Chapter 2946: Not Worth Mentioning

"The power of the law..."

It must be said, the words of the chaos divine flame greatly broadened Wyatt Barnes’ knowledge, revealing to him the existence of the power of the law.

In the past, although Wyatt had some understanding of the immortal methods and divine abilities of various heavens, most of his understanding was of lower-grade ones.

Regarding those above king grade, he knew very little.

Now, the words of the chaos divine flame were like opening a door to a ’new world’ for him.

"Kid, you haven’t told me yet... where did you get this first form of the Tai Xuan divine metal in your hand? Is there anything else in the place where you discovered it?"

The voice of the chaos divine flame continued, interrupting Wyatt’s thoughts.

"It was given to me by the person in front of me."

Wyatt snapped back to reality, glanced faintly at the young man, Joaquin Cruz, and responded to the chaos divine flame.

"What?!"

The chaos divine flame was stunned, then couldn’t help but mock,

"Is this person dumb? Actually giving you the Tai Xuan divine metal? Although the first form of the Tai Xuan divine metal isn’t very useful, just finding another piece of the first form can prompt it to evolve into the second form."

"At that time, the second form of the Tai Xuan divine metal can completely serve as a soul defense immortal artifact!"

As the chaos divine flame continued, there was a sense of frustration, "This person really is a fool, actually giving such a treasure as the Tai Xuan divine metal away!"

"Even if the first form of the Tai Xuan divine metal is a treasure, someone must recognize it... otherwise, it is destined to be covered in dust."

Wyatt responded to the chaos divine flame, "The person in front of me only knows that even the Ten Direction Immortal Lords couldn’t leave a mark on it, only knowing it’s not an ordinary thing, but has no idea of its true value."

"You really have good luck, kid..."

The chaos divine flame sighed and then disappeared again, as if it had never appeared.

"Young Master Barnes..."

Seeing Wyatt Barnes continually examining the peculiar stone he had given him, Joaquin Cruz felt restless.

From the attitude of Emanuel Yellow, the Junior City Lord of Ducoin City, it seemed that if Wyatt wanted him dead, he wouldn’t survive!

"I’ll take this thing; our grudge is resolved here."

Wyatt casually put away the first form of the Tai Xuan divine metal, glancing at Joaquin lightly.

"Thank you, Young Master Barnes, thank you, Young Master Barnes."

Upon hearing Wyatt’s words, Joaquin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and after a farewell to Bradley and Maple Bell, he hurriedly turned and left.

Now, his heart was full of regret, regretting agreeing to Leroy Lee’s mercenary offer against Wyatt Barnes.

"I don’t know what that stone is, but even a Ten Direction Immortal Lord couldn’t leave a trace with a king-grade immortal artifact on it, so it’s clearly no ordinary object."

After leaving, Joaquin couldn’t help but feel a stabbing pain in his heart, silently praying that the object was of no use.

"Junior City Lord, thank you."

After Joaquin left, Wyatt glanced at Leroy Lee’s corpse on the ground, then turned to Emanuel, and sincerely thanked him.

If Emanuel hadn’t asked the elder by his side to intervene, Wyatt would have had to use that consumable emperor-grade immortal artifact once more.

The consumable emperor-grade immortal artifact could only be used three times in total, each use reduced it by one; if he had used it just now, there would be only one use left.

Therefore, the elder’s intervention saved him one use of the consumable emperor-grade immortal artifact, and he was deeply grateful.

"Brother Barnes jests... I could tell earlier: although Leroy wanted to act, Brother Barnes, you always had an indifferent expression, clearly not taking him seriously."

Emanuel shook his head with a smile, "If I’m not wrong, there must be someone hidden around you, protecting you, Brother Barnes?"

"I let Elder Maple intervene, but that’s just adding icing on the cake, nothing worth mentioning... Of course, I also felt that someone like Leroy doesn’t even qualify to make the predecessor behind you act, Brother Barnes."

As Emanuel spoke, he glanced around, with respect in his eyes, not daring to be careless, as if a powerful entity was truly hidden around.

Just now, Wyatt’s calmness and composure were clearly observed by Emanuel.

Because of this, he perceived Wyatt’s confidence, and naturally assumed it was because Wyatt had a powerful protector hidden nearby.

And that protector, even Elder Maple couldn’t detect, indicating it was at least a ’One Origin Immortal King’ level existence.

For Elder Maple was already a Ten Direction Immortal Lord.

Emanuel could never have dreamed:

Wyatt’s confidence wasn’t because of a hidden protector, but because he had a consumable emperor-grade immortal artifact that could grant him power comparable to an ordinary Immortal Sovereign.

"In any case, I owe the Junior City Lord this time."

Wyatt smiled faintly; he obviously saw that Emanuel had misunderstood but didn’t bother to explain further, as the consumable emperor-grade immortal artifact was secret.

