Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1053 - 1054: The Most Urgent Task

Chapter 1053: Chapter 1054: The Most Urgent Task

Of course, "without reason" is only relative to Wyatt Barnes,

From Ahmir Rowan’s perspective, his question was also a well-considered one.

All this was based on the premise that he wanted to kill Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes had the mysterious Miss Julia supporting him; unless he could kill Wyatt without leaving any traces, he wouldn’t dare lay a finger on him.

Unless he no longer wished to live.

And today, he had undoubtedly encountered an opportunity to kill Wyatt Barnes without leaving any traces.

Perhaps many people in the tavern knew about the conflict between his nephew and Wyatt Barnes today, but no one knew the person clashing with his nephew was Wyatt Barnes.

Even he had only realized after catching up that the person who had crippled his nephew’s abilities was Wyatt Barnes!

So, if there were no "accidents," even if he killed Wyatt Barnes right now, no one would know.

It was precisely because he was worried about "accidents" that he asked such an abrupt question.

Just because, some time ago, a Martial Emperor from the North Nether Sect, Toby Fenning, had come to their Grimm Wolf Fortress and asked the five Vice Fort Masters, including him, about the background of Wyatt Barnes.

During this process, he could feel the cold murderous intent emanating from Toby Fenning’s eyes.

It was a murderous intent that wished to smash Wyatt Barnes into pieces and scatter his ashes to the wind.

"Could it be... back at the ’Martial Emperor’s Secret Trove,’ Wyatt Barnes not only killed disciples from the Emerging Cloud Sect, but he also killed disciples from the North Nether Sect?"

"Now, has someone from the North Nether Sect come to seek revenge on him?"

This was his first thought at the time, and the more he thought about it, the more certain he became.

Originally, in his view, once a Martial Emperor from the North Nether Sect personally took action, as long as Wyatt Barnes was indeed in the Great Turdo Dynasty and the Martial Emperor from the North Nether Sect found him, Wyatt Barnes was almost surely doomed.

Yet now, Wyatt Barnes had survived against all odds.

So, he wanted to confirm one thing.

Whether Wyatt Barnes had ever encountered the Martial Emperor from the North Nether Sect, Toby Fenning.

If he had encountered him, there must be a hidden protector behind Wyatt Barnes; otherwise, how could he have survived the attack of a Martial Emperor from the North Nether Sect?

If not, it could only mean that Wyatt Barnes was lucky.

And he, too, would kill Wyatt Barnes without leaving any traces, avenging his nephew.

This was something he had to be extremely careful and cautious about.

Because with one careless move, he could very well fall into the Abyss

"I hope it’s the latter."

Thinking this, Ahmir Rowan watched Wyatt Barnes intently, waiting for his response.

"The Martial Emperor, Toby Fenning, from the North Nether Sect didn’t come looking for you?"

Upon hearing Ahmir Rowan’s question, Wyatt Barnes’s pupils contracted, and his expression darkened slightly, "The two people from the North Nether Sect, did they learn the specific location of my ’hometown’ from your Grimm Wolf Fortress?"

The two people from the North Nether Sect!

Two people!

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Ahmir Rowan was completely certain.

Wyatt Barnes must have encountered that Martial Emperor from the North Nether Sect because when the Martial Emperor from the North Nether Sect descended upon their Grimm Wolf Fortress, he was accompanied by another person.

If Wyatt Barnes had not encountered two people from the North Nether Sect, how could he know that there were two of them?

However, the chill in Wyatt Barnes’s tone toward the end made Ahmir Rowan’s heart skip a beat. He quickly tried to remedy the situation, "They had previously learned of your ’background’ from the Blade and Sword Sect, but they came to our Grimm Wolf Fortress just to further confirm it."

In his words, Ahmir Rowan used the Blade and Sword Sect as a shield.

He truly feared that in a fit of anger, Wyatt Barnes would cause the powerful protector hidden in the shadows, who didn’t fear the North Nether Sect’s Martial Emperor, to take action. If things reached that point, he was bound to die!

"Hmph!"

Wyatt Barnes snorted coldly, and after giving Ahmir Rowan a deep look, he then soared away towards the north.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The ice coffin containing Winnie Romero, along with Fill Bear, were both drawn by him one by one.

Watching the three swift trails of light disappear into the north, a cold-sweating Ahmir Rowan breathed a sigh of relief, his face filled with lingering fear, "Thank goodness the hidden protector didn’t take action again."

After muttering to himself, Ahmir Rowan’s figure moved, and he disappeared from the spot, heading back towards the ancient city in the Northern Desert.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

And Wyatt Barnes, who was flying full speed to the north, only gradually slowed down half an hour later.

Regarding the recent encounter, although he wasn’t afraid, he still felt somewhat fearful.

The reason he wasn’t afraid was that he was well aware.

Ahmir Rowan, as the chief amongst the five Vice Fort Masters of the Grimm Wolf Fortress, possessed strength far beyond what he could currently match.

But if he risked using the Demon Sealing Monument, killing the other would be easy!

To protect Winnie, he didn’t mind using the Demon Sealing Monument again, even if it meant his emotions becoming even less controllable, possibly turning him completely into a ’demon.’

"Winnie, for me, you were willing to sacrifice your life... I, Wyatt Barnes, even if it means becoming a ’demon’ for her, what does it matter?!"

