Chapter 1366: Chapter 1366: The Disgusting ’Hidden Dragon Camp

However, the vehicle taken out by Damien Lynch was even more luxurious.

"Get on board."

After calling out to Wyatt Barnes and another person, Damien Lynch got on the vehicle first.

Jemma Clifford seemed not surprised at all and followed onto the vehicle.

Wyatt Barnes was the last to get on.

After entering the carriage, Wyatt Barnes found that it was like two horse carriages combined together... with the horses conspicuously absent.

Just as Wyatt was puzzling over how the vehicle would move, Damien Lynch’s voice came just in time:

"Sit tight."

No sooner had Damien Lynch finished speaking than the entire vehicle started moving.

Wyatt Barnes could see deep gleams flashing from Damien Lynch’s hand, carelessly placed on a wooden table inside the carriage, apparently controlling the vehicle with True Energy.

"Is this the skill of someone who has fully mastered the Transcending Mortal Realm? To command True Energy to such an extent!"

Witnessing this scene, Wyatt Barnes inwardly exclaimed with admiration.

Along the way, through the window, Wyatt Barnes could see the endless stream of traffic.

Bored, Wyatt Barnes used the ’Heavenly Eye’ to randomly look outside.

Apart from the people in other vehicles, he did not miss anyone walking on the street.

He quickly noticed.

The people in the city were mostly at the ’Mortal Realm’, with those in the Transcending Mortal Realm being relatively fewer...

The strongest among them was merely at the mid-stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm.

Moreover, the architecture within Hill Mountain City, as well as the size of the markets, could not be compared to those of the cities in the Cloud Skies Continent, which widened Wyatt Barnes’s horizons and made him inwardly sigh that the trip had not been in vain.

The vehicle that Wyatt Barnes was sitting in kept advancing, and whenever it reached a crowded place, passersby would make way, looking at their vehicle with respect and awe.

It was as if they knew that the people inside the vehicle were not ordinary.

After entering the depths of Hill Mountain City, the luxury four-wheeled vehicle controlled by Damien Lynch finally stopped steadily in front of a spacious and luxurious mansion.

"Could this be the City Lord’s Mansion of Hill Mountain City?"

Wyatt Barnes speculated internally.

Just the gate of the mansion alone was wide enough to allow several vehicles like the one he was in to enter side by side, extremely spacious.

What surprised Wyatt Barnes even more was.

The guards in armor standing in front of this mansion, as seen through his ’Heavenly Eye’, were all at the mid-stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm.

"Beings at the mid-stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm... here at the entrance of this mansion, they are merely guards. This city must undoubtedly be the City Lord’s Mansion of Hill Mountain City."

Wyatt Barnes fully confirmed this.

Even with his extensive experience in the Cloud Skies Continent, coming here made him feel like a ’country bumpkin’.

Any being at the mid-stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm could sweep across the entire Cloud Skies Continent, even the Four Great Oversea Holy Islands... and yet, such beings here were only gatekeepers.

"My current level of cultivation isn’t even comparable to a gatekeeper."

Wyatt Barnes inwardly chuckled bitterly to himself.

"This is the City Lord’s Mansion of our Hill Mountain City... The City Lord’s Mansion is the place of highest authority throughout the entire Hill Mountain City."

Inside the carriage, Damien Lynch looked at Wyatt Barnes and another person, reminding them, "After we go in later, I will hand you over to the ’Training Ground for Talents’, which is where the Main Mansion cultivates its geniuses."

Training Ground for Talents?

Upon hearing this, Wyatt Barnes and Jemma Clifford’s eyes simultaneously lit up.

Soon after, Damien Lynch continued to control the four-wheeled vehicle, moving forward into the City Lord’s Mansion...

As they passed the main gate, the guards bowed and saluted, clearly recognizing Damien Lynch’s vehicle.

After entering the City Lord’s Mansion, Wyatt Barnes realized how enormous and incredibly large the Mansion was.

It was even bigger than the palaces in the Cloud Skies Continent.

All along the way, Wyatt Barnes’s ’Heavenly Eye’ did not stop working, and he noticed that the majority of people they passed by were above the Transcending Mortal Realm.

He even saw several individuals with late-stage Transcending Mortal Realm cultivation levels.

Not long after, Damien Lynch controlled the vehicle to a stop and gestured for Wyatt Barnes and another person to get off.

Then, he led Wyatt Barnes and the other, walking towards a bamboo forest up ahead, passing through the forest and onto a cobblestone walkway, with temporarily no one in sight.

They weaved through several paths and Damien Lynch brought Wyatt Barnes and another into a vast courtyard deep within Hill Mountain City’s premises.

Before they could walk into the courtyard, Wyatt Barnes and Jemma Clifford instinctively wrinkled their noses.

Only because they smelled an odious smell wafting out from inside.

This smell was unmistakably that of excrement.

"What kind of place is this?"

Wyatt Barnes and Jemma Clifford exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of dread in the other’s eyes...

This seemed to be the end of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Inside, could it be the ’Training Ground for Talents’?

At this thought, they dared not continue thinking about it.

Inhaling the incessant stench, Wyatt Barnes and Jemma Clifford wrinkled their brows as they followed Damien Lynch into the courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, what met their eyes was a plot of uneven wasteland... Such a place, appearing within the City Lord’s Main Mansion of Hill Mountain City, seemed out of place, as if it were another world entirely.

