Chapter 1763: Chapter 1763: House Master of the Mysterious Void House, Ryatt Morgan!
Under Wyatt Barnes’ gaze, a figure finally emerged in the distant sky.
The Temple Leader of the Heavenly Palace was an elderly man of medium build, with white hair. Besides his graying eyebrows, he also sported a goatee on his chin, appearing kindly, yet his occasionally glinting eyes seemed to convey his complexity.
The Heavenly Palace Leader wore a gray robe, standing mid-air, unaffected by the fierce winds brushing past him.
"Are you Wyatt?"
In the eyes of all present, the Heavenly Palace Leader’s gaze fell upon Wyatt Barnes, his initially piercing eyes softening slightly.
"Temple Leader."
Wyatt Barnes slightly nodded.
"Not bad."
The Heavenly Palace Leader nodded, a smile gracing the corners of his mouth, before withdrawing his gaze, speaking lightly, "Since everyone is here, let’s set off!"
Immediately, under the Temple Leader’s lead, Vice Hall Master ’Lay Sinclair’ and his disciple ’Matthew King’ followed closely behind.
As for Wyatt Barnes and others, they followed behind Lay Sinclair and Matthew King on their way to the Main Mansion.
The entrance to the Martial Secret Realm of the Mysterious Void Palace was located within the Main Mansion.
"It seems the Temple Leader greatly values Wyatt."
"Indeed. Among so many Heavenly Palace disciples, he acknowledged only Wyatt, ignoring everyone else, including Tommy Dunn."
"He truly deserves to be the top among the younger generation of our Mysterious Void Palace, extraordinary indeed."
...
Not only the Heavenly Palace disciples witnessing the spectacle from the peak of the Heavenly Palace, but also many disciples accompanying Wyatt Barnes to the Main Mansion whispered similar sentiments.
Upon hearing these whispers, most seemed unperturbed, but Tommy Dunn’s face darkened completely.
Tommy Dunn, after all, was the son of the Mysterious Void Palace Vice House Master, and his grandfather was one of the two Protectors of the Mysterious Void Palace.
Once, he had been the heavenly pride, the focal point of attention.
However, Wyatt Barnes’ arrival turned him into a neglected object, something he, with his strong sense of pride, could never accept.
Thus, Tommy Dunn’s gaze towards Wyatt Barnes brimmed with deeper hatred.
Although Wyatt Barnes didn’t deliberately pay attention to Tommy Dunn’s gaze, he could still feel it.
However, he wasn’t concerned in the slightest.
To him, Tommy Dunn now was akin to a mad dog on the roadside, and engaging with a mad dog would only demean him.
If Tommy Dunn knew Wyatt Barnes’ thoughts, he would surely be incensed to the point of spitting blood endlessly.
Under the Heavenly Palace Leader’s guidance, Wyatt Barnes and the others arrived at a vast area behind the Main Mansion...
Upon arriving, they saw a group already present here, headed by someone whom Wyatt Barnes recognized as the Vice Hall Master of the Yellow Palace.
"Senior Brother Watson, your Heavenly Palace arrived quite early."
The leader of that group, whose identity anyone could guess, was evidently the Yellow Palace Leader, now voluntarily greeting the arriving Heavenly Palace group.
And his greeting was directly aimed at the Heavenly Palace Leader, Oliver Watson.
"Junior Brother Jimenez, your Yellow Palace was even earlier."
Facing Yellow Palace Leader ’Lachlan Jimenez’, Oliver Watson replied with a faint smile.
"This must be Wyatt, I have heard much about your reputation. Seeing you today, you indeed live up to your name."
Soon, Lachlan Jimenez’s gaze landed on Wyatt Barnes. Though he had never met Wyatt Barnes, the Vice Hall Master behind him had.
Therefore, with that Vice Hall Master’s prompt, Lachlan easily identified ’Wyatt’.
"Thank you, Palace Leader Jimenez, for your praise."
Considering Lachlan was the Yellow Palace Leader, Wyatt Barnes naturally couldn’t be dismissive, smiling slightly in response.
Witnessing this scene, Tommy Dunn’s eyes reddened with jealousy; he, the son of a Vice House Master and grandson of a Protector, seemed invisible to the Yellow Palace Leader, who instead favored a rural lad appearing out of nowhere.
Of course, though seething, Tommy Dunn directed his anger entirely at Wyatt Barnes.
The Yellow Palace Leader wasn’t merely a palace leader within the Mysterious Void Palace but also held the title of ’Vice House Master,’ ranking socially equal to Tommy Dunn’s father.
Arguably, in true comparison, his father’s position was far inferior to Lachlan’s.
Within the Mysterious Void Palace, the leaders of the Heavenly, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow Palaces hold the ’Vice House Master’ posts, responsible not only for protecting the Mysterious Void Palace but also for governing the four palaces.
The four palaces are the foundation of the Mysterious Void Palace, hence entrusted to the most experienced and potent four Vice House Masters.
These esteemed Palace Leaders align with the grandfather’s generation of Tommy Dunn, though less formidable compared to Tommy Dunn’s grandfather, yet superior to Tommy Dunn’s father.
Among the four Palace Leaders, the Heavenly Palace Leader ’Oliver Watson’ ranks the highest in seniority and strength.
