Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1165: Alfonso Rowan is Dead!

Chapter 1165: Chapter 1165: Alfonso Rowan is Dead!

Under the guidance of the elder from Heaven Fortin Sect, it didn’t take long for Wyatt Barnes to spot a figure standing in the distance.

The figure stood there like a spear, exuding an aura of "loneliness."

A familiar face, not seen for many years, had aged considerably.

The frivolity of the past was gone, replaced by reserve and steadiness, as if he had become a different person.

"You, how did you end up here?"

Wyatt hadn’t yet arrived but had already greeted the familiar figure in the distance, his face breaking into a bright and gentle smile.

The figure before him was none other than Handmi Holland!

Back when they were still in the Green Forest Royal Country, Young Master Sword ’Handmi Holland’ had suited his temperament well, and they had shared quite a friendship.

After many years, Wyatt was quite happy to see him again.

Of course, along with the happiness, he was inevitably shocked that Handmi Holland had appeared here.

This place was the "inland" of the Cloud Skies Continent.

"If you can be here, why can’t I?"

A fierce aura broke through the air, and in a blink of an eye, Handmi Holland vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of Wyatt, "Wyatt Barnes, it’s been a long time."

"It has been a long time..." But, I never imagined, the guy who couldn’t even secure a spot in the ’Dynasty Martial Competition’ back then would appear in the ’inland,’ likely possessing astonishing cultivation now."

Wyatt slowly began, his face full of amazement by the end.

"It was just some fortunate encounters... I thought I had left you, this ’freak,’ behind and felt proud of it several times. Yet, you’re still the same as before, stronger than me."

Handmi Holland sized up Wyatt and couldn’t help sighing toward the end.

"It seems your encounters were no small matter... already at ’Level Three of the Martial Emperor Realm.’"

Wyatt gave Handmi Holland a deep look and said.

Just now, his mental power had stretched out and immediately detected Handmi Holland’s current cultivation, Level Three of the Martial Emperor Realm.

This left him quite shocked.

"Indeed, you are Wyatt Barnes, just one glance and you discerned my cultivation."

Handmi Holland exclaimed, seemingly not overly surprised, "But what of Level Three of the Martial Emperor Realm? You’re still better than me. Now, you’re not only nearly every woman’s ’dream lover’ around here, but also the Sect Leader of the prestigious Heaven Fortin Sect!"

"I heard you killed the former Peak Master ’Hunter Sun’ of Yin and Yang Sect... As I know, that Hunter Sun was considered a top figure even among warriors at ’Level Eight of the Martial Emperor Realm.’"

Toward the end, Handmi Holland’s gaze towards Wyatt grew even more complex.

Back in the days of the Green Forest Royal Country, Wyatt had been an absolute monster, a freak!

Since parting in the Empire Stone, he had faced many hardships, encountered fortunes that propelled him upward, fought his way through, and even crossed the Weak Water River to reach the central region of the Cloud Skies Continent, the ’inland.’

He had thought that by this time, he had far surpassed Wyatt.

Yet a piece of news received had completely shocked him.

Heaven Fortin Sect!

Wyatt Barnes!

At first, he thought the Sect Leader ’Wyatt Barnes’ of Heaven Fortin Sect was just another strong person with the same name as the freak he knew in Green Forest Royal Country.

But his intuition told him that this Wyatt Barnes was likely the same freak he knew.

So, he had come to resolve the doubts in his heart.

It turned out his intuition was right.

The Sect Leader of Heaven Fortin Sect, ’Wyatt Barnes,’ was indeed the friend he had made back in Green Forest Royal Country.

"Your news network is quite impressive."

Wyatt laughed.

Meeting an old friend abroad, his mood was good.

"Do you need to be well-informed for this?"

Handmi Holland rolled his eyes at Wyatt, "Now you are a celebrity around here... I heard that many unmarried young women plan to join your Heaven Fortin Sect."

"As for their purpose, I’m sure you can guess without my saying... The old drunkard’s intent isn’t in the wine."

Near the end, Handmi Holland’s face broke into a sly smile.

"By the way, you and Alfonso Rowan left together... Did you part ways later?"

Wyatt completely ignored Handmi Holland’s words and changed the subject.

But this question from Wyatt shocked Handmi Holland, making his expression grow even worse.

"What’s wrong?"

Wyatt’s expression became serious, and a ominous premonition rose in his heart.

"Alfonso Rowan is dead!"

Finally, Handmi Holland spoke, his tone suppressed and somber.

Dead!

Wyatt’s pupils shrank, his face paled, "What happened? How did he die?"

Alfonso Rowan, formerly the foremost of the five great young masters of Green Forest Royal Country and a good friend of his who had also helped him a lot, was the grandson of the President of the Artifact Refiners Guild of the Green Forest Royal Country.

He couldn’t imagine.

If that old man learned of Alfonso Rowan’s death, the pain he would feel.

"It’s all my fault."

