Chapter 1831: Chapter 1831: Winty Landon’s Shock
Atlas Dunn had been searching for several days but found no trace of Wyatt Barnes.
In the end, he could only return in frustration.
"I hope Father doesn’t come back too soon... Otherwise, I have no idea how to explain this to him! His love for Tommy Dunn has reached the point of spoiling him. If he finds out Tommy is dead, he definitely won’t be able to handle it!"
On his way back, Atlas Dunn prayed silently.
However, it was destined to be wishful thinking, for when he returned, he found his father had already come back.
"I heard Tommy is back? Where is he?"
These were the first words Edison Dunn said upon seeing Atlas.
With a thud!
Hearing these words, Atlas fell to his knees before Edison, his face filled with sorrow as he lowered his head and said, "Father, Tommy... Tommy, he... he’s dead!"
Boom!
Atlas’s words hit Edison like a bolt from the blue, causing his pupils to constrict and his expression to change drastically.
Then he looked sharply at Atlas and asked, "What exactly happened? I’ve only been gone a short while, how could this happen?"
"Father, it went like this..."
Atlas then relayed the entire sequence of events to Edison.
This also included Tommy obtaining the ancient Beast Demon’s legacy and advancing to the ’early Human Saint Realm’ in cultivation.
Knowing that his grandson had reached the ’early Human Saint Realm’ at less than forty years of age, Edison should have been ecstatic...
But before he could celebrate, he learned that his grandson, who had such great fortune, had already died, killed by a soul attack through Divine Sense.
At some point, Atlas had brought out Tommy’s corpse.
"Tommy..."
Looking at Tommy’s body, Edison’s tears fell as he gently caressed Tommy’s cheek. His eyes suddenly turned icy as he said, "So, even if Wyatt isn’t the one who killed Tommy, he is indirectly responsible?"
"Yes!"
Atlas nodded with an angry expression and said, "If it weren’t for Wyatt leaving the Mysterious Void Manor, Tommy wouldn’t have gone after him... If Tommy hadn’t gone after him, he wouldn’t have died! So, Wyatt is indirectly an ’accomplice’ in Tommy’s death!"
"Is it possible... that the kid from the Landon Family found another expert skilled in soul attacks to protect Wyatt’s departure, and that person killed Tommy with a soul attack?"
Edison speculated with a serious expression.
"That’s possible!"
If not for Edison’s reminder, Atlas wouldn’t have thought of this.
"Let’s go! Come with me to find Augustine!"
After Edison’s words, he took Tommy’s body to find Augustine Landon.
Augustine used Winty Landon’s network to gather a group of experts to restrain the existence of those above the Human Saint Realm in the Dunn Family.
He did this to protect his friend, and Edison couldn’t blame him for this because the Dunn Family was indeed at fault for that matter.
However, if Augustine found someone to protect Wyatt who then killed his grandson ’Tommy’...
Then the situation would be completely different!
However, when they confronted Augustine, Augustine firmly denied it, "I only found people to contain those above the Human Saint Realm in your Dunn Family; I didn’t find any expert skilled in soul attacks to protect Junior Brother Wyatt... When Junior Brother Wyatt left, he was alone!"
"If you don’t believe me, I can swear a ’Thunder Punishment Oath’!"
After Augustine made the Thunder Punishment Oath, Edison and Atlas realized they were wrong.
Augustine didn’t find anyone to escort Wyatt.
So, who killed their grandson, their son?
After Edison and Atlas left, Winty Landon couldn’t help but sigh, "Who would have thought Tommy would die outside... But what was he, a Middle Saint Realm martial artist, doing outside? Hunting down Wyatt?"
"Hmph! With his limited strength, chasing Junior Brother Wyatt is just courting death!"
Augustine snorted dismissively and said, "In my view, it’s highly likely that Tommy died at the hands of Junior Brother Wyatt!"
"It probably wasn’t Wyatt... Earlier, they also said Tommy died from a soul attack expert’s attack with no external injuries found. As far as I know, Wyatt isn’t skilled in soul attacks!"
Winty Landon shook his head and said, offering a different perspective.
"In any case, that Tommy deserved death! With him gone, the Mysterious Void Manor is rid of a scourge."
Augustine spoke indifferently, showing no sympathy for Tommy’s death and even a bit of schadenfreude.
"Augustine, it’s fine to say these things here, but if they spread out, Edison and Atlas won’t let it rest! To them, Tommy was their ’lifeline’... Now, even if Atlas finds another woman to have a son with, it would take decades to raise him to be like Tommy."
Winty Landon understood Edison and Atlas’ feelings all too well.
If it were Augustine in trouble, Winty would probably be even more emotional and irrational than Edison and Atlas!
"Yes, Father."
Knowing Winty was advising him for his own good, Augustine readily agreed.
"Augustine, where exactly has Wyatt gone? Didn’t he promise to wait for you to break through to the Human Saint Realm and go to the ’Upper Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land together? Could it be that he left you alone and went to the Upper Domain?"
