Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1574: Lanni Barnes Rising Like a Rocket

The residence of the Floating Flame Sect is located amidst a range of continuous volcanoes.

Of course, among these volcanoes, only a few in the center are ’active’, while the rest are long dormant ’extinct volcanoes’.

The Inner Sect and Outer Sect areas of the Floating Flame Sect are located in the active volcanoes and extinct volcanoes, respectively.

In the Inner Sect area of the Floating Flame Sect, near the most active region of the volcano’s lava, lies the sect’s ’forbidden area’... simply because those who cultivate here are the Saint level experts of the Floating Flame Sect, akin to guardian deities of the sect!

Usually, only those at the rank of Inner Sect Elder or above can enter when necessary.

However, a few years ago, the rules of the forbidden area were changed because of one person.

She was the first person who, although not a Saint level expert, could cultivate in the forbidden area of the Floating Flame Sect... and she is also a personal disciple taken by the Sect Leader of the Floating Flame Sect, now known by the sect members as ’Miss Romero’.

Now, few people remember how many, in secret, envied and slandered her when this Miss Romero first came to the Floating Flame Sect.

They said she was merely lucky to have become the Sect Leader’s disciple and flattered him, which allowed her to cultivate in the sect’s most spiritually abundant ’forbidden area’.

It’s worth noting that before her, the Sect Leader of the Floating Flame Sect had two other personal disciples, yet neither of them had the qualification to cultivate in the forbidden area.

However, years later, today, no one dares to say Miss Romero is not worthy of cultivating in the forbidden area.

What a joke!

Considering the achievements Miss Romero has made at her age now, she is guaranteed to break through to the ’Saint Realm’ in the future, and possibly her future achievements may not be below that of the Sect Leader and the other Grand Elders.

This is because, at her age, neither the Sect Leader nor the other Grand Elders were as accomplished as she is now.

Therefore, there is no one in the Floating Flame Sect who is not convinced by Miss Romero.

In the forbidden area of the Floating Flame Sect, on a platform situated halfway up the mountain, stands a large courtyard.

The large courtyard is lush with flowers and trees, giving a tranquil and fresh impression.

At this moment, within the courtyard, stands a graceful woman, clothed in a fiery red robe, resembling a spirit of fire.

Her waist-length hair cascades like a waterfall, complementing her nearly perfect face, as though a fairy descended to the mortal world.

With willow-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a delicate nose, and cherry-like lips, each feature is crafted by the Creator with perfection.

This woman in the fiery red robe, even calling her beauty enchanting would not be an exaggeration.

"Still one step short."

The woman had just walked out of her room, sighed deeply, and murmured in a low voice, "Brother Barnes, Winnie will soon be able to meet you... Master said that as long as I break through to the ’Saint Realm’, I will be allowed to leave the Martial Dao Sacred Land and return to the Cloud Skies Continent. Rest assured, it won’t be long before I take the final step and break through to the ’Saint Realm’!"

At some point, the woman stared southwards at the horizon, becoming absent-minded without realizing it.

In the end, she became completely entranced.

However, it wasn’t long before she was startled out of her trance, and the person who disturbed her was none other than the Sect Leader of the Floating Flame Sect, Amelia Tyler.

Amelia was a graceful and noblewoman, and her nearly perfect face clearly showed that when she was younger, her beauty was not much inferior to that of the woman who calls herself ’Winnie’.

"Winnie."

As soon as Amelia appeared, she was beside the woman in red, causing the dazed woman to suddenly snap out of her stupor.

"Master."

Facing Amelia, the woman was respectful, for she knew her accomplishments today could not have been achieved without the unreserved nurturing of the master before her.

"Prepare yourself... in half a month, the Honorary Minister of the Swayer Family will be coming to our Floating Flame Sect, specifically to challenge you."

Amelia raised her hand, handing a letter of challenge to the woman.

"The Swayer Family? The Swayer Family of the Capital?"

The woman took the letter.

"Yes, the Swayer Family of the Capital... The people of the Swayer Family are never simple characters. This Honorary Minister from the Swayer Family, ’Mr. Barnes’, is someone I’ve never even heard of before. You must be careful when facing him."

Amelia reminded her.

"Yes."

The woman nodded, and as she opened the letter and saw the word ’Barnes’, she was momentarily taken aback.

"Mr. Barnes? Without even a first name, it seems he must also be an aloof person."

The woman said.

"No matter who he is or how aloof he might be... I have confidence in you."

Amelia said.

Meanwhile, far away in the Fletcher Kingdom’s capital, within the Swayer family mansion, the eldest son ’Beau Swayer’ once again approached Wyatt Barnes.

"Mr. Barnes, I have sent the challenge on your behalf to the Floating Flame Sect... In half a month, it will be your official challenge day against the ’Miss Romero’ of the sect."

Upon seeing Wyatt Barnes, Beau Swayer directly stated.

Wyatt Barnes nodded, and then his gaze shifted as he asked, "The female disciple of the Floating Flame Sect, her surname is ’Romero’?"

"Yes."

Beau Swayer nodded.

"Surname ’Winnie’, from a mortal continent... could it be Winnie?"

