Chapter 2919: Milana Harrington’s Predicament

Although Cain Iron knew that the Alchemist Barnes and the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect had some disagreements, he was unaware of how deep these ran.

That’s why he posed the question.

Additionally, although Cain Iron didn’t attend the Pill Tao conference with Wyatt Barnes last time, he had heard from Hunter Swayer, a Top-grade Alchemist from the Great One Immortal Sect, about the Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect sending someone to kill Wyatt Barnes.

However, according to Hunter Swayer’s words at that time, Wyatt Barnes seemingly had no intention to take revenge on the Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect.

Therefore, he was unclear about Wyatt Barnes’s specific purpose for coming to the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect this time.

"Let’s go directly in."

Hearing Cain Iron’s inquiry, Wyatt Barnes’s eyes flashed as Immortal Origin Force erupted from him, enveloping Leilany and Cain Iron.

The next moment, their figures vanished from their original place.

They reappeared in a vast area, lush and verdant, filled with bird songs and floral fragrances, resembling an earthly paradise.

In this expansive region stood towering peaks that reached into the clouds, like colossal giants, commanding a formidable presence.

"I, Wyatt Barnes, as Milana Harrington’s man... Today, I come to the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect to challenge the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s Immortal Lord, Quillen Autumn."

Just as Cain Iron was about to greet the members of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, Wyatt’s voice, as loud as thunder, echoed in his ears.

Hearing these words from Wyatt, Cain Iron was utterly dumbfounded.

Though he had heard before that their Alchemist Barnes of the Great One Immortal Sect had a deep connection with the genius disciple Milana Harrington of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect,

he hadn’t expected:

That the Alchemist Barnes’s purpose here was to challenge the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s Immortal Lord, Quillen Autumn, as Milana Harrington’s man!

As for why Wyatt Barnes acted this way, it wasn’t hard for him to deduce.

Milana Harrington’s master is the Second Protector of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, ’Phoenix King,’ known for her ruthlessness.

The reason Phoenix King is known for her ruthlessness is not only because of her fierce reputation but mainly because she once executed her own disciple.

This happened simply because her disciple had a man outside.

Simply because she wanted her disciple to become the next Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, but her disciple lost the opportunity due to having a man.

"It seems that Alchemist Barnes and Milana Harrington have consummated their relationship... and because of this, Milana Harrington lost the chance to become the next Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect."

"Alchemist Barnes fears that Milana Harrington might repeat the fate of her senior sister, so he plans to visit the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect to intimidate Phoenix King!"

"And if he defeats Phoenix King’s father, Immortal Lord Quillen Autumn, it would undoubtedly provide the greatest deterrent to her and the entire Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect!"

Amidst a flash of lightning and thunder, Cain Iron deduced many things.

"Brother Leandro..."

As Wyatt Barnes declared himself to be Milana Harrington’s man, Leilany, standing beside him, showed a timely hint of envy in her eyes.

This envy was, of course, directed towards Milana Harrington.

At this moment, Leilany, experiencing the stirrings of young love, harbored affections for Wyatt Barnes, but constrained by the distance maintained by Wyatt, her feelings were destined to remain unrequited.

Because of this, she was very disappointed.

"If only I could occupy a place in his heart like Sister Milana does, how wonderful it would be."

Leilany sighed inwardly, filled with a sense of loss in her eyes.

At the same time, Wyatt Barnes’s thunderous voice, imbued with powerful Immortal Origin Force, resounded throughout the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect:

"I, Wyatt Barnes, as Milana Harrington’s man... Today, I come to the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect to challenge the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s Immortal Lord, Quillen Autumn!"

When Wyatt Barnes’s voice spread throughout the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s premises, a dead silence fell.

From the high-ranking officials of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect to the ordinary disciples, everyone was shocked and astonished.

After a while, they gradually came back to their senses.

"Did you hear that voice? Am I... am I not dreaming?"

"You’re not dreaming; I heard it too... It was a man’s voice, and he claimed to be Senior Sister Milana’s man. More importantly, he declared he would challenge our sect’s Supreme Protector!"

"The Supreme Protector is the father of the Second Protector and the only man in the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect... Moreover, he is a powerful Immortal Lord. Isn’t this person courting death by challenging the Supreme Protector?"

"I’m quite curious... when did Senior Sister Milana have a man? She is supposed to inherit the position of our Sect Leader and can’t have romantic relationships!"

"I don’t know... Let’s go and see what’s going on."

"Who exactly is he? Could he be a madman?"

"I believe there’s a high chance he’s a madman... With Senior Sister Milana’s beauty, it’s not unusual for a man to go crazy over her."

...

Throughout the premises of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, most disciples felt that Wyatt Barnes was likely a man driven mad by his infatuation with Milana Harrington’s beauty.

This man might even be someone of average strength who only dared to challenge their sect’s Supreme Protector due to his madness.

