CHAPTER 1989: CHAPTER 1989: WIELDING THE SWORD WITH THE HEART

Of course, Wade Yorke not killing Wyatt Barnes now doesn’t mean he won’t kill him in the future.

The reason for not killing Wyatt now is due to the religious laws of the Fire Worship Sect.

In the future, if he gets the chance, he will definitely kill Wyatt to avenge his brother ’Warren Yorke’!

"What is Senior Brother Wade Yorke doing?"

"It seems... he’s waiting for Wyatt Barnes to come out?"

...

Meanwhile, Wade Yorke’s actions also attracted the attention of many Holy Land disciples.

They also realized that Wade Yorke was here for that new disciple, ’Wyatt Barnes’.

However, it was clear to them that Wade was not here for a heart-to-heart talk with Wyatt, which could be seen from his ferocious appearance upon arrival... For a moment, the Holy Land disciples present could confirm that Wade Yorke came with hostile intentions!

"Does Wyatt Barnes have a grudge with Senior Brother Wade Yorke? I’ve never heard of it!"

"I haven’t heard of it either... Besides, one was in the Holy Land, and the other was in the Four Symbols Altar. They seemed to have no intersection, right?"

"What’s going on?"

...

After realizing Wade Yorke’s hostile intent, many Holy Land disciples showed confusion, their eyes filled with bewilderment.

"No way? You guys don’t know that Senior Brother Wade Yorke and Wyatt Barnes have a grudge?"

At this moment, a Holy Land disciple asked in surprise, as if hearing something shocking.

"What? You know?"

Instantly, the eyes of a group of Holy Land disciples all fell on this disciple.

"Do you still remember... how Wyatt Barnes, when he first arrived at the Black Tortoise Altar of the Fire Worship Sect, developed a feud with the first Elder Silver Flame, Maximus Lee?"

This Holy Land disciple dangled a clue, asking such a question.

"Of course I remember!"

Almost the moment he finished speaking, a Holy Land disciple nodded and said: "It’s because Wyatt Barnes killed the son of Maximus Lee’s close friend."

The other Holy Land disciples also nodded.

They had heard about this matter.

For this, they were very impressed with Wyatt Barnes, because not everyone dared to openly confront the Elder Silver Flame of the Fire Worship Sect right after joining.

"Since you know this matter... do you know who was the close friend of Elder Maximus Lee?"

The previous Holy Land disciple asked again.

"Who?"

"Don’t keep us in suspense! Quickly, who is it!"

"Yes! If you keep us in suspense again, do you believe we’ll beat you up?"

...

Seeing this Holy Land disciple keeping them in suspense again, many Holy Land disciples were angered, all staring at him with unfriendly eyes, as if ready to beat him if he kept dawdling.

Although some Holy Land disciples didn’t react that way, their gazes on the disciple in question became more unfriendly.

"It’s ’Russel Yorke’!"

At this moment, another Holy Land disciple, after a moment of contemplation, exclaimed, clearly just remembering.

"Russel Yorke? I just remembered too... it was Russel Yorke!"

"I remembered too! The person Wyatt Barnes killed that day was Russel Yorke’s son, Warren Yorke, the son of the Fifth Elder of North Qi Sect!"

Through the words of this Holy Land disciple, two other disciples suddenly realized too.

"Could it be that Senior Brother Wade Yorke has a connection with the Fifth Elder of North Qi Sect, ’Russel Yorke’?"

At the same time, the Holy Land disciples present began to speculate.

Simultaneously, most of the Holy Land disciples’ eyes naturally fell on the Holy Land disciple who liked to keep them in suspense, all eager to get their answer from him.

Because this Holy Land disciple had just provoked their anger, he did not dare to exaggerate this time, and said straightforwardly: "Senior Brother Wade Yorke is the ’eldest son’ of the Fifth Elder of North Qi Sect, Russel Yorke... As for the Warren Yorke killed by Wyatt Barnes, he was Senior Brother Wade’s ’younger brother’!"

Wow!

As the words of this Holy Land disciple fell, the scene fell into dead silence, and moments later, it erupted completely...

"Senior Brother Wade Yorke is actually the son of the Fifth Elder of North Qi Sect, Russel Yorke?"

"Oh my god! Such a thing? I’ve never heard of it before."

"Neither have I, I’ve never heard of it!"

...

Upon learning that their Fire Worship Sect Holy Land’s true disciple ’Wade Yorke’ was actually the son of the Fifth Elder of North Qi Sect, Russel Yorke, the disciples present were stunned.

Before this, they had never heard that Wade Yorke was the Fifth Elder of North Qi Sect, Russel Yorke’s son.

"Senior Brother Wade Yorke has hidden his ’identity’ so deeply... he is actually the Fifth Elder’s son!"

"In the past, I only heard that Senior Brother Wade was very arrogant... now, I see. Senior Brother Wade is so proud that he doesn’t want to rely on his father’s status to bolster himself!"

...

Many Holy Land disciples, upon learning of Wade Yorke’s ’identity’, were full of emotion.

"If that’s the case, Wade Yorke’s hostile approach towards Wyatt Barnes can be easily explained... Wyatt killed his younger brother, how can he possibly let it go easily!"

