Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 982: The Central Palace

Chapter 982: Chapter 982: The Central Palace

Before long, three figures emerged from the middle tunnel on the left side of the cave and appeared in front of Wyatt Barnes.

It was Brady Yellow, Walter Simmons, and Brian Graham.

"How did it go?"

Seeing them, Wyatt’s eyes lit up as he asked with a face full of anticipation.

The three shook their heads.

"It’s a ’maze’ with no way out on that side... We’ve walked through every corner inside and haven’t found a second exit," Brady Yellow said with a wry smile.

Clearly, they had encountered the same situation as Wyatt.

"It seems we can only wait for Rey Jones now," Wyatt said somewhat disappointedly, nodding his head. "If the path Rey Jones took doesn’t lead to the ’central area’ either... then we’ll have to split up and explore the remaining three tunnels."

As he spoke, Wyatt looked at the three unexplored tunnels on both sides of the cave; up to now, they had no knowledge of what lay within them.

One hour passed by swiftly.

"Why hasn’t Rey Jones come back yet?" Brady Yellow, Walter Simmons, and Brian Graham couldn’t help but frown.

"He’s here!"

Wyatt’s gaze sharpened as he stared at the innermost tunnel on the right side of the cave. With his keen hearing, he could clearly make out the sound of a swift gust of wind emanating from within.

The sound of the wind grew nearer!

Whoosh!

Soon, a whirlwind of dust arose outside the tunnel entrance.

Following that, a familiar figure darted out from within the tunnel and appeared in front of the four men—it was ’Rey Jones.’

"That way leads to the ’central area,’" Rey Jones said with a smile to the group as soon as he appeared.

At these words, Wyatt and the others immediately brightened up.

Without delay, the five set off again, entering through the tunnel on the right side and continuing towards the Martial Emperor’s secret ’central area.’

As time went on, they drew closer and closer to the ’central area.’

Meanwhile, in different directions of the Martial Emperor’s secret treasure, several others were also approaching the central area of the treasure.

Two days later.

"Have we arrived?"

Gazing at the vast empty tunnel in the distance, Wyatt slowed his swift pace and soon reached the tunnel entrance.

Standing at the entrance, what appeared before Wyatt was not another of the countless ’caves’ they had seen before.

In front of them was a cave of immense space and breadth, revealing a whole new world from bottom to top.

The entrance where Wyatt stood was merely a small hole on the side of the enormous cave wall, high above the ground, and similar small holes were countless on the walls surrounding the enormous cave.

However, Wyatt had no time to concern himself with these details at the moment.

His gaze immediately settled on the central area of the enormous cave.

There stood a palace, a towering palace.

The exterior of the palace seemed resplendent and magnificent, standing there like a slumbering beast, its aura formidable and intimidating.

"Is this palace what the Martial Emperor mentioned in his message? The place where he peacefully passed away?" Rey Jones, who had caught up, stood beside Wyatt, marveling at the towering palace within the vast cave.

"Is the Martial Emperor’s ’corpse’ inside this palace?" Brady Yellow also caught up, his eyes gleaming as he stared at the palace, his breathing becoming unintentionally more rapid.

According to the Martial Emperor’s message, his corpse contained three ’Martial Intent fragments,’ one of which was an ’Emperor Realm Martial Intent fragment,’ and the other two were ’Emperor Realm Martial Intent fragments.’

Let alone the two ’Emperor Realm Martial Intent fragments.’

Just the one ’Emperor Realm Martial Intent fragment’ was enough to drive everyone mad!

Although Walter Simmons and Brian Graham did not speak, the fiery look in their eyes as they gazed at the palace ahead made their thoughts clear.

The palace within the vast cave stood like a colossus, emitting an old and weathered breath on its own.

It was as if it were narrating its long history to those who had come here.

"There are people over there," Walter Simmons, with his sharp eyes, quickly noticed three figures standing aloft in the void on the other side of the palace.

These three people had clearly arrived here before them.

Since the palace mentioned in the Martial Emperor’s message had appeared, there was no doubt that this was the destination of their journey,

the ’central area’ of the Martial Emperor’s secret treasure.

"Brother Camden!"

Almost as soon as Walter Simmons finished speaking, a soft call from Rey Jones reached the ears of Wyatt and the others.

Following Rey Jones’ gaze towards the distance, they immediately saw a green figure in the air—a young man dressed in green.

Originally, the green-clad young man stood quietly, with his eyes closed in meditation.

But when Wyatt and his companions’ gazes converged, he seemed to sense them, opening his eyes as if alerted, and his sharp gaze immediately focused on Wyatt and the others.

"Let’s go! I want to introduce you to senior Camden."

At the same time, Wyatt Barnes and his three companions were summoned by Rey Jones to fly out, and in a moment they arrived near the young man in green.

"Senior Camden."

When greeting the young man in green, Rey Jones’s tone revealed a trace of reverence, a reverence that stemmed from the depths of his heart.

"Brother Jones."

