Chapter 1094: Chapter 1094 Kylen Gagnon’s Speculation
Taking a deep breath to calm his tumultuous emotions, Kylen Gagnon gazed at the two corpses on the ground with an icy look in his eyes.
"So ti ago, I advised Kartier to let go of his hatred toward you, Elder Barnes... He promised
that he would not seek revenge."
Kylen paused for a mont before continuing, "However, I never expected him to say one thing and do another, devising such a plan to lure you into this trap!"
As he spoke, a trace of anger appeared on Kylen’s face, outraged that Kartier had deceived him.
Wyatt Barnes’s words raised no suspicion.
Not to ntion, Wyatt had no reason to lie.
That Kartier and the old man with him were here was already very telling.
"But, from where did they hire a Martial Emperor Realm Inscription master to set up this ’illusion formation’ that could confuse ?"
Soon, Kylen’s brows furrowed, and his face showed confusion and puzzlent.
The ’illusion formation’ that could trap him undoubtedly had to co from a Martial Emperor Realm Inscription master — this much he was sure of.
Of course, the reason why Kylen was asking this question was that Wyatt had not ntioned that the ’illusion formation’ was set up by the old man with Kartier when explaining the ins and outs of the matter earlier.
So, in Kylen’s eyes, the old man was rely a peak Void Realm martial artist.
While Kylen was pondering this, Wyatt Barnes walked over to the old man’s corpse.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, Wyatt lifted his hand and conjured a sword with Origin Force that swooped down swiftly at the old man.
The whistling sound of the sword drew Kylen’s attention.
Imdiately afterward, Kylen saw Wyatt strike the old man’s body with the sword and extract three ’fragnts’ that the old man had nurtured within him.
Initially, he had only glanced superficially at the three ’fragnts’ in Wyatt’s hands and noticed nothing.
But when he looked closer, his gaze beca completely fixed, tightly locked onto one of the three fragnts in Wyatt’s hands.
This particular fragnt was surrounded by vivid red flas.
"Could it be... a Fragnt of Principle?!"
After a brief mont of stupor, Kylen ca to his senses and could not help but exclaim softly.
By then, Wyatt had already put away the ’First Level Emperor Realm Fire Principle Fragnt’ and two ’Ninth Level Realm Fragnts,’ a faint smile appearing on his face.
For him, this was a fruitful gain, having acquired a ’Fragnt of Principle’.
A Fragnt of Principle alone represented a ’Martial Emperor’.
Although it was just a ’First Level Emperor Realm Fragnt,’ as long as it was handed to a martial artist in the ’Ninth Level of the Transforming Void Realm’ who had comprehended ’High-Level Ninth Stage Fire Realm,’
the person would definitely be able to grasp the ’Fire Principle’ and break through to beco a ’Martial Emperor’!
"When did Stuart Lester breakthrough to the ’Martial Emperor Realm’?" Kylen thought as Wyatt stored the three fragnts.
His first glance fell on the old man’s corpse, his face showing surprise.
Clearly, Kylen had not known that the old man with Kartier was a ’Martial Emperor’.
At that mont, he couldn’t help but inwardly sigh, "It’s a pity... a Martial Emperor has died just like that."
In his view,
as long as Stuart Lester had lived, he could have potentially beco the fourth ’Protector Elder’ for the Gagnon family, boosting the overall strength of the family to another level.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, as if rembering sothing important, Kylen’s pupils constricted.
He recalled a crucial matter.
Since Stuart Lester was a ’Martial Emperor,’ then the person who killed him must also be a Martial Emperor, and certainly a stronger one than him!
Otherwise, how could he have killed Stuart Lester?
"Elder Barnes... Stuart Lester... who killed him?" Kylen took a deep breath and asked Wyatt.
"What do you think?" Wyatt responded lightly, seeming to have anticipated that Kylen would ask such a question.
Hearing Wyatt’s reply, Kylen was initially taken aback, then he scrutinized Wyatt for a mont and finally turned his gaze to the red-dressed woman standing to the side, Winnie Roro.
"This woman couldn’t have... When we arrived, she still needed Elder Barnes to lead her through the air with Origin Force."
After glancing at Winnie, Kylen looked back at Wyatt.
"Thus... The person who killed Stuart Lester is either Elder Barnes himself or a mighty figure hidden behind Elder Barnes, always guarding his safety."
Kylen speculated in his mind.
He was more inclined towards the latter.
Not only because Wyatt was too young but also because Wyatt was an outstanding Grade One alchemist.
It would be quite outrageous for such a young Grade One alchemist to also be a ’Martial Emperor.’
Thus, he found it hard to believe that Wyatt was a ’Martial Emperor.’
"Since there’s nothing here that you, Elder Barnes, want... perhaps we should head back," Kylen said, looking at Wyatt again, his eyes showing a trace of wariness, his already polite ’tone’ becoming even more courteous.
From the injury on Stuart Lester’s body, he could tell that he had been killed with a single strike.
Although he did not know the exact level of Stuart Lester’s cultivation, if it had been him, even if Stuart Lester had been just a First Level Martial Emperor Realm martial artist, he would not have been able to kill him with one blow.
Just for that reason, he guessed that the figure lurking in the shadows protecting Wyatt was far stronger than him.
