Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 947: The Long Stone Stairs

Chapter 947: Chapter 947: The Long Stone Stairs

"Yes, the most unfortunate ones are still those from Grimm Wolf Fortress!"

"Twenty disciples from Grimm Wolf Fortress came, first, one unlucky fool overestimated himself and attempted to ambush Brother Wyatt, which led to his own demise as he fell into the ’Bottomless Abyss’, with no chance of survival... The remaining nineteen disciples, coveting the ’treasure’ in Brother Wyatt’s hands, were all counter-killed!"

"If the five Vice Fort Masters of Grimm Wolf Fortress knew about all this, they would surely be fuming to the point of vomiting blood!"

"Of course! Twenty people from Grimm Wolf Fortress came, and before they could delve deeper into the ’Secrets of Martial Emperor,’ they were all annihilated... If they knew, they would definitely be furious enough to die."

...

A group of disciples from the Five Elements Sect were buzzing with animated discussions, their expressions animated.

When they looked at the young man in purple robes who was slowly descending after closing the chipped monument, their eyes were filled with awe without exception.

"Brother Wyatt is so strong!"

"Indeed... Although I had confidence in him, when I saw him surrounded and attacked by forty-eight young elites, I couldn’t help but sweat for him."

"Me too. But, I never would have imagined, that in dealing with forty-eight young elites, Brother Wyatt needed only a single sword strike to kill the majority, leaving the few who didn’t die completely incapacitated and without any ability to fight again."

"I’ve decided! In this adventure to the ’Secrets of Martial Emperor,’ I will follow Brother Wyatt... As long as Brother Wyatt feasts, I’m content with even a sip of the soup."

"You, young man, are quite clever!"

...

Just as Wyatt Barnes had put away the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ and landed beside Winnie Romero, Brady Yellow, Walter Simmons, and Brian Graham, he overheard these discussions and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

The disciples of Blade and Sword Sect, standing quietly to the side and looking towards Wyatt, were likewise filled with awe.

"Wyatt... am I destined to be trampled by you all my life, never able to surpass you?"

A Blade and Sword Sect disciple’s gaze fell on Wyatt, a complex expression on his face.

It was ’Kase Dragonsmith’!

Kase Dragonsmith, formerly one of the top five princes from the Green Forest Royal Country and ’Young Master Blade’, had the chance to apprentice under the Vice Sect Leader of Blade Sect, ’Blade Five.’ His martial cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds.

Later, he also stood out in the ’Genius Conflict’ of the Green Forest Royal Country, competing with the imperial and dynastic young elites for a chance to participate in the ’Decennial Martial Meet.’

Now, he had returned to Blade Sect within Blade and Sword Sect as an official disciple.

This time, he was one of the twenty young disciples of Blade and Sword Sect who entered the ’Secrets of Martial Emperor.’

"Who could have imagined... that the young man who made his first impressive showing years ago at the martial meet of the top five sects in Green Forest Royal Country, has now grown to such extents."

Kase sighed silently, feeling somewhat disheartened.

"Let’s go."

Seeing that the others’ gazes were still on him, Wyatt Barnes smiled faintly, called out to them, and then led the way down the stone stairs beside the platform.

As Wyatt moved, Winnie Romero quickly followed.

Behind them, Brady Yellow, Walter Simmons, and Brian Graham followed suit.

Immediately, the disciples of the Five Elements Sect and Blade and Sword Sect also followed one by one.

The disciples of the Five Elements Sect, led by ’Wyatt Barnes.’

The disciples of Blade and Sword Sect, led by ’Winnie Romero.’

Jaxx Nangle and Demetrius Nangle, two brothers, followed behind, looking at the leading man in purple robes, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

Once upon a time, the most dazzling young disciples of the Five Elements Sect were these two brothers.

But since Wyatt Barnes appeared, he had snatched away all the glory that was originally theirs.

"If we don’t strive harder... In this lifetime, we may never be able to surpass him," Demetrius Nangle lamented with a wry smile.

Although Wyatt had taken the glory that belonged to him, he harbored no resentment towards Wyatt.

Because Wyatt had taken his glory through his own strength, not by underhanded means.

Perhaps, he was defeated.

But he was utterly convinced by his defeat!

In his view, to reclaim glory meant to surpass Wyatt Barnes, and when that time came, the glory that belonged to him would naturally return.

"I will surpass him."

Jaxx Nangle’s words were still as few as ever, cherishing each word, yet his tone emitted an unwavering determination, his eyes shimmering with a compelling gleam.

Clearly, because of Wyatt’s meteoric rise, the Nangle brothers felt enormous pressure.

This pressure was something they had never encountered before.

At this moment, their ’Martial Dao Hearts’ were tempered to be even purer, driven by a common goal:

Surpass Wyatt Barnes!

"Between us brothers... whoever surpasses him first will be the big brother from then on! No objections, right?"

Demetrius Nangle looked at Jaxx, raising an eyebrow as he proposed a wager unique to twin brothers.

"Then you just wait to call me ’big brother’."

Jaxx Nangle’s expression was stern, coolly stating.

"We’ll see!"

Demetrius Nangle’s eyes flashed momentarily as he muttered.

He was aware that his strength was not equal to Jaxx Nangle’s.

