush into the mansion ahead.

"Since Palace Master Johnson will be out of seclusion in a year, I will give him face... As long as the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds doesn’t escape while he’s in your Sacred Wander Palace, I won’t harm him. When Palace Master Johnson comes out of seclusion, I will watch him clean house himself!"

Moments later, Archer Stone made a ’compromise.’

Although he could now disrupt the Sacred Wander Palace’s Palace Master’s closed cultivation, he did not dare to do so.

Because even if he interrupted the Palace Master of Sacred Wander Palace, thus preventing them from advancing to a half-step immortal level in the short term, with the Palace Master’s strength slightly superior to his, there was still an eighty to ninety percent chance they would step into the half-step immortal level before him!

If he disrupted the Palace Master’s training this time, it would mean thoroughly offending the other party and earning a mortal enemy...

In the future, when the Palace Master of Sacred Wander Palace reaches the half-step immortal level first, they will undoubtedly target him!

"However... if Wyatt Barnes tries to escape before Palace Master Johnson emerges from closed cultivation, and your Sacred Wander Palace lacks the ability to stop him, then don’t blame me for taking action!"

Meanwhile, Archer Stone coldly added.

"As long as Wyatt Barnes leaves the Sacred Wander Palace’s premises, you, Palace Master Stone, can deal with him as you wish!"

Sean Cloud said.

In fact, he also worried about Wyatt Barnes escaping before his master emerges from closed cultivation.

By then, if his master doesn’t exit closed cultivation, who can stop Wyatt Barnes?

"As long as you have said it, that’s enough."

Archer Stone responded indifferently and then surprisingly sat cross-legged in the void, closing his eyes as if prepared to wait for a year!

Sean Cloud, however, was unsurprised by this.

If he were Archer Stone, he would do the same... would not stop until the Junior House Master of Mansion of Azure Clouds is dead!

Following the Palace Master of Giant Spirit Palace, Archer Stone, numerous individuals from other palaces and institutes, including the Crimson Flame Palace, subsequently visited Sacred Wander Palace.

Their target was likewise the Junior House Master of Mansion of Azure Clouds, who was discussed feverishly throughout Holy City today.

"I never expected that the new Deputy Palace Master of Sacred Wander Palace is actually the Junior House Master of the human forces Mansion of Azure Clouds!"

"Regardless of whether it was expected or not... this time, he is bound to die!"

"It’s said the news initially spread within the Sacred Wander Palace’s premises... really don’t understand why he didn’t escape when he had the chance at that time? Isn’t this courting death?"

"Although the Palace Master of Sacred Wander Palace is currently in closed cultivation, and no one within can handle him... yet, the Palace Master of Giant Spirit Palace, Archer Stone, stands guard outside his residence, and if he dares to step out of the Sacred Wander Palace, he’s undeniably dead!"

"Leaving Sacred Wander Palace means certain death for him... and not leaving Sacred Wander Palace means certain death once Palace Master Johnson emerges from closed cultivation!"

...

Similar statements constantly unfold in the two other palaces and six institutes besides the Sacred Wander Palace.

Inside Sacred Wander Palace, there was also much commotion:

"Initially, I was delighted that our Sacred Wander Palace gained another Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation level powerhouse... but unexpectedly, he’s actually a human! And also the Junior House Master of Mansion of Azure Clouds!"

"A human who not only killed our Sacred Wander Palace’s elder but infiltrated as a ’mole,’ deserves death!"

"Don’t worry... once the Palace Master is out of closed cultivation, he is sure to die!"

"In other words... even if he escapes before the Palace Master’s emergence, he cannot survive! Archer Stone of Giant Spirit Palace stands guard outside his residence, and if he dares to flee from Sacred Wander Palace, he’s undeniably dead!"

...

However, most people in Sacred Wander Palace, although knowing that their Palace Master is in closed cultivation, do not know nearly all chances point to their Palace Master breaking through to the ’half-step immortal’ level during this closed cultivation.

Otherwise, the Sacred Wander Palace would undoubtedly be even more bustling now!

Outside the residence of Wyatt Barnes, initially, apart from Sacred Wander Palace’s people, there was only the Palace Master of Giant Spirit Palace, Archer Stone, an outsider guarding there.

However, a few days later, not only did more people from the Giant Spirit Palace arrive to stand guard there...

Even from one palace and six institutes, including Crimson Flame Palace, sent some to stand guard there.

Of course, people from one palace and six institutes standing guard there were purely for the spectacle.

Because they knew they had no chance to make a move!

Within the Sacred Wander Palace’s premises, there was Palace Master Johnson.

Outside the Sacred Wander Palace’s premises, there was Archer Stone of Giant Spirit Palace.

Now, they unanimously believed:

The Junior House Master of Mansion of Azure Clouds, Wyatt Barnes, had no way to heaven, no door to earth, destined to die!

"It’s over... it’s over..."

Inside the residence of Wyatt Barnes, Alvaro Jones, who somewhat grasped the situation outside, displayed a desolate face, feeling as if the heaven and earth had darkened, akin to the arrival of an apocalypse.

At present, the residence of Wyatt Barnes seemed isolated.

No one outside could enter.

No one inside could leave.

"He actually didn’t leave?!"

When Angelo Yellow, the closed door disciple of Sacred Wander Palace’s Palace Master, learned of the situation here, her eyebrows could not help but slightly furrow, and her supremely beautiful cheeks involuntarily displayed a trace of pity.

But, she also knew, given the circumstances, even if she wished to help that man, she was powerless...

She had done all she could.

"Even if my master exits closed cultivation a year later, I plead for him not to kill you... you still eventually cannot escape the clutches of Archer Stone of Giant Spirit Palace!"

Angelo Yellow sighed helplessly whispering to herself.

As for Wyatt Barnes, still deeply engrossed in his seemingly endless cultivation, unaware that he had already become a ’trapped beast’!
