CHAPTER 1707: CHAPTER 1707: BLOOD-STAINED DEEP PALACE

"This is how it is," Taoi Romero sighed, then recounted the story piece by piece, "After you left, not only did the eyes of the Fletcher Kingdom’s Imperial Family fall upon us, but even the strong men sent by the foreign forces also targeted us... After all, we were the only ones they knew who were associated with you, the one possessing the ’Demon Sealing Monument.’"

"However, after we took the Thunder Punishment Oath and said we didn’t know your whereabouts, they didn’t trouble us... Perhaps, in their view, if even one of us were killed, the news would spread and frighten you, causing you to hide more secretly."

Taoi Romero continued.

Wyatt Barnes nodded, he had already guessed this, and it was also the reason he left a group of friends and family behind when he left.

As long as he wasn’t exposed, as long as he wasn’t found, his friends and family wouldn’t be in trouble, because, apart from knowing him and his origins, they didn’t know where he went.

"But what about Senior Brother? How did he end up in the palace?"

Wyatt Barnes frowned even more deeply, he couldn’t understand what the Fletcher Kingdom’s Imperial Family wanted to do.

"A while ago, Master Baillie broke through to the ’Little Saint Realm’, and shortly afterward, became a ’Four-Star Saint Markings Master’... This was undoubtedly a joyous occasion for the Swayer Family, after all, Master Baillie was their Honorary Minister. However, not long after the news spread, the Fletcher Kingdom’s Imperial Family sent someone to take Master Baillie away."

Enzo Hawkins’ eyes flashed coldly as he said, "At the time, the people who came from the Imperial Family were extremely arrogant. After Master Baillie refused to enter the palace to become the exclusive Saint Markings Master for the Imperial Family, they forcibly took Master Baillie away... The Family Head Swayer and his son tried to stop them repeatedly, but to no avail. Like us, they could only watch helplessly as Master Baillie was taken away."

"However, you can’t blame the Family Head Swayer and his son for this,"

Enzo Hawkins added, looking at Wyatt Barnes as if deeply afraid that Wyatt Barnes would blame the Family Head Swayer and his son.

"Tell me exactly what happened at that time,"

Wyatt Barnes said gravely.

Then, with the indignant narrative of Handmi Holland and Demetrius Nangle, Wyatt Barnes came to understand the whole story.

Three months ago, Trevor Baillie broke through to the ’Little Saint Realm’ and became a ’Four-Star Saint Markings Master.’

Two months ago, people from the Fletcher Kingdom’s Imperial Family came, led by an Elder at the peak of the Little Saint Realm level, who came to the Swayer Family with extreme arrogance, and ignored Trevor Baillie’s objections, having him captured.

The Family Head Swayer and his son tried to stop them but were injured by him.

"If you two weren’t related to the royal family, you would’ve been killed just now!"

That was what the person said to the Family Head Swayer and his son as he took Trevor Baillie away.

"How arrogant!"

Wyatt Barnes’ eyes flashed fiercely, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, exuding a chilling atmosphere.

A mere peak of Little Saint Realm, do they really think they are invincible?

"I know Senior Brother’s character well, even if the Fletcher Kingdom’s Imperial Family forced him repeatedly, it would be useless... Now, it’s been two months, the Fletcher Kingdom’s Imperial Family still hasn’t released him?"

Wyatt Barnes asked gravely.

Just as the words left his mouth, Wyatt Barnes noticed that Taoi Romero and the others hesitated to speak, and suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, urgently asking, "Could something have happened to Senior Brother?"

Instantly, a terrifying killing intent emanated from Wyatt Barnes.

The killing intent spread, making even Taoi Romero and others feel chills running down their spines, and they could especially sense Wyatt Barnes’ anger at that moment.

"Wyatt Barnes, according to the rumors from the palace... the Fletcher Kingdom’s Imperial Family is still torturing Master Baillie, forcing him to become their exclusive ’Four-Star Saint Markings Master.’ Master Baillie has not agreed, and thus it has dragged on until now. Though Master Baillie’s cultivation has entered the ’Little Saint Realm’, he is, after all, of mortal flesh, and I’ve heard he’s nearly at his limit."

Demetrius Nangle said, face full of grief and indignation.

"Senior Brother!"

As soon as Demetrius Nangle finished speaking, Wyatt Barnes’ body trembled, his eyes turning bloodshot, and the killing intent spreading from him grew stronger. Gritting his teeth, he said word by word, "Fletch! Er! King! Dom! Im! Per! Ial! Fam! Ly!"

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes’ anger was immeasurable, already on the verge of rampaging.

At this point, Handmi Holland looked at Wyatt Barnes, his expression solemn as he said, "Wyatt Barnes, even though I know it’s hard to stay calm, I must urge you to do so... In fact, Uncle Romero has already sought help from the ’Sect Leader Amelia Tyler’ of the Floating Flame Sect. Initially, Sect Leader Amelia Tyler also said that the strongest in the Fletcher Kingdom’s Imperial Family had strength equal to her and would likely give her face."

"But who would’ve thought? After you left, a ’Middle Saint Stage Pinnacle expert’ arrived in the capital of Fletcher Kingdom, coming for the Demon Sealing Monument in your possession. Later, he was made an honored guest by the Imperial Family... Sect Leader Amelia Tyler wanted to help rescue Master Baillie, but she was severely injured by him."

