CHAPTER 1794: CHAPTER 1794: INVITATION FROM THE SHADOW MOUNTAIN BLACK MARKET LEADER

"It’s actually the Vice Leader of the Shadow Mountain Black Market, ’Diffy Fenning.’ He’s a powerful aide under the Leader of the Shadow Mountain Black Market, said to be strong enough to rival the two Protectors of our Mysterious Void Mansion!"

Diffy Fenning’s voice was unrestrained, echoing throughout the entire Mysterious Void Mansion, and nearly every disciple of the Mysterious Void Mansion, who wasn’t in closed-door training, heard his voice.

"Is he here looking for Wyatt?"

"It seems Wyatt’s talent has already alarmed the Shadow Mountain Black Market... Even the Vice Leader ’Diffy Fenning’ has come personally to recruit him."

"Wyatt hasn’t apprenticed under anyone in our Mysterious Void Mansion yet; if Diffy Fenning takes him away, it would be a significant loss for us!"

"It’s said that once Wyatt breaks through to the ’Great Saint Realm,’ he will head to the ’Upper Domain’... He’s already at the peak of the Middle Saint Realm as a martial artist, just one step away from the Great Saint Realm! Perhaps that’s why the House Master, who intended to take him as a pupil, hasn’t acted yet."

"Indeed, with Wyatt’s talent, he’ll certainly break through to the ’Great Saint Realm’ within a year or two... He won’t stay in our Mysterious Void Mansion for long."

"That Shadow Mountain Black Market Vice Leader Diffy Fenning probably came in vain this time. If I were Wyatt, I definitely wouldn’t go to the Shadow Mountain Black Market, as I’ll be heading to the Upper Domain soon, making it unnecessary to go back and forth."

...

A group of Mysterious Void Mansion disciples discussed endlessly, with no one believing Diffy Fenning could take Wyatt Barnes to the Shadow Mountain Black Market.

The appearance of the Shadow Mountain Black Market’s Vice Leader Diffy Fenning naturally also alarmed the high-ranking members of the Mysterious Void Mansion.

Aside from Ryatt Morgan, the other Vice House Masters of the Mysterious Void Mansion, who had just dispersed and hadn’t returned to their respective places of cultivation, all stepped into the air and sped towards the source of the sound.

"Vice Chief Fenning."

With Ryatt Morgan absent, the Vice House Masters of the Mysterious Void Mansion, led by Oliver Watson, who doubled as the Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace, greeted Diffy Fenning, standing not far away from him, with a slight nod.

Diffy Fenning, an elderly man dressed in black, with a medium and robust build and an ordinary face, was the kind you couldn’t pick out in a crowd.

His head of gray-white hair moved without wind, like serpents slithering, giving off an eerie vibe.

"Hmph!"

Faced with Oliver Watson’s friendly greeting, Diffy Fenning just snorted slightly, never giving Oliver Watson a direct glance, "I came to the Mysterious Void Mansion for the young brother Wyatt... idle chatter better stay silent in my presence!"

"You... outrageous!"

Feeling ignored, Oliver Watson’s face turned red, and after uttering "You" for a long time, he finally spat out two words.

"Outrageous?"

Upon hearing Oliver Watson’s words, Diffy Fenning coldly chuckled, and moments later, without any visible action, he suddenly vanished from sight, as if disappearing into thin air.

Seeing this, the faces of the high-ranking members of the Mysterious Void Mansion, including Oliver Watson, all changed.

Snap!

At almost the same moment, a crisp slapping sound resonated, and suddenly, Diffy Fenning appeared before Oliver Watson, raised a hand, and slapped him.

"What are you to speak to me in that manner?"

Simultaneously, Diffy Fenning’s sinister voice timely rang out.

As the dignified Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace and chief of the Vice House Masters of the Mysterious Void Mansion, being slapped publicly, Oliver Watson was naturally furious, and subsequently, he attacked with a thunderous strike, his vast power transforming into a palm strike aimed at Diffy Fenning standing before him.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Facing Oliver Watson’s attack, Diffy Fenning’s expression remained unchanged, and disdainfully, he struck out with his palm meeting Oliver Watson’s.

Bang!!

In an instant, the two palms collided, two powerful forces clashing, producing an earth-shattering explosion.

Even the surrounding clouds were dispersed, revealing a vacuum area.

For a moment, those originally hidden behind the clouds became visible to the Mysterious Void Mansion disciples below.

After the intense clash, Oliver Watson’s face changed dramatically. His body shuddered and, like an arrow leaving the bow, he flew out a hundred meters before barely stabilizing himself.

On the other hand, Diffy Fenning stood in place, unmoving.

"He’s that strong!"

Feeling his internal organs shaken, Oliver Watson tasted blood in his throat but held back from spitting out the congested blood. His dignity and pride prevented him from doing so before so many people.

The other Vice House Masters of the Mysterious Void Mansion couldn’t help but feel chills in their hearts.

Their strength was slightly weaker than Oliver Watson’s, and since even he wasn’t a match for Diffy Fenning, even less so were they!

Thus, seeing Oliver Watson injured, though they were fuming, they didn’t dare show it.

This Diffy Fenning, as a Vice Leader of the Shadow Mountain Black Market, was volatile and capable of anything, so no one wanted to provoke him, fearing they’d follow in Oliver Watson’s footsteps.

