Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 2385: Two ‘Disastrous News’!

"I never expected, never expected... Before, when I heard that there were ’Scattered Immortals’ in the world, I wondered if our Dragonsmith Clan might have some as well. I didn’t expect there really to be!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Our clan’s Scattered Immortal is a ’Five Tribulations Loose Immortal’!"

"But then, why, upon knowing our clan has a Five Tribulations Loose Immortal, do I feel not the slightest bit happy?"

"Our Dragonsmith Clan’s Five Tribulations Loose Immortal was forced to kneel, kowtow, and beg for mercy by the Sect Leader of the Seven Terminating Sect... Any person with a bit of blood in our clan, who can not be angry, who can find happiness in this?"

...

Within the Dragonsmith Clan, many members engaged in heated discussions, surprised at the existence of a ’Scattered Immortal’ in their clan, and furious at the Sect Leader of the Seven Terminating Sect, Wyatt Barnes, for forcing their clan’s Scattered Immortal to kneel and beg!

The reason these clan members were previously unaware of the existence of ’Scattered Immortals’ was because:

The ’Dragonsmith Clan’ in the Upper Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land is divided into the outer clan and inner clan.

The outer clan encompasses all existence below ’Half-step Immortals’ within the Dragonsmith Clan. Among these, only a handful of senior figures knew about the existence of ’Scattered Immortals’ and knew that their Dragonsmith Clan also had quite a few Scattered Immortals.

But they didn’t know:

The Scattered Immortals of their Dragonsmith Clan are divided into two categories. One category belongs to their clan, while the other originates from the three major sects, forcibly brought back to the Dragonsmith Clan by their powerful Scattered Immortals, kept almost imprisoned in the clan.

The Dragonsmith Clan’s base is divided into three areas: one where the outer clan operates, another for the inner clan, and the last where the group of Scattered Immortals from the three major sects operates.

This can also be seen as:

The Dragonsmith Clan’s inner clan includes a group of Scattered Immortals.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Dragonsmith Clan only has one ’Clan Chief.’

But in reality, there are two Clan Chiefs: one for the outer clan, which outsiders are aware of, generally a ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’; and another for the inner clan, governing the clan’s Scattered Immortals, holding a revered status — the true Clan Chief!

The Inner Clan Chief of the Dragonsmith Clan always symbolizes the clan’s greatest martial strength, without exception in every generation.

In this world, respect is given to the strong, and so it is with the Dragonsmith Clan. Only the most powerful Scattered Immortal within the clan will earn the support of the clan’s Scattered Immortals to become the Inner Clan’s ’Clan Chief’!

"Emperor Eli... actually knelt and begged for forgiveness before that Wyatt Barnes?"

"It’s a complete disgrace to our Dragonsmith Clan!"

"So spineless!"

...

As news from the outside reached the Dragonsmith Clan, the outer clan was shaken, and even the inner clan was equally disturbed!

The group of Scattered Immortals within the Dragonsmith Clan’s inner clan, upon learning of Emperor Eli’s spineless behavior, secretly criticized him:

"If Emperor Eli chose to die with dignity, he could have gained a good reputation... But being cowardly and fearing death, he is going to leave an everlasting stink!"

"Emperor Eli, as a royal seven-clawed golden dragon of our Dragonsmith Clan, actually did such a thing... not only disgracing himself but also bringing shame to our clan!"

"If it were him, he’d be better off bashing his head to death, where would he find the courage to come back!"

"Shh... quiet down! If the Grand Elder hears, you’ll have it coming!"

...

In the midst of the Dragonsmith Clan’s inner clan’s group of Scattered Immortals’ secret discussions, when Emperor Eli’s father, who was also their inner clan’s Grand Elder, got mentioned, everyone went silent.

Within their inner clan, there are only three Grand Elders.

Besides the Clan Chief of their inner clan, the strongest are these three Grand Elders.

And within the inner clan, the Grand Elder holds significant power, even having the authority to execute one or two Scattered Immortals of the inner clan without reporting to the Clan Chief...

Therefore, upon hearing Emperor Eli’s father and one of the Grand Elders being mentioned, everyone went silent.

In a fragrant valley of the Dragonsmith Clan’s inner territories, there sat a vast courtyard.

This place was the residence of the seven-clawed Divine Dragon, Emperor Eli.

Currently, within a spacious room at the back of this courtyard, one person sits cross-legged on the bed, while another stands before the bed, gloomily looking at the former, lost in thought...

The one sitting cross-legged on the bed is ’Emperor Eli’!

As for the one standing at the bed’s front, he is a burly and tall middle-aged man, sharing a six to seven-part resemblance with Emperor Eli, especially their facial contour, almost as if sculpted from the same mold.

If any other member of the Dragonsmith Clan’s inner clan were present, they would instantly recognize:

This middle-aged man is their inner clan’s Grand Elder, Emperor Henmingway!

Also, he is Emperor Eli’s father.

"Father, it’s no use... I can’t do it..."

Suddenly, Emperor Eli, sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes, face pale, looking at the brooding Emperor Henmingway standing at the bed’s front, speaking with unwillingness:

"That ’obsession’... I really can’t suppress it!"

"Perhaps, only when Wyatt Barnes dies... will my ’obsession’ be resolved!"

As he spoke, Emperor Eli’s tone lowered, his eyes emitting an extremely cold gleam...

