Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1217 Redflame

Chapter 1217: Chapter 1217 Redflame

Lost deep within the Stone Forest, a figure suddenly appeared in front of a stone house that had been completely hollowed out from a gigantic boulder.

This was a burly old man clad in a red robe.

He was the red-robed old man who had just entered the Stone Forest.

"Were you once a ’Fire Spirit’?"

Now, the old man was staring at the stone house in front of him with gleaming eyes, asking with a somewhat solemn tone as if talking to the air.

"How do you know?"

Almost the moment the old man’s words fell, the door of the stone house opened automatically, and a figure resembling a sprite of fire appeared before the old man.

It was a woman dressed in red.

The woman possessed a beauty so stunning that, upon appearing, it seemed as though everything around her dimmed in comparison.

"Good, good..."

The old man looked the woman up and down, constantly uttering "good," the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

"What’s your name?"

The old man asked the red-clothed woman, affectionately, who was none other than "Winnie Romero."

"You haven’t answered me yet."

Winnie did not respond to the old man.

"Because I was once a ’Fire Spirit’ as well."

The old man responded with a smile, "You could say we are of the same kind."

"Were you once a ’Fire Spirit’?"

Winnie was somewhat surprised to hear the old man’s words.

Though she had lost her memory, she had long known from the man she loved that she was a ’Fire Spirit.’

She also knew that it was thanks to him that she had managed to escape the troubles associated with being a ’Fire Spirit.’

She understood all too well from that man just how difficult it was for a typical owner of a ’Fire Spirit’ to break free from the fate of dying at the age of thirty.

The old man in front of her, having freed himself from the confines of the ’Fire Spirit,’ proved he was no ordinary person.

"Only those with the same ’Innate Spirit Body’ can sense each other... Do you not feel a sense of familiarity with me?"

The old man asked with a kind smile.

"It seems I do."

Winnie nodded.

She then realized that, normally cold to anyone but that man, she was conversing with this old man at their first meeting without a cold expression.

"Who dares to trespass in our Lost Stone Forest!"

Just then, a cold voice came like thunder, causing Winnie’s expression to change and she quickly looked towards the red-robed old man, "You better leave, the people here are not easy to provoke."

"You are very kind."

The red-robed old man smiled slightly and nodded with satisfaction, his thoughts inscrutable.

He then turned around to face a young man in black, who was coming from not far away.

The young man, dressed in black and towering in stature, was now glaring angrily at the red-robed old man and said coldly, "Old man, do you know the consequences of trespassing in our Lost Stone Forest?"

This black-clothed young man was none other than ’Isaac Campbell.’

"Consequences? I am curious, what could they be?"

The red-robed old man faced Isaac calmly and asked placidly.

"Since you’re curious, I’ll tell you! The consequence is... death!"

Isaac, not expecting the red-robed old man to talk back, instantly became furiously enraged and shouted, his entire being shooting towards the red-robed old man like lightning.

"Be careful!"

The speed of Isaac was too fast for Winnie to intervene, she could only exclaim in alarm.

Boom!!

Soon, a loud noise followed, along with swirling gusts of wind from rolling air waves, causing the nearby boulders to shake vehemently.

Especially the stone house Winnie resided in, it was directly destroyed by the rolling air waves.

The stone house, originally formed by hollowing out a boulder, was significantly more fragile than the boulder itself.

"Wow!!"

Then, Winnie saw Isaac flying backward like an arrow released from its bow, continuously spewing blood midair, appearing extremely disheveled.

In contrast, the red-robed old man stood there motionless.

He looked as if nothing had happened.

"You... are you a Martial Emperor?"

Finally, Isaac steadied himself, his face ugly as he looked at the red-robed old man.

Only a Martial Emperor could withstand his attack unscathed.

"Your strength is quite good among those in the Martial Emperor Realm... If I’m not mistaken, you must be a direct disciple of Kingston Stone, right?"

The red-robed old man glanced at Isaac indifferently and asked calmly.

Kingston Stone’s little boy?

The words of the red-robed old man, referring to the master of the Lost Stone Forest, Kingston Stone, as ’little boy,’ not only shocked Isaac, but Winnie was startled as well.

"You... which senior are you?"

As Kingston Stone’s most cherished disciple, Isaac was highly skilled at reading people and quickly realized he might have provoked someone formidable; he inquired somewhat nervously.

Facing Isaac’s question, the red-robed old man ignored him and instead called out loudly, "Kingston Stone, you really put on quite the air... Must I personally invite you to come out?"

The voice of the red-robed old man, imbued with Origin Force, swept across the entire Lost Stone Forest in an instant.

At one moment, the entire Lost Stone Forest was abuzz.

Kingston Stone, that kid?

"My heavens, who is this person speaking, daring to call Martial Emperor as ’kid’?"

"If he isn’t here to deliberately cause trouble, then he is very likely an elder of Martial Emperor."