This was Wyatt Barnes’s thought.

She willingly died for me, I’m willing to become a demon for her, without regret or resentment!

Of course, if he could avoid using the Demon Sealing Monument, he naturally would not want to use it.

Thus, escaping without using the Demon Sealing Monument, whenever he thought about what had just happened, he couldn’t help but feel fearful.

North Nether Sect, Toby Fenning... in an indirect way, you indeed saved me once.

Wyatt Barnes muttered to himself.

One could imagine.

If Toby Fenning knew, from the underworld, of Wyatt Barnes’s recent ordeal and realized he had inadvertently saved Wyatt Barnes, he would definitely be furious enough to cough up blood incessantly.

"Young Master, where are we heading now?"

Along the way, Fill Bear finally couldn’t contain his curiosity and turned to ask Wyatt Barnes.

"The place we’re going to isn’t accessible for now... Our urgent priority is to find a detailed map of the Cloud Skies Continent first,"

Wyatt Barnes said.

The most inclusive map of the Cloud Skies Continent that he had encountered so far only covered the Northern Desert and its surrounding areas.

This little spot, in the grand scheme of the Cloud Skies Continent, was just an insignificant corner.

From such a map, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t possibly pinpoint the location where the Martial Emperor had hidden the ’Big Treasure.’

Therefore, what he needed to do now was to find a more complete map.

Only then could he identify the exact location of the ’Big Treasure’ left by the Martial Emperor and retrieve it.

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Fill Bear nodded in semi-understanding.

"The Northern Desert... If we can’t find what we’re looking for there, then we’ll have to keep heading north,"

Wyatt Barnes added.

Currently, he did not know which corner of the Cloud Skies Continent he was in.

But he could sense that the central region of the Cloud Skies Continent should be north of the Northern Desert, although he was unsure whether it was specifically ’northeast’ or ’northwest.’

Wyatt Barnes, with Fill Bear and dragging the ’ice coffin,’ headed north.

Along the way, whenever they encountered a city, Wyatt Barnes would patiently stop, enter the city, and see if he could find a general map of the entire Cloud Skies Continent.

Meanwhile, Ahmir Rowan, the chief among the five Vice Fort Masters of Grimm Wolf Fortress, had also returned to the ancient desert city, back to that tavern.

Without a word, he took his nephew and two elders of Grimm Wolf Fortress and left the tavern to return to their stronghold in Grimm Wolf Fortress.

"Uncle, how did it go? Did you finish him off?"

Looking expectantly, Larry Rowan asked Ahmir Rowan.

Ahmir Rowan sighed.

Seeing this, Larry Rowan’s expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Uncle, could it be that you didn’t catch up to him? It seems he must have changed directions and escaped... That’s really despicable!"

By the end of his statement, Larry Rowan verbally abused Wyatt Barnes as ’despicable.’

"I did catch up to him,"

Ahmir Rowan stated.

"You caught up to him?"

This time, not just Larry Rowan, but the other two Grimm Wolf Fortress elders also looked at Ahmir Rowan with puzzled faces, wondering why Ahmir Rowan had sighed earlier.

Had Ahmir Rowan killed the young man in purple, or had he not?

"Yes, I caught up,"

Ahmir Rowan nodded and then, under the expectant gazes of Larry Rowan and the other two elders, shook his head, "However, I didn’t kill him."

As soon as Ahmir Rowan said this, Larry Rowan’s face changed, showing displeasure.

The other two Grimm Wolf Fortress elders furrowed their brows, sensing that something was amiss.

As far as they knew, their Vice Fort Master from Grimm Wolf Fortress wasn’t one to show mercy!

Moreover, even his own nephew’s core had been destroyed this time.

He had caught the murderer, yet he hadn’t killed the murderer?

This was utterly baffling to them.

"Why?!"

Looking at Ahmir Rowan with frustration, Larry Rowan exclaimed, "Uncle, why didn’t you kill him? Why?!"

If it had been anyone else speaking to him like this, Ahmir Rowan, as the chief among the five Vice Fort Masters of Grimm Wolf Fortress, would have lost patience and killed the person long ago.

However, the person in question happened to be his only relative in this world, his sister’s son.

"Larry, it’s not that your uncle didn’t want to kill him; your uncle couldn’t kill him nor dared to kill him!"

Ahmir Rowan sighed again and then shared his reservations, during which he also revealed Wyatt Barnes’s identity.

"What?! He is Wyatt Barnes?!"

The faces of the two Grimm Wolf Fortress elders drastically changed.

Wyatt Barnes, they were not unfamiliar with this name at all.

In the past, during the ’Decadal Martial Meet’ hosted by their Grimm Wolf Fortress, the person who topped the list was ’Wyatt Barnes.’

However, Wyatt Barnes had not stayed in their Grimm Wolf Fortress.

Originally, the name ’Wyatt Barnes’ had gradually been forgotten by them.

Yet, a recent piece of news had stunned them for quite some time.

The most talented twenty young members of the current generation in Grimm Wolf Fortress had all been killed by Wyatt Barnes!

Initially, they believed it was just a rumor.

But as time passed, they had not seen those twenty most formidable young members anymore; it was as if they had vanished into thin air.

By then, they had to start doubting the accuracy of that so-called ’rumor.’
