CHAPTER 1950: CHAPTER 1950: FACTS WILL PROVE EVERYTHING

Although this wasn’t the first time Maximus Lee was treated rudely by Abraham Clifford.

However, being humiliated like this in front of so many people, he couldn’t help but feel a rush of anger welling up inside!

Of course, despite his anger, Maximus didn’t show it.

At least, at this moment, it wasn’t appropriate to show it.

Who knows, if he falls out with Abraham, whether Abraham will make a ’judgment’ favorable to Wyatt Barnes.

Although, according to the ’sect rules’ of the Fire Worship Sect, it’s obvious to anyone with eyes that Wyatt Barnes is doomed... But who knows if some change might occur due to Abraham’s temporary bias as the Black Tortoise Altar’s Law Enforcement Elder?

To ensure witnessing Wyatt Barnes’s execution smoothly, he chose to endure temporarily.

From this, it can be seen how much Maximus wished for Wyatt Barnes to be executed!

"Wyatt Barnes!"

After withdrawing his gaze from Maximus Lee, Abraham Clifford immediately focused on Wyatt Barnes, his eyes flashing coldly as he asked in a deep voice, "I heard... you killed two disciples of the Vermilion Bird Altar?"

As Abraham questioned Wyatt Barnes, all eyes present naturally fell on Wyatt Barnes.

"Yes!"

Under everyone’s gaze, Wyatt Barnes replied decisively.

"Why?"

Abraham asked again. Although everything was currently proceeding according to protocol, his voice grew progressively colder.

"Hudson Anderson wanted to kill me, and I counter-killed him in self-defense!"

Wyatt Barnes said timely, "As for Kenny Anderson, although he didn’t attack me, he threatened my friend’s life, trying to interfere with my duel with Hudson! To me, he and Hudson were accomplices, both trying to kill me... I killed him, too, in self-defense!"

His words flowed very smoothly, as if rehearsed numerous times.

And with Wyatt’s words, the scene fell into silence again.

Disciples of the Vermilion Bird Altar glanced at each other, seeing the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

After a moment, quite a few struggled to speak, whispering, "This Wyatt Barnes, isn’t that shameless?"

"Indeed shameless! Killing Hudson can still be said as self-defense... But Kenny didn’t attack him, and he found such an excuse, claiming he killed Kenny in self-defense too, it’s ridiculous!"

"Does he really think their Black Tortoise Altar’s Law Enforcement Elder is so easily deceived? Just because he says something, does he expect it to be believed?"

"In my opinion, he doesn’t just think their Black Tortoise Altar’s Law Enforcement Elder is easy to fool, he acts as though our Vermilion Bird Altar’s Law Enforcement Elder doesn’t exist!"

...

At first, the Vermilion Bird Altar’s disciples were whispering, but before they knew it, they had started discussing loudly.

And the Black Tortoise Altar’s Law Enforcement Elder ’Abraham Clifford’ face quickly darkened upon hearing these Vermilion Bird Altar disciples’ words.

"Elder Clifford, do not listen to this Wyatt Barnes’s nonsense! Regarding today’s matter, I have already conducted nearly a full investigation... Hudson indeed attacked him first, but whether he intended to kill him is uncertain!"

At the same time, the Vermilion Bird Altar’s Law Enforcement Elder ’Yale Wade’ looked at Abraham Clifford and said, "For now, let us assume Hudson intended to kill Wyatt Barnes and was counter-killed in self-defense... But according to my investigation, Kenny did not threaten his friend’s life!"

"It’s not difficult to confirm this... Have his friend take a Thunder Punishment oath, and the truth will be revealed! I believe that whether Kenny threatened his life to interfere with Wyatt Barnes, he can still confirm it."

As Yale Wade spoke, his gaze shifted to a group of Vermilion Bird Altar disciples not far away, identifying ’Augustine Landon’.

Upon hearing Yale Wade’s words and noticing his gaze, Augustine’s expression changed.

He’s not really afraid of death!

If by dying, he can ensure his brother Wyatt’s safety, he would be more than willing.

However, if he follows Yale Wade’s instruction and makes a ’Thunder Punishment oath’, not only would he die under the Thunder Punishment, but he would also implicate his brother Wyatt.

In that moment, everyone could confirm, Wyatt Barnes wasn’t killing Kenny in self-defense.

Unjustly killing a fellow disciple, by the ’sect rules’ of the Fire Worship Sect, is a capital offense!

"Elder Wade, there’s no need for that!"

Seeing that following Yale Wade’s words, everyone including the Black Tortoise Altar’s Law Enforcement Elder ’Abraham Clifford’ had turned their eyes to Augustine, Wyatt Barnes timely spoke up.

As soon as he spoke, he stopped Yale Wade.

"What? Are you admitting you murdered a fellow disciple?"

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Yale Wade’s gaze shifted from Augustine back to Wyatt Barnes, and he sneered coldly.

Maximus Lee stood aside, his eyes flashing coldly as he looked at Wyatt Barnes, a cruel smile appearing on his face.

As if he had already seen the scene of Wyatt Barnes being executed!

"Elder Wade, I didn’t admit anything."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head.

"Wyatt Barnes, if you don’t admit it, then let your friend do as Elder Wade says... Then the truth will naturally become clear!"

At this point, Abraham Clifford was also enraged.

