Chapter 2648: He Can Only Rely on Himself
"Lord City Lord, if this is true... doesn’t it mean Wyatt Barnes is in danger?"
Hearing Manuel Willow’s words, Elder Hayden couldn’t help but take a deep breath and said with a look of dread, "Otherwise... Lord City Lord, why don’t you use the ’Immortal Talisman’ to inform him about this matter?"
"If he receives your transmission, he can mentally prepare in advance and find a way to deal with the threat from Tony Campbell."
Elder Hayden said.
"Elder Hayden."
Hearing Elder Hayden’s words, Manuel Willow sighed, "What you said, I’ve thought about it too... but do you think the Immortal Talisman I send can safely reach the County City?"
"Unless I have an Immortal Talisman inscribed by someone at the Daai Law Golden Immortal level or above, the hope of reaching the County City is very slim, let alone reaching the County Governor’s Mansion and getting into Wyatt Barnes’ hands."
The Immortal Talisman is a talisman that can be used to transmit messages.
However, Immortal Talismans are also divided into various ranks, with higher-ranked immortals able to inscribe talismans that not only transmit information faster but also prevent others from intercepting the transmitted information.
For example, take Manuel Willow.
Manuel Willow is a ’Blue Sun Golden Immortal’. Although he has Immortal Talismans, they are all inscribed by himself.
The Immortal Talismans he inscribes can be intercepted by anyone above the Blue Sun Golden Immortal level, as long as they have the intention.
And from Bloodshade City to the County City of Nine Nether County, it’s so far away that the talisman he sends is likely to be intercepted halfway, making it unlikely to reach the County City of Nine Nether County and the County Governor’s Mansion.
To ensure an Immortal Talisman successfully delivers a message from Bloodshade City to the County City, it should at least be inscribed by a Daai Law Golden Immortal.
Because only talismans inscribed by a Daai Law Golden Immortal can only be intercepted by someone of that level or higher during transmission.
Just like when Felix Campbell had his limbs severed by Wyatt Barnes, the Immortal Talisman he used to send information to his foster father, Tony Campbell, was inscribed personally by his foster father, Tony Campbell, a dignified ’Earth Rank Daai Law Golden Immortal’.
"Moreover, even if I have an Immortal Talisman inscribed by a Daai Law Golden Immortal... do you think, now that Tony Campbell knows Wyatt Barnes’ ’background’, he would still let me contact Wyatt Barnes with an Immortal Talisman?"
"I can almost conclude: even if either you or I personally go to the County City of Nine Nether County, to the County Governor’s Mansion, it would be difficult to see Wyatt Barnes!"
At this, Manuel Willow paused before continuing:
"So, whether Wyatt Barnes can escape this calamity, we can’t help at all... everything depends on him."
Manuel Willow said.
Hearing Manuel Willow’s words, Elder Hayden also fell silent for a moment.
Thinking about it carefully, it indeed seems to be the case.
After Elder Hayden withdrew, the tension on Manuel Willow’s face collapsed in an instant, as he sighed deeply, "Wyatt Barnes, I hope you can escape this disaster... otherwise, I fear I will never have the chance to take revenge on Tony Campbell in this life."
Manuel Willow could imagine:
Once something happens to Wyatt Barnes, that Tony Campbell will definitely not spare him.
After all, Tony Campbell does not wish for another Wyatt Barnes to appear.
In the past, as long as he stayed honest in Bloodshade City, Tony Campbell felt no threat and was too lazy to trouble him, considering the face of the County Governor of Nine Nether County.
But this time, Bloodshade City produced a Wyatt Barnes.
The most important thing is that before Wyatt Barnes went to the County Governor’s Mansion, while still in Bloodshade City, he treated Wyatt so well, providing him with the best training environment and resources...
As long as Tony Campbell isn’t a fool, he could sense the threat hidden within.
Once Tony Campbell removes the hidden threat of Wyatt Barnes, to prevent another such threat from arising in Bloodshade City, he will definitely not let him continue living in this world.
Now, he is almost certain:
Once something happens to Wyatt Barnes, he too will be undoubtedly dead!
"Lord City Lord."
Accompanied by an old and aging voice, it was the head of the Golden Serpent Guards, ’Elder Hayden’, who returned and timely said to Manuel Willow:
"A year ago, news came from the County Governor’s Mansion... that King Cooper’s mansion will hold the ’Sixteen Counties Martial Meet’, and in this meet, the counties of those who rank in the top three will receive a Top-grade Immortal Pill, ’Daai Law Pill’."
"Moreover, just because of this, even when Wyatt Barnes violated the rules set by Lord County Governor for Dragon Abyss, Lord County Governor spared no effort to shield him, even ordering inner house elder Christian Clark to take the blame just to protect Wyatt Barnes."
"This also shows... Lord County Governor values Wyatt Barnes greatly, and has pinned the hope of obtaining the Top-grade Immortal Pill ’Daai Law Pill’ entirely on Wyatt Barnes."
"You and I both know... it’s been years since Lord County Governor’s cultivation has encountered a ’bottleneck’, with no progress. So, this time, he is determined to obtain the Daai Law Pill!"
