Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1588: Jovie Lee’s Crisis

Senior Oracle!

Listening to Lanni Barnes call this ’old beggar’ by that name, it became clear that the ’old beggar’ was none other than the Heavenly Secret Elder, the legendary figure in the Dao Martial Holy Land known for being a "Dragon unseen when seen".

Perhaps, even most martial artists and Taoist cultivators in the Dao Martial Holy Land, who had only heard of the Heavenly Secret Elder, wouldn’t recognize him in this form, completely different from the sage-like figure they had imagined.

Even if the real Heavenly Secret Elder stood before them, proclaiming himself, they might not believe it.

However, this old man was indeed the Heavenly Secret Elder!

"Isn’t it strange why I don’t let you go to the Bibo Han Mansion, or let your people come into contact with those from the Bibo Han Mansion?"

Looking at Lanni Barnes, the Heavenly Secret Elder smiled faintly and asked.

Earlier, Lanni Barnes intended to take Withered to the Bibo Han Mansion, to reveal his identity and bring his daughter-in-law ’Jovie Lee’ back.

However, because of the Heavenly Secret Elder’s transmission, Lanni Barnes changed his mind.

This was also the reason for Withered’s confusion about Lanni Barnes’ sudden decision.

Because it wasn’t Lanni Barnes’ idea; it was the Heavenly Secret Elder’s suggestion.

"Senior must have a reason for directing me so."

Lanni Barnes said.

"In fact, my intention is similar to why you didn’t take him away from the Cloud Skies Continent back then... Perhaps, now you are eager to find him and bring him back to the Mansion of Azure Clouds to nurture him! However, unknowingly, that might not be the best path for him. His achievements shouldn’t be confined to the ’Lower Domain’."

The Heavenly Secret Elder smiled as he spoke.

"Shouldn’t be confined to the Lower Domain?"

Lanni Barnes was slightly shocked, clearly understanding that the Heavenly Secret Elder meant that his son, Wyatt Barnes, had more potential than to be limited to the Lower Domain.

"In short, your son has a deep connection with me, and I don’t wish to see him stray from the right path... Just know that this is better for him. As for the Mansion of Azure Clouds, it is still his home, and I do not intend to prevent him from reuniting with you and your wife... I just hope he finds you himself, rather than you finding him. Do you understand?"

The Heavenly Secret Elder added.

"Yes."

Lanni Barnes nodded, feeling overwhelmed inside, never expecting his son’s talent to be so high that the Heavenly Secret Elder held him in such high regard.

"Senior Oracle, you mentioned earlier that my son has a deep connection with you? May I ask what that connection is?"

Lanni Barnes inquired.

"He is ’Yan Yu’, I am ’Tian Ji’."

Faced with Lanni Barnes’s question, the Heavenly Secret Elder replied with just a simple phrase, only a mere eight words.

And as his words fell silent, the Heavenly Secret Elder vanished again, disappearing into thin air from Lanni Barnes’s sight, as if he had never been there.

"He is Yan Yu, I am Tian Ji? What can that mean?"

Having already experienced the Heavenly Secret Elder’s mysteriousness, Lanni Barnes was not surprised.

"It seems my son Wyatt’s opportunity is even more extraordinary than all I’ve encountered... Even this mysterious Heavenly Secret Elder has approached me three times because of him."

Lanni Barnes sighed.

Although it was the first time he encountered the Heavenly Secret Elder, thinking back, it was the Elder’s intentional revelation of his whereabouts that allowed him to meet him.

Moreover, even if he had met him, if the Heavenly Secret Elder had not been willing to divine for him, he might not have heard the Elder’s valuable wisdom.

Now, Lanni Barnes realized that meeting the Heavenly Secret Elder was entirely because of his son Wyatt Barnes.

Although, he did not know what deep connection existed between the Heavenly Secret Elder and his son.

If Wyatt Barnes were to hear the sentence the Heavenly Secret Elder left behind, he would no doubt be greatly surprised.

Because after he received the Supreme Heart Sword inheritance from Sword Saint Breezy Wind, according to Breezy Wind’s message, he had become the sole inheritor of the ’Yan Yu’ lineage.

Before him, Sword Saint Breezy Wind was also a member of the ’Yan Yu’ lineage.

Of course, Sword Saint Breezy Wind was the previous generation’s Yan Yu inheritor.

To a certain extent, Sword Saint Breezy Wind could be considered Wyatt Barnes’s master, and he was also the master that Wyatt Barnes acknowledged in his heart.

Before this, whether it was ’Enzo Hawkins’ from the Cloud Skies Continent or the later City Lord of Hill Mountain City ’Tabo Garcia’, he merely recognized them as ’teachers’, not ’masters’.

Teacher, master—though differing by one word, the meanings they represent are profoundly different.

Yan Yu, Tian Ji.

If someone knew or even understood about the top sect from a distant era, the ’Seven Terminating Sect’, upon hearing these four words, their mind would surely conjure up eight words instantly.

First, Yan Yu; second, Tian Ji.

Yan Yu and Tian Ji were the first two of the Seven Terminating Sect.

If Yan Yu lineage represented the supreme martial prowess of the Seven Terminating Sect,

then Tian Ji lineage represented the boundless wisdom of the Seven Terminating Sect.