The reason he had set up this "bet" with Jaxx Nangle was more to motivate himself to meet and even surpass Wyatt Barnes!

Without pressure, where would the motivation come from?

Wyatt Barnes naturally did not know what was happening between the Brother Nangle, and even less that they considered him a ’benchmark,’ setting their goals based on him.

"It’s getting darker."

Wyatt Barnes and Winnie Romero led the way, guiding a group of disciples from the Five Elements Sect and the Blade and Sword Sect down the stone steps.

Ahead, led by ’Sorrow’ of the Cloud Sky Temple, along with two disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect, their figures gradually disappeared from sight, leaving only darkness behind.

Suddenly, a fire arose, with Winnie Romero’s body erupting in flames, illuminating the surroundings.

However, the illuminated area was ultimately limited.

Yet, after the burst of flames from Winnie Romero’s body lit the surroundings, a similar flame arose among the members of the Cloud Sky Temple, evidently inspired by Winnie Romero.

Moments later, in front of the Cloud Sky Temple disciples and the two Sun and Moon Sect disciples, another group of flames rose.

There, it was the location of the Heartbreak Sect led by Flame Graham.

Now, with the Heartbreak Sect, Cloud Sky Temple, and Sun and Moon Sect leading the way, the disciples from the Five Elements Sect and Blade and Sword Sect couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, following them at an unhurried pace.

"How long is this stone stairway?"

An hour later, the stairway was ongoing, still not reaching the end, and Wyatt Barnes’ eyes couldn’t help but narrow in confusion.

"The Heartbreak Sect people turned a corner."

A disciple from the Five Elements Sect cried out in surprise, waking Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes looked up at the sound and saw the front group’s fire moving to the left. As for the specific situation, it was too far to see clearly.

Moments later, people from the Heartbreak Sect turned toward the left, within the sight-range of Wyatt and his group.

After a while, the Cloud Sky Temple disciples and the two Sun and Moon Sect disciples also turned left, following them.

Moving closer, through the rising flames emanating from Winnie Romero, Wyatt Barnes could see that the stairway had reached its end.

Of course, only the stairway in this direction had reached its end.

The stairway ahead suddenly turned, leading downwards to the left, forging a new unknown path.

"This stairway couldn’t be endless, could it?"

As Wyatt Barnes and his group turned left to continue downwards, Brady Yellow couldn’t help but frown, "We’ve been walking for over an hour now... Hey, they’ve picked up the pace!"

Before Brady could finish, he noticed the light from the Heartbreak Sect’s group ahead suddenly speeding up.

The Cloud Sky Temple’s light followed suit and accelerated.

"Keep up!"

Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow, calling out to the others as he sped up to follow.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

Immediately, the disciples from the Five Elements Sect and the Blade and Sword Sect followed one after another.

Above the ’grand gateway’ of the Martial Emperor’s secret treasure entrance, outside a layer of gray shield, top members of the six powers stood there, their gazes intently fixed on the gray shield, trying to see through it to the inside.

Ever since Wyatt Barnes was the first to pass through the gray shield and reach the platform, the gray shield had intensified, obscuring the view from the outside.

Therefore, since Wyatt’s entry, what had happened inside remained unknown to those outside.

"Sword Thirteen, Blade Five... I thought that Wyatt Barnes would join your ’Blade and Sword Sect’, but to think, he ended up joining the ’Five Elements Sect’ instead."

Vice Fort Master Yael Zafar of Grimm Wolf Fortress said with a mocking smile as he looked towards two middle-aged men not far off.

Hearing Yael Zafar’s words, Blade Five’s expression darkened as he angrily said, "Yael Zafar, do you still have the nerve to speak? If it weren’t for your Grimm Wolf Fortress meddling... would Wyatt Barnes have disappeared all of a sudden?"

Sword Thirteen’s face also looked very gloomy.

Yael Zafar’s words were undoubtedly rubbing salt into the wounds of the Blade and Sword Sect.

If it weren’t for Grimm Wolf Fortress intervening, trying to take Wyatt away, would the subsequent events have happened? Would Wyatt have disappeared?

"Hmph! You five listen... Once this group of youngsters comes out of the ’Martial Emperor’s secret treasure’, us two old men will need to make a trip to your Grimm Wolf Fortress to get some explanations from Gregory!"

At this moment, the ’Blade Sect Leader’ of the Blade and Sword Sect, with a cold snort, his sharp gaze sweeping across the five vice fort masters of Grimm Wolf Fortress.

"If Gregory can’t give us a satisfactory explanation... my old bones might not be able to sit still."

The Blade Sect Leader also said in a firm voice.

They had already known about the incident months ago.

But at that time, they did not take it seriously.

In their eyes back then, they saw no need to break ties with Grimm Wolf Fortress over a ’prospective Blade Sect disciple’ who had not even officially joined their sect.

But they never expected that the very ’prospective Blade Sect disciple’ they disregarded would possess talents and insights that astonished even them.

Not yet thirty years old, with just one punch, he had killed a nine-level warrior of the Cave Void Realm who had used a ’second-grade spiritual weapon’ and comprehended the ’nine layers of the Cave Void Realm understanding’!

Such a prodigy, with both talent and insights, was unprecedented in the history of the Blade and Sword Sect.
