Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 451: Defection

Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Defection

At the summit of Heavenly Pivot Peak, almost all disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Clan had convened, their heads bobbing like waves. Yet this moment was dreadfully silent.

The only sound was the repressed rhythm of their breathing, uneven and continuous.

To the disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Clan present, everyone from the three major sects who now stood atop Heavenly Pivot Peak was beyond their reach, aside from the traitor of the Seven Stars Sword Clan, Garrett Yellow, who stood beside the Sect Leader of the Returning Origin Sect.

And it wasn’t just them who felt distant.

Even the majority of the Seven Stars Sword Clan’s upper rank felt utterly remote.

Aside from Garrett Yellow, everyone from the three major sects was at the Enter Void Realm level.

Even the weakest among them, the flying demon beast ’Ozzy Fortin’, was also at the ’Enter Void Realm’s fourth level’.

"Sect Leader Foxsong, Elder Palm said it’s impossible... do you also think so?"

The Sect Leader of the Returning Origin Sect, Yousef Wright, stared intently at Zeke Foxsong, with a sinister smile on his face.

As soon as Yousef Wright finished speaking.

Everyone in the vicinity, including Wyatt Barnes, directed their gaze at Zeke Foxsong.

"As long as the Seven Stars Sword Clan exists, so shall I, Zeke Foxsong... If the Seven Stars Sword Clan ceases to exist, even if I am alive. It would be as good as being dead!"

With these words, Zeke Foxsong declared his stance.

If the Seven Stars Sword Clan were to compromise and merge with the three major sects, becoming part of the ’Green Forest Four Sects’ regardless of existence it would be akin to death.

"Even if alive we would still be dead!"

"Even if alive we would still be dead!"

...

Zeke Foxsong’s words acted like a spark that completely ignited the atmosphere of the scene.

Most of the Seven Stars Sword Clan disciples present had red, excited faces, loudly howling with undaunted vigor.

One after another, an invisible wave of voices echoed continuously throughout the Seven Star Sword Clan’s peaks.

Most of the Seven Stars Sword Clan disciples obviously agreed with Zeke Foxsong’s words.

Of course, there were also those from the Seven Stars Sword Clan who went pale, with their bodies shivering unconsciously...

They had realized the impending crisis.

"I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!"

These disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Clan were filled with dread.

The high-ranking members of the Seven Stars Sword Clan, apart from Woody Dunn who had a guarded look and looked elusive, all had faces filled with resolve and fearlessness...

They were ready to live or die with their sect!

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Yousef Wright suddenly burst out laughing. His laughter echoed in all directions, dampening the voices of the Seven Stars Sword Clan disciples. He said, "Sect Leader Foxsong, are you really willing to risk your life and the lives of all those in the Seven Stars Sword Clan just for the sake of the Hollow Sect title? Do you want your Seven Stars Sword Clan to follow in the footsteps of the Mountain-Opening Sect?"

Upon hearing these words from Yousef Wright, the faces of the Seven Stars Sword Clan’s members changed color.

The Mountain-Opening Sect?

"You... you destroyed the Mountain-Opening Sect?"

The pupils of Woody Dunn’s eyes narrowed in surprise, and he asked in a shock.

"That’s right! Not long ago, the Mountain-Opening Sect ceased to exist. Besides a group of disciples who agreed to join us, the ’Green Forest Three Sects,’ members from the Sect Leader of the Mountain-Opening Sect, Protectors, Demon Beasts, and many high-ranking Mountain-Opening Sect members, have all perished!"

The Sect Leader of the Lily Blade Sect continued in a resounding voice.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

...

In an instant, whether it was the high-ranking members of the Seven Stars Sword Clan or the disciples, their faces all changed.

Mountain-Opening Sect, one of the five major sects of the Royal Green Forest Country, was annihilated just like that?

"Mountain-Opening Sect... Sect Master Thorn..."

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

Sect Master Thorn of the Mountain-Opening Sect was undoubtedly an open-minded person.

A year ago, at the Martial Meeting of the Five Major Sects, Wyatt Barnes defeated two disciples of the Mountain-Opening Sect, causing the sect to lose face...

But instead of anger, the Sect Master Gordon was actually cordial and invited him to visit the Mountain-Opening Sect.

Because of this, Wyatt Barnes had a good impression of Sect Master Thorn.

Bearing the news of Thorn’s Mountain-Opening Sect being wiped out, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but sigh internally.

The Mountain-Opening Sect, one of the five major sects of the Royal Green Forest Country, was once so powerful and is now gone.

Soon, Wyatt Barnes’s face became filled with seriousness.

Although the strength of the Seven Stars Sword Clan far exceeded that of the Mountain-Opening Sect, but now with the top powers from the three major sects descending upon them, even the Seven Stars Sword Clan felt powerless...

The top powers of the three major sects, both in terms of strength and numbers, were astonishing and far superior to the Seven Stars Sword Clan.

"Little Gold, perhaps today, we will perish alongside the sect."

Wyatt Barnes brushed his sleeve, and communicated with Little Gold Mouse using his Origin Force.

"Brother Leandro, we will definitely survive."

Little Gold comforted him with her Origin Force.

Survive?

Hearing such naïve words from Little Gold, Wyatt Barnes simply shook his head and smiled without replying.

He held no such extravagant hopes.

Under the watchful eyes of the three major sects’ powerhouses, everyone in the Seven Stars Sword Clan likely wouldn’t be able to escape.

At this moment.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

At the summit of Heavenly Pivot Peak, there seemed to be a great shaking as countless heavy footsteps drew closer and closer.

"It’s the people from the Lily Blade Sect!"

"And also the Returning Origin Sect!"

"The people of Snow Moon are here too!"

