CHAPTER 2042: CHAPTER 2042: ENFORCEMENT HALL VICE HALL MASTER, JOHNNY REID!

However, although her master also despised Emma Wenston, it was inconvenient to act against her.

After all, her master was one of the Three Great Protectors of the Fire Worship Sect. If he acted against a disciple of the sect, the news would spread and make them a laughingstock.

At that time, the Fire Worship Sect might become the "laughingstock" of those in the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.

"Wyatt Barnes, I’ve done all I can to help you..."

After Shmuel Morgan left with the sound-condensing jade slip, Paisley Flores muttered to herself.

And when Shmuel Morgan left the Prisoner Surveillance Hall with the jade slip given by Paisley and was about to leave the Enforcement Hall,

Wyatt Barnes was already back in the main hall of the Enforcement Hall.

Upon return, he immediately went to find Reuben Willow...

The promise made to Dash Willow was always on his mind!

"Junior Brother Wyatt, did you meet the Saintess and her daughter?"

Seeing Wyatt Barnes return, Reuben Willow couldn’t help but ask immediately.

"No."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head with a bitter smile, "They weren’t confined with Paisley Flores; I only saw Paisley alone."

"That’s a pity."

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Reuben Willow sighed and began to comfort him, "Junior Brother Wyatt, I’ll find some time to sound out my grandfather’s intentions... to see if I can help you find a chance to meet the Saintess and her daughter."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Reuben."

Although he knew what Reuben said was almost impossible, Wyatt Barnes still thanked him repeatedly, as Reuben’s intentions were kind.

"Senior Brother Reuben!"

After his expression changed several times, Wyatt Barnes bit his lip, as if making a decision, and suddenly looked at Reuben Willow.

"Hmm?"

Seeing Wyatt Barnes’ sudden serious look, Reuben Willow was taken aback and asked suspiciously, "Junior Brother Wyatt, what’s the matter?"

"Senior Brother Reuben, although we’ve only known each other for a short time, we’ve already formed a bond."

Wyatt Barnes said earnestly, making Reuben Willow smile and shake his head.

However, Wyatt Barnes’ next words froze the smile on Reuben’s face completely.

"Senior Brother Reuben, from now on, let’s not associate with each other anymore!"

This sentence wiped the smile from Reuben Willow’s face completely, and he looked at Wyatt Barnes incredulously, "Junior Brother Wyatt... What do you mean by this? Do you think my association with you is too much to ask?"

By the end, Reuben Willow’s tone had changed somewhat.

"Of course not!"

Wyatt Barnes knew Reuben misunderstood, and he couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "Senior Brother Reuben, in my heart, you will always be my senior brother, my friend... but you are not just a person; there is also a family behind you! Besides, even if you were alone, I would make the same decision today."

"Since coming to the Fire Worship Sect, I’ve offended quite a few people... Particularly, the recent offense against Fore Reid, whose father is the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall! While I’m not afraid of him, I don’t want to implicate you, or the family behind you."

Wyatt Barnes’ words were sincere.

"Did my grandfather ask you to do this?"

Reuben Willow looked a bit displeased and spoke solemnly, having guessed something vaguely.

"Senior Brother Reuben, if I don’t wish to do something, no one can persuade or force me... This decision is also mine! Our friendship, and our friendship with Senior Brother Kori, will never change. But for now, it’s best if we maintain some distance."

Wyatt Barnes said seriously, "I promise you, one day I’ll eliminate all threats... by then, we’ll drink together again without any concerns in our interactions!"

Wyatt Barnes’ words left Reuben Willow’s expression fluctuating.

"At most, I’ll leave my family!"

In the end, Reuben Willow gritted his teeth and decided to leave the Willow Family, so he wouldn’t worry about his issues affecting them.

"Senior Brother Reuben, you mustn’t do that!"

Wyatt Barnes was startled but also warmed by the thought; he hadn’t expected Reuben to be willing to leave his family for him as a friend!

In the end, it was Wyatt Barnes’ pretense of falling out that barely got Reuben Willow to agree to follow his plan.

That day, a shocking piece of news spread from the main hall of the Enforcement Hall.

Wyatt Barnes had a conflict with his former friend ’Reuben Willow’, injuring him, after which Reuben’s family’s elder, Elder Silver Flame ’Dash Willow’, taught Wyatt a lesson.

Wyatt Barnes and Reuben Willow were thus divided and became strangers henceforth!

Instantly, the entire Holy Land of the Fire Worship Sect was in an uproar.

"Senior Brother Wyatt and Senior Brother Reuben have fallen out?"

"Why? Weren’t they on very good terms? How did they suddenly become estranged?"

...

Many Holy Land disciples, upon hearing the news, were perplexed and bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

"Brother Yun and Junior Brother Wyatt... have fallen out?"

The one most affected was ’Kori Willow’.

Compared to his cousin ’Reuben Willow’, he had known Wyatt Barnes earlier and had even introduced him to Reuben.

