CHAPTER 1702: CHAPTER 1702: MY CONDOLENCES, GRAND ELDER!

Even though Karina Hanson was already mentally prepared, her heart was still filled with shock after confirming the matter from her Brother Wyatt’s mouth.

Originally, she thought this matter was related to her Brother Wyatt, but never considered that it was her Brother Wyatt who acted himself.

But now, hearing her Brother Wyatt say that he acted personally?

How could she not feel shocked?

"Brother Wyatt, your strength..."

Karina looked at Wyatt Barnes woodenly, her face full of horror and disbelief.

Others may not understand Wyatt Barnes, but Karina knows best; although Wyatt has good talent, she subconsciously doesn’t believe he could kill Peace Adams.

Peace Adams, the Junior House Master of Sky-scraping Mansion, a year ago, was at the initial stage of the Middle Saint Realm.

After a year, with the resources tilted towards him from Sky-scraping Mansion, breaking through to the ’middle stage of Middle Saint Realm’ wasn’t out of reach.

And her Brother Wyatt, actually killed Peace Adams?

Doesn’t that mean her Brother Wyatt has strength above the middle stage of the Middle Saint Realm?

"My cultivation is only at the middle stage of the Little Saint Realm... but, because my True Origin is quite special, it allows me to fight across a major realm."

Wyatt Barnes smiled.

The middle stage of Little Saint Realm?

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Karina breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to a cultivation above the middle stage of the Middle Saint Realm, this cultivation was more acceptable.

However, when she realized and remembered the latter half of Wyatt’s sentence, she couldn’t help but cry out in surprise, "Cross...cross a major realm to fight?"

At this moment, Karina looked at Wyatt with eyes as if she had seen a ghost.

Is there truly such a True Origin in the world?

"Yes."

Wyatt nodded with a smile, "If not for this, I wouldn’t be a match for Peace Adams... However, Julia, I only told you about this matter. To Uncle Hanson, I said I asked a friend from a quasi third-rate power to act, and that friend is called ’Eden Lee’."

"If father knew it was you, Brother Wyatt, acting personally, he would definitely be stunned!"

Knowing Peace Adams was dead, Karina swept away the earlier gloom and seemed to return to her usual quirky self.

Seeing this, Wyatt was also quite pleased, as this was the outcome he desired.

Of course, saying ’outcome’ at this time is a bit premature.

"That Peace Adams won’t recover in two or three years... So, it doesn’t affect my plans to go to the quasi third-rate power, ’Mysterious Void House’."

Wyatt thought to himself.

That day, it was precisely because he learned about Mysterious Void House recruiting ’Saint Realm talents’ under the age of forty in a year that he postponed his plans with Donovan Tasker and Castiel Mullins and returned early to the Jade Wave Hanson House.

Mysterious Void House isn’t only an excellent ’springboard’ in his eyes, but he’s also quite curious about the ’Saint Martial Secret Realm’ they will open in a year.

But, despite planning to go to Mysterious Void House, Wyatt isn’t in a hurry.

"I’ll wait another month. If no one from Sky-scraping Mansion comes, I’ll take a trip back to Fletcher Kingdom to visit my senior brother and Uncle Romero... When I left, I didn’t say goodbye to Winnie; I don’t even know if she’s upset."

Murmuring to himself, Wyatt let out a bitter smile.

"By the way, Brother Wyatt, shortly after you left, Sister Winnie came looking for you."

As Wyatt was thinking of Winnie Romero and showing a bitter smile, Karina suddenly remembered something and timely spoke.

"Winnie? Came looking for me?"

Wyatt was also surprised upon hearing this.

"Yes."

Karina nodded, "Originally, I planned to keep Sister Winnie here at Jade Wave Hanson House to wait for you... But she didn’t wait long before leaving, because even I couldn’t be sure you’d return."

Speaking of this, Karina looked somewhat awkward.

"Winnie actually found Jade Wave Hanson House?"

Wyatt took a while to recover from his shock, meanwhile feeling deeply moved, "Winnie must have broken through to the ’Little Saint Realm’ since she left Floating Flame Sect... I wonder where she went after leaving Jade Wave Hanson House. No matter, when I get to that quasi third-rate power, ’Mysterious Void House,’ as long as I make the name ’Wyatt’ famous, Winnie will surely guess it’s me."

The Martial Dao Sacred Land, although just the ’Lower Domain,’ is still extraordinarily vast.

Thus, Wyatt can’t search for Winnie without any leads, as it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Nonetheless, although Winnie left the Fletcher Kingdom within Ridge South’s territory, Wyatt hasn’t given up on the thought of returning to Fletcher Kingdom.

There are many people he cares for there.

Not only his elders but also his senior brother and friends.

Of course, Wyatt has considered bringing Trevor Baillie, Taoi Romero, and others to Jade Wave Hanson House, but doing so would undoubtedly announce to everyone that Wyatt Barnes is connected to Jade Wave Hanson House.

At this moment, the name ’Wyatt Barnes’ has already spread throughout the entire Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.

In the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, except for a few ignorant people, almost everyone knows Wyatt Barnes.

Perhaps, Wyatt’s talent and strength have not garnered much attention, but the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ in his possession is a focus of interest for everyone in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.

The Demon Sealing Monument, one of the top ten super sacred artifacts on the Top Ten Sacred Artifact List, would even stir greed among those from quasi-third-rate powers.

