Chapter 1535: Chapter 1535: A Battle Without Gunpowder
"I’ve only been here twice, and it’s been three years since the last ti... It’s normal for my mory to be a bit fuzzy."
Wyatt Barnes casually replied to Emperor End.
After exchanging a few words with Emperor End, Wyatt Barnes suddenly exclaid, "That’s right! This is the place."
From his tone, it seed as if he had discovered a new continent.
And Emperor End’s attention was successfully drawn to him.
Emperor End watched as Wyatt Barnes walked into a cluster of seaweed, inexplicably raised his foot, and stamped it down onto the seabed.
Boom!!
With a loud bang, centered at the spot where Wyatt Barnes stamped, a clear shock wave rippled through the water, causing the seawater to surge in all directions before finally calming down.
However, Emperor End’s attention was not on this disturbance.
His gaze was fixed on the distance, where a giant tower had appeared out of nowhere, shaking the surrounding seawater away as it erged.
The seawater crashed against the True Origin shield around Emperor End’s body, constantly dispersing, but Emperor End paid no attention to these as his gaze was entirely captivated by the appearance of that giant tower in the distance.
The tower had seven layers, standing like a giant beast.
The most important thing was that Emperor End could clearly sense the aura emanating from the tower.
This aura gave him a profound sense of mystery, even causing an inexplicable trembling from the depths of his heart.
"It’s this tower."
At this mont, Wyatt Barnes spoke, "Back then, when Emperor Yonah and I entered, we didn’t dare venture deeper... However, even so, we found many divine artifacts etched with Three-Star Saint Markings on the outskirts."
"The places we’ve been seem to be just the ’outskirts’ of this tower, not deeper inside... At that ti, Emperor Yonah told
there might be more treasures inside."
Wyatt Barnes said to Emperor End.
"Do you know the origin of this tower?"
Emperor End asked.
"I do."
Wyatt Barnes nodded, "When Emperor Yonah and I entered just a short while, we discovered so relics... Various signs indicated that the one who left this tower was nad ’Breezy Wind.’
"By the way, his signature claid to be so ’Sword Saint.’
As he spoke, Wyatt Barnes added.
Breezy Wind?
Sword Saint?
"Sword Saint Breezy Wind!"
Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Emperor End’s pupils suddenly contracted, showing an expression of horror, "Are you... Are you sure that person left this signature?"
"I’m sure."
Wyatt Barnes nodded, anwhile, he asked in puzzlent, "Could it be that you know him?"
Faced with Wyatt Barnes’ inquiry, Emperor End did not open his mouth. His emotions were surging, and his eyes glead with a vibrant light as he stared fixedly at the seven-layer giant tower in the distance.
"Sword Saint Breezy Wind... To think it’s the relic left by Sword Saint Breezy Wind! It is said that Sword Saint Breezy Wind was once the top powerhouse in the Martial Dao Sacred Land, and in his era, none across the three sects and nine clans of the Martial Dao Sacred Land could withstand a single strike of his sword."
At this mont, Emperor End’s heart was beating rapidly, and his excitent was difficult to suppress.
He wasn’t surprised that Wyatt Barnes didn’t know about Sword Saint Breezy Wind.
Because even he had only seen records related to Sword Saint Breezy Wind in so ancient texts of the Dragonsmith Clan, learning that he was a sword cultivator of unparalleled talent, who amazed an era of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.
It is rumored that Sword Saint Breezy Wind left so ’relics’ in the Martial Dao Sacred Land for the destined ones of later generations.
"Could it be that this place is the rumored relic left by Sword Saint Breezy Wind?"
Emperor End’s eyes shone brightly as he stared at the seven-layer tower, just like a hunter who had spotted his prey.
"It seems he has heard of Sword Saint Breezy Wind."
Seeing Emperor End’s expression, Wyatt Barnes breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Proven, his gamble paid off.
Since Emperor End knew of Sword Saint Breezy Wind’s existence, and after his explanation, it seed unlikely he would see through the ’trap’ set for him.
This ’trap’ was a temporary setup by Wyatt Barnes, upon Elder Fire’s suggestion.
In essence, this ’trap’ was simple: to lure Emperor End into the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and let Elder Fire deal with him.
Elder Fire’s prowess had recovered considerably, though far from his peak period, but judging by Elder Fire’s deanor, his strength now was evidently not weaker than Emperor End.
This ’trap,’ while simple to say, was actually fraught with difficulties in execution.
The most critical part was to make Emperor End believe him, thus not resisting the pagoda’s pull, allowing the pagoda to ’draw’ him in.
If he showed any hint of reluctance or vigilance, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda would be unable to draw him in.
And once he didn’t enter the pagoda, the ’trap’ would collapse by itself, leaving Wyatt Barnes’ situation perilous once more, possibly leading to certain death.
Just now, on the way here, Wyatt Barnes was thinking about how to make Emperor End believe his words, so that he would willingly allow himself to be ’absorbed’ into the Jewel Tower.
