CHAPTER 1810: CHAPTER 1810: CONFLICT

"So, does this mean... the people from the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land were actually abandoned in a different form?"

Awakened by Elder Fire’s words, Wyatt Barnes suddenly understood.

"That’s more or less the case."

Elder Fire nodded, then bid Wyatt farewell and went to repair the fourth layer of the Jewel Tower.

Having encountered a ’bottleneck’, Wyatt didn’t rush to continue cultivating. Instead, he left the Jewel Tower, walked out of the room, and thought to himself, "With this happening... I wonder how she is doing."

Oliver Watson, the Palace Master of Heavenly Palace, betrayed the Mysterious Void Mansion for the Devil Path technique Devouring Dark_Demon Art, was undoubtedly a huge blow to his disciples!

And Ebba King, was also one of Oliver Watson’s direct disciples.

Wyatt immediately went to Ebba King’s residence, but found it empty.

"Not here?"

Shaking his head, Wyatt decided to return.

Just then, a few hurried figures dashed past him. These Heavenly Palace disciples seemed to be in a hurry.

While rushing, they also did not stop conversing.

"Let’s go! Quickly head over to watch the drama... If we’re late, the fun will be over."

One of the Heavenly Palace disciples spoke with urgency in his tone.

"Honestly, they are innocent. The sins of the Palace Master must be borne by his disciples... Several from the Dunn Family lineage are outstanding among our Heavenly Palace disciples, and one supposedly broke through to the ’Early Great Saint Realm’ just days ago!"

"Even having broken through to the Early Great Saint Realm, without entering the Mystic Void List or the Main Mansion, he is still a Heavenly Palace disciple... So, despite that Dunn Family disciple being an Early Great Saint Realm Martial Artist, wanting to teach a lesson to the Palace Master’s direct disciples does not violate the rules."

"Today’s affair, even the Palace Master’s direct disciples who entered the Mystic Void List and the Main Mansion shouldn’t interfere... After all, according to our Mysterious Void Mansion’s rules, those who enter the Main Mansion cannot initiate conflicts with disciples of the four palaces."

...

The conversation flowed into Wyatt’s ears completely.

"Are the Dunn Family lineage disciples targeting the Palace Master’s direct disciples? Among the Dunn Family lineage disciples, one broke through to the Early Great Saint Realm just days ago, yet hasn’t gone to the Main Mansion, nor entered the Mystic Void List?"

Wyatt raised his eyebrows, "It seems he’s planning to use his Great Saint Realm cultivation to bully the Palace Master’s direct disciples... Could the noble lady Ebba be there too?"

With that thought, Wyatt followed the passing individuals.

He wasn’t acquainted with other direct disciples under former Heavenly Palace Master Oliver Watson, so even hearing they were bullied wouldn’t make him intervene.

However, he now suspected Ebba King’s absence from her residence might mean she was with the other direct disciples under Oliver Watson.

The Heavenly Palace disciples swiftly noticed Wyatt’s pursuit.

Of course, Wyatt deliberately neared them without any intention to conceal his presence.

"Wyatt bro!"

"Wyatt Barnes bro!"

...

Recognizing Wyatt, they halted, respectfully greeting him.

Although Wyatt might have joined the Mysterious Void Mansion later than them, in a world where strength is respected, relationships are not defined by age unless they are familial, but by power.

Even if younger, Wyatt’s strength far surpassed theirs.

Thus, their call of ’brother’ was sincere.

"Hmm."

Wyatt approached them, nodding and smiling at each, acknowledging them.

Wyatt’s smile felt like a warm breeze to them, making them reflect:

This Wyatt Barnes bro truly isn’t arrogant, unlike some who, possessing slight abilities, act superior daily.

"You mentioned conflict between the Palace Master’s direct disciples and the Dunn Family lineage disciples?"

Wyatt asked.

His easy-going manner made them fond of him, and they quickly explained the situation as they knew it.

It turned out the Dunn Family lineage disciples were bullying Oliver Watson’s direct disciples under the guise of ’cleaning house’, already causing conflict that might soon turn physical.

In the Mysterious Void Mansion, so long as one doesn’t kill or maliciously cripple, sparring wasn’t restricted.

"Wyatt Barnes bro, you’re close to Felicity Taylor, I just saw her with the other Palace Master’s direct disciples, she might be at a disadvantage."

One Heavenly Palace disciple reminded Wyatt.

This disciple was the one who, knowing there was drama, invited the others to watch.

"She’s indeed there."

Wyatt nodded, then headed to the summit with the others.

Because the Dunn Family and Oliver Watson’s people were confronting at the summit of Heavenly Palace, ready to clash at any moment.

When Wyatt arrived, he saw a large crowd gathered at the peak.

Moreover, the numbers kept increasing, with disciples from the Earth Palace, Mystic Palace, and even Yellow Palace coming to watch the scene.

