Chapter 2923: Someone You Can’t Afford to Offend

The speed of the approaching person was extremely fast. At least when Wyatt Barnes noticed him, none of the people present, including the three Supreme Immortal Lords of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, had detected his arrival.

Although this person was incredibly fast, he was not hidden from Wyatt Barnes’ eyes.

Whoosh!

A moment later, like a gust of wind, a tall and robust figure appeared out of thin air beside Phoenix King.

It turned out to be a middle-aged man.

"Supreme Protector!"

"Supreme Protector!"

Sect Leader Milena Nangle and the First Protector Arlet Lynch of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect were the first to come back to their senses and hurriedly saluted the newcomer.

They were not surprised by his appearance.

After all, they had just made a move against Wyatt Barnes and had even used the two major sect-guarding Immortal Artifacts of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, so their actions couldn’t be more significant.

"Supreme Protector?"

"He... is the Supreme Protector?"

...

The disciples of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect present had more or less heard about the existence of a Supreme Protector, who was a man, but this was the first time they had seen this elusive Supreme Protector.

For a moment, their gazes all focused on this Supreme Protector.

"Supreme Protector!"

"Supreme Protector!"

...

A group of elders from the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect brightened up at the appearance of their Supreme Protector, Cason Patel.

Earlier, Milena Nangle and Arlet Lynch’s joint attack could not break through Wyatt Barnes’ defenses, which had plunged their hearts into despair.

Now that Cason Patel had arrived, it was as if they saw hope.

"Father!"

Phoenix King, who was imprisoned by Wyatt Barnes, burst into tears upon seeing her father arrive.

Although she was now a Supreme Immortal Lord and the Second Protector of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, in front of Cason Patel, she was merely a daughter.

A daughter suffering grievances, bearing quietly when the father is not present.

Now that her father had arrived, she couldn’t help but let it out.

"Feng’er!"

Seeing the tears in Phoenix King’s eyes, Cason Patel’s face turned very ugly, and then with a wave of his hand, torrents of Immortal Origin swept out and enveloped her.

Wherever Cason Patel’s Immortal Origin passed, the purple aura on Phoenix King’s body vanished as if it had never appeared.

Phoenix King regained her freedom.

Seeing Phoenix King’s bonds dissolved by Cason Patel, the people from the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect brightened with hope.

After all, the restraints that even Supreme Immortal Lords couldn’t break were undone by Cason Patel, which demonstrated that his power far surpassed that of the Supreme Immortal Lords.

Some even subconsciously believed that Cason Patel might be no weaker than Wyatt Barnes.

However, they did not know that when Cason Patel appeared, Wyatt Barnes had already withdrawn the power restraining Phoenix King.

Otherwise, even if Cason Patel intervened, he wouldn’t have been able to release Phoenix King from her restraints.

"Who are you?!"

Cason Patel asked the purple-clothed young man in front of him with a cold voice, his eyes sharp as electricity.

His tone was cold and arrogant, like a higher-up questioning a subordinate.

Although Wyatt Barnes had introduced himself earlier, Cason Patel had never seen him, so he didn’t associate the purple-clothed youth in front of him with the top alchemist of the Taiyi Immortal Sect in the Desolate Territory.

In his view, it was impossible for the chief alchemist of the Taiyi Immortal Sect to have such power.

Before he arrived, he had sensed the commotion and, with his Divine Sense, witnessed Milena Nangle and Arlet Lynch’s joint attack with King Grade Immortal Artifacts, failing to breach Wyatt Barnes’ defenses.

Cason Patel had detected the presence of the defense-type King Grade Immortal Artifact wielded by Wyatt Barnes.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the confidence to question Wyatt Barnes like this.

After all, if Wyatt Barnes could withstand the joint attack of Milena Nangle and Arlet Lynch with King Grade Immortal Artifacts without using his own,

then Cason Patel could be sure that Wyatt Barnes was at least a Semi-immortal King, or possibly an Immortal King!

In the presence of a Semi-immortal King or an Immortal King, a mere Ten Directions Immortal Lord like him wouldn’t dare to question or even to breathe loudly.

Wyatt Barnes had brought out that umbrella earlier because he wanted to conserve his Immortal Origin and avoid wasting it.

As for that umbrella, it was a defense-type King Grade Immortal Artifact he had acquired in a small world where he also found the Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact ’Mysterious Yin Nine Luster Ring’.

In that same expedition into that small world, apart from obtaining the Emperor Grade Immortal Artifact ’Mysterious Yin Nine Luster Ring’ that Dakari Patel asked him to help find,

he also acquired several other King Grade Immortal Artifacts.

One of those was the umbrella he had brought out earlier.

"Are you questioning me?"

Faced with Bellamy Lee’s inquiry, Wyatt Barnes’s expression suddenly darkened, and then a powerful force suddenly extended from his body, slamming towards Bellamy Lee, exactly his unreserved Immortal Origin Force.

At the same time, his Divine Sense also swept out, pressing on Bellamy Lee’s body.

The Immortal Origin Force at the level of a Six-Harmony Immortal King, the Divine Sense at the level of a Six-Harmony Immortal King, once swept out, immediately caused the void to vibrate, with ripples spreading out.

