Chapter 1844: Chapter 1844: Birds of a Feather
Currently, Wyatt Barnes does not appear in his original form.
To meet Atlas Dunn, he has disguised himself back into the persona of ’Wyatt’.
"Something’s not right?"
Upon hearing Atlas Dunn speak repeatedly, Wyatt Barnes said indifferently, "Do you think that since there are no traces of disguise on my face... I must not be Wyatt Barnes?"
Before Atlas Dunn could respond, he saw the facial muscles of ’Wyatt’ in front of him suddenly contort.
Soon, a completely new face appeared before his eyes!
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed that such a magical ’disguise technique’ could exist in this world.
Although it was clearly a disguised appearance, Divine Sense couldn’t detect any signs of disguise!
"You... you are Wyatt Barnes!"
After recovering from his shock, Atlas Dunn examined Wyatt Barnes for a while, only to find that his current appearance was exactly the same as the person in the portrait he saw years ago.
And the person in the portrait back then was none other than Wyatt Barnes, who had obtained the Demon Sealing Monument!
"Yes, I am Wyatt Barnes. Vice Mansion Leader Dunn, do you now believe your son was killed by me?"
Wyatt Barnes taunted.
Atlas Dunn’s expression darkened; upon seeing Wyatt Barnes reveal his true face, he realized that everything Wyatt Barnes said must be true.
His son was indeed killed by Wyatt Barnes!
More precisely, his son was killed by Wyatt Barnes using the Demon Sealing Monument!
He still remembered that his son had been killed by a soul-crushing attack, with no sign of external injuries left on his body.
The Demon Sealing Monument slays demon cultivators by directly annihilating their souls!
All doubts were suddenly cleared up.
The murderer of his son had finally been found!
"Wyatt... No, I should call you Wyatt Barnes!"
Atlas Dunn looked at Wyatt Barnes with hatred, mixed with greed towards the ’Demon Sealing Monument,’ "Thank you for telling me it was you who killed my son... In that case, I’ll reward you with a quick death!"
Just as Atlas Dunn finished speaking, his power burst forth intensely, and he moved to charge towards Wyatt Barnes.
At this moment, only one thing remained in Atlas Dunn’s mind:
Kill Wyatt Barnes to avenge his son and seize the Demon Sealing Monument!
The Demon Sealing Monument, one of the ten super sacred artifacts on the Top Ten Sacred Artifact List, was a coveted item that anyone would dream of obtaining, and Atlas Dunn was no exception.
At this moment, Atlas Dunn had completely forgotten that he was currently in the Mansion of Azure Clouds!
He also hadn’t thought about why Wyatt Barnes dared to reveal his true appearance and admit to killing his son in front of him.
At this moment, Atlas Dunn was entirely lost in his desires for revenge and greed.
"Insolent!"
Just as Atlas Dunn leaned forward slightly, before he could make a move, a thunderous voice resonated inside the grand hall, deafening.
The voice carried hints of age.
Whoosh!
At the same time, a shadowy figure suddenly appeared in front of Atlas Dunn, blocking his path.
Bang!
Without any visible movement from the figure, Atlas Dunn, who had charged forward with an air of wind and thunder, was hurled away effortlessly, landing awkwardly on the ground like a sprawl.
"Urgh!"
Atlas Dunn was thrown into disarray, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he struggled to stand, but due to his severe injuries, he couldn’t manage to rise.
When he opened his eyes and looked forward, he saw an elderly figure standing in defense before Wyatt Barnes.
"Asa Honorston!"
Seeing the old man standing protectively before Wyatt Barnes, Atlas Dunn’s expression changed drastically.
Asa Honorston was one of the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master’s closest aides, equally renowned alongside ’Withered.’
His strength was second only to the House Master of their Mysterious Void Mansion!
Even stronger than the two Protectors of their Mysterious Void Mansion!
"Junior House Master!"
However, when Atlas Dunn saw Asa Honorston turn around and respectfully bow to Wyatt Barnes, his pupils involuntarily constricted again, his face filled with shock.
Junior House Master?
The only one Asa Honorston would call ’Junior House Master’ would likely be the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master’s son!
But, he had never heard that the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master had a son!
Moreover, it was this murderer of his son!
"Wyatt Barnes... Lanni Barnes... both have the surname Barnes..."
When Atlas Dunn came to his senses, muttering the names of Wyatt Barnes and the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master Lanni Barnes, he quickly realized they shared the same surname, his heart sinking once more, "Could it be... this Wyatt Barnes is indeed the son of the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master Lanni Barnes?!"
"No way! If he’s the son of the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master, why would he disguise himself as Wyatt and come to our Mysterious Void Mansion?"
"Could it be for the ’Sacred Martial Realm’?"
...
Atlas Dunn was utterly perplexed.
In his wildest dreams, he never imagined that the young man their Dunn Family line wished to kill would turn out to be the son of the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master!
"Elder Honorston."
Facing Asa Honorston’s salute, Wyatt Barnes responded with a smile, never daring to be disrespectful to this elder who had been a loyal company to his father for many years.
As for the previous ’misunderstanding,’ his father had explained later, and he realized he had misunderstood the old man.
Indeed, Asa Honorston had handed the delicate jade box to his father, and it was his father who had instructed Asa Honorston to tell the notifying Blackarmor soldier that he was a ’fraud’... His father did so primarily to test Wyatt’s prowess!
