Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 2332: Trying to Escape?
Wyatt Barnes’s powerful abilities were evident to everyone present.
Even the respected teacher of their Human Demon Clan’s Clan Chief, the Scattered Immortal of Three Calamities, Jax Lavoie, was killed in a single blow by him...
Palace Master Vast Johnson of the Sacred Wander Palace, today is surely not destined to escape death either!
And after Vast Johnson dies, the question of whether Wyatt Barnes will target them also haunts those present, causing them a wave of unease and fear.
Just as nearly everyone thought Wyatt Barnes would strike next against Vast Johnson.
Wyatt Barnes’s voice rang out timely, filled with cold indifference:
"Vast Johnson, I offer you two choices now... The first choice: swear the ’Thunder Punishment Oath’, acknowledge me as your master, and hereafter follow my lead in everything! The second choice: death!"
Wyatt Barnes’s words cast another wave of bewilderment among those present.
The implication of Wyatt Barnes’s words:
He still plans to give Vast Johnson a ’path to life’?
"Thank you!"
Almost as Wyatt Barnes’s voice fell, Angelo Yellow couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and immediately expressed gratitude to Wyatt Barnes.
She knew:
This is already the greatest concession Wyatt Barnes can make!
Although, making her teacher pledge allegiance to him sounded quite insulting at first...
But, considering Wyatt Barnes’s strength and his mysterious ability to enhance others’ innate talents, she felt:
Wyatt Barnes is completely qualified to be her teacher’s ’master’!
"No need to thank me... Not to mention you promised me earlier that if I perished, you would safeguard my family’s lives; I owe you a favor. Having your teacher survive and acknowledge me as master is indeed better for me than simply killing him."
Hearing Angelo Yellow’s thanks, Wyatt Barnes responded calmly.
These words came and went gently, as if discussing an insignificant matter.
Indeed, it truly was a trivial matter to him.
Moreover, what he said was true:
Sparing Vast Johnson and having him pledge allegiance to Wyatt Barnes was undoubtedly better than killing him...
After all, Vast Johnson is someone at the level of a ’half-step immortal’. If he swears the Thunder Punishment Oath and acknowledges him as master, it would significantly bolster Wyatt’s forces. He could also gain control over the entire Sacred Wander Palace.
Wow!
Angelo Yellow’s gratitude to Wyatt Barnes and his words stirred a commotion among the crowd...
"I figured... why did Wyatt Barnes suddenly decide to give Palace Master Johnson a path to life! Turns out, he owed Angelo Yellow a favor."
"I thought earlier that Angelo Yellow stepping out was a path to self-destruction, yet unexpectedly, she got Wyatt Barnes to spare Palace Master Johnson’s life!"
"But the path Wyatt Barnes proposes for Palace Master Johnson is exceedingly difficult... He actually wants Palace Master Johnson to swear the Thunder Punishment Oath and recognize him as master!"
"Difficult? Think about it, given Wyatt Barnes’s current strength, killing Palace Master Johnson would be as simple as killing a chicken... Though his demand is tough, it’s undoubtedly his greatest concession! Personally, I find it reasonable."
"If I could survive... I’d certainly acknowledge him as master! After all, once you’re dead, nothing matters anymore."
...
Amidst the discussions among those present, some felt Wyatt Barnes’s demand was excessive, but most deemed it justified. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
"So that’s how it is."
In the distance, Paisley Flores came to a realization, her previously grim expression softened.
Earlier, seeing Wyatt Barnes seemingly willing to spare the Sacred Wander Palace Master, she thought it was because Wyatt Barnes had developed an affection for his favored disciple, Angelo Yellow.
Now, hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, she realized how mistaken she was...
It turns out Angelo Yellow once promised Wyatt Barnes:
She would protect his family’s lives after his demise!
As to who Wyatt Barnes’s family was, she could easily guess... it surely referred to her sister, her niece, herself, and Alvaro Jones.
Different from Paisley, Keer remained calm throughout the incident, seemingly unconditionally supportive of Wyatt Barnes’s every decision.
"Acknowledge him as master?"
Hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Vast Johnson was surprised by the promise his cherished disciple Angelo Yellow had made previously to Wyatt Barnes, realizing Wyatt Barnes was offering him a ’path to life’ entirely due to his disciple.
However, committing to acknowledge Wyatt Barnes as master was a decision he couldn’t immediately make.
After all, he was Palace Master of Sacred Wander Palace, one of the nine major forces, with a prestigious status, now achieving ’half-step immortal’...
Recognizing a human as master naturally makes him instinctively resistant.
"Either acknowledge him as master... or face death!"
Yet as these were the only options, Vast Johnson found himself internally conflicted...
"I’ll give you three breaths of time... After three breaths, if you haven’t made a decision, I’ll kill you!"
Realizing Vast Johnson’s hesitation, Wyatt Barnes frowned, unwilling to waste time on this matter, speaking straight with impatience in his tone.
"Master!"