Winty Landon asked curiously.
Now, with Edison Dunn and Atlas Dunn not around, Augustine could speak freely in front of his father.
However, he did not intend to immediately reveal Wyatt Barnes’s identity and chose to do it gradually, "Father, Junior Brother Wyatt’s last name is not ’Wyatt’."
"Isn’t his name Wyatt? How could his last name not be ’Wyatt’?"
Winty Landon was puzzled.
"Wyatt is his first name. As for his last name... father, can you guess what it is?"
At this point, Augustine deliberately dragged out his words.
"The world is so vast, with so many surnames... how would I know what his last name is!"
Winty Landon said irritably, "Alright! Stop beating around the bush... just tell me, what is Wyatt’s last name?"
"He shares the same last name as the current House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds."
Augustine smiled.
"The current House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds? Lanni Barnes? Wyatt’s last name is Barnes?"
Winty Landon was somewhat surprised, "So, his full name is not Wyatt, but Wyatt Barnes... No, Wyatt Barnes... Wyatt Barnes... This name sounds familiar. I just can’t remember where I’ve heard it before."
"Demon Sealing Monument!"
Augustine reminded him at the right moment.
Demon Sealing Monument!
With Augustine’s reminder, the fog in Winty Landon’s mind cleared, and he suddenly realized, "I remember now... the lucky young man who got the Demon Sealing Monument, causing quite a stir back then, was called ’Wyatt Barnes’! I never expected Wyatt to have the same name as that Wyatt Barnes."
"The name Wyatt Barnes is not common."
Winty Landon laughed.
The reason he did not connect the Wyatt Barnes he knew with that ’Wyatt Barnes’ was that he could confirm that Wyatt Barnes had not undergone any disguise, and he had also seen the portrait of that ’Wyatt Barnes.’
Although both were very handsome, they were completely different individuals.
"Father, Junior Brother Wyatt is indeed that Wyatt Barnes who obtained the Demon Sealing Monument back then!"
Seeing that Winty Landon was still misunderstanding despite his reminder, Augustine was speechless and promptly clarified.
"What?!"
Winty Landon was naturally taken aback by Augustine’s words, but he quickly shook his head, "Impossible! I personally saw the portrait of that Wyatt Barnes, and it’s not the same as Wyatt at all... I can also be sure that Wyatt definitely did not undergo any disguise! Unless that Wyatt Barnes’s portrait was drawn after Wyatt had disguised himself."
Augustine sighed, knowing that if he didn’t explain, his father would not understand.
As for telling Winty Landon about these things, Augustine had previously sought Wyatt Barnes’s opinion... If it was just informing Winty Landon, Wyatt had no objection.
After Augustine’s explanation, Winty Landon was left speechless in shock.
The genius ’Eden Lee,’ who once appeared in the Sky-scraping Mansion region like a fleeting meteor, was not Wyatt Barnes’s senior brother, but Wyatt Barnes himself in disguise!
Later on, Wyatt was also a disguise of Wyatt Barnes.
Wyatt Barnes’s true appearance was exactly like the portrait that circulated back then.
Not only had Winty Landon seen it, but he also still had a copy of Wyatt Barnes’s portrait with him.
Rustle!
Unfolding the portrait, looking at the handsome young man on it, Winty Landon sighed, "So this is Wyatt’s true appearance! However, Wyatt is really lucky to obtain the famous super sacred artifact ’Demon Sealing Monument’ on the ’Top Ten Sacred Artifact List’... The Demon Sealing Monument is a super sacred artifact capable of restraining demon cultivators!"
"Augustine!"
Suddenly, Winty Landon’s expression turned serious, his eyes fixed on Augustine, "Remember, never reveal Wyatt’s true identity to anyone else... Once this matter spreads, he will surely become the target of all. At that time, his enemies will not only be the Dunn Family but the entire Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, and even the entire Martial Dao Sacred Land!"
The allure of the Demon Sealing Monument was something Winty Landon understood well.
Even he, if not for considering Wyatt Barnes as one of his own, would surely have thoughts of killing for the treasure.
Simply because the allure of the Demon Sealing Monument was too great!
"I understand."
Augustine nodded, "I only told you after consulting with Junior Brother Wyatt... As for others, without Wyatt’s consent, I would never say a word!"
"That’s good."
Winty Landon nodded in satisfaction before asking again, "You still haven’t told me... Was Wyatt in a hurry to leave, not waiting for you, because he went to the ’Upper Domain’ first?"
"No."
Augustine shook his head, "He went to the Mansion of Azure Clouds. As for me, I stayed behind to inform you... In a few days, I will also go to the Mansion of Azure Clouds to find Junior Brother Wyatt, and then we will leave the Lower Domain together and head to the Upper Domain!"
"Mansion of Azure Clouds? What is he doing there?"
Winty Landon frowned, "Could it be that he was persuaded by people from the Mansion of Azure Clouds to join them?"
