Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 2369: Is Marcus Lee Returning to the Fire Worship Sect?
As people close to Emperor Eli, both Marcus Lee and Arthur King naturally knew:
The father of Emperor Eli is the Supreme Elder of the Dragonsmith Clan, one of the top powerhouses within the clan, a being above a ’Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal’!
As for whether he is a ’Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal’ or an even stronger ’Eight Tribulations Scattered Immortal’, they dare not confirm.
Because, within the Dragonsmith Clan, there are two versions regarding that powerhouse:
One version says he is a ’Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal’; the other version says he is an ’Eight Tribulations Scattered Immortal’.
Of course, whether it is ’Eight Tribulations Scattered Immortal’ or ’Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal’, to them, both are unbeatable existences!
Now, hearing Emperor Eli say that the task he has for them to do was assigned by his father.
Both Marcus Lee and Arthur King were greatly alarmed, feeling immense pressure, their hearts filled with anxiety...
If it were a task assigned by Emperor Eli, even if they messed up, the most he would do is not send them out on missions anymore.
But since this is a task assigned by Emperor Eli’s father, if they mess up, Emperor Eli would definitely not let it slide, and even if they are not executed, they would not have a good ending!
"My father said... recently someone in the middle territory has released information, exposing the existence of ’Scattered Immortals’!"
Emperor Eli said calmly.
"What?!"
Hearing Emperor Eli’s words, both Marcus Lee and Arthur King were shocked.
"Who is so bold?!"
"Is he seeking death? Doesn’t he know that both our Dragonsmith Clan and the Romero Tribe have issued a ’prohibition’, forbidding anyone from carelessly exposing the existence of ’Scattered Immortals’?"
After regaining their composure, Marcus Lee and Arthur King cried out in surprise.
"The reason I called you two here this time is precisely because of this matter... You two, leave the Dragonsmith Clan and thoroughly investigate who ignored our clan’s prohibition and exposed the existence of ’Scattered Immortals’!"
Emperor Eli continued, his gaze becoming colder, "If the opponent is weaker than you, imprison and bring him back; if the opponent is stronger, report back to me... and I will personally take action to obliterate him!"
As his words fell, a chill emanated from Emperor Eli, making Marcus and his companion feel as if they fell into an ice cellar, as if winter had arrived...
"Yes!"
Marcus and Arthur shivered and immediately accepted the order.
"These two ’Parent-Child Mirror Talismans’, keep them safe... that way, even if you’re not a match for that person and get killed by him, I’ll be able to know at the first instance who exposed the existence of ’Scattered Immortals’!"
Emperor Eli raised his hand and shot two Taoist Talismans to Marcus and Arthur.
Both quickly caught them, tucked them into their bosoms, and kept them close.
"I give you one year... I assume there’s no need for me to remind you of the following ’rules’, correct?"
Seeing them put away the Parent-Child Mirror Talismans, Emperor Eli raised an eyebrow and asked flatly.
Upon hearing this, Marcus and Arthur’s hearts tightened, and each of them made a ’Thunder Punishment Oath’...
The content of the ’Thunder Punishment Oath’ was that they promised to return to the Dragonsmith Clan within one year, or else be struck dead by the Thunder Punishment!
And this became the best means to restrain them.
"Go!"
Seeing them making the Thunder Punishment Oath, Emperor Eli raised his hand, gave them a token for entering and exiting the Dragonsmith Clan, and spoke calmly.
At that moment, Marcus received the token, and together with Arthur, left Emperor Eli’s training ground.
Then they left the area where the scattered immortals of the Dragonsmith Clan resided and headed out of the Dragonsmith Clan’s premises, planning to leave the ’Ten Thousand Great Mountains’.
As they were about to leave the Dragonsmith Clan’s premises, they were unsurprisingly stopped by a powerhouse of the Dragonsmith Clan.
However, after Marcus presented the token given by Emperor Eli, both he and Arthur were able to leave the Dragonsmith Clan and the vast Ten Thousand Great Mountains smoothly.
With the token given by Emperor Eli, they could enter and exit the Dragonsmith Clan.
After returning, they need to return this token to Emperor Eli.
"We’re out!"
"Hahahahaha... I’ve finally gotten out!"
After leaving the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, Marcus and Arthur couldn’t help but shout, venting the ’emotions’ that had been pent up in the Dragonsmith Clan for years.
It’s worth knowing that since their initial failed tribulation, achieving ’Scattered Immortal’ status, and being taken by the powerhouses of the Dragonsmith Clan, they have never left the clan’s premises again...
Today marks the first time they have left since joining the Dragonsmith Clan!
After venting their emotions for a while, Marcus and Arthur headed straight to the ’middle territory’.
"The message was leaked from the ’middle territory’... we’ll start our investigation there!"
Arthur said.
"Mm."
Marcus nodded, for he had the same thought.
With their speed, they soon reached the middle territory and arrived at the bustling loose cultivator gathering place, ’Sin City’, and inquired at a bustling tavern for information.