Fearing that her master might rather die than yield, Isabella was also anxious at this moment, her expression changing repeatedly.
As Wyatt Barnes spoke urgingly, the atmosphere on the scene changed once again, the smell of gunpowder growing even thicker, as if it could explode at any moment!
All eyes were focused intently on Vast Johnson.
In the gazes of the crowd, there was understanding, doubt, bewilderment, and confusion...
At this moment, silence was louder than any words.
And just as all eyes were on Vast Johnson.
"I, Vast Johnson..."
Gritting his teeth fiercely, Vast Johnson finally made a decision and, under the watchful gaze of the crowd, made an oath of ’Thunder Punishment,’ acknowledging Wyatt Barnes as his master and pledging his allegiance!
In the end, the Palace Master of the Sacred Wander Palace of the Human Demon Clan compromised.
No one present mocked his compromise, as everyone knew this was ’the trend of times!’
"Phew~~"
Watching Vast Johnson make the oath of ’Thunder Punishment,’ acknowledging Wyatt Barnes as his master, not only did Isabella let out a sigh of relief, but the other members of the Sacred Wander Palace couldn’t also help but relax.
Isabella was relieved because she knew her master had narrowly escaped disaster.
And the other members of the Sacred Wander Palace were relieved because they knew that since their Palace Master acknowledged Wyatt Barnes as master, Wyatt Barnes would not make things difficult for them.
After Vast Johnson took the ’Thunder Punishment Oath,’ Wyatt Barnes’ eyes moved away from him and shifted to the seven leaders of the six courts and one palace.
Almost as soon as Wyatt Barnes’ gaze fell on the seven leaders, his gaze suddenly turned sharp as a knife, seemingly able to tear everything apart!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
...
Noticing Wyatt Barnes’ piercing gaze, the seven leaders trembled in fear.
Immediately, the head of the Azure Mist Court was the first to make the oath of ’Thunder Punishment,’ acknowledging Wyatt Barnes as master, seemingly worried that delaying would anger Wyatt Barnes...
With someone setting an example, the remaining six people no longer hesitated and swiftly made the oath of ’Thunder Punishment,’ acknowledging Wyatt Barnes as master.
What a joke!
Even the Palace Master of the Sacred Wander Palace, Vast Johnson, had made an oath acknowledging Wyatt Barnes as master, unless they wanted to die, they had no choice!
Seeing their Palace Master and Court Master pledge allegiance to a man akin to a ’Divine Being,’ everyone present from the six courts and one palace heaved a sigh of relief.
Only the high-ranking officials of the Giant Spirit Palace, led by the Deputy Palace Master Benedict Baker, couldn’t help but start to tremble when they realized that Wyatt Barnes had never once looked their way.
"Lord Duan Lingtian!"
Finally, the Giant Spirit Palace’s Deputy Palace Master Benedict Baker stepped forward, looking anxiously at Wyatt Barnes, respectfully declaring:
"Our Giant Spirit Palace is also willing to pledge allegiance to you, Lord Duan Lingtian!"
Currently, this tall and muscular man, the number one being under the ninth transformation of the Saint Immortal within the Human Demon Clan, also lowered his proud head before Wyatt Barnes.
It was Benedict Baker who stepped forward because he had always been the number two figure of the Giant Spirit Palace, and now that the Palace Master, Archer Stone, was dead, he naturally took command!
"Giant Spirit Palace?"
This time, Wyatt Barnes lazily glanced at Benedict Baker and said indifferently, "Anyone present from the Giant Spirit Palace who can provide useful information about the current whereabouts of the group from the Mansion of Azure Clouds, I will spare their life..."
"Otherwise, follow your Giant Spirit Palace Master, Archer Stone, to the Netherworld Path! At least, he will have company."
With these words, Wyatt Barnes’ tone was as calm as ever, as though speaking about an ordinary matter.
As Wyatt Barnes finished speaking, the faces of the people from the Giant Spirit Palace changed dramatically.
"Escape!!"
The Deputy Palace Master of the Giant Spirit Palace, Benedict Baker, knew as soon as Wyatt Barnes finished speaking that if they stayed, they were doomed to die.
So, with a fierce shout, he called upon the high-ranking individuals of the Giant Spirit Palace to flee!
Useful information about the current whereabouts of the group from the Mansion of Azure Clouds?
How could they possibly know!
If they knew, they would have already told their Palace Master, Archer Stone, and the group from the Mansion of Azure Clouds would have been wiped out long ago!
Currently, Benedict Baker still held a glimmer of hope:
If they scattered and fled from the Giant Spirit Palace, perhaps one or two might escape, and maybe he would be among them!
The truth proved that Benedict Baker was too naive.
Or rather, he underestimated Wyatt Barnes’ current strength!
Almost as soon as Benedict Baker gave a loud shout and the people from the Giant Spirit Palace started to act.
"Trying to escape?"
Wyatt Barnes sneered with disdain, then his arms shook, and suddenly stretched out wide!