"Indeed. Perhaps Wade Yorke is mindful of the sect’s rules and doesn’t dare kill Wyatt, but crippling him... as for tormenting Wyatt, he’s definitely bold enough! After all, that’s tacitly allowed by the sect rules."

"In that case, doesn’t Wyatt Barnes seem doomed?"

"Definitely doomed! Although his strength is impressive, and rarely meets a rival below the ’Saint Immortal Realm’... when faced with Wade Yorke of the ’First Transformation of Saint Immortal’, his strength is simply insufficient."

"Exactly. Between the ’Saint Immortal Realm’ and the ’Heavenly Saint Realm’, there is inherently a huge gap, a thousand miles apart! Wyatt’s strength cannot rival Wade Yorke."

"It seems this time, Wyatt Barnes won’t end up dead or crippled, but he’ll certainly be skinned alive!"

...

After learning Wade Yorke’s identity, a group of Holy Land disciples were no longer surprised by Wade’s aggressive demeanor towards Wyatt Barnes. They began to sympathize with Wyatt instead.

Though they’d heard that Wyatt’s strength is infinitely close to the ’Saint Immortal Realm’.

Nevertheless, infinitely close to the Saint Immortal Realm is still not the Saint Immortal Realm!

Thus, in their view, Wyatt couldn’t possibly be Wade Yorke’s match and was destined to be tormented by Wade!

Due to the excellent soundproofing of the stone house behind the Holy Land disciples’ residence, Wyatt Barnes, who was inside the fourth level of the Jewel Tower, was completely unaware and didn’t know a Saint Immortal Realm powerhouse was waiting for him to emerge.

Currently, Wyatt Barnes stood in the void of the fourth level of the Jewel Tower, upright like a spear!

Wyatt just stood there motionless, like a statue, seemingly doing nothing.

Time passed quietly.

A day went by.

Two days went by.

...

It wasn’t until a month passed that Wyatt finally moved.

All of a sudden, Wyatt raised his hand, and a plain three-foot green sword appeared in his grasp, precisely the immortal treasure, the ’Splendid Fairy Sword’!

At first glance, the Splendid Fairy Sword seemed like any ordinary sword.

Whoosh!

Yet, when it was suddenly swung in Wyatt’s hand, it emitted a fierce aura, seemingly capable of annihilating the world.

Around the sword blade of the Splendid Fairy Sword, were flickering translucent Sword Energies, releasing an oppressive atmosphere.

"Sword in the heart, shadows fit the mind, control the sword with the heart, Sword Heart enlightens, Heart Sword unity..."

Sometime later, Wyatt mumbled without opening his eyes, unsure who he was speaking to.

His mouth continuously recited the five realms of the ’Supreme Heart Sword’, as if tireless, not stopping for half a day.

Time flew by.

Another month passed, ever since the sword swing a month ago, Wyatt hadn’t moved again, but now he did once more!

A month ago, he swung the Splendid Fairy Sword horizontally.

Buzz!

But this time, he swung the Splendid Fairy Sword vertically, and then was still.

In the blink of an eye, a month went by.

However, this time Wyatt didn’t move at all, still standing there, holding the Splendid Fairy Sword, resembling a sword cultivator sculpture.

"Such strong sword aura!"

Sometime, Elder Fire appeared in the fourth level of the Jewel Tower, his eyes fell on Wyatt holding the sword, his pupils shrank suddenly, showing a shocked expression.

Though Wyatt stood with the sword, seemingly ordinary.

Elder Fire clearly sensed Wyatt’s powerful and densely packed sword aura, seemingly capable of shredding everything!

Upon closer inspection, one could notice.

Around Wyatt’s body, the air in the void was split and densely packed, as if affected by countless invisible forces.

"Just one last step to go... Hope he succeeds! Once he surpasses this step... his achievements in ’Supreme Heart Sword’ will be enough to reach the pinnacle of attack martial arts in this mortal realm! Even surpassing most of the top attack martial arts in this mortal realm!"

Fire Elder murmured softly, then disappeared from the fourth level of the Jewel Tower, as if he never appeared.

After Elder Fire left, the air around Wyatt further divided.

On the tenth day, the air around Wyatt split further into strands like thread, seemingly cut into layers by an invisible force.

"Control the sword with the heart... I see! I see!!"

All of a sudden, Wyatt opened his star-like eyes, his gaze shooting out like sword light.

Meanwhile, the split air around Wyatt reaggregated, no longer affected by the fierce invisible force.

In the next moment, Wyatt released the sword.

Simultaneously, the ’Splendid Fairy Sword’ in his hand turned into a sword light, whistling through the air, its speed increasing until it vanished into the air, seemingly merging with it.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

After the ’Splendid Fairy Sword’ disappeared, the sword whistle sound didn’t cease, still resounding in the fourth level of the Jewel Tower.

Approximately a quarter of an hour later, the sword whistle sound finally ceased.

At nearly the same moment the sword whistle stopped, the ’Splendid Fairy Sword’ appeared in Wyatt’s hand again, like a phantom.