"Hmm?"

Wyatt focused his gaze ahead and saw that on this wasteland, there were dilapidated wooden huts constructed, as if they were in imminent danger of collapsing at any moment.

Behind these wooden huts stood a raised platform, upon which likewise sat thirteen wooden huts, but these thirteen were brand new, and the environment inside them seemed quite decent.

Most importantly, Wyatt located the source of the stench.

Beneath the platform stretched a long, narrow cesspool, piled high with excrement, creating a vomit-inducing sight for anyone who laid eyes on it.

However, Wyatt fared better; his past life as a special forces and mercenary soldier had conditioned him to quickly adapt to any adverse environment.

But Jemma Clifford was different; she had already begun to retch with disgust.

"This is the ’Elite Training Camp’ of the City Lord’s Main Mansion, personally established by the City Lord himself, a place devoted to nurturing talented individuals... And this is where you will soon be staying," said Damien Lynch, as if he hadn’t noticed Jemma’s reaction, continuing to introduce the place to her and Wyatt.

Wyatt gave a bitter smile.

Meanwhile, Jemma’s face turned pale, and her retching intensified.

The Elite Training Camp?

This was where she was supposed to stay, in such a godforsaken place?

In that moment, Jemma even felt the urge to turn around and leave...

However, the thought that if she gave up this opportunity and returned to Jade Trust Town, she could be assassinated by the other two major families at any time, extinguished that impulse.

Wyatt continued to survey the environment before him.

He noticed that aside from the ramshackle wooden huts on the wasteland and the brand new huts on the platform, there was also a towering pavilion to one side of the platform.

"Haha... Damien, you’ve returned as well?"

Along with a hearty burst of laughter, Wyatt saw an aged elder approaching from the other side...

Following him were two young men.

The brows of the two young men were furrowed together; they were pinching their noses, clearly nauseated by the environment here as well.

"Elder Mullins."

Seeing the elder, Damien Lynch quickly responded with a smile, his greeting showing a familiarity.

"What? These two are the talents you brought back from Jade Trust Town?"

Soon enough, the elder’s gaze landed on Wyatt and Jemma, his eyes narrowing into a smile as he asked.

The elder’s gaze seemed casual, but when it fell upon Wyatt, it still gave him a sensation of prickling unease...

This prompted him to involuntarily use his ’Heavenly Eye’.

He discovered that this elder, just like Damien Lynch, was at the peak of the Transcending Mortal Realm - ’Transcending Mortal Realm Great Perfection’.

He was the second person at this level Wyatt had met since arriving in the Martial Dao Sacred Land, a being as powerful as Damien Lynch.

"Jemma, how would you rank the City Lord’s Main Mansion of Hill Mountain City among the forces?" Wyatt enquired of Jemma Clifford through the transmission of True Energy.

By then, Jemma had recovered somewhat and responded to Wyatt’s question via True Energy transmission, "The City Lord’s Main Mansion of Hill Mountain City is considered an ’eighth-tier force’ in the Martial Dao Sacred Land."

"An eighth-tier force generally has someone at the Entering the Saint Realm presiding over it... Like the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, who is an entity in the Entering the Saint Realm. Elder Lynch is at the Great Perfection of the Transcending Mortal Realm."

Jemma continued, "Additionally, the City Lord’s Main Mansion of Hill Mountain City controls a Grade Eight Holy Stone mine."

"She is Jemma Clifford, a talent I brought back from the Clifford Family in Jade Trust Town... Although she is a woman, in the younger generation of Jade Trust Town, she ranks first," Damien Lynch introduced Jemma to the elder with a smile, then turned to look at Wyatt, his smile growing wider, "As for him, I encountered him on the road... his name is Wyatt Barnes, from the mortal continent."

"The mortal continent?"

Upon hearing Damien’s words, the elder expressed surprise, and even the two young men behind him now cast additional glances at Wyatt.

"Damien, being brought back by you, and even hailing from the mortal continent... He must be no ordinary individual. It seems that this time, you’ll receive quite a few rewards from the City Lord," the elder said enviously.

Then, he began introducing the two young men following him.

Firstly, introducing the youth in blue clothes, "This is ’Gideon Cruz,’ the talent I found in Wind-Rain Town this time... He’s twenty-eight years old and has a cultivation in the ’Mid-phase of the Transcending Mortal Realm.’

"This one, named ’Edward Watson,’ is also a talent from Wind-Rain Town, twenty-nine this year, with a cultivation also in the ’Mid-phase of the Transcending Mortal Realm.’

Quickly after, the elder’s gaze moved to the other youth in green clothes.

As the elder introduced the two young men, his face revealed a hint of pride, not only reporting their ages but also their cultivation levels...

Before the age of thirty, at the Mid-phase of the Transcending Mortal Realm.

Such individuals, even considering the surrounding regions of Hill Mountain City, were top-tier geniuses.

The two young men behind the elder, who were initially pinching their noses and wrinkling their brows, Gideon Cruz and Edward Watson, upon noticing that Jemma had stopped pinching her nose and her brows had relaxed, followed suit.

Although they still found the place disgusting and felt an urge to immediately turn around and leave, they endured it.

Neither was willing to lose face in front of a beauty like Jemma Clifford.