In his memory, Junior Brother Wyatt wasn’t someone who would stir up trouble for no reason.

Could it be that his cousin was at fault?

For a moment, Kori Willow was also filled with anxiety, wishing she could go to the ’Enforcement Hall’ right now to find Wyatt Barnes and Reuben Willow to get to the bottom of it.

However, the rule for any Fire Worship Sect elder or disciple stepping into the Enforcement Hall requires that it not be for personal matters, so no matter how much she wanted to go to the Enforcement Hall to find Wyatt Barnes and Reuben Willow, she couldn’t.

She could only wait for a month until Wyatt Barnes and Reuben Willow’s duty period was over and they returned to ask them.

In the main hall of the Enforcement Hall.

The main hall is very large, and it also serves as the residence of ’Fore Reid’, the Copper Flame Elder of the Enforcement Hall.

"Wyatt Barnes, breaking ties with Reuben Willow?"

When Fore Reid learned of this news, he couldn’t help but pause, then sneered, "Wyatt Barnes, you’re really a jinx... It’s hard to make a friend, and you break ties just like that! Unfortunately, Elder Dash Willow was too gentle with you, didn’t do anything to you."

"However, just because Elder Dash Willow is gentle doesn’t mean my people will be!"

With this thought, Fore Reid left his residence, leaving the ’main hall’ of the Enforcement Hall.

On the eastern side of the Enforcement Hall’s territory is the ’forbidden area’ of the Enforcement Hall.

The Hall Master and several Vice Hall Masters of the Enforcement Hall usually cultivate there.

Of course, to ordinary elders and disciples of the Enforcement Hall, this is a ’forbidden area’ where they must not set foot without reason.

But, Fore Reid is an exception.

Because he is the only son of ’Johnny Reid’, one of the three Vice Hall Masters of the Enforcement Hall, and no one would say anything even if he frequently comes and goes from this place.

In a tranquil valley, filled with birdsong and the scent of flowers, there is a waterfall in the north, and the sound of rushing water can be faintly heard from within.

In the open space in front of the waterfall, there stands a mansion.

The mansion is built against the mountain and by the water, looking very pleasant.

Whoosh!

Like a gust of wind blowing by, Fore Reid appeared in front of the mansion.

"Junior Lord!"

Almost at the moment Fore Reid appeared in front of the mansion, a figure gradually solidified in front of him, revealing a plainly dressed old man.

The old man is thin and feeble, standing there like a withered tree, extremely inconspicuous.

"Elder Yorke."

Despite the inconspicuousness of the old man, even someone as proud as Fore Reid shows respect when meeting him, bowing in a courteous greeting.

The old man before him is nominally a ’servant’ by his father’s side.

But he knows very well:

This old man’s strength is not much weaker than his father’s.

In the Fire Worship Sect, he is definitely a character akin to a ’gold flame elder’.

"Is the Junior Lord here to see the master?"

The old man asked, his voice somewhat hoarse, as if he were already at the edge of death.

"Yes."

Fore Reid nodded, while a trace of undiscoverable hatred flashed in his eyes.

Johnny Reid, one of the Vice Hall Masters in the Enforcement Hall, has a middle-aged appearance, a robust build, standing in the mansion’s backyard like an iron tower.

"Father!"

Led by Elder Yorke to the backyard, Fore Reid respectfully saluted upon seeing Johnny Reid.

"Hmm."

Johnny Reid maintains a stern presence before Fore Reid.

Though he doted on this son a lot, to ensure his son’s future, he often kept a strict face, fearing his son might grow complacent in cultivation due to excessive pampering.

That is not something he wishes to see.

In this world where the strong dictate everything, power is the ruling force.

Johnny Reid, before reaching the ’Seventh Transformation of Saint Immortal’, will eventually age and sleep eternally, unable to protect his son forever.

"Father, I..."

Fore Reid opened his mouth but was interrupted by Johnny Reid before finishing his sentence.

"Your visit this time is to ask me to have someone teach that Wyatt Barnes a lesson?"

Johnny Reid interrupted Fore Reid, asking calmly, his wise eyes seeming to see through everything.

"Yes."

Fore Reid bit his teeth and eventually nodded his head.

"As your father, I suppose I would prefer you to solve this with your strength... However, I heard that the guy named ’Wyatt Barnes’ is quite peculiar, you’re not his match."

Johnny Reid, with his words, clearly had heard of ’Wyatt Barnes’ existence.

Of course, in his eyes, Wyatt Barnes wasn’t much of a concern.

Even if Wyatt Barnes’s strength could suppress the existence of the ’Second Transformation of Saint Immortal’, comparable to the ’Third Transformation of Saint Immortal’!

But Johnny Reid, as the Vice Hall Master of the Fire Worship Sect’s Enforcement Hall, stands supreme over most ’gold flame elders’, even with half a foot into ’Sixth Transformation of Saint Immortal’!

Not to mention the existence of ’Third Transformation of Saint Immortal’, even those at the ’Fourth Transformation of Saint Immortal’ are nothing in his eyes.
