Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2669: Arrival of the Prefect

"Sir, I only reported the death of our Nine Nether County County Governor’s Mansion’s inner elder ’Khaza Mullins’ to our Lord County Governor as a routine matter... This shouldn’t count as interfering in your matters with the Mullins Family, right?"

Seeing Wyatt Barnes eyeing him with a cold gaze, a hint of dread flashed in Nathanael Knight’s eyes, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"In any case... Elder Nathanael, have your Knight Family prepare a hundred thousand top-grade immortal stones for me within three days."

Wyatt Barnes said calmly.

In his words, he clearly determined that Nathanael had interfered in his matter with the Mullins Family, and thus wanted the Knight Family behind him to prepare a hundred thousand top-grade immortal stones for him, with a three-day deadline!

"Within three days, a hundred thousand top-grade immortal stones?"

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Nathanael Knight’s face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "You have quite the appetite! If my Knight Family doesn’t give you the stones, what will you do?"

"Then I’ll just have to come and collect them myself."

Wyatt Barnes continued to speak calmly, as if stating something insignificant.

"Hmph!"

Nathanael Knight snorted coldly and then glanced towards the distance, speaking in an icy tone: "Wanting my Knight Family to give you a hundred thousand top-grade immortal stones, you should first see if you can survive today!"

At this moment, Nathanael could clearly sense a powerful aura approaching from the direction of the Nine Nether County’s County Governor’s Mansion, and its speed was astonishing!

Even he could not match such speed.

He knew that it was their Lord County Governor coming!

Though he acknowledged his own inferior strength compared to this young man in purple, he could see:

This young man in purple, in terms of power, was unmatched below a Daai Law Golden Immortal, close to a Daai Law Golden Immortal, but not quite there.

Even among Daai Law Golden Immortals, there are different tiers.

Among them, the strength of a Yellow Realm Daai Law Golden Immortal is the weakest.

And their Lord County Governor of Nine Nether County is a ’Mystic Realm Daai Law Golden Immortal’ more powerful than a Yellow Realm Daai Law Golden Immortal, nearly approaching an ’Earth Realm Daai Law Golden Immortal.’ His strength is notable even among Earth Realm Daai Law Golden Immortals!

Therefore, in Nathanael Knight’s view:

As long as the Lord County Governor of their Governor’s Mansion arrived, this young man in purple would not be able to stir any trouble!

"There’s no need for Elder Nathanael to worry about that."

As Wyatt Barnes casually responded to Nathanael, his gaze also fell in the direction of the County Governor’s Mansion.

He too sensed a powerful and familiar aura.

"Lord County Governor!"

Felix Campbell, beneath their leader ’Cruz Mullins,’ along with his entourage, were all staring in the direction of the County Governor’s Mansion with respectful expressions.

Waiting devoutly, as if worshipping Buddha, for the arrival of the Nine Nether County’s Lord County Governor.

Moments later.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind blew through, causing the robes of those above the Mullins Family hall to flutter and flap loudly.

Along with the wind, a figure appeared before everyone’s eyes.

This seemingly sudden figure was a tall, middle-aged man wearing a silver robe embroidered with a silver dragon, with a square face, thick eyebrows, large eyes, exuding an aura of authority, someone clearly accustomed to a high position.

"Lord County Governor!"

"Lord County Governor!"

...

As soon as he appeared, members of the Mullins Family above the hall bowed respectfully.

Even Nathanael Knight slightly bowed in greeting at this moment.

"County Governor."

While others were saluting, Wyatt Barnes also focused his gaze on the middle-aged man, greeting him with a slight smile.

Wyatt Barnes’ demeanor was that of greeting an old acquaintance.

"He knows the Lord County Governor?"

Witnessing Wyatt Barnes casually greet the Lord County Governor, Nathanael Knight’s expression shifted slightly, shadows of ill premonition rising within him...

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

...

Simultaneously, including Cruz Mullins and Anders Mullins, the group from the Mullins Family noticed Wyatt Barnes greeting their Nine Nether County County Governor, and their expressions changed.

They also realized:

This young man in purple seems to know their Lord County Governor.

Moreover, judging by his casual manner while greeting, they seemed rather familiar.

"How is that possible? He... he can’t possibly know the Lord County Governor; impossible! Impossible!!"

Anders Mullins shook his head, unwilling to accept it, yet his eyes, once filled with hope, dimmed considerably.

Originally, seeing the arrival of the Nine Nether County Governor, he thought he might escape the calamity.

But now it seemed, perhaps not.

"Lord County Governor!"

Anders Mullins’ mother, the woman by his side from the Knight Family, ’Kathryn Knight,’ immediately stepped forward, pointing at Wyatt Barnes with indignation, "He was the one who killed Elder Khaza Mullins!"

"Elder Khaza Mullins is the inner elder of the County Governor’s Mansion... He openly killed Elder Khaza Mullins, which is tantamount to declaring war on the County Governor’s Mansion!"

"Lord County Governor... You must avenge Elder Khaza Mullins. You must not condone him!"

Kathryn Knight spoke urgently and then deliberately put on a sad and angry expression.

"Hmm?"

