Chapter 2861: Reunion with Milana Harrington

"Are you threatening me?"

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Killian Diaz’s face changed dramatically.

As a Bodhisattva of the Joyous Zen Sect, when had he ever been threatened like this?

"You can see it that way."

Wyatt said calmly, "As a Bodhisattva of the Joyous Zen Sect and a candidate for the next Sect Leader, you’d better think more about the Joyous Zen Sect... lest not only you lose your life, but also drag down the Joyous Zen Sect."

As he spoke, a chilling glint flashed through Wyatt’s eyes.

His body also exuded a powerful confidence.

It was as if there truly was a powerful family called the ’Crimson Heaven Barnes’ behind him in the center territory.

"Hmph!"

Almost the moment Wyatt finished speaking, as Killian’s complexion changed again, Maximus Lee coldly looked at Wyatt. After a cold snort, he said in a deep voice, "From what Alchemist Barnes is saying... if Killian offends you, you won’t just act against him but also against our Joyous Zen Sect?"

"If the Joyous Zen Sect decides to make him a Bodhisattva, naturally they must be prepared to be dragged down by him."

Facing Maximus Lee, whose face seemed covered with a layer of frost, Wyatt’s expression remained unchanged. His tone never wavered, as if he had no fear of Maximus, the Nine Palaces Immortal Lord.

Maximus stared intently at Wyatt, seeming to want to discern any sign of guilt on Wyatt’s face.

As long as there was even a hint of guilt on Wyatt’s face, Maximus would immediately strike him down with thunderous force...

However, from beginning to end, Wyatt’s face remained indifferent, as if he could remain calm even in the face of an avalanche, exuding an inherent strong confidence.

This left Maximus hesitant.

Although Wyatt hadn’t provided any evidence of his identity, and he had never heard of a ’Crimson Heaven Barnes’ in the central territory, there was a possibility Wyatt was lying.

Yet, even so, until he was fully sure Wyatt was lying, Maximus dared not heedlessly act against Wyatt.

After all, if Wyatt wasn’t lying and indeed had a significant background, the ones to suffer would be them, the Joyous Zen Sect.

Besides, the conflict between the Joyous Zen Sect and Wyatt Barnes wasn’t big enough to warrant taking such a risk.

"Hmph!"

Maximus coldly snorted again. After casting a deep glance at Wyatt, he shifted his gaze to Killian, "Killian, let’s go!"

Hearing this, Killian immediately followed Maximus and left.

The others in the Joyous Zen Sect also followed and departed.

"Master Ancestor, do you really believe what he said?"

As he followed Maximus, Killian couldn’t help but ask him.

"No."

Maximus shook his head, "His words can’t be fully trusted, but they can’t be dismissed either... Until his identity and background are confirmed, unless our conflict with him becomes irreconcilable, there’s no need for us to take risks."

"As for his identity and background, I’ll immediately report back to the Sect and have the Sect Leader send someone to investigate."

"I will search the entire Desolate Territory to uncover his details and origins! If he truly belongs to that ’Crimson Heaven Barnes’ from the central territory, so be it. If not, and he doesn’t have any background that makes us wary... then he will undoubtedly die!"

He will undoubtedly die!

Maximus emphasized these words heavily, filled with chilling intent.

Evidently, Wyatt’s earlier ’threat’ to Killian had thoroughly enraged him!

Upon hearing this, a gleam appeared in Killian’s eyes.

"I hope you weren’t lying... because once our Joyous Zen Sect uncovers your identity background, it will be the day of your demise!"

Killian glanced back at Wyatt in the distance, with a flash of killing intent in his eyes.

As the people of the Joyous Zen Sect departed, the gazes from the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect and the Thousand Spiders Immortal Sect fell upon Wyatt once more.

No one would have anticipated:

The chief alchemist of the Taiyi Immortal Sect had such an extraordinary background!

"Alchemist Barnes, I apologize for any offense earlier, as I was unaware of your identity."

Now, both the Sect Leader of the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, Ole Ferguson, and the Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Immortal Sect, Julie Simplicity, treated Wyatt quite courteously.

There was no doubt about Wyatt’s identity.

After all, a Mystic Realm Rowan Upper Immortal under a hundred years old, who was also a top-grade alchemist capable of refining Rowan Heaven Pills, wasn’t someone any ordinary power could cultivate.

Furthermore, even among the ten great families of the central territory, cultivating such a figure likely depended largely on luck.

"Alchemist Barnes, Elder Ho, Sect Leader Simplicity, I see an acquaintance over there... I’ll go over and say hello."

Suddenly, the Sect Leader of the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, Ole Ferguson, glanced into the distance. His eyes brightened, and after greeting Wyatt, Elder Ancestor Beckham Ho, and Sect Leader Julie Simplicity, he left with the people from the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect.

