Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 2342: The Same Person

Upon hearing the words of the elderly man in brocade, it was evident that he had also discerned Wyatt Barnes’ current level of cultivation through his earlier actions.

Half-step Immortal!

However, listening to his tone now, it was clear:

Even though he had seen through that Wyatt Barnes was at the level of a ’Half-step Immortal,’ he seemed to neither fear Wyatt nor exhibit any other unusual emotions.

His current casual appearance seemed more like he did not regard the existence of a ’Half-step Immortal’ as anything significant!

Nevertheless, when the elderly man in brocade revealed Wyatt Barnes’ ’Half-step Immortal’ cultivation, he managed to remain calm, but that did not mean others could maintain their composure!

"This Saint Immortal, the current Sect Leader of the Seven Terminating Sect... is actually a ’Half-step Immortal’ level powerhouse?"

Almost as soon as the elderly man finished speaking, the slender middle-aged man standing behind him couldn’t help but have his pupils shrink intensely, his gaunt face full of shock!

The burly middle-aged man, who had been thrown by Wyatt Barnes and had managed to stand up from the ground afar, upon hearing the elderly man’s words, also had his pupils constrict rapidly, and his body trembled violently.

At this moment, he felt a chill down his spine...

"No wonder earlier, despite my full effort, the Saint Origin within me couldn’t break the constraint of the force stemming from him... It turns out, he is a ’Half-step Immortal’ level powerhouse! This clarifies everything from earlier."

Discovering that the purple-clothed youth he had challenged earlier was actually a ’Half-step Immortal’ level powerhouse left the burly middle-aged man deeply shaken and relieved.

"Fortunately, he didn’t go for the kill with me... Otherwise, I would surely have died!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Thinking of this, a sense of relief washed over him.

He was only an eighth transformation Saint Immortal martial artist; a Half-step Immortal level powerhouse could kill him as effortlessly as slaying a chicken!

Recalling the words he had just spoken to the purple-clothed youth standing before him, the burly middle-aged man’s face burned with embarrassment while being deeply shaken...

Such as how he could easily kill the opponent as a chicken...

It was more like the opponent could easily kill him like a chicken!

Following the words of the elderly man in brocade, even his two middle-aged servant-men were so shocked, not to mention the group of onlookers present...

"Half-step Immortal? I didn’t hear wrong, did I? Did he say... Half-step Immortal?!"

After the group of onlookers came to their senses, one of them first spoke, asking in shock, half wondering if they had misheard.

"You didn’t hear wrong... He indeed said ’Half-step Immortal’!"

Soon, many followed along, confirming it.

"He said... this Saint Immortal, the current Sect Leader of the Seven Terminating Sect, is actually at the level of a ’Half-step Immortal’?"

"That’s right."

"No wonder this Saint Immortal disciple from the Seven Terminating Sect was so fast earlier; I didn’t even catch a glimpse of him moving in front of the burly middle-aged man... Too fast!"

"If he is a Half-step Immortal, then such speed is normal."

"If he’s a Half-step Immortal level powerhouse... the words he said earlier shouldn’t be false, right? He said... the burly middle-aged man he casually tosses aside is at a ’Saint Immortal eighth transformation’ level!"

"Not to mention he’s a Half-step Immortal level powerhouse, so he shouldn’t lie... His identity as a Saint Immortal from the Seven Terminating Sect, as the Sect Leader, forbids lying. Moreover, given his status, he’s disdainful of lying!"

"So... is the burly middle-aged man really a ’Saint Immortal eighth transformation’ powerhouse?"

...

As the group continued to discuss, they realized they had overthought before; the burly middle-aged man was indeed most likely a ’Saint Immortal eighth transformation’ powerhouse!

In front of a Half-step Immortal level powerhouse, a mere Saint Immortal eighth transformation powerhouse is naturally vulnerable.

"A Half-step Immortal level powerhouse... I’ve heard of this level of existence before, but today is the first time I’ve seen one!"

"Me too!"

"It’s unbelievable that this generation of the Saint Immortal disciples from the Seven Terminating Sect is actually a Half-step Immortal level powerhouse, and they seem so young!"

"It’s understandable. Several female disciples from the Seven Terminating Sect suspected of having ventured into ’Saint Immortal ninth transformations’... As the contemporary disciple of the Seven Terminating Sect’s premier lineage ’Saint Immortal disciples,’ and as the Sect Leader, if they weren’t a Half-step Immortal level powerhouse, it would be strange."

"Indeed."

...

As the group continued discussing, their eyes collectively fell on Wyatt Barnes, watching him, seemingly wanting to etch this person deeply into their memories and hearts.

"Huh?!"

Suddenly, an elderly onlooker exclaimed: "He... Isn’t he the ’Protector Wyatt Barnes’ from the Fire Worship Sect?"

"Protector Wyatt Barnes from the Fire Worship Sect?"

As the elderly woman first spoke, more and more people began scrutinizing Wyatt Barnes’ face, gradually finding him familiar...

Memories from a few years ago slowly resurfaced in their minds.

