Chapter 2916: The Death of Preston Buckingham

"Save you?"

Originally standing far away, reminiscing about his recently deceased twin brother, Miller Campbell, the Elder Ancestor of the Profound Heavenly Immortal Sect, Wesley Campbell, heard Preston Buckingham’s plea for help. He lifted his head and glanced coldly at Preston Buckingham:

"You little beast, I dare say I’ve never treated you poorly, yet I didn’t expect you to bring such disaster upon the sect..."

"Now, not only did you cause the death of your uncle ancestor Miller, but you also caused the death of your father. Do you still have the face to ask me to save you?"

As he spoke, Wesley Campbell’s gaze toward Preston Buckingham erupted with an overwhelming fury.

If this fury could harm, Preston Buckingham might have been burned to death countless times already.

"Had I known earlier that you, this little beast, would bring such disaster to the sect, I would have killed you early to eliminate future troubles!"

Wesley Campbell said harshly, paused for a moment, and then continued, "Pitiful my brother Miller, he was dragged down and killed by you, this little beast!"

Upon hearing Wesley Campbell’s words, Preston Buckingham was momentarily dumbfounded.

"What?!"

"Uncle Ancestor Miller is... dead?!"

Preston Buckingham was stunned, completely stupefied.

"Humph!"

At this time, the Elder Ancestor, who had followed Infinite Buckingham to bring Preston Buckingham over, also looked at Preston Buckingham, snorting coldly:

"Isn’t it all because of you, this little brat? If it weren’t for you setting up to ambush the Elder Ancestor of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, Beckham Ho, would Alchemist Barnes come knocking today?"

"If Alchemist Barnes hadn’t come, would Miller be dead? Would your father be dead?"

"As I see it... the one who most deserves death is you!"

As he finished speaking, this white-haired, youthful-faced Elder Ancestor, usually good-tempered, was also full of anger.

"Dan... Alchemist Barnes?"

Hearing the words of this Elder Ancestor, Preston Buckingham looked at Wyatt Barnes, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief:

"How... how is he possible... how is he possible to have such ability?"

"Didn’t the people of Joy Zen Sect already investigate thoroughly?"

"Isn’t he just a mere ascender with no background?"

When he heard Wesley Campbell’s words, Preston Buckingham was already dumbfounded.

Though when he saw his father, the Sect Leader of the Profound Heavenly Immortal Sect, Infinite Buckingham, commit suicide, he vaguely sensed that Wyatt Barnes was not to be trifled with...

But he never imagined that one of their three Elder Ancestors, Miller Campbell, a genuine Immortal Lord, would die because of Wyatt Barnes.

Moreover, at present:

Regarding Miller’s death due to Wyatt Barnes, it seems the other two Elder Ancestors of their sect have no intention or dare to hold Wyatt accountable!

Now, hearing another Elder Ancestor’s words, he felt further the terror of Wyatt Barnes.

However, though he felt the terror of Wyatt Barnes, he only thought Wyatt Barnes’s background was terrifying, and that Wyatt Barnes was accompanied by a mighty figure that even their sect’s Elder Ancestors couldn’t contend with!

He never thought that their sect’s Elder Ancestors were not Wyatt Barnes’s match, because he never considered that possibility.

After all, he knows Wyatt Barnes is under a hundred years old and is aware of Wyatt Barnes’s excellent status as a top-grade alchemist.

A top-grade alchemist under a hundred years old is already extremely rare, let alone such an outstanding one whose alchemy skills surpass some Monarch Grade alchemists.

Therefore, Preston Buckingham never thought such a person would exceed the strength of their sect’s three Elder Ancestors.

"What about the mighty figure beside him?"

"To kill Uncle Ancestor Miller, causing Uncle Ancestor Wesley and the other to be so fearful, surely not merely a Semi-immortal King... the person beside Wyatt Barnes very likely is an existence above an Immortal King!"

While Preston Buckingham’s heart trembled, he began looking around, hoping to find the whereabouts of that mighty figure beside Wyatt Barnes.

But he was doomed to find nothing.

Ultimately, his gaze landed on Cain Iron beside Wyatt Barnes, even once believing Cain Iron was the mighty figure beside Wyatt Barnes...

However, moments later, he felt Cain Iron seemed familiar.

"I remember now!"

"He’s Cain Iron, the Left Protector of the Taiyi Immortal Sect! I’ve seen him once before!"

"So, he’s not the mighty figure beside Wyatt Barnes... the one beside Wyatt Barnes truly is hidden."

Thinking this, Preston Buckingham continued looking around, his face also holding a hint of unwillingness.

Unwillingness at Wyatt Barnes having such a formidable background and at Wyatt Barnes being protected by such a powerful presence.

"Hmph! Stop looking!"

A moment later, Wesley Campbell glanced coldly at Preston Buckingham and said, "There is no other mighty figure beside Alchemist Barnes... your Uncle Ancestor Miller was killed by Alchemist Barnes because of you, this little beast."

"And your father... he committed suicide because he was awed by Alchemist Barnes’s strength, fearing that Alchemist Barnes would anger the Profound Heavenly Immortal Sect due to your trap to kill the Elder Ancestor of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, Beckham Ho, and thereby personally annihilate the Profound Heavenly Immortal Sect."

