Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1446 Elder Easton

"Elder Easton?!"

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, the surrounding group of external disciples was immediately taken aback.

In their outer sect area, wasn’t there only one Elder Easton?

And besides, that person was none other than the Grand Elder of the Moon Radiance Sect’s outer sect, overseeing the entire outer sect!

Within the Moon Radiance Sect, the status of Elder Easton even surpassed that of some inner sect elders.

"Heh!"

Vein Weber sneered, "Wyatt, don’t you think you’re daydreaming? Who do you think you are? And you think Elder Easton would vouch for and witness a wager on your behalf?"

At the same time, the surrounding group of external disciples also looked at Wyatt with suspicion in their eyes.

None of them seemed to believe Wyatt’s claim.

Elder Easton, though he was the Grand Elder of the outer sect and usually resided in the outer sect area, was a mysterious figure whose presence was rarely seen.

In fact, many of the external disciples who had joined the Moon Radiance Sect five years ago had never even laid eyes on Elder Easton.

Now, this Wyatt—who had only been in the sect for two months—was claiming that Elder Easton would personally vouch for and oversee his wager?

For the moment, no one could believe it.

"It seems there are still doubts among you... In that case, this time tomorrow, I’ll set up the wager on the Martial Arts Performance Field. Before then, I’ll have Elder Easton make a statement."

Facing the skepticism of the outer sect disciples, Wyatt was not surprised. "For those who have already placed bets with me earlier, if you wish to reclaim your stakes by tomorrow, you may come by with your receipts."

After speaking, Wyatt turned and left, leaving behind a group of perplexed external disciples and a smirking Vein Weber.

"Elder Easton vouching for and witnessing a wager? Wyatt is utterly delusional!"

Vein Weber sneered repeatedly.

Originally, Vein Weber had thought that Wyatt’s departure would allow his wager setup to proceed smoothly... but he soon realized that the morale of the crowd had shifted. None of the external disciples showed any further interest in betting with him.

"Do you think Wyatt Barnes really has the ability to get Elder Easton to vouch for and oversee his wager?"

"I highly doubt it."

"Yeah, I think it’s incredibly unlikely... But, the way Wyatt Barnes spoke, he did seem awfully confident."

"Could it be that Elder Easton secretly took Wyatt Barnes as a disciple?"

"That actually seems possible! Even though Elder Easton is elusive, as the Grand Elder of the outer sect, he surely knows about recent happenings in the outer sect... Wyatt Barnes’ talent would undoubtedly catch his eye."

"I don’t believe it!"

"Why not?"

"Think about it... If Wyatt Barnes really were Elder Easton’s disciple, would Elder Easton let him accept Sail Fenning’s Life and Death Duel challenge letter?"

"You make a good point."

...

The crowd dispersed amidst endless speculations, with none of the external disciples bothering to approach Thiago Relief to place their bets.

"I’m really looking forward to tomorrow now."

"Same here. Tomorrow, we’ll know the truth."

"If Wyatt Barnes can truly get Elder Easton to vouch for his wager, I won’t hold back—I’ll bet all my merit points on Sail Fenning!"

...

As the external disciples walked away, their gossip filled the air.

Before long, the entire outer sect region had heard about Wyatt Barnes’ wager and his claim that Elder Easton would vouch for him.

Most people believed Wyatt was merely bluffing.

"I hope he’s telling the truth... If Elder Easton really vouches for him, I won’t miss the chance to place a bet!"

"Me too. Wyatt Barnes doesn’t stand a chance."

"Is he just trying to spread his wealth to us before his death?"

...

While the outer sect buzzed with rumors, Wyatt himself was heading to a desolate spot in the outer sect, a secluded location rarely visited by anyone.

Of course, the reason why it was rarely visited was that this area was a forbidden zone within the outer sect.

Moments later, Wyatt arrived before a solitary, expansive mansion, murmuring to himself, "This should be the place."

Taking a deep breath, Wyatt approached the mansion.

The gates were wide open, devoid of any signs of life.

But just as Wyatt ventured closer to the gates, two towering figures suddenly blocked his path, resembling two immovable iron towers.

"Kid, don’t you know this is a forbidden zone in the outer sect?"

"As an external disciple, you dare ignore the rules and trespass into the forbidden zone... Do you realize the gravity of your actions?"

The two towering men questioned Wyatt sharply, taking turns with their booming voices.

"I’ve come to see Elder Easton."

Faced with their overwhelming aura, Wyatt remained calm, speaking in an even tone.

"Hah! Elder Easton isn’t someone you can just meet whenever you please!"

