Chapter 2170: Chapter 2170: Keer
"There’s another piece of news... However, that news is likely just a ’false report.’"
Standing not far from the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect, ’Lofty Don,’ the Vice Sect Leader hesitated for a mont before speaking.
"What news?"
Lofty Don asked with interest.
"This news is also about Wyatt Barnes... It’s said that Wyatt Barnes, in Sin City, killed one of the four Great Dharma Kings of the Mysterious Buddha Sect, the Golden Lion King ’Steve Simpson,’ with just three strikes!"
The Vice Sect Leader said.
"Three strikes to kill Steve Simpson?"
Upon hearing this, Lofty Don raised an eyebrow, "If I rember correctly... that Steve Simpson from the Mysterious Buddha Sect, even when viewed across the entire Martial Dao Sacred Land, is considered a top figure among the existences of the Seventh Transformation of the Saint Immortal. To kill him with three strikes would require a strength above the ’Eighth Transformation of the Saint Immortal,’ which is almost impossible!"
"That’s what everyone thinks."
The Vice Sect Leader nodded, "And because of that, not many people believe this news... While Wyatt Barnes is undoubtedly gifted, claiming he can now kill Steve Simpson with three strikes is certainly an absurd and preposterous tale!"
Lofty Don nodded in agreent.
He too had looked into Wyatt Barnes and knew that it wasn’t likely for Wyatt to have gained the strength to kill Steve Simpson with just three strikes in a re three years!
"Now that the impending invasion of the Demon Race has been confird, it’s crucial for you to make more preparations... Over the three years, the Demon Race must have already taken root in the ’Lower Domain’ of our Martial Dao Sacred Land. It won’t be long before the Demon Race will inevitably establish a ’cross-domain teleportation array,’ and a legion of demons will follow into the Upper Domain."
Lofty Don spoke with a wary expression: "Before that happens, our Fire Worship Sect must be ready for anything, preparing to strike!"
"Yes, Sect Leader."
The Vice Sect Leader replied respectfully but, after responding, did not leave. Instead, he hesitated as if wanting to say sothing more.
"Is there sothing else?"
Lofty Don asked.
"Sect Leader."
Taking a deep breath, the Vice Sect Leader gathered the courage to speak, "As I understand, after you broke through, you brought both the Saintess and her mother from the Enforcent Hall to your place of cultivation... May I ask when you intend to issue the order to deal with the Saintess and her mother?"
"Over at the Enforcent Hall, several Vice Hall Masters have been expressing their dissatisfaction."
Towards the end, the Vice Sect Leader added with a wry smile.
"Several Vice Hall Masters? Dissatisfied?"
Lofty Don chuckled coldly, "Their Hall Master hasn’t even said anything; what are they anxious about? Since when are my actions open to their critique?"
"Go tell them... anyone dissatisfied with this matter is welco to speak directly to ! Otherwise, have them let
know, and I’ll go find them!"
By the end of the sentence, Lofty Don’s tone carried a hint of anger.
The Vice Sect Leader was startled and broke into a cold sweat, quickly explaining: "Sect Leader, they were rely asking offhandedly, with no intention of escalating the matter... Since you already have a plan, there’s naturally no need to concern yourself with them."
anwhile, he couldn’t help but reflect:
The Sect Leader, it seems, truly does not wish to punish the Saintess...
A reincarnated Goddess?
Had the Sect Leader truly succumbed to madness?
"Luckily, the Sect Leader is otherwise normal..."
Upon this thought, the Vice Sect Leader felt a sense of relief.
The Fire Worship Sect’s Sect Leader was the Sect’s ’backbone,’ the ’Guardian Deity.’ If anything happened to him, the Fire Worship Sect would inevitably decline, possibly to the point of destruction!
"Wait!"
Just as the Vice Sect Leader was about to take his leave, Lofty Don called him back.
"Does the Sect Leader have any further instructions?"
The Vice Sect Leader halted and once again respectfully looked towards Lofty Don.
"Issue a public statent in my na."
Lofty Don looked at the Vice Sect Leader and said, "The statent should invite Wyatt Barnes to return to the Fire Worship Sect... Moreover, promise him that as long as he returns, no one in the Sect will covet the super sacred artifact ’Demon Sealing Monunt’ in his possession!"
"If he is unwilling to believe, he may hide the ’Demon Sealing Monunt’ sowhere outside and return to the Fire Worship Sect alone... At that ti, I, Lofty Don, as the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect, am willing to make a ’Thunder Punishnt Oath,’ to witness the promise I make to him!"
With these words, Lofty Don revealed his eager desire for Wyatt Barnes to return to the Fire Worship Sect.
"Sect Leader... is a re Wyatt Barnes worth all this effort on your part?"
The Vice Sect Leader was taken aback.
"A re Wyatt Barnes is certainly not worth it."
Lofty Don replied indifferently, "But the ’Demon Sealing Monunt’ in his possession is. As long as he is a disciple of our Sect, to us, he and the ’Demon Sealing Monunt’ offer a significant advantage!"
