Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2631: Divine Ruin Lands, Summer Family’s Second Master!

As Wyatt Barnes and Ares Cooper continued to follow Christian Clark on their way to Nine Nether County’s County City.

In Divine Ruin Lands, at the Cloud Family.

"Young Master."

A dust-covered figure quickly appeared in front of the Cloud family’s eldest young master ’Rocky Cloud,’ bowing respectfully.

But if you look closely, it’s evident that:

This person’s face was extremely unpleasant.

If Wyatt Barnes were here, he would undoubtedly recognize immediately that the one respectfully saluting Rocky Cloud was none other than ’Wilder Cloud,’ whose power nearly matched that of a Heavenly Emperor of All-Heavens Realm, and almost killed him in the Yan Huang Realm.

Back then, Wilder Cloud went to kill Wyatt Barnes on Rocky Cloud’s orders, but failed due to the interference of Ernest Summer from the Summer family, causing him to escape awkwardly from the Yan Huang Realm back to Divine Ruin Lands.

"What? Is there something?"

Seeing Wilder Cloud’s complexion, Rocky Cloud’s brows furrowed.

He knew that Wilder Cloud would never look like this unless something had happened.

"Young Master, I just heard from the people of the Summer family... Miss Scarlett secretly went to the ’dimension battlefield’ without informing the Summer family head!"

Wilder Cloud said in a deep voice.

"What?!"

Almost as soon as Wilder Cloud’s words fell, Rocky Cloud’s expression changed dramatically. Looking at Wilder Cloud again, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, "Are you sure that the news you heard... is true?"

"I specifically sought confirmation from several members of the Summer family; this news is indeed true."

Wilder Cloud said with a bitter smile, "Moreover, the Summer family head is also in the dimension battlefield. He probably doesn’t know that Miss Scarlett has entered the battlefield yet... After all, the dimension battlefield is large, with many entrances. Even if Miss Scarlett goes in, he wouldn’t be able to find her."

"Hasn’t her strength yet to recover? With her current ability, even if she enters the corner where the weak gather in the dimension battlefield, it’s still a dangerous zone... Why did she enter there?"

Rocky Cloud said gloomily.

"Miss Scarlett, being the eldest young lady of the Summer family, with the status of a thousand gold... with her current strength entering the dimension battlefield, there can be only one goal: She wants to quickly recover her previous life’s power, or even enhance her previous life’s strength."

Wilder Cloud speculated.

Upon hearing Wilder Cloud’s words, Rocky Cloud’s face became increasingly somber.

He naturally knew that Wilder Cloud’s speculation was likely correct.

Scarlett Summer entered the dimension battlefield disregarding the danger for one reason most likely: to enhance her power rapidly so that in a thousand years, she would possess enough strength to dissolve the ’marriage contract’ with him!

"Just to avoid marrying me, for that man... you willingly risk a perilous situation to enter the dimension battlefield? Do I, Rocky Cloud, really mean so little to you?"

Rocky Cloud nearly growled in a hushed voice:

"A thousand years later, the spatial path between Divine Ruin Lands and All-Heavens Realm will open again... By then, I will definitely visit the All-Heavens Realm, drag through Wyatt Barnes, and tear him to pieces, to shatter your hopes!"

As he growled, Rocky Cloud’s eyes shone with sharp rays like blades or swords.

Around these sharp rays, flames of hatred seemed to burn fiercely, like a prairie fire that could destroy everything!

At the same time.

In the Summer family.

"Third Brother... was it you who sent Scarlett into the ’dimension battlefield’?"

A tall and burly middle-aged man, like an iron tower, with a full face of bristles, hurriedly found the unkempt third master of the Summer family ’Ernest Summer,’ glaring like an angry lion and asked sternly.

"Second Brother, what are you talking about? I don’t understand."

Facing the middle-aged man’s near-questioning inquiry, Ernest Summer just glanced at him indifferently and continued to busy himself with his work, watering the flowers.

"If it wasn’t you... no one in the family would have dared to send her into the dimension battlefield! With her current power, she couldn’t possibly enter the dimension battlefield alone!"

The middle-aged man, who was indeed the second master of the Summer family, ’Summer Iron,’ looked at Ernest Summer and spoke again, his face growing increasingly grim.

"Second Brother, without evidence, it’s best not to speak out of turn... Even if Big Brother were here today, I’d still say this: I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

Ernest Summer remarked casually, seemingly indifferent to his Second Brother.

"Ernest Summer!!"

Summer Iron glared at Ernest Summer, coldly shouting, "I know that incident from years ago made you harbor great hatred towards me and Big Brother... But I’m asking about Scarlett right now, and you needn’t bring back that old hatred into this discussion!"

"Besides, I dare say, back then when we did that, it was for your own good!"

"If that woman didn’t die... you’d be the one to die!"

"What we did was to protect you!"

As Summer Iron continued speaking, his tone increasingly turned bitter.

"To protect me?"

