After swallowing Hudson Anderson’s talent root, Wyatt Barnes’s talent root further transformed, turning into a ’blue root’. However, after swallowing Kenny Anderson’s talent root, his talent root showed no significant change. Wyatt was not surprised by this. Kenny Anderson’s talent root, although it was also a ’green root’, was insignificant compared to his current blue root! For his blue root to evolve further, it was undoubtedly a long and difficult journey. Swallowing a green root was just a drop in the bucket. With a thought, Wyatt withdrew the ’Ten Thousand Swords Domain’ and reappeared in front of a group of Vermilion Bird Altar disciples. However, as Wyatt withdrew his domain, the attention of the Vermilion Bird Altar disciples did not fall on him but instead on the two bodies falling to the ground. The two bodies hit the ground heavily, making two dull sounds. The next moment, the entire scene fell into dead silence. While the Vermilion Bird Altar disciples were still in shock. Wyatt communicated to Augustine Landon about the trouble the Fifth Elder of the North Primal Sect, Russel Yorke, had caused him, also explaining his purpose here, and additionally passed on the ’secret method’ to resist the ’Soul Search Technique’ to Augustine. "Junior Brother Wyatt, you better run... Otherwise, if our Vermilion Bird Altar’s Law Enforcement Elder arrives, you won’t be able to escape even if you want to!" Augustine urged Wyatt, his tone full of urgency. In his view, Wyatt killing the Anderson brothers was akin to challenging the authority of the Fire Worship Sect. With such actions, the Fire Worship Sect would never let Wyatt off! "Senior Brother Augustine, don’t worry... I have my way to handle this matter." Facing Augustine’s urging, Wyatt’s expression remained unchanged, instead responding to Augustine with a confident smile. Which left Augustine bewildered. Where does his Junior Brother Wyatt’s confidence come from? To murder fellow sect members in the Fire Worship Sect, it’s no minor offense! Meanwhile, the assembled Vermilion Bird Altar disciples regained their senses, and when they looked at Wyatt again, their eyes showed some degree of apprehension. Wyatt’s ruthlessness, at this moment, was etched deeply into their minds! "This Wyatt Barnes, he really is capable of anything... even Kenny Anderson got killed by him!" "Ruthless! Truly ruthless! I never expected such a ruthless person to come out of the Black Tortoise Altar." "From what I know, before entering the Black Tortoise Altar, he was already a ruthless person... Otherwise, he wouldn’t have offended the first Elder Silver Flame of Black Tortoise Altar, Maximus Lee, by killing the Fifth Elder’s son of North Primal Sect, Warren Yorke." "However, no matter how ruthless he is, today he will fall! Killing fellow sect members isn’t a minor charge, it’s a life for a life!" Many Vermilion Bird Altar disciples whispered among themselves, all believing that Wyatt was in big trouble today, and was likely going to pay with his life for the Anderson brothers! "It’s a pity that his talent root is only a ’yellow root’... If he had a ’blue root’ or higher, along with mastering three high-level Divine Abilities, not to mention killing the Anderson brothers, he could even kill several more people, and those above would at most give him a symbolic punishment, not really make him pay with his life!" "Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel! Wyatt Barnes’s talent root has already been confirmed to be a ’yellow root’ when he was at the Black Tortoise Altar... So, he is undoubtedly doomed today!" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵 "Such a talent, skilled in comprehending and grasping advanced Divine Abilities, about to be executed... It truly feels like a waste!" A group of Vermilion Bird Altar disciples whispered once again, few believed that Wyatt could survive. "I wonder if this Wyatt Barnes, knowing he’s doomed, will escape... Although the chance of escaping isn’t great, if he doesn’t try, he certainly won’t have any chance of survival!" "If it were me, even knowing the chance of escaping isn’t great, I would definitely take the gamble! If I win, I’d win my life, and could continue living comfortably." "Judging by his demeanor, he doesn’t seem to intend to flee." Amid the discussions, many Vermilion Bird Altar disciples focused their gaze on Wyatt, only to find that he had stood there for a long time without showing any intention of leaving. The next moment, upon seeing Wyatt’s actions, they were stunned. Wyatt flew out but didn’t leave the residence of the Vermilion Bird Altar disciples, instead landing in front of the ’Beta House’ where Hudson previously lived, sitting down at the stone table in the courtyard. Wyatt sat there quietly, as if waiting for something. Before long, a Vermilion Bird Altar Elder Silver Flame arrived tardily. Seeing this Elder Silver Flame, the present Vermilion Bird Altar disciples saluted him respectfully, not daring to show any negligence. The newcomer was a fat elder, short and stout, almost round like a ball. Especially his chubby face, which was squeezed into just a pair of small eyes. But it was precisely those small eyes that were more vibrant and piercing than anyone else’s. "The Law Enforcement Elder