Swish!

As soon as Wyatt Barnes’s Divine Sense pressed on Bellamy Lee’s body, that terrifying targeted aura immediately changed Bellamy Lee’s complexion dramatically.

Even facing Wyatt Barnes’s aggressively incoming Immortal Origin Force, the Immortal Origin Force rising within his body hadn’t had time to break out before being completely destroyed by Wyatt Barnes’s Immortal Origin Force.

Boom!!

Accompanied by a loud noise, Bellamy Lee’s entire body was blown away, and during his flight, he spat blood profusely, as if it cost him nothing.

It wasn’t until he was blown several hundred meters away that Bellamy Lee’s figure barely stabilized.

"Even a One Origin Immortal King from the Joyous Zen Sect, ’Bellamy Lee,’ died at my hands... You, a mere Ten Directions Immortal Lord, dare to question me in such a posture?"

After knocking Bellamy Lee away and injuring him, Wyatt Barnes’s Divine Sense and Immortal Origin Force retreated quickly and returned just as swiftly, in the blink of an eye back into his body.

However, as he retracted his Divine Sense and Immortal Origin Force, Wyatt Barnes looked disdainfully and contemptuously at Bellamy Lee, who was several hundred meters away, and laughed coldly.

As Wyatt Barnes’s words fell, the entire scene suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Phoenix King, standing next to Bellamy Lee just moments before, although not targeted by Wyatt Barnes’s Divine Sense and Immortal Origin Force, still clearly sensed the terrifying aura emanating from them due to being so close.

That aura, even though not aimed at her, still suffocated her.

That aura had already transcended the level of an Immortal Lord.

Even the Divine Sense and Immortal Origin Force of a Semi-immortal King absolutely couldn’t exude such a terrifying aura!

"Did he hold back earlier?"

Within the Phoenix King’s mind, without any forewarning, this thought suddenly emerged.

Once this thought occurred, terror spread through her heart, and once it spread, it couldn’t be calmed for a long time.

"Bellamy Lee broke through to the level of an Immortal King? And... after breaking through, you killed him still?"

In the distance, Bellamy Lee, who had been forcefully wounded by Wyatt Barnes, hadn’t had time to reflect on the terrifying nature of Wyatt Barnes’s Divine Sense and Immortal Origin Force, yet heard Wyatt Barnes’s words, and his complexion drastically changed.

"I, Wyatt Barnes, am above lying... This matter will soon spread from the Crossing Region."

Wyatt Barnes said calmly.

As Wyatt Barnes spoke, Bellamy Lee recalled the Divine Sense and Immortal Origin Force previously upon him, believing Wyatt Barnes’s words a bit more.

After all, the strength Wyatt Barnes exhibited indeed far surpassed that of an ordinary Immortal King!

Even a One Origin Immortal King couldn’t certainly injure him this way by only using Divine Sense and Immortal Origin Force.

"Wait a minute..."

Suddenly, as if Bellamy Lee discovered something, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at Wyatt Barnes with horror and disbelief:

"You... you just said... your name is Wyatt Barnes?"

Now Bellamy Lee looked at Wyatt Barnes as if he’d seen a ghost.

Wyatt Barnes, isn’t he the chief alchemist of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect in the Desolate Territory?

"I, Wyatt Barnes, am Milana Harrington’s man... Today I came to Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect to challenge its Ten Directions Immortal Lord, Bellamy Lee!"

Faced with Bellamy Lee’s inquiry, Wyatt Barnes spoke calmly, repeating the words he’d said upon breaking into this Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s premises.

Same voice, same words.

In a moment, Bellamy Lee completely confirmed the identity of the purple-clad young man before him, precisely that chief alchemist of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect in the Desolate Territory, whom he previously hadn’t taken seriously!

"Alchemist Barnes..."

Though shocked by Wyatt Barnes’s formidable strength at his young age, Bellamy Lee couldn’t afford to be awed now.

Only because, from Wyatt Barnes’s words, it was clear he intended to challenge him!

If, previously, he hadn’t held Wyatt Barnes in regard, thinking Wyatt Barnes was utterly unqualified to fight him...

But now, he absolutely didn’t dare to fight Wyatt Barnes.

Who’s kidding!

A person who can injure him this way using only Immortal Origin Force—is he someone Bellamy Lee can contend with?

"Alchemist Barnes, is there some misunderstanding between us?"

Bellamy Lee looked at Wyatt Barnes and asked with a bitter smile.

The reason for asking this, of course, was because Wyatt Barnes chose to challenge him alone.

"There’s no misunderstanding between you and me... I challenge you simply to let your daughter know that her disciple, Milana Harrington, behind her stands me, Wyatt Barnes, whom neither she nor the entire Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect can afford to provoke!"

Wyatt Barnes, naturally realizing Bellamy Lee’s thoughts, opened his mouth calmly and again focused his gaze on the Phoenix King.

Wyatt Barnes looked at Phoenix King and continued speaking calmly:

"Today I’ve come to make you understand: should anything happen to Milana Harrington... I, Wyatt Barnes, will not only kill you but will also destroy the entire Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect!"
