Chapter 2930: Autumn Holding Kingdom

Wyatt Barnes had never thought that Leilany would leave him, and for that reason, he didn’t have Leilany’s Soul Bead in his possession.

"Take me around the area, and then walk back in a carpet-style search..."

Wyatt Barnes, with reddened eyes, looked at Ismael Mullins and ordered gravely.

"Yes, sir."

After exchanging a glance with Wyatt Barnes, Ismael Mullins quickly averted his gaze, deeply aware of Wyatt Barnes’s anxiety.

At this moment, he could clearly feel the importance of Miss Leilany in his master’s heart.

"My lord, I’m sorry..."

As he continued to search for Leilany with Wyatt Barnes, Ismael Mullins looked guilty.

"The matter is already past, what’s the use of saying sorry? Moreover, the situation at the time left you no choice... Leilany, that girl, has a fiery temperament and is capable of anything."

While Wyatt Barnes was indeed worried about Leilany’s safety, he was also reasonable and did not blame others without cause, hence he did not blame Ismael Mullins.

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Ismael Mullins was not only moved but also felt more guilty.

He then earnestly continued to assist Wyatt Barnes in searching for Leilany.

"Leilany, you absolutely mustn’t have any accidents... If something happens to you, how will I face Princess Consort Rivera?"

Wyatt Barnes still remembered Leilany’s grandaunt ’Princess Consort Rivera’, when she imparted to him the Immortal King level skill "Mystic Skills" in the small world she left behind, she had spoken to him.

Princess Consort Rivera had told him to make sure Leilany didn’t interact with any members of the Mystical Fox clan, and if any non-Rivera Mystical Fox clan member knew of Leilany’s existence, that person must be killed!

Additionally, Princess Consort Rivera had mentioned to him and Leilany that the reason Leilany’s mother left her was mainly because of trouble with her family.

Due to his concerns for Leilany, Wyatt Barnes was unable to fully concentrate on cultivation in the following journey, often distracted.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, three years passed.

"My lord, in these past three years, we’ve searched millions of miles around the area where Miss Leilany vanished, and even within the central region, we’ve combed extensively but still did not find Miss Leilany."

"Now, after three years, finding Miss Leilany is akin to finding a needle in a haystack."

Ismael Mullins voiced no complaints through the three years of searching.

Yet as three years elapsed without finding Leilany, he knew that searching more would be futile.

Therefore, he summoned his courage to remind Wyatt Barnes.

Of course, this was also due to him knowing, after three years of interaction, that Wyatt Barnes is reasonable, otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to remind Wyatt Barnes even if he had a hundred times the courage.

"Hmm."

Wyatt Barnes nodded somewhat forlornly, knowing Ismael Mullins was right, though he still felt unwilling.

Leilany, while possessing decent strength, being under the Immortal Lord level means few threats can harm her.

However, once Leilany entered the central region, she would frequently encounter beings above the Immortal Lord level.

Thus, he couldn’t help but worry for Leilany’s safety.

Nevertheless, he now knew that if they had been able to find Leilany, she would have been found long before.

"Leilany, you absolutely mustn’t have any accidents... Otherwise, Brother Leandro will never forgive himself."

Wyatt Barnes silently murmured to himself.

Through two lifetimes, he rarely regretted his actions.

But now, he regretted it.

Regretting to have straightforwardly told Ismael Mullins that Leilany was his ’sister’.

He was aware that, even if it wasn’t the fundamental reason for Leilany’s departure, it was definitely a catalyst!

"Let’s first find a place to settle, inquire about the surrounding situation, and then make a plan."

Now, Wyatt Barnes and Ismael Mullins still lingered in a region close to the borders, and with Wyatt Barnes’s voice falling, Ismael Mullins led him deeper into the central region.

After about half a month of traveling, they still didn’t see a trace of humanity, nor did they see any structures, but the scenery beneath their feet transformed from barren desert to oasis.

"I suppose it won’t be long before we see signs of humanity."

Entering the oasis, Wyatt Barnes speculated.

And reality confirmed Wyatt Barnes’s guess.

A few days later, silhouettes appeared before Wyatt Barnes and Ismael Mullins, and as they approached one of them, the person instantly became vigilant.

They naturally assumed Wyatt Barnes and Ismael Mullins were those road-blocking immortal robbers.

"Don’t misunderstand... We merely want to ask sir, what place this is?"

Ismael Mullins noticed the peak Love Rowan Upper Immortal’s caution, and stated straightforwardly.

Upon hearing Ismael Mullins’s words, the individual relaxed.

He saw that Ismael Mullins was undoubtedly an Immortal Lord who could easily kill him; otherwise, he wouldn’t have caught up and blocked his way.