"Elder Clifford, don’t be hasty."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head again, then conveyed a message to Abraham Clifford.

And just that one sentence caused Abraham’s pupils to contract, revealing shock and disbelief.

However, while displaying such an expression, Abraham also showed a hint of suspicion.

Finally, he turned his head to look at the Vermilion Bird Altar’s Law Enforcement Elder ’Yale Wade’, and conveyed a message to Yale Wade.

Immediately, Yale Wade showed shock and disbelief, as well as a hint of suspicion.

"Hmm?"

Just when everyone, including ’Maximus Lee’, noticed something was wrong with the expressions of the two Law Enforcement Elders.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

...

The void rippled, and centered around the body of the Vermilion Bird Altar’s Law Enforcement Elder, ’Yale Wade’, surged a torrid and vast power of flames, eventually forming a fire domain.

The fire domain, like a giant beast, swallowed Yale Wade, Abraham Clifford, and Wyatt Barnes inside.

In an instant, all that was left in front of the crowd was a massive fireball with a diameter of a hundred meters.

The fireball hung there, continuously burning, completely isolating the view from inside and outside.

"What is Yale Wade doing?"

Seeing this, Maximus Lee couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

Even if they were going to execute Wyatt Barnes, according to the rules, there should first be a verbal ’judgment’, right?

For some reason, an ominous premonition arose in Maximus Lee’s heart, growing stronger by the moment.

At this moment, Maximus Lee even wanted to break into Yale Wade’s domain to see what he and Abraham Clifford intended to do... But in the end, he held back.

He certainly could do that.

But the consequences of doing so were not something he could bear.

If Yale Wade and Abraham Clifford jointly accused him before the Holy Land’s ’Enforcement Hall’, even as the first Elder Silver Flame of the Black Tortoise Altar, he would be in serious trouble!

As Law Enforcement Elders of the Four Symbols Altars, Yale Wade and Abraham Clifford are directly subordinate to the Holy Land’s ’Enforcement Hall’.

"What are Elder Yale Wade and Elder Abraham Clifford trying to do?"

"Are they going to execute Wyatt Barnes?"

"Even if they’re going to execute Wyatt Barnes... According to the rules, shouldn’t they deliver a verbal judgment first?"

"Perhaps Wyatt Barnes’ ’rogue’ behavior angered the two Law Enforcement Elders, making them not even intend to pronounce judgment verbally."

"That might be possible!"

...

As a group of Vermilion Bird Altar disciples speculated, nearly ninety percent of the Vermilion Bird Altar disciples believed:

The reason Yale Wade erected the fire domain, blocking their view, was to execute Wyatt Barnes!

Even Augustine Landon thought so.

In an instant, Augustine Landon’s face turned pale, and as he clenched his fists, his body trembled involuntarily.

He hated himself deeply!

Hated himself for being too weak!

Unable to help in any way!

The fire domain appeared, directly separating two ’worlds’.

Outside the fire domain, most people thought Wyatt Barnes was about to be executed.

However, within the fire domain, Wyatt Barnes was peacefully coexisting with the two Law Enforcement Elders...

Whoosh! Whoosh!

At the same time, Abraham Clifford and Yale Wade each took out a transparent pearl, which was the ’Spirit Pearl’ used to test talent roots.

And the reason Yale Wade had formed the fire domain, blocking the view of those outside, was precisely for this moment.

"Wyatt Barnes, if you dare deceive me and Elder Abraham Clifford... even if we eventually have to execute you, I’ll make sure you taste ’a fate worse than death’ first!"

As he handed the Spirit Pearl to Wyatt Barnes, Yale Wade’s eyes gleamed with coldness, threatening him.

Although Abraham Clifford didn’t speak, the fierce look he gave Wyatt Barnes explained everything without a doubt.

"Facts will prove everything."

After receiving the Spirit Pearls from the hands of the two Law Enforcement Elders, Wyatt Barnes turned his palms, holding a Spirit Pearl in each hand, and then quietly waited...

Normally, after ten breaths, the Spirit Pearls would react.

Just now, Wyatt Barnes had transmitted a heavy message to Abraham Clifford:

His talent root was a ’blue root’!

As the Law Enforcement Elder of the Black Tortoise Altar, Abraham Clifford had no prior interaction with Wyatt Barnes, but due to Long Drake’s death ten days ago, he had come into contact with Wyatt Barnes.

Because of that encounter, he learned some things about Wyatt Barnes.

Among them was the fact that Wyatt Barnes’ talent root was only a ’yellow root’.

At that time, he was quite puzzled:

Where did a Black Tortoise Altar disciple with merely a ’yellow root’ get the courage to oppose their Black Tortoise Altar’s first Elder Silver Flame, Maximus Lee?

And today, Wyatt Barnes transmitted to him:

His talent root was not a ’yellow root’, but a ’blue root’!

In the Fire Worship Sect, Martial Dao geniuses with a ’blue root’ were generally given special attention and could even do some things beyond the ordinary disciple’s abilities.

Among these, was killing a fellow disciple!

Ten days ago, how did Long Drake dare to strike a lethal blow against Wyatt Barnes?

Wasn’t it because he considered himself a Martial Dao genius with a ’blue root’, and that the Fire Worship Sect, which was eager for talent, wouldn’t really make him pay with his life!