"In your Mysterious Void Mansion, only House Master Ryatt Morgan and those two old fellows have decent strength... frankly speaking, apart from those three, including yourselves, Diffy Fenning holds you all in no regard!"

Diffy Fenning disdainfully glanced at Oliver Watson and others, saying coldly, "Alright, my purpose this time isn’t to teach you a lesson... go and call out that genius Wyatt from your Mysterious Void Mansion. I have business with him!"

Towards the end, Diffy Fenning’s tone was more like ordering Oliver Watson and the others.

For a moment, except for Oliver Watson who ignored him, the other Vice House Masters of the Mysterious Void Mansion exchanged glances but were silent for a long time.

"What? None of you are willing to run this errand for me?"

Seeing this, Diffy Fenning squinted his eyes, a cold gleam flashed through them, frightening the Vice House Masters of the Mysterious Void Mansion, causing their expressions to change drastically.

"No need to trouble the Vice House Masters, I have already arrived."

Amid the tense and imminent atmosphere at the scene, a voice suddenly came, as Wyatt Barnes emerged from the distance.

Beside him were Augustine Landon and Ebba King.

"Master, are you alright?"

Ebba King was the first to reach Oliver Watson’s side and asked, her face full of concern.

"I’m fine."

Oliver Watson shook his head, his gaze towards Diffy Fenning filled with killing intent.

This Diffy Fenning had the audacity to discipline him in front of his newly taken disciple, causing him great humiliation!

At Oliver Watson’s age, his regard for face surpassed everything else.

What Diffy Fenning had done earlier was more painful than killing him.

However, at that moment, Diffy Fenning didn’t even spare Oliver Watson a glance, completely ignoring him.

His gaze fell on Wyatt Barnes, a flash of brilliance in his eyes, as he spoke in a condescending tone, "You are the leading talent of the younger generation in the Mysterious Void Mansion, Wyatt?"

"I dare not claim to be the leading talent of the younger generation, but I am indeed ’Wyatt’."

Wyatt Barnes responded lightly.

The prowess Diffy Fenning displayed earlier couldn’t help but amaze him; he didn’t expect the Vice Leader of the Shadow Mountain black market to be so powerful.

However, when facing Diffy Fenning, his heart remained incredibly calm. Diffy Fenning might be formidable, but in front of Elder Fire inside the Jewel Tower, he was nothing.

Elder Fire was considered a powerful existence across various heavenly realms.

Wyatt Barnes could remain calm in front of Elder Fire, let alone a mere Vice Leader of a top Lower Domain power. From start to finish, he felt no pressure at all.

"Wyatt, I won’t waste words... I’m here this time under the order of our Shadow Mountain black market’s Leader Singleton. Leader Singleton wishes to invite you to join our Shadow Mountain black market. If you can demonstrate your value, Leader Singleton is even willing to take you as his personal disciple."

Seeing Wyatt Barnes remain composed when facing him, Diffy Fenning’s eyes revealed a hint of admiration.

Upon hearing Diffy Fenning’s words, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Shadow Mountain black market’s leader?

Aiming to invite him to join the Shadow Mountain black market?

Since when had he become so sought after?

Oliver Watson and the others were also shocked.

So, it turned out Diffy Fenning was merely a messenger, and the one truly trying to poach from their Mysterious Void Mansion was the leader of the Shadow Mountain black market!

The leader of the Shadow Mountain black market, ’Singleton’, was recognized as one of the strongest in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land!

The other strongest in the Lower Domain was the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, Lanni Barnes!

Most importantly, both Singleton and Lanni Barnes were relatively young, with ample room for future development. In the Martial Dao Sacred Land’s Lower Domain, they were merely passing figures.

With their talent, they were bound to shine in the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land sooner or later!

However, though Leader Singleton of the Shadow Mountain black market was young, his deterrent power over Oliver Watson and others was extremely strong.

Therefore, when Diffy Fenning said he came under Singleton’s orders, Oliver Watson and the others tactfully remained silent.

If they offended that Leader Singleton, even if they were within the Mysterious Void Mansion and had the protection of their House Master Ryatt Morgan, the opponent could easily kill them as if reaching into a pocket.

Leader Singleton’s strength was inherently above their House Master, plus he was adept at assassination as the leader of the Shadow Mountain black market, making killing them as easy as crushing ants.

"Vice Chief Fenning, I’m sorry... Please convey to Leader Singleton on my behalf that I have no intention of joining the Shadow Mountain black market because I won’t be staying in the Mysterious Void Mansion for long. Besides, I already have a master! In as little as two years or as long as three, I will leave the Lower Domain and go to the Upper Domain to find my master."

Faced with Diffy Fenning’s authoritative invitation, Wyatt Barnes politely declined.

Even Diffy Fenning didn’t expect this young man in front of him to refuse so decisively.

After all, he had said he came under the orders of their Shadow Mountain black market’s Leader Singleton. Wasn’t this kid afraid of angering their Shadow Mountain black market and bringing about a deadly disaster?

As for what Wyatt Barnes said afterward, Diffy Fenning didn’t doubt it.

Because over the past two months, he had already gathered a lot of ’information’ about Wyatt Barnes from other disciples of the Mysterious Void Mansion.

He also knew that Wyatt Barnes had a master who was a powerhouse in the Upper Domain, and the once-famous ’Eden Lee’ was also his senior brother.
