CHAPTER 2041: CHAPTER 2041: PAISLEY FLORES IN SHOCK

"Yes."

Faced with Paisley Flores’s inquiry, Shmuel Morgan didn’t dare to be slow and promptly nodded in response.

"He hasn’t been in our Fire Worship Sect for long, right? Where did he get so many contribution points?"

Paisley had a look of surprise on her face and asked in confusion.

Hearing Paisley’s question, Shmuel responded again, "Although he has been with our Fire Worship Sect for less than a year, nearly every major event in this year that caused a stir in the sect was related to him..."

At this point, Shmuel paused for a moment and then continued, "As for those one million contribution points, he earned them at the ’Life and Death Hall’ after he arrived at the Holy Land from Four Symbols Altar!"

"Every major event that caused a stir in the sect was related to him?"

Hearing the previous sentence from Shmuel, Paisley was momentarily stunned.

Listening to Shmuel’s latter statement, Paisley was deeply confused, "Life and Death Hall? Since when could you earn so many contribution points at the Life and Death Hall? Why have I never heard about such a good thing before?"

"This matter actually starts from when he first arrived at our Fire Worship Sect’s Four Symbols Altar, specifically at the ’Black Tortoise Altar’..."

Following that, Shmuel mentioned to Paisley about Wyatt Barnes killing the North Cult Sect’s Fifth Elder’s second son, ’Warren Yorke’, shortly after arriving at the Fire Worship Sect.

He also mentioned that the North Cult Sect’s Fifth Elder’s eldest son is their Fire Worship Sect’s true disciple, ’Wade Yorke’!

Among the 170 plus true disciples, Paisley had some impression of ’Wade Yorke’.

However, although Wade was a true disciple like her, his strength was not enough to make it onto the True Inheritance List, so she didn’t usually pay much attention to Wade.

Of course, on normal days, such a true disciple as Wade couldn’t even catch her eye.

"That Wade, is actually the eldest son of the North Cult Sect’s Fifth Elder?"

Upon learning that Wade was the eldest son of the North Cult Sect’s Fifth Elder, Russel Yorke, Paisley was somewhat surprised, not expecting Wade to have hidden such a deep identity which she had never heard anyone mention before.

Of course, even if Wade was the son of the North Cult Sect’s Fifth Elder, Paisley didn’t pay him any mind.

In terms of strength, Wade was far inferior to her.

In terms of background, Wade couldn’t even come close to hers!

"Just because Wyatt Barnes killed Warren Yorke in the past, Wade went to cause him trouble the moment he arrived at the Holy Land... However, he was bold and straight away challenged Wade to a ’life and death duel’. In the end, the two of them went to the Life and Death Hall and signed a ’Life and Death Contract’. "

At this point, Shmuel couldn’t help but sigh:

"From the beginning, Wade and the other Holy Land disciples thought Wyatt was just putting on a show... However, reality gave them a resounding slap. Wade died at the hands of Wyatt Barnes!"

Hearing that Wade died at the hands of Wyatt Barnes, Paisley was not surprised.

She had just recently witnessed Wyatt Barnes’s strength, and even she was far from being his opponent, let alone ’Wade’ who was inferior to her!

As Shmuel further elaborated, Paisley learned how Wyatt Barnes earned his one million contribution points.

It turned out he wagered on himself to win at the Life and Death Hall!

"The bow he took out was not an ordinary item... Otherwise, Elder Asaiah Nigel wouldn’t have pledged two hundred thousand contribution points for it."

Paisley mused to herself.

Asaiah Nigel was from the same lineage as her and her master, ’Protector Bo’.

In terms of seniority, Asaiah Nigel, the manager of Life and Death Hall, was her senior brother.

Because of this, she was very familiar with Asaiah Nigel, knowing he was a person who never acted without profit.

Upon learning the source of Wyatt Barnes’s ’one million contribution points’, Paisley looked at Shmuel and continued to ask, "Earlier, you said, in the past year, every major uproar in the sect was related to him?"

"What events? Tell me!"

Paisley further asked.

She was somewhat curious about the things Wyatt Barnes had stirred up.

Facing Paisley’s repeated inquiries, Shmuel patiently responded, explaining all the other events related to Wyatt Barnes in detail.

Listening to Shmuel’s narrative, Paisley’s expression was quite remarkable.

She never imagined that in less than a year, Wyatt Barnes had caused so many incidents within the Fire Worship Sect!

As soon as he joined the Fire Worship Sect’s Four Symbols Altar, at the ’Black Tortoise Altar’, he had offended the altar’s top Silver Flame elder, ’Maximus Lee’.

Then, he killed someone at another altar of the Four Symbols Altar, ’Vermilion Bird Altar’!

He was pardoned by the Enforcement Hall because he possessed a ’green spirit root’.

"Wait a minute... a green spirit root? You said his talent root grade is ’green spirit root’?"

Hearing about Wyatt Barnes’s talent root grade, Paisley immediately interrupted Shmuel, looking astonished, "Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?"

"No."

Shmuel shook his head, "His talent root should indeed be a ’green spirit root’! Why? Did you assume, Miss Paisley, that his talent root was just a ’yellow spirit root’?"

Yellow spirit root?

Paisley completely ignored the latter part of Shmuel’s words.

