Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1048: Ungrateful

Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: Ungrateful

Wyatt Barnes still remembered.

Back then, on his first trip to the Black Stone Empire, he had gone directly to Phoenix Perch City, just as Winnie Romero was at the City Lord’s Mansion’s gate, holding a martial competition to find a suitor.

The competition to find a suitor was organized by Taoi Romero for Winnie Romero, and it had only one purpose.

It seemed to be because of a certain "prophecy."

The purpose was to find the man destined for Winnie, who was said to help her break the curse of dying at the age of thirty due to her innate spiritual body.

At that time, Wyatt had found the idea to be utter nonsense.

Even though all the clues pointed directly at him.

But now, he had no choice but to believe in the "prophecy," because it had come true; indeed, it was he who had helped Winnie break the chains of fate associated with the innate spiritual body.

Winnie Romero, not yet thirty, had the power of her ’fire spirit body’ suppressed and then transformed into a part of her internal strength, rapidly enhancing her cultivation of the Origin Force.

"It was that ’prophecy’ that led Winnie to meet me... As for what happened after, everything seemed to fall into place," he reflected.

Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but sigh as he recalled the past.

Perhaps, the connection between him and Winnie had quietly begun the very first time he saw her.

At that time, the gears of fate had already tightly interlocked them together.

The last time he left Green Forest Royal Country for Crimson Heaven Kingdom, he had slowed his pace slightly to take care of Winnie.

This time, as he carried Winnie, his speed increased by more than a notch.

So, he quickly returned to the small city closest to Fill Bear’s mountainous hometown.

After arriving at the small city and returning to the inn, Wyatt found Fill Bear still in cultivation, apparently oblivious to the fact that he and Winnie had been away.

This time, Wyatt woke Fill Bear.

"Young Master."

Upon hearing Wyatt’s call, Fill Bear awakened from his cultivation immediately, opened his room door, and respectfully bowed to Wyatt.

"Fill Bear, we’re going to the Great Turdo Dynasty."

Wyatt said to Fill Bear.

Fill Bear didn’t ask any questions and followed Wyatt.

Of course, he left with Wyatt’s assistance.

After undergoing marrow washing, he had barely recovered his cultivation at the Peep Naught Realm and could fly, but his speed was still too slow.

At least, it seemed painfully slow compared to Wyatt.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Holding Winnie horizontally, Wyatt took Fill Bear with him towards the direction of the Capital City of the Great Turdo Dynasty, their speed as fast as lightning, vanishing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"Young Master, what’s with Miss Winnie?"

On the way, Fill Bear, seeing that Winnie held by Wyatt didn’t move at all, couldn’t resist asking out of curiosity.

"Winnie has encountered some trouble and might be unconscious for a while,"

Wyatt replied.

He knew in his heart that it was almost impossible for Winnie to wake up before her soul was repaired.

Fortunately, Winnie’s cultivation had reached a level where she could ’avoid food,’ which meant she could survive well without eating anything.

However, the immediate priority was to find either ’thousand-year ice’ or ’ten-thousand-year ice.’

Only by doing so could Winnie’s body be better preserved and not affected by some external factors, which might lead to adverse events.

Fill Bear nodded. Though he was still puzzled, he didn’t ask any further questions.

He was a smart person and knew what to ask and what not to.

After several days, Wyatt arrived at the Capital City of the Great Turdo Dynasty with Fill Bear. He headed straight to the Imperial Palace of the Great Turdo Dynasty, hovering in the air and slowly speaking out.

"Wyatt Barnes is here to visit!"

Wyatt’s voice boomed like thunder, rolling through the sky and spreading across the entire Imperial Palace of the Great Turdo Dynasty.

"Wyatt Barnes is here?"

Instantly, the whole palace boiled with excitement.

Wyatt Barnes was now a name known to everyone in the Great Turdo Dynasty.

He was the champion of the ’Dynasty Martial Competition’ held by the Great Turdo Dynasty and later achieved the ’first place’ honor at the ’Decennial Martial Meet’ hosted by external territorial forces.

For them,

Wyatt Barnes was the glory of the Great Turdo Dynasty!

At the ’Decennial Martial Meet,’ he had defeated young powerhouses from nine other dynasties, winning honor for the Great Turdo Dynasty.

"Wyatt Barnes?"

Of course, within the Imperial Palace, some people looked uneasy and troubled.

These people included the Great Turdo Dynasty’s Emperor and several Old Kings.

Their cultivation had broken through to the Transforming Void Realm, largely thanks to Wyatt’s assistance. It could be said that Wyatt had done them a great service.

However, recently, three groups of strong men had come calling, and they had been forced to ’betray’ Wyatt, informing the visitors of all they knew about him.

They felt guilty about this.

"Wyatt Barnes is still alive?"

Soon, the Emperor and the Old Kings of the Great Turdo Dynasty gathered together, their faces full of surprise, finding it hard to believe.

Any single person among the three groups of strong men who had come to the Great Turdo Dynasty to find Wyatt Barnes was powerful enough that even if several of them joined forces, they would not be a match.

The three groups of strong men came to the Great Turdo Dynasty seeking Wyatt Barnes with ill intent.

However, they still let Wyatt Barnes live?

"Has he come this time to seek justice?"

"It should be so."