Even Wyatt Barnes didn’t know why, but he suddenly had this thought in his mind.

"Do you know the full name of this Miss Romero?"

Wyatt Barnes took a deep breath and looked at Beau Swayer asking.

"I don’t know."

Beau Swayer shook his head, "Not only me, but even most people in Fletcher Kingdom don’t know her name... even in Floating Flame Sect, I fear there are not many who know her full name."

Wyatt Barnes nodded again, shaking his head to suppress the suspicion that Miss Romero is ’Winnie’.

"It can’t be Winnie! Winnie’s talent is good, but that’s only in the Cloud Skies Continent... even if her foundation is strong, upon reaching Martial Dao Sacred Land, she’s stronger than the average Martial Artist, but it’s impossible for her to be so ridiculously strong!"

Thinking of the achievements ’Miss Romero’ in Floating Flame Sect made in the past year, Wyatt Barnes completely dismissed the idea that she might be Winnie Romero.

However, recalling Winnie due to Miss Romero in Floating Flame Sect, Wyatt Barnes’s heart was filled with melancholy, "Winnie, where are you? Do you know Brother Barnes is looking for you?"

Although Beau Swayer didn’t know what Wyatt Barnes was thinking of, he seemed to sense Wyatt Barnes’s heavy mood and tactfully left.

He knew that at this moment, what he could do in front of Mr. Barnes was not to disturb him.

Martial Dao Sacred Land, Dragonsmith Clan.

The mountain range where the Dragonsmith Clan resides may be mysterious and elusive to ordinary Martial Artists and Taoist Cultivators; even if they know the location, it’s hard to enter.

Yet for some, entering the Dragonsmith Clan’s lair is like walking into an unguarded land.

A middle-aged man, accompanied by a withered black-clad elder, swaggered into the Dragonsmith Clan’s lair, making no special effort to hide, yet unnoticed by the patrolling Dragonsmith Clan.

Of course, that’s because their speed was too fast, so much so that the Dragonsmith Clan with lower cultivation couldn’t react in time.

Travel-worn, the two are none other than the House Master of Mansion of Azure Clouds, ’Lanni Barnes’, and one of his trusted aides, Withered.

Originally, with the two’s speed, they should have reached the Dragonsmith Clan after leaving Moon Radiance Sect.

However, something happened along the way.

"I never expected some from the Fire Worship Sect had left the ’Upper Domain’ years ago and came to the ’Lower Domain’... if I’m not mistaken, they’re searching for my daughter-in-law ’Keer’."

Even after entering the Dragonsmith Clan’s lair, Lanni Barnes seemed distracted.

His thoughts were completely occupied by the people from the Fire Worship Sect he encountered on the road.

Those several, their strength, strong enough not to be much weaker than the Withered beside him... if they all attacked together, Withered might not even be their match!

And after killing several of them, leaving only one alive, and using the ’Soul-searching Technique’, he learned they were insignificant figures within the Fire Worship Sect.

But since that one held no significant status in the Fire Worship Sect, Lanni Barnes didn’t uncover much useful information.

He only found out they came to the ’Lower Domain’ to search for someone, a person long determined by the Fire Worship Sect as ’Saintess’.

By piecing together clues left by his son, Wyatt Barnes, in the Cloud Skies Continent, he also vaguely suspected they were searching for his daughter-in-law, Keer, abducted by those claiming to be from the Fire Worship Sect.

Although he never met Keer, he wasn’t unfamiliar with her.

Because he often heard his wife mention Keer, knowing she was his wife’s most favored daughter-in-law and someone his wife watched grow up.

Whoosh!

Accompanied by a faint sound of wind whining, an elderly man in a blood-red robe blocked Lanni Barnes and Withered’s path.

Just a moment before, Lanni Barnes had already noticed him and swiftly recovered his wandering thoughts.

"I was wondering who dared intrude on our Dragonsmith Clan... turns out it’s Old Withered."

The elderly man’s gaze quickly fell on Withered, clearly recognizing him.

Soon, his gaze shifted to Lanni Barnes in front of Withered; though Lanni Barnes was unfamiliar to him, seeing Withered trailing Lanni Barnes, he could easily guess Lanni Barnes’s identity.

"Greetings, House Master Barnes."

After guessing Lanni Barnes’s identity, the elderly man secretively drew a sharp breath, then cautiously saluted.

Lanni Barnes, House Master of Mansion of Azure Clouds, has risen to power in less than forty years.

Forty years, for their Dragonsmith Clan, is as brief as a nap.

Yet in such a short time, Martial Dao Sacred Land witnessed the emergence of a remarkable figure, ’Lanni Barnes’!

From obscurity to leading a force rivaling the Dragonsmith Clan’s strength, Mansion of Azure Clouds, and becoming a great power, Lanni Barnes took less than forty years.

Though Lanni Barnes’s age is not even a fraction of the old man’s, he dared not show disrespect before Lanni Barnes.

Because he knew Lanni Barnes’s strength far surpassed his own, capable even of matching their Clan Chief’s prowess.

In terms of status, Lanni Barnes could stand shoulder to shoulder with their Clan Chief.
