Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 605: Watching Intently

Chapter 605: Chapter 605: Watching Intently

Wyatt Barnes wanted to interject, but it was already too late.

Julia, the headstrong girl, didn’t know how to hold her tongue once she was in the right.

"Mind your words, girl, lest you get into trouble!"

The elder in green robes grimaced, his eyes flickering with a murderous intent as he glared at Karina Hanson.

"Getting into trouble? Old geezer, I..."

Karina Hanson couldn’t tolerate the elder’s threats and immediately bristled.

"Julia!"

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes gently grabbed Karina’s hand and shook his head, his voice emboldened with Origin Force, "There’s no need to face off with him... besides, this old codger has some abilities. Once he enters the Sword Emperor’s treasure trove and finds something valuable, we can just rob him."

"Killing him now is not worth it."

Wyatt Barnes’ words pacified Karina, she huffed, "Old coot, I’ll let you off for the sake of my brother Wyatt."

However, a glimmer of excitement shone in Karina’s eyes, she whispered to Wyatt, "Brother Wyatt, you’re right... we’ll let this old fart find the treasures then rob him, enjoy his frustration, and then kill him!"

The resonance of Karina’s Origin Force voice sent chills down Wyatt Barnes’ spine, making him inwardly mourn for the elder in green.

Who else had this old man offended that he dared to provoke this little witch?

"You!!"

Annoyed by the reprimand of a girl in her teenage years, the elder’s face turned beet red, his body trembling with suppressed anger.

Just as the elder prepared to retort, Echo Reid hurriedly intervened, "Elder Cruz, since the young lady has stepped back, there’s no need to keep up the argument... just let it go."

"Humph!"

Elder Cruz snorted coldly, but in the end, heeded Echo’s advice and ceased his retort.

Wyatt Barnes gave the elder a sidelong glance.

Before Wyatt’s spiritual power, the old man’s cultivation level was completely exposed.

This old man was at the ’Enter Void Realm Level Eight’.

By power comparison, he was as formidable as the Grand Elder of the Don Family who died at the hands of Wyatt Barnes two days ago.

Meanwhile, tranquillity was once again restored to the valley.

The two middle-aged men in brocade robes standing aside were now thoroughly examining Wyatt Barnes and Karina Hanson, their eyes filled with an odd light of profound curiosity as they speculated about something.

Whoo! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

More figures shot down from the top of the valley.

Before long, the remaining five groups of people arrived as scheduled.

These people all arrived in pairs.

When the other five teams noticed the duo of Wyatt Barnes and Karina Hanson, they couldn’t help but be taken aback.

"Are they also possessors of the Jade Sword?"

Many people couldn’t curb their curiosity.

"Young man, do you really have a Jade Sword?"

Quickly, someone queried Wyatt Barnes, his face filled with skepticism.

Wyatt Barnes didn’t beat around the bush; he casually took out his ’Jade Sword’ from the Storage Ring and waved it in front of the skeptic.

The man was immediately silenced.

"Young man, if I were you, I would take an elder along to the Sword Emperor’s treasure trove... you are just too impulsive."

A kindly elder in green robes sighed while shaking his head.

The risks of the Sword Emperor’s treasure trove were unpredictable and known to all.

Hence, no one dared underestimate the dangers within.

The greatest fear stemmed from the unknown.

Under such circumstances, the stronger your power, the higher your chances of surviving and gaining something valuable inside.

"Thank you for your advice."

Wyatt Barnes appreciated the old man in green’s advice with a warm smile, "Rest assured, elder, I have it under control."

"Does everyone else possess a Jade Sword?"

At this time, someone else pulled out a Jade Sword and inquired.

Immediately, each of the other seven groups had one person showcasing a Jade Sword before everyone.

All of the Nine Jade Swords were gathered.

And at that very moment-

"Huh?"

Wyatt Barnes noticed the Jade Sword in his hand was trembling. It was as if it was being drawn to something, desperately trying to break free from his grasp.

And the Jade Sword in the hands of the eight others were having the same reaction.

All Nine Jade Swords were vibrating, pointed in the same direction...

More precisely, they were all focusing on the same ’point’.

"Legend has it that once the nine swords unite, they form a new Jade Sword, leading us to the ’Sword Emperor’s Treasure Trove’!"

At this moment Echo Reid, who was holding one of the Jade Swords, spoke up, "Everyone, how about we unite the nine swords right now and set off to the ’Sword Emperor’s Treasure Trove’ together?"

As Echo finished speaking, he looked around the crowd.

"I don’t mind."

Wyatt Barnes shrugged nonchalantly.

"I don’t mind either."

"I don’t mind."

...

For a moment, aside from Echo Reid who proposed the suggestion, five of the people holding the Jade Sword shook their heads.

Including Wyatt Barnes and Echo Reid, a total of seven people agreed to unite the Nine Jade Swords directly and seek the ’Sword Emperor’s Treasure’.

Only two of the people holding the Jade Swords have yet to express their opinions.

One of them was one of the two robed middle-aged men who had come to the valley earlier.

The other was a short, skinny old man with distinctly protruding eyes.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes noticed that the robed middle-aged man and the skinny old man suddenly looked at each other, nodding in unison.