The young man in green nodded at Rey Jones. As for Wyatt Barnes and his three companions, he did not pay them much attention; although he did not look down on them, his aloofness was apparent.

To this, Wyatt Barnes and his companions did not find it surprising.

"It seems that this person is the ’Camden Taylor’ whom Rey Jones mentioned to us before."

At this moment, Brady Yellow’s voice of Origin Force clearly transmitted into the ears of Wyatt Barnes, Walter Simmons, and Brian Graham, secretly conversing with the three of them.

"It must be."

Walter Simmons and Brian Graham both nodded.

"Camden Taylor!"

Wyatt Barnes raised his eyebrows; it was as if he could once again hear some of the words Rey Jones had spoken to them on their way here.

"Among the current generation of young disciples in the Impermanence Sect, my strength is only ’second’."

"The number one powerhouse among the young disciples of our generation in the Impermanence Sect is my ’senior Camden’. His full name is ’Camden Taylor,’ the only personal disciple of the most senior elder of our sect!"

"Our Impermanence Sect’s most senior elder is the only ’Martial Emperor’ in our sect!"

Camden Taylor.

The number one amongst the young generation of the Impermanence Sect.

The personal disciple of a Martial Emperor.

Either of these ’titles’ would be enough to astonish anyone.

Combined, they made Camden Taylor the most dazzling ’pearl’ of the Impermanence Sect.

Seeing that Camden Taylor did not give Wyatt Barnes and the other two a proper glance from beginning to end, Rey Jones couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed and gave an apologetic smile to the three of them.

Wyatt Barnes and the others returned the smile, indicating they did not mind.

If the person before them truly was ’Camden Taylor,’ he was fully entitled to his pride.

"Senior Camden, these are my friends... This is Wyatt Barnes, this is Brady Yellow, this is Walter Simmons, and this is Brian Graham."

Rey Jones introduced Wyatt Barnes and the others to Camden Taylor.

And when he mentioned ’Wyatt Barnes,’ the aloof Camden Taylor immediately turned his attention to Wyatt Barnes, not listening to a word of what Rey Jones said afterward.

"You’re ’Wyatt Barnes’?"

Camden Taylor gazed at Wyatt Barnes, and even in his pride, he could not help but reveal a bit of greed in his eyes, "The disciple from that Third-Rate Power ’Five Elements Sect’?"

Indeed, I am that Wyatt Barnes."

Seeing the ’greed’ that flickered in Camden Taylor’s eyes, Wyatt Barnes almost instantly surmised...

This Camden Taylor must have heard about the news of him getting the ’Mystic Fragment’!

Perceiving the tension between Wyatt Barnes and Camden Taylor, Rey Jones’s expression changed.

Although Brady Yellow, Walter Simmons, and Brian Graham knew that even if they joined forces, they were not a match for Camden Taylor, they still firmly stood behind Wyatt Barnes, eyeing Camden Taylor with hostility.

A gleam flashed in Camden Taylor’s eyes.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he turned to glance at the two young men standing apart at a distance.

When he noticed that their gaze occasionally fell in his direction, he ultimately did not act and refrained from making a move against Wyatt Barnes.

He knew very well that if those two became aware of Wyatt Barnes’s identity, even with his strength, it would be difficult to obtain the ’Mystic Fragment’ in Wyatt Barnes’s possession.

"Hmm?"

Camden Taylor’s subtle actions were fully observed by Wyatt Barnes, prompting Wyatt Barnes also to glance towards the two young men in the distance.

Of the two young men, one was tall and burly, almost the same build as Brady Yellow; the other was clad in green and carried a sheathed spirit sword on his back, clearly a sword cultivator.

Driven by curiosity, Wyatt Barnes extended his spiritual power towards the two men.

Quickly, Wyatt Barnes’s pupils constricted, a look of shock appearing on his face, and he came to a sudden realization, "So it is... It looks like they are the number one young disciples of their generation from the ’Emerging Cloud Sect’ and the ’North Nether Sect’ respectively!"

After probing the two men’s cultivation levels, Wyatt Barnes could assert this fact.

Their cultivation was no less than Camden Taylor’s!

And the fleeting ’worry’ in Camden Taylor’s eyes after looking at them was also caught by Wyatt Barnes.

Thus, the intentions of Camden Taylor were not hard for Wyatt Barnes to guess.

"Brother Barnes!"

Just at that moment, a delightful and familiar voice, clear as a songbird, reached Wyatt Barnes’s ears.

For an instant, Wyatt Barnes’s gaze fixed on the source of the voice.

There, a figure like a sprite born of fire sped forth, heading straight for him.

"Winnie!"

Seeing the newcomer, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but show a gentle smile, as he moved to meet her in midair.

The sprite-like figure was none other than ’Winnie Romero’!

All along the way, Wyatt Barnes had been deeply concerned for Winnie Romero’s safety.

Now, seeing that Winnie Romero was unharmed, the stone that had been weighing on his heart fell away, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