At no particular moment, tears streamed down Young Master Holland’s face, his body trembling, "Back then, Alfonso Rowan and I went on an adventure together, heading north... We passed through the Great Turdo Dynasty and the Great Mini Dynasty, finally reaching the ’Northern Desert.’"

"After leaving the Northern Desert, we continued on our journey... Later, by a stroke of luck, we came across a secret stash left by a Martial Emperor and managed to gain entry."

"Inside, we obtained enormous fortunes such as spiritual fruits, realm fragments, and arcane fragments; we acquired quite a few... We even encountered the ’Tongxuan Formation’ no less than ten times."

"However, just as we were about to leave, we accidentally triggered the last ’Inscription Formation’ left by the Martial Emperor, a ’Killing Formation’!"

"Alfonso Rowan discovered the ’Killing Formation’ first, and promptly pushed me out of its range, saving me from disaster... But in doing so, he missed his chance to escape and was blasted to death by the ’Killing Formation’!"

At this point, Young Master Holland’s expression turned somewhat fierce, "If he hadn’t saved me, he could have lived... He could have lived!"

"Alfonso Rowan."

Wyatt Barnes took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

According to what ’Young Master Sword’ Holland had described, if Alfonso Rowan had lived, his accomplishments now wouldn’t be inferior to his.

"You shouldn’t grieve too much... Since Alfonso Rowan saved you, you should live well on his behalf."

Wyatt looked at the pained expression on Young Master Holland’s face and spoke.

"I know... So, I will live well and continue to do what he wanted to do but couldn’t. This way, I’m sure his spirit in heaven will be comforted."

Young Master Holland nodded, his agitated emotions somewhat calmed.

"What are your current plans?"

Wyatt asked.

"I don’t know... I’ve only just arrived in the central lands."

Young Master Holland shook his head.

"Why not stay at my Heaven Fortin Sect? I’ll appoint you as an ’Elder’."

Wyatt said with a smile.

"Heaven Fortin Sect Elder?"

Young Master Holland’s eyes suddenly brightened, "That sounds interesting... Alright! Then I’ll stay at your Heaven Fortin Sect for now."

"You can stay at Heaven Fortin Sect, but I must set three rules with you."

Wyatt looked at Young Master Holland with caution.

He remembered.

When Young Master Holland was in the Green Forest Royal Country, he used to frequent places of ill repute, and was quite the ladies’ man.

And half of the disciples of the Heaven Fortin Sect were female.

He didn’t want Young Master Holland to do anything that might disgrace the sect.

"How will you set these three rules?"

Young Master Holland was taken aback for a moment, not quite catching on.

Then, as Wyatt spoke, a bitter smile spread across his face, and he glanced at Wyatt resentfully, "Even if I wanted women, I wouldn’t mess around in the Heaven Fortin Sect... Even if I didn’t care about my own reputation, I would still think of yours."

"It’s good that you think this way."

Wyatt nodded satisfactorily.

"Come on, let me introduce you to a few people."

After calling out to Young Master Holland, Wyatt took him to meet Winnie Romero, Fill Bear, and Kamari Gold.

It’s worth mentioning that upon meeting Winnie Romero, Young Master Holland stared at her for several breaths, entranced by her unparalleled beauty and stunning looks.

Only when he noticed that Winnie’s gaze remained on Wyatt did he shift his own.

"So she is Wyatt’s woman."

Young Master Holland’s heart was filled with envy.

"I will take him to meet Pearl Rowan."

Wyatt notified Winnie and the others, then left with Young Master Holland to find Pearl Rowan.

Pearl Rowan, though only one of the three Vice Sect Leaders of Heaven Fortin Sect, was undoubtedly the most trusted by Wyatt, and usually managed all the major and minor affairs of the sect.

She was the only Vice Sect Leader who could represent ’Wyatt.’

After leaving Young Master Holland with Pearl Rowan, Wyatt returned to the company of Winnie and the others. He looked at Fill Bear and Kamari Gold first, "You two, release a message stating that Heaven Fortin Sect is broadly recruiting ’Grade One Artifact Refiners’ and ’Grade One Alchemists’."

"Yes, Young Master."

"Yes, Master."

Fill Bear and Kamari Gold departed upon the command.

"If that’s all, I’m afraid no ’Grade One Artifact Refiners’ or ’Grade One Alchemists’ will be willing to come."

Once Fill Bear and Kamari Gold had left, the frost on Winnie’s face melted slightly as she softly spoke to Wyatt.

"I know... which is why we now have something more important to do."

Wyatt said with a smile.

"Something more important?"

Winnie looked puzzled, yet delighted, simply because of Wyatt’s last sentence.

More important things, that she would do with him.

This was enough to indicate her significant place in Wyatt’s heart.

"You’ll know very soon."

Wyatt smiled mysteriously and then departed from Heaven Fortin Peak and the Heaven Fortin Sect with Winnie.

Now, he was about to take Winnie to handle that more important matter.
