Chapter 348: Hidden Peak

Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Hidden Peak

"Scoundrel."

Jovie Lee looked at Wyatt Barnes, a hint of shock emerging on her pretty face. "I heard from Sister Ann King that Brother Graham is very strong... When I asked her if Brother Graham was an Original Infant Realm martial artist, she just chuckled and shook her head. Could it be... Brother Graham is a ’Void Realm powerhouse’?"

An Original Infant Realm martial artist?

Wyatt Barnes shook his head and smiled. Little Jovie was underestimating Brian Graham.

"Little Jovie, all I can say is... Even Fill Bear, with all his cultivation, feels inferior to Brother Graham."

Wyatt Barnes slowly tells this to Jovie.

"What?!"

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Jovie’s pretty face suddenly changed color.

She was aware of Fill Bear’s level of cultivation.

Peep Naught Realm Seventh-Order!

Even among the Peep Naught Realm martial artists, he is considered outstanding.

After staying blank for a moment, Jovie looked at Fill Bear, seemingly wanting to get further confirmation from him...

It’s not that she doesn’t trust Wyatt Barnes, this news is just too shocking.

Only after seeing Fill Bear nod did Jovie fully confirm it. With a face full of shock, she muttered to herself, "Brother Graham’s cultivation level is stronger than Fill Bear’s? Doesn’t that mean that Brother Graham has surpassed the ’Peep Naught Realm Seventh-Order’?"

Gradually, a hint of envy appeared in Jovie’s eyes.

She envied Ann King!

Ann King, a woman, and a woman who can’t practice martial arts, receiving the selfless love of such a distinguished man, was undoubtedly a form of luck and happiness.

This distinguished man, from beginning to end, treated her with so much affection, willing to drop everything and open a tavern with her in this remote Star Gaze City, helping her to fulfill her long-time dream...

"Why, is my little Jovie envious of others? Do you think I don’t measure up to Brother Graham?"

Wyatt Barnes arrogantly took Jovie’s hand and laughed while questioning her.

Jovie blushed, "You playboy... Brother Graham is far more dedicated than you."

"Well, you can’t escape now that you’ve boarded the thief ship."

Wyatt Barnes hee-hee chuckled, slightly pinched Jovie’s hand, and walked her through the vibrant Star Gaze City night market after she gave him a shy sideways glance.

Star Gaze City, being the largest trading city in the Green Forest Royal Country, the night market was bustling.

Even when Wyatt Barnes and Jovie passed by, they occasionally witnessed people killing each other over petty disputes...

However, the bystanders seemed indifferent to this, appearing as if they were accustomed to it, not at all surprised.

"This really is a chaotic, anything-goes city."

Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help exclaim.

"Scoundrel, let’s leave."

Jovie frowned and felt a bit uncomfortable.

After all, she is different from Wyatt Barnes.

No matter what, Wyatt Barnes was a mercenary who crawled out of a heap of corpses in his previous life. He doesn’t only refrain from repulsion, he finds this familiar.

"Okay."

Seeing the pallor beneath Jovie’s veil, Wyatt Barnes nodded, took Jovie’s hand, and led her back to the inn.

Fill Bear followed closely behind Wyatt and Jovie, vigilantly observing the surroundings...

If anyone dared to harm Wyatt and Jovie, he would strike first and kill the opponent!

Protecting the safety of the Young Master and those around him is the meaning of his existence.

When they returned to the ’Feya Inn’, Wyatt found that the female manager was still there, still fully engrossed in watching the sloppy young man opposite the tavern...

Wyatt shook his head, took Jovie’s hand, and went back to their room.

"Little Jovie, since you’re not used to it here, we’ll go to ’Hidden Peak’ tomorrow, find Memphis Arlington, fulfill the task assigned by the Junior Sect Master of Endless Sect, and then leave."

Wyatt told Jovie.

Jovie nodded lightly, and soon fell asleep heavily on the bed.

Seeing Jovie’s weary face, Wyatt felt a little pained. He gently stroked her smooth, jade-like face, his eyes full of affection.

The next morning, the three of them prepared to set out.

"Let’s go say goodbye to Sister Ann King and Brother Graham."

Before leaving the inn, Jovie mentioned this to Wyatt.

Wyatt nodded.

However, when the two of them left the inn, bathed in the fresh morning fog, they found that ’Brother Graham and Sister Ann’s Tavern’ hadn’t opened yet. Wyatt laughed and shook his head. "Looks like we got up too early."

"Then let’s say goodbye to them when we get back and then leave."

Jovie suggested.

Wyatt agreed and left on horseback with Jovie.

Fill Bear followed closely behind, just like a shadow.

Leaving Star Gaze City, the three of them headed towards ’Hidden Peak’.

Hidden Peak stood in the distance, more majestic than the Primary Peak ’Heavenly Pivot Peak’ of the Seven Stars Sword Clan.

Hidden Peak seemed pretty close, but when the three of them had run with all their strength and arrived at the foot of Hidden Peak, it took them a whole hour.

The road to Hidden Peak was wide and extremely gentle, so you could ride all the way up.

The three of them rode their horses up Hidden Peak.

Along the way, they could see that in the hillside of Hidden Peak, some had constructed buildings, including log houses, brick and tile houses, or extravagant buildings like palaces.

