"Old friend... for Warren’s matter, I owe you an apology!" Faced with the travel-weary ’Russel Yorke,’ Maximus Lee spoke up first to apologize, not waiting for Russel to greet him, a look of guilt on his face. Russel Yorke was a tall, ordinary-looking old man with white hair and white eyebrows, standing there like an iron tower. In response to Maximus Lee’s apology, Russel Yorke shook his head, "I understand your difficulties. If I were in your shoes, I would have made the same choice as you... So, I don’t blame you for Warren’s death." He had already learned about the situation that day from the ’old slave’ who followed his son, so he could understand Maximus Lee’s choice. If Maximus Lee had intervened then, the matter would have certainly escalated. Concerning the reputation of the Fire Worship Sect, the senior figures of the sect would most likely choose to abandon Maximus Lee to protect the sect’s reputation. At that time, Maximus Lee would most likely be expelled from the ’Fire Worship Sect’! Therefore, he could understand Maximus Lee’s act of not saving him at that time. "Rest assured, I will definitely avenge Warren’s death for him!" Faced with Russel Yorke’s understanding, Maximus Lee felt even more guilty, his gaze turned cold, and he swore earnestly. "Take me to see the person who killed my son." However, it seemed that Russel Yorke was indifferent to Maximus Lee’s earnest promise, he looked at Maximus Lee and said calmly. Hearing Russel Yorke say he wanted to see Wyatt Barnes, Maximus Lee was not surprised and immediately led the way. On the road, seeing Russel Yorke silent, Maximus Lee also knew that although Russel said he didn’t blame him, there must be some resentment towards him in his heart. However, this was normal, and he didn’t mind. "That Wyatt Barnes killed a direct disciple I was about to take under my wing ten days ago... He must die, otherwise I won’t be able to eat or sleep in peace!" Suddenly, Maximus Lee spoke in a somber tone, his eyes filled with killing intent. Although he mentioned this to Russel Yorke partly because he genuinely hated Wyatt Barnes, it was also to break the silent atmosphere between him and Russel Yorke. "A direct disciple you were about to take under your wing?" Sure enough, upon hearing Maximus Lee’s words, Russel Yorke looked over immediately, a surprised expression on his face as he looked at Maximus. As far as he knew, Maximus Lee had very high standards. His three direct disciples were all Martial Dao geniuses with ’azure spiritual roots.’ Maximus Lee nodded and then told Russel Yorke about ’Arlo Drake,’ and mentioned Arlo Drake’s cousin ’Long Drake,’ and how Long Drake was killed by Wyatt Barnes. As he spoke, his eyes radiated ferocity, and his body exuded a chilling killing intent, as if the temperature around him had dropped a few degrees. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵 "Now I’m even more curious... What kind of person would dare to offend you, the top Elder Silver Flame of the Black Tortoise Altar, to such an extent!" It must be said, Maximus Lee’s ’complaint’ made Russel Yorke feel much more balanced mentally. It turns out, the one who died was not only his son, but also Maximus Lee’s long-desired direct disciple with an ’azure spiritual root’! At this moment, facing Maximus Lee, Russel Yorke had a feeling of ’sharing the same fate,’ any remaining dissatisfaction in his heart vanished. "Did you hear? That newcomer ’Wyatt Barnes,’ after killing Long Drake ten days ago, has made another big splash today!" While passing by the center altar of the Black Tortoise Altar, Maximus Lee and Russel Yorke suddenly heard a disciple of the Black Tortoise Altar shouting from below. Because Maximus and Russel were traveling above the clouds, the people around the altar below didn’t notice them... Otherwise, the disciples around the altar would have come up to greet Maximus Lee. Upon hearing the name ’Wyatt Barnes,’ Maximus Lee and Russel Yorke exchanged glances and simultaneously stopped, listening intently to the conversation between the Black Tortoise Altar disciples below. "Are you talking about Wyatt Barnes challenging for the ’B Type Room’ today, strongly defeating Senior Brother Cameron Graham?" "Correct! Looks like you’ve heard too." "How could I not hear about it? Now, as long as they’re not in closed-door cultivation or have left the Black Tortoise Altar, few disciples wouldn’t know about this news, right?" "Speaking of which, that Wyatt Barnes is really fierce! Even Cameron Graham can be defeated by him." The conversation between the two Black Tortoise Altar disciples drifted clearly into Maximus Lee and Russel Yorke’s ears. Russel Yorke’s pupils suddenly contracted. Though not a member of the Fire Worship Sect, Russel knew some details about the residences of Black Tortoise Altar disciples from Maximus Lee, his close friend. As far as he knew, those residing in the B Type Rooms were Black Tortoise Altar disciples above the ’Heavenly Saint Realm’! "Maximus, didn’t you just say, ten days ago Wyatt Barnes only demonstrated strength comparable to the elite among ’Earth Saint Realm Martial Artists’... How could it be that after just ten days, he can contest for the B Type Room of the Black Tortoise Altar disciples?" Russel Yorke frowned at Maximus Lee, questioning him. A moment later, before Maximus could respond, Russel continued, "I remember you told me before... the B Type Rooms in the Black Tortoise Altar are reserved