Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2741: Chapter 2741: Lord Patel

"Did it work?"

Hearing the words of the man in the white robe, Crue Dragonsmith knew that Wyatt Barnes had agreed to his terms and reached a ’transaction’ with him.

Although he didn’t know what the man in the white robe’s conditions were.

But he was certain:

Those conditions couldn’t possibly be simple.

Since the goal had been achieved, after bidding farewell to the man in the white robe, Crue Dragonsmith took Francis Bushell and left with Wyatt Barnes.

Bam!

As soon as the three of them exited the mansion’s gate, it closed automatically behind them.

This time, even Wyatt Barnes wasn’t surprised.

After all, that man in the white robe was someone whose strength was formidable, at least of the ’Immortal Lord’ level.

"Thirteenth Prince... How did you come to know Brother Patel?"

On the way back, Wyatt Barnes asked Crue Dragonsmith.

With the strength of that man in the white robe, if he wanted to help Crue Dragonsmith ascend to the throne of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, it would be easy.

However, at present, it seemed that the man in the white robe did not intend to help Crue Dragonsmith.

"More than a year ago."

Ernesto Dragonsmith’s eyes flashed with a trace of reminiscence. "At that time, Francis Bushell hadn’t come to find me yet... On an outing, the Love Rowan Upper Immortal given to me by Father was lured away, and I was nearly killed. It was Brother Patel who saved me in the end."

"However... before Brother Patel saved me, he talked to me about a condition, which was to let me give him an item I had. That item was something I accidentally obtained a few years ago. Although not particularly valuable, it was very rare and had some collectible value."

Crue Dragonsmith said, "Facing life and death, it was impossible for me to still think about holding onto that item... After all, if I lost my life, that item wouldn’t be mine either."

Wyatt Barnes suddenly understood, and didn’t expect Crue Dragonsmith to have met the man in the white robe this way.

"After that time, I knew that Brother Patel’s strength was extraordinary... At the time, he had just arrived in our Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation. I initially wanted to win him over, inviting him to the imperial palace, to my residence, but he refused, so in the end, I could only arrange a mansion for him outside."

"It was that mansion just now."

Crue Dragonsmith spoke with a bitter smile, "I thought, having accepted my mansion, he would be willing to help me fight against my Fourth Brother and Seventh Brother... yet not long after, he took the initiative to tell me that he would not get involved in these matters."

"Later on, whenever I had any peculiar items, I would send them to him... Gradually, we became familiar, but only familiar strangers, so to speak."

Speaking of this, Crue Dragonsmith couldn’t help but show a bitter smile again.

"Later, although he helped me a lot, most of it was guidance on cultivation... Yet, I am content with that, because I’ve realized he indeed doesn’t intend to meddle in the struggle for the throne within our Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s Imperial Family."

Crue Dragonsmith said, "So afterwards, I just gave up and regarded him as my mentor and friend..."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

For someone like the man in the white robe, once he decided on something, he certainly wouldn’t change easily.

Since he said he wouldn’t intervene in the struggle for the throne in the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s Imperial Family, then he certainly wouldn’t.

"Thirteenth Prince, do you know why he is unwilling to get involved in your Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s Imperial Family contest for the throne and help you ascend to the throne of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation?"

Wyatt Barnes asked.

"I speculate that he might fear the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect... including the three great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory, which issued a proclamation many years ago that they would not allow anyone above the ’Immortal Lord’ level to interfere in the succession of various Immortal Kingdoms’ Imperial Families, and those who violate this will be jointly hunted by the three great Immortal Sects!"

When Crue Dragonsmith said this, his gaze flickered. "Initially, I just guessed that Brother Patel might be an Immortal Lord powerhouse... until Francis Bushell came and stayed by my side. After he met him, I finally confirmed that Brother Patel is indeed an Immortal Lord powerhouse!"

Hearing Crue Dragonsmith’s words, Wyatt Barnes glanced at Francis Bushell, only to see that this Love Rowan Upper Immortal looked extremely apprehensive upon hearing the name ’Brother Patel.’

As if that man in the white robe was some terrifying beast to him.

"Is he afraid of the three great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory and thus dares not interfere in the succession of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s Imperial Family?"

Wyatt Barnes wondered to himself, but ultimately he felt:

This is simply a huge joke!

Just from the demeanor the man in the white robe had previously exhibited, it was clear he didn’t take the three great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory seriously at all.

"Thirteenth Prince."

Wyatt Barnes looked at Crue Dragonsmith and changed the subject, "Do you know... whether there are ’Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts’ among the three great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory?"

"Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts?"

Almost the moment Wyatt Barnes finished speaking, Crue Dragonsmith was first taken aback, then smiled bitterly, "Brother Barnes, you overestimate the three great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory... Not to mention ’Emperor Grade Immortal Artifacts,’ even ’King Grade Immortal Artifacts’ are rare, with only one in the Taiyi Immortal Sect."

"Throughout the entire Desolate Territory... there’s only one ’King Grade Immortal Artifact’!"