Earlier, at the moment of taking out the consumable emperor-grade immortal artifact, he intentionally used his soul’s power to draw the aura of the second form of the Tai Xuan divine metal, covering the consumable emperor-grade immortal artifact.

Thus, even if a typical Immortal King hidden in the shadows used their divine sense to probe, the consumable emperor-grade immortal artifact in his hand wouldn’t be exposed.

He did this to guard against the Emperor of the Autumn Holding Kingdom.

The Emperor of the Autumn Holding Kingdom, as an Immortal King, could cover half the capital city of the Autumn Holding Kingdom with his divine sense if he wished.

And here, not far from the monarch’s palace of the Autumn Holding Kingdom, it has already entered the area enveloped by the divine sense of the emperor of Autumn Holding Kingdom.

"Brother Barnes, we might have to go see His Majesty."

Emanuel Yellow glanced at Leroy Lee’s corpse on the ground and transmitted to Wyatt Barnes, "This matter, His Majesty probably already sensed it through divine sense..."

"Though His Majesty might not have discovered it, it is best to inform him. Although this Leroy is Princess Consort Henson’s dear brother, we are in the right... Furthermore, with your value and my status, His Majesty absolutely will not make things difficult for us."

...

Autumn Holding Kingdom, the monarch’s palace.

Inner palace, Golden Throne Hall.

"This is..."

The emperor of Autumn Holding Kingdom, ’Cyrus Cruz’ sat on the dragon throne in the center of Golden Throne Hall, his brows slightly furrowed as he looked at the corpse on the ground, evidently unaware of what just happened.

"Your Majesty, look at his face."

Below, Emanuel Yellow raised his hand, and an invisible force flipped the corpse over.

Immediately, the face of the corpse was fully exposed before Cyrus Cruz.

"Leroy?!"

Seeing the face on the corpse, Cyrus Cruz’s expression changed instantly; wasn’t this his favored consort, ’Princess Consort Henson’s elder brother?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Just as Cyrus Cruz recognized the owner of the corpse, a series of anxious voices sounded from outside the Golden Throne Hall, followed by a dignified and exquisite matron rushing into the hall, escorted by several palace maids.

"Your Majesty, my brother’s soul bead shattered, you must help me find out..."

The matron held the shattered soul bead in her hand, shouting as she rushed into the Golden Throne Hall, her voice cutting off abruptly as she saw the corpse lying on the ground.

"Brother!"

After a moment of daze, the matron, none other than ’Princess Consort Henson’, her face drastically changed, rushing to the corpse’s side, weeping profusely.

Seeing the two youthful men by the corpse, Princess Consort Henson instantly knew how her brother died.

She also understood that, with her capabilities, seeking revenge for her brother was almost impossible!

Thus, no matter how much hatred she felt, she could only bury it deeply within her heart.

"Emanuel, what happened?"

Cyrus Cruz looked at Emanuel Yellow, his gaze sharp as electricity.

"Your Majesty, this Leroy..."

Facing Cyrus Cruz’s inquiry, Emanuel Yellow did not conceal anything, explaining in detail how Leroy conspired with others to kill Wyatt Barnes.

Of course, he also explained the reason Leroy wanted to kill Wyatt Barnes.

Additionally, he revealed that Leroy died at the hands of the elder companion.

"Wyatt Barnes... Brady Lee, did you kill him?"

Cyrus Cruz asked Wyatt Barnes with a serious tone.

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Why did you kill him?"

Cyrus Cruz inquired.

"I had no prior acquaintance with him, yet upon first sight, he demanded me to choose between two paths... Either to destroy my own face or die by his hand."

Wyatt Barnes casually asked, "If you were in my position, Your Majesty, what would you choose?"

"Outrageous!"

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Cyrus Cruz immediately lowered his head, angrily scolding... Of course, the scolding was aimed at Brady Lee, not Wyatt Barnes.

"Your Majesty..."

Simultaneously, Emanuel Yellow turned to Cyrus Cruz, transmitting, "The prowess of Brady Lee far surpassed that of the Immortal Lord beside Wyatt Barnes."

"Yet, before Elder Maple appeared, when Brady Lee attempted to strike, Wyatt Barnes remained calm, showing no fear, clearly having confidence..."

Emanuel Yellow stopped speaking at this point, knowing well that even without continuing, His Majesty Cyrus Cruz of the Autumn Holding Kingdom could surely infer his intended implication.

"Beside him, there seems to be a protector of Immortal King level or above... Moreover, he himself, not even a hundred years old, almost invincible under the Immortal Lord level, a true prodigy!"

"Furthermore, he emerged from the South Heaven’s Ancient Realm, and with his talent, the three sects and two clans will scramble to recruit him... At that time, no matter which sect or family he joins, I will gain significant benefits!"

"For the sake of avoiding offending any powerful entity possibly backing him, and for the benefits from the three sects and two clans... The death of Brady Lee and Leroy is utterly insignificant!"

As Cyrus Cruz’s thoughts quickly revolved, he swiftly reached a decision.