Now that the past grievances have been resolved, there is naturally no more barrier between him and Asa Honorston.
"Junior House Master, what should be done with this person?"
Facing Wyatt Barnes, Asa Honorston was extremely respectful, as if he regarded Wyatt as his most esteemed House Master, Lanni Barnes.
Love me, love my dog!
"Confine him first... leave the rest to me."
Wyatt Barnes said.
"Yes!"
Asa Honorston nodded respectfully, then turned around, raised his hand, and immediately confined the escaping Atlas Dunn.
The power belonging to an Earth Saint Realm expert transformed into an invisible force, entering Atlas Dunn’s body, completely suppressing his strength.
For a moment, Atlas Dunn’s face turned deathly pale as he collapsed to the ground, becoming an ordinary person in a short time.
Wyatt Barnes stepped forward, standing before Atlas Dunn, looking down at him lying on the ground, he clicked his tongue and asked, "Vice Mansion Leader Dunn, are you alright?"
Atlas Dunn, lying on the ground, had his face showing a mix of emotions.
The hatred and greed in his eyes disappeared, replaced by panic and despair!
The hatred for the death of his son, the Demon Sealing Monument, at this moment, were completely forgotten.
Now, the most precious thing to him was undoubtedly his life!
Only if he stays alive can he think of anything else.
If his life is gone, then everything is gone!
"Junior House Master!"
At this moment, accompanied by a respectful call, an unexpected scene unfolded for Wyatt Barnes.
Atlas Dunn, who had his strength confined by Asa Honorston and temporarily became an ordinary person, after rolling on the ground, actually knelt before him.
"Junior House Master, I was unaware of your identity before, I deeply apologize... please forgive me this once, I swear I won’t provoke you again! If you don’t believe me, I’m willing to swear a Thunder Punishment oath!"
At this moment, Atlas Dunn abandoned the dignity of the Vice House Master of the Mysterious Void Mansion, forsaking all pride.
He was left with only one thought in his mind:
Survive!
He must find a way to survive!
Because he hadn’t lived enough, and he didn’t want to die!
"Truly like father, like son... Atlas Dunn, the way you are begging now is just like how your son Tommy Dunn was before he died, because he begged me in the same manner."
If Atlas Dunn had shown a bit more backbone, Wyatt Barnes might have even had some respect for him.
However, seeing Atlas Dunn’s pitiful state now simply disgusted him.
Atlas Dunn heard Wyatt Barnes’ words.
Although he was seething with anger inside, he dared not show it, remaining as humble as possible.
"Junior House Master, if you are willing to spare me, I am willing to swear a Thunder Punishment oath and be your ’dog’... from this day forward, if you point, I bite, without a word of dissent!"
Atlas Dunn’s humility made Wyatt Barnes frown.
Is this really the Vice Mansion Leader of the Mysterious Void Mansion?
Augustine Landon, who had been standing quietly by, unable to hold back, also looked at Atlas Dunn and cursed, "Atlas Dunn, you are unworthy to be our Mysterious Void Mansion’s Vice Mansion Leader, you have utterly disgraced us!"
Yet, faced with Augustine’s reproach, Atlas Dunn seemed not to hear it, eagerly looking at Wyatt Barnes, full of pleading.
Now, he was only left with a desire to survive!
As for anything else, he no longer cared!
Even Asa Honorston frowned at this moment.
Obviously, Atlas Dunn’s cowardice and fear of death had also made him feel a sense of disgust.
"Junior House Master, I beg you, spare me just this once!"
Atlas Dunn continued to plead.
"Elder Honorston, I don’t want to see him again."
An expression of disdain flashed in the depths of Wyatt Barnes’ gaze, not wanting to see Atlas Dunn any longer.
For someone who held the position of Vice Mansion Leader of the Mysterious Void Mansion to lack backbone when facing death, it was truly pathetic!
"No!!"
Hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Atlas Dunn’s pupils shrank, his face changed dramatically, and he began thrashing and struggling on the ground.
With his power confined, he was destined to be at the mercy of others!
After executing Atlas Dunn, Asa Honorston also exited the central hall.
"Senior."
Having been standing outside the central hall, the Centurion of the Blackarmor Army, Zachary Tackman, seeing Asa Honorston exit, immediately bowed to him respectfully.
Zachary Tackman’s master was Withered, a name as renowned as Asa Honorston’s in the Mansion of Azure Clouds!
Although Asa Honorston and Withered did not share the title of senior and junior brothers, as lifelong friends, they regarded each other as brothers.
Therefore, Asa Honorston’s disciples usually referred to Withered as ’Uncle Master.’
And Withered’s disciples referred to Asa Honorston as ’Senior Master.’
In terms of age, Asa Honorston was a bit older than Withered.
After Asa Honorston left, only Wyatt Barnes and Augustine Landon remained in the hall, exchanging wry smiles as they looked at each other.
"Brother Landon."
Finally, it was Wyatt Barnes who broke the silence first, "I fear I won’t be able to make it to the ’Upper Domain’ in the near future... I reckon I’ll have to wait another year or so before I can go there."
In ten months, I must go to the Dragonsmith Clan to fulfill the ’Five-Year Agreement’!
