Chapter 1610: Chapter 1610: Sect Leader of the Netherworld Sect
"Family head, the Netherworld Sect’s stronghold in the Capital City has been massacred by an unknown strongman... Vice Sect Leader Samuel Campbell, Pond Thomsen, and two elders of the Netherworld Sect, all killed."
Jordan Swayer ca in and imdiately spoke to Micah Swayer, speaking at a rapid pace.
And within his tone was mixed a certain degree of delight.
The Netherworld Sect, to so extent, could be said to stand opposed to their lineage.
This setback for the Netherworld Sect is undoubtedly a favorable event for their lineage.
Upon hearing Jordan Swayer’s words, Micah Swayer looked towards his son Beau Swayer, who happened to be looking back at him.
At this mont, the father and son both saw the sa information reflected in each other’s gaze.
"Mr. Barnes!"
In the next mont, the two almost spoke simultaneously.
"Mr. Barnes? What happened to Mr. Barnes?"
Jordan Swayer heard their voices and was montarily confused.
"Grandfather Jordan, you just said... Vice Sect Leader ’Samuel Campbell’ of the Netherworld Sect was also killed?"
Beau Swayer couldn’t help but ask.
"Yes."
Jordan Swayer nodded, "Samuel Campbell is indeed dead, and it seems like his head was directly cut off... many suspect it was a Saint Realm strongman who did it, only such a powerful person could kill Samuel Campbell so easily. After all, Samuel Campbell’s ranking on the Heavenly List is only thirty, but that was from over ten years ago."
"The reason he has remained at this ranking is that he hasn’t challenged those in the top rankings... many speculate that his strength, if placed on the current Heavenly List, should be in the top ten."
Jordan Swayer continued.
"Indeed, his strength is likely stronger than that of Miss Roro from the Floating Fla Sect."
Beau Swayer nodded in agreent.
"It seems, Mr. Barnes’ strength is really formidable if even Samuel Campbell died at his hands."
Micah Swayer lanted, "With Mr. Barnes’ power, he could easily break into the top three of the Heavenly List."
"Yes."
Beau Swayer nodded, deeply agreeing.
"What?!"
Micah Swayer spoke without intent for others to hear, but Jordan Swayer couldn’t help but widen his eyes, "Family head, do you an... the person who killed Samuel Campbell was Mr. Barnes?"
"Beau, tell Elder Crawford what you just told ."
Micah Swayer instructed Beau Swayer.
Soon, as Beau Swayer began to speak, Jordan Swayer understood the whole story.
"Mr. Barnes’ elder brother and his friends were imprisoned by the Netherworld Sect?"
Jordan Swayer furrowed his brow, "Indeed, we should help Mr. Barnes with this matter... but since we’re dealing with the Netherworld Sect, rash action could turn the family upside down! Furthermore, with such a significant event happening at the Netherworld Sect’s Capital City base, Hunter Swayer’s lineage will likely suspect our side."
"Even if they don’t openly confront us now, they will certainly keep an eye on us... if we help Mr. Barnes at this ti by demanding people from the Netherworld Sect, they might openly confront us, leading the Swayer Family into internal war."
Internal war!
These two words are nothing short of a disaster for a family like the Swayer Family.
In the history of Fletcher Kingdom, nurous seventh-rank powers not weaker than the Swayer Family have either declined into obscurity or deteriorated into eighth, even ninth-rank powers due to internal wars.
Therefore, any power will try to avoid internal wars as much as possible.
Because once an internal war breaks out, inevitably, it’s a case of ’mutual destruction’ where one’s enemies reap the benefits!
Once a power is exhausted by internal conflicts, forr adversaries will surely seize the opportunity to strike when it is down.
"Mr. Barnes doesn’t want us to interfere in this matter."
Beau Swayer added.
"Mr. Barnes said he would surprise us... could he have ant killing Samuel Campbell and the others?"
Micah Swayer wondered.
"It should be about this affair."
Jordan Swayer nodded.
"With such a major incident happening at the Netherworld Sect’s base, Hunter Swayer’s lineage will undoubtedly investigate imdiately... Beau, go check if Mr. Barnes has returned."
Micah Swayer instructed Beau Swayer.
Beau Swayer responded and left.
anwhile, on the other side of the Swayer Family estate, in a spacious courtyard, many people gathered together.
Among them, a middle-aged man led the group.
If Wyatt Barnes were here, he would instantly recognize the man as the second master of the Swayer Family, Hunter Swayer, whom he had t before.
"Second Master, the Netherworld Sect’s base suddenly experienced such a major event; the situation might not be simple... do you think it was the family head’s side that took action?"
An elderly man looked at Hunter Swayer and spoke.
"I also believe it was the family head’s side that acted... otherwise, why would the Netherworld Sect’s base, which has been in the Capital City for years without trouble, suddenly face such a major incident."
Another middle-aged strong man agreed.
"I think it might not be the hand of the family head... Maybe it’s the enemies of the Netherworld Sect. After all, nine out of ten mbers in the Netherworld Sect are demon cultivators, inherently violent, often offending people. Maybe they just happened to offend a formidable adversary, leading to such a disaster."
