Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1619: It’s Him!
Chapter 1619: Chapter 1619: It’s Him!
"Sect Leader Hemingway, there must be a reason you suddenly brought up the ’Demon Sealing Monument’, right?"
King Archer looked at Hemingway Wood, asking with a blazing gaze.
The Demon Sealing Monument, one of the ten super sacred artifacts on the Top Ten Sacred Artifact List, who wouldn’t want to obtain it?
Now, hearing Hemingway mention the Demon Sealing Monument, the first thought that arose in his mind was that Hemingway knew the whereabouts of the Demon Sealing Monument.
In fact, it wasn’t just King Archer.
Even the two elderly men behind King Archer thought the same.
"There is indeed a reason I brought up the Demon Sealing Monument."
Hemingway nodded, not only did he not deny it, he straightforwardly said, "Because I know the current whereabouts of the Demon Sealing Monument!"
Boom!!
Hemingway’s words were like thunder on a sunny day, or a huge stone dropping onto a calm lake, making the pupils of the three King Archer’s men suddenly contract, then they all turned to look at Hemingway.
Their gazes were like knives, as if they could slice Hemingway into countless pieces.
"Where is the Demon Sealing Monument?"
King Archer asked.
And the two old men behind King Archer extended their Divine Sense, locking onto Hemingway at the first moment. freeweɓnovel~cѳm
"This is exactly what I’m going to talk about next."
Hemingway wasn’t angry because of the two old men’s Divine Sense lock, he remained calm and spoke unhurriedly.
"Earlier, didn’t Fourth Prince Highness ask why I looked so ragged? In fact, the reason I look like this is all because of the one who possesses the ’Demon Sealing Monument’... Surely, Fourth Prince Highness also knows that I, Hemingway Wood, am the Sect Leader of the Netherworld Sect and a Saint Realm Demon Cultivator."
Hemingway said.
King Archer nodded; he had already been aware that Hemingway was a Demon Cultivator.
However, he was most curious about who had the Demon Sealing Monument.
"The one who possesses the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ is merely a half-step Saint martial artist... But just because he has the Demon Sealing Monument, even our Netherworld Sect’s Grand Elder died at his hands. Had I not escaped quickly, I might have already become one of the souls under the Demon Sealing Monument."
Towards the end, Hemingway’s face was filled with lingering fear.
"If I remember correctly, your Netherworld Sect’s Grand Elder should also be a Saint Realm expert, right?"
King Archer asked.
"Yes."
Hemingway nodded, "The Grand Elder and I are both Saint Realm Demon Cultivators... And precisely because we are both Saint Realm Demon Cultivators, we fell into the trap of the Demon Sealing Monument! If any one of us wasn’t a Demon Cultivator, that half-step Saint martial artist would have been easily crushed."
"Who is he?"
King Archer asked with a heated gaze.
To him, a mere half-step Saint martial artist was not of any concern.
As long as he knew in whose hands the Demon Sealing Monument was, he could snatch it at the first moment.
"Fourth Prince Highness, before I tell you who that person is, I hope you can agree to a request I have and make me a promise."
Hemingway’s eyes flashed as he straightforwardly addressed King Archer.
"Presumptuous!!"
Upon hearing Hemingway’s words, King Archer frowned, while the two old men behind him couldn’t help but sharply rebuke, "Hemingway! Who do you think you are? How dare you negotiate terms with Fourth Prince Highness?"
"Do you believe that we won’t just make sure you never leave the King Archer Mansion today?"
The two Saint Realm experts behind King Archer emitted an increasingly powerful aura, which eventually swept towards Hemingway like a black cloud over a city, bringing him immense pressure.
However, Hemingway paid them no mind, instead staring directly at King Archer, "Fourth Prince Highness, I know the strength of the two seniors by your side, they can kill me with ease... But, don’t you really want to know the whereabouts of the ’Demon Sealing Monument’?"
Just as the faces of the two old men changed, intending to teach Hemingway a lesson, King Archer raised his hand to stop them.
"Sect Leader Hemingway, state your request and the promise you want."
King Archer looked at Hemingway, speaking blandly, his tone devoid of any emotion, making it impossible to discern joy or anger.
"Fourth Prince Highness, now that our Netherworld Sect’s Grand Elder has been killed, and I’ve fled the Netherworld Sect, the Netherworld Sect as it stands now is just in name only... I would like to ask Fourth Prince Highness to agree to let me join your ranks and serve you."
Hemingway bowed slightly to King Archer, his tone humble.
"Oh? You wish to defect to me?"
King Archer laughed, "As far as I know, you and your Netherworld Sect are deeply interconnected with the Swayer Family... By doing this, isn’t it equivalent to betraying the Swayer Family, or rather, the Hunter Swayer lineage of the Swayer Family."
As the Fourth Highness of Fletcher Kingdom’s Imperial Family, King Archer was naturally well aware of the matters concerning the Swayer Family.
