Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2744: Chapter 2744: Annie Campbell Takes Action

When he saw the person who had just called out to him, Wyatt Barnes’ eyes suddenly lit up.

The woman before his eyes was, after he arrived at this myriad-heavens plane "Spiritual Heaven," the most beautiful woman he had seen besides Leilany and Milana Harrington.

The woman wore a light cyan dress, with fine brows over almond eyes, a high, delicate nose, and cherry-red lips. Together with that near-perfect facial contour, she looked like a finely carved work of art; just one glance at her made one feel a pleasing sense of delight.

This woman, Wyatt could be sure, he was definitely seeing for the first time.

However, the other woman beside her was not unfamiliar to him at all; she was none other than the Campbell Family’s Fourth Miss, "Jenny Campbell."

What surprised him was:

Right now, when Jenny Campbell looked at him, not only was there no hatred in her eyes, there was even a trace of panic and fear, as if she were treating him like some sort of terrifying scourge.

"Third Miss Campbell!"

At the same time, the voice of the Thirteenth Prince, "Crue Dragonsmith," rang in Wyatt’s ears at just the right moment, letting Wyatt know who the woman beside Jenny was: Jenny’s elder sister, the Campbell Family’s Third Miss, "Annie Campbell."

Half a year ago, he had heard Crue mention this woman. He knew that besides being the Campbell Family’s Third Miss, she was also the last personal disciple of the previous Sect Leader of the Thousand-Spider Immortal Sect, and the current Sect Leader’s junior sister.

"Third Miss Campbell, I didn’t expect to see you here... Crue remembers that ever since you joined the Thousand-Spider Immortal Sect, you’ve been like a Divine Dragon that’s seen head but not tail; it’s hard for others to even catch a glimpse of you. I never thought Crue would bump into you today—Crue is truly fortunate."

Even though he knew that Annie Campbell was ten to one here for the sake of the Wyatt standing at his side, Crue Dragonsmith still quickly put on a smiling face and stepped forward to greet her.

"Your Highness Thirteenth Prince is joking. It’s just that I usually stay by my master’s side and rarely return to the Capital City, that’s all."

Annie Campbell said with a faint smile.

As her voice fell, she glanced at Jenny beside her and said blandly, "Jenny, did you forget what Third Sister told you?"

Hearing Annie’s words, Jenny’s body trembled slightly. She then stepped forward, looked at Wyatt, and bowed slightly. "I’m sorry... it was my fault last time."

"Hm?"

Although this was not Jenny’s first time apologizing to him, Wyatt could clearly feel that this time, when Jenny apologized, there wasn’t the slightest hint of unwillingness. It was as if she was sincerely, willingly apologizing.

This took him very much by surprise.

After all, the last time the Fourth Prince "Judson Dragonsmith" had made Jenny apologize, she had only done it perfunctorily, and her eyes had been full of resentment.

And after Jenny finished apologizing, before Wyatt could speak, Annie looked toward him, a bright light flashing through her autumn-water eyes. "Wyatt... could we talk in private for a moment?"

Before Wyatt could respond, Crue Dragonsmith’s expression instantly changed, and he fixed his gaze on Annie, saying in a deep voice, "Third Miss Campbell, is there anything you can’t say here? If you think there are too many people around, I can have Francis Bushell clear the area!"

As his words fell, Crue looked back at Francis Bushell and gave him a slight nod.

The next moment.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

Waves of vast, boundless power surged out from Francis Bushell’s body, like raging gales sweeping in all directions, pushing the surrounding crowd far away, yet without injuring any of them.

This fully displayed Francis Bushell’s masterful control over his own power.

In an instant, the area that had originally been bustling became completely empty.

"What’s going on?!"

"What happened?!"

...

Among the people who had been pushed back, aside from a small portion, most had no idea what had just occurred, and they all wore bewildered expressions.

However, even though they didn’t know what had happened, they could clearly feel just how unstoppable that power just now had been.

So, all of them felt a lingering sense of fear.

"Isn’t... isn’t that His Highness the Thirteenth Prince?"

When the crowd came back to their senses and looked toward the few people standing at the center of the now-open area in the distance, someone quickly recognized Crue Dragonsmith, the Thirteenth Prince of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation’s Imperial Family.

"That’s... the Campbell Family’s Fourth Miss!"

Right after, someone else recognized Jenny Campbell.

"That purple-clothed young man, and that veiled woman beside him... I’ve seen them! They’re the ones who, half a year ago, killed the Campbell Family Elder who was with Fourth Miss Campbell and injured Fourth Miss Campbell’s people!"

"It’s actually them?!"

"Is Fourth Miss Campbell here to take revenge?"

"Doesn’t really look like revenge... Just now, I saw Fourth Miss Campbell, under the indication of the woman beside her, apologize to that purple-clothed young man."

...

While the crowd buzzed with discussion, many gazes fell on the "Annie Campbell" standing beside Jenny.

"Isn’t... isn’t that the Campbell Family’s Third Miss?"

Soon, a sharp-eyed old man let out a cry of surprise, then muttered, "Her aura has changed quite a lot, but her looks haven’t changed much... it really is Third Miss Campbell!"

"What?!"

"Th-The Campbell Family’s Third Miss?!"

"Third Miss Campbell... the number one beauty of our Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation?!"

...

As that sharp-eyed old man spoke, another commotion immediately rippled through the crowd, because the Third Miss of the Campbell Family was simply too famous; it was just that many people had never had the fortune to see her in person.

The number one beauty of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation.

