Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 2357: My ‘Identity’

"I, Lofty Don, the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect, hereby announce... In light of Wyatt Barnes desecrating our Fire Worship Sect’s Saintess, from this day forth, Wyatt Barnes is expelled from the Fire Worship Sect!"

"I, Lofty Don, the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect, hereby announce... In light of Wyatt Barnes desecrating our Fire Worship Sect’s Saintess, from this day forth, Wyatt Barnes is expelled from the Fire Worship Sect!"

...

Lofty Don’s words, imbued with the vast Saint Origin, swept through the Fire Worship Sect’s premises, stirring echoing waves within.

In this process, the entire Fire Worship Sect was unexpectedly in an uproar!

"This... Is this the voice of the Sect Leader?"

"The Sect Leader said... Protector Wyatt defiled the Saintess? What... what on earth is going on?"

...

Upon hearing their Fire Worship Sect Leader ’Lofty Don’ declare that Wyatt Barnes desecrated their sect’s Saintess, a group within the Fire Worship Sect was immediately dumbfounded, unable to recover their senses for a moment.

After a while, someone finally came to their senses.

For a moment, the Fire Worship Sect’s premises became even more lively:

"The Saintess mentioned by the Sect Leader, should be the Saintess who had been lost to us outside for many years, right?"

"It must be! Apart from that Saintess, we have no other Saintess in our current Fire Worship Sect... Moreover, that Saintess was indeed desecrated and even gave birth to a daughter."

"Wasn’t the man who defiled the Saintess said to be from the ’Lower Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land?"

"Don’t forget... Protector Wyatt is precisely from the Lower Domain! He was once the Junior House Master of one of the two strongest forces in the Lower Domain, the ’Mansion of Azure Clouds’!"

"Exactly... The fact that Protector Wyatt is from the Lower Domain is no secret in the Upper Domain."

...

A group of elders and disciples from the Fire Worship Sect were also taken aback beyond words when they learned that the one who desecrated their sect’s Saintess was Wyatt Barnes.

Although they had long heard that their Fire Worship Sect’s Saintess was desecrated by a man from the Lower Domain when she was out wandering, it was utterly unexpected:

That the person who desecrated the Saintess was indeed their very own Protector Wyatt!

"So, this means... the daughter of the Saintess was indeed fathered by Protector Wyatt?"

"I never expected, truly never expected... That man was actually Protector Wyatt!"

"It seems like Protector Wyatt’s recent announcement of leaving the Fire Worship Sect was also because of this? He knew the Sect Leader would expel him from our sect, so he preemptively announced his departure from the Fire Worship Sect..."

"There’s such a possibility! After all, him announcing his departure from our sect is entirely different from the Sect Leader expelling him from the Fire Worship Sect!"

"Indeed. The former would make others think he chose to leave our sect; whereas the latter, if spread, would not sound good at all."

...

At this point, many were speculating:

The reason Wyatt Barnes announced his departure from the Fire Worship Sect earlier was indeed because of their sect’s Saintess!

"The Sect Leader actually wants to expel Protector Wyatt from the Fire Worship Sect over this... Is that really necessary?"

"As far as I know... Powerful Protectors in our Fire Worship Sect have always enjoyed ’privileges,’ allowing them to disregard some sect rules, haven’t they? Why not this time?"

"Our Fire Worship Sect’s Saintess wandered to the Lower Domain when she was still not sensible and formed a bond with Protector Wyatt; one cannot blame her... Since she formed a bond with Protector Wyatt, why not fulfill them? Fulfillment of their union might even create a beautiful tale in our Fire Worship Sect’s history."

"Compared to losing a powerful protector like Wyatt, the Saintess’s past missteps are trivial for our Fire Worship Sect!"

...

Throughout the Fire Worship Sect’s premises, almost ninety percent of the people hoped their sect leader would not expel Protector Wyatt over this matter and advocated for the union of Protector Wyatt and their sect’s Saintess.

"I think... we should plead for Protector Wyatt!"

"I agree... Protector Wyatt is too important for our Fire Worship Sect!"

"Losing Protector Wyatt is akin to losing a limb for our Fire Worship Sect... Even if it means marrying the Saintess to him, so be it!"

"Let’s go! Let’s plead for Protector Wyatt!"

...

Within the Holy Land of the Fire Worship Sect, a group of elders and disciples took to the air, heading mightily toward the skies above the Holy Island.

Within the Fire Worship Sect’s Four Symbols Altar, besides the Master of the Azure Dragon Altar, the other three altar masters, and elders of all altars had also left the Altar, entering the Holy Land.

Even the disciples within the Four Symbols Altar wished they could sprout wings and fly into the Holy Land of the Fire Worship Sect to plead for their sect’s Protector Wyatt!

Above the Holy Island of the Fire Worship Sect, a vast throng pierced through the clouds, approaching the vicinity where Wyatt Barnes’s group and Lofty Don’s group stood facing off.

These people were led by the two Vice Sect Leaders of the Fire Worship Sect.

Below them were numerous elders with golden flames, silver flames, and bronze flames, and a group of Holy Land disciples...

In the blink of an eye, the area was teeming with people.

"What are you doing here?"