"Wyatt Barnes!"

Upon hearing Emperor Eli’s words, a flash of murderous intent appeared in Emperor Henmingway’s eyes, his aura sweeping through the room causing all furnishings to tremble...

"Father, kill him for me! I want him dead! I want him dead!!"

Emperor Eli looked at Emperor Henmingway and growled softly, his eyes filled with expectation and nothing but desire...

Wyatt Barnes lives, and he cannot rest easy, his obsession cannot be dispelled!

Emperor Henmingway’s eyes flickered a few times, and then he said with some hesitation, "Jaxx, Father knows you wish you could grind Wyatt Barnes’s bones to dust... but, years ago, the Clan Chief had Elder Esteban investigate whether Wyatt is a Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal."

"Father wishes to kill him to ease the hatred in your heart! But, if I rashly take action to kill him, I fear that the Clan Chief..."

Emperor Henmingway didn’t continue, because he knew his son understood his meaning.

"Father!"

Hearing Emperor Henmingway’s words, Emperor Eli grew anxious, "Half a year... I only have half a year left! After half a year, my ’Scattered Immortal Tribulation’ will descend, and if my obsession isn’t resolved by then, I’ll definitely die, definitely die!!"

"Could it be... Father, are you going to watch me fall to the ’Scattered Immortal Tribulation’ because my obsession hasn’t been resolved?"

Emperor Eli’s face was full of unwillingness, and then a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes as he continued:

"As for the Clan Chief, there’s no confirmation that Wyatt is a ’Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal’... whether he is or not, as long as you first kill him and destroy the evidence, even if the Clan Chief knows it was you, he won’t be able to do anything to you!"

"Moreover, you killing him is justified. Even the Clan Chief has no reason to stop you!"

Emperor Eli continued.

After hearing Emperor Eli’s words, Emperor Henmingway’s eyes immediately brightened, like two brilliant stars in the night sky, shining brightly...

Indeed.

His son was right!

Currently, their Clan Chief hasn’t confirmed if Wyatt is a Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal.

If he first kills him and destroys the evidence, even if their Dragonsmith Clan finds out later, they can’t do anything to him...

Moreover, acting for his son, it’s a legitimate reason!

"Being involved makes one confused, being involved makes one confused..."

At this moment, Emperor Henmingway also realized that the reason he hesitated was largely because the Clan Chief’s ’authority’ was constantly affecting him.

Although he was a ’Seven Tribulations Loose Immortal’, one of the top powerhouses in the Dragonsmith Clan, with strength not below the other two supreme elders, compared to the Clan Chief, he was nothing...

The Clan Chief could kill him as easily as stepping on an ant!

Because of this, subconsciously he didn’t dare have any thoughts of opposing the Clan Chief...

After all, going to kill Wyatt Barnes, to a certain extent, also goes against the Clan Chief’s ’will’!

"Jaxx, your father will now leave the Dragonsmith Clan to find Wyatt Barnes and kill him to avenge you!"

Emperor Henmingway looked at Emperor Eli, his eyes filled with doting affection and said.

"Father!"

Emperor Eli’s eyes suddenly brightened, and while happy, he didn’t forget to remind, "Father, when Wyatt overpowered me, he showed strength comparable to a ’Six Tribulations Loose Immortal’, inferior to you... but I can’t be sure if his true strength might rival a ’Seven Tribulations Loose Immortal’!"

In the end, Emperor Eli’s expression also turned somewhat solemn.

"Father has already considered this."

Emperor Henmingway said, "So, I plan to ask your ’Uncle Campbell’ and ’Uncle Chester’ to join me in seeking Wyatt Barnes for your revenge!"

"Unless Wyatt has the strength that Sword Saint ’Breezy Wind’ had back then... otherwise, he is undoubtedly dead!"

"And for him to have the strength that Sword Saint ’Breezy Wind’ had back then would be a fantasy!"

"You also know, according to the notes passed down from our Dragonsmith Clan ancestors: Back then, Sword Saint Breezy Wind was able to kill an ’Eight Tribulations Loose Immortal’ with his half-step immortal cultivation and rival a ’Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal’ because he accidentally entered an ’Outer Heaven Secret Realm’ and received a great fortune!"

Emperor Henmingway concluded in one breath.

"Uncle Chester?"

Hearing Emperor Henmingway’s words, Emperor Eli’s eyes immediately brightened again...

Because he knew:

The Uncle Chester his father mentioned was someone even stronger than his father, an ’Eight Tribulations Loose Immortal’!

"Hahahaha... Wyatt Barnes, with an Eight Tribulations Loose Immortal taking action, I don’t believe you won’t die!"

In a moment, Emperor Eli burst into a hysterical laugh, his tone full of delight...

...

A month later.

On an unnamed snow peak in the North Territory.

The temporary residence of the Seven Terminating Sect welcomed back the disciples of the Seven Terminating Sect’s Twin Branch, Brother Nangle, and the disciple of the Redford Worldly Sect, Karina Hanson.

It was supposed to be a good day for Wyatt Barnes to reunite with old friends...

But, Karina Hanson also brought back two consecutive pieces of ’bad news’:

"The disciple of the Colossal Power Branch, Augustine Landon; the disciple of the Shadow Branch, Case Moon..."

"They’re both dead!!"