So, his attitude towards Wyatt Barnes had changed significantly now.
"Hmm."
Kartier Gagnon’s suggestion wasn’t rejected by Wyatt Barnes. After calling out to Winnie Roro, he left with Stuart Lester.
After the three of them left, they went straight to the "Gagnon Family Estate."
A day and a night passed, and they returned to the Gagnon household without incident.
Slap!
In the great hall of the Gagnon house, a loud bang resonated as Randy Gagnon, the family head, slapped a new chair beside him, splintering the wood all over the floor.
"Kartier Gagnon truly has the audacity of a bear and the daring of a leopard!"
Randy Gagnon suddenly burst out shouting, his tone filled with surging anger.
Clearly, he had also learned of Kartier Gagnon’s actions.
After a mont, Randy Gagnon took a deep breath and looked apologetically at the three people before him, precisely at the young man in purple clothes, "Elder Barnes, this matter was due to our Gagnon Family’s oversight... I hope you won’t bla us."
The young man in purple, indeed, was the weather-beaten Wyatt Barnes.
"As long as Kartier Gagnon is dead, let’s let bygones be bygones."
Wyatt Barnes spoke indifferently, not intending to pursue the matter further.
"Yes."
Randy Gagnon respectfully responded.
"Hmm?"
The elder standing next to the young man in purple, who was the Protector Elder of the Gagnon Family, Kylen Gagnon, suddenly frowned.
He always felt that, for a mont, their family head, when looking at this young Elder Barnes, showed a trace of fear in his eyes, as if afraid of sothing.
"Could it be that our family head knows that there is a powerful figure hidden behind Elder Barnes? And that even the family head is afraid of that powerhouse?"
Kylen Gagnon secretly speculated.
"Elder Barnes, speaking of coincidences... the day you just left, two people visited one after another, each exchanging a Transforming Void Realm warrior’s spirit fruit for a Grade One Return-Life Pill that you had refined."
At this mont, Randy Gagnon changed the topic, ntioning another ’bounty.’
"Two people? Two spirit fruits?"
Wyatt Barnes’ eyes lit up, amazed to receive such a pleasant surprise just upon his return.
"I hope those two spirit fruits are ones I haven’t consud before... If so, my cultivation could make a breakthrough to the ’Ninth Level of the Transforming Void Realm’ in a short period of ti!"
Wyatt Barnes’s heart raced, his body trembling imperceptibly with excitent.
Soon, Wyatt Barnes suppressed the excitent in his heart and curiously asked, "Family head, how many Grade One Return-Life Pills did you exchange for those spirit fruits?"
"One Grade One Return-Life Pill for one spirit fruit."
Randy Gagnon stated truthfully.
"One?"
Wyatt Barnes was taken aback, "Just one, and soone exchanged it?"
In his view, the preciousness of a Transforming Void Realm warrior’s spirit fruit was far beyond that of a single Grade One Return-Life Pill.
"If it were ordinary Grade One Return-Life Pills, naturally no one would exchange... However, exchanging with them the Grade One Return-Life Pills that you, Elder Barnes, refined with a purity ’above ninety percent,’ it was actually to their advantage."
Randy Gagnon shook his head and said, "Not to ntion that the value of a Grade One Return-Life Pill with a purity ’above ninety percent’ does not lie solely in its dicinal strength... Even its dicinal strength alone is enough to attract many!"
"A Grade One Return-Life Pill with a purity ’above ninety percent,’ in terms of dicinal power and healing effects, is more than five tis stronger than the typical ones with less than ’seventy percent’ purity."
"At critical monts, such a Grade One Return-Life Pill can even save a life!"
As he spoke, even Randy Gagnon himself got sowhat excited.
Wyatt Barnes suddenly realized.
After a mont, eager to return to his room and cultivate to enhance his cultivation, Wyatt Barnes took the two spirit fruits from Randy Gagnon and headed towards his own estate with Winnie Roro.
"Winnie, you take this Red Phosphorus Fruit and use it for your cultivation."
Wyatt Barnes handed a spirit fruit that seed to burn with a red phosphorous fla to Winnie Roro, directly speaking.
"You use it."
Winnie Roro’s words were few but direct.
"I’ve consud a Red Phosphorus Fruit before, and taking it again would be useless... Take it."
Seeing Winnie Roro reluctant to accept, Wyatt Barnes played his ’trump card,’ though he was also being truthful.
Among the two spirit fruits he had just received from Randy Gagnon, one of the Red Phosphorus Fruits was, in fact, the sa type he had consud earlier, which had also been provided by Randy Gagnon.
His current cultivation was due to consuming that Red Phosphorus Fruit.
Hearing Wyatt Barnes say that, Winnie Roro finally accepted the Red Phosphorus Fruit.
"Thank you."
Winnie Roro briefly parted her lips, simply thanking Wyatt Barnes.
"Between you and , there’s no need for thanks."
With a tender look, Wyatt Barnes glanced at Winnie Roro before bidding her farewell and then returned to his room to cultivate.
After Wyatt Barnes went back to his room, Winnie Roro also returned to hers.
What Wyatt Barnes didn’t know was that,
now, because of the two Grade One Return-Life Pills with a purity ’above ninety percent’ that had flowed out of the Gagnon Family, the outside world was completely in an uproar.