"Furthermore, if the Demon Race invades the Upper Domain, attacking our Fire Worship Sect... I’m certain he would also be willing to lend
the ’Demon Sealing Monunt.’"
"With my current strength, using the ’Demon Sealing Monunt’... not a single Demon Race expert below the half-step immortal level would withstand even a single round with !"
Speaking towards the end, Lofty Don’s eyes were also flashing with a sharp glint.
In his view:
As long as he can wield the ’Demon Sealing Monunt’ at critical monts, a super sacred weapon that is the nesis of the Demon Race, it doesn’t matter to him who holds the ’Demon Sealing Monunt’.
The significance of the Demon Sealing Monunt to him is just to deal with the Demon Race.
Once the Demon Race is repelled, the Demon Sealing Monunt in his hands is nothing but ’junk’, completely useless!
For this reason, he did not oppose Wyatt Barnes possessing the ’Demon Sealing Monunt’.
Hearing Lofty Don’s words, the Vice Sect Leader suddenly realized, then turned to leave after receiving the order.
And Lofty Don also returned to his place of cultivation, a room in his mansion located on a solitary island, which was the place he usually lived and cultivated.
At the sa ti.
In the mansion serving as Lofty Don’s place of cultivation, the Fire Worship Sect Leader, there were a series of large courtyards in the eastern section.
These courtyards were places Lofty Don used for eting guests.
Of course, those who were invited to reside here by Lofty Don had a very limited number across the entire Martial Dao Sacred Land.
Currently, two rooms in one of the courtyards were occupied, not only by a pair of identical twin sisters but also by an adorable little girl about eight or nine years old with two braids.
The twin sisters were Wyatt Barnes’s wife ’Keer’ and Keer’s sister ’Paisley Flores’.
As for the little girl, she was Wyatt Barnes and Keer’s daughter ’Sienna Barnes’.
"Luna... I noticed the Sect Leader seed to show a bit of respect when facing you. Do you know why?"
Paisley Flores looked at Keer with a face full of surprise.
She already knew that their Fire Worship Sect Leader had reached the ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’, which made her even more shocked.
A ’Saint Immortal Ninth Transformation’ powerhouse was as rare as a phoenix in the Martial Dao Sacred Land.
When facing her twin sister, not only did he not display the deanor expected from a superior to a subordinate, he showed a respect typical of a subordinate to a superior.
This not only shocked her but also left her bewildered.
"I don’t know."
Keer held the sleeping Sienna Barnes, tired from playing, and shook her head slightly. She was also puzzled, "Earlier when he ca to the Enforcent Hall, it was my first ti seeing him... I originally thought when he erged from seclusion, he would order my and Sienna’s execution according to the Fire Worship Sect rules."
"Yet unexpectedly, when he saw , he not only showed no anger but was rather cautious, as if afraid to offend ."
Hearing Keer’s words, Paisley Flores remained silent.
After a mont of silence, Paisley Flores sighed, "I thought that by not cooperating and revealing the true identity of your man, he would punish
according to the Fire Worship Sect rules... But unexpectedly, just with a word from you, he released
from the Enforcent Hall!"
"It seems that he indeed sees you as so ’reincarnation of a goddess’... Otherwise, I can’t think of any other explanation."
Saying this, Paisley Flores looked at Keer, scrutinizing her for a long ti, but still couldn’t find any ’special trait’ in her sister besides looking identical to her.
"Reincarnation of a goddess?"
Upon hearing Paisley’s words, Keer was noncommittal.
She found such a claim to be ridiculous and baseless.
Moreover, as her twin sister had ntioned before, only the Fire Worship Sect Leader believed her to be the ’reincarnation of a goddess’.
Others, including the Three Great Protectors, the two Sect Leaders, and other high-ranking officials of the Fire Worship Sect did not endorse this view.
"Sister, sister..."
Suddenly, along with a burst of hurried voice, a purple bird flew in from outside.
After flying in, it transford into a girl in a purple robe.
This girl in purple robes was actually the human form of the super Divine Beast ’Alia Tyler’ beside Paisley Flores, and was closest to Paisley Flores.
Even when Paisley Flores went to the ’Lower Domain’, she followed her.
"Purple, what’s the matter?"
Paisley Flores looked at the girl in purple and asked with confusion.
"Sister, there’s news about Wyatt Barnes..."
Now, the girl in purple was transmitting a ssage to Paisley Flores.
Being in the Fire Worship Sect Leader’s place of cultivation, she worried that her spoken words would be overheard by the powerful Sect Leader with imnse Divine Abilities.
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing the words of the girl in purple, Paisley Flores’s eyes lit up, and before the girl in purple could continue, she imdiately transmitted a ssage to Keer, "Keer, there’s news of him!"
Hearing Paisley Flores’s transmission, Keer’s body trembled with excitent.
She naturally knew who her sister referred to as ’him’!
The man who, for her, traveled from the Lower Domain to the Upper Domain and infiltrated the Fire Worship Sect, who was also the man she was committed to for life, and the father of her daughter!
