Chapter 1231: Ignorance Is Fearless

Chapter 1231: Chapter 1231: Ignorance Is Fearless

Wyatt Barnes’s gaze swept calmly over the middle-aged man in the green robe who had descended from the sky with two people behind him, and he asked indifferently, "Are those two fellows just now your brothers?"

Ever since he arrived at Mystic Profound Peak, he had only killed two people, and those were the two just now.

"My brother is ’Bryant Wright,’ a disciple of the Martial Emperor of Mystic Profound Peak!"

The middle-aged man in the green robe spoke coldly, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light that seemed to devour others. A terrifying murderous intent emanated faintly from his body, causing many in attendance to feel a shiver run through their hearts.

A disciple of the Martial Emperor!

Wyatt Barnes had killed a disciple of the Martial Emperor?

As the middle-aged man in green robe spoke, the entire place burst into an uproar.

At that moment, everyone’s gaze, as if by some unspoken agreement, fell on Wyatt Barnes’s body, their faces filled with shock.

"He... killed a disciple of the Martial Emperor?"

The Martial Emperor Realm warrior of the third level, who had come with Wyatt Barnes under the guidance of Blaze Myers three months ago, looked at Wyatt again, his gaze almost stupefied.

He remembered clearly what had happened three months ago.

At that time, Wyatt had indeed only displayed the cultivation of the ’First level of the Cave Void Realm,’ and this was certainly true.

Now, three months later, Wyatt’s ability to kill a warrior of the second layer and a warrior of the third level of the Martial Emperor Realm was already shocking to him, completely perplexing as to how Wyatt’s improvement could be so dramatic.

Now, someone with bad intentions had clearly stated that Wyatt had killed his brother, a disciple of the Martial Emperor of Mystic Profound Peak.

"It must be a case of mistaken identity."

He thought to himself.

Many in the crowd shared his thought, including Blaze Myers and the elderly man beside him.

"Bryant Wright? A disciple of the Martial Emperor?"

Wyatt raised an eyebrow, and immediately, an image surfaced in his mind, "Are you talking about that bandit leader?"

Bandit leader!

As soon as Wyatt said these words, Blaze Myers and the elder next to him exchanged glances, both seeing shock in each other’s eyes.

Bryant Wright, a disciple of the Martial Emperor of Mystic Profound Peak.

His favorite activity was to take a few disciples of the Martial Emperor and act as ’bandits,’ pillaging around the area of Mystic Profound Peak.

Now, as Wyatt mentioned ’bandit leader,’ they subtly realized that Wyatt might have indeed killed Bryant Wright.

"It was indeed you!"

The murderous intent in the middle-aged man’s eyes intensified, and he stepped forward, his inner energy exploding like a towering milky-white flame, his momentum formidable.

Bang!!

With one step, the entire stone platform cracked, vicious fissures spreading in all directions, resembling a giant spider web.

This demonstrated just how angry he currently was.

Just as Wyatt finished speaking, the middle-aged man stepped forward, preparing to strike, when a ghostly figure suddenly appeared, blocking his path.

This figure’s emergence was unexpected by everyone.

"It’s him!"

Wyatt recognized the figure at once; it was Blaze Myers, the disciple of the Martial Emperor of Mystic Profound Peak who had originally brought him here.

"Blaze Myers, what do you mean by this?"

The middle-aged man’s face darkened as he spoke harshly, "You better not get involved in today’s matter."

"Vihaan Wright."

Blaze Myers glanced indifferently at the middle-aged man, "Whether your brother died by his hand or not, he is under my protection now."

"Until the selection of the Martial Emperor’s disciples and apprentices begins, I won’t allow him to come to any harm."

As he spoke, a glint of determination flickered in Blaze Myers’s eyes.

"Blaze Myers, don’t forget, you were once defeated by me," Vihaan Wright taunted.

As the saying goes, ’Where there are people, there is strife.’

The same was true for Mystic Profound Peak.

Within Mystic Profound Peak, under the Martial Emperor, there were three direct disciples.

The eldest disciple usually practiced alongside the Martial Emperor, both elusive like the Divine Dragon.

The entire Mystic Profound Peak was usually managed by the second and third disciples.

Over time, friction between the two was inevitable, leading to their respective disciples and apprentices forming two major camps.

Vihaan Wright, besides being among the top three formidable disciples of Mystic Profound Peak, belonged to the camp of the second direct disciple and was highly regarded for his strength.

Blaze Myers, on the other hand, belonged to the third direct disciple’s camp.

Between them, due to different camps, they were naturally at odds.

Today, Vihaan Wright wanted to take Wyatt Barnes right under Blaze Myers’s watch, which Blaze Myers naturally couldn’t allow to happen.

Whoosh!

As Vihaan Wright scoffed, a gust of wind passed, and another figure appeared next to Blaze Myers, another disciple of the Martial Emperor supervising the selection of apprentices and disciples at the event, and also a member of Blaze Myers’s camp.

"Vihaan Wright, if you have the confidence to defeat both of us together, then go ahead," Blaze Myers said coolly, his words carrying a subtle challenge.

