CHAPTER 2043: CHAPTER 2043: OLIVER WATSON IN DIRE STRAITS

"This child is useless and has brought shame to Father."

Listening to Johnny Reid’s words, Fore Reid lowered his head in shame, but a chilling glint flashed in his eyes.

Of course, the chilling glint in his eyes was not aimed at his father, but at ’Wyatt Barnes’!

If it wasn’t for Wyatt Barnes, why would he need to seek out his father to avenge him?

Had he not sought his father’s help, how could he have heard words from him that were laden with ’disappointment’?

From the beginning to the end, Fore Reid resented Wyatt Barnes.

He never thought it was because of his own incompetence!

Not to mention that he was the one who provoked Wyatt Barnes first.

If he truly had some backbone, he could have sought revenge through his own efforts in cultivation, why ask his father for help?

"Your innate spiritual root is the same as his, both being ’Azure Roots’... Father hopes that one day you can surpass him with your own strength, rather than coming to me to punish him!"

Johnny Reid looked earnestly at Fore Reid and said, "As for this time, I will have Elder Yorke talk to ’Lennon Field’, you can go see Lennon Field tomorrow!"

"Elder Field?!"

Hearing Johnny Reid’s words, Fore Reid’s eyes instantly lit up, his face full of excitement.

Lennon Field, the first Elder of Silver Flame at the Enforcement Hall!

He once received a favor from his father and could be said to be under his father’s command.

Hearing his father mention asking Lennon Field to teach Wyatt Barnes a lesson, how could Fore Reid not be excited?

Seeing Fore Reid’s excitement, unable to hide his delight, after hearing his words, Johnny Reid also showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes, shook his head, turned around, and left for the main residence.

Though disappointed, there was nothing he could do.

After all, this was his only son, his everything.

No matter how useful or useless this son was, he was his lifeline, his everything.

If someone bullied his son, he naturally couldn’t stand it.

Of course, although Wyatt Barnes humiliated his son, he hadn’t crossed his ’bottom line’, so it wasn’t appropriate for him to take action personally.

"Farewell, Father!"

Meanwhile, Fore Reid also snapped back to reality, respectfully saying as he watched Johnny Reid’s receding figure.

"Elder Yorke, I’m heading back first, tomorrow I’ll go find Elder Field... make sure to see Elder Field today!"

Before leaving, Fore Reid looked again at Elder Yorke and reminded him further.

"I will go now."

Only after seeing Elder Yorke nod and rise into the air, did Fore Reid leave satisfied.

Looking at Fore Reid’s back, Elder Yorke sighed deeply and muttered to himself, "With the Junior Lord like this, no wonder the Master is disappointed..."

As for Fore Reid seeking out his father, the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall ’Johnny Reid’ for support, Wyatt Barnes was entirely unaware.

Currently, Wyatt Barnes was diligently cultivating on the fourth level of the Jewel Tower.

His next goal was to elevate his cultivation to the ’mid-Earth Saint Realm’!

In doing so, even without the ’Splendid Fairy Sword’, he could defeat an average ’Second Transformation Saint Immortal’...

Of course, it would only be an average Second Transformation Saint Immortal!

Like someone at the level of ’Emma Wenston’, even if he advanced to the mid-Earth Saint Realm, without using the Splendid Fairy Sword, he would still not be a match.

Not to mention someone like ’Paisley Flores’.

The power among Second Transformation Saint Immortals varied significantly.

Like someone such as Paisley Flores, who could barely make it onto the Extreme Saint Ranking of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, whereas figures like Emma Wenston or Reuben Willow, weren’t even qualified to be on it.

"If I break through to ’mid-Earth Saint Realm’, I might be able to defeat Senior Brother Reuben Willow without using the Splendid Fairy Sword... if I break through to ’late-Earth Saint Realm’, I can beat Emma Wenston without using it!"

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself, "As for Keer’s sister, the Second Transformation Saint Immortal of Paisley Flores’ level... without using the Splendid Fairy Sword, I probably need to break through to the peak of the Earth Saint Realm to defeat her!"

Staying at the Holy Land of the Fire Worship Sect for some time, Wyatt Barnes didn’t spend it idly.

He had gained a clear and precise understanding of the power grading of ’Second Transformation Saint Immortals’.

"Paisley Flores is not considered the peak among Second Transformation Saint Immortals... to defeat a peak of the Second Transformation Saint Immortals without employing the Splendid Fairy Sword, I probably need at least a breakthrough to ’mid-Heavenly Saint Realm’!"

Wyatt Barnes was aware of this.

Although the Second Transformation Saint Immortal is just one level of cultivation, the difference between one at the peak of the Second Transformation and those who have just entered it is like night and day!

The Nine Transformations of Saint Immortal, the gap between each transformation is enormous.

It’s not any smaller than the gap between Earth Saint Realm and Heavenly Saint Realm, or Human Saint Realm and Earth Saint Realm.

Because of this, Wyatt Barnes was very intense in his cultivation.