of the Vermilion Bird Altar?" As everyone greeted the fat elder, Wyatt Barnes vaguely guessed the identity of the visitor. Guided by a few disciples of the Vermilion Bird Altar, the Law Enforcement Elder ’Yale Wade’ noticed the corpses of the Anderson brothers, and his fat face instantly turned gloomy, his small eyes emitting an intimidating cold light. "You must be Wyatt Barnes?" Still under the guidance of the Vermilion Bird Altar disciples, Yale Wade’s gaze fell on Wyatt Barnes. When he saw Wyatt sitting there leisurely with crossed legs, he became furious. Taking a deep breath, Yale Wade suddenly shouted, commanding Wyatt to stand up with a tone full of authority and undeniable intent. Hearing Yale Wade’s shout, all the disciples present of the Vermilion Bird Altar couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts. They all knew that although their Vermilion Bird Altar’s Law Enforcement Elder appeared harmless, he was indeed very formidable. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become the Law Enforcement Elder of the Vermilion Bird Altar! "Brother Wyatt, he is our Vermilion Bird Altar’s Law Enforcement Elder ’Yale Wade’. Although he seems harmless, he is not so in reality... Try to comply with him; otherwise, who knows what he might do!" Augustine Landon immediately transmitted a worried reminder to Wyatt Barnes. Upon hearing Yale Wade’s shout, Wyatt Barnes squinted his eyes, then slowly stood up, left the courtyard, and stepped into the air. After arriving not far from Yale Wade, Wyatt slightly bent his body and cupped his hands in greeting, "Greetings, Elder Wade!" "I’m unworthy of such courtesy!" Facing Wyatt’s greeting, Yale Wade’s expression eased slightly, but his tone remained as overbearing as ever. "I am the Law Enforcement Elder of the Vermilion Bird Altar ’Yale Wade’. Today, I came here for the matter of our disciples ’Hudson Anderson’ and ’Kenny Anderson’ being killed... You, Wyatt Barnes, a disciple of the Black Tortoise Altar, ignored the Fire Worship Sect’s regulations and killed Vermilion Bird Altar disciples Hudson and Kenny Anderson." "Do you confess to your crimes?" As he spoke, Yale Wade’s small eyes suddenly narrowed, and an aura of sternness emanated from him. This powerful aura surged forth, like roaring waves crashing toward Wyatt Barnes. If it were an ordinary person, they might have already paled facing the aura Yale Wade exuded. But Wyatt Barnes remained unmoved, standing firm like a mountain, unaffected. Seeing this, Yale Wade’s gaze involuntarily filled with astonishment. "Elder Wade, if I recall correctly... regardless of whether I plead guilty, today’s matter shouldn’t be judged by you, right? After all, I’m not a disciple of the Vermilion Bird Altar." Wyatt Barnes looked at Yale Wade, speaking leisurely. In the Fire Worship Sect’s Four Symbols Altar, there are rules: any disciple who errs is judged only by the Law Enforcement Elder of that altar. The Law Enforcement Elders of other altars can only judge their own disciples and have no authority to judge disciples from the other three altars. Therefore, even if Wyatt Barnes killed someone at the Vermilion Bird Altar, violating the Fire Worship Sect’s ’regulations’, the final determination of the crime and the punishment judgment must be made by the Law Enforcement Elder of his own Black Tortoise Altar. "You know the rules!" Hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Yale Wade snorted coldly, then said, "Before coming here, I already dispatched another Elder Silver Flame from our Vermilion Bird Altar to invite your Black Tortoise Altar’s Law Enforcement Elder... It won’t be long before Elder Abraham Clifford arrives." Abraham Clifford is the Law Enforcement Elder of the Black Tortoise Altar! Wyatt Barnes nodded lightly. Then, under the incredulous gaze of everyone present, including Yale Wade, he turned around and swaggered into the ’Beta House’ where Hudson Anderson resided before his death, closing the door behind him casually. Immediately following, Wyatt Barnes’ voice rang out again, "Elder Wade, call me once Elder Abraham arrives!" Wyatt’s words left a group of Vermilion Bird Altar disciples dumbfounded. Isn’t this too audacious? As for the Vermilion Bird Altar’s Law Enforcement Elder ’Yale Wade’, his fat face trembled in anger, his small eyes flickering with intimidating cold light. If looks could kill, Wyatt Barnes would have been killed countless times by him. Even though Augustine Landon considered himself somewhat familiar and knowledgeable about Wyatt Barnes, seeing Wyatt act so ’audaciously’ left him feeling that Wyatt had become somewhat unfamiliar, making him completely unreadable. He wouldn’t think like the other Vermilion Bird Altar disciples, feeling that Wyatt was courting death. In his view, since Brother Wyatt dared to act this way, he must have some confidence... As for what kind of confidence, he still didn’t know for the moment. Elsewhere, as the Black Tortoise Altar’s Law Enforcement Elder ’Abraham Clifford’ received the news and hurried to the Vermilion Bird Altar. The Black Tortoise Altar’s first Elder Silver Flame ’Maximus Lee’ also received the news, almost arriving at the Vermilion Bird Altar right after Abraham Clifford. Maximus Lee’s face, looking very unpleasant.