Because of this, Wyatt Barnes found it inconvenient to reveal his true identity until he had enough power.

For the time being in the coming period, he went by the name ’Wyatt.’

It was also the name from his past life.

Wyatt Barnes easily guessed that the Fletcher Kingdom must now be under the watchful eyes of many, with his group of friends and relatives being the first targets.

If he were to bring them here now, it would certainly implicate Karina Hanson’s mansion, which was something he did not want to see.

Therefore, in his view, leaving them in the Fletcher Kingdom was undoubtedly the best choice.

After greeting Karina Hanson and asking her to say farewell to House Master ’Politi Hanson’ on his behalf, Wyatt Barnes left the Hanson Mansion location under Karina Hanson’s reluctant gaze.

As for Little Black, Little White, and Little Gold, they had not yet finished their seclusion, so Wyatt Barnes did not meet them either.

After leaving the Hanson Mansion, Wyatt Barnes headed straight towards the Anderson Manor region in Ridge South.

While Wyatt Barnes was returning to the Fletcher Kingdom, in the distant Sky-scraping Mansion region, the fourth-rate power ’Sky-scraping Mansion’ was also embroiled in a storm.

After the Overleaping Rankings competition ended, the Grand Elder of the Sky-scraping Mansion, ’Serene Adams,’ did not rush back. Instead, after notifying a Vice House Master of the Sky-scraping Mansion who was in a nearby city, the two led a team to conduct a carpet search with Jewel Valley at the center, searching for the whereabouts of Wyatt Barnes, who had used the alias ’Eden Lee.’

The Vice House Master, skilled in concealment methods, even boldly tailed Donovan Tasker and Castiel Mullins after the Overleaping Rankings competition, tracking them over a hundred miles west of Jewel Valley to the Transverse Mountain Range.

At the Transverse Mountain Range, he found that Donovan Tasker and Castiel Mullins both looked very displeased.

At that moment, even though he was a distance away, he could hear the discussions of people from the Sky-over Mansion and the Surge Mansion.

The content of their discussions was nothing other than cursing Eden Lee, saying Eden Lee had stood them up!

Seeing the angry departure of people from the Sky-over Mansion and the Surge Mansion, the Vice House Master of the Sky-scraping Mansion regrouped with the Grand Elder ’Serene Adams’ to continue searching in all directions.

Despite searching for many days, they still could not find any trace of Eden Lee.

At this point, Serene Adams could only return to the Sky-scraping Mansion location dispirited, knowing that he would surely face the wrath of the high-level leaders of the Sky-scraping Mansion.

That three disciples of the Sky-scraping Mansion, including his grandson, had died was already bad enough.

Among the three, his grandson was the most outstanding, and although his grandson’s death was also a significant blow to the Sky-scraping Mansion, because he was Serene Adams’ grandson, none of the high-level leaders would blame him; they would instead console him.

However, apart from the three disciples, including his grandson, someone else also died.

That person held extraordinary significance for the Sky-scraping Mansion!

Peace Adams was not only the Junior House Master of the Sky-scraping Mansion, but he also showcased extraordinary talent during the Overleaping Rankings, indicating that his future growth would undeniably make him a pillar of the Sky-scraping Mansion.

Leading the Sky-scraping Mansion to become a quasi-third-rate power was not out of the question.

"Now, the House Master must have already learned of the Junior House Master’s death through the shattered Soul Bead..."

Thinking of this, beads of cold sweat appeared on Serene Adams’ forehead.

Although this incident didn’t have much to do with him, as the leader this time, he could not escape the blame for failing to protect the younger disciples.

Though not to the point of being executed, he would definitely be punished by being made to meditate in solitude for years.

Therefore, as he walked into the Sky-scraping Mansion location, Serene Adams felt incredibly apprehensive.

His gaze occasionally shifted to the back.

There, a hunchbacked youth was carrying a corpse, which was none other than the Junior House Master of the Sky-scraping Mansion, ’Peace Adams.’

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Serene Adams seemed to have sensed something and abruptly stopped in his tracks.

At a glance, he saw that a group led by their House Master was approaching through the air, mighty and imposing.

This kind of display made his heart flutter with unease.

However, what happened next left him stunned.

"Grand Elder, my condolences!"

"Condolences, Grand Elder!"

...

As the House Master of the Sky-scraping Mansion and other high-level leaders appeared before Serene Adams, they each softly offered their condolences to him, clearly aware of the death of his grandson ’Shane Adams.’

In the Sky-scraping Mansion location, there was Shane Adams’ Soul Bead.

Therefore, when Shane Adams’ Soul Bead shattered, everyone in the Sky-scraping Mansion knew Shane Adams had died.

"Heaven truly envies the talented! If Shane Adams hadn’t met with misfortune, he could have been a formidable contender against the Junior House Master in the future... Becoming a future House Master was not impossible either."

Several high-level figures of the Sky-scraping Mansion sighed.

"You..."

Seeing the group before him, including their House Master, only mentioning the death of his grandson ’Shane Adams’ while not mentioning the Junior House Master ’Peace Adams’ at all, Serene Adams was taken aback and felt that something was amiss.

His grandson, though his past showcased talent comparable to Peace Adams, could not match the status of Junior House Master ’Peace Adams’ within the Sky-scraping Mansion.