"You... Could you be coming over from the border region?"

This peak Love Rowan Upper Immortal was an old man who instinctively asked upon being questioned by Ismael Mullins.

"Yes."

Ismael Mullins nodded, this being his first time reaching the central region.

"Since you all have come from the borderland, I assume you haven’t been in this oasis for long... Entering this oasis signifies you’ve entered the ’Autumn Holding Kingdom’.

"The old man said.

"Autumn Holding Kingdom?"

Wyatt Barnes raised his eyebrows, surprised to find a country existing within the central land, which seemed somewhat similar to the borderland.

In the borderland, there were some Immortal Kingdoms existing within various regions.

However, the strength of those Immortal Kingdoms was far inferior to the top sects of the borderland, and they could only survive by relying on the tops sects.

"Autumn Holding Kingdom?"

Ismael Mullins was just as surprised as Wyatt, but as he further delved into questions, he came to understand the differences between the countries in the central land and those Immortal Kingdoms in the borderland.

In the edge areas of the central land, which neighbor the borderland, there are various countries, and these countries typically have Immortal King powerhouses.

Without an Immortal King’s strength, it’s impossible to control a country.

"An Immortal King can establish a nation... in that sense, an Immortal King from the borderland could establish a country here, right?"

Wyatt murmured.

"Theoretically, yes."

The old man nodded, "However, very few choose to establish their own country... because it requires a large expenditure of energy and effort."

"More people prefer a ready-made option... for instance, overthrowing an existing country’s sovereign and replacing him, becoming the new master and king of that country!"

The old man continued.

"In such cases, the sovereigns of every country in the edge area of the central land are generally powerful Immortal King figures."

"Generally, a newly arrived Immortal King from the borderland doesn’t have the ability to replace them... and as Immortal Kings themselves, they don’t wish to remain under other Immortal Kings. Therefore, Immortal Kings from the borderland typically join some powerful sects or family clans in the central land."

"These powerful sects or family clans are located outside the edge area... and their cultivation environments and resources far surpass those of various countries in the edge area of the central land."

The old man paused here.

Wyatt was deeply shaken.

Those countries in the edge area of the central land can only be considered the weakest among the notable forces.

Yet within these forces, there are generally Immortal Kings, and not just ordinary ones!

After further understanding some matters about the central land from the old man, Wyatt finally allowed Ismael to continue their journey.

"The first stop is directly to the capital of Autumn Holding Kingdom."

Having asked the old man for directions earlier, Ismael now knew the way to the capital city of Autumn Holding Kingdom.

On the road, Wyatt, besides digesting the information given by the old man, was mainly worried about Leilany’s safety.

"Master, please don’t worry... Miss Leilany will surely be blessed."

Ismael, noticing Wyatt’s concern, comforted him at the right moment.

"Mm."

Wyatt nodded.

Three months later.

"Master, according to that previous person’s directions... beyond the range of mountains ahead is where the capital city of Autumn Holding Kingdom is situated."

Wyatt’s ears caught Ismael’s voice.

Wyatt, who was originally sitting cross-legged with his eyes tightly closed, immediately opened his eyes upon hearing Ismael’s voice.

He instantly caught sight of the long chain of mountains lying ahead like a giant dragon, stretching endlessly.

In a moment, Wyatt followed Ismael to the sky above the range of mountains.

And just then.

Swish!!

With the swift sound of wind whistling from within the range of mountains, an old and decrepit figure, accompanied by a younger one, shot forth from the mountains.

In an instant, they appeared directly in Wyatt and Ismael’s path.

Immediately, Ismael, with a solemn expression, halted his movements, as the speed demonstrated by the elderly figure suggested the opponent’s strength was superior to his!

"Three-talented Immortal Lord!"

Wyatt, upon observing the speed displayed by the figure, discerned that the other must possess an Immortal Lord cultivation at the three-talented level, akin to his current level.

"Hmm?"

The young figure’s owner, upon appearing in Wyatt and Ismael’s path, also noticed the two of them.

This was a young man dressed in fine clothes, but his face bore an unsightly, hideous birthmark that completely ruined his features.

When this well-dressed youth saw Ismael, he was indifferent, but when his gaze fell upon Wyatt, specifically on Wyatt’s face, a sudden surge of jealousy and murderous intent arose.

"You, either ruin your own face... or die!"

Moments later, just as Wyatt and Ismael prepared to continue their journey, the fine-clothed youth, with a quick movement, blocked their path again, accompanied by the old man.

The well-dressed youth’s grotesque face twisted, his gaze towards Wyatt full of envy and hatred...

Just as if Wyatt were his father’s murderer!