Apparently, seeing Preston Buckingham looking around, Wesley Campbell also guessed his inner thoughts at this moment.

"What?!"

As Wesley’s words fell, Preston was utterly shocked again. When he looked at Wyatt Barnes, besides the myriad of emotions on his face, he looked as if he had seen a ghost:

"He... he actually has the power to kill Master Ancestor Ming?"

"And... it was precisely because he feared Wyatt might destroy our Black Sky Immortal Sect that father chose to commit suicide?"

"How... how is this possible?!"

"How could a mere person not yet a hundred years old possess such immense strength!"

Preston Buckingham couldn’t believe it and didn’t want to believe it.

"In the next life, remember this well..."

At the same time, Wyatt Barnes, who had been quietly watching Preston, suddenly flashed a cold light in his eyes and spoke unhurriedly:

"Beyond the sky is a greater sky, beyond the person is a greater person... sometimes, a small wrong choice can cost you your life!"

Almost the instant his words fell, Wyatt waved his hand casually.

Immediately, a purple palm print roared out from his hand, like a small mountain traversing the sky, heading straight for Preston Buckingham.

Boom!

The people present only realized what had happened when they heard the loud crash in their ears. The next moment, they were taken aback to see the void where Preston Buckingham stood tremble, with a spray of blood mist drifting down.

Preston Buckingham’s Storage Ring gently fell along with the blood mist.

"Today’s matter is purely because I personally cannot tolerate the actions of Black Sky Immortal Sect’s Junior Sect Master, Preston Buckingham. If you, Black Sky Immortal Sect, hold this account against Taiyi Immortal Sect or do anything to Taiyi Immortal Sect..."

After killing Preston Buckingham, stunning the scene into dead silence, Wyatt Barnes’s gaze again swept over all the members of Black Sky Immortal Sect present, speaking slowly:

"I, Wyatt Barnes, do not mind coming to Black Sky Immortal Sect again to annihilate your entire sect!"

Although Wyatt’s words were spoken without haste, they sent a shiver into the hearts of the Black Sky Immortal Sect members present.

"Alchemist Barnes, rest assured!"

The Elder Ancestor of Black Sky Immortal Sect, with youthful looks, promised immediately after Wyatt’s words fell, looking directly at Wyatt Barnes: "As long as I am in Black Sky Immortal Sect, I will never allow it to harm Taiyi Immortal Sect in any way."

"Alchemist Barnes, I, Wesley Campbell, can also assure you of this."

Another Elder Ancestor of Black Sky Immortal Sect, Wesley Campbell, also pledged to Wyatt Barnes.

Although he wished to kill the purple-robed young man before him immediately to avenge his twin brother...

However, he knew that with the strength displayed by the young man in purple robes, he would never have a chance to take revenge in his lifetime.

In this situation, he could only bury his hatred deep within his heart.

Unless one day, he gains the power to avenge his twin brother.

Otherwise, in this lifetime, he will never bring this grudge against Wyatt Barnes to light again.

"Not just you... even if your descendants of Black Sky Immortal Sect dare to use today’s incident to trouble Taiyi Immortal Sect, I will not spare Black Sky Immortal Sect!"

Wyatt added another remark, causing another wave of fear among the Black Sky Immortal Sect members present.

Wow!

After the supplementary words, Wyatt’s figure flickered and vanished with Leilany and Cain Iron before the eyes of the Black Sky Immortal Sect members.

As if disappearing into thin air, leaving no trace.

Even the two Elder Ancestors of Black Sky Immortal Sect, both at the Ten Directions Immortal Lord level, saw no sign of Wyatt Barnes’s departure at this moment.

The two exchanged a glance, seeing apprehension and astonishment in each other’s eyes.

"Elder Spacewood, from today on, you’ll handle the sect affairs temporarily... after some time, once Wesley and I have discussed, we’ll decide on the new Sect Leader of Black Sky Immortal Sect."

The youthful-looking Elder Ancestor of Black Sky Immortal Sect gazed at a middle-aged elder standing at the front among the high-level members of Black Sky Immortal Sect and said solemnly:

"During this time, I hope the sect continues to be stable... you should understand what I mean."

"If you perform well... it’s not impossible for you to become the next Sect Leader of Black Sky Immortal Sect."

Saying this, the youthful Elder Ancestor of Black Sky Immortal Sect deeply looked at Elder Spacewood.

"Yes, Elder Ancestor!"

This Elder Spacewood was one of the leading two Gossips Immortal Lords among the high-level members of Black Sky Immortal Sect before the arrival of the three Elder Ancestors and the Sect Leader of Black Sky Immortal Sect...

The other Gossips Immortal Lord had already died at the hands of Wyatt Barnes.

When he survived by a fluke back then, he had been feeling immensely grateful, thankful that the three Elder Ancestors of Black Sky Immortal Sect had arrived in time, with one even shielding him from a strike...

Now, hearing the words from one of the remaining two Elder Ancestors of Black Sky Immortal Sect, he was instantly overjoyed!

Sect Leader of Black Sky Immortal Sect?

He actually has the chance to become the new Sect Leader of Black Sky Immortal Sect?