Crue Dragonsmith said.

Hearing Crue Dragonsmith’s words, Wyatt Barnes was taken aback, completely not expecting that the mighty three great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory would have only one ’King Grade Immortal Artifact’ among them, and it was the only one in the Desolate Territory.

"Isn’t this a bit too shabby?"

Wyatt Barnes mused silently.

Crue Dragonsmith had no idea what Wyatt Barnes was thinking; otherwise, Crue Dragonsmith would undoubtedly roll his eyes at Wyatt Barnes, thinking he was daydreaming.

Royal Immortal Artifacts, such rare treasures...

Are they something you can have just because you want them?

"Thirteenth Prince, do you know the ’Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’?"

Wyatt Barnes inquired.

"Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect? Of course I know!"

Crue Dragonsmith nodded, then asked puzzledly, "Why are you suddenly asking about the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect? Do you have some connection to the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect?"

"I just heard someone mention this Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect and was curious... How does the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect compare to the Three Great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory?"

Wyatt Barnes’ gaze flickered as he asked.

"The Three Great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory can’t compare to the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect; they’re not on the same level at all."

Crue Dragonsmith said, "Not to mention, if we talk about Royal Immortal Artifacts... Among the Three Great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory, only the Taiyi Immortal Sect was lucky enough to obtain one early on. The Dragon Warrior Sect and the Thousand Spider Sect don’t have any Royal Immortal Artifacts."

"Meanwhile, the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect has three Royal Immortal Artifacts... I heard one of their Royal Immortal Artifacts was lost, but it seems it was recovered a few years ago."

Crue Dragonsmith explained in one breath.

Wyatt Barnes’ pupils suddenly contracted.

Of course, he knew that the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect artifact Crue Dragonsmith mentioned was ’World-Purifying Duster’. As for the person who recovered it, it was the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect disciple ’Milana Harrington’, with whom he had once shared marital bonds.

"Thirteenth Prince, do you know who retrieved the lost Royal Immortal Artifact of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect?"

Taking a deep breath, Wyatt Barnes asked again.

"I heard it was ’Milana Harrington’, a standout among the younger generation of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect... Although Milana Harrington is a woman, her high level of talent leaves countless men in the dust. In addition, she’s said to be the top candidate for the next Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect."

Crue Dragonsmith replied.

"What a pity for such a great beauty, destined for a life in solitude... It’s said that Milana Harrington is recognized as the ’First Beauty of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect.’

Crue Dragonsmith sighed.

"A life in solitude?"

Wyatt Barnes frowned, "Why do you say that?"

"Brother Barnes, the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect is an all-female sect; it only accepts female disciples, not male disciples... And according to the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s rules, the sect leader must never have any entanglements with men for life. However, the other female disciples of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect aren’t bound by such limitations."

"You see... should a great beauty, especially the first beauty of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, be constrained to a lifetime as the next Sect Leader? Isn’t that a pity?"

Crue Dragonsmith said, then posed a rhetorical question to Wyatt Barnes.

"Humph! That Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect Leader position is not worth doing!"

Wyatt Barnes’ eyes flashed, and he let out a cold snort.

"You can’t say that... Becoming the Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect might mean a lifetime in solitude, but also a lifetime of glory. After all, the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect isn’t an ordinary sect; it’s stronger than the Three Great Immortal Sects of the Desolate Territory!"

Crue Dragonsmith guessed that Wyatt Barnes took issue with the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s rule, unaware that Wyatt Barnes reacted so strongly because he had already deemed the ’First Beauty of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’ his woman.

Wyatt Barnes would never allow his woman a life in solitude.

"One day, I will set foot in the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect and take you away... The position of Sect Leader of Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect is not worth having!"

With his eyes flashing brightly, Wyatt Barnes’ mind was filled with the image of a graceful figure, the same figure he had met once and shared a night with in the Yunyan Immortal Nation, Milana Harrington!

Currently, Wyatt Barnes wasn’t even considering:

Would Milana Harrington be willing to leave with him just because he wished to take her away?

For the rest of the journey, Wyatt’s slightly depressed mood also contributed to the somewhat oppressive atmosphere between him and Crue Dragonsmith.

"Brother Barnes... What’s wrong with you?"

At this time, even Crue Dragonsmith felt that Wyatt Barnes wasn’t quite right, puzzled to the extreme.

It was because he didn’t know about the matters between Wyatt Barnes and Milana Harrington.

If he knew, he surely wouldn’t feel puzzled about this.

Soon, Wyatt Barnes and Crue Dragonsmith returned to the royal palace, returning to the residence of Crue Dragonsmith, where he arranged a guesthouse courtyard for Wyatt and Leilany.

Almost when Wyatt Barnes had just returned.

In the royal palace, within the Fourth Prince’s residence.

"Fourth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince and that young man with the surname Wyatt were suspected to have visited... the esteemed ’Lord Patel’."

An old man appeared like a ghost in the backyard of the Fourth Prince’s residence, reporting respectfully.