"Fourth Prince Highness, as the saying goes ’a man seeks higher ground, while water flows downward’... I am well aware that even if I inform Hunter Swayer of the news about the Demon Sealing Monument, he may not be able to seize it, and might even lose more than he gains. Besides, compared to you, Hunter Swayer is nothing."
As a dignified Saint Realm expert, Hemingway flattered King Archer.
"A perfect saying ’a man seeks higher ground, while water flows downward’... good, very good."
Hearing Hemingway’s words, King Archer laughed, "I accept your request."
"However, you should have known before coming to me... that in the Imperial Family’s struggle for the throne in Fletcher Kingdom, the Swayer Family does not support me. Joining my ranks means opposing the Swayer Family, even though the Hunter Swayer and Micah Swayer lineages are not on good terms, they are ultimately one entity, and it is difficult to change their position."
King Archer timely reminded.
"Rest assured, Fourth Prince Highness, I have a way to split the Swayer Family and make the Hunter Swayer lineage turn to support you."
Hemingway confidently declared.
"Oh?"
King Archer’s eyes lit up, "Is this true?"
If he could really gain the support of Hunter Swayer’s branch of the Swayer Family, not only would his own strength significantly increase, but his opponent’s strength would also be correspondingly reduced.
This, undoubtedly, was a good thing for him.
"Hemingway Wood dares not deceive the Fourth Prince."
Hemingway Wood continued.
"Good, good... Hemingway, you are very good. From now on, as long as you serve well under my command, I will definitely not treat you badly."
King Archer laughed and said, "Now, continue to state the promise you want."
"The promise I want is not difficult for the Fourth Prince, it’s even a matter of going with the flow..."
Hemingway Wood took a deep breath, cold light flickering in his eyes, "I hope that after the Fourth Prince seizes the Demon Sealing Monument, he will hand its owner over to me so that I can personally take his life!"
"Is that all you want as a promise?"
This time, it was King Archer who was somewhat surprised, as he hadn’t expected Hemingway’s request to be limited to this.
"Yes."
Hemingway Wood nodded, speaking with resentment, "That person not only killed the grand elder of my Netherworld Sect but also forced me to flee from the Netherworld Sect in disgrace... Nowadays, the Netherworld Sect is probably almost nonexistent. He destroyed my sect, so I want his life!"
"This is just a small matter; I can promise you that."
King Archer agreed readily.
"Thank you, Fourth Prince."
Hemingway Wood hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
"Now, you should be able to tell me whose hands hold the Demon Sealing Monument, right?"
King Archer asked.
For a moment, the two elders behind King Archer were also closely staring at Hemingway Wood’s face, as if they wanted to discern the truth from his facial expressions.
"Fourth Prince, you probably have heard of the owner of the Demon Sealing Monument."
Hemingway Wood said.
"Oh? I’ve heard of it?"
Hearing Hemingway Wood’s words, King Archer was even more curious, "Who is it?"
"Wyatt Barnes!"
Hemingway Wood practically gritted his teeth, enunciating each word with a low voice.
"Wyatt Barnes?"
King Archer raised an eyebrow, "This name sounds familiar."
"Fourth Prince, the recently risen and famous Honorary Minister of the Swayer Family, ’Mr. Barnes,’ is actually named ’Wyatt Barnes.’"
At this moment, one of the elders behind King Archer said to him.
"Is it him?"
Upon hearing this, King Archer was initially surprised, then looked at Hemingway Wood, as if trying to get confirmation from him.
"That’s right! It’s him."
Hemingway Wood nodded heavily and said, "On that day, it was he who stormed into my Netherworld Sect and used the Demon Sealing Monument to kill the grand elder of my Netherworld Sect, while I narrowly escaped death."
Recalling the situation from that day, Hemingway Wood still felt a chill down his spine.
At the moment when he was locked onto by the Demon Sealing Monument’s aura, he thought he would surely die, but surprisingly, the monument first pursued the grand elder of the Netherworld Sect instead.
Seizing that critical moment, he forcibly activated the True Origin within him, breaking free from the monument’s lock, thus surviving.
"The Swayer Family’s Honorary Minister ’Wyatt Barnes’ is it? The Demon Sealing Monument in your hands, I want it."
At some point, a cold smile appeared on King Archer’s lips, though a strange excitement rippled through his heart, as if he could already see himself obtaining the Demon Sealing Monument.
"If I can get the Demon Sealing Monument, those Saint Realm demon cultivators under my second brother’s command will be of no concern! I can personally suppress them with the Demon Sealing Monument."
At this thought, King Archer became even more excited.
In his excitement, the portrait left behind by Moody Nicholson slipped from his grasp, spreading open on the ground.
"It’s him!"
Seeing the handsome young man in the portrait, Hemingway Wood’s pupils suddenly constricted.
