Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1197: Idiot!

Chapter 1197: Chapter 1197: Idiot!

Yet, as Gabriel Cloud’s next words were uttered, the expressions of Pearl Rowan and her two companions completely changed.

"Spring Sun, has another identity... He is a ’Martial Emperor’s disciple’ in the Lost Stone Forest!"

Those were Gabriel Cloud’s exact words.

A disciple of the Martial Emperor!

As soon as Gabriel Cloud spoke, not only did Pearl Rowan and her two companions faces’ drastically change, but even Three Graham’s and Kamari Gold’s countenances shifted.

As for Winnie Romero, Handmi Holland, and Fill Bear, having little concept of what ’a disciple of the Martial Emperor’ meant, they only looked puzzled, without showing overly exaggerated reactions.

"Elder Cloud’s recruited help is a disciple of the Martial Emperor?"

"Even a disciple lost in the Stone Forest! I’ve heard of the Lost Stone Forest before, it’s a Martial Emperor’s cultivation ground, the Martial Emperor there is revered as ’Kingston Stone Martial Emperor.’"

"Elder Cloud’s helper, is he a disciple of Kingston Stone Martial Emperor?"

...

Simultaneously, numerous elders and disciples of Heaven Fortin Sect showed a change of color.

None of them had imagined that Gabriel Cloud’s summoned aid would actually be a disciple of the Martial Emperor.

A disciple of the Martial Emperor.

Even if not a direct disciple of the Martial Emperor, the strength of such a being would be extremely formidable; weak martial artists could never become disciples of a Martial Emperor, at most they could become a disciple.

Direct disciples of the Martial Emperor, most of them are at the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm, one foot into the ’Emperor Realm.’

While merely being disciples of the Martial Emperor, their strength was incomparable to that of any common nine-layers strong warrior in the Martial Emperor Realm.

It was said that any random disciple of the Martial Emperor could match the top mighty forces of the upper echelons in Cloud Skies Continent, even a leading powerhouse of those top factions.

"A disciple of the Martial Emperor... Hunter Sun’s brother is actually a disciple of the Martial Emperor!"

Pearl Rowan looked terribly awkward.

"I always felt like I’ve heard that the background of Peak Master Hunter Sun was not so simple... But I never expected his brother to actually be a disciple of the Martial Emperor."

The Sackman brothers exchanged glances and could see mutual shock in each other’s eyes.

A disciple of the Martial Emperor.

A being they had to look up to, who could crush them with just a finger.

For a moment, their hearts filled with dread.

If before they still held confidence in their Sect Leader of Heaven Fortin Sect, ’Wyatt Barnes,’ their faith now wavered.

"A disciple of the Martial Emperor... the humble Peak Master of Yin and Yang Sect, actually the younger brother of a Martial Emperor’s disciple."

Three Graham also had a somewhat unsightly look on his face.

He had long heard about Wyatt Barnes killing the original Peak Master of Yin and Yang Sect to become its Sect Leader and even renaming Yin and Yang Sect to ’Heaven Fortin Sect’ and becoming the Sect Leader of Heaven Fortin Sect.

But he had never imagined that the original Peak Master of Sun Peak would have such an elder brother.

A disciple of the Martial Emperor!

That was no joke.

According to what he knew, to become a disciple of the Martial Emperor, one either had to be an ’Odd Species’ on Cloud Skies Continent with an extraordinary gift and Divine Ability or a powerful nine-layers strong warrior in the Martial Emperor Realm.

The middle-aged man before them was clearly the latter.

And the threshold for the latter was extremely high.

It was said that only those nine-layers strong warriors in the Martial Emperor Realm, at their full strength, possessing strength that surpassed five ancient Horned Dragons, were qualified to become disciples of the Martial Emperor.

Five ancient Horned Dragons’ strength was the minimum threshold.

At this time, Winnie Romero, Handmi Holland, and Fill Bear learned of the meaning behind the words ’disciple of the Martial Emperor’ from the discussions of the nearby group of Heaven Fortin Sect elders and disciples.

For a moment, the expressions on the faces of Handmi Holland and Fill Bear became somewhat awkward.

"Damn! A disciple of the Martial Emperor is that strong?"

Handmi Holland cursed inwardly.

Although Winnie managed to maintain a calm face, deep within her beautiful autumn eyes, a hint of worry was clearly mixed.

She was evidently concerned for Wyatt Barnes.

"Pearl Rowan, Prince Sackman, Anand Sackman... I’m giving you three a chance. Now, come to my side, and after Spring Sun deals with Wyatt Barnes, you’ll still be part of my Yin and Yang Sect."

At that point, Gabriel Cloud looked towards Pearl Rowan and her party and spoke with a calm pace, "If you’re unwilling to come over, after Spring Sun eliminates Wyatt Barnes, I won’t spare your lives."

Between the lines, Gabriel Cloud clearly intended to force Pearl Rowan and her companions to make a choice.

This choice was related to their fortunes and lives.

For a while, the three’s complexions turned alternatively green and white as if in the midst of a storm.

"I’ll give you ten breaths of time... After ten breaths, whoever among you three hasn’t come over will be considered an enemy of Gabriel Cloud!"

Gabriel Cloud further pressed Pearl Rowan and her companions to make their choice.

Upon Gabriel Cloud’s words, aside from Spring Sun, everyone present turned their gaze to the three, curious about what decision they would make.

Whether to choose to stand on the opposite side of Heaven Fortin Sect, by Gabriel Cloud’s side.

Or to remain on Heaven Fortin Sect’s side, continuing the opposition to Gabriel Cloud.

Both choices carried risks.