"This matter, indeed, we are at fault... But how could he possibly survive under the hands of those three groups of powerful individuals?"

"Perhaps those three groups of powerful individuals didn’t really do anything to him."

"Impossible! Among those three groups of powerful individuals, many showed a bloodthirsty murderous intent in their eyes whenever Wyatt Barnes was mentioned... Logically speaking, they shouldn’t have let Wyatt Barnes off!"

...

The few of them discussed heatedly, and in the end, they had to admit that Wyatt Barnes had survived under the hands of those three groups of powerful individuals and had now arrived at the Capital City of the Great Turdo Dynasty, and even at the Imperial Palace.

"I alone am enough... The rest of you, protect His Majesty."

One of the elder lords, who was also the past master of Marshall Tyler, took a deep breath and said to the other elder lords of the Great Turdo Dynasty.

"Uncle Emperor!"

The Emperor of the Great Turdo Dynasty’s face changed.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty... Even if Wyatt Barnes is here to seek justice, it’s not a problem. His strength may not be a match for mine."

Old King said, smiling.

Speaking, he didn’t wait for the Emperor of the Great Turdo Dynasty to respond, and his body flew out, heading directly towards the source of the voice.

Wyatt stood in the air, holding Winnie Romero horizontally across his chest, his gaze sharp like an eagle, as if it could pierce through everything.

Before long, he saw a familiar figure soaring into the sky, arriving in front of him in an instant.

"Marshall Tyler’s master?"

Wyatt recognized the old man in front of him immediately; the man could be considered an acquaintance from before.

However, although there were some ties between the old man and Marshall Tyler, he had never helped Marshall Tyler against Wyatt, at least in Wyatt’s view.

Therefore, he held no malice towards the old man.

"Wyatt, when did you return from the ’Blade and Sword Sect’?"

The old man squeezed a smile on his face and asked in a friendly manner.

"I returned a while ago."

Wyatt got straight to the point, "Old King, I’ve come this time to request the assistance of the Imperial Family with a matter... This matter, for the Imperial Family, should not be difficult."

"You are a great hero of our Great Turdo Dynasty, as long as it’s within our Imperial Family’s capacity, we can help you... State your request," the old man declared his position.

At the same time, he inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Wyatt Barnes was not here to seek justice this time.

Even though he appeared very confident in front of the Emperor of the Great Turdo Dynasty just a moment ago, he still felt somewhat anxious deep inside; he was not entirely sure that he could defeat the current Wyatt Barnes.

In his eyes, Wyatt Barnes was simply a ’monster’!

From the ’Dynastic Martial Competition’ to the ’Decennial Martial Gathering’, he had witnessed Wyatt Barnes’ progress with his own eyes.

The last time he saw Wyatt Barnes was when Wyatt decided to join the ’Blade and Sword Sect’.

In his view, having joined the ’Blade and Sword Sect’, Wyatt’s strength must have greatly improved!

Even surpassing him was not impossible.

A monster cannot be judged by common standards.

Moreover, there were three separate groups of powerful individuals who had gone to find Wyatt Barnes not long ago, yet Wyatt was still alive and well; he vaguely felt that something was off about the whole situation.

Therefore, facing Wyatt, he didn’t dare to take him lightly and treated him with extreme caution.

"I’ve come for one thing only... but I wonder if the Imperial Family possesses ’Eternal Ice’?"

Wyatt looked at the old man and asked directly.

Eternal Ice!

Upon hearing Wyatt’s words, the old man’s pupils involuntarily contracted.

Eternal Ice is a type of ice that has accumulated over tens of thousands of years. Even if it’s burned by ordinary fire or low-grade alchemical or magical flames, it will not melt in the slightest.

A small piece of Eternal Ice can quickly calm one’s restless spirit, allowing a better entry into the cultivation state and making the practice twice as effective with half the effort.

The preciousness of Eternal Ice can be imagined.

He himself possessed a ’sitting mat’ made of Eternal Ice, which he would use when he found it difficult to calm his mind for cultivation.

"Wyatt, having joined the ’Blade and Sword Sect’, I wonder what level your strength has reached?"

The old man didn’t rush to answer Wyatt’s question, but instead threw out this inquiry.

Of course, his question was not impulsive.

He wanted to know the extent of Wyatt’s current strength to determine whether it was worth it for the Royal Country of the Great Turdo Dynasty to gift the ’Eternal Ice’.

Because even for the Imperial Family of the Great Turdo Dynasty, there wasn’t much ’Eternal Ice’ in stock.

"What, Old King, are you trying to see if I’m qualified to obtain the ’Eternal Ice’?"

Wyatt easily saw through the old man’s thoughts and narrowed his eyes to ask.

With Wyatt’s point brought to light, the old man grew even more embarrassed, yet he did not deny it.

"If I’m not mistaken... The Imperial Family of the Great Turdo Dynasty seems to have gained quite a bit from ’Grimm Wolf Fortress’ and the ’Blade and Sword Sect’ thanks to me, right?"

Wyatt spoke indifferently, "I think, the Eternal Ice should not be more precious than the benefits you’ve gained because of me, right?"

As Wyatt said this, the old man became more embarrassed but still kept silent.

"Since Old King wants to witness my current strength, then I shall indulge you!"

Wyatt’s eyes suddenly grew cold, and his entire figure took a step forward.