When greeting the three, he prioritized Wyatt first, clearly regarding him as someone from a central territory noble family.

"Sect Leader, the people of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect have arrived."

Just as Ole Ferguson departed, a top-grade alchemist of the Thousand Spiders Immortal Sect, after glancing into the distance, conveniently reminded Sect Leader Julie Simplicity.

Suddenly, Julie Simplicity followed his gaze and immediately saw the group of people who had just entered the Pill Tao Square.

This group consisted of ten people, all of whom were women without exception.

The one leading was a beautiful matron, followed by three elderly women, two middle-aged women, three young women, and a girl.

The girl wore a green dress and started looking around as soon as she entered the Pill Tao Square.

"Brother Leandro... isn’t she the girl I saw last time?"

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes heard Leilany’s voice in his ear.

"It’s her."

Wyatt also saw the girl in green, who was the disciple of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect, ’Alisson.’ She had previously visited the residence where Wyatt’s sect had settled, just to meet Leilany, to see if Leilany was more beautiful than her senior sister.

When Leilany recognized Alisson, Elder Ancestor, Hunter Swayer, and Russel Yorke also recognized Alisson.

"It’s this little lady again..."

Russel Yorke smiled wryly.

Moments later, Wyatt’s gaze shifted to the woman beside the green-clad girl.

At that moment, the woman was chatting with the green girl and hadn’t noticed his side.

This woman wore a light purple simple dress, her eyebrows like green feathers, her skin like white snow, her waist slender and graceful.

Though a thin veil covered her cheeks, her slightly cold autumn eyes and her elegant and ethereal aura were enough to eclipse everything around her.

Furthermore, her cheeks were covered by a thin veil.

But, because the veil was semi-transparent, her silhouette beneath it was faintly visible, vaguely revealing the perfect curve of her cheeks.

One couldn’t help but feel the urge to lift the veil and take a look at the beauty beneath.

Imagining her allure with the veil is captivating enough.

If the veil were removed, revealing her face without its restraint, it would undoubtedly be a stunning beauty...

"It’s her!"

With just one glance, Wyatt recognized:

This woman was the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect disciple, ’Milana Harrington,’ with whom he once shared a night of passion!

Milana Harrington’s current appearance was just as when he first saw her.

Moreover, seemingly sensing Wyatt’s gaze, the purple-clad woman who had been talking with the green-dress girl, Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s Milana Harrington, slightly turned her head to look in Wyatt’s direction.

In an instant, their eyes met.

And Milana Harrington’s body shivered as if struck by lightning, pausing in place, not following the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect group.

"Third Senior Sister?"

The green-clad girl, Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect disciple Alisson, also noticed something was wrong with Milana Harrington.

In the next moment, she followed Milana Harrington’s gaze and first saw Wyatt Barnes, who was exchanging a look with Milana Harrington, "I wondered why Third Senior Sister suddenly blanked... turns out it’s because of this pretty boy."

"Hmph! Irresponsible pretty boy!"

Previously, Alisson was clueless about what had transpired between her Third Senior Sister Milana Harrington and Wyatt Barnes.

Now that she knew, she immediately felt Wyatt Barnes, as a man, was irresponsible towards her Third Senior Sister, deeming him unreliable.

"Hmm?"

The Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect also noticed Milana Harrington and Alisson falling behind and couldn’t help but turn to look at them, "Milana, Alisson, why aren’t you..."

The words ’coming up’ following ’why aren’t you...’ hadn’t even escaped the Sect Leader’s lips when she was captivated by Milana Harrington’s gaze.

It was simply because it was the first time she had seen Milana Harrington show such a look.

That gaze, she had only seen in the eyes of her twin sister, Milana Harrington’s biological mother, when she spoke of the man she liked.

Generally, her sister would only show such a gaze when thinking about or seeing that man.

In the next moment, she also traced Milana Harrington’s gaze to look at Wyatt Barnes.

"It’s him!"

Almost instantly upon seeing Wyatt Barnes, the Sect Leader’s face drastically changed.

Because she never expected to see this young man here, whom she had only seen in a painting before, the same man she had once sent her elders to hunt down for sullying her niece’s purity...

The elder had returned to the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect and told her that the man’s name was ’Wyatt Barnes,’ and had also given her a portrait of him.

"Wyatt Barnes... No wonder, that name sounded somewhat familiar."

"It turns out the one who ruined Milana’s purity is this top alchemist of the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect, Wyatt Barnes!"

At this moment, the Sect Leader of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect also noticed the people from the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect beside Wyatt Barnes, making it easy to guess:

This Wyatt Barnes was the celebrated ’chief alchemist’ of the Dragon Warrior Immortal Sect who recently gained fame in Pill Tao City!
