Chapter 856: Chapter 856: Return to the Walton Family

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Adan Walton’s words, Briggs Colby’s eyes brightened, and he asked with some surprise, "Could it be that the Walton Family has such a talented young man?"

"Elder Colby jests. In our Walton Family, aside from Noel, there are no other outstanding young talents,"

Adan Walton shook his head and bitter-smiled, "He is a young man I met some days ago. Though young, his strength is extraordinary... Don’t laugh, Elder Colby, but in our Walton Family, no one can match that young man."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Briggs Colby was greatly shocked. "Family Head Walton, I’ve heard from Noel Walton that your Walton Family’s supreme elder had already broken through to the ’Cave Void Realm Fifth Layer’ four years ago... Could it be that even he is no match for that ’young man’ you mentioned?"

"Elder Colby might not know this, but our Walton Family’s supreme elder had already broken through to the ’Cave Void Realm Sixth Layer’ a while ago."

Adan Walton sighed, his gaze becoming complicated.

Recently, that youth in purple robes had shocked him profoundly.

"Cave Void Realm Sixth Layer?"

Briggs Colby’s pupils constricted as he moved, "Family Head Walton, could it be that the young man you mentioned even defeated the supreme elder of your Walton Family, a being of the Cave Void Realm Sixth Layer?"

"Yes."

Adan Walton nodded.

"Where is he now?"

Briggs Colby’s eyes lit up, he asked eagerly, suddenly feeling that the young man could be a turning point for Niklaus Woodson of the Five Elements Sect.

Niklaus Woodson was currently on a downward spiral, desperately in need of excellent new blood to join.

"He has been staying at the Wood Family in Drifting Cloud Town recently. Elder Colby, if you are interested, I... "

Adan Walton had not finished speaking when a sudden voice interrupted him.

"Family Head Walton, Wyatt Barnes has come uninvited, please do not take offense!"

A calm and loud voice came from outside the Walton family’s main hall, growing nearer.

"It’s him!"

Adan Walton’s eyes brightened, and he hurriedly looked toward the entrance of the main hall. He hadn’t expected that just after mentioning Wyatt Barnes, Wyatt would arrive.

However, his expression soon changed.

He saw Wyatt Barnes, but he also saw two other people, a young man with a face full of terror, and another young man grievously unconscious.

He knew these two very well; they were his sons.

"Noel!"

A sudden, hoarse and elderly voice rang out. The elder who had been sitting at the head of the hall had vanished, reappearing next to the unconscious young man, who was none other than the eldest son Walton, ’Noel Walton’.

After determining that Noel’s injuries were not serious, the elder breathed a sigh of relief, fed Noel some Pill Medicine for healing, fixed his arm bone, and then stood up to look at the youth in purple robes near him.

The youth in purple robes was naturally ’Wyatt Barnes’.

"Family Head Walton, Noah Wood and his daughter Daisy Wood have come to visit,"

Another voice emerged, as Headmaster Wood ’Noah Wood’ arrived with his daughter ’Daisy Wood’.

"Was it you who injured Noel?"

The elderly man, who was the Elder of the Five Elements Sect, Niklaus Woodson, stared at Wyatt Barnes with slightly murky eyes, his voice slightly deep.

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded and then scrutinized the old man before him.

The moment he entered the Walton family main hall, he had seen the elderly man sitting at the head of the hall, easily guessing his identity.

Elder of the Five Elements Sect.

Master of Noel Walton.

"Why?"

The elderly man was evidently a calm person. Even though he saw his most beloved disciple seriously injured, he did not let anger cloud his judgment, instead seeking to understand the sequence of events first.

Seeing how reasonable the elder was, a hint of admiration and respect appeared in Wyatt Barnes’ eyes.

Actually, before coming here, he had thought more than once.

If Noel Walton’s master, the Elder of the Five Elements Sect, was a man who unreasonably protected his own people and attacked him without asking for reasons upon meeting.

Then, he would have used a talisman to kill him instantly.

His visit to the Walton family was backed by full confidence that whatever happened, he could leave composedly.

Now, it seemed he could not only save a talisman but also had the opportunity to achieve his main purpose of coming here, to join the Five Elements Sect and meet with several long-lost friends through the sect.

"You must be the master of Young Master Walton, the Elder Colby of the Five Elements Sect, right?"

Wyatt Barnes narrowed his eyes, smiling as he asked.

"Correct."

Briggs Colby nodded, then glanced at Noel Walton lying on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Yet I wonder how my useless disciple managed to offend you, compelling you to strike so ruthlessly."

"Ruthlessly?"

Wyatt Barnes chuckled, "Elder Colby, let’s be clear... do you really think I was ruthless to your disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Briggs Colby couldn’t help but be taken aback.

It must be said, though he verbally accused the youth in purple robes of being ruthless, he did not actually think so in his heart.

He had carefully examined his disciple’s injuries just now; they were all external injuries, needing only some Pill Medicine for healing and bone setting, and after some rest, he would recover fully without any lasting effects.

"Regardless, you have injured my disciple... I have always known my disciple to be of good character, certainly not one to provoke trouble! Should you not offer me an explanation?"

Briggs Colby asked in a deep voice.

In truth, he was filled with shock at the age of the young man in purple before him.

