Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 416: Cousins

Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Cousins

"Hmph! If it wasn’t because someone took liberties, those horse thieves wouldn’t go crazy."

"How come there’s so much difference among the disciples from Seven Stars Sword Clan? Some people, they don’t have the skills, but they love to show off... If the leader of those horse thieves had not been debilitated by Elder Peni Relief, would certain people dare to act?"

"Luckily none of our brothers were killed, otherwise... hmph!"

...

A group of caravan guards discussed animatedly, implying something.

Leo Dunn’s face darkened, guessing these guards were talking about him.

"Wyatt Barnes, are you really just ’Original Infant Realm Fourth Level’?"

On the other side, Wyatt Barnes heard a sound made from condensed Origin Force.

Wyatt could identify it; it was the voice of Elder Peni Relief, and he promptly responded using condensed Origin Force, "Yes."

Upon receiving Wyatt Barnes’ confirmation, Peni Relief’s pupils contracted.

"How did you comprehend ’Momentum Wind’? To my knowledge, a warrior below the Peep Naught Realm at most comprehends the ’seed’ of ’Momentum’, it’s impossible to comprehend the true ’Momentum’."

The Origin Force sound of Peni Relief came again, filled with perplexity and disbelief.

From his perspective,

What he said was the Iron Law of Cloud Skies Continent; he had never heard of anyone being able to break it.

That Wyatt Barnes would be able to shatter this Iron Law astounded him greatly.

"I don’t know."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, replying with condensed Origin Force, "I was just... comprehending, just realized it."

Peni Relief was stunned.

What does it mean by comprehending and just realizing it?

It’s as good as not saying anything!

However, Peni Relief understood that such secrets would not be casually revealed, even by him.

It’s understandable if Wyatt Barnes didn’t want to talk about it.

The rest of the journey was relatively peaceful.

After nearly a month, Wyatt Barnes finally arrived near his destination with the Ancient River Trading Chamber’s caravan.

"About five or six days of travel, and we should be there,"

Peni Relief looked at Wyatt Barnes, saying with a smile.

After witnessing Wyatt Barnes’ astounding skills last time, Peni Relief’s attitude towards Wyatt Barnes changed somewhat.

In Cloud Skies Continent, power is respected.

Wyatt Barnes’ talent may not be as powerful as him now, but it can be said to be monstrously unparalleled.

With Wyatt Barnes’ talent, catching up to him, or even surpassing him, wouldn’t be difficult; it’d be a cinch.

"We’re almost there?"

Wyatt Barnes’ eyes lit up.

As for Peni Relief’s changing attitude, he naturally noticed.

In this world where the powerful are respected, as long as you have strength, you can earn others’ admiration and respect.

Conversely, you are seen as worthless as weed, pitiful as ants in others’ eyes.

Seven Stars Sword Clan, Heavenly Authority Peak.

Today, Elder Woody Dunn’s cultivation place in the outer sect, a well-lit gorge, received an unexpected guest.

"Are you Elder Woody Dunn?"

A travel-stained young man bowed slightly, respectfully greeting Woody Dunn.

"You are... a man from the Ancient River Trading Chamber?"

The gaze of Woody fell on the mark on the young man’s chest and his eyebrows raised, "Did my ’cousin’ send you here?"

"Cousin?"

The young man of the Ancient River Trading Chamber was caught off guard by Woody Dunn’s words.

"My cousin’s name is ’Shine Dunn’."

Woody Dunn explained.

"Yes, yes... it was Elder Shine Dunn who sent me here. Elder Woody Dunn, here is a letter from Elder Shine Dunn, given to me a month ago."

The young man from the Ancient River Trading Chamber took out a letter from his storage ring and gave it to Woody Dunn.

"A letter?"

Woody Dunn’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he took the letter.

He was curious; his cousin who hadn’t contacted him for several years was suddenly writing him a letter. Why?

His cousin was the grandson of his grandfather’s older brother, who was also the only remaining person from the Dunn Family in their generation, apart from himself.

The Dunn Family had declined to date, and aside from his grandfather, he and his cousin and their individual sons were the only ones left.

Woody Dunn opened the letter.

"Dear Cousin Woody, it’s been years since we’ve met. I am thinking about you and Grandpa... Today, there was an unexpected guest at the Ancient River Trading Chamber, Ancient City Branch where I’m staying. He claimed to be a disciple of Seven Stars Sword Clan’s Inner Sect."

"However, his age surprised me. He is only twenty-two years old! His strength outmatches my son and he is a warrior of ’Original Infant Realm Fourth Level’..."

Seeing this, Woody Dunn’s heartbeat accelerated, and his pupils contracted.

"Could it be..."

Woody Dunn took a deep breath and continued reading.

"This person calls himself ’Wyatt Barnes’! I’m not sure if Seven Stars Sword Clan has produced such an excellent disciple in recent years. Please inform me by letter so I can confirm."

Woody Dunn finished reading the letter in one breath.

All of a sudden.

"Haha... Hahaha!"

After a moment of silence, Woody Dunn started laughing loudly as if he had encountered a great fortune.

"This is the heavens helping me!"

Woody Dunn’s heart was filled with jubilation.

"Wyatt Barnes, no wonder you disappeared from sight a month ago; so you had gone to ’Ancient City’... I bet you would have never guessed that the Seven Stars Sword Clan’s Foreign Affairs Elder assigned to the Ancient River Trading Chamber’s Ancient City Branch would be my cousin."