The person with the highest cultivation talent in the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation in the last thousand years.

The closed-door disciple of the previous Sect Leader of the Thousand-Spider Celestial Sect.

The junior martial sister of the current Sect Leader of the Thousand-Spider Celestial Sect.

This was the "halo" above that Third Miss of the Campbell Family’s head—boundless glory!

Just as everyone’s attention shifted onto Annie Campbell, Annie swept a faint glance at Crue Dragonsmith and said, "Thirteenth Prince, there are some things I want to say to Wyatt Barnes in private... even my younger sister is not suited to listen."

Annie’s words made things very clear:

When she spoke with Wyatt Barnes in private, even her younger sister Jenny Campbell had to avoid it.

"What if I don’t allow Brother Barnes to go with you?"

Crue Dragonsmith’s face chilled as he spoke in a deep voice.

Although Annie Campbell had the backing of the Thousand-Spider Celestial Sect, this was still the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, and above the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation stood the Dragon Warrior Celestial Sect.

As a prince of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, protected by the Dragon Warrior Celestial Sect, even members of the Thousand-Spider Celestial Sect would not dare to act rashly against him without a legitimate reason.

Furthermore, although Annie Campbell’s strength was not weak, at his side he also had Francis Bushell, a "Love Rowan Upper Immortal of Spiritual Heaven"!

Whoosh!

And almost at the instant Crue Dragonsmith’s words fell, Francis Bushell, who had originally been standing behind him, blurred—and the next moment appeared in front of Wyatt Barnes, shielding Wyatt behind him, glaring at Annie Campbell like a tiger watching its prey.

"I heard not long ago that the Thirteenth Prince had recruited a ’Love Rowan Upper Immortal of Spiritual Heaven’ to his side. Seeing him today, it seems that’s indeed the case."

Seeing Francis Bushell appear between herself and Wyatt Barnes, Annie Campbell’s pair of autumn eyes, clear as water, instantly narrowed into slits.

The next moment.

Whoosh!

A surging wave of Immortal Origin also rose from Annie Campbell’s body, causing the green dress on her body to flutter without wind, while all the dust on the ground beneath her feet was swept away.

"She... she’s also a ’Love Rowan Upper Immortal of Spiritual Heaven’?!"

Sensing the Immortal Origin on Annie Campbell’s body, Francis Bushell’s expression changed drastically.

"Hmph!"

And almost at the instant Francis Bushell’s face changed, Annie Campbell’s figure flashed and seemed to vanish into thin air from where she had been.

At least, in Wyatt Barnes’s eyes, she had vanished into thin air.

Bam!!

Just as Wyatt Barnes saw Francis Bushell’s figure sway, a dull boom reached his ears.

The next instant, he saw:

Annie Campbell had at some unknown point already appeared in front of Francis Bushell. On her slender jade hand, she was actually wearing a glove woven like spider silk; with a reversed palm pressing down, waves of energy crashed down on Francis Bushell like Mount Tai.

As for Francis Bushell, at some unknown point he had also taken out his Immortal Artifact and was now desperately holding up under Annie Campbell’s seemingly casual palm.

He was kneeling on one knee; from where his knee touched the ground, the earth fractured, cobweb-like cracks continuously spreading out in all directions...

"Get lost!"

Before the group of people, including Wyatt Barnes, could react, Annie Campbell had already let out a low shout.

With that shout, the waves of energy pressing down from her reversed palm suddenly changed direction.

Boom!!

The energy shifted and slammed into Francis Bushell’s body, directly blasting him far away and sending him crashing heavily into the distant ground, causing his blood and qi to churn within, leaving him in a sorry state.

Only then did those present finally come back to their senses one after another.

"Just now... did the Third Miss of the Campbell Family say that the man at the Thirteenth Prince’s side is a ’Love Rowan Upper Immortal of Spiritual Heaven’?"

"Seems like it."

"Heavens! Even a Love Rowan Upper Immortal of Spiritual Heaven was suppressed so easily by the Third Miss Campbell... doesn’t that mean her strength is even greater than that of a Love Rowan Upper Immortal of Spiritual Heaven?"

"We can be sure that the Third Miss Campbell’s strength is greater than a Love Rowan Upper Immortal of Spiritual Heaven... but her cultivation level isn’t necessarily higher than his."

"Indeed. Even if the Third Miss Campbell is also a Love Rowan Upper Immortal of Spiritual Heaven, to torment a wild-path Love Rowan Upper Immortal of Spiritual Heaven like this would still be effortless... after all, her master is the previous Sect Leader of the Thousand-Spider Celestial Sect. The Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities she has mastered must all be Earth Grade Immortal Methods and Earth Grade Divine Abilities!"

...

The waves of discussion drifting from afar entered Wyatt Barnes’s ears, giving him a new understanding of the three great Celestial Sects of the Desolate Territory.

"Among the three great Celestial Sects of this Desolate Territory, there are actually already Earth Grade Immortal Methods and Earth Grade Divine Abilities?"

After learning this, Wyatt Barnes’s expression also became solemn.

Because he had realized:

His advantage in Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities was growing smaller and smaller.

Among the Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities he had mastered, only one auxiliary Divine Ability, the ’Minor Devouring Technique’, was a ’Heaven Grade Divine Ability’.

As for the methods granted to him by the supreme Sword Dao cultivation art, Supreme Heart Sword, which were similar to Immortal Methods, at best they could compare to Earth Grade Immortal Methods, and the Divine Ability, ’Thirteen Swords of the Green Lotus’, was also only an Earth Grade Divine Ability.