Yan Yu and Tian Ji inherently formed a powerful alliance. Together with the remaining Five Incomparables, they made the Seven Terminating Sect invincible, and in that distant era, their prominence even surpassed the top three sects of the Dao Martial Holy Land, momentarily suppressing all three.

Of course, in that era, the dominating force of the Seven Terminating Sect also couldn’t be separated from the then first Yan Yu inheritor.

At that time, the inheritor of the Misty Rain was none other than the Sword Saint ’Breezy Wind’!

In that era, Breezy Wind was an undeniable influential figure. Perhaps some might not know about the Seven Terminating Sect, but no one didn’t know about Sword Saint Breezy Wind.

Of course, because the Seven Terminating Sect had been dormant for too long, there were no records of the ’Seven Terminating Sect’ even in the archives of Mansion of Azure Clouds.

Thus, Lanni Barnes didn’t know about the existence of the Seven Terminating Sect, let alone that the first two Terminations were Misty Rain and Destiny.

If he knew, he would certainly have understood the meaning behind Senior Oracle’s words.

Jade Waves Hanson Residence.

In a brightly lit, tranquil room, a woman with breathtaking beauty was gently rocking a cradle, her eyes as gentle as water gazing at the sleeping infant inside, her face filled with a satisfied smile.

At some unknown time, a purple figure flashed through the woman’s mind, casting a shadow over her expression.

"You rascal, we have a child now... Our child is born, do you know that?"

The woman murmured softly.

From the woman’s whisper, her identity was evident; she was one of Wyatt Barnes’ two fiancées, Jovie Lee.

"And Keer... I wonder if she’s safe. If she is, now the child in her belly should be born too, right?"

Thinking of Keer made sadness flicker in Jovie Lee’s eyes.

She and Keer had been close as sisters for a long time, and their sudden calamity was enough to tug at her heartstrings.

Although it was unclear whom the sleeping infant in the cradle resembled, his sword-like brows were strikingly similar to Wyatt Barnes’s, with a trace of similarity in his overall features.

This was due to his young age.

He would definitely resemble Wyatt Barnes more as he grew.

This was the son Jovie Lee had given birth to for Wyatt Barnes.

Jovie Lee stared at the infant in the cradle, utterly focused on his features, lost in her gaze.

Compared to their child, she resembled him even more.

At this moment, Jovie Lee was unaware of impending danger approaching her.

"Young Master, are you really going to do this? Even though Miss Julia and those three little ones are gone, with Lord Ruby here, you might be discovered before you even approach her room."

A young man with a hint of hesitation in his eyes spoke to the well-dressed youth walking ahead of him.

The well-dressed youth was none other than ’Yearly Hanson’, who had entertained dark thoughts about Jovie Lee when she first arrived at Jade Waves Hanson Residence, and was also the grandson of the only Clan Elder there.

"Hmph! Do you think I’m as brainless as you?"

Yearly Hanson sneered at the lackey trailing him, disdainfully saying, "Before coming here, I already asked Uncle Patel to divert Ruby... Now that Ruby isn’t here, that little girl is no more than meat on my chopping block, ready for me to slice? Alas, she’s already given birth; otherwise, I’d really want to taste a pregnant woman."

"Hmph! It’s all Karina Hanson’s fault for guarding her so well that I couldn’t find an opportunity... This time, she’s gone with those three annoying little ones; heaven is aiding me!"

Yearly Hanson muttered as he stealthily reached the outside of Jovie Lee’s room with the lackey.

"Alright, you stay outside and wait, lest someone sees you and it affects things."

Yearly Hanson said to the lackey before heading towards Jovie Lee’s room.

The lackey responded and exited, while Yearly Hanson eagerly pushed open Jovie Lee’s door.

Though her door was shut, it practically collapsed before Yearly Hanson, who opened it with a swift motion.

Grunt!

The door opened abruptly, the soft sound startling Jovie Lee into alertness.

"It’s you!"

Seeing Yearly Hanson enter, Jovie Lee’s expression changed slightly as she shouted angrily, "What are you doing here?"

"Little beauty, do you really not know what I’m here for?"

Yearly Hanson shut the door behind him, chuckling wickedly, his eyes filled with lust.

"Get out!"

Jovie Lee continued shouting angrily, "If you don’t leave, I’ll find Lord Ruby."

"Ruby? At this moment, Ruby is unlikely to return for now... So, don’t count on her"

Yearly Hanson chuckled, inching closer to Jovie Lee step by step.

At this point, Jovie Lee knew that Yearly Hanson’s visit was premeditated, her face pale, but she was resolute; even if it meant dying, she wouldn’t let this beast succeed!

However, thinking of her newly born son brought a palpable ache to her heart.

"Child, if your mother leaves, don’t blame her..."

Jovie Lee’s mind was already brewing thoughts of self-destruction; she would rather perish than let Yearly Hanson succeed.

Just then, a transmission reached her ears, "You’re ’Jovie Lee’? Is your fiancé called ’Wyatt Barnes’?"

Accompanying this transmission was an elderly figure appearing in the room out of thin air, behind Yearly Hanson, going unnoticed by him.

A withered old man, enveloped in a gray robe, clutching a cane, akin to a ghost.
