Legend of Wyatt -
Chapter 1208: Forcibly Charging In
Chapter 1208: Chapter 1208: Forcibly Charging In
Whoosh!
Wyatt Barnes moved, transforming into a bolt of lightning as he breached the "Lost Stone Forest."
The Lost Stone Forest, for ordinary martial artists, was undoubtedly a forbidden area.
Those who entered the Lost Stone Forest, if not careful, would be lured by the "Illusionary Formation" to trigger the "Killing Formation," leading to their obliteration without a place for their bodies to rest.
Normally, only the people of the Lost Stone Forest could tread unimpeded within, unaffected by the "Illusionary Formation" and "Killing Formation."
However, now that Wyatt Barnes had entered, he also moved as if on level ground.
The Illusionary Formation, he simply ignored.
As for the Killing Formation, he avoided from afar.
Wyatt Barnes successfully intruded into the Lost Stone Forest and quickly alarmed many Martial Emperor disciples guarding the entrance.
Amidst their shock, these disciples appeared one after another.
What shocked them was that this purple-clad youth entered the Lost Stone Forest without being influenced by the "Illusionary Formation."
Moreover, wherever the purple-clad youth passed, it was always at a great distance from the "Killing Formation."
Once, it might be luck.
But twice, three times, and even four or five times, to still be the same, it could not be luck.
In an instant, the few Martial Emperor disciples responsible for this area realized something was amiss and quickly materialized, surrounding Wyatt Barnes in the middle.
"May I ask who Your Excellency is, and what brings you to our ’Lost Stone Forest’?"
Facing the purple-clad youth who had entered the Lost Stone Forest with ease, a group of Martial Emperor disciples did not dare act rashly, and one of them asked politely.
Wyatt Barnes gave the people before him a cursory glance, "Martial Emperor disciples?"
"Yes," responded several of them with a nod.
"Take me to Isaac Campbell."
Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes looked at one of the Martial Emperor disciples, his eyes flickering with a sharp light that caused the latter to feel a chill down to his bones and tremble from fear deep within.
"Your Excellency..."
Before this Martial Emperor disciple could speak, he was interrupted by Wyatt Barnes.
Wyatt Barnes’s figure shifted, disappearing before his eyes while a gust of wind rushed towards him.
When he came to his senses, a powerful force was transmitted from his shoulder, leaving his entire body powerless.
It was Wyatt Barnes, who had appeared before this Martial Emperor disciple like lightning, grasping his shoulder, and spoke coldly, "Lead the way!"
By now, this Martial Emperor disciple and the others also reacted.
The purple-clad youth before them was here for ’Isaac Campbell.’
Isaac Campbell was naturally no stranger to them; he was the ’Pride of the Heavens’ of their Lost Stone Forest. Not only a personal disciple of a Martial Emperor but also the most favored of the Kingston Stone Martial Emperor.
"What trouble has Senior Brother Campbell brought upon himself to attract such a fierce person?"
For a moment, several Martial Emperor disciples were alarmed.
Just now, the ease with which Wyatt Barnes entered the Lost Stone Forest already informed them this man was no ordinary individual.
Now, hearing that Wyatt Barnes had come to find their Lost Stone Forest’s personal disciple of the Martial Emperor, ’Isaac Campbell,’ and with hostile intent, they were even more aware that this man was not to be trifled with.
At the very least, they were not his match.
What a joke!
The very fact that this purple-clad youth dared to seek out their Lost Stone Forest’s personal disciple of the Martial Emperor, ’Isaac Campbell,’ signified a confidence in his own strength.
A being comparable to Isaac Campbell would only need a single finger to crush them!
The Martial Emperor disciple caught by Wyatt Barnes turned pale, fluctuating between shades of fear and dismay. Though terrified of death, he dared not truly lead the purple-clad youth before him to that Senior Brother Campbell.
Once he did so, he would meet the same fatal end.
And worse, it could implicate his family.
That was not what he wanted to see.
The rules of the Lost Stone Forest were strict, and admonishingly implicated one’s family, so even facing death, he dared not transgress the rules of the Lost Stone Forest.
"Aren’t you afraid of dying?"
Seeing no reaction from the Martial Emperor disciple in his grasp, Wyatt Barnes’s eyes gleamed fiercely, and a murderous aura swept out, overwhelming the disciple, who showed a face full of terror.
However, even then, he made no move.
"Your Excellency, please do not trouble him."
At that moment, another Martial Emperor disciple pleaded with Wyatt Barnes, "We of the Lost Stone Forest have rules, no one under the Martial Emperor’s command may betray another... Should anyone betray their peers, they will not only face certain death, but their family members will also be ensnared."
"So even if you kill him, or even kill all of us, it would be impossible for us to lead you to Senior Brother Campbell... If we were to do so, it would be equivalent to betraying Senior Brother Campbell, and in the end, not only would we face certain death, it would also involve our families."
As he reached the end of his discourse, the Martial Emperor disciple had a face full of bitterness.
"Your Excellency, I can use the ’Transmission Jade Slip’ to inform Senior Brother Campbell."
Another Martial Emperor disciple proposed swiftly.
"Tell him to return the one he took from my Heaven Fortin Sect... If anything happens to that person, I want his life as compensation!"
