Chapter 2891: You... Came to See Me?

That’s why Daven Buckingham knew:

The Elder Ancestor ’Maximus Lee’ of the Huan Xi Zen Sect, along with their Buddha ’Killian Diaz’, had deep-seated conflicts with Ta Yi Xian Sect’s Chief Alchemy Master Wyatt Barnes...

Adding to that, with Maximus Lee’s obsessive personality, if it weren’t for the backing of the Central Region Family ’Crimson Heaven Barnes’ behind Alchemist Barnes of Ta Yi Xian Sect, Maximus might have lost control long ago and taken action against Alchemist Barnes!

"Why have they come?"

As Daven Buckingham heard Maximus Lee’s voice, Hunter Swayer, Russel Yorke, and Joshua Davies, the three Alchemy Masters of Ta Yi Xian Sect, also heard Maximus Lee’s voice, causing their expressions to change drastically.

Like others from Ta Yi Xian Sect, they too felt that the people from Huan Xi Zen Sect came with ill intent!

"Maximus Lee? Killian Diaz?"

Wyatt Barnes, who had recently mastered the Monarch Level Divine Ability ’Purple Energy from the East’ won from the Xuan Tian Sect, was initially immersed in the comprehension of the Monarch Level Immortal Method ’Immovable King’ from the Huan Xi Zen Sect, but he was abruptly startled awake by Maximus Lee’s voice.

"Why have they come?"

Wyatt was curious about this, but he subtly sensed:

Maximus Lee and Killian Diaz’s visit surely wasn’t a friendly one!

The Monarch Level Immortal Method ’Immovable King’ was something they lost to me under the witness of the Immortal Master Alliance and the top sects of the Southeastern Six Regions... The Huan Xi Zen Sect wouldn’t dare shamelessly ask for it back unless they truly disregarded their reputation.

"If that’s the case... why have they come?"

No matter how Wyatt thought about it, he couldn’t figure out why the Elder Ancestor Maximus Lee and Buddha Killian Diaz of Huan Xi Zen Sect had come.

Because Wyatt wasn’t worried that Maximus would act against Ta Yi Xian Sect, he quickly dismissed the issue and continued to comprehend the Monarch Level Immortal Method ’Immovable King’ from Huan Xi Zen Sect.

Wyatt intuitively felt:

This visit wasn’t aimed at him.

After all, the identity of belonging to the Central Region Family ’Crimson Heaven Barnes’ that Wyatt had fabricated at the Pill Tao Conference would be enough to make Maximus cautious, even retreating!

Seated cross-legged on the bed, a layer of golden light faintly appeared on Wyatt’s surface.

Upon closer inspection, it could be noticed:

This faint golden light seemingly formed a semi-transparent golden Buddha, enveloping Wyatt entirely, as if protecting Wyatt inside a tight, impenetrable shield.

This was an involuntary demonstration of the Monarch Level Immortal Method during Wyatt’s comprehension of ’Immovable King’, which hadn’t been fully mastered yet.

...

In Ta Yi Xian Sect, within the main hall that Sect Leader Daven Buckingham usually used to receive guests, five figures stood there.

Of these five figures, three stood on one side, and two stood on the other.

The three included Ta Yi Xian Sect’s Sect Leader Daven Buckingham, their Top-grade Alchemy Master Hunter Swayer, and their former Left Protector, now Grand Elder Cain Iron.

Facing them were the two visitors unwelcome to Ta Yi Xian Sect today.

They were the Elder Ancestor Maximus Lee and Buddha Killian Diaz of Huan Xi Zen Sect.

"Senior Maximus Lee, may I ask the purpose of your visit to our Ta Yi Xian Sect this time?"

No matter the identity or strength of Maximus Lee, Sect Leader Daven Buckingham didn’t dare to be reckless or negligent in front of him, showing utmost respect.

"Where is your Chief Alchemy Master Wyatt Barnes from Ta Yi Xian Sect?"

However, facing the respectful Daven Buckingham, Maximus Lee didn’t bother to even glance at him, instead impatiently asking.

"Alchemist Barnes?"

Daven Buckingham was taken aback, "Senior Maximus Lee, you... you came to see Alchemist Barnes?"

"Alchemist Barnes?"

Hunter Swayer and Cain Iron exchanged glances at this time, surprised to find that Maximus Lee, seemingly coming with ill intent, was actually here to see Ta Yi Xian Sect’s Chief Alchemy Master Wyatt Barnes.

Instantly, they felt at ease.

In their view:

With the background of Alchemist Barnes from Ta Yi Xian Sect belonging to the Central Region Family, Maximus Lee wouldn’t dare act recklessly; perhaps Maximus had something to request from Alchemist Barnes.

After all, Alchemist Barnes was not only Ta Yi Xian Sect’s Chief Alchemy Master but also recognized as the ’Number One Top-grade Alchemy Master’ in the Southeastern Six Regions.

After the last Pill Tao Conference, the previously acknowledged number one Top-grade Alchemy Master Charles Davidson openly admitted that his alchemy skills were inferior to Wyatt Barnes.

Coupled with the impressive Pill Tao prowess Wyatt displayed at the last conference.

Wyatt Barnes, following the last Pill Tao Conference, was also publicly acknowledged by people of the Southeastern Six Regions as the ’Number One Top-grade Alchemy Master’.

In recent years, there have been others seeking out Alchemist Barnes for pill refining, but none had as prominent status as the Elder Ancestor Maximus Lee before them.

"Senior Maximus Lee, are you... here to request Alchemist Barnes for pill refinement?"

Upon hearing Maximus Lee was looking for Wyatt Barnes, Daven Buckingham was briefly stunned before realizing and secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

"For pill refinement?"

