CHAPTER 1951: CHAPTER 1951: THE FIRE WORSHIP SECT’S "UNSPOKEN RULES

Finally, the time of ten breaths passed.

The two Spirit Pearls in Wyatt Barnes’s hands began to flicker with a cyan radiance, as if declaring something to the people around him.

"It’s really a ’Cyan Ling Root’!"

Yale Wade’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Before this, he didn’t believe at all that Wyatt Barnes had a ’Cyan Ling Root’.

Because there had long been news from the Black Tortoise that Wyatt’s talent root was only a ’Yellow Ling Root’.

However, the scene before him made it undeniable!

"Cyan Ling Root!"

Seeing the ’reaction’ of the two Spirit Pearls in Wyatt’s hands, Abraham Clifford was momentarily stunned.

After snapping out of it, he silently cursed the Copper Flame Elder from the Black Tortoise who tested Wyatt Barnes’s ling root, actually testing a Martial Dao genius with a ’Cyan Ling Root’ as a mediocre talent with a ’Yellow Ling Root’!

This was not only harming a Martial Dao genius but also pushing a Martial Dao genius outside of the Fire Worship Sect!

"Wyatt Barnes... why not just become my apprentice and come to the Vermilion Bird Altar, how about it?"

When Yale Wade looked at Wyatt again, his small eyes narrowed, shining with a hopeful gleam, and the fat on his face stretched out to reveal what he thought was a gentle smile.

At this moment, he seemed to have completely forgotten the previous unpleasantness between him and Wyatt.

As soon as he spoke, he wanted Wyatt Barnes to acknowledge him as his teacher!

A Martial Dao genius with a ’Cyan Ling Root’ has always been someone the Elder Silver Flames in the Fire Worship Sect would scramble to take as a disciple.

As a Silver Flame Elder of the Vermilion Bird Altar, Yale Wade was no exception.

"You don’t have anything good at the Black Tortoise... you’ve already offended that vindictive Maximus Lee, staying in the Black Tortoise is just adding trouble for yourself! As long as you’re willing to acknowledge me as your teacher, I’ll immediately request our Vermilion Bird Altar’s leader to negotiate with your Black Tortoise leader to bring you over from the Black Tortoise!"

Towards the end, Yale Wade’s tone became more urgent.

Just as Wyatt Barnes was feeling a bit troubled and was about to refuse.

"Nonsense!"

Abraham Clifford immediately looked at Yale Wade and scolded, "Wyatt Barnes is a Martial Dao genius of our Black Tortoise, and you’re just poaching him in front of me, Abraham Clifford? Do you think I’m a ’dead man’?"

"Abraham, you can’t say that!"

Hearing Abraham’s words, Yale Wade was also a bit unhappy, and with a stern face said: "Right now, who in the Four Symbols Altar doesn’t know Wyatt Barnes’s situation in your Black Tortoise?"

"If Wyatt Barnes continues to stay at your Black Tortoise, who knows when Maximus Lee might kill him... you know Maximus Lee’s means. He’s a guy who’ll stop at nothing to achieve his goals!"

"In the past, in his eyes, Wyatt Barnes was only a ’Yellow Ling Root’ mediocre talent, handling him slowly didn’t matter... But if he finds out Wyatt has a ’Cyan Ling Root’, he’ll definitely do whatever it takes to deal with Wyatt!"

This is one of the main reasons Abraham Clifford created a flame domain to block the outside crowd’s view.

If Maximus Lee finds out Wyatt Barnes has a ’Cyan Ling Root’, this Martial Dao genius might perish at Maximus Lee’s hands.

"So, I think it’s best for Wyatt Barnes to come to the Vermilion Bird Altar... Staying in the Black Tortoise is too dangerous! After all, Maximus Lee will eventually find out about his ’Cyan Ling Root’."

Yale Wade finished speaking in one breath.

Hearing Yale Wade’s words, Abraham Clifford’s expression changed drastically.

"Elder Abraham, I know you also want to take Wyatt Barnes as a personal disciple. But the reason you haven’t spoken is because you don’t think you can protect Wyatt Barnes from Maximus Lee! Let it go, let Wyatt Barnes come to our Vermilion Bird Altar... Maximus Lee wouldn’t dare act recklessly in our Vermilion Bird Altar!"

Yale Wade further persuaded.

"Hmph!"

Abraham Clifford snorted coldly, "Although I indeed don’t think I can protect Wyatt Barnes... But in our Black Tortoise, it’s not certain that no one can protect him!"

"You..."

Upon hearing Abraham’s words, Yale Wade’s pupils slightly contracted, and he asked with a shocked expression: "Are you planning to recommend Wyatt Barnes to your Black Tortoise leader?"

"Yes."

Abraham Clifford nodded.

"Elder Abraham!"

Seeing Abraham nod seriously, Yale Wade became anxious; he didn’t want a duck that was almost cooked to fly away. "Considering my age and how I don’t have a decent personal disciple yet, why not let Wyatt Barnes come to me... I will always remember this favor, always remember!!"

Wyatt Barnes stood at the side, watching the scene before him, and was at a loss for words.

This Yale Wade, throughout the process, seemed to have never asked for his opinion, did he?

Seeing Wyatt Barnes’s speechless face, Abraham Clifford, annoyed by Yale Wade’s persistence, brightened his gaze and said: "Elder Yale, what’s the point in telling me more?"

"If Wyatt Barnes himself doesn’t want to stay at the Vermilion Bird Altar, are you going to force him to stay? I think you should ask his opinion first, then come persuade me... Right now, you’re somewhat putting the cart before the horse."