In the center of the crowd’s attention, on the wide platform, two groups were confronting each other.

On one side stood five people.

On the other side stood four people.

Wyatt Barnes’s gaze fell on the four who were standing side by side, and he noticed Ebba King was among them.

At this moment, Ebba King was glaring angrily at the five people opposite, who were disciples of the Dunn Family within the Mysterious Void Mansion.

"Tommy Dunn?"

Immediately, Wyatt Barnes noticed that among the five from the Dunn Family, ’Tommy Dunn’ stood out prominently.

"Tommy Dunn, I have made it very clear, what our master did has nothing to do with us, we had no prior knowledge! Moreover, the Yellow Palace Master ’Lachlan Jimenez’ has already informed us that the Mysterious Void Mansion will not implicate us for our master’s mistakes."

A burly middle-aged man standing shoulder to shoulder with Ebba King said to Tommy Dunn in a deep voice.

"Caleb Hayden, anyone can pay lip service... Do you have any evidence to prove you are not involved in that matter? I genuinely suspect that the reason Oliver Watson managed to escape despite being pursued by two Protectors is largely due to you all acting as his ’inside support’."

Tommy Dunn squinted his eyes as he spoke.

The four people in front of him were all disciples under his collaborator ’Oliver Watson.’

If it were under normal circumstances, even if he and Oliver Watson collaborated merely for interest, he would not offend Oliver Watson for this reason.

However, the reason he appeared here today was entirely due to his grandfather ’Edison Dunn’s instructions.

According to his grandfather, he should bring people to intimidate Oliver Watson’s close disciples a bit.

As the saying goes, ’a father’s debt is repaid by the son’!

Although Oliver Watson is not their father, a master is like a father or mother, and he can be regarded as their father.

Tommy Dunn knew clearly in his heart that his grandfather made such a decision because he wanted to use this to make Oliver Watson reveal his tracks, allowing them to capture Oliver Watson.

Although this was not very realistic, trying was better than not trying at all.

"You’re talking nonsense!"

"We didn’t know anything about what the master did beforehand!"

"Tommy Dunn, stop spreading lies!"

...

At this moment, not only did Caleb Hayden and the others change their expressions, but even Ebba King’s face changed because Tommy Dunn’s accusation was too severe.

He actually accused them of being inside informers!

"Master Tommy, why talk so much to them... Since they refuse to admit it, I’ll teach them a lesson on behalf of their traitorous master and see if they still have such a stiff upper lip afterward!"

The middle-aged man with a bristly beard standing behind Tommy Dunn grinned, looking at Caleb Hayden, Ebba King, and the others with a gaze full of mockery.

Seeing this, Caleb Hayden’s expression changed, and then he angrily shouted, "Quentin Dunn, if it weren’t for your luck breaking into the ’Great Saint Realm’ before me, would you dare to be so arrogant in front of me? Let me tell you, if you dare to harm a hair on me or my junior brothers and sisters today, when I break through to the ’Great Saint Realm,’ I will certainly not let you off lightly!"

Before Quentin Dunn’s breakthrough, although his strength was good, he was still merely defeated by Caleb Hayden.

Today, it was because Quentin Dunn had broken through first that he found himself in such a passive position.

"Who knows when you’ll break through to the Great Saint Realm... I only know that today, you Caleb Hayden will lie obediently in front of me, Quentin Dunn!"

Quentin Dunn laughed strangely, looking like a petty man who had succeeded.

"Master Tommy."

Although Quentin Dunn wanted to attack Caleb Hayden immediately, thinking about Tommy Dunn being present, he also sought his approval.

Seeing Tommy Dunn nod, Quentin Dunn’s body shook, and with a ’bang,’ he charged towards Caleb Hayden like a storm, sweeping him up.

Wherever he passed, the air shuddered, and the sound of gas explosions was continuous.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

Meanwhile, gusts of wind emanated from Quentin Dunn, causing the robes of the onlookers to flutter wildly.

"In the face of Brother Tommy, who has broken through to the Great Saint Realm, this Caleb Hayden is nothing!"

"Hehe... Not to mention Caleb Hayden alone, even if he teams up with the other three beside him, they can’t possibly be a match for Brother Quentin Dunn."

"With Brother Quentin Dunn around, we don’t even need to lift a finger."

The other three people beside Tommy Dunn stood by and watched the spectacle.

"Brother Hayden, be careful!"

"Senior Brother, be careful!"

...

As Quentin Dunn charged at Caleb Hayden, Ebba King and the other two changed their expressions, shouting warnings while they also moved to intercept Quentin Dunn.

Although their senior brother Caleb Hayden was strong, he was no match for Quentin Dunn, who had already broken through to the Great Saint Realm!

"Want to team up? Then I’ll let you team up... Take my palm!"

Facing Ebba King and the other two rushing up with Caleb Hayden, Quentin Dunn slightly slowed, then with a sinister smile, he suddenly attacked.
