Chapter 1843: Chapter 1843: Idiot!
"Is it not?"
Atlas Dunn glanced at Wyatt Barnes with disdain and sneered, "My son had a great opportunity, a fortuitous encounter with the Ancient Beast Demon Ruins, receiving the inheritance of the Ancient Beast Demon. In less than two years, he broke through from the ’Middle Saint Realm mid-stage’ to the ’Human Saint Realm early-stage’... Your talent may be good, but your cultivation is just at the ’Great Saint Realm peak’. Want to kill my son? Pure fantasy!"
Ancient Beast Demon Ruins!
Human Saint Realm early-stage!
Originally, when Augustine Landon heard Wyatt Barnes’s words, he was already very surprised.
Now, hearing Atlas Dunn’s words, he also realized that Wyatt Barnes was telling the truth, and was greatly shocked for a moment, "That Tommy Dunn, such luck? He could encounter the Ancient Beast Demon Ruins and even received the Ancient Beast Demon’s inheritance, breaking through from Middle Saint Realm mid-stage to Human Saint Realm early-stage in under two years?"
Thinking about his own hard cultivation journey, just recently breaking through to Human Saint Realm early-stage, Augustine Landon felt a sense of imbalance in his heart.
"Ancient Beast Demon Ruins? Ancient Beast Demon inheritance?"
Hearing Atlas Dunn’s words, Wyatt Barnes was first stunned, then couldn’t help but laugh.
"Vice Mansion Leader Dunn, did Tommy tell you that he encountered the Ancient Beast Demon Ruins and received the Ancient Beast Demon inheritance?"
Wyatt Barnes looked at Atlas Dunn with an odd smile on his face.
"Why are you laughing?!"
Atlas Dunn’s expression darkened, completely unaware of why Wyatt Barnes was laughing.
"Vice Mansion Leader Dunn, it seems your son isn’t honest even in front of you... Also, if he hadn’t thought I was doomed that day, he wouldn’t have told me the ’truth’ behind why his cultivation improved so quickly!"
Wyatt Barnes gave Atlas Dunn a long look, the smile on the corner of his mouth growing ever more profound.
"What do you mean by that? What truth?"
Atlas Dunn’s face grew even darker.
At this moment, Augustine Landon also looked curiously at Wyatt Barnes, not knowing what he wanted to say, but eagerly anticipating his next words.
"The truth is... Tommy Dunn never encountered any Ancient Beast Demon Divine Ability Ruins, nor did he receive any Ancient Beast Demon inheritance! The reason his cultivation improved so quickly is because, like the former Palace Master Watson of the Heavenly Palace, he cultivated the ’Swallowing Demon Art’!"
Facing Atlas Dunn’s inquiry, Wyatt Barnes responded calmly, and as he spoke, a trace of mockery appeared on his lips.
Swallowing Demon Art!
Hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Augustine Landon’s pupils contracted, and his gaze at Atlas Dunn completely changed, "Atlas Dunn! You actually indulged your son in cultivating the ’Swallowing Demon Art’... You truly have some nerve!"
"Nonsense!"
Atlas Dunn glared at Wyatt Barnes, his vast power surging, ready to erupt, "Wyatt, my son is dead, I will not allow anyone to smear him!"
"Smear?"
Wyatt Barnes chuckled, "Vice Mansion Leader Dunn, I’m not smearing your dear son! Everything I know, he admitted to me personally... He even told me that without him acting as a go-between, the alliance between Palace Master Watson and Sky-scraping Mansion’s Junior House Master ’Peace Adams’ might never have formed!"
"Perhaps, if it weren’t for his intervention, Palace Master Watson might not have been able to reach an agreement with Peace Adams!"
As he spoke, Wyatt Barnes’s gaze turned cold.
Listening to Wyatt Barnes’s additional comments, Atlas Dunn fell into a brief silence.
He still remembered when he was monitoring Peace Adams, his son had once been to the underground chamber where Peace Adams was held and had stood by Peace Adams’s bedside for a long time.
At that time, he thought his son had contacted Peace Adams, but his son said he hadn’t.
Back then, he did not suspect his son.
But today, hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, recalling that scene, he increasingly felt it was strange.
Even his once firm inner conviction was somewhat shaken.
"Could it be... Tommy really did contact Peace Adams back then? He didn’t tell me, fearing I’d stop him from cultivating the ’Swallowing Demon Art’?"
At this thought, Atlas Dunn’s heart sank.
"If I guessed right, Tommy must have known about the humiliation Palace Master Watson suffered by the hands of Shadow Mountain’s Black Market Vice Leader ’Diffy Fenning’, and used Palace Master Watson’s eagerness for revenge to persuade him, masterminding the rescue of Peace Adams!"
All these were Wyatt Barnes’s conjectures.
"If I’m not mistaken... When young women in the western region were drained to death, Tommy should not have been in the Mysterious Void Mansion, right? And, Tommy only returned to the Mysterious Void Mansion after the incident was exposed, right?"
Wyatt Barnes looked at Atlas Dunn and asked word by word.
Upon hearing this, Atlas Dunn carefully thought about it, and it indeed seemed true!
"Without concrete evidence, stop spouting nonsense here!"
Of course, even as Atlas Dunn harbored some doubts, he could never admit it verbally.
Even if his son were alive, and he was 100% sure his son cultivated the ’Swallowing Demon Art’, he would never acknowledge it!
It is known that those who practice the ’Swallowing Demon Art’ are considered a ’rat crossing the street, everyone shouts to beat them’ in the Martial Dao Sacred Land!
"Concrete evidence?"
Wyatt Barnes laughed, "Do you want me to swear an oath of Thunder Punishment to show you? To let you know I am not lying!"
