Chapter 1759: Chapter 1759: Winty Landon
In the Mysterious Void Mansion, even though there are no Human Saint Realm experts specializing in spiritual power and Divine Sense, there is no shortage of Middle Saint Realm experts.
Therefore, performing the Soul Searching Technique is not a difficult task for the Mysterious Void Mansion.
"However, ten days from now is the day when the Saint Martial Secret Realm will open... Even if the Mysterious Void Mansion intends to take action against the Sky-scraping Mansion, it will likely wait until we emerge from the Saint Martial Secret Realm."
The opening of the Saint Martial Secret Realm, personally presided over by the House Master of the Mysterious Void Mansion, was something Wyatt Barnes had heard of before.
Needless to say, at this critical moment, the Mysterious Void Mansion will not act against the Sky-scraping Mansion.
Even without the opening of the Saint Martial Secret Realm, the Mysterious Void Mansion would likely need some time to devise a strategy to deal with the Sky-scraping Mansion.
Although the Sky-scraping Mansion’s strength is nowhere near that of the Mysterious Void Mansion, as a fourth-rate power, it is not to be underestimated.
If they were to confront head-on, even if the Mysterious Void Mansion could destroy the Sky-scraping Mansion, it would undoubtedly suffer significant damage, though not to the Mansion’s core.
But with adequate preparation, the Mysterious Void Mansion could take down the Sky-scraping Mansion without nearly any damage!
This is the strength of a quasi-third-rate power!
"Wait a minute!"
Just as Wyatt Barnes set foot into the room, a voice came from behind, a woman’s voice.
Without turning back, Wyatt could tell who the voice belonged to; it was Ebba King.
"Is something wrong?"
Wyatt turned around, smiling at Ebba King.
Due to what had happened earlier, Wyatt had come to fully accept Ebba King as a friend.
Ebba King, though a woman, had a sense of responsibility surpassing many men.
When he faced Ray Dunn and Black Dunn, Ebba King knew she was no match, yet she still stood up to face hardship with him.
In this world, people who celebrate with you in good times are never lacking, but people like Ebba King who offer help in times of trouble are rare indeed.
Seeing Wyatt smiling at her, Ebba King blushed slightly.
She had noticed the obvious change in Wyatt’s attitude toward her, which brought her joy.
"It’s actually nothing much; I just wanted to ask if you already knew Brother Augustine before?"
Ebba King asked.
"I didn’t know him."
Wyatt shook his head; before today, he hadn’t known Augustine, nor had he heard of him.
Of course, that wasn’t because Augustine wasn’t famous; Wyatt simply hadn’t paid attention.
"So, Brother Augustine was telling the truth? Before today, he really hadn’t known you? And he helped you because of your talent and because he felt you suited him?"
Believing Wyatt’s words, Ebba King couldn’t help but express surprise.
"It’s not entirely that way."
Wyatt didn’t intend to hide anything from Ebba King, "You should remember the elder who guards the spirit pool at the Heavenly Palace? That’s Brother Augustine’s father’s mentor and also Brother Augustine’s grandmaster. Because that elder mentioned me and praised me verbally, Brother Augustine started to notice me."
"Today, he came to see me... As for later, he helped me partly because he felt my temperament suited him."
Wyatt finished speaking.
"That elder... is Protector Landon’s mentor?"
After hearing Wyatt’s words, Ebba King gasped with surprise, clearly shocked.
Protector Landon, Augustine’s father, is one of the two Protectors of the Mysterious Void Mansion.
In the Mysterious Void Mansion, the two Protectors are only second in status to the House Master; correspondingly, their strength is also only below the House Master.
This indicates the elder’s extraordinary status in the Mysterious Void Mansion.
After a while, Ebba King recovered from her shock, looked at Wyatt again, and said, "I’ve come to tell you one more thing... that the other person from Tengyue Mansion, like Isaias Tasker, didn’t get the chance to enter the Saint Martial Secret Realm. So, the favor you owe their elder can’t be repaid this time."
"Hmm."
Wyatt nodded, not overly surprised by this, as he wasn’t sure if the other person from Tengyue Mansion would get the chance to enter the Saint Martial Secret Realm.
"I’ve told you everything; I won’t disturb you anymore. Focus on your cultivation. See you in ten days!"
After bidding farewell, Ebba King left.
Wyatt returned to his room, immediately entering the third layer of the Jewel Tower, where ten days outside equated to fifty days inside, equivalent to nearly two months.
In nearly two months, it’s enough time for Wyatt to further enhance his cultivation level and comprehend the supreme Sword Dao of the "Supreme Heart Sword."
While Wyatt cultivated, the seemingly calm Mysterious Void Mansion was also teeming with undercurrents.
After separating from Wyatt, Augustine went to find his father, one of the two Protectors of the Mysterious Void Mansion, Winty Landon.
"Augustine, what urgency brings you to me?"
If it had been anyone else disturbing him from his cultivation, he would have been furious; however, since the person was his only son, he wasn’t angry but instead asked gently with a smile.
"Father, I didn’t mean to interrupt your cultivation... but this matter is too important!"
Augustine spoke with a solemn and serious expression.
"Oh? What matter?"
Winty Landon, understanding his son well, knew that if it weren’t for something important, Augustine wouldn’t be so serious.
Perhaps infected by Augustine, Winty Landon’s expression grew slightly serious.
Facing his father, Augustine, with Wyatt’s permission, revealed Wyatt’s deductions completely.
"Sky-scraping Mansion Vice House Master ’Peace Adams’? A Devil Path technique recorded with Soul Gathering methods?"
Listening to Augustine, Winty Landon’s pupils involuntarily contracted.
As one of the Mysterious Void Mansion’s two Protectors, and Augustine’s father, Winty Landon’s knowledge naturally surpassed Augustine’s.
Regarding Soul Gathering methods, he understood better, knowing it’s a technique that grants Demon Cultivators a second life.
In the Martial Dao Sacred Land, the Devil Path technique recorded with Soul Gathering methods is exceedingly rare, barely found in the Lower Domain, and typically only exists in the Upper Domain, where strong cultivators abound.
Now, he’d learned from his son that such a Devil Path technique had appeared in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.
Instantly, Winty Landon’s breathing hastened.
If such a Devil Path technique were to defy the heavens and be appallingly heinous, once discovered, it must be destroyed!
If it’s not inhumanly devastating, obtaining it would be a great opportunity for the Mysterious Void Mansion.
Perhaps, through this Devil Path technique, numerous strong Demon Cultivators would emerge in the Mysterious Void Mansion, potentially competing with the Shadow Mountain Black Market and the Mansion of Azure Clouds, becoming forces standing at the pinnacle of the Martial Dao Sacred Land’s Lower Domain.
In the Martial Dao Sacred Land’s Lower Domain, a quasi-third-rate power is generally considered at the pinnacle.
But in truth, only two forces stand at the pinnacle of the Martial Dao Sacred Land’s Lower Domain:
Shadow Mountain Black Market, and the Mansion of Azure Clouds.
