Chapter 1514: Chapter 1514: Tabo Garcia’s Crisis
When Wyatt Barnes probed Center Montes’ cultivation level, Center Montes was also observing Wyatt, his gaze particularly complex.
The reason he could break through to the ’Saint Realm’ so quickly was, to a certain degree, because of Wyatt Barnes.
The reason it was because of Wyatt Barnes was due to hearing about Wyatt breaking through to the ’Saint Realm’ three months ago. This dealt him a huge blow and added significant pressure to him.
As the saying goes, ’Pressure creates motivation,’ and under this invisible pressure, Center Montes had successfully broken through to the ’Saint Realm’ a month ago.
After breaking through to the Saint Realm, he officially joined the ranks of Vice Sect Leader Willy Chapman’s disciples.
It was then that the group of outer sect disciples realized that Center Montes wasn’t secretly accepted as Evander Mullins’ disciple, but was, in fact, a direct disciple of Vice Sect Leader Willy Chapman.
However, having already been shocked by Wyatt Barnes earlier, they had developed so immunity, and this revelation didn’t astonish them too much.
After all, Wyatt Barnes had beco Elder Trevor Baillie’s direct ’Junior Brother’!
Who was Elder Trevor Baillie?
The unanimously acknowledged number one Inner Sect Elder of the Moon Radiance Sect!
His status was so high that it overshadowed even several Vice Sect Leaders.
What’s more, even the Saint Realm powerhouses, including the Sect Leader of the Moon Radiance Sect, treated Elder Trevor Baillie with great respect, acknowledging him as an equal.
The mont Wyatt Barnes was recognized as Elder Trevor Baillie’s ’Junior Brother,’ his seniority within the Moon Radiance Sect was inadvertently elevated.
Even Center Montes’ master, Vice Sect Leader Willy Chapman, had to respectfully address Wyatt Barnes as ’Junior Brother’ for Elder Trevor Baillie’s sake.
"I can only hope that my uncle truly gives up his enmity toward Wyatt Barnes and isn’t rely appeasing ," Center Montes thought to himself.
Back then, when he first heard of Trevor Baillie acknowledging Wyatt Barnes as a ’Junior Brother,’ his last shred of resentnt toward Wyatt vanished completely.
As for what happened in the past, he had thoroughly let go and no longer dwelled on it.
Because he knew that holding on to it would only trouble himself in the end.
This ti, it was precisely because of Wyatt Barnes that he broke through to the ’Saint Realm’ much faster than anticipated, and deep down, Center Montes held a shred of gratitude toward Wyatt.
"Center Montes, congratulations."
Wyatt Barnes took the initiative to convey his congratulations to Center Montes through sound transmission imbued with True Energy.
Upon hearing Wyatt’s words, Center Montes froze in place.
That word of ’Congratulations’ from Wyatt Barnes clearly held deeper aning, and the only thing it could pertain to was his breakthrough to the ’Saint Realm.’
Yet, as far as he knew, only he and his master were aware of his breakthrough to the ’Saint Realm.’
He hadn’t disclosed his current level of cultivation to anyone else.
Now, Wyatt Barnes had seen through him in a single glance, leaving him with the unsettling sensation of having no secrets in front of Wyatt.
"You... figured it out?"
Center Montes took a deep breath and couldn’t help but ask through sound transmission.
To this, Wyatt Barnes didn’t respond verbally, rely smiling, a mysterious and enigmatic smile in Center Montes’ eyes.
At this mont, Wyatt Barnes’ level of danger in Center Montes’ mind rose several notches.
Soon, the other two Inner Sect Elders, serving as inspectors for this ’Hunting Assessnt,’ proactively approached Trevor Baillie to greet him, their attitudes overwhelmingly enthusiastic.
"Elder Trevor."
At this point, Center Montes and other inner sect disciples bowed respectfully to Trevor Baillie as well.
"Junior Brother Wyatt."
The two Inner Sect Elders quickly turned their attention to Wyatt Barnes, initiating a greeting.
This scene caused envy, jealousy, and resentnt to flash across the faces of the group of Inner Sect disciples. Yet, they could only acquiesce, for Wyatt Barnes didn’t rely possess extraordinary talent in Martial Dao but was also blessed with uncanny fortune.
Having Trevor Baillie as his ’Senior Brother,’ Wyatt could practically roam unchallenged within the Moon Radiance Sect!
"Let us depart."
As Trevor Baillie gave the word, Willy Chapman issued orders, and the group grandly marched out of the Moon Radiance Sect’s mountain gates.
After leaving the mountain gates, the group ascended into the air, heading toward the location of the ’Hunting Assessnt.’
Shortly after the group had departed, within the inner sect area of the Moon Radiance Sect, a spacious mansion stood.
Evander Mullins sat by the stone table in the courtyard, lightly tapping on its surface with his fingers. "By now, Wyatt Barnes must have set out for the ’Hunting Assessnt,’ wouldn’t he?"
"This is a golden opportunity... let’s hope the Shadow Mountain Black Market doesn’t disappoint
again this ti."
As Evander muttered these words, a sharp, murderous light flickered in his eyes.
"Moreover, there’s that ’Tabo Garcia’... So many years have passed, and it’s ti I settle things with him once and for all. I once thought letting him live wouldn’t stir up much trouble, but who could’ve expected him to take on soone as monstrous as Wyatt Barnes as his disciple!"
Killing intent flared visibly in Evander’s gaze. Monts later, he rose to his feet, ready to leave.