When Wyatt Barnes greeted the Nine Nether County Governor ’Tian Ji Yu’, Tian Ji Yu noticed him and was about to return the greeting when Kathryn Knight spoke first, bluntly claiming that Wyatt Barnes had killed their County Governor’s Mansion’s inner elder ’Khaza Mullins’!

Wyatt Barnes, killed Khaza Mullins?

What a joke!

If Wyatt Barnes truly had that capability, he could easily claim ’first place’ in the martial arts competition held by King Cooper’s Mansion in a year, and earn three middle-grade Immortal Pills ’Daai Law Pill’ for their Nine Nether County.

"Absurd!"

As Kathryn Knight’s words fell, Tian Ji Yu glared at her and coldly rebuked, "Wyatt Barnes is currently under a hundred years old... You say he can kill Elder Khaza Mullins, whose cultivation had long reached the level of a ’Purple Sun Golden Immortal’?"

"Do you really take me, Tian Ji Yu, for a fool?"

As he spoke, Tian Ji Yu’s gaze towards Kathryn Knight turned exceedingly cold.

Making Kathryn Knight feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her face turned pale and her body trembled violently in fear.

As Tian Ji Yu’s words fell, the entire place fell into a deathly silence.

Wyatt Barnes?

Under a hundred years old?

’Wyatt Barnes’ was a name familiar to everyone present.

Wyatt Barnes came from ’Bloodshade City,’ one of the nine cities under the Nine Nether County’s dominion. Two years ago, when he arrived at the County City, he overwhelmingly injured the former number one young powerhouse under a hundred years old in Nine Nether County, ’Felix Campbell,’ in the hidden dragon pit of the County Governor’s Mansion.

After that battle, all of Felix Campbell’s ’aura’ transferred to Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes rose to fame, becoming the most celebrated young powerhouse in Nine Nether County!

"County... Lord County Governor... Are you sure? He... He is Wyatt Barnes?"

Nathanael Knight looked incredulously at Tian Ji Yu as he asked, temporarily forgetting to sense the aura emanating from Wyatt Barnes’ flesh.

Because as long as he intended to sense it, he could easily determine Wyatt Barnes’ specific age through his flesh aura.

"Of course, there is no mistake."

Tian Ji Yu spoke calmly.

Then, Tian Ji Yu couldn’t help but frown slightly and asked, "Elder Nathanael Knight, why are you here? You are unharmed, but Elder Khaza Mullins is dead... What is going on?"

As the question continued, Tian Ji Yu’s face turned slightly gloomy.

"He... He is actually under a hundred years old!"

"Oh my! I didn’t specifically sense the aura from his flesh earlier... Now, with a slight sense, he is indeed under a hundred years old!"

"He... Is he really the most celebrated young powerhouse ’Wyatt Barnes’ in our Nine Nether County over the past two years?"

"If he is really Wyatt Barnes... This Wyatt Barnes is too terrifying, isn’t he? Under a hundred years old, his strength surpasses the universally recognized number one under Daai Law Golden Immortal in our Nine Nether County, ’Elder Nathanael Knight’?"

"Earlier, Elder Nathanael Knight also conceded... his strength is inferior to Wyatt Barnes!"

...

Just as Tian Ji Yu confronted Nathanael Knight, his face grew increasingly gloomy, a chorus of exclamations from a group of Mullins Family elders timely reached his ears, causing him to stand stunned, rooted in place.

These people said Elder Nathanael Knight’s strength is inferior to Wyatt Barnes?

"How... how is this possible?!"

"Within the Nine Nether County, Elder Nathanael Knight’s strength is only beneath mine and recently deceased County Governor’s Mansion’s number one sacrifical officer ’Tony Campbell’... He is also universally recognized as our Nine Nether County’s number one beneath Daai Law Golden Immortal!"

"His strength is inferior to Wyatt Barnes?"

Tian Ji Yu found it unbelievable as he looked at Nathanael Knight, shock and uncertainty flickering in his eyes.

Seeing Tian Ji Yu’s current gaze, Nathanael Knight knew what Tian Ji Yu was thinking, so he bitterly nodded and straightforwardly stated:

"Lord County Governor, my strength is indeed inferior to Wyatt Barnes!"

Earlier, Nathanael Knight specifically sensed Wyatt Barnes’ flesh aura and confirmed Wyatt Barnes was under a hundred years old, confirming Wyatt Barnes’ identity.

For a moment, his heart was engulfed in turbulent waves.

A person under a hundred years old, with strength surpassing his own?

"So, Elder Khaza Mullins was indeed killed by Wyatt Barnes?"

Tian Ji Yu’s eyes flashed, as he asked.

"Yes."

Nathanael Knight nodded, then added, "In this matter, my word alone is empty and baseless... But everyone present can testify."

After hearing the words nearby, Tian Ji Yu’s gaze promptly fell upon Wyatt Barnes.

He smiled slightly, and cordially asked Wyatt Barnes, "Wyatt Barnes... Was Elder Khaza Mullins killed by you?"

"Yes."

Since Khaza Mullins had already been killed, Wyatt Barnes naturally would not deny it.

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes admit it, the smile on Tian Ji Yu’s face froze instantly...