"It’s definitely Wyatt Barnes, the Protector of the Fire Worship Sect! I’ve seen his portrait!"

"I’ve seen his portrait too... However, that was from several years ago, so I couldn’t recall it right away just now."

"No wonder he seemed familiar to me earlier... It turns out, he’s the Protector of the Fire Worship Sect, Wyatt Barnes! And, when he revealed his identity just now, besides saying he’s the successor of the Rain and Mist Lineage of the Seven Terminating Sect, he also mentioned that his name is Wyatt Barnes!"

"He did say his name is Wyatt Barnes!"

"This... A few years ago, Wyatt Barnes was just the Protector of the Fire Worship Sect, and a few years later, he suddenly becomes the contemporary successor of the Rain and Mist Lineage of the Seven Terminating Sect? This leap... It’s too grand, isn’t it?"

"Incredible! Incredible!"

...

As more and more people recognized the handsome, vaguely familiar face of Wyatt Barnes, they all realized one thing:

The Wyatt Barnes, Protector of the Fire Worship Sect from years ago, and today’s Rain and Mist Lineage successor of the Seven Terminating Sect, are the same person!

"Aren’t the Seven Terminating Sect and the Fire Worship Sect mortal enemies?"

"Yes, the Seven Terminating Sect isn’t just mortal enemies with the Fire Worship Sect, they’re also mortal enemies with the Mysterious Buddha Sect and the Heavenly Shaman Sect... How could the successor of the Rain and Mist Lineage also have the identity of a Protector of the Fire Worship Sect?"

...

Many people found this puzzling.

"You all are really foolish... Can’t Wyatt Barnes, as the successor of the Rain and Mist Lineage of the Seven Terminating Sect, go undercover in the Fire Worship Sect to gather information?"

"If that’s the case, it does make some sense."

...

With some timely explanations, many who were confused about Wyatt Barnes having the dual identities as a member of the Fire Worship Sect and the Seven Terminating Sect had their doubts resolved and their minds cleared.

"But... the rise in Wyatt Barnes’s power is just too astounding, isn’t it?"

At this point, someone else voiced their doubt: "I remember... A few years ago, he had just defeated Frede Howl, the top beneath the ninth transformation of Saint Origin in our Martial Dao Sacred Land. Yet, a few years later, he’s already a powerhouse at the level of ’half-step immortal’? That’s just too exaggerated, isn’t it?"

"Indeed, it’s quite exaggerated... Could he have made a mistake?"

For a moment, everyone present focused their gaze uniformly on the brocade-clad elder.

Just now, it was the brocade-clad elder who stated that Wyatt Barnes was a ’half-step immortal.’

If it were an unknown successor of the Rain and Mist Lineage of the Seven Terminating Sect with a cultivation level of ’half-step immortal,’ although they would be shocked, they wouldn’t feel confused, baffled, or doubtful...

However, now this Rain and Mist Lineage successor, Wyatt Barnes, is not at all unfamiliar to them.

Because several years ago, he was already renowned throughout the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land!

He was the second most powerful person in the Fire Worship Sect, after Sect Leader Lofty Don, the Protector, Wyatt Barnes!

In just a few years, he leaped from someone who hadn’t even reached the ’ninth transformation of Saint Origin’ to achieve ’half-step immortal’...

Is this possible?

Is this realistic?

Although the most powerful among those present was only at the level of ’second transformation of Saint Origin,’ never having experienced that stage...

But as they say, ’Even if you’ve never eaten pork, you’ve certainly heard about how pigs run!’

Therefore, they deeply understood the challenges of surpassing that stage.

"So you are indeed that Wyatt Barnes, who was renowned in the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land years ago, acknowledged as the ’Opulent Earth Sacred Land’s first prodigy’ after Jagger Patel!"

Facing the doubtful eyes of the crowd, the brocade-clad elder remained indifferent, his gaze at Wyatt Barnes growing sharper and sharper.

"It seems that years ago, you hid your true cultivation, making everyone believe you hadn’t even stepped into the ’ninth transformation of Saint Origin’..."

At the same time, the brocade-clad elder continued, "But in my presence, your current cultivation has nowhere to hide... You truly are a ’half-step immortal’!"

Seeing that Wyatt Barnes was merely looking at him calmly without responding, the brocade-clad elder suddenly felt both embarrassed and angry:

"Do you think just because you’re a ’half-step immortal,’ you can stop me from taking your daughter as my disciple today? Do you truly believe you ’half-step immortals’ are the pinnacle of power on this worldly plane?"

The brocade-clad elder’s words were filled with immense confidence!

And his words left everyone present dumbfounded.

"Half-step immortals... Aren’t they supposed to be the pinnacle of power on this worldly plane? But listening to him... it seems like half-step immortals aren’t actually at the pinnacle of power on this worldly plane!"

Many felt a shudder run through their hearts.

But most believed the elder was speaking nonsense.

And just then, Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow and finally spoke calmly:

"Do you really think I haven’t realized you are a ’Scattered Immortal’?"