Upon seeing the massive gathering of people, the Fire Worship Sect’s Protector ’Eagle Coldring’ couldn’t help but furrow his brows and question in a near-interrogative tone.

However, no one paid him any heed.

Everyone who came here had their eyes locked on the Fire Worship Sect’s Leader ’Lofty Don’, as if something uniquely compelling about him attracted their attention...

"We implore the Sect Leader to rescind the decree!"

Finally, it was the two Vice Sect Leaders of the Fire Worship Sect who led the group, all bowing slightly as they spoke to Lofty Don.

In their words, they hoped Lofty Don would retract the statement he had spread throughout the Fire Worship Sect residence.

"Please, Sect Leader, retract your decree!"

"Please, Sect Leader, retract your decree!"

...

Some who reacted slowly, and newcomers as well, all began to request Lofty Don to retract his previous statement, hoping that he wouldn’t expel Wyatt Barnes from the Fire Worship Sect!

"Do you realize what you’re doing?!"

Lofty Don glanced around at the elders and disciples of the Fire Worship Sect, his face unbelievably solemn.

Lofty Don hadn’t expected that merely speaking about Wyatt Barnes’ ’crimes’ and expelling him from the Fire Worship Sect would cause a group of elders and disciples to come and beg him to retract his decree, to retract his previous words...

"Sect Leader!"

At this moment, one of the two Vice Sect Leaders of the Fire Worship Sect spoke up, "Though Wyatt, the Protector, violated the sect’s regulations, it can be forgiven... Moreover, he once repelled the expert invited by the Mysterious Buddha Sect for us, making great contributions, and has already made up for his mistakes!"

"Indeed, Sect Leader."

Another Vice Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect also said, "With Wyatt the Protector’s current strength, if he remains in our Fire Worship Sect, we would gain immeasurable power... Abandoning such a strong person for a trivial regulation isn’t worth it."

"The combination of Wyatt the Protector and the Saintess, if passed down to future generations, would be a beautiful story... Please, Sect Leader, grant Wyatt the Protector and the Saintess your blessing!"

A Golden Flame Elder of the Fire Worship Sect spoke out loudly.

Immediately.

"Please, Sect Leader, grant Wyatt the Protector and the Saintess your blessing!"

"Please, Sect Leader, grant Wyatt the Protector and the Saintess your blessing!"

...

A group of elders and disciples of the Fire Worship Sect followed suit, beseeching Lofty Don to disregard minor details and bless the union of Wyatt the Protector and the Saintess.

If the four Protectors of the Fire Worship Sect had only arrived now, they would surely join in beseeching the Sect Leader as well...

Because they had arrived earlier, they were vaguely aware:

The announcement of Wyatt Barnes’ departure from the Fire Worship Sect seemingly had nothing to do with the Saintess!

"They..."

Standing in opposition to Lofty Don, Wyatt Barnes also never expected such a situation to occur, with a group of elders and disciples of the Fire Worship Sect rushing over to plead on his behalf.

Moreover, amidst their whispering, they somehow thought his announcement to leave the Fire Worship Sect was related to Keer...

It was somewhat laughable to him.

Mind you, his announcement to leave the Fire Worship Sect truly had nothing to do with Keer!

Of course, alongside the humor, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t deny feeling somewhat touched.

Even knowing this group from the Fire Worship Sect was pleading on behalf of his powerful skills, second only to Sect Leader Lofty Don within the sect...

The people of the Fire Worship Sect were still unaware that his strength had already surpassed Lofty Don’s!

"Everyone!"

The appearance and pleas of those from the Fire Worship Sect couldn’t be ignored by Wyatt Barnes, "The reason for my announcement to leave the Fire Worship Sect has no relation to my wife ’Keer,’ also known as your Fire Worship Sect’s former Saintess..."

"Hmm?"

"What? Wyatt the Protector’s announcement to leave our Fire Worship Sect is not because of the Saintess?"

"This...what’s happening then?"

"If it’s not due to matters concerning him and the Saintess, then what could it be?"

...

No doubt, once Wyatt Barnes spoke, the group pleading on his behalf was momentarily stunned, utterly unaware of what was going on.

For a moment, the gaze of the elders and disciples of the Fire Worship Sect all focused intently on Wyatt Barnes.

"Wyatt the Protector...If it’s not due to matters concerning you and the Saintess, why do you wish to leave the Fire Worship Sect? Is there something about our sect that dissatisfies you?"

A Vice Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect immediately questioned Wyatt Barnes.

"Indeed. Wyatt the Protector, you must have some reason for leaving our Fire Worship Sect?"

Another Vice Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect also followed with a question.

"There is, of course, a reason."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, and then under the watchful eyes of the group, slowly began to speak, "The reason is... my ’identity’ predestines that I cannot continue to stay in the Fire Worship Sect!"

"Identity? What identity?"

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, the group from the Fire Worship Sect showed confusion, looking at him with eyes full of questions.

In this moment, even the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect ’Lofty Don,’ along with the four Protectors of the Fire Worship Sect, had eyes filled with questions...

Under the gaze of many, Wyatt Barnes spoke loudly:

"I, Wyatt Barnes, am the current generation successor of the ’Misty Rain Lineage’ of the Seven Terminating Sect!"
