Chapter 1879: Chapter 1879: Friends and Family from Afar
The people of the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land never expected it.
They had just learned that Wyatt Barnes, who had acquired the ’Demon Sealing Monument,’ was the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, and before long, the Demon Sealing Monument in Wyatt Barnes’ hands was snatched away by a powerhouse from the Upper Domain!
"If the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds hadn’t exposed his identity, he wouldn’t have been targeted by the Upper Domain powerhouses, and the Demon Sealing Monument wouldn’t have been taken away by them."
Many people sighed.
"He had to fulfill his ’five-year agreement’ with the Dragonsmith Clan, which destined him to expose his identity... However, the opportunity to enter the sacred land of the Dragonsmith Clan, the ’Dragon Washing Pool,’ seems somewhat a Pyrrhic victory compared to the Demon Sealing Monument."
"Indeed. If it were me, I’d rather not participate in that five-year agreement than lose the Demon Sealing Monument."
"Perhaps now the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds is also regretting it."
...
Most of the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land was abuzz, and the topic of conversation revolved entirely around ’Wyatt Barnes.’
The news spread far and wide, even reaching the Shadow Mountain Black Market and the Dragonsmith Clan.
"It was taken away so quickly?"
When the leader of the Shadow Mountain Black Market, ’Chris Imperial,’ got the news, he was a bit surprised, but not because the Demon Sealing Monument was taken from Wyatt Barnes, rather because it happened in such a short time.
Back then, when Wyatt fulfilled the five-year agreement with the Dragonsmith Clan and exposed his identity, Chris knew that Wyatt Barnes couldn’t hold onto the Demon Sealing Monument.
That’s why, at that time, even he lost any covetous thoughts towards the Demon Sealing Monument.
Because he knew, even he couldn’t protect the Demon Sealing Monument!
In front of some Upper Domain powerhouses, he, the leader of the Shadow Mountain Black Market, considered one of the strongest in the Martial Dao Sacred Land, was worth nothing!
"Deserved it!"
In the Dragonsmith Clan, apart from the Clan Chief ’Emperor Mountain,’ who said nothing, the rest, including the Law Enforcement Elder ’Zen Blood,’ and a group of Five-Clawed Divine Dragon elders, were gloating.
For the young man who killed their future Clan Chief and snatched the opportunity to enter their sacred land ’Dragon Washing Pool,’ they had no goodwill and wished not only for his Demon Sealing Monument to be taken but also for him to be killed.
"Seems like Wyatt Barnes ran into a lenient Upper Domain powerhouse."
"Indeed. Otherwise, he couldn’t have survived!"
"Perhaps when he met the Upper Domain powerhouse, he obediently knelt and begged for mercy, offering up the Demon Sealing Monument with both hands?"
...
The group of Five-Clawed Divine Dragon elders discussed sarcastically.
The message spread widely, and in no time, it seemed to have spread across nearly the entire Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.
In the distant Six-Rate Sacred Kingdom, ’Fletcher Kingdom,’ some time had passed since the news that Wyatt Barnes, who had initially acquired the Demon Sealing Monument, was the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, but the Swayer Family’s residence was still bustling.
Among them, even the imperial family members of the Fletcher Kingdom visited one by one.
Of course, their visit wasn’t for the head of the Swayer Family or any high-ranking members of the family.
Their visit was for the group of friends and family of Wyatt Barnes!
Including Trevor Baillie and Taoi Romero.
An entire day of socializing went on until the evening when Trevor Baillie, Taoi Romero, and others finally had a break, but each was thoroughly exhausted.
Such rounds of socializing had been their routine for several consecutive days.
"Wyatt really knows how to give us different ’shocks’ every time... This time it was not only news about his cultivation entering the ’Human Saint Realm,’ and that he killed the early Earth Saint Realm ’Emperor End,’ but also the revelation that he is the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds."
Demetrius Nangle stretched his limbs and, after a while, couldn’t help but complain.
"Wyatt’s cultivation entering the ’Human Saint Realm,’ and his becoming the Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds should make us happy for him."
Jaxx Nangle gave Demetrius a faint glance and said.
The current Jaxx Nangle, compared to his previously cold and distant self, had somewhat changed.
At least before, he wouldn’t have said such things.
"Jaxx Nangle is right, we should be happy for Wyatt Barnes... Demetrius, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, you can opt out of entertaining the guests from tomorrow on."
Handmi Holland said to Demetrius Nangle.
"I’m just saying..."
Demetrius shot Handmi Holland a disgruntled look, then sighed, "Even now, I still can’t quite wrap my head around it... Wyatt’s cultivation is understandable; he was always extraordinary. Though surprised he’s entered the ’Human Saint Realm,’ it’s not entirely shocking."
"But the problem is, how did his identity change so suddenly... Junior House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds? What kind of power is that? It’s one of the most powerful forces in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, and he actually is the Junior House Master!"
As he continued, Demetrius Nangle’s voice trembled slightly.
Even now, he felt like he was dreaming.
In his view, matters regarding Wyatt Barnes were simply too outrageous! Outrageous to the point that he found it hard to believe!