Realizing that the Martial Emperor disciples could not lead him to Isaac Campbell, Wyatt Barnes could only fallback on an alternative demand in a serious tone.
"Also, tell him... my name is ’Wyatt Barnes’!" Wyatt Barnes added another sentence.
"Yes, yes." Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, the Martial Emperor disciple did not dare to neglect and immediately threw out a communication jade slip, vanishing from Wyatt Barnes’s sight in the blink of an eye.
Communication jade slips inscribed by a Martial Emperor Realm Inscription Master had astonishing speed, far beyond his current capability.
After the communication jade slip was shot out, several Martial Emperor disciples saw that the purple-robed young man did not intend to vent his anger on them and each breathed a sigh of relief, still somewhat shaken.
Although they had not seen him take action so far, since he could enter the Lost Stone Forest with such ease, it was clear he was no ordinary person.
Moreover, the fact that he came looking for trouble with their highly respected ’Senior Brother Isaac Campbell’ made them realize that the person before them was not simple.
So, they were grateful they were still alive.
At that moment, Wyatt stood aside with a calm face, looking in the direction where the communication jade slip was sent, paying no more attention to the few Martial Emperor disciples before him.
Seeing this, the Martial Emperor disciples knew they had dodged a bullet.
They exchanged glances, each seeing ’narrow escape’ and ’lingering fear’ in the other’s eyes.
At the same time, having calmed their nerves, they began to communicate with each other using their Origin Force to project their voices.
"Based on what he just said... it seems Senior Brother Campbell took someone away from the Heaven Fortin Sect?"
One of them voiced his confusion.
"Could it be that woman Senior Brother Campbell brought back a while ago?"
Another made a guess.
"Now that you mention it, it’s indeed possible... I was wondering why that woman seemed indifferent towards Senior Brother Campbell when they returned. It turns out she was actually abducted by him."
"Senior Brother Campbell is really forceful. He used to be disinterested in women, but once he became interested, he just outright seized her and brought her back."
...
The Martial Emperor disciples couldn’t help but sigh to themselves.
Meanwhile, at a stone house carved out of a massive rock deep within the Lost Stone Forest, a tall young man in black suddenly appeared.
The black-robed young man caught a swiftly approaching beam of light with a single hand movement.
As he opened his hand, a jade slip appeared in his palm, catching his eye, "A communication jade slip?"
Then, the black-robed young man infused his Origin Force into the communication jade slip in his hand, and a voice timely transmitted into his ears:
"Senior Brother Campbell, someone has intruded at the southeast entrance of the Lost Stone Forest... He claims to be ’Wyatt Barnes’ and asks you to release the person you took from Heaven Fortin Sect."
"He also says... if there is any mishap with that person, he will make you pay with your life."
The voice stopped there.
"Wyatt Barnes? The one who killed Spring Sun?" The black-robed young man, who was none other than Isaac Campbell, the direct disciple of the Martial Emperor of the Lost Stone Forest, also had an idea of what was happening when he heard the message from the communication jade slip.
Wyatt Barnes, the Sect Leader of Heaven Fortin Sect, was also the beloved of the woman he adored.
Moreover, he had made a vow using the ’Ninety-Nine Thunder Tribulation’; as long as the woman he adored stayed in the Lost Stone Forest for ten years, he would not kill Wyatt Barnes.
"I vowed not to kill you, but I didn’t vow not to cripple you... I haven’t come looking for you, but you’ve come to me, which suits me just fine."
Isaac Campbell’s mouth curled into a cold smile without anyone knowing when, and his eyes were filled with a chilling luster.
Although he had never seen Wyatt Barnes, he had no good feelings towards him.
Far from it, he wished he could kill Wyatt Barnes!
Of course, none of this was because Wyatt Barnes had killed Spring Sun.
The life or death of Spring Sun was of no concern to him.
Even when he went to Heaven Fortin Sect because of Spring Sun’s death, it was not to avenge Spring Sun but to make a statement, to show that even when striking a dog, one must see who its owner is!
He had no affinity for Wyatt Barnes, and in fact, wished to be rid of him, primarily because of the woman he had brought back to the Lost Stone Forest.
She was the woman who moved his heart, the one he longed to claim as his own.
And Wyatt Barnes was the man in her heart.
Were it not for the vow he made using the ’Ninety-Nine Thunder Tribulation’ not to kill Wyatt Barnes, he would never let Wyatt Barnes live.
"I really want to see... when you are crippled and your limbs useless, will she still like you as before, and even acknowledge you as her man?"
Isaac Campbell murmured with a flicker of sinister smile on his lips.
Nobody was there to witness this moment, otherwise, seeing the smile that spread across Isaac Campbell’s face, one would surely feel a chill down their spine.
"Heaven has a path you did not take, Hell has no gate yet you break in... Wyatt Barnes, you’ve come to me, so you cannot blame me!"
Isaac Campbell stirred inside, and the next moment, his entire being vanished from the spot.
Of course, he didn’t literally disappear.
It was just that his speed reached such a level that it seemed as though he disappeared into thin air.
Isaac Campbell’s destination was toward the southeast direction of the Lost Stone Forest.
Wyatt Barnes was there.
"He’s coming!" Not long after, Wyatt Barnes, who was situated near the southeast entrance to the Lost Stone Forest and had been staring ahead, suddenly had his eyes flash brightly.
