Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1472: Inner Sect Area

Until Center Montes once again made his vow under the ’Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation,’ Wyatt Barnes finally spared him.

"This speed... it really feels amazing!"

Wyatt, having the power of the three-star Divine Travel Talisman enhancing his speed to rival that of a peak Transcending Mortal Realm expert, started roaming around the Outer Sect region after Center Montes left upon making his vow. His speed was so fast that not even the Outer Sect elders could track him.

However, the three-star Divine Travel Talisman’s effects were limited in duration. After wandering around the Outer Sect for a while, the talisman’s effects wore off, returning Wyatt to his original state.

Meanwhile.

The news of Wyatt defeating Center Montes spread like a storm into the Inner Sect region, making Wyatt gain widespread attention once again.

Center Montes, though just an Outer Sect disciple, was ranked sixty-sixth on the Nine-Sect Alliance’s Earth List. His influence in the Nine-Sect Alliance region even surpassed some ordinary Inner Sect elders in the Moon Radiance Sect.

However, this figure was defeated by Wyatt Barnes, a mere Outer Sect disciple who had joined the sect for a little over three months.

As a result, Wyatt successfully replaced Center Montes and now ranked sixty-sixth on the Earth List.

Center Montes, on the other hand, switched places with Wyatt and was now ranked ninety-ninth on the Earth List.

That position originally belonged to Sail Fenning.

The news of Wyatt’s achievement spread widely in the Inner Sect region, leaving many Inner Sect disciples astonished.

"For the longest time, anyone from Hill Mountain City would end up gaining nothing when dealing with Evander Mullins’ faction. But this Wyatt Barnes managed to make Evander Mullins’ faction suffer—he truly is remarkable."

Many Inner Sect disciples were aware of the conflict between Inner Sect elder Evander Mullins and Hill Mountain City’s City Lord Tabo Garcia, and one by one, they couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.

Rumors about Center Montes being a disciple of Evander Mullins also started circulating.

In conclusion, this time, Evander Mullins lost face tremendously.

In the Inner Sect region, within Evander Mullins’ residence.

Smash!!

Enraged to the extreme, Evander Mullins raised his hand and struck a stone table before him, shattering it into pieces. "A three-star Divine Travel Talisman, a million merit points? Such a greedy appetite! Doesn’t he fear choking himself to death?!"

"His appetite has always been huge. It’s said that over a month ago, he even earned nearly two million merit points."

Center Montes sighed.

"Uncle, I know you’re unwilling to accept this. But I’ve made my vow."

Center Montes looked at Evander Mullins, reminding him.

"Little Montes, don’t worry. Your uncle won’t force you to break your vow... It’s just a three-star Divine Travel Talisman and a million merit points. Your uncle can handle it."

Evander Mullins took a deep breath, his expression softening slightly as he looked at Center Montes. However, the fiery anger deep in his eyes remained unabated.

"But Wyatt Barnes, truly bold, dared to bring you to this state."

Looking at Center Montes, whose face on both sides was still somewhat swollen, Evander Mullins said with hatred, "Little Montes, are you truly willing to let this go?"

"Uncle, I know what you mean. But I’ve made a vow that I’ll never confront him again. So, please, don’t make things difficult for me. I don’t want to be struck and killed by the Thunder Punishment from the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation vow."

Center Montes knew exactly what Evander Mullins intended—it was nothing but pushing him further into conflict with Wyatt Barnes.

At this moment, he was already regretting agreeing to Evander Mullins earlier.

If not, he wouldn’t have lost so much face.

Although he suffered no actual loss, his disgrace was enough to lower his status in the Outer Sect significantly.

"I understand you made a vow, but Deputy Sect Master Graham..."

Evander Mullins’ eyes glimmered, but before he could finish speaking, Center Montes interrupted him, "Uncle, whatever my master decides to do is not for me to interfere. Since I’ve vowed not to confront Wyatt Barnes again, I naturally cannot instigate my master. Otherwise, the oath’s judgment will surely view me as breaking the vow, thereby exacting Thunder Punishment upon me."

"Don’t worry. I’ll take this matter to Deputy Sect Master Graham myself. I believe Deputy Sect Master Graham won’t let someone who humiliated his direct disciple off so easily."

Evander Mullins ended with a frosty smile.

Center Montes glanced indifferently at him but didn’t say anything further. If things played out this way, it wouldn’t mean breaking his vow.

"Uncle, about the three-star Divine Travel Talisman and the million merit points..."

Center Montes turned to Evander Mullins, reminding him, intentionally or otherwise.

"I’ll transfer you 1.4 million merit points... As for the three-star Divine Travel Talisman, go buy it yourself from the Hall of Merit. Consider the extra hundred thousand merit points as compensation from your uncle for putting you in this situation with Wyatt Barnes."

Evander Mullins swiftly took out a crystal card and transferred 1.4 million merit points to Center Montes without hesitation.

"Alright."

Center Montes nodded in satisfaction at Evander Mullins’ sensibility.

After Center Montes left, Evander Mullins’ expression became entirely grim.

1.4 million merit points—just gone.

If he claimed to feel no pain, it was simply impossible.

His entire fortune was just over 1.6 million merit points.

In mere moments, he lost almost ninety percent of it!

"Wyatt Barnes... If you don’t die, I, Evander Mullins, will find no peace!"