"Master!"
At that mont, a figure approached him directly—it was Kai Simmons.
Kai carried a tray in his hands with a bowl of broth atop it. "Master, I’ve made this Jade Cleansing Broth for you. Please drink it while it’s hot."
"You’re thoughtful. Unlike that waste of a disciple, Quentin Campbell, who has never once made
a bowl of broth," Evander remarked, clearly satisfied with Kai Simmons.
From the mont Kai entered his tutelage, not only had he cultivated diligently, but every few days, he would personally cook for him, making a bowl of broth each ti without repeating the recipe.
After finishing the bowl of broth from Kai Simmons, a sudden idea struck Evander Mullins.
"Kai Simmons, you’re coming with
on a trip."
Evander addressed Kai Simmons.
"Yes, Master."
Kai didn’t question where Evander was taking him and agreed imdiately.
"Aren’t you curious where I’m taking you?"
Evander asked.
"Wherever Master wishes to take , I shall follow. Even if it’s to a mountain of blades or a volcano, I wouldn’t so much as frown."
Kai responded resolutely.
"Haha... Excellent! Excellent! The gravest mistake I made in life was taking Quentin Campbell as a disciple; the wisest decision was accepting you as my pupil,"
Evander laughed heartily, clearly pleased with Kai’s answer.
"Co! I’ll take you back to Hill Mountain City."
With that, Evander strode out the door.
Hill Mountain City!
Upon hearing Evander’s words, Kai Simmons’ heart trembled.
He vaguely sensed Evander’s intention for this trip.
And he knew this all tied closely to Wyatt Barnes’ ’rise.’
But after taking a deep breath, Kai still followed Evander.
So ti ago, news about Wyatt Barnes becoming the Junior Brother of the Moon Radiance Sect’s Inner Sect Elder ’Trevor Baillie’ had reached Hill Mountain City’s city lord’s mansion.
It left Hill Mountain City’s City Lord ’Tabo Garcia’ stunned for half a day before he finally regained his composure.
"He... was acknowledged as Elder Trevor Baillie’s Junior Brother?"
Tabo Garcia was filled with both shock and delight.
By the end of it, a jubilant smile spread across his face, and tears of joy even stread down his cheeks.
They were tears of happiness.
As an outer sect steward appointed by the Moon Radiance Sect, Tabo García himself was once a disciple of the sect and naturally understood who Elder Trevor Baillie was.
To him, Trevor Baillie was a lofty, insurmountable mountain—an existence he had to look up to.
Back in the day, even breathing too loud in Trevor Baillie’s presence terrified him, lest he provoke the Elder’s displeasure.
And now, upon learning his disciple ’Wyatt Barnes’ was acknowledged as Trevor Baillie’s ’Junior Brother,’ how could he not rejoice?
"He broke through to Saint Realm?"
After a while, Tabo Garcia received another piece of news from the Moon Radiance Sect.
This news claid that Wyatt Barnes had already broken through to the ’Saint Realm.’
"No wonder Elder Trevor Baillie would acknowledge him as his Junior Brother... He must have seen the extraordinary talent in him long ago. How laughable that I once wished to take him as a disciple and have him call
’Master!’ Laughable! Utterly laughable!"
Muttering to himself, Tabo Garcia’s face bore a self-mocking expression.
Still, above all, he was filled with joy for Wyatt Barnes.
"With Elder Trevor Baillie as his ’pillar,’ Evander Mullins shouldn’t dare act recklessly... As for Linus Cloud and Baer Bear, with Wyatt’s care, they should also remain safe and sound."
Thinking this, Tabo Garcia let out a sigh of relief.
In the ensuing days, Tabo Garcia’s mood was uplifted; he felt as though years of gloom weighing on his heart had been lifted significantly.
Of course, such peaceful days didn’t last long.
"Tabo Garcia!!"
With a thunderous voice echoing above the city lord’s mansion in Hill Mountain City, Tabo Garcia, deep in cultivation, felt his expression shift drastically.
This voice was one he knew all too well—so familiar that it was impossible to ever forget.
"Evander Mullins!"
Taking a deep breath, Tabo Garcia’s face darkened considerably; he never expected his cruel forr master, Evander Mullins, to co looking for him at this ti.
Still, he vaguely realized that Evander’s sudden arrival was most likely related to Wyatt Barnes.
Perhaps, Wyatt had pressured him.
Considering this, Tabo Garcia’s expression softened slightly, and a smirk tinged with satisfaction crept onto his lips. "Evander Mullins, are you afraid now?"
When Tabo Garcia stepped out of his room, ascending to the skies, he found that Evander wasn’t alone. Another figure stood by him, a person Tabo Garcia knew all too well.
"Kai Simmons."
Staring at Kai Simmons, who stood in the air beside Evander, Tabo Garcia felt his heart tremble inexplicably.
Kai Simmons was once the disciple Tabo Garcia had valued most, possessing exceptional talent—a genius far beyond any Hill Mountain City had seen before Wyatt Barnes.
Because of this, Tabo Garcia had poured much effort into nurturing him.
Yet the end result was rely crafting "clothing" for Evander Mullins.
Now, seeing Kai Simmons standing tall, he realized Kai must have already broken through to the ’Saint Realm.’ Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to ignore the anti-flight formation covering Hill Mountain City.
The anti-flight formation restricted all Taoist Cultivators and Martial Artists below the ’Saint Realm.’
Only those above the Saint Realm could traverse the skies freely.
