CHAPTER 1801: CHAPTER 1801: WYATT BARNES SENTENCED TO ’DEATH’?

Eden Lee is Wyatt Barnes, and Wyatt Barnes is Eden Lee.

Only Augustine Landon knows this, besides Wyatt himself.

Thus, upon hearing Ryatt Morgan’s words, he wasn’t surprised.

"He should know."

Facing Ryatt Morgan’s inquiry, Wyatt nodded, and he vaguely guessed Morgan’s reason for seeking him out.

It was nothing more than his concern that Wyatt’s ’mentor’ might also be interested in Peace Adams’ Devil Path technique.

Ryatt Morgan was unaware that his supposed mentor was a figment of Wyatt’s imagination—a powerful figure from the Upper Domain, whom someone like Morgan, as the House Master of Mysterious Void Mansion, had to approach with utmost caution.

"If that Devil Path technique is one of those utterly vile types, it’s no matter... If it’s a normal Devil Path technique, once our Mysterious Void Mansion obtains it, we’re willing to share with you and your sect."

Ryatt Morgan’s eyes flashed as he spoke directly to Wyatt.

"House Master, I..."

Wyatt hadn’t anticipated Morgan saying such a thing. He was momentarily stunned and wanted to say something, but before he could finish, Morgan interrupted him, "It is settled! After all, without you and your fellow apprentice, our Mysterious Void Mansion couldn’t have obtained that Devil Path technique."

"However, we haven’t acquired the technique yet... We’ll have to wait a year or so, until the Junior House Master of Sky-scraping Mansion’s residual soul recovers a bit, in order to use the ’Soul Searching Secret Technique!’"

Morgan added later.

"House Master, our sect has no interest in that Devil Path technique."

After Morgan finished speaking, Wyatt added.

"No interest?"

Wyatt’s words left Morgan puzzled.

It’s a top-level Devil Path technique!

Could someone really be disinterested?

"It seems Wyatt’s mentor is truly no ordinary figure, even in the Upper Domain."

Ryatt Morgan shuddered inwardly, speculating silently.

"House Master, rest assured, our sect has no designs on that Devil Path technique... Additionally, I won’t spread word of Mysterious Void Mansion obtaining it."

Wyatt continued.

Upon hearing this, Morgan gave Wyatt a deep gaze before speaking again, "Nevertheless, you’ve achieved great merit for our Mysterious Void Mansion this time, you are indebted to us... My initial thought was to share the Devil Path technique as repayment."

"Yet, I hadn’t anticipated your sect would be uninterested... In that case, I and Mysterious Void Mansion surely owe you in another way."

As he spoke, Morgan asked, "Tell me, what kind of repayment would you like? Or rather, what do you want Mysterious Void Mansion to do for you?"

"House Master, if possible, I hope Mysterious Void Mansion can help me find some materials."

At this moment, Wyatt realized this was an opportunity to expedite the gathering of materials necessary for restoring the fourth layer of the Jewel Tower.

While Winty Landon, as one of Mysterious Void Mansion’s two Protectors, had extensive connections, it compared not at all to the entirety of Mysterious Void Mansion’s resources.

If Morgan, as House Master, ordered the Mansion to help him find materials, it would surely be more efficient!

"Materials? What kind of materials?"

Morgan looked puzzled.

"I’ve already illustrated those materials and handed them to Protector Landon for monitoring... If the House Master truly wants to repay me, then aid me in searching for them. Those materials are crucial to me and my sect."

Wyatt explained.

"Alright, I understand."

Morgan nodded, "I’ll go to Protector Landon shortly to have him make copies of the illustrations... Mysterious Void Mansion will do its best to locate those materials! That is my promise to you."

As the House Master of Mysterious Void Mansion, Morgan indeed valued his word.

Thus, Wyatt trusted him completely, "Thank you, House Master."

"Compared to what you’ve done for Mysterious Void Mansion, this is a mere trifle."

Morgan waved dismissively.

A trifle?

Wyatt, hearing Morgan’s words, was indifferent. Perhaps for Morgan, it was minor, but for him, it was considerable.

Those materials are tied to the restoration of the Jewel Tower’s fourth layer, and in his eyes, their value surpasses the Devil Path technique cultivated by Sky-scraping Mansion’s Junior House Master Peace Adams by far.

Of course, Wyatt made no additional explanations.

What could he say?

Could he reveal the Jewel Tower’s secret?

He had no doubt that if he revealed the secret of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, the House Master of the Mysterious Void Mansion in front of him would most likely strike him down immediately and seize the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

The temptation of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was too great!

Even if he were in Ryatt Morgan’s position as the House Master of the Mysterious Void Mansion, facing a disciple who was vastly inferior, he would still be tempted by greed to snatch the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda from their hands.

The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda is the ultimate treasure of the immortals, something unmatched in its allure even in the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.