If they chose the former and if the Sect Leader of Heaven Fortin Sect, ’Wyatt Barnes,’ were to take out the disciple of the Martial Emperor, ’Spring Sun,’ the outcome would be obvious, and no one would spare those who had betrayed them.

If they chose the latter, once the Martial Emperor’s disciple "Spring Sun" took out the Heaven Fortin Sect’s Sect Leader "Wyatt Barnes," they would most certainly not survive either.

Gabriel Cloud would send them on their way without delay.

As it stands, the current choice is a gambit.

It’s a bet on whether Wyatt Barnes is stronger than Spring Sun, or vice versa.

Wyatt Barnes’s strength was no secret to most present in the Heaven Fortin Sect.

Three months ago, Wyatt Barnes had fought against the leaders of the four top-tier forces, showcasing a tremendous power equivalent to that of four ancient Azure Dragons, plus the strength of nine thousand ancient Horned Dragons.

However, as a disciple of the Martial Emperor, even if Spring Sun was not a direct disciple, he must possess the strength above that of five ancient Azure Dragons.

"Gabriel Cloud, if I side with you, I’m effectively choosing Hunter Sun’s side... Therefore, I choose to share the fate of the Heaven Fortin Sect!"

Pearl Rowan was the first to make her stance clear.

Although Hunter Sun had died, Gabriel Cloud had returned today with Hunter Sun’s own elder brother "Spring Sun." To stand with Gabriel Cloud was tantamount to siding with Hunter Sun.

Deep-seated hatred for Hunter Sun compelled her to make her decision immediately.

Once Pearl Rowan announced her decision, many of the Heaven Fortin Sect’s elders and disciples’ eyes lit up, silently praising her as a ’heroine among women’ and ’valorous female warrior.’

"Hmph! If you wish to die, then I won’t stop you."

Upon hearing Pearl Rowan’s words, Gabriel Cloud responded with a disdainful snort.

Following that, he turned his stern gaze to the Sackman brothers, whose faces continued to twist dramatically, and said in a deep voice, "Prince Sackman, Anand Sackman... think carefully now! You have five breaths’ time left."

Five breaths!

At Gabriel Cloud’s words, the Sackman brothers’ faces changed again.

For a moment, the eyes of all were fixed on the two brothers, making them the center of attention.

"What do you think the two Vice Sect Leaders will decide?"

"I don’t know."

"It depends on whether they have more confidence in the Sect Leader or in that Martial Emperor’s disciple."

...

Many of the Heaven Fortin Sect’s elders and disciples whispered among themselves.

They were genuinely eager to see what choice the Sackman brothers would make.

"Three breaths left."

After two breaths had passed, Gabriel Cloud urged them again.

The expressions on the Sackman brothers’ faces grew even more troubled.

Soon, another two breaths elapsed, and Gabriel Cloud spoke in a grave tone, "You now have one final breath!"

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Almost immediately after Gabriel Cloud’s words fell, the Sackman brothers finally made their move, swiftly flying out and landing behind Gabriel Cloud within moments.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Seeing the Sackman brothers choose his side, Gabriel Cloud burst into hearty laughter and looked towards them, saying, "Prince Sackman, Anand Sackman... you will soon realize just how correct your choice is."

Then, he turned to Pearl Rowan and sneered, "Pearl Rowan, you’ll soon see just how foolish your choice was!"

Pearl Rowan ignored Gabriel Cloud’s taunts and looked directly at the Sackman brothers, speaking solemnly, "Prince Sackman, Anand Sackman... Can you justify your decision to the Sect Leader?"

"If I’m not mistaken... both of you have spirit weapons and Pill Medicine personally refined for you by the Sect Leader, right?"

Both Prince Sackman and Anand Sackman possessed a Grade One spirit weapon refined by Wyatt Barnes, which could amplify their strength by ’ninety percent.’

They had also each obtained two bottles of ’ninety-one percent’ pure Grade One Return-Life Pills from Wyatt Barnes.

At Pearl Rowan’s words, the faces of the Sackman brothers turned unsightly, but neither spoke, knowing they were in the wrong.

"I truly pity Wyatt Barnes for having you two as Vice Sect Leaders of the Heaven Fortin Sect," Young Master Holland said with contempt, casting a disdainful glance at the Sackman brothers.

Winnie Romero’s eyes began to burn with a flicker of murderous intent, targeting the Sackman brothers— their choice had also angered her.

"Which one is Wyatt Barnes?"

Spring Sun, who had been watching the drama unfold with amusement, finally spoke up, seeking the Sect Leader of the Heaven Fortin Sect, "Wyatt Barnes."

"Great Spring Sun, Wyatt Barnes has not yet appeared," Gabriel Cloud said with deference, standing behind him.

"But those three are close to Wyatt Barnes... If you kill them, Great Spring Sun, I’m sure Wyatt Barnes will not be able to restrain himself from coming out," Gabriel Cloud added quickly, a sinister smile on his face as his gaze landed on Winnie Romero, Fill Bear, and Kamari Gold.

Immediately, Spring Sun’s gaze shifted onto the trio of Winnie Romero.

Fill Bear and Kamari Gold felt the weight of his gaze and their expressions darkened significantly.

Yet, without coordination, they lunged forward, positioning themselves protectively before Winnie Romero, like two formidable guardians shielding her.

"You are indeed loyal... It seems she must be that Wyatt Barnes’s woman," Spring Sun sneered, "In that case, I’ll start by mercilessly destroying this flower. If I kill this woman, that cowardly Wyatt Barnes will have no choice but to come out!"

His words bore no sympathy for Winnie Romero’s peerless beauty.

"Idiot!"

But just as Spring Sun was about to strike Winnie Romero, an indifferent voice, as if coming from every direction, echoed through heaven and earth.