Abraham immediately shifted this ’trouble’ to Wyatt Barnes.

Seeing Yale Wade look over, Wyatt immediately expressed his stance, with an apologetic face saying: "Elder Yale, sorry... I want to stay at Black Tortoise and study the Black Tortoise’s signature Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Protection’!"

Black Tortoise Protection was his only pursuit at the Black Tortoise!

He was just short of a high-level defensive Divine Ability.

And as the number one defensive Divine Ability of the Fire Worship Sect, ’Black Tortoise Protection’ was undoubtedly the most suitable defensive Divine Ability for him.

"I forgot, Wyatt Barnes, you’re also very talented in mastering Divine Abilities! Currently, you have already mastered three ’high-level Divine Abilities’."

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, before Yale Wade could speak, Abraham Clifford had already spoken first.

Then he looked at Yale Wade and smiled, "Elder Yale, if I’m not mistaken, the altar divine ability of your Vermilion Bird Altar... seems not as strong as the ’advanced movement divine ability’ that Wyatt Barnes has mastered! So, you better give up. Wyatt Barnes won’t stay at your Vermilion Bird Altar."

Yale Wade’s chubby face was a bit rigid, and when his gaze met Wyatt Barnes’ determined look, he couldn’t help but sigh.

"Forget it, forget it..."

In the end, Yale Wade waved his hand helplessly, like a deflated balloon, as if he suddenly aged by decades.

"Elder Yale, the priority now is to resolve Wyatt Barnes’ matter first!"

Suddenly, Abraham Clifford turned serious and said to Yale Wade.

Upon hearing this, Yale Wade also shuddered, coming to his senses, and his expression turned solemn, "Wyatt Barnes, since you possess the ’green-colored spiritual root’... then, according to the ’unspoken rules’ of our Fire Worship Sect, the mistake you’ve made isn’t a big deal!"

"However, a punishment on the surface is still necessary... otherwise, it’s difficult to convince the masses!"

Yale Wade and Abraham Clifford exchanged a look, quickly reaching a consensus.

"Unspoken rules?"

Upon hearing Yale Wade’s words, Wyatt Barnes’ lips twitched slightly, barely noticeable.

Although he knew that after revealing his ’green-colored spiritual root’ talent, the Fire Worship Sect, eager to cherish talent, wouldn’t really demand a life for a life for killing the Anderson brothers.

However, until now, he hadn’t known that this was called ’unspoken rules’ in the Fire Worship Sect!

Outside the flame domain.

As time passed, Maximus Lee’s uneasiness grew stronger, and his face became increasingly unsightly.

"Still not over?"

"Why do I feel something is off... theoretically, if both Law Enforcement Elders wanted to execute Wyatt Barnes, it wouldn’t take this long!"

"Could there have been some unforeseen change?"

"Change? What kind of change could there be!"

...

Many of the Vermilion Bird Altar disciples also sensed something was amiss but couldn’t pinpoint what exactly.

"Wyatt Barnes..."

A trace of hopeful glimmer rose in the depths of Augustine Landon’s eyes.

Whoa!!

Finally, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the ’flame domain’ that blocked everyone’s view was retracted by the Vermilion Bird Altar’s Law Enforcement Elder, Yale Wade.

With the flame domain gone, three figures appeared before everyone.

"This..."

Seeing Wyatt Barnes, whom they thought had already been executed, standing there as if nothing had happened, a group of Vermilion Bird Altar disciples were all flabbergasted.

So, after all this time, the two Law Enforcement Elders hadn’t executed Wyatt Barnes?

If they hadn’t executed Wyatt Barnes, then what were they doing all this time?

The hearts of many Vermilion Bird Altar disciples were filled with doubts.

"Elder Yale, Elder Abraham... What were you doing just now?"

Maximus Lee’s eyes flashed brilliantly as he looked at the two Law Enforcement Elders and asked in a deep voice.

However, despite his loud voice, neither Yale Wade nor Abraham Clifford paid attention to him, making Maximus Lee’s face extremely unpleasant.

"Wyatt Barnes, you..."

Simultaneously, Augustine Landon couldn’t help but transmit his voice to Wyatt Barnes, unable to comprehend the scene before him.

"Brother Augustine, just watch closely for what’s next."

Wyatt Barnes interrupted Augustine Landon’s voice transmission, speaking in a calm tone that offered reassurance.

Upon hearing this, Augustine Landon nodded secretly and immediately focused his attention on the Law Enforcement Elder of Black Tortoise Altar, Abraham Clifford.

Today, the ’judgment’ regarding Wyatt Barnes was determined by this Elder Abraham Clifford.

"Ahem..."

However, just as most eyes were on Abraham Clifford, Yale Wade, the Law Enforcement Elder from the Vermilion Bird Altar, cleared his throat.

Successfully drawing everyone’s attention, Yale Wade said loudly, "After thorough verification by this elder, Wyatt Barnes’ act of killing the Anderson brothers was indeed in self-defense!"

Killing the Anderson brothers was all in self-defense?

Augustine Landon was dumbfounded.

A group of Vermilion Bird Altar disciples were also dumbfounded.

"However, knowing he could hold back, he still ruthlessly killed Kenny Anderson... Such actions are quite inappropriate! Now, Elder Abraham Clifford will deliver the final ’judgment’ on Wyatt Barnes’ transgressions!"

Yale Wade continued.

When Maximus Lee heard the previous sentence from Yale Wade, his expression had already changed, to the extent that he completely ignored the following sentence.

The ominous premonition had ultimately come true!
