Chapter 924: Chapter 924: Provocation of the Crimson Moon Sect
"Let’s go!"
With those words from Sect Leader Clifford of the Five Elements Sect, he and his entourage, including Wyatt Barnes, continued to fly swiftly ahead.
Soon, they arrived at a vast expanse of hilly terrain, which seemed endless to the eye.
"There are people over there!"
Suddenly, a disciple of the Five Elements Sect exclaimed as if he had discovered something.
Instantly, everyone followed his gaze and saw a group of people approaching rapidly from a distance, who arrived in front of them in a moment.
The newcomers also noticed them and stopped in their tracks, facing them.
There were twenty-four people in total, comprising one middle-aged man, three elderly individuals, and twenty young men and women under the age of forty.
Apart from the middle-aged man in casual dress, whether the three elderly or the twenty young men and women, all were clad in red robes adorned with gold or copper edges.
The three elderly individuals wore robes with gold edges, while the twenty young people wore robes with copper edges, and all had badges on their chests depicting a bright, crimson crescent moon.
"Uniforms?"
Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow, immediately thinking of ’Grimm Wolf Fortress.’
The vice fort masters and disciples of Grimm Wolf Fortress often wore such uniforms.
"Grimm Wolf Fortress... Sooner or later, we’ll settle our scores."
Thinking of Grimm Wolf Fortress, a bloody hue flickered in Wyatt’s eyes.
The scenes of him being chased by the five vice fort masters of Grimm Wolf Fortress and his friend from Wood Town sacrificing his life to save Wyatt were vivid in his mind.
Debts paid in blood!
"It’s the people from the Crimson Moon Sect!"
A flurry of whispers reached Wyatt’s ears, coming from numerous disciples of the Five Elements Sect.
"The Crimson Moon Sect?"
Wyatt looked at the ’Crimson Moon badges’ on the chests of the group before him and suddenly realized.
He was familiar with the Crimson Moon Sect.
Back when he was still in ’Drifting Cloud Town’ at the Wood Family’s home, Daisy Wood had once told him about the Crimson Moon Sect.
He knew that the Crimson Moon Sect was one of the three major powers in the eastern region of the Northern Desert, just like the Five Elements Sect.
In terms of strength, they were no less inferior to the Five Elements Sect.
"Sect Leader Jaiden."
Clifford looked at the leading middle-aged man and greeted him flatly, "I really didn’t expect that your ’Crimson Moon Sect’ also received the news."
"This middle-aged man in casual wear, of average build and ordinary appearance, is none other than Jaiden Tasker, the leader of the Crimson Moon Sect... His cultivation, it’s said, has already reached the peak of the ’Void Realm.’
As Wyatt looked at the middle-aged man, a familiar voice reached his ears through Origin Force, informing him of the man’s identity.
"I didn’t expect your Five Elements Sect to be so well-informed either... However, the ’Martial Emperor’s treasure’ should go to whoever is capable," Jaiden Tasker said, glancing at Clifford and pausing towards the end.
His sharp gaze swept across Wyatt and the other twenty young disciples of the Five Elements Sect, eventually landing on Wyatt with a sneer, "Sect Leader Clifford, it seems your Five Elements Sect really has no one left in the younger generation... Shouldn’t such a little kid be at home drinking milk instead?"
"Hahahaha..."
As soon as Tasker spoke, the three elderly people and the twenty young men and women behind him burst into laughter, filled with mockery.
"The Sect Leader is right, such a kid should stay at home and drink milk!"
"Looking at his age, he appears to be around twenty-five... Is such a waste going into the ’Martial Emperor’s treasure’ to seek death?"
"Perhaps, he thinks that dying in the ’Martial Emperor’s treasure’ is a glorious thing."
...
Many of the Crimson Moon Sect disciples openly debated and ridiculed Wyatt, intentionally raising their voices in a coordinated effort with their Sect Leader to embarrass the Five Elements Sect.
Humiliation!
Blatant humiliation!
Although Wyatt’s face remained calm, his narrowed eyes sparkled with a chilling light, subtly conveying his mood.
His gaze was firmly fixed on those mocking Crimson Moon Sect disciples.
Should he find an occasion, he would not hesitate to deliver a deadly blow, showing no mercy!
His dignity was not to be trampled upon by anyone.
Milk?
Clifford’s face also turned extremely ugly.
The three major powers in the eastern region of the Northern Desert were inherently antagonistic; if any one power could destroy the other two, they surely wouldn’t wait until the next day to act.
Yet, Clifford could never have imagined that at a gathering like today, the Crimson Moon Sect Leader would disregard all decorum and openly mock the disciples of his Five Elements Sect from their very first meeting.
"Sect Leader Jaiden, treating a junior like this as a Sect Leader seems somewhat inappropriate, doesn’t it?"
Clifford asked in a deep voice.
"Inappropriate? I don’t think so," Jaiden Tasker replied calmly, "If he thinks what I’ve said is wrong, he can step forward and challenge any of my twenty young disciples from the Crimson Moon Sect! If he can defeat any one of them... I, Jaiden Tasker, leader of the Crimson Moon Sect, will take back what I just said."
Whoosh!
Almost the moment Jaiden Tasker’s words fell, a purple figure had already crossed the group from the Five Elements Sect and stood in front of Clifford, the Sect Leader.