Hearing Daven Buckingham’s words, Maximus Lee was momentarily taken aback.

"Hmph!"

At this moment, Buddha Killian Diaz who was next to Maximus Lee suddenly let out a cold snort, "This time, we’re not here to seek out Wyatt Barnes for pill refining... Either have him come out quickly to meet my Elder Ancestor or take us to find him!"

Upon hearing Killian Diaz’s words, Daven Buckingham’s brows furrowed.

If it weren’t for Maximus Lee, he would have already shouted angrily...

As the rightful heir to the next generation Sect Leader of the Joyous Zen Sect, he still doesn’t have the standing to shout in front of him, the Sect Leader of the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

He, as the Sect Leader of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, was someone who could stand as an equal with the current Sect Leader of the Joyous Zen Sect in the southeast six domains.

"Take us to him."

At this moment, Maximus Lee returned to his senses, glanced coldly at Daven Buckingham, and said.

"Predecessor Maximus Lee, why are you looking for Alchemist Barnes?"

Daven Buckingham asked in a deep voice.

After Killian Diaz caused such an uproar, he vaguely felt that this Elder Ancestor of the Joyous Zen Sect, Maximus Lee, coming to look for their Taiyi Immortal Sect’s Alchemist Barnes was likely not for any good reason.

However, recalling the status and background of their Taiyi Immortal Sect’s Alchemist Barnes, his heart steadied.

"I don’t want to repeat myself."

Faced with Daven Buckingham’s inquiry, not only did Maximus Lee not respond, but he replied coldly, giving an impression as if winter had arrived, a feeling of being surrounded by ice and snow.

"Predecessor Maximus Lee, please follow me."

Faced with the anger of Maximus Lee, even Daven Buckingham, the Sect Leader of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, couldn’t help but feel some fear, and dared not ask further.

After beckoning Maximus Lee, Daven Buckingham obediently led the way.

At this moment, Daven Buckingham still felt:

With their Taiyi Immortal Sect’s Alchemist Barnes’ status and background, they need not fear Maximus Lee, and Maximus Lee wouldn’t dare act rashly.

Seeing Daven Buckingham cooperate, Maximus Lee’s expression softened slightly, and he followed Daven Buckingham alongside Killian Diaz.

Hunter Swayer and Cain Iron exchanged a glance, then joined the three of them.

"Alchemist Swayer, this Elder Ancestor of the Joyous Zen Sect, Maximus Lee, seems not to come with good intentions..."

Cain Iron communicated to Hunter Swayer through voice transmission.

"It seems so... But, no matter how ill-intentioned he appears, would he really dare act against Alchemist Barnes? Don’t forget, Alchemist Barnes is a member of the de la Crimsons family from the Central Lands!"

In Hunter Swayer’s voice transmission response, there was filled with confidence for Wyatt Barnes.

"That’s true."

Cain Iron nodded.

The identity of Wyatt Barnes, as a member of the de la Crimsons family from the Central Lands, was known to him before. So now, with Hunter Swayer’s reminder, his heart also settled.

Now, regardless of Daven Buckingham, or Hunter Swayer, or Cain Iron, they all had full confidence in Wyatt Barnes.

Because they never imagined, Wyatt Barnes would deceive them...

Never considered that Wyatt Barnes’ identity as a member of the de la Crimsons family from the Central Lands was just a fabrication by him.

"Alchemist Barnes, Elder Ancestor Maximus Lee of the Joyous Zen Sect has come to see you."

Bringing Elder Ancestor Maximus Lee and Joyous Zen Sect’s Killian Diaz to the courtyard where Wyatt Barnes resided, Daven Buckingham, the Sect Leader of Taiyi Immortal Sect, took a deep breath and called inside.

His voice carried dense Immortal Origin, easily penetrating the formation barriers of Wyatt Barnes’s room, reaching Wyatt’s ears instantly.

"Hmm?"

"That Elder Ancestor Maximus Lee of Joyous Zen Sect... came looking for me?"

Wyatt Barnes, awakened by Daven Buckingham’s voice, slightly contracted his pupils, then rose swiftly from the bed, and walked out of the room, leaving the courtyard.

Recently immersed in the study of Immortal Methods and Divine Abilities, Wyatt Barnes and Leilany were in separate rooms.

"Brother Wyatt?"

However, when Wyatt Barnes stepped out of the courtyard, the door of the room where Leilany was also opened, and she emerged, following Wyatt out of the courtyard.

Leilany naturally stood beside Wyatt Barnes, wrapping her hand around his arm.

"What a divine couple!"

Even though it wasn’t their first time witnessing Wyatt Barnes and Leilany’s closeness, Daven Buckingham, Hunter Swayer, and Cain Iron couldn’t help but have this thought, feeling that Wyatt and Leilany were a perfect match.

They were just like a divine couple, a pair of immortal lovers!

"Wyatt Barnes, didn’t expect you actually haven’t left Taiyi Immortal Sect..."

Upon seeing Wyatt Barnes, Killian Diaz’s face showed a deep sneer, "You probably could never dream that my master and I would come knocking, right? What you couldn’t foresee even more... is why we are here?"

As Killian Diaz spoke later, not only did the sneer deepen on his face, but a chilling coldness shot from his eyes.

Only, faced with Killian’s sneer, Wyatt Barnes didn’t even spare him a glance.

His gaze, the moment he stepped out of the courtyard, was fixed on Elder Ancestor Maximus Lee of the Joyous Zen Sect.

"You... looking for me?"

Wyatt Barnes glanced casually at Maximus Lee and asked.
