Chapter 1889: Chapter 1889: dicine King ’Sutton Davidson
"He’s watching you in the shadows!"
Just as the old man was secretly observing Wyatt Barnes and his companions, Elder Fire’s voice tily reached Wyatt’s ears.
Instantly, Wyatt secretly conveyed to Augustine Landon and Oliver Watson, "We can start the act now!"
Acting!
Upon hearing Wyatt’s ssage, both Augustine and Oliver couldn’t help but feel a jolt of excitent.
"The expert who just snatched the spiritual herbs and dicines was unbelievably fast... I barely had a chance to react before he took all the spiritual herbs and dicines away."
Wyatt looked at Augustine and Oliver, seemingly shocked and incredulous, as if things really were as he said.
"Thankfully, after he knocked us back, we didn’t try to stop him again... The look in his eyes at the ti suggested that if we had tried to stop him, we might have been killed!"
Augustine still looked shaken.
"He’s really powerful... I wonder if the owner of this Herb Garden is his match. If they can’t catch up to him, those spiritual herbs and dicines will be gone for nothing!"
Oliver added in a tily manner.
The three of them chatted, exchanging words casually and convincingly, making the old man hiding in the shadows feel reassured.
The next mont, the old man flew forward, heading south.
Whoosh!
The old man moved swiftly, leaving a long "heavenly path" in the sky at a terrifying speed!
"How many years has it been... It’s been years since anyone dared to infuriate , Sutton Davidson, like this! No matter who it is, if you dare to take what belongs to , Sutton Davidson, you will die without a doubt!"
The old man’s eyes glinted with a chilling light, and his voice carried a bone-chilling coldness.
Sutton Davidson!
If there were any indigenous people from the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land here, they’d be astonished upon hearing the old man’s na.
Sutton Davidson, the dicine King, is a powerful loose cultivator renowned in the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land. Not only is he a prospective saint refiner skilled in the Pill dicine path, but he also ranks within the top three hundred of the Extre Saint Ranking!
Yet, at this mont, Sutton couldn’t have dread he was being played by three fellows from the Lower Domain!
The reason he didn’t realize he was being deceived was that he couldn’t have imagined that Wyatt and his companions were watching his divine sense and were aware of him hiding in the shadows from the start.
Sutton was very confident in his strength.
Of course, this happened because he couldn’t have foreseen soone like Elder Fire assisting Wyatt.
If he had known about Elder Fire’s existence, he would have made Wyatt and his companions swear a Thunder Punishnt Oath, rather than personally verifying that they weren’t the thieves.
For soone at Sutton’s level, handling things personally had beco second nature.
Unless there was absolutely no other choice, they wouldn’t imdiately think of a Thunder Punishnt Oath.
Otherwise, Wyatt and his companions would have been in big trouble this ti.
Just as Sutton left, Wyatt, who had been warned by Elder Fire, imdiately signaled to Augustine and Oliver, "He went south, so he probably won’t co back soon... Let’s head west first! We should move as fast as possible... travel for a month, then plan further."
"Alright!"
Now, both Augustine and Oliver followed Wyatt’s lead without hesitation.
Once the three of them took to the sky, they headed west without looking back, not daring to stop for even a mont.
"Luckily, that old guy only checked our storage rings and watched us from the shadows... If he had made us swear a Thunder Punishnt Oath, we would be in deep trouble."
On the way, Augustine felt a bit relieved.
"Indeed."
Oliver agreed, breaking into a cold sweat as Augustine ntioned it.
"But I bet he never imagined that we could loot his Herb Garden while he wasn’t watching. Also, he surely wouldn’t have thought that Brother Wyatt could detect him hiding and spy on us, or that we’d put on an act for him at the right mont."
Augustine spoke this while looking at Wyatt with admiration in his eyes.
"Exactly."
Oliver nodded in agreent.
Even now, he couldn’t understand how Wyatt managed to grasp the timing of the Herb Garden owner’s surveillance. He didn’t think Wyatt could detect the owner’s divine sense.
Knowing that even he, with a cultivation level higher than Wyatt’s, who had stronger divine sense, couldn’t detect the owner’s divine sense.
Nonetheless, Wyatt didn’t say, so both he and Augustine sensibly refrained from asking further.
After all, everyone has their own secrets.
Listening to Augustine and Oliver’s conversation, Wyatt, although silent, broke into a cold sweat. It was indeed a worry he had had earlier.
"Elder Fire, why were you so sure earlier that he wouldn’t make us swear a Thunder Punishnt Oath?"
Wyatt couldn’t help but ask Elder Fire.
Previously, he also ntioned to Elder Fire that he was worried the owner of the Herb Garden might make them swear a Thunder Punishnt oath, but Elder Fire confidently assured him that the owner definitely wouldn’t require such an oath, and encouraged Wyatt Barnes to go ahead with his plan.