...

Many disciples and followers of Martial Emperor discussed animatedly.

Meanwhile, those followers of Martial Emperor, who had been chasing the red-robed elder deeper into the Lost Stone Forest, suddenly halted and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Could this elder, who just called Martial Emperor ’kid’, be that same old man from earlier?"

One of the disciples swallowed hard and asked.

"Other than him, it’s unlikely that a second elder would have coincidentally arrived in the Lost Stone Forest... It must be him."

Another disciple of Martial Emperor said.

Soon, a group of followers, fiercely aiming for the depths of the Lost Stone Forest, turned around and returned to their patrolling areas.

At this moment, they deeply realized:

They could not afford to provoke that red-robed elder!

"Redflame, senior."

Deep in the Lost Stone Forest, as soon as the red-robed elder spoke, Kingston Martial Emperor soon appeared.

After appearing, Kingston Martial Emperor respectfully bowed to the red-robed elder.

This scene left Isaac Campbell and Winnie Romero stunned nearby.

Even the other two direct disciples of Martial Emperor who had rushed over were dumbfounded, staring at the scene before them, unable to regain their senses for a long time.

"Kingston, based on the speed you just displayed... have you broken through?"

The red-robed elder, also known as ’Redflame’ to Kingston Martial Emperor, took an interested look at Kingston Martial Emperor and asked.

"Redflame, senior, you have good eyesight."

Kingston Martial Emperor smiled and nodded, then asked, "Redflame, senior, when did you return to Cloud Skies Continent?"

When did you return to Cloud Skies Continent?

Once Kingston Martial Emperor said this, Winnie Romero looked at Redflame with a puzzled expression, thinking, this old man isn’t from Cloud Skies Continent?

As for Isaac Campbell, his expression changed instantly, "He... he is a powerful figure from outside Cloud Skies Continent?"

"Just got back."

Redflame responded, then looked towards Isaac Campbell, saying indifferently, "Kingston, your direct disciple here is not too bad."

Hearing Redflame’s words, Isaac Campbell didn’t wait for his master to react and hurriedly bowed low, humbly apologizing, "Redflame, senior, I didn’t know of your status earlier; I have offended you, please forgive me."

"Isaac, what have you done?"

At this time, Kingston Martial Emperor also reacted, turning to Isaac Campbell and asked sternly.

"Master, I mistakenly thought that Redflame, senior was an intruder into our Lost Stone Forest, so..."

Isaac did not continue, but Kingston Martial Emperor had already guessed what had probably happened.

"Redflame, senior, my disciple has been offensive, I hope you can forgive him."

Kingston Martial Emperor followed with an apology, bowing respectfully to Redflame, his brows revealing a hint of awe.

"It’s a minor matter."

Redflame shook his head, indicating he would not hold a grudge, and after a while, he continued, "I came back to Cloud Skies Continent mainly to remind you... that matter, it’s been moved up by a year. You can start preparing now."

"Moved up by a year?"

Kingston Martial Emperor was somewhat surprised, "Redflame, senior, why is that?"

"I’m not sure of the specifics... I’m just a messenger. Now that the message is delivered, I should be leaving."

Redflame said blandly, then looked towards the red-clad woman, Winnie Romero, "This young lady, I would like to take her with me... You shouldn’t have any objections, right?"

As Redflame spoke, he glanced deeply at Kingston Martial Emperor and asked.

"Of course not!"

Kingston Martial Emperor quickly responded.

Never mind that Winnie Romero had no relevance to him, even if she were his direct disciple, he would still hand her over to Redflame if asked.

Hearing that Redflame wanted to take Winnie Romero, although Isaac Campbell’s expression turned ugly, he dared not raise any objections.

This was a person whom even his master, ’Kingston Martial Emperor’, was wary of; he naturally dared not provoke him.

"Young lady, come with me... With your talent, you shouldn’t stay buried here."

Redflame said to Winnie Romero.

Clearly, he too regarded Winnie Romero as a direct disciple of Martial Emperor from the Lost Stone Forest.

"I can go with you... but you have to help me kill them."

Winnie Romero looked towards Kingston Martial Emperor and Isaac Campbell and slowly said.

"Huh?"

Redflame was taken aback, then looked towards Kingston Martial Emperor and Isaac Campbell. Seeing them feeling uneasy, he curiously asked, "How did they offend you?"

He originally thought the young woman in red also was Kingston Martial Emperor’s direct disciple, but it seemed not to be the case.

"They deserve to die."

Winnie Romero said coldly.

"Redflame, senior, I..."

Kingston Martial Emperor, seeing Redflame sizing him up, suddenly felt uneasy and tried to say something, but was interrupted by Redflame.

"Don’t you think that killing them with your own strength would be better?"

Redflame looked at Winnie Romero and asked in return.

At his words, Winnie fell silent for a moment.