Vihaan Wright’s expression darkened.

Facing two Martial Emperor disciples alone in battle was something he was not sure he could handle.

Though his strength ranked among the top three among the Martial Emperor disciples of Mystic Profound Peak, he was almost equal to the two before him.

One-on-one, he could defeat any of the two opponents before him.

But if the two attacked together, he admitted he would be no match for them.

As for the two people he brought with him, mere Martial Emperor disciples, they could only serve as ’cannon fodder’ against two Martial Emperor disciples and were of no real help to him.

"Blaze Myers, do you think this is a numbers game?"

The icy light flickered in Vihaan Wright’s eyes as he planned to leave and call for more people.

"A numbers game?"

Blaze Myers seemed to guess Vihaan Wright’s intentions, giving him a deep look, and said, "Vihaan Wright, if I were you, I wouldn’t be foolish enough to go looking for help... Don’t forget, the ’rules’ of the Martial Emperor disciple and scholar selection are set by the Martial Emperor himself."

"The command from the Martial Emperor himself to protect the participants in the Martial Emperor disciple and scholar selection too!"

"However, I really would like to see... what consequences you’ll face after defying the Martial Emperor’s orders. By that time, I just hope your master is willing to plead for you."

Toward the end of his words, a mocking smile appeared on Blaze Myers’ face.

"You!!"

Blaze Myers’s words infuriated Vihaan Wright momentarily, filling him with rage, but eventually, he suppressed it.

Reminded by Blaze Myers, he calmed down a bit.

"I’ll let you live another three months... Three months later, at the Martial Emperor disciple and scholar selection, I hope you’ll still be alive. By then, I will kill you with my own hands to avenge my brother!"

After that, Vihaan Wright no longer paid attention to Blaze Myers but turned his cold gaze toward Wyatt Barnes, threatening him harshly.

Having said that, without waiting for Wyatt Barnes to respond, he hurried away with the two Martial Emperor disciples behind him, leaving as swiftly as the wind, almost as if he was never there.

From beginning to end, Wyatt Barnes remained calm.

His mood was not disturbed by Vihaan Wright’s threats.

In fact, he had never taken Vihaan Wright seriously.

"Wyatt Barnes, did you really kill Bryant Wright?"

Soon after, Blaze Myers turned to Wyatt Barnes with a complex look and asked.

"Probably."

Wyatt Barnes shrugged nonchalantly.

He didn’t know if that person was Bryant Wright, but he remembered that after he killed the man, the people beside him seemed to call him ’Senior Brother Wright’.

Maybe?

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, including Blaze Myers and an old man beside him, everyone fell silent.

"Three months ago, I was indeed wrong... you shouldn’t have stayed here. But now that you’ve offended Vihaan Wright, you might as well stay."

Blaze Myers said with a complex expression.

"As for that pavilion... you can live there."

While speaking, Blaze Myers looked toward the pavilion behind the steps, wrapped almost physically in the powerful inner energy of heaven and earth.

In a moment, Blaze Myers soared into the air, arriving in front of the pavilion. His lips moved slightly, but it was unclear what he said.

Immediately afterward, a person flew out, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.

"My lord, isn’t this pavilion meant for the deserving? By doing this, am I to understand that you are abusing your power?"

Unlike Blaze Myers’s soft voice, the middle-aged man intentionally raised his voice, allowing everyone, including Wyatt Barnes, to clearly hear.

For a moment, most faces bore a strange expression.

Abusing power?

This guy really dared to say anything.

"I’m merely suggesting that you give up this pavilion. If you agree, everyone will be happy. However, if you do not heed my advice, then you must fight him and contest the ownership of the pavilion."

Blaze Myers also raised his voice while turning to look at Wyatt Barnes.

As gazes fell on Wyatt Barnes, making him the focal point of everyone’s attention, the middle-aged man who emerged from the pavilion also looked toward Wyatt Barnes.

"Although I do not know your relationship with this gentleman that would make him ask me to vacate this pavilion... if you want to live in this pavilion, you must first defeat me, or even kill me!"

The middle-aged man stepped into the air, quickly reaching the airspace in front of Wyatt Barnes, looking down at him as he spoke gravely.

Hearing the middle-aged man’s words and seeing his posture, the expressions on the people present turned odd.

"Ignorance is truly fearless."

This thought emerged simultaneously in their minds.

Many looked at the middle-aged man with pity.

By now, they almost could confirm that Wyatt Barnes had indeed killed a Martial Emperor disciple from Mystic Profound Peak. The brother of the deceased had come knocking; this incident was hardly likely to be false.

And now, facing Wyatt Barnes, a person capable of killing a Martial Emperor disciple.

The middle-aged man, a prominent figure among the third layers of the Martial Emperor Realm, because of his ignorance of Wyatt Barnes’s strength and deeds, brazenly challenged him.

Although there were many spectators, not a single person reminded the middle-aged man.

Perhaps, due to him having lived in that ’privileged place’ for so long, many harbored resentments against him, subtly enjoying his embarrassment.

"I do not like someone standing over my head."

Just then, Wyatt Barnes spoke, his demeanor indifferent throughout.