However, days passed, and they still found nothing.
"Now it’s certain... The person who spread the news about the ’Scattered Immortal’ is exceptionally cautious."
In an inn, Marcus Lee and Arthur King gathered in a room, Arthur spoke with a grave expression.
"Indeed."
Marcus’s face was also somewhat grave, "For now... that person hasn’t left a single trace! He widely spread the news about the existence of ’Scattered Immortal’, clearly doing so with intent, deliberately challenging the authority of the Dragonsmith Clan and Romero Tribe!"
"That person... is very likely a ’Scattered Immortal’!"
Arthur concluded, "If not a Scattered Immortal, it would be impossible to spread the news without leaving a trace..."
"And those who are not Scattered Immortals but know about their existence are almost always the higher-ups of the three great sects, including our Fire Worship Sect..."
"However, although they’re not very aware of the ’ban’ of the Dragonsmith Clan and Romero Tribe, they also know that our three great sects don’t have Scattered Immortals, so it’s impossible for them to spread such news."
"After all, once they spread news about the Scattered Immortals... our three great sects’ status in the eyes of the world will lower! This is a situation our sect leaders don’t want to see."
"So... they have no reason to spread the news about Scattered Immortals."
Arthur articulated his judgment.
"If the message was leaked by the higher-ups of our three great sects, it would be impossible not to leave any trace... That person can only be a ’Scattered Immortal’ like us!"
Marcus expressed his strong agreement with Arthur’s opinion.
"We can only continue our investigation... Even if that person is a Scattered Immortal, as long as they leak the information, there will certainly be traces left behind! What we need to do now is find the ’breakthrough point’, follow the clues, uncover the traces, and finally find the Scattered Immortal who spread the message!"
Arthur said.
"Continue the investigation."
Marcus nodded.
Following that, Marcus and his partner conducted a carpet search from the center of Sin City in the middle territory, extending in all directions...
Time flew.
In the blink of an eye, a whole month had passed since Marcus and his companion left the Dragonsmith Clan.
"A month has passed... and still no ’breakthrough point’!"
Somewhere west of Sin City, Marcus said somewhat irritably.
"Keep searching... We’ll find it eventually. I still have a few leads, perhaps one of them will guide me to the ’breakthrough point’!"
Arthur seemed more patient.
"Arthur!"
Suddenly, Marcus looked at Arthur, his eyes flashed and he said, "I’ve finished checking my leads... In the next few days, I’m planning to make a trip back to our Fire Worship Sect!"
"You’re... planning to return and command that girl to revoke the ’do not become enemies with Seven Terminating Sect’ new sect rule?"
Arthur, also from the Fire Worship Sect, could easily guess Marcus’s thoughts.
The ’girl’ Arthur referred to was none other than the current Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect, Paisley Flores!
"Yes."
Marcus nodded, "Our Fire Worship Sect has always joined forces with Mysterious Buddha Sect and Heavenly Shaman Sect to oppose Seven Terminating Sect... And this time, that girl went too far! Even though the successor of the first line of Seven Terminating Sect is her brother-in-law, she shouldn’t have established such an absurd rule!"
"This time, I return not only to make her revoke that rule but also to depose her as Sect Leader!"
Marcus’s tone showed great dissatisfaction toward the current Sect Leader, Paisley Flores.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be saying that he was going back to the Fire Worship Sect to remove Paisley Flores as Sect Leader! 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"Then you should go..."
Arthur nodded, "However, after dealing with the sect matters, come back as soon as possible. Don’t forget, the mission we’re on was personally assigned by the elder from the Dragonsmith Clan, Emperor Eli’s father!"
"If we mess this up, we’ll not only have a hard time leaving the Dragonsmith Clan again in the future, but we might also face severe punishment from Emperor Eli!"
"In the Dragonsmith Clan, in front of Emperor Eli... We are like ’ants’. If he wishes to kill us, he can do so at any moment!"
As he continued, Arthur’s expression grew increasingly serious.
"Don’t worry!"
Marcus nodded solemnly, "This time, going back to our Fire Worship Sect should only take seven or eight days at most!"
"Seven, eight days? I’ll give you two days! You must return after two days!"
Arthur said seriously, "Two days are enough for you to handle the sect’s affairs... unless you’re planning to find the successor of the first line of Seven Terminating Sect and kill him, avenge Lofty Don, and even boast in front of those guys!"
"Rest assured... I know my limits. Unless I can find that guy without wasting much time, I won’t waste time looking for him!"
Marcus said.
He certainly hoped to uncover the successor of the first line of Seven Terminating Sect, who is the current Sect Leader of Seven Terminating Sect, so he could kill him, avenge Lofty Don, and boast in front of the members from Mysterious Buddha Sect and Heavenly Shaman Sect inside the Dragonsmith Clan.
But, even if he were given a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare forget about the mission they were sent out to handle!