It was ’Wyatt Barnes.’
"Kid, do you really dare to step forward?"
Upon seeing Wyatt Barnes emerge from the group of people at the Five Elements Sect, Jaiden Tasker’s eyes betrayed a hint of surprise, followed by a mocking smile, "I should really remind you... acting brave on impulse could very well cost you your life!"
"Is Sect Leader Tasker planning to take back what he just said?"
Wyatt Barnes’s gaze was calm, and even when facing Jaiden Tasker, the Sect Leader of the Crimson Moon Sect, he remained neither humble nor arrogant, speaking with a neutral tone as if he was talking to someone insignificant.
"Hmm?"
Jaiden Tasker was initially stunned, then couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "It seems you’re really seeking death."
"Kid, come on, challenge me! I’ll fight you!"
"Five Elements Sect’s kid, if you have the guts, challenge me!"
"And me!"
...
The seven disciples of the Crimson Moon Sect previously emboldened by Jaiden Tasker’s words, who were blatantly trampling on Wyatt Barnes’s dignity, now turned towards him, shouting provocations.
Their faces were filled with disdain, completely disregarding Wyatt Barnes.
"Since all seven of you want to fight me... then I shall oblige! All seven of you come out at once and fight me."
Wyatt Barnes stood in the air, his eyes focused, scanning over the seven shouting disciples of the Crimson Moon Sect, his voice cold and devoid of any emotion as he spoke.
The moment Wyatt Barnes spoke, not only the seven disciples of the Crimson Moon Sect were stunned, but the other thirteen disciples were also stunned.
The three elderly men in red robes adorned with golden borders, and the Sect Leader of the Crimson Moon Sect, ’Jaiden Tasker’, were all stunned as well.
In contrast, on the side of the Five Elements Sect, from Sect Leader Clifford down, everyone’s expression remained unchanged as if the scene before them wasn’t stirring any wave in their hearts.
"Hmph! This guy, showing off again."
Flame Peak’s Peak Master ’Teawhite’ and his direct disciple ’Tatum Cruz’, quietly snorted.
"Hmm?"
At that moment, the Sect Leader of the Crimson Moon Sect ’Jaiden Tasker’ also noticed the demeanor of the group from the Five Elements Sect and felt a jolt inside.
Had he misjudged the situation?
Thinking this, Jaiden Tasker scrutinized the purple-clad young man before him, his piercing gaze seemingly able to penetrate everything, firmly locked onto Wyatt Barnes, as if trying to thoroughly see through him.
Facing Jaiden Tasker’s intense scrutiny, Wyatt Barnes appeared as calm and composed as ever, showing neither joy nor anger.
"Hahaha..."
Meanwhile, the seven Crimson Moon Sect disciples, just called out by Wyatt Barnes, came back to themselves and could not help but burst into laughter.
It was as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Just him, wanting to take on seven of us by himself?"
"Is he out of his mind?"
...
The seven Crimson Moon Sect disciples looked at Wyatt Barnes mockingly, their words growing more and more offensive.
At this point, even among the other thirteen Crimson Moon Sect disciples, many couldn’t help but laugh.
Of course, a few perceptive disciples of the Crimson Moon Sect noticed the calm demeanor of the group from the Five Elements Sect and, upon looking again at the tranquil-faced Wyatt Barnes, a trace of wariness appeared in their eyes.
"What? You don’t dare?!"
Facing the repeated provocations of the seven Crimson Moon Sect disciples, Wyatt Barnes’s expression still showed no change. He stood in the air, his purple robe fluttering lightly with the breeze, calmly watching the seven men in front of him.
"What? You’re saying we don’t dare?!"
"It’s really like the tiger not showing its might, thinking we are sick cats!"
"Brothers, since he looks down on us so much, let’s show him what we’re made of!"
...
The seven Crimson Moon Sect disciples were completely infuriated by Wyatt Barnes, and each flew up, surrounding Wyatt Barnes tightly, glaring at him fiercely.
Sect Leader Jaiden Tasker frowned slightly, feeling that something was amiss, the disciple in purple from the Five Elements Sect seemed a bit too confident.
Was he truly confident?
Or was it all bluff?
Now, seeing the composed demeanor of the Five Elements Sect group, Jaiden Tasker was also unsure.
Moreover, at this point in the proceedings, could he still step in to stop it?
Keep in mind, it was he who had asked for someone to come forward and challenge them.
To stop now would be like slapping his own face.
The three elders in the Crimson Moon Sect wearing golden-edged red robes also appeared slightly somber; they and Jaiden Tasker both felt some unease about the situation.
"Sect Leader Tasker... I recall you said to me just now that I might lose my life due to a moment of bravery, right?"
Surrounded by the seven Crimson Moon Sect disciples, Wyatt Barnes looked calmly at Jaiden Tasker and lightly asked, "So, does Sect Leader Tasker agree that I should fight to the death against these seven men of your Crimson Moon Sect?"
Upon hearing this, Jaiden Tasker’s face darkened, yet he had no counterargument.
He had indeed said that.
"Five Elements Sect’s kid, it seems you really wish to die!"
"If you’re looking for death, we’ll grant it to you!"
...
The seven Crimson Moon Sect disciples surrounding Wyatt Barnes shouted loudly one after another, their Origin Force fluctuating, and ’realm’ rising with it.