As he finished, Handmi Holland’s face was full of anger.

"Middle Saint Stage Pinnacle?"

Wyatt Barnes sneered.

Although he had only killed one Middle Saint Stage Pinnacle demon cultivator, and that demon cultivator had just broken through to the Middle Saint Stage Pinnacle.

However, in the battle with that demon cultivator, he didn’t rely on external forces at all.

If he used the ’Demon Sealing Monument,’ he could have killed him instantly!

Even without the Demon Sealing Monument, just with the ’Splendid Fairy Sword’, he could instantly kill him with a single blow!

With his current cultivation, infusing the Solar essence into the Splendid Fairy Sword, even a general Great Saint Realm expert could be slain by him.

However, upon hearing that the Sect Leader Amelia Tyler of the Floating Flame Sect was injured because of her senior brother, Wyatt Barnes was quite moved. After all, he had no ties to Sect Leader Amelia Tyler, and her assistance was because of Winnie’s influence.

"Once this matter is settled, I’ll go to the Floating Flame Sect to thank Sect Leader Amelia Tyler, and check if Winnie has returned."

With this thought in mind, Wyatt had made his decision.

"Do not tell anyone about my return, including the Family Head Swayer and his son... As for my senior brother, he will definitely return to the Swayer Family today. In the future, even the Imperial Family of Fletcher Kingdom will not dare to easily touch you!"

Facing Taoi Romero and others who looked anxiously at him, Wyatt felt warmth in his heart and spoke with certainty.

As soon as he finished speaking, his entire being disappeared as if into thin air in front of Taoi Romero and the others, leaving them dumbfounded and unprepared.

It took a while before they came to their senses.

"What does Wyatt mean by his last words? Could he really rescue Master Baillie?"

Demetrius Nangle asked in disbelief.

"Impossible! The Imperial Family of Fletcher Kingdom is strong, with several Middle Saint Realm experts guarding it... Moreover, now there is an additional pinnacle Middle Saint Realm expert from an outside force. Trying to rescue Master Baillie from the Imperial Family of Fletcher Kingdom is like snatching food from a tiger’s mouth! Even though Wyatt’s cultivation has improved considerably recently, it’s impossible for him to threaten Middle Saint Realm experts, isn’t it?"

Handmi Holland shook his head, not believing that Wyatt had the ability to rescue someone from the Imperial Family of Fletcher Kingdom.

"Perhaps he can think of another plan or find other strong experts for help."

Jaxx Nangle rarely spoke up and commented.

"No matter what, since he said so, we should just wait for news... From the past until now, he has never done anything he wasn’t confident about. This time should be no exception."

Though Taoi Romero was also greatly shocked and found it unbelievable, whenever he thought of Wyatt’s past, his subconscious felt that he should trust Wyatt.

Hearing Taoi Romero’s words, everyone suddenly realized.

Yes.

Wyatt has never let them down.

His life’s trajectory was like a ’heavenly script’.

Especially Enzo Hawkins, who knew Wyatt’s origin best.

Once upon a time, Wyatt was just a child with a different surname from a family’s secluded town on the mortal continent, but later on, he became someone who stood at the pinnacle of the Cloud Skies Continent.

And now, as he reaches the Martial Dao Sacred Land, he continues to soar, as if nothing could become his obstacle.

Because of this, Enzo Hawkins also has great confidence in Wyatt.

As for Fill Bear and Kamari Gold, although they couldn’t stay by Wyatt’s side as before due to the difference in strength, as people who used to be with Wyatt, they had unconditional trust in their Young Master and master.

If he says he can rescue Master Baillie, then he surely can save him!

No matter what Taoi Romero and others thought, Wyatt left the Swayer Family mansion and went straight to the royal palace of Fletcher Kingdom.

The royal palace of Fletcher Kingdom was also the residence of the imperial family of Fletcher Kingdom.

Now, Wyatt used a stealth technique to change his face again, reverting to that ordinary face that would be lost in a crowd.

With his current strength, entering the royal palace of Fletcher Kingdom was like entering a no-man’s land.

Soon, he found the secluded palace prison holding Trevor Baillie and saw Trevor Baillie.

"Senior brother!"

Even though Wyatt was prepared, when he saw Trevor Baillie covered with wounds and blood, hanging on a torture rack, his heart couldn’t help but tremble, his eyes glowing red.

"Who?!"

Wyatt appeared like a ghost, so much so that even those watching Trevor Baillie hadn’t noticed him. It was only when he suddenly called out Trevor Baillie’s name that the imperial family members monitoring him were alarmed.

For those who heard him call Trevor Baillie ’senior brother’, Wyatt naturally did not show mercy.

Among these people, there was even just one martial artist of the Little Saint Realm.

To kill them was as easy for the current Wyatt as killing chickens and cutting grass.

In no time, all those monitoring Trevor Baillie were lying on the ground, completely silent.

With Wyatt’s current power, even without external assistance, he could match the pinnacle of the Middle Saint Realm, dealing with those whose strongest was merely in the middle of the Little Saint Realm was extremely simple.