"Under these circumstances, for the sake of the Daai Law Pill, for the Sixteen Counties Martial Meet, he will definitely protect Wyatt Barnes."
Elder Hayden paused here for a moment, then continued:
"Lord City Lord... why don’t you tell Lord County Governor everything about Wyatt Barnes’ ’background’ in detail? So that Lord County Governor can protect Wyatt Barnes, preventing him from falling victim to Tony Campbell’s persecution."
Elder Hayden finished speaking in one breath.
"I’ve thought about the things you mentioned too."
Manuel Willow sighed, "It’s just that you’ve oversimplified the matter..."
"Not to mention whether Tony Campbell would allow us to contact Lord County Governor. Even if we did, do you think the Lord County Governor wouldn’t be another Tony Campbell? After all, the allure of Earth Rank Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities is much greater than a Top-grade Immortal Pill ’Daai Law Pill.’"
Manuel Willow said.
Hearing Manuel Willow’s words, Elder Hayden couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "What I thought was ultimately not as thorough as you, City Lord... I should have realized earlier that you wouldn’t overlook the possibility of having Lord County Governor protect Wyatt Barnes."
"It seems that, this time, we indeed can only rely on Wyatt Barnes himself."
In the end, Elder Hayden couldn’t help but sigh.
Wyatt Barnes was unaware of everything happening in Bloodshade City.
At this moment, he was still in seclusion, training.
Since he obtained that bottle of lower grade Immortal Pill ’Hidden Pill’ from the Nine Nether County County Governor, he had immersed himself entirely in cultivation. After each breakthrough, he continued to cultivate, pursuing the next level of breakthrough.
And the medicinal power of a bottle of lower grade Immortal Pill ’Hidden Pill’ was continuously being absorbed by him.
While cultivating, he completely lost track of time.
Even when encountering some ’bottlenecks’ during his training, which slowed his cultivation speed, he didn’t stop. He continued to operate the Earth Rank method ’Crystal Clear Profound Secret,’ combining Immortal Origin with the power of the Hidden Pill and Spirit Essence Pill, running through one Great Cycle after another.
Of course, during this process, the training environment Wyatt found himself in and the top-grade immortal stones he held greatly aided him.
"There’s only one Hidden Pill left... I hope the medicinal power of this final Hidden Pill can help me break through the ’bottleneck,’ and advance to the next level of cultivation!"
In the deepest cultivation stone chamber in Hidden Dragon Abyss, Wyatt raised his hand, and the bottle of the last lower grade Immortal Pill ’Hidden Pill’ fell into his hand, which he then swallowed.
A strong medicinal power spread through his throat, instantly permeating his entire body.
"Spirit Essence Pill!"
Immediately following, Wyatt took another lower grade Immortal Pill ’Spirit Essence Pill,’ "Just as the power of the previous Spirit Essence Pill is almost depleted... now, with another Spirit Essence Pill, combining the power of the Hidden Pill, let’s try to break this ’bottleneck’ in one swoop!"
After consuming the pill, Wyatt calmed his mind and once again devoted himself fully to cultivating, focusing solely on the thought of cultivation, free of distractions.
Unbeknownst to Wyatt:
In the County Governor’s Mansion, someone was waiting for him to finish his seclusion, and had been waiting for several months with a lot of patience.
"Damn it! That Wyatt Barnes still hasn’t come out of seclusion... he’s just a ’Heavenly Immortal.’ No matter how good the cultivation environment is or how many resources he has, he should hit a ’bottleneck’ eventually and come out for some fresh air, take a break, right? It’s been almost a year and a half, and he still hasn’t finished his seclusion!"
Deep within Hidden Dragon Abyss, in the second-to-last cultivation stone chamber, Felix Campbell, just back from outside, had an unpleasant expression.
It had been several months since he and his foster father Tony Campbell returned from Bloodshade City.
During these months, they had been waiting for Wyatt to end his seclusion.
After all, they couldn’t directly act against Wyatt Barnes within Hidden Dragon Abyss. Doing so would undoubtedly alert the Lord County Governor of the Nine Nether County, and whether they could seize Wyatt Barnes’s Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities then would be uncertain.
As the saying goes, ’old ginger is spicier,’ Tony Campbell patiently waited for Wyatt Barnes to leave seclusion.
Felix Campbell, however, having waited for several months, was gradually losing patience.
But even if he lost patience, he could only wait honestly, exiting his stone chamber every so often to check for any signs of activity in the chamber below.
Two months later.
Boom!!
Rumble!!
...
Suddenly, loud noises erupted from the deepest stone chamber in Hidden Dragon Abyss, as though a massive explosion had occurred inside, creating a huge commotion.
Even the nearby stone chamber above felt a distinct tremor.
Though the tremor was only felt in this stone chamber.
Further up, the stone chambers felt no tremor.
Hidden Dragon Abyss was constructed under the personal supervision of the Nine Nether County Governor, boasting quality beyond typical buildings.
"This noise... it’s coming from the stone chamber where Wyatt Barnes is!"
Deep within Hidden Dragon Abyss, in the second-to-last stone chamber, Felix Campbell, who had been previously sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of excitement.
After half a year, Wyatt Barnes finally made a move!
