Chapter 978: Rey Jones’s Plan

Chapter 978: Chapter 978: Rey Jones’s Plan

"What did you say? Megan Coldring? You... you’re saying he is ’Megan Coldring’?!"

Recognizing the young man in black embedded on the wall, the Emerging Cloud Sect disciple had barely finished speaking when he made the pupils of the other two sect disciples shrink, with one of them suddenly asking in shock.

"Could you have mistaken someone else? Megan Coldring... how could Megan Coldring possibly be killed? Megan Coldring, even across the three major ’second-rate forces’ of our Northern Desert among the current generation of youths, ranks among the ’top six’!"

Another was also wearing a face of disbelief.

"I could not have recognized him wrongly... I had once met Megan Coldring in a brief encounter! He may not recognize me, but I certainly recognize him."

The Emerging Cloud Sect disciple who recognized ’Megan Coldring’ shook his head, speaking with certainty.

Seeing how certain this Emerging Cloud Sect disciple was, the one who doubted his recognition completely dismissed his suspicions, his eyebrows knitting together as he muttered, "The ones who entered ’Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure’ this time... probably only our sect’s ’Senior Brother Moore,’ and those two from the Impermanence Sect and North Nether Sect, might have the capability to kill him."

"That one from North Nether Sect and Megan Coldring are from the same sect, impossible for him to kill him... could it be Senior Brother Moore or that one from Impermanence Sect who killed Megan Coldring?"

As this Emerging Cloud Sect disciple spoke, his eyes flashed and he couldn’t help but speculate.

"It’s the only possibility... apart from Senior Brother Moore and that person from Impermanence Sect, I can’t think of anyone else who could’ve killed ’Megan Coldring’!"

The last Emerging Cloud Sect disciple agreed, "After all, even our sect’s second-strongest youth ’Ledger Leigh’ and the second-strongest youth from Impermanence Sect ’Rey Jones’, in this place where one can freely utilize ’Earth Force,’ are unlikely to match Megan Coldring who has mastered the ’Earth realm’!"

"Who would have thought that the second-strongest youth of North Nether Sect, ’Megan Coldring’, would die here," the disciple who recognized ’Megan Coldring’ couldn’t help but sigh, deeply feeling the fragility of life.

Meanwhile, Wyatt Barnes, who was headed towards the ’central area’ of the Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure alongside Brady Yellow, Walter Simmons, and Brian Graham, naturally did not know that two scapegoats were taking the blame for him.

"I wonder how Noel Walton is doing right now."

Brady Yellow, who was traveling with Wyatt and the others, frowned slightly, voicing his worry.

"Noel Walton?"

Hearing Brady Yellow’s words, Wyatt couldn’t help but sigh, then muttered, "He... is already dead."

"What?!"

Even though Wyatt’s voice was not loud, Brady still heard him, and his face couldn’t help but change dramatically, "Wyatt, are you... are you serious?"

"Yes."

Wyatt nodded, then recounted the incident of finding Noel Walton’s body and burying him, without holding anything back.

"Damn it!"

Brady’s face turned ashen, his eyes tinting crimson as he couldn’t help but clench his fist and rage, "If I ever find out who killed Noel Walton, I, Brady Yellow, will not let him get away with it!"

His friendship with Noel Walton was even stronger than the bond between Wyatt and Noel Walton.

When he first saw Noel Walton’s body, even Wyatt couldn’t help but become enraged, let alone the hot-tempered Brady, whose anger surged tremendously.

Wyatt shook his head and sighed.

He knew in his heart that finding out who killed Noel Walton was almost an impossible task!

Not to mention that they didn’t know if the killer was still alive; even if he was, unless the killer revealed it himself, there was no way they could find out who was responsible for Noel Walton’s death.

Wyatt and the others continued on their journey, drawing ever closer to the ’central area’ of the Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian!"

A few days later, just as Wyatt and his three companions had entered a spacious cave, they heard a voice from the other end of the cave, tinged with a hint of surprise.

Hearing the voice, Wyatt found it somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t recall where he had heard it before.

When he turned his head and saw one of the two young men approaching from a distance, his eyes couldn’t help but brighten, "Rey Jones!"

The person calling him was none other than the Impermanence Sect disciple ’Rey Jones,’ who he had once had a brief acquaintance with.

Initially, although it was just a one-time transaction with Rey Jones, the candidness inadvertently shown by Jones had won him genuine respect from the bottom of his heart.

"Hmm?"

Soon enough, the smile that had appeared on Wyatt’s face froze.

The reason was that, at this very moment, he noticed that the burly young man beside Rey Jones was staring at him intently.

In the depths of the burly young man’s eyes, there was plainly a hint of greed.

For a moment, Wyatt vaguely guessed some things; it seems that the burly young man had also heard the deliberately spread ’news’ by others trying to frame him.

The news that he had obtained a ’Mystery Fragment.’

Otherwise, there was no way the man would look at him with such eyes upon their first meeting!

Since the burly young man knew about it, Rey Jones must have known as well.

Wyatt’s gaze then shifted back to Rey Jones, intentionally focusing on the latter’s look when facing him, but he found that Jones’s eyes held no ill-intent.