A middle-aged scholar spoke tily, his words appeared rather rational.
"There’s indeed this possibility."
The words of the middle-aged scholar received recognition from many.
"Alright, stop arguing... This matter, once Elder Austin returns, can naturally be confird."
Hunter Swayer frowned and interrupted everyone’s discussion.
In front of these people, Hunter Swayer clearly had a certain degree of authority. Once he spoke, the scene imdiately quieted down, so quiet that one might hear a pin drop on the ground.
The ’Elder Austin’ ntioned by Hunter Swayer was also the Supre Elder of the Swayer Family, nad Austin Swayer.
In the Swayer Family, he was a figure equivalent to Lord Jordan.
A quarter of an hour later, a bald old man in gray clothing walked in from outside.
He had sharp eagle-like eyes, and few dared to et his gaze where his eyes traveled.
"Micah Swayer and Lord Jordan did not make a move."
The bald old man was none other than Austin Swayer, who looked at Hunter Swayer and spoke as soon as he entered.
Upon hearing Austin Swayer’s words, Hunter Swayer nodded, simultaneously letting out a sigh of relief.
"Humph! It seems it really was the enemies of the Netherworld Sect seeking trouble... That Netherworld Sect truly knows how to stir up trouble. They lost Samuel Campbell, a half-step Saint Realm expert, without whom the Netherworld Sect has no basis to rise!"
Soon, soone snorted coldly and spoke.
For a mont, dissatisfied voices arose one after another.
As mbers of the faction led by Hunter Swayer, and being core mbers, they naturally knew the connection between the Netherworld Sect and their faction, deeply understanding that their faction and the Netherworld Sect were in the sa boat, and the loss of the Netherworld Sect was also their loss.
"Enough, saying these things now is useless... The most urgent task is to find out who is against the Netherworld Sect."
Hunter Swayer said sowhat impatiently.
anwhile, while Hunter Swayer’s faction was in turmoil because of the happenings at the Netherworld Sect’s base, Wyatt Barnes was already following Trevor Baillie and arrived outside the Netherworld Sect’s stronghold.
"Junior brother, what are you planning?"
Trevor Baillie looked at Wyatt Barnes and asked.
"Senior brother, wait here for ... I’ll scout ahead, then co back and we can rescue Uncle Roro and the others together."
Wyatt Barnes said to Trevor Baillie.
After speaking, without waiting for Trevor Baillie’s response, Wyatt Barnes moved, disappearing in front of Trevor Baillie as if vanishing into thin air.
Seeing this, Trevor Baillie couldn’t help but smile wryly, but was also helpless, only able to stay there and wait.
The Netherworld Sect’s base was not enveloped by the ’anti-air formation’, so Wyatt Barnes entered as smoothly as fish in water, without encountering any obstacles, easily infiltrating deep into the eastern area of the Netherworld Sect’s base.
On the way, Wyatt Barnes learned from Trevor Baillie.
The two Saint Realm experts of the Netherworld Sect, the Sect Leader of Yin and Yang Sect and the Supre Elder of the Netherworld Sect, were both cultivating in the eastern area of the Netherworld Sect’s base because that area had the most abundant spiritual energy within the entire base, and the six-grade holy stones that appeared in the seventh-grade holy stone veins of the Netherworld Sect were mostly in the east.
Because of this, the spiritual energy in that area was particularly rich.
Wyatt Barnes ca to the eastern area of the Netherworld Sect’s base, as if entering an unoccupied realm.
Although this was partly due to the lack of people in the eastern area, more so it was because Wyatt Barnes’ current strength was far beyond what it was in the past, and ordinary people couldn’t discover his whereabouts.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes sensed a powerful spiritual force appear out of thin air in the void, sweeping towards him aggressively.
"Divine Sense!"
In an instant, Wyatt Barnes identified it as a divine sense, a divine sense of a Saint Realm expert.
"Who are you? Why are you trespassing into my Netherworld Sect?"
At the sa ti, a clear voice reached Wyatt Barnes’ ears, the voice was loud, as if coming from all directions.
"Are you the Sect Leader of Netherworld Sect or the Supre Elder of Netherworld Sect?"
Upon hearing this voice, Wyatt Barnes remained unchanged in expression, and asked calmly.
"Hmm? You, an Entering the Saint Realm martial artist, are quite brave, knowing I’m the Sect Leader of Netherworld Sect, yet still so calm."
The loud voice ca again, mixed with a few traces of surprise in the tone.
"What if you are the Sect Leader of Netherworld Sect? Can you devour ?"
Wyatt Barnes continued to speak calmly.
Whuush!
At this mont, as if a gust of wind blew through, not far in front of Wyatt Barnes, ripples spread in the void, and a tall figure appeared out of thin air there.
Of course, not truly appearing out of thin air.
With the slight operation of the ’Mysterious Eye’ by Wyatt Barnes, he faintly captured the trajectory of the newcor flying there.
The tall figure wore a black long robe embroidered with red edges, a tree crown on the head, making the whole person appear extrely noble.
Upon closer look, it was a middle-aged man with a face like jade, sword brows and starry eyes; it could be seen that he was surely a graceful and handso young master when he was young.