He understood that in order to save Keer and her mother, he must rapidly elevate his cultivation.

He wanted to gain the strength to rescue Keer and her daughter before the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect emerged from seclusion!

Otherwise, who knows what changes might happen when the Sect Leader emerges?

And Wyatt Barnes, he hoped no unforeseen changes would occur!

The night passed quickly.

For Wyatt, while only one night passed in the outside world, five full days had elapsed on the fourth level of the Jewel Tower.

Therefore, he cultivated diligently, and his cultivation was getting closer to the ’mid-Earth Saint Realm’.

Just as Wyatt was about to leave the ’residence’ in the main hall of the Enforcement Hall to take up his patrol post on the west side of the hall,

in a mysterious, gloomy, and eerie place, ’Oliver Watson’ appeared extremely haggard.

That’s right.

This ’Oliver Watson’ used to be the Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace in the former third-rate power ’Mansion of Mysterious Void’ in the Martial Dao Sacred Land Lower Domain, later shunned due to practicing the ’Devouring Dark Demon Art’.

However, he then followed Wyatt Barnes to the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, joining the Fire Worship Sect, one of the three sects there, and even entered one of the Four Symbols Altars of the Fire Worship Sect, the ’White Tiger Altar’.

A short while ago, before Wyatt entered the Holy Land of the Fire Worship Sect, he had Elder Silver Flame of the Black Tortoise Altar, Abraham Clifford, help send Oliver Watson to the cross-domain teleportation array of the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, sending him back to the Lower Domain.

Wyatt sent Oliver Watson back to the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land hoping that Oliver could deliver a message to the ’Mansion of Azure Clouds’.

After all, in the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, Wyatt had offended Maximus Lee and had formed a deadly enmity with Russel Yorke, the Fifth Elder of the first-rate power Northern Quarters Sect.

Already having exposed his identity as a ’Nine-Claw Dragon Warrior’, there’s a high chance that Maximus Lee and Russel Yorke might deduce he originated from the Lower Domain.

If either Maximus Lee or Russel Yorke sends people to investigate the Lower Domain, they would definitely learn about his background in no time.

This is because, in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, the name ’Wyatt Barnes’ may not be known to everyone, but many do know it.

Both Maximus Lee and Russel Yorke would be able to immediately find out that he came from the Lower Domain’s third-rate power, the ’Mansion of Azure Clouds’.

By then, the Mansion of Azure Clouds would face a catastrophic disaster!

In such a situation, Wyatt decided to send Oliver Watson ahead to the ’Mansion of Azure Clouds’ in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land to deliver the message.

Wyatt believed that as long as his father, Lanni Barnes, received the message in advance, he could arrange everything in a short time to successfully avoid this disaster.

However, Wyatt never could have dreamed:

That an accident would happen once Oliver Watson entered the ’cross-domain teleportation array’!

He was not transmitted to the ’Lower Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, but instead to a mysterious, gloomy, and eerie place.

Everywhere his eyes could see was shrouded in a gray haze.

The sky here was dim, with no distinction between day and night.

In recent times, Oliver had come to adapt to this.

"What exactly is this place? It seems to be neither the ’Lower Domain’ nor the ’Upper Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land..."

Oliver looked up at the sky, where a blood-red moon hung in the sky, as if stained with blood, incredibly sinister and eerie.

The dim sky was illuminated by it.

"The spiritual energy here is worse even than the ’Lower Domain’ of the Martial Dao Sacred Land... Moreover, I feel like I’ve been wandering around here for several months, but I haven’t encountered a single ’living person’! Not to mention humans, I haven’t even seen a single animal."

Wandering aimlessly through the desolate forest, passing by one withered tree after another, Oliver’s mood was extremely depressed, feeling as if he was on the brink of insanity!

Because there was no separation of day and night here, he had no idea how long he had been in this place.

Yet, he felt it had been a very, very long time, as if several months had passed.

Of course, in reality, Oliver hadn’t been in this place for that long.

But because the atmosphere of the place was so gloomy and eerie, coupled with the absence of any living creatures, over time, his mood became extremely agitated, feeling as if he had been here forever.

For this place, Oliver felt a deep-seated aversion.

Yet, he had no idea how to get back.

"What went wrong with the ’cross-domain teleportation array’? How did it transmit me to such a ghostly place... Where exactly is this place?"

Oliver was extremely agitated, almost on the brink of collapse.

However, once his emotions reached the edge of collapse, he surprisingly calmed down a bit, attentively observing everything around him...

Finally, he discovered that the path he took seemed to have him treading in place!

The scenery he experienced kept repeating, as if he was trapped in a dead end.

"An illusionary array?"

Suddenly, Oliver was startled and halted his steps, not moving forward any further.

Because he realized that even if he continued walking now, it would be futile, ultimately just treading in place.

"Hehe... This guy seems to have discovered it."

Almost at the moment Oliver stopped, a sinister laugh echoed by his ear.
