Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1004: Change in Mentality

Chapter 1004: Chapter 1004: Change in Mentality

"Is it you?"

In an instant, a cold light shot from Wyatt Barnes’s eyes, ferocious and eager for a target.

"Yes, it’s me."

The disciple from Flame Peak, pushed to the brink of terror, seemed to adopt the mindset that ’a dead pig fears not boiling water,’ and, gritting his teeth, he stared defiantly at Wyatt Barnes and said bravely.

"I don’t seem to know you, do I? Why would you want to harm me?"

Hearing the disciple from Flame Peak admit it, Wyatt Barnes’s face darkened, his eyes narrowing, and a glint of cold light flashed briefly.

"I owe Brother Tatum Cruz a life!"

The disciple from Flame Peak said solemnly.

"Tatum Cruz?"

Wyatt Barnes was first stunned, then suddenly realized, understanding the situation; it turned out that the disciple from Flame Peak was seeking revenge for Tatum Cruz, who he had killed.

But, Tatum Cruz saving someone?

This, he found somewhat incredible.

"I truly did not expect that Tatum Cruz could make someone owe him a life!"

Before Wyatt Barnes could say anything, Brady Yellow couldn’t help but jeer.

Tatum Cruz, a direct disciple of the Peak Master of Flame Peak and also a former ’traitor’ of Niklaus Woodson.

To rise above others, Tatum Cruz not only betrayed Niklaus Woodson, who had nurtured his talents, but also betrayed his mentor and life-saver, making him infamous within the Five Elements Sect with no good reputation to speak of.

Now, to hear that someone like Tatum Cruz had saved someone, regardless of who it was, felt unexpected.

However, neither Wyatt Barnes nor Brady Yellow knew.

Originally, the reason Tatum Cruz had saved the life of this disciple from Flame Peak was more for his own benefit than simply to save the disciple.

As Wyatt Barnes and Brady Yellow understood Tatum Cruz, he was a cold-blooded animal, unlikely to become suddenly compassionate or kind-hearted.

Everything he did was for himself.

Selfishness was his synonym.

"If that’s the case... you should give his life back to him!"

Wyatt Barnes spoke indifferently, then swiftly raised his hand, conjuring a sword beam that shot out with such speed that not even Brady Yellow could catch a glimpse of its movement.

Let alone that disciple from Flame Peak.

Swish!

A soft sound rang out, and a jet of blood spurted from the throat of the disciple from Flame Peak, scattering in the air like a blooming red rose, dazzling and eye-catching.

Following that, the body of the disciple from Flame Peak fell, crashing into a mess of flesh.

Wyatt Barnes acted decisively and without mercy.

"So fast!"

Brady Yellow’s pupils contracted, the events unfolding in a blink of an eye, leaving him no time to react.

All he saw was Wyatt Barnes raising his hand.

The next moment, the disciple from Flame Peak was dead.

How Wyatt Barnes had struck remained unclear to him from start to end. "It seems, Wyatt had some ’extraordinary encounters’... otherwise, his strength couldn’t have improved so much!"

Thinking this, Brady Yellow looked at Wyatt Barnes enviously.

Killing the disciple from Flame Peak was like an insignificant matter to Wyatt Barnes.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he curiously turned to Brady Yellow. "Brady, how did you discover this?"

"Hehe."

Brady Yellow knew what Wyatt Barnes was asking about, and after a chuckle, he continued, "I encountered him there... just happened to hear him spreading rumors that you had obtained ’Emperor Realm Artifice Fragments’ and wanted to harm you."

"Then, I caught him, and after some intimidation, he finally confessed the whole matter of harming you."

Brady Yellow said all in one breath.

Wyatt Barnes then realized and looked gratefully at Brady Yellow. "Anyway, thanks for that... otherwise, I’d still be in the dark about who the person lurking in the shadows trying to harm me was."

Although, the plot of the person who had spread rumors earlier outside the ’Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure’ and wanted to harm him had not succeeded,

but that matter undoubtedly remained a thorn in his side!

He was eager to know who was secretly trying to harm him; not exposing that person made him feel restless every time he thought about it.

Having someone lurking in the shadows trying to harm him and still living freely in this world was undoubtedly a significant hidden threat to him.

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all! Besides, you had previously given me a ’Grade One Spiritual Weapon’ and helped me inside... consider this my repayment of your kindness."

Brady Yellow waved his hand offhand and spoke heartily.

Wyatt Barnes nodded, not dwelling on the subject any longer, but curiously asked, "Brady, how long ago did you come out?"

"About half an hour."

After pondering for a moment, Brady Yellow finally responded.

Whoosh!

While Wyatt Barnes and Brady Yellow were talking, another figure flew out from inside the palace.

"It’s a disciple from a ’Second-Rate Power’! Wyatt, should we eliminate him? To prevent him from spreading rumors after he leaves through the ’No. 1 Entry’."

Brady Yellow stared at the distant figure, his eyes flashing ominously.

"No need."

Under the terrified gaze of the disciple from Impermanence Sect, who had heard Brady Yellow’s words, Wyatt Barnes shook his head.

When he was brought out by the ’illusion formation,’ he had already realized.