It seemed like they had reached some sort of agreement.

Immediately after, Wyatt saw this.

The two robe-clad middle-aged men, the skinny old man, and the elderly woman next to the old man turned their gazes toward him.

More precisely, they were looking at him and Karina Hanson who was by his side.

"What are you trying to do?!" Echo Reid’s face changed subtly.

"Nothing... It’s just that some people don’t deserve to hold the ’Jade Sword’. They should hand the Jade Sword over, and give up two seats."

The robe-clad middle-aged man holding the Jade Sword shook his head as he looked at Wyatt Barnes.

It was as if he was dismissively narrating unimportant matters.

"Exactly!"

The skinny old man who also held the Jade Sword nodded in agreement, "There is a friend of mine, in the Imperial City of the Eastern Mulberry Empire... I wasn’t initially planning to bring him along. However, now that there are two extra places available, I would like to have him join us."

"He is a Seventh-Order of ’Enter Void Realm’ being. If we enter ’Sword Emperor’s Treasure’ together, it would benefit us greatly."

This statement from the skinny old man brought relief to the people whose faces had turned white with shock.

Indeed.

Although they were unsure of the dangers hidden within the Sword Emperor’s Treasure, they were certain of one thing.

The stronger you were, the higher your chances of surviving inside.

For a moment, most gazes fell on Wyatt Barnes and Karina Hanson.

Perhaps in their eyes, a young man in purple around 25 years old and a 15 or 16-year-old girl in a yellow dress – even if these two entered the ’Sword Emperor’s Treasure’, it would be of no use to them; they would only be dragging them down.

And yet, though others thought so, they kept silent, and simply stepped back to watch events unfold.

This included Echo Reid.

In a moment, Wyatt Barnes and Karina Hanson were surrounded by the two robed middle-aged men, the skinny old man, and the elderly woman in gray, forming a four-cornered standoff.

Their stares, fierce and predatory, were firmly fixed on the Jade Sword in Wyatt Barnes’s hand.

"Kid, if you hand over the Jade Sword now and leave... we can spare your life."

"Correct! If you just hand over the Jade Sword and give up those two spots, we have no reason to harm you."

"Kid, if you know what’s good for you, drop the Jade Sword and scram!"

...

The four men looked at Wyatt Barnes, their words filled with threats.

The valley was now fraught with tension like drawn swords ready to strike.

Of course, another five groups were merely present to watch the excitement.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian!"

Standing not far away, Echo Reid furrowed his brow and couldn’t bear to look on any longer. He stepped forward, attempting to aid Wyatt Barnes.

"Echo Reid!"

At this moment, the elder clad in blue standing next to Echo Reid stopped him, "Don’t meddle in these murky waters! Otherwise, I won’t spare you."

Caught off guard, Echo Reid gave Wyatt Barnes a guilty look, sighed, and ultimately withdrew his step.

Wyatt Barnes took in this scene clearly.

At the same time as being touched, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger...

Of course, his anger was directed towards the elder in blue.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, hand over the Jade Sword... Whatever is inside the ’Sword Emperor’s Treasure’ is illusory. Only your own life is real, and the most important!"

Echo Reid’s ’Origin Force Consolidated Voice’ reached Wyatt Barnes’ ears.

Echo Reid was trying to persuade Wyatt Barnes to give up the Jade Sword and leave.

Wyatt Barnes of course knew that Echo Reid had good intentions.

"No matter what, in the presence of so many people here, only you expressed the desire to help me, to advise me... I, Wyatt Barnes, will remember this act of kindness."

Wyatt Barnes nodded at Echo Reid, creating an ’Origin Force Consolidated Voice’, then added, "However, it isn’t that just any Tom, Dick, or Harry is capable of snatching the Jade Sword from my hand."

Echo Reid was stunned.

He couldn’t imagine where this young man got such tremendous confidence from.

A young man who looked to be about 25 years old, even if gifted, could only have possibly just entered the ’Enter Void Realm’ as a martial artist at the very most.

As for the other 15 or 16-year-old girl, the fact that she could freely move in the air and defy gravity had already shocked him.

In his view, the girl was at most a budding genius martial artist who just broke through to the ’Peep Naught Realm’.

"Kid, I am giving you five breaths to think about it... If by then you haven’t dropped the Jade Sword in your hand, both you and this lass are as good as dead!"

The robe-clad middle-aged man holding the Jade Sword threatened him in a harsh voice.

"You are still young and have your whole life ahead of you... There’s no need to lose your life over a mere Jade Sword."

The skinny old man looked at Wyatt Barnes emotionlessly. Despite his calm tone, it was filled with murderous intent.

Even when faced with threats, Wyatt Barnes’s expression remained steady, as unflinching as if he were observing the collapse of a mountain.

Then, Wyatt Barnes looked at Karina Hanson by his side and asked with a smile: "Julia, people want to forcibly take our Jade Swords and seize our spots to enter the ’Sword Emperor’s Treasure’... What do you think we should do?"

Nobody noticed that the moment the two robe-clad middle-aged men, the skinny old man, and the grey-clothed elderly woman surrounded them, Karina Hanson’s eyes revealed a faint glimmer of excitement.