This youth, who appeared to be no more than twenty-five, had actually defeated his direct disciple, Noel Walton, a martial artist of the fourth level of the Cave Void Realm.

When he examined Noel’s injuries, he discovered that Noel had been severely wounded in a head-on fight, and the person who injured him had intentionally held back.

Otherwise, Noel’s injuries would not have been so simple.

He could hardly imagine that such a young man could possess such terrifying strength.

Unconsciously, a sense of admiration for talent began to rise deep within his heart.

"If I could bring him back to the Five Elements Sect, why worry about Niklaus Woodson not thriving? However, before bringing him back, I must test his character. Otherwise, even if he is brought back, he might be poached by the other three peaks."

A thought crossed Briggs Colby’s mind.

Over the years, their Niklaus Woodson was not without disciples of outstanding talent, but they had been poached by the other three peaks for various reasons.

If this purple-clothed youth were also of the ’fence-sitting’ type, no matter how outstanding his talent, he would not bring him back to the Five Elements Sect.

Because it would be like making a bridal gown for the other peaks.

"An explanation?"

Upon hearing Briggs Colby’s words, Wyatt Barnes shook his head, then pointed at Esteban Walton, "Elder Colby, if you truly seek an explanation, I think he should be the one to provide it."

"Hmm?"

Briggs Colby furrowed his brows and looked at Esteban Walton, "Is what he said true?"

"No! No!"

Esteban Walton hurriedly shook his head, panic-stricken as he pointed at Wyatt Barnes, "Elder Colby, it was him! He hurt my brother! Quick, kill him, kill him!"

"You miscreant!"

Finally, Adan Walton came forward, glaring at Esteban Walton and demanded, "Tell the truth, what absurd thing have you done again?!"

He had a vague guess about some things.

He knew his eldest son; he believed he would never provoke Wyatt Barnes without cause, since they bore no grudges between them.

As for Wyatt Barnes, though their interaction had been brief, he could tell that Wyatt was an upright person.

Therefore, in his view, it was his younger son who had likely stirred up this incident.

Challenged by Adan Walton, Esteban Walton trembled, his face turning pale, as he pointed at Wyatt Barnes and roared, "Dad! It was him! He hurt big brother... You must kill him! Kill him now!"

Now, Esteban Walton was hysterically shrieking, seemingly covering up the panic inside him.

"It seems you are unwilling to tell the truth?"

Wyatt Barnes glanced at Esteban Walton indifferently, then turned to Noah Wood, "Headmaster Wood, please enlighten Elder Colby and Family Head Walton about how Second Young Master Walton was behaving earlier at the Wood Family estate."

"What? You scoundrel, you actually took your brother to storm the Wood Family estate?!"

Upon hearing Wyatt’s words, Adan Walton’s face drastically changed, and with a slap, he struck Esteban Walton, leaving him dazed.

Noah Wood took a deep breath, without hiding anything, he recounted how Esteban Walton had led Noel Walton into the Wood Family estate and injured many of their family members.

"Additionally, I suspect that Young Master Walton might have been deceived by Second Young Master Walton..."

No sooner had Noah Wood begun to speak than Esteban Walton interrupted, "Noah Wood, don’t slander me!"

"Dad, Elder Colby, I didn’t deceive my brother, I didn’t! It was them, they hurt my brother! Quick, quick! Kill them, kill them!"

Esteban Walton looked towards Adan Walton and Briggs Colby, yelling hysterically.

"Beast, shut up!"

Adan Walton’s face darkened as he barked again, causing Esteban Walton’s face to turn even paler with fear shaking his body violently.

"Hm."

Suddenly, a voice came as Noel Walton, who had been unconscious, opened his eyes and mumbled groggily, "Where am I?"

"Since Young Master Walton has awakened, Headmaster Wood, there is no need to further elaborate," Wyatt Barnes said with a smile, then glanced at Esteban Walton, "What say you, Second Young Master Walton?"

Esteban Walton’s face slightly darkened, he took a deep breath and hurriedly looked towards Noel Walton.

"You’re not thinking of using Origin Force to make your brother lie for you, are you?"

Seeing Esteban Walton’s actions, Wyatt Barnes took a step forward, grabbed Esteban Walton, and spun him around several times like a top, completely distracting him, preventing him from potentially using Origin Force to manipulate.

"Noel!"

"Noel Walton!"

Adan Walton and Briggs Colby did not stop Wyatt Barnes; they stepped forward, one on each side, and helped Noel Walton to his feet, their faces filled with worry.

"Dad, Master."

Noel Walton came to his senses and asked in confusion, "How did I end up here? I... It was you! What are you trying to do to Esteban?!"

Seeing Wyatt Barnes playing with Esteban Walton, Noel Walton’s face changed drastically. He started to attack Wyatt Barnes in anger, attempting to rescue Esteban.

Unfortunately, not yet fully recovered, he had barely taken a step forward when he nearly collapsed, thankfully caught by Adan Walton and Briggs Colby.

"Noel Walton, what exactly happened? Tell me the whole story, without omitting a single word," Briggs Colby demanded in a stern voice.

Faced with the candid young man in purple, he was momentarily unsure whether it was his disciple’s fault or the young man’s.