Within the Mysterious Void Palace, Oliver Watson is acknowledged as the fourth powerhouse, his prowess trailing only the House Master and the two Protectors.
"You certainly command respect, even the Yellow Palace Leader proactively greets you."
Wyatt Barnes heard Ebba King’s voice transmission in his ear.
If it were before, when Ebba King said these words, she would have done so sourly, but now, she was genuinely happy for Wyatt Barnes from the bottom of her heart.
Ten days ago, at the peak of the Heavenly Palace, facing two Great Saint Realm experts, Wyatt Barnes shielded her as if he were her Guardian Deity. At that moment, Wyatt’s actions touched her deepest and most vulnerable spot.
That place, no one had ever touched before.
Wyatt Barnes was the first to touch that place. Perhaps he was the only man in her life capable of reaching that place in her heart.
"Wyatt, someday, I will certainly break into your heart and become your woman!"
Even though Ebba King was a straightforward woman, when this thought crossed her mind, she couldn’t help but blush, her cheeks turning a rosy red.
Of course, Wyatt Barnes was unaware of all this; he merely regarded Ebba as a friend worth making.
Soon, the people from the Earth Palace and the Mystic Palace also arrived one after another. The leaders were the Palace Masters of the Earth Palace and the Mystic Palace, respectively.
After they arrived, they greeted the Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace and the Palace Master of the Yellow Palace, and then looked at Wyatt Barnes with great interest.
Regarding Wyatt Barnes, a young genius who had just joined the Mysterious Void Mansion and was already recognized as the top young talent there, their hearts were filled with curiosity.
Having seen him in person, they couldn’t help but sigh. Such an outstanding genius, why isn’t he under one of their own palaces?
Seeing that the Palace Masters of the Earth Palace and the Mystic Palace were also eager to greet Wyatt Barnes, Tommy Dunn was so angry that his body trembled, his heart seemingly ready to leap out of his chest at any moment.
"Exactly thirty people."
Wyatt Barnes glanced at the lineup of the Earth Palace, Mystic Palace, and Yellow Palace, noticing that the Saint Realm disciples brought by the three palaces totaled twenty people. Adding the ten from their Heavenly Palace made up thirty in total.
At this moment, the Saint Realm disciples from the other three palaces also began to scrutinize Wyatt Barnes.
Many revealed a wary gaze, while quite a few others showed signs of jealousy and envy.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
...
As the Palace Masters of the four palaces simultaneously turned to look towards the distant sky, Wyatt Barnes and the others also turned to look in that direction.
At first, the distant sky was calm, but moments later, the hazy white clouds began to ripple, eventually revealing several figures.
One led the way, with four following closely behind.
Leading them was a man dressed in a white robe with gold trim, appearing as a middle-aged man with a jade-like face. As he walked through the void, the air seemed to tremble with each step, as if he were carving his own unique path.
Moreover, the middle-aged man exuded an unparalleled aura of majesty, an aura even more intense than that of the four Palace Masters.
His arrival felt like the presence of a king assuming his throne!
At this moment, without any introduction or explanation, Wyatt Barnes and others who hadn’t seen this middle-aged man could already guess his identity:
The House Master of the Mysterious Void Mansion, Ryatt Morgan!
As the leader of a sub-Third-Rate Power, Ryatt Morgan’s reputation in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land was monumental. Wyatt had heard of his name even before arriving at the Mysterious Void Mansion, knowing him to be an elite powerhouse of the Martial Dao Sacred Land’s Lower Domain.
His formidable strength was second only to the leader of the Shadow Mountain black market and the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds!
Such a figure, with just a stomp, could cause the entire Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land to tremble thrice.
Hence, when facing him, even Wyatt Barnes adopted a more serious demeanor, putting aside his usual jocular attitude.
However, upon seeing one of the four people following behind Ryatt Morgan, Wyatt couldn’t help but be surprised, "Senior Brother Augustine? How... how did he come here as well? And he’s even accompanying the House Master."
Wyatt Barnes had long noticed that the surrounding area was vast, yet there were no other people present.
He had thus speculated that others were likely prohibited from approaching.
Otherwise, many would have come to watch the spectacle.
He had thought he wouldn’t see Augustine, but unexpectedly, Augustine had arrived with House Master Ryatt Morgan.
"Junior Brother Wyatt."
In the instant Wyatt Barnes noticed Augustine, Augustine’s voice transmission timely reached his ear.
"Senior Brother Augustine, how did you come here? And you’re even with the House Master."
Wyatt Barnes responded with some surprise in his voice transmission.
Augustine transmitted back, "Truth be told, it’s all thanks to you."
"Me?"
Wyatt Barnes looked bewildered.
"Indeed, it’s due to your deduction. After I reported on the matter of the Sky-scraping Mansion’s Junior House Master, Peace Adams, the House Master acknowledged my contribution. When I expressed my desire to witness the opening day of the Sacred Martial Secret Realm, he readily agreed... And so, I arrived with him."
Augustine transmitted back.
"I see."
Wyatt Barnes realized.
"Hmm?"
Just then, Wyatt Barnes noticed that among the three people accompanying Ryatt Morgan, one was staring at him with an unfriendly gaze.