The Mysterious Void Mansion, as a quasi-Third-Rate Power, one of the top forces in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, finds it naturally easy to gather some materials.

Orders were issued one after another by Ryatt Morgan, spurring the elders and disciples of the Mysterious Void Mansion across various outposts in the Lower Domain into action, aggressively searching for the materials Wyatt Barnes needed.

As time passed, they turned over more than half of the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.

Meanwhile, three months had passed.

Atlas Dunn and Edison Dunn, who were stationed at the Sky-scraping Mansion’s base, were rotated back to the Mysterious Void Mansion’s base by two other Vice House Masters.

As soon as they returned, Tommy Dunn received the information and sought them out immediately.

"Grandfather, Father, have you caught that ’Nehemiah Honorston’?"

Upon seeing Edison and Atlas, Tommy asked at once.

"No."

Atlas shook his head.

The originally gloomy-faced Edison, upon seeing Tommy, also broke into a smile, "Tommy, you haven’t slacked in your training during this time, have you?"

"No."

Tommy shook his head and quickly moved to stand beside Edison, "Grandfather, now that you’re back too...shouldn’t we discuss with the House Master about using the ’soul-searching secret technique’ on Junior House Master Peace Adams of the Sky-scraping Mansion?"

Tommy yearned for the devil path magic cultivation technique that Peace Adams practiced, even in his dreams.

"Tommy, grandfather knows you want to practice that technique... but, that technique, as a devil path technique, we’re still unsure exactly what type it is. If it’s one of those insane, inhumane techniques, even if our Mysterious Void Mansion obtains it, we shouldn’t practice it."

Edison shook his head and said, "So, you need to be mentally prepared."

Despite Edison’s words, Tommy only verbally conceded, "Grandfather, as you said, we’re not certain yet...what if it turns out to be a relatively normal devil path technique?"

"That’s indeed a possibility."

Edison nodded, looking at Tommy again, his eyes filled with a doting affection, "Tommy, grandfather also wishes to use the soul-searching secret technique on Peace Adams to obtain his cultivation method... but currently, he’s too weak. Although the technique can be applied on him now, his soul would likely collapse before we manage to retrieve the complete technique."

"I’ve examined his injuries; at least half a year is needed for his remnants to recover to withstand the soul-searching secret technique fully."

Edison continued.

"Half a year? That long?"

Tommy was crestfallen; he had already grown impatient waiting during this period, only to learn he had to endure another half-year wait.

"Tommy, it’s just half a year, it’ll pass in the blink of an eye... use this time for intense training, aim to break through to the late Middle Saint Realm! I promise, if the devil path technique is fine, I’ll first impart it to you once obtained."

Seeing Tommy’s disappointment, Edison felt a pang in his heart and hastily consoled him.

"Thank you, Grandfather."

Tommy forced a smile on his face.

Soon after, inspiration struck Tommy, conjuring an image of a figure he deeply loathed, "Wyatt Barnes!"

"Grandfather, now that the Sky-scraping Mansion affair is essentially resolved...shouldn’t we think of ways to deal with that Wyatt Barnes?"

As thoughts of Wyatt surfaced, Tommy’s eyes filled with a bloody hatred that sunk into his bones.

As long as Wyatt lived, Tommy would never find peace or rest.

Upon hearing Tommy’s words and sensing his animosity, Edison’s doting expression vanished and was replaced by a brooding murderous intent, "Tommy, rest assured... Grandfather assures you—Wyatt Barnes won’t be bouncing around for long!"

"Father."

At this moment, Atlas, who stood beside them, spoke up, "I’ve heard that the House Master is mobilizing the entire Mysterious Void Mansion to gather some materials for Wyatt Barnes... Though the House Master hasn’t taken him as a disciple, he values him immensely, almost as he would his own personal disciple."

"I know about that. But the House Master, aiding him, does so because Wyatt rejected sharing the devil path technique with his sect as the House Master wished. The House Master assists him in acknowledgment of his contribution by providing information on the devil path technique."

Edison, in the know, carried information that surpassed Atlas.

"Of course, even if we’re indeed to kill Wyatt Barnes, it won’t be at the Mysterious Void Mansion base... we still need to figure a way to lure Wyatt out, then act! As long as it’s done cleanly, no one will know who killed him. Even if someone suspects us, without evidence, not even the House Master can do anything to us!"

Edison continued, his words laced with an increasing intensity of murderous intent.

Atlas nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Tommy was already filled with excitement, his face glowing red, eyes gleaming with a cold light, nearly gritting his teeth as he muttered, "Wyatt Barnes, your days are numbered! My grandfather has never left anyone alive that he wanted dead... when you walk the Netherworld Path someday, blame your ill-fated life!"

"By provoking me, your end is as certain as it is fatal!"

In Tommy’s heart, he sentenced Wyatt Barnes to ’death’.
