The group of Black Tortoise Platform disciples who came out to watch the commotion after hearing Maximus Lee call Wyatt Barnes were stunned by the words of the tall old man next to Maximus Lee. For a moment, they were dumbstruck, and only returned to their senses after a while. This old man actually asked Wyatt Barnes to commit suicide? At this moment, the disciples of the Black Tortoise Platform were all curious about the ’identity’ of the tall old man in front of them. Hearing the tall old man’s words to himself, Wyatt Barnes was first taken aback, then his eyes narrowed into slits, a cold gleam flashing by. He sensed the killing intent revealed by the old man when he looked at him, combined with the words the old man had just said to him, plus the fact that the old man was standing beside Maximus Lee... At this moment, even if Wyatt Barnes were slower to react, he had already guessed the identity of this tall old man in front of him: Russel Yorke, Fifth Elder of North Qizong! Also the biological father of the ’Warren Yorke’ he had killed in the past! As far as he knew, Russel Yorke and Maximus Lee were close friends. "Russel Yorke, this isn’t North Qizong, and I’m not a disciple of North Qizong... You want me to commit suicide, that’s a bit of a pipe dream, isn’t it?" Wyatt Barnes, rising in the air and halting at the same level as Russel Yorke, lazily glanced at Russel Yorke and said indifferently. As soon as Wyatt Barnes spoke, he caused a commotion among the surrounding disciples of the Black Tortoise Platform. "Turns out he’s Russel Yorke, the Fifth Elder of North Qizong! Ranked 146th on the Extreme Saint Ranking!" "I’ve long heard that North Qizong’s Fifth Elder ’Russel Yorke’ and our Black Tortoise Platform’s Elder Maximus Lee are close friends, but today is the first time I’ve seen this Fifth Elder of North Qizong... He seems to have a grudge with Wyatt Barnes?" "Wyatt Barnes offended Elder Maximus Lee as soon as he arrived at the Black Tortoise Platform, which is no secret here... However, not everyone knows the initial reason for Wyatt Barnes offending Elder Maximus Lee." "Initial reason? What reason?" "Wyatt Barnes was provoked by Warren Yorke, the son of this North Qizong Fifth Elder Russel Yorke, as soon as he arrived at the Black Tortoise Platform. Warren Yorke then issued a ’Life and Death Battle’ challenge! The result of the Life and Death Battle was Warren Yorke’s death! At that time, Elder Maximus Lee was present." "I see... He killed the son of Elder Maximus Lee’s friend right in front of him. It’s no wonder Elder Maximus Lee is upset!" "You can’t put it that way... Remember, the conflict between Wyatt Barnes and Warren Yorke was purely Warren Yorke’s provocation, and Warren Yorke initiated the Life and Death Battle! Anyway, I don’t think Wyatt Barnes was wrong to kill Warren Yorke." ... Googlᴇ search 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵 Among the whispers, those disciples of the Black Tortoise Platform who originally did not know how Wyatt Barnes offended Maximus Lee also learned the initial reason for Wyatt Barnes’s offense. So, recalling the words just spoken by this North Qizong Fifth Elder ’Russel Yorke’ to Wyatt Barnes, they were no longer surprised. They only felt Russel Yorke was overly arrogant! Does he really think this is North Qizong, and does he think his identity as ’North Qizong Fifth Elder’ is useful here? "I’ll give you one last chance... Commit suicide on the spot within ten breaths! Miss this chance, and you won’t have another." Russel Yorke spoke again, asking Wyatt Barnes to commit suicide once more, and gave him a time limit, ten breaths. His words were extremely domineering! As if Wyatt Barnes not committing suicide within ten breaths would lead to severe retaliation against him. Upon hearing Russel Yorke’s words, Wyatt Barnes, though feeling a trace of ominous premonition in his heart, quickly suppressed it forcibly, then looked at Russel Yorke with a mocking smile, "Russel Yorke, is there something wrong with your ears?" "If your ears are defective, I’ll tell you again!" At this point, Wyatt Barnes was full of disdain, "This isn’t your North Qizong, your identity as ’North Qizong Fifth Elder’ is useless here! Ten breaths? Even with a hundred breaths, if I don’t commit suicide, what can you do?" "What, are you going to kill me? Don’t forget, this is the ’Black Tortoise Platform,’ one of the Four Symbols Platforms under the Fire Worship Sect’s command! It’s not a place where you, Russel Yorke, can act recklessly!" "Here, Russel Yorke, you don’t even have the qualifications to boss around a disciple of the Fire Worship Sect, let alone the right to decide the life and death of any Fire Worship Sect disciple!" Wyatt Barnes spoke firmly, unceremoniously. Someone came knocking at his door, asking him to commit suicide, if he still acted politely, then he’d truly be humiliating himself! That’s not Wyatt Barnes’s style! And Wyatt Barnes’s words also garnered the approval of the surrounding Black Tortoise Platform disciples. Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, many Black Tortoise Platform disciples felt their blood boil. If not for their fear of Maximus Lee standing next to Russel Yorke, they would have already cheered loudly for Wyatt Barnes. Russel Yorke didn’t expect Wyatt Barnes to be so rude, and his face instantly turned dark. Beside him, Maximus Lee’s expression changed dramatically in an instant, and he then shouted coldly, "Wyatt Barnes, Elder Russel Yorke is a guest of our Black Tortoise Platform! As a disciple of the Black Tortoise Platform, how dare you be so rude to our esteemed guest? Do you really think our Fire Worship Sect’s ’rules’ are dead?" Maximus Lee’s words instantly caused several Black Tortoise Platform disciples to reveal strange expressions. Wyatt Barnes, the person involved, couldn’t help but laugh heartily, making Maximus Lee’s face look increasingly displeased, his eyes filled with murderous intent. If it wasn’t for the fear of punishment from the Fire Worship Sect, possibly even being expelled, he would have already been unable to stop himself from taking action against Wyatt Barnes, tearing him into pieces! "Why are you laughing?!" Maximus Lee shouted coldly once more, his voice chilling as if emerging from an ice cave, making those who heard it feel a vague sense of creepiness. Upon hearing Maximus Lee’s cold shout, Wyatt Barnes stopped laughing and then looked at Maximus with a mocking smile, "Elder Maximus Lee, aren’t you just asking what you already know?" "What esteemed guest at our Black Tortoise Altar... by my words, he is actually your esteemed guest, Elder Maximus Lee!" "Sect rules? Elder Maximus Lee, are you sure you want to discuss sect rules with me?" "Although, I don’t really understand the rules of the Fire Worship Sect... but I believe, with so many years of tradition, the rules must be quite comprehensive!" "Among them, there must be rules against those in the sect teaming up with outsiders to oppress their own." Saying this, Wyatt Barnes gave Maximus Lee a meaningful glance, effectively labeling Maximus with the crime of colluding with outsiders to oppress sect disciples. "Who are you accusing of colluding with outsiders to oppress their own?!" Maximus Lee’s face greatly changed, he did not expect Wyatt Barnes to boldly attach such a ’crime’ to him in public, this would cause him considerable trouble if it spread. Even within the Black Tortoise Altar, there is still a ’Altar Master’ suppressing Maximus Lee. Let alone the entire ’Fire Worship Sect’! "Wyatt Barnes, do you know what kind of crime it is to slander, especially to falsely accuse a sect elder?" Maximus Lee’s gaze turned cold, staring closely at Wyatt Barnes like a venomous snake ready to strike at any moment. "Slander? Falsely accuse a sect elder?" Wyatt Barnes laughed brightly, "Elder Maximus Lee, you say I’m slandering? But do you know who I’m accusing? You say I falsely accuse a sect elder... where is this coming from? With so many brothers and sisters present, pull out anyone and they are a ’witness’, who heard me falsely accuse a sect elder?" Hearing Wyatt Barnes’ nearly ’rogue’ words, the Black Tortoise Altar disciples present couldn’t help but smile. Of course, out of fear of Maximus Lee, they dared not laugh out loud. Actually, hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, they all felt a sense of satisfaction. Just now, Maximus Lee’s actions clearly involved colluding with outsiders to oppress a sect disciple, even though they weren’t Wyatt Barnes, they felt anger on his behalf. If Maximus Lee was just oppressing Wyatt Barnes solo, it would merely be ’internal strife’, which they wouldn’t find problematic. But Maximus Lee colluding with North Nether Sect’s Fifth Elder ’Russel Yorke’ to oppress Wyatt Barnes, that’s an entirely different nature, as fellow disciples of the Fire Worship Sect at Black Tortoise Altar, they naturally felt the same way. Outsiders are, ultimately, outsiders! Hearing Wyatt Barnes’ rogue words, Maximus Lee was rendered speechless with rage. Thinking carefully now, Wyatt Barnes indeed did not specifically name him ’Maximus Lee’ for colluding with outsiders to oppress sect disciples. If he persisted further, it would appear he is guilty himself. "Indeed, quite some maneuvering!" Meanwhile, Russel Yorke spoke again, looking at Wyatt Barnes, he commented indifferently, "Wyatt Barnes, the time of ten breaths has passed, you gave up the chance to quell my anger through self-sacrifice... I hope you won’t regret it in the future!" Wyatt Barnes sneered, "What is there for me to regret!" "Originally, some words might be hard to express even if you had a ’green spirit root’... because of my fear of the Fire Worship Sect!" Facing Wyatt Barnes’ sneer, even Russel Yorke who is normally tolerant, was angered, "However, you Wyatt Barnes, are just a mediocrity with a ’yellow spirit root’... I can say these words clearly, and the Fire Worship Sect won’t target me Russel Yorke because of you!" "Yes! As long as Wyatt Barnes remains within the Fire Worship Sect, I can’t touch you... But can you guarantee that all your friends and family have the influence to make me Russel Yorke cautious?" Speaking to this point, Russel Yorke coldly smiled, a sinister smile. In his words, he directly threatens Wyatt Barnes! I can’t get to you, but I can target your friends and family! "I believe, with the intelligence capabilities of my North Nether Sect and my personal strength and means, finding out your ’background’ won’t be difficult." Russel Yorke commented indifferently, "It’s a pity you didn’t sacrifice yourself within the time frame, giving up the chance to protect your friends and family... I truly pity them for having a friend like you!" "Wyatt Barnes, even if you spend your entire life sheltered in the Fire Worship Sect, I will ensure you experience the pain of losing all friends and family!" "I, Russel Yorke, Fifth Elder of North Nether Sect, keep my word!"