To achieve this, he even spoke off the cuff, saying that Emperor Yonah’s death was also related to the Jewel Tower.
Moreover, he ntioned that there was a treasure hidden inside the Jewel Tower.
All of this was to lure the enemy deeper in.
In order to make his words more convincing, he thought it over, and ntioned the Sword Saint Breezy Wind, gambling on whether Emperor End had heard of him.
Now it seems he has won the gamble.
Emperor End does indeed know of the Sword Saint Breezy Wind.
"You just said that after you entered this tower, you discovered many holy artifacts engraved with three-star Saint Markings on the periphery?"
Emperor End looked at Wyatt Barnes, his eyes flashing, and asked in a deep voice.
Emperor End was being cautious in his words.
Silently cursing Emperor End for being so cautious, Wyatt Barnes did not hesitate and raised his hand, taking out the personal holy artifact of the Moon Radiance Sect inner elder ’Abu Dunn,’ and handed it to Emperor End. "This is the holy artifact I got from inside then... The holy artifact has one three-star Saint Marking and two two-star Saint Markings."
After observing the holy artifact handed over by Wyatt Barnes for a mont, Emperor End nodded, "There are indeed three-star Saint Markings... But is this really what you obtained from inside the tower?"
Even though Wyatt Barnes proved it with facts, Emperor End remained cautious.
The Dragonsmith Clan is inherently a suspicious group.
As a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon of the royal bloodline of the Dragonsmith Clan, Emperor End is naturally more suspicious than other mbers, with few able to deceive him.
"A person like
coming from a mortal continent, do you think it’s possible to get this holy artifact engraved with three-star Saint Markings from elsewhere?"
Upon hearing Emperor End’s words, Wyatt Barnes smirked self-deprecatingly.
Of course, this was all just an outward show, internally he felt slightly uneasy, not expecting Emperor End to be so cautious.
Even though he had ntioned Sword Saint Breezy Wind, Emperor End still did not fully believe him, consistently appearing calm and careful.
Naturally, Wyatt Barnes knew in his heart that at this mont, he must remain calm and absolutely must not be hasty.
Once he shows a flaw, he loses everything!
When Emperor End asked that question, his gaze locked onto Wyatt Barnes, observing the subtle changes on his face, and when he saw that Wyatt’s self-deprecation didn’t seem fake, he nodded silently.
Wyatt Barnes’ background, which he had thoroughly investigated during his ti on Crescent Island.
"Even my cultivation level owes much to a kind of ’herb’ inside this tower... At that ti, both Emperor Yonah and I consud that herb, afterwards my cultivation improved greatly, Emperor Yonah’s improved greatly too. Three years ago, after consuming the herb, his cultivation reached Small Perfection in the Entering the Saint Realm."
"If he were still alive now, he would surely have reached the Saint Realm."
As he continued, Wyatt Barnes sighed again.
"No wonder your cultivation has improved so rapidly."
Giving Wyatt Barnes a deep look, Emperor End couldn’t help but show a shade of greed in his eyes.
That kind of magical herb moved him too, and perhaps, it would help him.
Wyatt Barnes’ ’background,’ he had thoroughly investigated before, knew Wyatt’s cultivation before leaving Crescent Island, and it had not even broken through the Transcending Mortal Realm.
Three years ago, a martial artist from the mortal continent who hadn’t broken through the Transcending Mortal Realm, three years later, breaks through to Small Perfection in the Entering the Saint Realm.
Upon first eting Wyatt, even Emperor Yonah found it unbelievable.
But the facts lay before him, and he couldn’t help but believe it.
At that ti, he had speculated that Wyatt Barnes might have undergone so ’unusual experience.’
Now it seems that the seven-layer giant tower was his unusual experience.
Now, Emperor End’s doubts in his heart had also diminished considerably.
Of course, this was because, until now, Wyatt Barnes had not shown any flaws.
Every word Wyatt Barnes said was guiding the flow of things, as if answering each of Emperor End’s ’questions’ in his mind.
Of course, these questions were sothing Emperor End hadn’t voiced; it was all Wyatt’s speculation.
At this mont, Wyatt Barnes and Emperor End were engaged in a battle without smoke, a contest of wits.
"It’s a pity that although there are many of those herbs, Emperor Yonah and I found that only consuming the first is effective... For this, we wasted no less than ten herbs. When I left, there were less than ten herbs remaining within."
Seeing a flicker of greed flash through Emperor End’s eyes, Wyatt Barnes continued to guide the flow.
Sure enough, hearing his words, Emperor End’s eyes lit up, silently cursing ’wastrel.’
If initially, when Emperor End first arrived at Crescent Island, he was nearly irrational, killed everyone on the island to vent his anger, making them pay for his son’s death.
Later, however, he cald down, and when discovering Taoi Roro and the others returning to Crescent Island, he didn’t strike against them.
For nearly a year, patiently staying hidden and waiting.
At that ti, he had regained his sanity, wholeheartedly intending to uncover the truth about his son’s death.
Of course, if his son was murdered, he would not let the perpetrator live.