Ernest Summer lifted his head abruptly, revealing his face beneath the mess of hair, smirking sarcastically, "From my view, all you protected was the Summer family, correct? I said before... for her, I’d willingly leave the Summer family, to avoid implicating the family."

"But what did you do? You engineered my absence, allowing them to take her, to kill her!"

"You must realize why I still live... weren’t it for the resolve to avenge her, I wouldn’t be alive now!"

As he continued speaking, Ernest Summer’s face became increasingly filled with sarcasm.

"Alright, let’s not bring up the past... I came to find you mainly to tell you that you’re too impulsive! What kind of place is that battlefield? With Scarlett’s current strength, entering it would almost certainly be a matter of life and death!"

"If something happens to her... you will be the indirect cause of her death!"

Summer Iron said in a deep voice, "Aren’t you usually very fond of her? Why are you so muddle-headed this time, sending her there?"

As he continued speaking, Summer Iron’s face, which had originally calmed somewhat, once again showed anger.

"I’m muddle-headed?"

Ernest Summer sneered, "You and I both know... the most muddle-headed person is still our big brother! Scarlett has already found her place in life and even given birth to a daughter. But big brother still wants her to marry that kid from the Cloud Family!"

"Do family interests truly outweigh his daughter’s happiness?"

Ernest Summer looked coldly at Summer Iron, questioning sharply.

"That’s right! I’m the one who sent that girl Scarlett to the battlefield... My happiness has already been ruined by you, by the Summer Family. I do not want my niece’s happiness to be ruined by you, by the Summer Family as well!"

Ernest Summer openly admitted his actions as he spoke again.

"Moreover, I promised Scarlett. If she encounters any problems in the battlefield... a thousand years later, I will safely escort her daughter and her close friends back to the mundane plane!"

Ernest Summer continued to speak, using a decisive tone.

After saying this, he vanished from Summer Iron’s sight in a flash.

"If by that time, you and big brother try to stop me from fulfilling Scarlett’s ’last wish’, it will be the end of our brotherhood! You may choose to keep them, but you must also kill me, Ernest Summer, by trampling over my corpse!"

Though Ernest Summer had left, he still left these words with Summer Iron.

Upon hearing this, Summer Iron’s body began trembling violently with rage, and his face, covered in bristled beard, became contorted, taking a long time to gradually calm down.

At the same time, his large eyes, deep like bronze gongs, showed deep helplessness.

"If big brother learns of this matter... he will probably fly into a rage again, won’t he?"

Summer Iron shook his head, smiling bitterly.

...

The matters between the Cloud Family and Summer Family in the Divine Ruin Lands were unknown to Wyatt Barnes.

Now, he was moving alongside Ares Cooper, following Christian Clark towards Nine Nether County City’s location.

"Not a single pill medicine..."

While checking through the storage rings of the twenty-odd Golden Immortal-level marauders he had collected earlier, Wyatt Barnes found:

There was not a single pill medicine in these marauders’ storage rings.

"It seems the ’lower-grade Spirit Essence Pill’ given to me by the City Lord really is very precious."

This further emphasized the preciousness of the bottle of pill medicine given to Wyatt Barnes by Bloodshade City’s City Lord Manuel Willow.

"However... although their storage rings contained no pill medicine, there were plenty of immortal stones. Even the top-grade immortal stones amounted to over a hundred pieces, while medium-grade immortal stones were even more abundant, and lower-grade immortal stones were countless."

"There are also some Immortal Artifacts..."

Each of the twenty-odd storage rings contained at least one or two Immortal Artifacts.

The original owners of these storage rings, those over twenty marauders, were killed by Wyatt Barnes in an instant, without even having time to retrieve their own Immortal Artifacts.

"Wyatt Barnes... are you really, as the Army of Silver Sea Dragon says, an ’ascender’ who ascended to Spiritual Heaven half a year ago?"

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes heard a voice transmitted to him.

The one transmitting the voice wasn’t anyone else but ’Ares Cooper’.

Hearing Ares Cooper’s inquiry transmitted through sound, Wyatt Barnes was momentarily stunned. He then turned to look at Ares Cooper, transmitting back a question: "Do you believe it?"

"The words of the Army of Silver Sea Dragon, I am unsure whether to believe... But what you say, I believe!"

Ares Cooper transmitted his voice.

He made it very clear.

As long as Wyatt Barnes himself said he was an ascender who ascended to Spiritual Heaven half a year ago, he believed it.

If Wyatt Barnes denied it, he also believed it.

"Does this... matter?"

Wyatt Barnes transmitted again to Ares Cooper while deeply glancing at him, asking.

It’s not that he intended to hide.

If it were before, he wouldn’t have thought there was anything to hide, but after interacting with Bloodshade City’s City Lord ’Manuel Willow’, he understood:

If this matter spreads, it would only bring harm to him, not benefit.

In Bloodshade City, almost no one can threaten him.

But by the time they reach Nine Nether County City, arriving at the Nine Nether County Governor’s Mansion, things would be different.
