Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1664: Jewel Valley

Chapter 1664: Chapter 1664: Jewel Valley

The movements of the Shadow Mountain Black Market were significant, and although they tried to block the information, it still clearly reached the Mansion of Azure Clouds.

"What is that Dugu trying to do?"

Lanni Barnes’ face darkened, a cold light flickering in his eyes.

At this moment, Lanni Barnes also learned that before the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ in his son’s hand was exposed, the leader of the Shadow Mountain Black Market, ’Dugu’, had already set his sights on it.

"That Dugu actually knows who my son is, and even has his portrait... Where did he get it from?"

Lanni Barnes was quite puzzled by this.

However, as a flash of insight appeared in Lanni Barnes’ mind, he easily guessed that this matter was more than likely related to the Dragonsmith Clan, after all, the last time he went there was because of his son’s business.

"Even having my son’s portrait... It seems to be the work of that Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, ’Emperor End’ from the Dragonsmith Clan!"

Soon, Lanni Barnes locked onto a target.

Once targeted, his face became extremely grim. He hadn’t expected that Emperor End, despite agreeing to a five-year agreement with his son Wyatt Barnes, would dare to play tricks behind their backs.

However, although he determined it was Emperor End’s doing, because there was no evidence, despite his anger, he did not go to the Dragonsmith Clan to settle accounts with Emperor End.

Emperor End has thousands of reasons to claim this matter has nothing to do with him.

Upon learning that the Shadow Mountain Black Market took such significant actions, Lanni Barnes became even more worried about his son’s safety, feeling more unsettled.

However, recalling the stern words of Destiny Elder at the time, he held himself back.

Wyatt Barnes naturally did not know about Lanni Barnes’ concerns.

He wasn’t even aware that his father was the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, a quasi-third-rate power in the Martial Dao Sacred Land Lower Domain.

Meanwhile, Winnie Romero, who had only recently entered the territory of the Bi Bo Han Residence, couldn’t help but worry about Wyatt’s safety as she heard the widespread rumors, "I hope Brother Barnes is blessed with great fortune... Brother Barnes, where exactly are you now?"

However, after arriving in the territory of the Bi Bo Han Residence, Winnie Romero did not hurry to leave.

A month later, when she arrived at Green Wave City, she inquired about the identity of ’Karina Hanson’.

Although she had not met Karina Hanson face-to-face before, she had heard the name many times from Brother Barnes and had a general idea of what kind of person Karina Hanson was.

In Brother Barnes’ eyes, Karina Hanson had an extraordinary background and a mysterious identity.

Winnie Romero has heard of Karina Hanson from Wyatt Barnes, and Karina Hanson has similarly heard of Winnie Romero from Brother Wyatt.

Therefore, even though the two had not met face-to-face, they already knew of each other’s existence.

Because of this, when Winnie Romero revealed her identity and sent someone to inform Karina Hanson, Karina promptly invited Winnie Romero into the Bi Bo Han Residence and brought her into her residence.

"You are Sister Winnie? I’ve often heard Brother Wyatt mention you."

Faced with Winnie Romero, Karina Hanson was exceedingly warm.

"Julia, I’ve often heard Brother Barnes speak of you too."

Winnie Romero responded with a smile but quickly got to the point, asking, "Julia, did your Brother Wyatt come to find you?"

"Brother Wyatt came to find Sister Jovie."

Karina Hanson sighed, "However, some time ago, Sister Jovie was taken away by someone... As for Brother Wyatt, he stayed at our Bi Bo Han Residence for a month and then left. But I believe he will come back to see me before long, he certainly will..."

As she spoke, Karina Hanson was almost muttering to herself.

"Left?"

Hearing that Wyatt Barnes had been to the Bi Bo Han Residence, Winnie’s eyes lit up, but upon learning that he left after only a month, she felt somewhat disappointed.

Because it meant she still couldn’t see her Brother Barnes.

"Julia, did Brother Barnes say where he was going?"

Winnie looked at Karina Hanson, her eyes gleaming, and asked directly.

"He didn’t say."

Karina Hanson replied with a wry smile.

Seeing this, Winnie felt deeply disappointed.

But as for clues about Wyatt Barnes’ whereabouts, they were completely cut off at this point.

At this moment, Winnie felt a sense of not knowing where to turn, a feeling of impotence.

Invited by Karina Hanson, Winnie temporarily stayed at her residence, residing in the premises of the Bi Bo Han Residence.

Meanwhile, the news of an outsider arriving at Karina Hanson’s residence, after several months, soon reached the ears of the Supreme Elder of the Bi Bo Han Residence, ’Juan Hanson’.

However, because Winnie was a woman, he didn’t pay much attention.

Time flowed like water, silently slipping through his fingers.

In the Sky-scraping Mansion’s region, the discussions concerning the Overleaping Rankings reached their peak just a month before the Ranking Battle began.

Throughout the Sky-scraping Mansion’s region, everywhere could be heard talks about the Overleaping Rankings.

In the following period, the hottest topic in the Sky-scraping Mansion’s region was undoubtedly the Overleaping Rankings.

A month’s time is neither too long nor too short.

Within this month’s time, the place where the Overleaping Rankings’ Rank Battle will be held, an expansive gorge called ’Jewel Valley’, was crowded with people, lively and bustling.

The Overleaping Rankings’ Rank Battle is a grand event in the Sky-scraping Mansion’s region, and even though there was still a month before it commenced, a group of people had already arrived here, eagerly awaiting the Overleaping Rankings’ Rank Battle.

During this period, many martial artist geniuses and Taoist cultivators from various parts of the Sky-scraping Mansion’s region who met the criteria also arrived.

In the vast Jewel Valley, martial artists and Taoist cultivators could be seen sitting cross-legged everywhere, practicing. Some even chose to sit cross-legged in mid-air, and True Origin could be faintly seen circulating around their bodies.

Saint realm powerhouses didn’t seem to hold much value here.

"The Sky-scraping Mansion’s people have arrived!"

Three days before the Overleaping Rankings’ Rank Battle was to begin, someone shouted, drawing the attention of many people.

As the crowd looked up, they found a group of extraordinary people, led by an elderly man, entering the Jewel Valley, forcibly occupying a picturesque part of the valley, which made the martial artists and Taoist cultivators originally practicing there retreat in the distance.

In the Sky-scraping Mansion’s region, the Sky-scraping Mansion is an absolute behemoth, and no one dares to provoke them easily.

So, although everyone was angry at the Sky-scraping Mansion’s dominance, they did not dare to express it, only gritting their teeth in silence.

"That elder seems to be the Ninth Elder of the Sky-scraping Mansion."

"That’s right! He’s the Ninth Elder of the Sky-scraping Mansion, I’ve seen him once... It seems he and those behind him are just ’vanguards’ of the Sky-scraping Mansion this time. The Junior House Master and the others of the Sky-scraping Mansion haven’t arrived yet."

"Monk Flower and Silent Void haven’t arrived yet either."

"There are still three days left, no rush."

...

The Jewel Valley was abuzz with discussion.
