Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039: Martial Emperors Gather Together
"What’s so impossible about that?"
Hearing Camden Taylor’s words, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, "You said it yourself, all that is just your speculation... If you could guess everything right, you wouldn’t end up as trash like you are now."
Trash!
Wyatt’s words clearly entered Camden Taylor’s ears, turning his face even uglier, leaving him montarily at a loss for a retort.
Despite not wanting to admit it, he had to concede.
Compared to Wyatt, he truly qualified as ’trash.’
Seeing this, a hint of ’triumph’ flickered across the corners of Wyatt’s mouth.
He had just sworn an oath under the ’Thunder Tribulation,’ declaring that if he obtained three ’Mystic Fragnt Pieces’ from the remains of the Martial Emperor Qingfeng, he would willingly be smitten to death by Thunder Punishnt.
After the Thunder Tribulation issued nine booms in response to his oath, the Thunder Punishnt did not descend.
Thus, in the eyes of others, even if he had climbed to the ’fifth floor’ of the Qingfeng Hall, he likely did not encounter the corpse of the Martial Emperor Qingfeng.
Otherwise, how could he dare swear an oath under the ’Thunder Tribulation’? Claiming that he did not obtain the three ’Mystic Fragnt Pieces’ from the remains of the Martial Emperor Qingfeng.
Unknown to anyone.
The reason Wyatt dared to make such an oath under the ’Thunder Tribulation’ wasn’t because he hadn’t seen the remains of Martial Emperor Qingfeng.
On the contrary.
He had not only seen the remains of Martial Emperor Qingfeng but had even obtained the ’Emperor Realm Mystic Fragnt Piece’ within them.
The reason he dared to make that oath under the ’Thunder Tribulation’ and did not trigger the Thunder Punishnt, let alone being smitten by it, was because he did not violate the ’oath.’
His oath stipulated that if he obtained the three ’Mystic Fragnt Pieces’ from within the remains of Martial Emperor Qingfeng, he would be willing to be smitten by Thunder Punishnt.
However, while he did obtain the ’Mystic Fragnt Piece’ from within the remains of Martial Emperor Qingfeng, it was not three pieces, but one—a single ’Emperor Realm Mystic Fragnt Piece.’
As for the other two ’Emperor Realm Mystic Fragnt Pieces,’ even he did not know whose hands they ended up in.
Because of this, he did not break his oath.
The ’Mystic Fragnt Pieces’ he obtained were not ’three’ but just ’one.’
Wyatt had just been playing a word ga with the three mbers of the Impermanence Sect, and they, completely unaware, believed every word he said.
"Even so, you should still have one ’Mystic Fragnt Piece’ in your possession!"
Camden Taylor looked at Wyatt with an unsatisfied expression, speaking through gritted teeth.
"Idiot!"
Ignoring Camden Taylor’s increasingly ugly expression, Wyatt carelessly spat out two words at him.
Enraged, Camden Taylor began to tremble violently before Wyatt continued, "Do you think the ’Mystic Fragnt Pieces’ I obtained after entering the ’Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure’ are all for myself?"
Saying this, Wyatt turned his gaze toward the elder standing in front of Camden Taylor, none other than Crystal Buckingham, the Supre Elder of the Impermanence Sect.
Just as he was about to say sothing, another voice descended from the heavens, interrupting him just as he opened his mouth to speak.
"Do you dare to swear... that you did not obtain the ’Emperor Realm Mystic Fragnt Piece’?"
The booming voice ca from above, and two figures appeared almost simultaneously, swiftly closing the gap to Wyatt, with the one behind staring intently at Wyatt.
The earlier voice had co from him.
This was a middle-aged man, around fifty years old, with eyes as sharp as a hawk’s.
However, his arrival didn’t draw much of Wyatt’s attention.
Wyatt’s focus was entirely on the elder in front of the middle-aged man.
The elder was clothed in gray, exuding an extraordinary sharpness from head to toe.
To Wyatt, this man gave off the sa feeling as Daniel Tucker and Crystal Buckingham—complicated and imposing, carrying an invisible pressure with him.
Such a sense of oppression was sothing that ordinary warriors could not impart.
"A Martial Emperor powerhouse!"
Wyatt’s pupils constricted, and his heart trembled, "Could it be ’that person’ from the North Nether Sect?"
The North Nether Sect, just like the Erging Cloud Sect and the Impermanence Sect, was a ’second-tier force’ in the Northern Desert, also boasting a resident Martial Emperor powerhouse.
That Martial Emperor powerhouse had been ntioned by so disciples of the Five Elents Sect when Wyatt was leaving for the ’Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure.’
The foremost powerhouse of the North Nether Sect, a Martial Emperor:
Toby Fenning!
"Toby Fenning?"
As the gray-clothed elder appeared, Wyatt heard Crystal Buckingham, the Martial Emperor powerhouse of the Impermanence Sect, greet the elder with a hint of surprise.
In an instant, Wyatt realized his guess was correct.
The person before him was indeed ’Toby Fenning,’ the mainstay and Guardian Deity of the North Nether Sect.
"Two Martial Emperor powerhouses..."
A bitter smile crept upon Wyatt’s lips without him noticing.
Having to deal with Crystal Buckingham, the Martial Emperor powerhouse of the Impermanence Sect, was already headache-inducing enough, requiring all sorts of strategies to cope.
Now there was ’Toby Fenning’—even more troubleso.
Crystal Buckingham was alright; he was completely incited to seek out Wyatt by his own direct disciple, Camden Taylor, with the purpose of obtaining the ’Mystic Fragnt Piece’ Wyatt had acquired from the remains of Martial Emperor Qingfeng.