"It seems, I did not misjudge him after all."

Wyatt’s mind stirred, silently thinking.

Rey Jones might have also heard about him obtaining the "Profound Mystery Fragment," but he didn’t develop any greed because of it, which is extremely rare.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, I really didn’t expect to meet you here... Who are these three?"

While greeting Wyatt Barnes, Rey Jones looked towards Brady Yellow, Walter Simmons, and Brian Graham who were standing beside Wyatt.

"They are my friends."

Wyatt responded with a slight smile.

Rey nodded, returned a friendly smile to the three friends, and showed no superiority despite being a disciple of the second-tier power ’Emerging Cloud Sect,’ which made Brady and his friends feel much more at ease.

"And who might this be?"

Wyatt’s gaze fell once again on the robust young man next to Rey, a flash of brilliance in his eyes as he inquired.

His recently extended mental force told him.

This brawny youth, like Rey Jones and a black-clothed youth Wyatt had eliminated not long ago, was all have ascended to the Third Level of the Transforming Void Realm!

"The ’Impermanence Sect’ truly is a place full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers... Besides Rey Jones, there is actually another disciple who is no less than Rey."

Wyatt couldn’t help but sigh internally.

Soon, Wyatt realized he had misunderstood.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, this is ’Ledger Leigh’ from the Emerging Cloud Sect, the second strongest among the young generation of our sect."

Rey introduced Ledger Leigh to Wyatt with a smile.

A disciple of the Emerging Cloud Sect?

Upon hearing Rey’s introduction of Ledger, Wyatt knew he’d guessed wrong; the brawny young man was not a disciple of the Impermanence Sect but of the Emerging Cloud Sect.

Seeing that Rey introduced Ledger to him, Wyatt, although not particularly interested in Ledger, still managed a polite smile for the sake of Rey’s face, as a form of greeting.

However, his smile quickly stiffened.

It was because in response to his beaming smile, Ledger completely ignored it, as if he hadn’t seen it at all.

This caused Wyatt to feel quite dissatisfied.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian!"

Just at that moment, a clear voice reached Wyatt’s ears—Rey had sent his voice to him using Origin Force.

"Hmm?"

Wyatt turned towards Rey, his face inevitably showing some confusion, completely unaware of why Rey would suddenly use Origin Force to speak to him.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, I heard you obtained a ’Profound Mystery Fragment’?"

The voice of Rey continued to reach Wyatt’s ears, now with a hint of urgency.

A Profound Mystery Fragment?!

Upon hearing Rey’s words, Wyatt furrowed his brows slightly. His first thought was that Rey also believed the rumor that framed him and developed greed for the ’Profound Mystery Fragment’ he held.

Soon, Wyatt realized he had misunderstood Rey.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, don’t get me wrong."

Seeing Wyatt frowning, Rey seemed to guess his thoughts and quickly explained using Origin Force, "I just wanted to know which kind of ’Profound Mystery Fragment’ you got... I happen to have a ’Level Eight Emperor Realm Thunder Profound Fragment’ in my possession, and nobody in the high ranks of our Impermanence Sect can use it."

"I was thinking, if the ’Profound Mystery Fragment’ in your hands can be used by the high ranks of our sect, maybe we could trade again."

Rey explained his intentions in one breath.

Trade?

Upon hearing Rey mention the ’Level Eight Emperor Realm Thunder Profound Fragment,’ Wyatt’s pupils shrunk involuntarily, his eyes filled with an intense desire.

When Rey finished speaking, Wyatt immediately became interested.

"In my possession, I currently have five ’Profound Mystery Fragments’... However, the ’Seventh-Order Emperor Realm Earth Mystique Fragment’ and ’Level Eight Emperor Realm Wind Profound Fragment’ definitely cannot be traded with him!"

Wyatt thought to himself, "That leaves the three Profound Mystery Fragments I originally received in the ’Emperor’s Treasure Vault’... those three fragments are all ’Third Order Emperor Realm Profound Mystery Fragments.’

"Perhaps, I can try to trade the ’Third Order Emperor Realm Wind Profound Fragment’ with him... as long as he is willing, I will obtain his ’Level Eight Emperor Realm Thunder Profound Fragment’!"

"At that time, the ’Third Order Emperor Realm Thunder Profound Fragment’ in my possession will be redundant, and I can hand it over to the sect."

In that moment, Wyatt thought of many things.

Coming to his senses, Wyatt looked at Rey and spoke using Origin Force, "I’m just afraid you won’t agree... The ’Profound Mystery Fragment’ I got is only a ’Third Order Emperor Realm Profound Mystery Fragment."

A Third Order Emperor Realm Profound Mystery Fragment?

As expected, upon hearing Wyatt’s words, Rey’s brows couldn’t help but furrow.

The gap between a ’Third Order Emperor Realm Profound Mystery Fragment’ and a ’Level Eight Emperor Realm Profound Mystery Fragment’ is quite significant for a Martial Emperor Realm martial artist.

However, for martial artists at the peak of the Void Realm seeking to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm using a ’Profound Mystery Fragment,’ the difference between the two fragments isn’t that great.