At this moment, they overlooked a very important matter:

If that man was just an ordinary person in terms of strength, how could he have broken into their Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s residence?

How could he have the chance to utter such wild words under the noses of their patrol disciples from the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect?

Now, many disciples of Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect have already taken to the air, swiftly flying towards the place where the voice came from.

As they rushed over there, their eyes all showed a hint of sympathy, sympathizing with that man who overestimated himself.

Now, they seem to have already seen the scene where that man was casually killed by their sect’s elders.

"Wait... did that person say he’s Wyatt Barnes? Wyatt Barnes... why does that name sound a bit familiar?"

"Wyatt Barnes? Isn’t that the newly emerged genius alchemist from the Desolate Territory’s Taiyi Immortal Sect after the recent Pill Tao Conference?"

"Now that you mention it, I remember! Wyatt Barnes is indeed the chief alchemist of Desolate Territory’s Taiyi Immortal Sect, and also a top-grade alchemist under a hundred years old!"

"It’s said that although Alchemist Barnes is just a top-grade alchemist, his Pill Tao skills far surpass those of the Monarch Grade alchemist from Xuantian Immortal Sect."

"It seems that this visitor is truly a madman, not only crazily thinking that Sister Milana is his woman but also delusionally believing he is that genius alchemist from Desolate Territory’s Taiyi Immortal Sect!"

"Such behavior can already be regarded as desecrating Sister Milana, desecrating the Grand Protector... Today, he is bound to die without doubt!"

...

More and more disciples of Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect thought the owner of the voice was a madman, and at the same time, more and more disciples flew towards the source of the voice.

Joining a commotion is human nature.

Even these female disciples of Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect are no exception.

Moreover, as women, their nature to join a commotion is, to a certain extent, even greater than that of men.

"Where does this madman come from, daring to desecrate the Grand Protector!"

"This lunatic even delusionally thinks that Niece Milana Harrington is his woman? Ridiculous! Arrogant!"

"Additionally, he possibly even delusionally believes he is the head alchemist of the Desolate Territory’s Taiyi Immortal Sect that recently made a name in the Southeast Six Regions."

"Daring to desecrate the Grand Protector, I think he’s tired of living!"

...

In various places of Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, many elders took to the air, their faces full of anger.

"Wyatt Barnes?"

"This... it does sound like the voice of the head alchemist of Desolate Territory’s Taiyi Immortal Sect?"

Several top-grade alchemists from Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect who had previously gone to the Pill Tao Conference with the Sect Leader heard a familiarity in the voice, indeed recognizing it as Wyatt Barnes’ voice from Desolate Territory’s Taiyi Immortal Sect.

Also, at the previous Pill Tao Conference, they could tell from Wyatt Barnes’ attitude towards Milana Harrington that there was something unusual between them.

"This Alchemist Barnes dared to claim he wants to challenge the Grand Protector? Has he... gone mad?"

"I don’t know... let’s go and have a look."

...

Several top-grade alchemists from Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, upon recognizing Wyatt Barnes’ voice, also left their residences immediately.

"Wyatt Barnes?"

"Why is he here? Is he courting death?"

Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s First Protector ’Arlet Lynch’, who had also gone to the Pill Tao Conference with Sect Leader Milena Nangle back then, now recognized Wyatt Barnes’ voice as well.

After the last Pill Tao Conference, she learned from Milena Nangle about Wyatt Barnes and Milana Harrington’s matters.

Back then, like Milena Nangle, when she heard Wyatt Barnes claim he was a disciple of the prominent Crimson Heaven Barnes family from the center, they both thought Mercy Voyage Immortal Sect might be able to rise to greater heights because of it.

And the union between Wyatt Barnes and Milana Harrington was destined to become the immortal tale of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect.

In fact, after the Pill Tao Conference ended and they returned, she even went with Sect Leader Milena Nangle to persuade their sect’s Second Protector Phoenix King.

Phoenix King, after learning about the situation between Milana Harrington and Wyatt Barnes, naturally flew into a rage and wanted to kill Milana Harrington.

However, upon learning about Wyatt Barnes’ possible prominent family background, she hesitated and refrained from taking action temporarily.

And recently, news came from across the Crossing Region, saying the Joyous Zen Sect had investigated Wyatt Barnes’ background:

Wyatt Barnes did not actually have any prominent family background; he was merely an ascender with no real background.

After hearing this news, Phoenix King again wanted to take action and kill Milana Harrington.

However, she was stopped by Sect Leader Milena Nangle of Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect.

Milena Nangle’s exact words were:

Maybe the Joyous Zen Sect got it wrong?

Later, Phoenix King indeed imprisoned Milana Harrington but also began waiting for news from their own information network...

As long as it’s confirmed that Wyatt Barnes truly has no background, she intends to kill Milana Harrington!