Camden Taylor had likely already left the Wind Loft Hall, even left the true ’Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure.’

It wouldn’t be long before he could leave through the ’No. 1 Entry’ and tell Emerging Cloud Sect about his killing of the Leigh brothers,

Not only that, Camden Taylor would also inform North Nether Sect about his killing of Qadir Adams,

Moreover, Camden Taylor would definitely report to Impermanence Sect that he had an ’Emperor Realm Artifice Fragment’ and possibly the three ’Artifice Fragments’ from the body of the Wind Loft Martial Emperor."

Three major "second-rate powers" of the Northern Desert had simultaneously set their sights on him.

Just thinking about it made Wyatt Barnes shiver not from the cold.

To his current self, these three second-rate powers were undoubtedly behemoths.

Seeing that Wyatt had no intention of making a move against him, a disciple from Impermanence Sect breathed a sigh of relief, gratefully glanced at Wyatt, and then swiftly flew away.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

Subsequently, one after another, people began to leave.

Apart from a few disciples of the second-rate powers, the survivors from the third-rate powers also left the Hurricane Hall one by one.

Not long after, a familiar figure appeared in front of Wyatt Barnes.

"Sorrow!"

Seeing the young monk before him, a smile crept upon Wyatt Barnes’ lips as he greeted him proactively.

"Wyatt Barnes."

Seeing Wyatt, Sorrow felt a bit embarrassed.

In the past, when he was at Grimm Wolf Fortress, the person who challenged him had now unknowingly grown to possess a strength far surpassing his own.

Now facing Wyatt, he completely lost his temper!

"I’ll take my leave first."

Perhaps feeling particularly suppressed in Wyatt’s presence, Sorrow greeted Wyatt before quickly departing.

As for the disciples of Cloud Sky Temple who might have survived inside the Hurricane Hall, he entirely disregarded them.

"Haha... Wyatt, that little bald donkey is quite afraid of you," Brady Yellow couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Back then, Sorrow was confident and full of spirit.

But now, facing Wyatt, he could only flee in haste!

Compared to Brady Yellow’s unrestrained laughter, Wyatt did not show much emotional change.

With his strength greatly improved, his mindset had undergone a drastic transformation, and he no longer considered ’Sorrow’, a young disciple of Cloud Sky Temple, as his opponent.

With his current strength, there were only a few in Cloud Sky Temple worthy of being his opponents.

Not long after Sorrow left, Flame Graham also appeared.

Upon coming out, Flame Graham immediately saw Wyatt Barnes and greeted him before departing.

"Flame Graham."

Watching Flame Graham’s departing figure, Wyatt’s eyes narrowed until Flame Graham’s figure disappeared from his sight, then he came back to his senses.

Flame Graham, like him, came from the Great Turdo Dynasty, and more precisely, from the same ’Royal Country’.

When facing Flame Graham, he felt a sense of kinship.

Perhaps, because Flame Graham was his ’fellow countryman.’

Both hailing from the Great Turdo Dynasty, and both becoming the foremost among the younger generation of the Third-Rate Power in the Northern Desert, was already a cause for astonishment.

Moreover, he and Flame Graham were not just from the Great Turdo Dynasty but also from the Green Forest Royal Country under the command of the Great Turdo Dynasty.

Figures swept out of Hurricane Hall, one by one, all departing.

"Brother Graham!"

Not long after, a figure soared out from the Hurricane Hall, catching Wyatt Barnes’ eye; it was ’Brian Graham.’

Brian Graham, seeing Wyatt Barnes and Brady Yellow, his eyes brightened.

It was half an hour since Brian Graham had come out.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a very familiar fiery-red figure flew out of the Hurricane Hall and landed beside him, like a sprite born from fire.

"Brother Barnes."

The soft and melodious voice reached Wyatt’s ears.

At the same time, the sprite-like figure stood next to Wyatt Barnes, her graceful, seductive body filled with allure, and her stunningly beautiful face seemed as if it could bewitch all living beings.

"Winnie."

Looking at the woman before him, Wyatt Barnes’ face showed a gentle smile, his eyes filled with fondness.

"Where is Walter Simmons? Why hasn’t he come out yet?"

Seeing Winnie Romero emerge, Brady Yellow couldn’t help but frown.

"Let’s wait a bit longer,"

Wyatt Barnes said.

However, after waiting a while, no one else came out of the Hurricane Hall, and the four of them still hadn’t seen Walter Simmons.

"I hope nothing has happened to Walter Simmons,"

Brady Yellow murmured, his expression slightly sinking.

"Don’t jinx it! Perhaps Walter came out before you... and he might have left on his own since he wasn’t sure whether we had come out,"

Wyatt Barnes scolded, stating his speculation.

Of course, even though he said this, he was still somewhat unsure.

"Let’s head out as well,"

Brian Graham suggested.

"Mm."

None of the three had any objections.

Subsequently, the four of them set out to leave the ’central area’ of the Martial Emperor’s secret treasure.

As soon as they left the ’central area’, Wyatt Barnes and his companions parted ways.

They needed to exit through the same ’entrance’ through which they had entered.