However, after he had sworn on the "Ninety-Nine Thunder Tribulation," he noticed that Crystal Buckingham’s hostility towards him had sowhat abated.
Yet Toby Fenning’s pursuit was not for the three "Mystic Fragnts" that might exist in his possession; it was more about killing him to avenge Qadir Adams.
Qadir Adams, the premier youth of his generation in the North Nether Sect and the direct disciple of the Sect Leader.
It happened inside the fourth level of the ’Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasure,’ where Qadir Adams, coveting his life and the treasures he possessed, rcilessly attacked him.
In the end, he was counter-killed in the first encounter by his, now fully empowered, self!
The death of Qadir Adams was known only to him and Camden Taylor.
If Camden Taylor were to die, no one would know that it was he who had killed Qadir Adams.
However, at a critical mont, Wyatt Barnes was seriously injured internally, which provided Camden Taylor with an opportunity to escape before his recovery, thus planting the seeds of future trouble.
Now, the seeds of disaster sown in the past had erged one by one, leaving Wyatt Barnes struggling to cope.
"Are you Wyatt Barnes?"
At so point, Toby Fenning’s originally cloudy eyesight had suddenly sharpened, as he stared intently at Wyatt Barnes and asked him, word for word.
At the sa ti, an aura as sharp as a sword swept out from him towards Wyatt Barnes.
Although Wyatt Barnes had felt no pressure when he faced the aura emanating from Daniel Tucker,
now, facing the aura emanating from Toby Fenning, he felt a trace of pressure.
Of course, Wyatt Barnes was aware that this didn’t an Toby Fenning was stronger than Daniel Tucker, but that Toby Fenning was more adept at this technique.
In the face of Toby Fenning’s question, Wyatt Barnes cast a wary glance at him but did not respond.
He had seen clearly the murderous intent in the depths of Toby Fenning’s eyes.
He knew that Toby Fenning harbored the intent to kill him, wishing nothing more than to kill him swiftly.
For a mont, Wyatt Barnes felt an increase in unease and anxiety.
"Wyatt Barnes, make another oath... as long as you swear on ’Ninety-Nine Thunder Tribulation’ that you have not obtained the ’Emperor-level Mystic Fragnt.’ Once the oath is taken, if you do not perish, I will no longer trouble you," Crystal Buckingham said with a light glance at Wyatt Barnes, speaking slowly.
He, inspired by a middle-aged elder from the North Nether Sect, added this condition to corner Wyatt Barnes, leaving him no choice.
Upon hearing this, Wyatt Barnes’s expression changed imperceptibly.
At that mont, he also realized.
Now, even if he didn’t admit to obtaining the ’Emperor-level Mystic Fragnt,’ he was already out of options.
Crystal Buckingham had sought him out because of the treasures on his person.
Toby Fenning, on the other hand, was more about avenging Qadir Adams.
Even if Crystal Buckingham didn’t make a move, Toby Fenning alone was more than enough to kill him.
"Indeed! I have obtained the ’Emperor-level Mystic Fragnt,’"
So Wyatt Barnes simply admitted candidly.
As he admitted it, his gaze imdiately fell on Toby Fenning.
More precisely, it was on Toby Fenning’s eyes, as he closely observed the changes in his gaze.
When he saw a greed flicker in the depths of Toby Fenning’s eyes, he couldn’t help but silently breathe a sigh of relief.
Perhaps, this was his turning point.
As it seed now, this was the only chance.
Emperor-level Mystic Fragnt!
The mont Wyatt Barnes spoke those words, the three from the Impermanence Sect, led by the venerable ’Crystal Buckingham,’ all brightened up at the prospect.
When they looked at Wyatt Barnes again, it was as if they were looking at so rare and precious treasure.
"Humph! It seems I guessed right; the ’Emperor-level Mystic Fragnt’ was indeed obtained by you," Camden Taylor scoffed, looking at Wyatt Barnes with an ’I saw through you long ago’ expression, as if boasting of his ’foresight.’
At the sa ti, two terrifying intents to kill appeared, both sweeping towards Wyatt Barnes with the utmost chilliness.
When Wyatt Barnes ca back to his senses, he discovered that the two terrifying intents to kill ca from ’Crystal Buckingham’ and ’Toby Fenning’—both Martial Emperors had murderous intentions towards him.
An Emperor-level Mystic Fragnt, it wasn’t just two ’First Level Martial Emperors’ who would be interested in it; even ’Ninth Level Martial Emperors’ would covet it.
However, at the mont, none of them had taken action, each locked in a standoff.
In their view,
the ’Emperor-level Mystic Fragnt’ in Wyatt Barnes’s hand was already in their bag; there was no doubt about it.
What they needed to consider was how to outdo each other in seizing the ’Emperor-level Mystic Fragnt.’
They were old rivals of many years, each familiar with the other’s capabilities, which was why they hesitated for so long without any action.
"Toby Fenning, you wanted to avenge ’Qadir Adams,’ didn’t you? I can leave his life to you... As for the other things he has, I want them," Crystal Buckingham said with a flash in his eyes to Toby Fenning.
"Crystal Buckingham... if you think his life is more precious than the ’Emperor-level Mystic Fragnt,’ then I can let you have his life, and the ’Emperor-level Mystic Fragnt’ will be mine," Toby Fenning stated his stance in his reply.
Avenging ’Qadir Adams’ was important, of course, but it seed insignificant compared to the ’Emperor-level Mystic Fragnt.’