"Hidden Peak is so big, trying to find Memphis Arlington here is like looking for a needle in a haystack..."

He had asked around all this while, yet there was no news about ’Memphis Arlington.’ This made Wyatt Barnes reveal a bitter smile, as he felt this would be a difficult task.

"I thought that upon reaching the Hidden Peak, I’d be able to find Memphis Arlington... I didn’t expect that nobody here would recognize him."

Jovie Lee furrowed her willow-like eyebrows, appearing a bit troubled.

"Hidden Peak is a massive area— it’s not surprising that they don’t know Memphis Arlington... Let’s continue moving up the mountain and see if we can gather news about ’Memphis Arlington.’"

As he continued his journey, Wyatt Barnes slowly elaborated.

At last, upon nearing the summit of the Hidden Peak, Wyatt Barnes and the others finally received information about ’Memphis Arlington.’

"You’re looking for Memphis Arlington?"

A burly old man with a full face of stubble narrowed his tiger-like eyes at Wyatt Barnes and his party, "What is your relation to him?"

"Elder, we belong to the Endless Sect."

Wyatt Barnes said with a smile to the burly elder.

Using his sharp spirit and the experience from his previous life as the Martial Emperor, he could tell that this burly elder was a strong man in the Ninth-Order of the Peep Naught Realm.

His power was no less than that of the Heavenly Authority Peak Master ’Wade Williams’ of the Seven Stars Sword Clan.

"The Endless Sect?"

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, the burly elder pondered for a moment before muttering, "I seemed to have heard of this sect somewhere... that’s right, that old fellow Memphis Arlington once mentioned that was the Sect he belonged to prior!"

Finally, the burly elder got the sense of it and looked at Wyatt Barnes’s party before asking, "Are you Memphis Arlington’s disciples?"

Disciples?

Wyatt Barnes twitched his mouth, but still nodded his head, "Indeed, Memphis Arlington was the Elder Ancestor of our Endless Sect... Elder, we have urgent matters to discuss with him. Do you know where he’s cultivating in the Hidden Peak?"

As he finished his words, Wyatt Barnes looked at the burly elder with an expectant expression.

But to his surprise, the elder shook his head, "I’m afraid you’ve made this trip in vain. Memphis Arlington left Hidden Peak seven or eight years ago... I initially thought he had gone back to the Endless Sect for his disciples, but it seems that’s not the case."

The words from the burly elder made Wyatt Barnes’s expression stiff.

Memphis Arlington had already left Hidden Peak seven or eight years ago?

Seven or eight years ago?

At that time, the Endless Sect hadn’t yet encountered any disaster.

And the junior Sect Master of the Endless Sect had thought that Memphis Arlington was in ’Hidden Peak,’ which means, Memphis Arlington hadn’t returned to the Endless Sect.

"So, we really made this trip in vain."

Wyatt Barnes revealed a bitter smile at the corner of his lips and shook his head.

Memphis Arlington had left Hidden Peak and was nowhere to be found.

The size of Green Forest Royal Country was enormous; even if it were the Martial Emperor in his prime, he might not be able to find Memphis Arlington without any leads.

"Thank you, elder."

Wyatt Barnes greeted the burly elder before leaving with Jovie and Fill Bear.

"Fill Bear, where else would Memphis Arlington go besides the Hidden Peak?"

Grasping at the last shred of hope, Wyatt Barnes asked Fill Bear.

Fill Bear let out a bitter laugh, "Young Master, I have no idea."

Although Fill Bear was the Protector of the Endless Sect, he had also only joined the Endless Sect later on and had never seen Memphis Arlington.

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

He knew that trying to find Memphis Arlington now would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

He would have to put this matter aside for now.

"Let’s go!"

Wyatt Barnes called out to Jovie Lee. The two spurred their horses and rode down the mountain following the wide and even mountain path. They left Hidden Peak.

Fill Bear rode right behind them, shadowing them.

They say it’s easier to go downhill than uphill, and it’s true.

The time Wyatt Barnes and the others took to reach the foot of Hidden Peak was only half of what they took going uphill...

Even more, this was only if the time they spent gathering information about Memphis Arlington on the way up was excluded.

"Scoundrel, let’s go to Feya Inn to bid farewell to Sister Ann King and Brother Graham."

Jovie Lee suggested with a smile to Wyatt Barnes. She was still charming despite her face being veiled.

"Okay."

Wyatt Barnes revealed a gentle expression and lightly nodded his head.

"Yah!"

Just at that moment, an alarmed shout could be heard in the distance.

A young man dressed in blue clothes was speeding towards the direction of Hidden Peak on his horse. He was followed closely by an old man.

"Let’s go."

Wyatt Barnes gave the blue-clothed young man a quick glance, called out to Jovie and Fill Bear, and prepared to leave Hidden Peak.

Just then.

"Halt!"

Wyatt Barnes noticed that the blue-clothed young man, just as he was about to pass them and head into Hidden Peak, seemed to have noticed something. He suddenly pulled back on his horse’s reins and made his horse halt abruptly.

With a flurry of dust, the young man’s horse came to a stop.

When Wyatt Barnes saw the lascivious lustful gaze in the blue-clothed young man’s eyes, his face fell instantly.