for Heavenly Saint Realm disciples! That ’Cameron Graham’ they mentioned, was he a Heavenly Saint Realm disciple residing in a B Type Room?" After Russel Yorke finished speaking, Maximus Lee didn’t respond. Soon after, Russel Yorke was shocked to find that Maximus Lee, who was initially somewhat dazed, had a drastically changed expression, displaying disbelief, with eyes filled with astonishment. Seeing this, Russel Yorke couldn’t help but ask. "Cameron Graham is a direct disciple of an Elder Silver Flame in our Black Tortoise Segment. He’s one of the outstanding disciples in the early stages of the Heavenly Saint Realm in the Black Tortoise Segment, and his cultivation is strong, merely a step away from the ’mid-Heavenly Saint Realm’!" Maximus Lee said with a serious expression. "An outstanding disciple in the early stages of the Heavenly Saint Realm in the Black Tortoise Segment? Such a person actually lost to Wyatt Barnes?" Russel Yorke was shocked. However, the more shocking part was yet to come! "I heard that Brother Cameron Graham used a high-level attack divine ability ’Fist Breaks Mountains and Rivers’ in his battle with Wyatt Barnes... But even so, he still lost!" Upon hearing a disciple from the Black Tortoise Segment say these words, Maximus Lee’s pupils shrank again, and he showed a fearful and incredulous expression. "How is that possible?!" Maximus Lee couldn’t help but exclaim. "Even with a high-level attack divine ability, he still lost to Wyatt Barnes?" Russel Yorke’s face grew serious, then he murmured, "It seems... even the battle with Long Drake ten days ago, Wyatt Barnes might not have exerted his full strength!" Immediately afterward, Maximus Lee and Russel Yorke further learned about the details of today’s battle between Wyatt Barnes and Cameron Graham, missing not a single detail. Later, they exchanged glances and saw the shocking expression in each other’s eyes. Wyatt Barnes actually mastered three ’high-level divine abilities’? Additionally, the ’high-level auxiliary divine ability’ mastered by Wyatt Barnes played a crucial role by absorbing Cameron Graham’s powerful incoming energy, and then unleashed it combined with his own power, severely injuring and defeating Cameron Graham! "What kind of auxiliary divine ability is that?" Maximus Lee and Russel Yorke exchanged glances, once again seeing the shocking expression in each other’s eyes. Soon, they learned from each other that neither had ever heard of such an auxiliary divine ability before. "Such a domineering auxiliary divine ability!" Russel Yorke said solemnly. "It’s indeed domineering! That Wyatt Barnes, what virtue and capability, could receive such favor from heaven, not only comprehending three high-level divine abilities, but the auxiliary divine ability clearly isn’t an ordinary high-level divine ability... It might even be a top-tier, first-rate high-level divine ability!" Maximus Lee said towards the end, his eyes turned red, and he showed a crazed expression of jealousy. Residence of the Black Tortoise Segment’s disciples. In the ’B Chamber,’ Wyatt Barnes, who had regained some strength, finally stood up. After standing up, he immediately entered the fourth layer of the Seven-Treasure Jewel Tower, intending to use the slow time flow inside to quickly recover his Sun Saint Power. The feeling of emptiness within his body left him without any sense of security. "Once I’ve recovered, I’ll go into seclusion for cultivation, first elevating my complete strength to the ’peak of the Human Saint Realm’!" At the same time, Wyatt Barnes set a goal and plan for himself. As for the ’Earth Saint Realm,’ Wyatt Barnes didn’t dare to consider it for the time being. Currently, his complete strength had just broken through to the ’mid-Human Saint Realm’ at most. Wyatt Barnes didn’t know how much time had passed, his ’Sun Saint Power’ just restored about one-tenth when an indifferent voice suddenly echoed outside, completely waking him up. To Wyatt Barnes, this voice was not unfamiliar, it was the voice of that first Elder Silver Flame of the Black Tortoise Segment, ’Maximus Lee’. "What’s he doing here? Could it be that Cameron Graham also has some relation to him?" Wyatt Barnes furrowed his brows and then left the Seven-Treasure Jewel Tower. After putting away the Seven-Treasure Jewel Tower, he opened the door and walked out to the courtyard in front of the B Chamber. As Wyatt Barnes exited the B Chamber, he clearly felt eyes falling on him... Among these eyes, two were the most piercing. These two gazes were full of chilling murderous intent, ready to devour people! Wyatt Barnes’ gaze swept past Maximus Lee and landed on the tall elderly man beside him, showing a look of confusion. He wasn’t surprised that Maximus Lee held murderous intent towards him. But the elder, he was sure he was seeing him for the first time. Moreover, the elder was not wearing clothing exclusive to the Fire Worship Sect, mostly likely he wasn’t a member of the sect. Wyatt Barnes couldn’t understand how he had offended this elder, causing such a murderous intent as if he wished to kill him immediately! "Are you Wyatt Barnes?" It was at this moment that the tall elder spoke with an extremely low voice, almost interrogating in tone. Faced with the elder’s interrogating tone, Wyatt Barnes retorted. "You... end yourself here!" Under the watchful eyes of all, the tall elder looked at Wyatt Barnes, speaking slowly, his words unstoppably commanding!