Even though he still felt uneasy, Wyatt Barnes decided to take a chance!
Now, he has won his gamble, successfully escaping the Herb Garden and breaking free from the owner’s control.
Just earlier, due to overwhelming joy, he montarily forgot about this concern.
But now, reminded by Augustine Landon and Oliver Watson, he recalled the matter and couldn’t help but question Elder Fire.
"Because of habitual thinking."
Elder Fire replied.
"Habitual thinking?"
Wyatt Barnes asked, confused.
"To be precise, it’s the habitual thinking of the strong! In the eyes of the Herb Garden’s owner, you three are nothing more than ants. When he wants information from you, he has his thods and doesn’t need to rely on the ’Thunder Punishnt oath.’
Elder Fire continued to explain, and then asked, "Imagine if you were him, facing the sa situation with three ant-like beings, would you make them swear a Thunder Punishnt oath?"
Upon hearing this, Wyatt Barnes remained silent for a mont.
The next instant, he imagined himself as the owner of the Herb Garden, facing the sa scenario with three insignificant existences... and realized he would instinctively use his own thods to uncover the truth, rather than relying on a Thunder Punishnt oath!
"He didn’t anticipate that I would have your help, Elder Fire... Otherwise, he would definitely regret his actions!"
Realizing this, Wyatt Barnes understood what the so-called ’habitual thinking of the strong’ entailed: it was a kind of arrogant self-conceit, blindly confident in oneself!
"Besides, who would expect that you have the Jewel Tower to hide ’stolen goods.’"
Elder Fire chuckled.
"No matter what, it’s thanks to you, Elder Fire, that we managed to escape this ti... Elder Fire, thank you."
Wyatt Barnes sincerely expressed his gratitude to Elder Fire.
Although he is now the master of the Jewel Tower, and Elder Fire, being its Tower Spirit, can be considered his subject... he never treated Elder Fire like a subordinate, always seeing him as a respected elder.
And facts proved he was right.
At least, all along, Elder Fire has been helping him unreservedly, never holding anything back.
As Wyatt Barnes and his companions traveled west for over ten days, Sutton Davidson, who had been heading south, ultimately failed to catch up with those who looted his Herb Garden, not even uncovering the slightest trace.
"Could it be that person’s strength is not inferior to mine?"
Hovering in the air, looking down at the vast earth below, Sutton Davidson’s expression was extrely grim.
Thinking it over, he found it improbable!
Across the Martial Dao Sacred Land’s Upper Domain, there are no more than two hundred people who match his strength, all renowned formidable figures on the "Extre Saint Ranking."
Those powerful figures wouldn’t bother with such sneaky deeds!
Moreover, in their eyes, the batch of Spiritual Grass and Pill dicine he grows is decent but not worth the risk of offending him.
Within the Martial Dao Sacred Land’s Upper Domain, in terms of strength, he ranks within the top three hundred.
However, as a ’quasi-immortal grade Saint Refiner,’ he stands among the top three in the Upper Domain’s Pill Tao Saint Refiners!
To offend him for re Spiritual Grass and Pill dicine is not worthwhile.
"Could it possibly be that fellow?"
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Sutton Davidson’s eyes as he thought of an adversary, whose strength among his many rivals seed superior to his.
Sutton Davidson soon dismissed this possibility, "No, the location of my current Herb Garden is known to no more than five people across the Upper Domain... That fellow can’t possibly know where my Herb Garden is now. Therefore, only one possibility remains..."
"Those three ants from the Lower Domain have a problem!"
With this thought, Sutton Davidson imdiately turned around.
When he returned to his Herb Garden, he discovered that the three individuals he viewed as ants from the Lower Domain had long left, even after he conducted a thorough search north, west, and east, he found no trace of them.
By now, he was certain those three from the Lower Domain had departed, long gone by now!
"They actually escaped... could it really be their doing?"
Soti later, a cold, predatory light flashed in Sutton Davidson’s eyes.
Until now, Sutton Davidson only suspected Wyatt Barnes and his companions and couldn’t confirm the looting of his batch of Spiritual Grass and Pill dicine was their work.
Firstly, he didn’t believe that Wyatt Barnes and his companions dared act under his watch because he didn’t think they knew when he wasn’t monitoring the Herb Garden.
Secondly, he didn’t think Wyatt Barnes and his companions’ later conversation was an act because he didn’t believe they could detect him hidden in the shadows.
"Nevertheless, even if they didn’t commit this act, daring to disregard my earlier words and leave on their own... if I encounter them again, they will undoubtedly face death!"
In his heart, Sutton Davidson sentenced Wyatt Barnes and his companions to death.