"There’s no need! Anyway, I won’t believe a word you say."
Hearing Wyatt Barnes say this, Atlas Dunn immediately denied it.
But deep in his heart, he was almost certain that his son Tommy Dunn had indeed cultivated the "Devouring Dark_Demon Art," otherwise Wyatt Barnes wouldn’t dare to invoke a Thunder Punishment oath as evidence!
Sharing the same thought as Atlas Dunn was Augustine Landon.
"Tommy Dunn actually cultivated the ’Devouring Dark_Demon Art’... He deserved to die!"
Augustine Landon said coldly, disregarding the harsh gaze from Atlas Dunn.
"Enough, let’s drop this topic... As for whether Tommy cultivated the ’Devouring Dark_Demon Art,’ I believe, Vice Mansion Leader Dunn, that your heart must now be as ’clear as a mirror.’
Wyatt Barnes gave Atlas Dunn a deep look and said.
"Wyatt, let me ask you again... Who exactly killed my son Tommy Dunn? Does the person who killed my son have anything to do with you? Otherwise, why are you alive, while he is dead?"
Atlas Dunn stared coldly at Wyatt Barnes and asked in a frosty voice.
"Vice Mansion Leader Dunn, I’ve already told you the truth, Tommy Dunn was killed by me... If you don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do!"
In the face of Atlas Dunn’s persistent questioning, Wyatt Barnes shook his head and shrugged helplessly.
"Fine! You say you killed him... Then, can you tell me how, as a Martial Artist of the Great Saint Realm peak, you managed to kill a Demon Cultivator of the Human Saint Realm?"
Atlas Dunn’s face darkened again, he was almost out of patience.
If he weren’t looking to get an answer from Wyatt Barnes, he would have already lashed out and killed him!
"Under normal circumstances, with my cultivation, it would indeed be difficult to kill Tommy Dunn..."
Wyatt Barnes nodded, confirming Atlas Dunn’s words.
Subsequently, under Atlas Dunn’s gaze, Wyatt Barnes continued, "However, as strong as Tommy Dunn was, he was just a Demon Cultivator of the Human Saint Realm... Even if a Demon Cultivator of the peak Human Saint Realm stood before me, they wouldn’t survive!"
As he spoke, Wyatt Barnes exuded strong confidence.
Hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, both Atlas Dunn and Augustine Landon were stunned.
From his words, does it imply that he could even kill a Demon Cultivator of the peak Human Saint Realm?
"That’s right! Brother Wyatt has the Demon Sealing Monument!"
When Augustine Landon first heard Wyatt Barnes’ words, he also found it somewhat unbelievable, but upon reconsideration, he recalled the super sacred artifact "Demon Sealing Monument" that Wyatt Barnes obtained years ago, and he became relieved.
With Brother Wyatt’s True Origin, comparable to the peak of the Great Saint Realm, once he activates the Demon Sealing Monument, he can indeed suppress and kill all Demon Cultivators below the Earth Saint Realm!
Saying he could kill a Demon Cultivator of the peak Human Saint Realm was not an exaggeration.
Of course, Augustine Landon was relieved because he knew Wyatt Barnes’ true identity and knew he possessed the Demon Sealing Monument.
But Atlas Dunn didn’t know any of this.
"Ridiculous!"
Atlas Dunn snapped back to reality, casting a scornful look at Wyatt Barnes, and mocked, "Wyatt, even if you want to boast, shouldn’t you prepare a ’draft’ first? You, a Martial Artist at the peak of the Great Saint Realm, not only have the gall to claim you can kill a Demon Cultivator of the early Human Saint Realm, but you even dare to say you can kill a Demon Cultivator of the peak Human Saint Realm... Do you think I would believe your ’nonsense’?!"
"Or perhaps... do you take me for a fool?"
As he finished speaking, Atlas Dunn sneered with a look as if saying, ’I’m very smart.’
"Ha ha..."
Wyatt Barnes burst into laughter, which took a while to subside.
"What are you laughing at?!"
Atlas Dunn was somewhat enraged and embarrassed, "Am I wrong?"
"Vice Mansion Leader Dunn, I do think you’re a fool!"
Under Atlas Dunn’s furious gaze, Wyatt Barnes said calmly, "Didn’t you hear what I just said? I mentioned that under normal circumstances, with my cultivation, it would be difficult to kill Tommy Dunn... But what if I have other resources?"
"I wonder if you’ve heard about a super sacred artifact that’s specifically designed to counter Demon Cultivators on the ’Top Ten Sacred Artifact List’ circulating in the Martial Dao Sacred Land!"
As he continued speaking, Wyatt Barnes intentionally reminded him.
Top Ten Sacred Artifact List?
Super Sacred Artifact?
And a super sacred artifact that specifically counters Demon Cultivators?
"Demon Sealing Monument!"
Immediately, a thought popped into Atlas Dunn’s mind.
As far as he knew, the only super sacred artifact on the Top Ten Sacred Artifact List capable of countering Demon Cultivators was the ’Demon Sealing Monument’!
Using the Demon Sealing Monument, one could even suppress and kill Demon Cultivators whose cultivation is up to a major realm higher than one’s own!
"Demon Sealing Monument... Isn’t it rumored to have been obtained by a young man several years ago? That young man’s name seemed to be ’Wyatt Barnes’! Wyatt Barnes, Wyatt..."
At that thought, Atlas Dunn looked at Wyatt Barnes as if he’d seen a ghost and exclaimed, "You... are you Wyatt Barnes?!"
"No way!"
Before Wyatt Barnes could respond, Atlas Dunn shook his head, rejecting his own speculation.
He had seen portraits of that Wyatt Barnes, who looked entirely different from the Wyatt in front of him, and there was no sign of disguise on this Wyatt’s face.