A person only a year or two older than her, possessing strength greater than hers, with rapid improvement in recent years... how could such a person’s talent root be a ’yellow spirit root’!

Even Paisley Flores felt that Wyatt Barnes’ innate talent root wasn’t a ’blue talent stem’!

With the cultivation speed Wyatt Barnes demonstrated, his talent root was at least a ’blue talent stem’, possibly even a ’purple talent stem’!

After all, a few years ago she had been quite aware of Wyatt Barnes’ strength.

"You said his innate talent root should indeed be a blue talent stem? Why did you add ’should’?"

Paisley asked.

"Nowadays, it’s widely rumored in the sect that he knows how to conceal his talent root... If what he revealed is the ’blue talent stem’, there’s a chance that his innate talent root might be above a ’blue talent stem’."

Shmuel Morgan replied, and then added, "Of course, that’s not realistic."

Not realistic?

Paisley was somewhat skeptical about Shmuel Morgan’s words.

In her heart, she had already determined that Wyatt Barnes’ talent root was a ’blue talent stem’ or a ’purple talent stem’!

It wasn’t until Shmuel Morgan introduced the ’source’ of Wyatt Barnes’s strength that Paisley’s heart began to waver a bit.

"His entire cultivation is only in the ’Heavenly Saint Realm’s early stage’? Because he mastered four advanced Divine Abilities, along with a mysterious and unfathomable sword move, he can overpower the second transformation Saint Immortal level experts?"

When she heard this from Shmuel Morgan, Paisley was once again stunned.

Wyatt Barnes’s entire cultivation was just at the ’Heavenly Saint Realm’s early stage’?

This news was certainly shocking for Paisley!

After all, when Wyatt Barnes slashed with that ghostly and unpredictable sword earlier, she even felt that she brushed past ’death’.

Back then, she assumed Wyatt Barnes’s cultivation was above ’Saint Immortal’s third transformation’.

And now, Shmuel Morgan told her that Wyatt Barnes’s cultivation was only ’Heavenly Saint Realm’s early stage’?

Only an early-stage Heavenly Saint Realm martial artist, with strength comparable to a third transformation Saint Immortal?

Although unwilling to believe it, as Shmuel Morgan continued, Paisley had no choice but to believe.

Wyatt Barnes, indeed with the cultivation of the ’Heavenly Saint Realm’s early stage’, exhibited a combat power comparable to the ’Saint Immortal’s third transformation’!

"If his entire cultivation is only at the ’Heavenly Saint Realm’s early stage’... then it’s possible that his talent root is a ’blue talent stem’."

At the same time, Paisley thought secretly.

Soon, Paisley learned another shocking piece of news:

Wyatt Barnes was also a ’Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior’!

She was certainly aware of what being a Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior meant, but she never imagined that Wyatt Barnes would be one!

"Emma Wenston? Didn’t dare accept his ’Life and Death Duel’? Was publicly beaten into a ’pighead’ by him?"

Upon hearing Shmuel Morgan talk about the conflict between Wyatt Barnes and Emma Wenston, Paisley felt immensely pleased, as if it wasn’t Wyatt Barnes but herself who publicly humiliated Emma Wenston.

"Sister, you indeed found a good man. For you, he ventured into the ’tiger’s den’ and didn’t hesitate to risk offending Elder Silver Flame to help you vent!"

At this moment, the image of Wyatt Barnes in Paisley’s mind seemed transformed.

Paisley was self-aware.

Wyatt Barnes’s disciplining of Emma Wenston couldn’t have been for her, but for her twin sister and her little niece.

However, when Paisley learned that Wyatt Barnes offended ’Fore Reid’ to reach the Enforcement Hall, a trace of apprehension appeared in her eyes.

Fore Reid was the only son of one of the Vice Hall Masters of the Enforcement Hall.

Wyatt Barnes had offended him and still had to stay in the Enforcement Hall for a month, and the coming days would certainly be difficult.

Though Fore Reid’s strength might not rival Wyatt Barnes, in this Enforcement Hall, Fore Reid didn’t need to do the dirty work himself to seek revenge on Wyatt Barnes.

"Elder Spacewood, I have a favor to ask."

Paisley looked at Shmuel Morgan, speaking earnestly.

"Miss Flores, feel free to instruct, no need to be polite!"

Shmuel Morgan’s face maintained a constant smile.

To him, the woman before him was akin to a ’great aunt’, and if he neglected her, let alone if the Protector Bo found out, he’d be skinned alive, even if he survived as an elder of the Enforcement Hall!

"This Sound Condensing Jade Slip, could you pass it to my master for me?"

Paisley took out a Sound Condensing Jade Slip, transmitted sound into it, and handed it to Shmuel Morgan.

"Okay!"

Shmuel Morgan accepted the Sound Condensing Jade Slip without hesitation.

And what Paisley left in the Sound Condensing Jade Slip was very straightforward, asking her master to take care of ’Wyatt Barnes’.

Of course, she didn’t mention that Wyatt Barnes was her brother-in-law; she only said he was a friend she met while training outside, and previously humiliated ’Emma Wenston’ greatly for standing up for her.

The reason for mentioning ’Emma Wenston’ was naturally to provoke her master into a sense of shared enmity.

After all, her master also despised Emma Wenston, who had reported her!