The two men stepped forward, their imposing auras pressing down on Wyatt like a tidal wave, clearly intending to intimidate him.

However, they were destined to be disappointed.

Wyatt stood firm, unflinching and unmoved by their pressure.

"I ask that the two of you convey a message for me: an external disciple by the name of ’Wyatt Barnes’ requests an audience with Elder Easton on an important matter."

Under their astonished gaze, Wyatt clasped his hands in a respectful salute, his demeanor calm and composed.

"You’re Wyatt Barnes?"

The two men were startled upon hearing his name. They immediately began sizing him up. "Other than looking a bit handsome, there’s nothing special about you... Did you really just join the outer sect and already defeat someone ranked among the top hundred?"

"And after just one month in the sect, you defeated the disciple ranked forty-seventh? Interesting."

It was evident the two men had heard of Wyatt before.

"Wyatt Barnes, if you’ve come to ask Elder Easton to help you withdraw from the Life and Death Duel challenge letter, you’re wasting your time."

After recognizing Wyatt as the young man in purple, the two men adopted a friendlier tone, with one of them shaking his head as he spoke.

Given Wyatt’s talent, as long as he had time to mature, he was destined to be a standout figure in the Moon Radiance Sect. A century from now, he might even become one of its pillars.

Because of this, they dared not treat Wyatt carelessly.

"Have you come here because you feel it would be shameful to decline the challenge yourself, so you’re hoping to persuade Elder Easton to pressure Sail Fenning into withdrawing his Life and Death Duel challenge?"

The other man spoke plainly. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Withdraw a challenge letter?

Hearing this, Wyatt froze.

Were these two unaware that he had already accepted Sail Fenning’s challenge letter for a Life and Death Duel?

As it turned out, Wyatt’s guess was correct.

Although he had accepted Sail Fenning’s Life and Death Duel challenge letter earlier that morning, and the news had already spread throughout the outer sect, it had yet to reach this secluded corner.

"It seems the two of you have misunderstood."

Wyatt replied, "Early this morning, I emerged from seclusion and accepted Sail Fenning’s Life and Death Duel challenge! Three days from now, we will do battle on the Martial Arts Performance Field! If the two of you are interested, you’re welcome to come and watch."

Wyatt’s words stunned the two men.

"You accepted it?"

They had never imagined that Wyatt would actually accept Sail Fenning’s Life and Death Duel challenge.

Before this, they had been nearly certain that Wyatt would refuse it.

They knew all about Sail Fenning’s capabilities, after all.

Yet, reality seemed to have pulled a trick on them.

"May I trouble the two of you to relay my request."

Wyatt asked again.

At that moment, the two men no longer dared to underestimate Wyatt in the slightest.

Regardless of whether Wyatt’s acceptance of the challenge stemmed from confidence or some other reason, his courage alone commanded respect.

"Wait here a moment."

One of the men responded and walked into the mansion.

"Wyatt Barnes, you actually accepted Sail Fenning’s Life and Death Duel... Do you even know who Sail Fenning really is?"

The remaining man couldn’t resist asking.

He considered the possibility that Wyatt had accepted the challenge due to sheer ignorance of Sail Fenning’s true prowess.

"An external disciple like me."

Wyatt answered nonchalantly.

"Do you realize he’s no ordinary external disciple?"

The man’s lips twitched in disbelief. Judging by Wyatt’s casual tone, it seemed like he might not actually know about Sail Fenning’s background.

"The fifth-ranked disciple in the outer sect."

Wyatt replied with ease.

The man’s expression shifted to one of confirmation, but Wyatt added, "Oh, and on the Earth List, I believe he’s ranked ninety-ninth."

"You know he’s ranked on the Earth List, and you still accepted his Life and Death Duel challenge?"

The man’s eyes widened.

Wyatt’s response caught him off guard, filling him with growing curiosity—did Wyatt simply have a death wish?

"Does this mean he’s confident in defeating Sail Fenning?"

A thought suddenly flickered through the man’s mind, but he dismissed it just as quickly.

"Impossible! That’s absolutely impossible! Wyatt Barnes might be talented, but he’s been in the Moon Radiance Sect for just two months, and his cultivation is likely not even at the ’Transcending Mortal Realm’s pinnacle’ yet."

The man mused silently.

Watching Wyatt patiently waiting, calm and composed, the man felt a twinge of surprise in his heart.

The young man before him displayed a maturity far beyond his years.

This left the man unexpectedly impressed.

"I don’t know why you’ve come to see Elder Easton, but I’ll warn you—Elder Easton may not agree to meet you."

The man remarked.

"If he doesn’t meet me, that’s his loss."

Wyatt responded coldly.