At this thought, Woody Dunn was ecstatic and couldn’t calm down for a long time.

Woody Dunn’s eyes were filled with a chilling cold light, "Wyatt Barnes, you chose hell when there was a clear path to heaven... now, I want to see how you’re going to die this time!"

"I shall immediately pen a letter. You must deliver it to Elder Shine Dunn," said Woody Dunn as he looked at the young man from the Ancient River Trading Chamber.

"Yes, sir."

The man respectfully responded to the order.

Woody Dunn took out a pen and paper and with a flourish of his hand, he completed the letter in one go.

"This letter must be personally delivered to Elder Shine Dunn! These gold tickets are a reward for your effort," he added, handing the letter and a stash of gold tickets to the young man from the Ancient River Trading Chamber.

"Rest assured, Elder Woody, as long as I live, this letter will be safe. If anything happens to the letter, it would mean my demise!"

The man responded confidently, beaming as he accepted the gold tickets.

"Off you go!" Woody waved him off.

"Yes, sir."

The man then turned and left.

"Cousin, our Dunn family’s future lies in your hands... If we can get our hands on that Ching Washes the Marrow Sutra from Wyatt Barnes, our family will rise in power!" Woody’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.

Knowing that Wyatt was heading towards the ancient deserted city, he wished he could follow...

But he knew that his absence would inevitably leave traces.

If something were to happen to Wyatt, others could potentially trace it back to him, which he did not wish to happen.

"My cousin is stronger than me. I believe killing Wyatt to snatch the Ching Washes the Marrow Sutra wouldn’t be difficult for him."

Thoughts of this made a smile appear on Woody’s face.

Six days later.

Wyatt and his group finally exited the vast desert, and upon entering an oasis, they saw a city in the distance.

"Elder Peni, is that our destination?" asked Wyatt, curiosity evident in his tone.

"Correct."

Peni nodded. "Once we reach that city, the caravan will drop off and collect some goods... then we will return to the ancient deserted city on the same route. Meanwhile, we can enjoy a proper meal."

Wyatt’s eyes lit up at this.

They had been traveling for over a month with barely anything to eat. Now, they could finally enjoy a decent meal.

The caravan entered the city. The guard led them to unload the goods, while Wyatt, Peni, and the other three disciples from the Seven Stars Sword Clan went to a restaurant for a meal.

The meal was peaceful and uneventful.

Even Leo didn’t cause any problems.

Ever since Wyatt displayed the power of eight hundred ancient giant elephants, Leo had become entirely submissive in front of him, surprising the other Inner Sect disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Clan.

They thought Leo had changed his ways.

After the meal, Wyatt and the others met up again with the caravan outside the city to continue their journey back to the ancient deserted city.

Along the way, Wyatt spent most of his time training.

Time flew by and another month passed in a flash.

One day, Wyatt awoke from his meditation, his eyes gleaming with enlightenment.

"It looks like you’ve made some progress," Peni commented, his voice transmitted to Wyatt’s ears via Origin Force.

Wyatt gave a light smile.

At this point, his strength had reached a critical point between the fourth and fifth level of the Original Infant Realm.

He was just one opportunity away from breaking through to the ’Fifth level of the Original Infant Realm’ — this breakthrough would significantly enhance his strength.

"Once I break through to the fifth level of the Original Infant Realm... even if I meet the ’Young Master Blade’, Kase Dragonsmith, again, I won’t need to fear the power of his ’Blade Seed’. Even if his power peaks due to the ’Blade Seed’, I can still crush him!"

Thinking of this, Wyatt was filled with confidence.

"Elder Peni, how much longer until we reach the ancient deserted city?" Wyatt asked Peni.

Peni smiled and said, "In four or five days, we should arrive... by now, the people Elder Shine and I sent to Seven Stars Sword Clan should have returned. Your identity can be confirmed upon our return."

Without saying a word, Wyatt nodded and continued to rest and meditate.

Meanwhile, almost at the same time, at the Ancient River Chamber of Commerce branch in the ancient deserted city,

"Elder Shine, this is the letter Elder Woody has sent back to you," a young man said respectfully, handing a sealed letter to Shine.

"Alright, you may leave."

Shine waved his hand, dismissing the young man, who then left.

Soon, Shine opened the letter.

His gaze fell on the first paragraph, and his brows furrowed in surprise.

"So, Wyatt is indeed an Inner Sect Disciple of our Seven Stars Sword Clan? If that’s the case, then Leo was indeed too impulsive."

Shine took a breath, adjusting his nerves as he continued to read on.

"Joined Seven Stars Sword Clan less than a year ago, killed the number one Outer Sect member ’Ronin Stone’ at the age of twenty and became the new number one of Outer Sect?"

"A year later, with the cultivation of the ninth level of Original Pill Realm, killed a first-level Inner Sect disciple ’Aya Willow’?"

"Not long ago, in the ’Martial Arts Tournament’ held by the five major Sects, he defeated the ’Young Master Blade’ of the Demon Lotus Blade Sect, ’Kase Dragonsmith’ and won the ’First’ supreme honor for the Seven Stars Sword Clan?"

As Shine read further, his breaths became more and more rapid... little did he expect Wyatt to not only be an Inner Sect Disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Clan but also to have such astonishing achievements!