"I really never heard him mention that his father was the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds."
Handmi Holland chuckled wryly.
"Maybe even he himself didn’t know his father was the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds before... didn’t you hear him say? One of his reasons for coming to the Martial Dao Sacred Land was to find his parents."
Demetrius continued, "I’m really curious as to what his expression was when he found out his father was the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds... the Mansion of Azure Clouds isn’t an ordinary power, being one of the strongest among the two major forces in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, and a leader among the quasi-third-rate powers!"
"Wyatt killed Emperor End, which can be considered avenging those who died for the Heaven Fortin Sect... They can finally rest in peace."
Taoi Romero sighed.
As soon as Taoi Romero said this, a wave of silence swept over the scene.
The Emperor End that Wyatt Barnes killed while fulfilling the ’Five-Year Promise’, was the same Five-Clawed Golden Dragon ’Emperor End’ that destroyed the Heaven Fortin Sect on Crescent Island back then!
Back then, even they almost perished at the hands of Emperor End.
"That Emperor End probably could never have imagined... that five years later, the young man he considered an ant would have the power to kill him!"
Fill Bear’s eyes gleamed sharply as he spoke.
When he finished, admiration filled his face, admiration for his young master, Wyatt Barnes.
"Wyatt Barnes’ talent is beyond logical deduction... But having killed Emperor End, he certainly did it beautifully!"
Demetrius Nangle chuckled.
"What? Aren’t you tired of the ’social obligations’ brought by Wyatt Barnes?"
Handmi Holland teased with a smile, earning himself a glare from Demetrius Nangle.
"Will Junior Brother be in danger?"
Unlike Handmi Holland and the others, Trevor Baillie considered further, "After all, while fulfilling the Five-Year Promise, he also exposed his identity! Now, probably more than half of the Martial Dao Sacred Land’s Lower Domain knows he was the one who obtained the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ back then."
"The Demon Sealing Monument is a renowned super sacred artifact on the ’Top Ten Sacred Artifact List’, enough to tempt even the strong from the Upper Domain... If indeed a strong one from the Upper Domain becomes interested, even the Mansion of Azure Clouds may not be able to protect the Demon Sealing Monument in his hands!"
Thinking of this, Trevor Baillie’s expression also became grave.
Seeing Trevor Baillie’s serious expression, Taoi Romero and the others were naturally very intrigued.
However, as Trevor Baillie voiced his thoughts, they all gasped, "We hadn’t considered this before... Hearing Elder Baillie say this, Wyatt Barnes really is in danger!"
"If an Upper Domain expert descends, handing over the Demon Sealing Monument for safety is one thing... I’m just worried that with Wyatt Barnes’ disposition, he won’t likely cooperate. I’m afraid he might anger an Upper Domain expert and fall victim to them."
"With Wyatt Barnes’ intelligence, he should also realize this... I just hope he can evade in time before the Upper Domain experts arrive."
...
For a moment, including Trevor Baillie, everyone was worried about Wyatt Barnes.
Thinking about Wyatt Barnes’ situation, they all felt uneasy.
For the next two days, they continued dealing with social engagements from the outside world.
On the third day, news arrived that made their expressions change dramatically.
"An Upper Domain expert has descended on the Mansion of Azure Clouds and forcibly took the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ from Wyatt Barnes? Is Wyatt Barnes alright?"
Upon hearing this news, Trevor Baillie and the others’ expressions changed.
Their worst fears had come to pass!
"Is he unharmed? As long as he’s unharmed... As long as he’s unharmed."
However, upon hearing that Wyatt Barnes was only robbed of the Demon Sealing Monument and was unharmed, they couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Compared to the ’Demon Sealing Monument’, they were more concerned about Wyatt Barnes’ safety.
"What are you all talking about?"
Just as Trevor Baillie and the others were relaxing, a voice suddenly resonated as if coming from all directions, leaving them unable to discern its origin.
But just from the voice, they found it somewhat familiar.
Before they could react, three figures suddenly appeared in their field of vision, with two standing side by side, accompanied by a young boy.
The two standing side by side were people they were very familiar with.
"Junior Brother!"
"Wyatt!"
"Wyatt Barnes!"
"Young Master!"
"Master!"
Upon recognizing the young man’s face among the two standing side by side, Trevor Baillie and the others’ eyes lit up, and each of them displayed a look of surprise and joy.
They never expected that while they were just worrying about the person in front of them, in just a moment’s time, that person would appear before their eyes, allowing them to breathe another sigh of relief.
Hearing that Wyatt Barnes was unharmed and seeing him unscathed were two completely different concepts!
"Is everyone alright?"
Wyatt Barnes asked with a smile.
At the same time, standing beside Wyatt Barnes, holding the hand of a boy about six or seven years old, Jovie Lee also nodded at Trevor Baillie and the others, acknowledging their presence.
Everyone, except for Trevor Baillie, was familiar to him.
"Wyatt Barnes... how did you find Miss Jovie?"
Demetrius Nangle, spotting Jovie Lee standing beside Wyatt Barnes, couldn’t help but be taken aback.