Evander Mullins’ eyes flashed with chilling light as he swore darkly.

Immediately, he began racking his brains, scheming to find an effective and permanent solution to deal with Wyatt Barnes.

The following morning, Center Montes visited Wyatt Barnes again.

"Not bad, you’re quite trustworthy."

Receiving the three-star Divine Travel Talisman and a transfer of one million merit points from Center Montes, Wyatt nodded in satisfaction.

Center Montes, hearing his words, couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile.

Could he afford not to trust? His life was bound by his vow made under the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation; if he didn’t honor it, he wouldn’t survive another day.

After handing over the Taoist Talisman and the merit points to Wyatt Barnes, Center Montes didn’t linger and promptly left.

Although he vowed never again to confront Wyatt Barnes, that didn’t mean he could calmly face him. All he wanted now was to stay far away from Wyatt Barnes.

To him, Wyatt Barnes was nothing short of a nightmare.

"Good thing I bought a three-star Divine Travel Talisman from the Hall of Merit earlier... Otherwise, I certainly wouldn’t have escaped the doom yesterday!"

Thinking back to yesterday’s events, Wyatt Barnes still felt a lingering sense of fear.

If not for the three-star Divine Travel Talisman, he wouldn’t have been able to avoid the attack talisman thrown by Center Montes.

That attack talisman, a two-star attack talisman, carried a force comparable to the full-strength blow of an Entering the Saint Realm expert at the late stage.

"It seems that merit points spent on talismans are worth it after all."

Taking a deep breath, Wyatt Barnes left his courtyard and made his way once again to the Hall of Merit in the Moon Radiance Sect.

Unlike his previous visit to the Hall of Merit, this time most Inner Sect disciples recognized him.

Upon arriving at the Hall of Merit, Wyatt Barnes didn’t linger on the first floor and directly climbed the stairs, aiming for the third floor of the Hall of Merit.

The third floor of the Hall of Merit was specifically dedicated to selling Taoist Talismans.

While passing by the second floor, Wyatt noticed that Elder Jerry Garcia wasn’t present, so he proceeded directly to the third floor.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

The two Inner Sect stewards assigned to the third floor, the same ones from last time, had mixed expressions when they saw Wyatt. Clearly, they had heard about yesterday’s events.

Defeating an Earth List-ranked expert presumed to be the disciple of Inner Sect Elder Evander Mullins, extorting a million merit points, and a three-star Divine Travel Talisman?

They couldn’t help but marvel at Wyatt Barnes’ audacity when the news first reached them.

Throughout the Moon Radiance Sect’s history, such a fierce and daring figure seemed unheard of.

Wyatt nodded lightly at the two stewards, deposited his Storage Ring, and proceeded into the third floor of the Hall of Merit.

This time, he purchased another three-star Divine Travel Talisman, along with two three-star Golden Battle Talismans... However, he noticed there were no three-star attack talismans available; thus, he settled on buying another two-star attack talisman.

Now, Wyatt’s collection included two three-star Divine Travel Talismans, two three-star Golden Battle Talismans, and two two-star attack talismans.

At the entrance of the Hall of Merit’s third floor, having spent ninety thousand merit points, Wyatt couldn’t help but ask, "Excuse me, why doesn’t the Hall of Merit have three-star attack talismans?"

Three-star attack talismans, when activated, unleashed power comparable to a full-strength strike of a peak Entering the Saint Realm Martial Artist or Taoist Cultivator.

These were ordinary peak-entry Saint Realm figures.

"The Moon Radiance Sect doesn’t possess any three-star attack talismans," one Inner Sect steward replied with a shake of his head. "Attack talismans are notably the hardest to inscribe... Although they are consumed instantly upon use, their value far exceeds that of Divine Travel Talismans or Golden Battle Talismans."

"If you want to buy three-star attack talismans, you’d have to visit the headquarters of the Nine-Sect Alliance."

Another Inner Sect steward added.

"The headquarters of the Nine-Sect Alliance?"

Wyatt was momentarily surprised.

"The Nine-Sect Alliance’s headquarters is located in the largest city within the Nine-Sect Alliance region—Hamilton City. If you wish to purchase three-star attack talismans, you’d need to go to Hamilton City."

The first Inner Sect steward reiterated.

"Understood."

Wyatt nodded and proceeded to ask, "By the way, do you know where Elder Jerry Garcia’s residence is?"

After learning the general whereabouts of Elder Jerry Garcia’s residence from the two Inner Sect stewards, Wyatt left the Hall of Merit and headed into the Inner Sect region.

It was his first time entering the Inner Sect region since arriving at the Moon Radiance Sect.

The Inner Sect region differed significantly from the Outer Sect region, the key distinction being the cultivation environment.

The density of spiritual energy here far surpassed that of the Outer Sect region.

In fact, the deeper one ventured, the more intense the spiritual energy became. "The Moon Radiance Sect’s seven-grade Holy Stone mine must be located at the center of the sect’s territory."

This, Wyatt deduced easily.

The closer one approached the Holy Stone mine, the denser the spiritual energy became.

Additionally, the Inner Sect region was vastly larger than the Outer Sect region, with its scope stretching far beyond sight.

Following the directions given by the Inner Sect stewards, Wyatt arrived at the eastern part of the Inner Sect region.

This area was filled with the residences of Inner Sect elders, each a massive estate sprawling like enormous beasts lying dormant.