With the alarmed exclamations of Seven Stars Sword Sect disciples around Heavenly Pivot Peak, the area was crowded with people from Demon Lotus Knife Sect, Returning Origin Sect, and Snow Moon Sect...

These people were mostly inner sect disciples of the three great sects.

Along with many sect elders.

Clearly, those three large sects came prepared today to eliminate the entire Seven Stars Sword Sect, and let their ’Green Forest Tri-Sect’ dominate the Royal Green Forest country...

At that time, even the Imperial Family of Green Forest might fear the intimidating force of ’Green Forest Tri-Sect’.

"I’m willing to defect to the ’Green Forest Tri-Sect’, I’m willing to defect to the Green Forest Tri-Sect... Don’t kill me, don’t kill me!"

One of the Seven Stars Sword Sect’s outer sect disciples pleadingly spoke, looking to the elders and disciples of the three Sects surrounding them.

"Those Seven Stars Sword Sect disciples who are willing to join the ’Green Forest Tri-Sect’ may proceed behind us ... Don’t think of escaping, otherwise, you will undoubtedly die!"

The commanding voice of the Demon Lotus Knife Sect Leader shattered the defense of many Seven Stars Sword Sect disciples’ minds.

"I’m willing to defect!"

"I don’t want to die!"

"I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!"

...

Suddenly, many Seven Stars Sword Sect disciples rushed towards the Green Forest Tri-Sect’s disciples.

These Seven Stars Sword Sect disciples were mostly outer sect disciples who didn’t have a strong sense of belonging towards the Seven Stars Sword Sect.

"Betrayers of our Sect, deserve death!"

Many Seven Stars Sword Sect inner sect disciples, with their cold stares, took action and killed those outer sect disciples who intended to betray their Sect.

In a moment, the peak of Heavenly Pivot Peak was drenched in blood.

Watching this scene, many Seven Stars Sword Sect disciples who planned to betray their sect to join the Green Forest Tri-Sect turned pale and dared not act recklessly.

"Sect Leader Foxsong, is this how the Seven Stars Sword Sect insists on being, not wishing to let the disciples under your wing pursue greatness and seek another path to survival?"

The Sect Leader of Snow Moon looked towards Zeke Foxsong and asked.

"Enough, enough."

Zeke Foxsong sighed, the man seems to have lost all his strength, "Those valid Seven Stars Sword Sect disciples who want to die together with our sect, listen to me. People have their own ambitions ... do not kill the fellow sect members who once shared our cause!"

Fellow sect members!

These four words were undoubtedly mixed with an immense amount of hopelessness and sorrow.

Once Zeke Foxsong’s words fell, Seven Stars Sword Sect’s disciples started flooding out...

Within a short time, more than half had left.

The remaining were no more than a hundred people.

Most of them were inner sect disciples.

"The situation is probably what they mean by ’every man for himself when the tree falls’."

Wyatt Barnes sighed in his heart. He didn’t feel the slightest hatred for these disciples who chose to leave the Seven Stars Sword Sect.

Just as Zeke Foxsong had said, people have their own ambitions.

Moreover, these Seven Stars Sword Sect disciples were not like the respective Peak Masters’ and Elders’ personal disciples. They didn’t receive much help in the Seven Stars Sword Sect.

They relied more on themselves.

The Seven Stars Sword Sect only gave them a glorified status.

Their sense of belonging to the Seven Stars Sword Sect was limited.

"I didn’t misjudge after all."

Many high-ranking members of the Seven Stars Sword Sect looked at their own personal disciples amongst the group that remained, their faces showing a satisfied smile.

"Master, I can only repay your kindness in my next life!"

Just then, an unexpected voice rang out.

A young man in white who had already moved close to the edge of Heavenly Pivot Peak, his body moved like a sharp arrow as he blended into the Green Forest Tri-Sect’s disciples and disappeared.

"Kade Cruz!"

Wyatt Barnes recognized the inner sect disciple who was now betraying the Seven Stars Sword Sect as Kade Cruz. He was the personal disciple of the Heavenly Authority Peak Master.

At first, before the outer sect competition, Wyatt Barnes had heard.

Kade Cruz was the favorite disciple of the Heavenly Authority Peak Master. The master even found him a seventh-grade spirit sword that could increase one’s power by ’30%’...

Without a doubt, the Heavenly Authority Peak Master spared nothing to develop Kade into a talented disciple.

But now, Kade Cruz turned out to be the first one to betray among the remaining disciples personally taught by the high-ranking members of the Seven Stars Sword Sect!

"Unfilial disciple!"

Suddenly, a furious shout came to Wyatt Barnes’s ears.

Then he saw,

Among the high-ranking Seven Stars Sword Sect members, a middle-aged man also dressed in white, with his face flushed red and Origin Force raging from his body in extreme anger, "Watch as I kill you!"

Whoosh!

In a blink, the Heavenly Authority Peak Master moved, like a sharp blade, darting out.

In the void above, a primordial horned dragon and two thousand giant elephant phantoms rushed out...

Peep Naught realm ninth stage!

"Master, have mercy!"

Kade Cruz hid behind the Green Forest Tri-Sect disciples, his face changing drastically with fear and unease seeing his master dashing towards him.

Soon after, he let out a breath of relief.

Because from the Green Forest Tri-Sect, a Peep Naught ninth-stage elder came out and stopped the Heavenly Authority Peak Master.

"Master, rest assured, I will certainly make the knowledge you imparted to me shine... You can go in peace, disciple will remember your kindness all my life."

After calming down his heart’s fear, Kade Cruz took a deep breath and said to the Heavenly Authority Peak Master.

"You... You... You unfilial disciple!"

The Heavenly Authority Peak Master was angered to the point of a violent reaction, already with a flushed face, he spat out a mouthful of old blood due to excessive anger.
