Three days ago, when Wyatt Barnes broke Felix Campbell’s four limbs, leaving him severely injured, the news spread like wildfire in the County Governor’s Mansion.
At that ti, almost everyone believed:
Wyatt Barnes was in big trouble!
After all, Wyatt not only violated the rules of Qianlong Abyss, but also crippled the limbs of the adopted son of Tony Campbell, the foremost Sacrificial Officer in their County Governor’s Mansion, offending Tony Campbell.
However, no one expected that, three days later, there would be such an ’outco’.
The Lord County Governor of their mansion not only refrained from severely punishing Wyatt but instead stated that Wyatt was not at fault, and all the bla lay with their mansion’s Inner Mansion Elder, Christian Clark.
It was because Christian did not explain the rules of Qianlong Abyss to Wyatt that Wyatt committed such a mistake.
Therefore, Wyatt’s mistake was understandable.
"Elder Christian did not clearly explain the rules of Qianlong Abyss to Wyatt, so Wyatt accidentally severely injured Felix Campbell?"
"This reason... why does it feel a bit far-fetched?"
"Elder Christian’s caution and ticulousness, in the past, were renowned in our County Governor’s Mansion. Could he possibly forget to explain the rules of Qianlong Abyss to Wyatt?"
"Why do I feel... the Lord County Governor seems inclined to protect Wyatt?"
"That’s unlikely, right? Why would the Lord County Governor protect Wyatt? After all, Felix Campbell is the adopted son of Tony Campbell, the Sacrificial Officer. Between Tony Campbell and Wyatt, the Lord County Governor would surely side with Tony Campbell, right?"
"Exactly! No matter how high Wyatt’s talent is, his current value in the eyes of the Lord County Governor certainly cannot surpass that of Tony Campbell!"
...
The entire County Governor’s Mansion was abuzz with such discussions.
The declaration of this ’outco’ by the Lord of Nine Nether County left them all in shock and disbelief.
After all, in the past, Elder Christian’s caution and ticulousness were well-known within the County Governor’s Mansion. If other Inner Mansion Elders were careless, they wouldn’t be surprised.
But to suggest that Elder Christian was careless and made such a mistake was sothing they found hard to believe.
Inside the County Governor’s Mansion, in a spacious courtyard.
Listening to the news from outside, Christian Clark, sitting at a stone table sipping tea, couldn’t help but shake his head with a bitter smile:
"I initially thought that kid Wyatt would be in big trouble this ti... but who would have thought that with the arrival of King Cooper’s envoy, he managed to escape this crisis."
As for the news spreading like wildfire in the County Governor’s Mansion today, Christian was not surprised. In fact, he had already ntally prepared himself yesterday.
Yesterday, the Lord County Governor of Nine Nether County, Tian Jiyu, personally visited him to discuss the arrival of King Cooper’s envoy and conveyed King Cooper’s ssage...
At that mont, Christian realized:
The young strongman Wyatt Barnes, whom he brought back from Bloodshade City, had already beco invaluable in the eyes of the Lord County Governor, even surpassing their mansion’s foremost Sacrificial Officer, Tony Campbell.
"The grand scale of the Sixteen Counties Martial et, offering the middle-grade Immortal Pill ’Daai Law Pill’... This ti, King Cooper’s mansion has truly made quite a gesture!"
Christian exclaid.
He knew in his heart that it was precisely because of this that in the eyes of the Lord County Governor, Wyatt had enough value to rival Tony Campbell.
Because the Lord County Governor needed Wyatt to win the reward of the middle-grade Immortal Pill ’Daai Law Pill’ during the Sixteen Counties Martial et.
A single middle-grade Immortal Pill ’Daai Law Pill’ could create a Daai Law Golden Immortal.
Moreover, as far as he knew, if the Lord County Governor could obtain the middle-grade Immortal Pill ’Daai Law Pill’, his cultivation level might advance even further!
"Before Wyatt appeared, upon learning this news, the Lord County Governor surely saw Felix Campbell as the hope... but now, Wyatt, who could defeat Felix with a single move, has replaced him and has beco the Lord County Governor’s hope."
Christian was very clear about this.
If it were not the case, the Lord County Governor would not have personally approached him to discuss and have him take the fall for this incident, to protect Wyatt.
"I’ve indeed borne this ’bla’ this ti..."
Now, it was widely rumored outside that Wyatt violated the rules of Qianlong Abyss because, as the guide, he did not explain the rules to Wyatt, making him the ’source’ of the error.
Under the Lord County Governor’s indication, he willingly bore this ’bla’.
However, despite bearing this ’bla’, he wasn’t dissatisfied.
Because the Lord County Governor had promised him many benefits and assured him:
Even if Tony Campbell caused trouble for him, he would be protected, ensuring he wouldn’t suffer any harm or mishap.
Qianlong Abyss.
"That Wyatt Barnes... escaped unscathed?"
"Oh my God! In the end, this matter turned out to be Elder Christian’s fault?"
"Wyatt Barnes was brought back by Elder Christian from Bloodshade City... By doing this, although he protected Wyatt, he also implicated himself! Is it worth it for him to do this?"
"Do you an... Elder Christian willingly bore this ’bla’ to protect Wyatt?"
"Indeed. Given Elder Christian’s caution and ticulousness, it’s almost impossible that he didn’t inform Wyatt about the rules of Qianlong Abyss. This must be a ’bla’ Elder Christian took for Wyatt."
...
A group of young powerhouses within Qianlong Abyss now unanimously believed:
It was the Elder Christian Clark from the County Governor’s Mansion who took the bla to protect Wyatt Barnes.
Otherwise, even if Wyatt survived this ti, he would have been severely punished!
"Elder Christian Clark?"
Ares Cooper, who had just erged from the cultivation chamber, also heard about the decision made by the Nine Nether County Governor’s Mansion regarding the incident of Wyatt severely injuring Felix Campbell three days ago, and he was shocked.
He never expected that in the end, Elder Christian Clark would be blad for the incident.
He had co to the Dragon Abyss alongside Wyatt.
He still vividly rembered what Elder Christian Clark had said to Wyatt when they arrived at the Dragon Abyss.
He clearly rembered:
At that ti, Elder Christian Clark had explained the rules of the Dragon Abyss to them in detail, which included the rule that challengers could not kill, severely injure, or cripple those they challenged.
"This matter involves the first Sacrificial Officer of the County Governor’s Mansion, Tony Campbell... Is Elder Christian Clark not afraid of Tony Campbell causing trouble for him by taking the bla for Wyatt so blatantly?"
Ares Cooper pondered, unable to comprehend this.
Although Christian Clark was an Elder of the inner mansion in the County Governor’s Mansion and ranked second only to the Daai Law Golden Immortal in Nine Nether County, he was not a Daai Law Golden Immortal himself and his value in the mansion couldn’t compare to Tony Campbell, the first Sacrificial Officer.
Even if Tony Campbell were to kill him openly, he wouldn’t face significant punishnt.
In the eyes of the Nine Nether County Governor, Tony Campbell’s value far surpassed that of a Christian Clark!
Thus, Ares Cooper was puzzled.
Why was Elder Christian Clark helping Wyatt so much without fearing offending Tony Campbell?
Ares Cooper was unaware of the ’Sixteen Counties Martial et’ and the related rewards, otherwise, he might have thought differently.
Three days ago, Felix Campbell, one of the main protagonists in the incident, had expected to hear that Wyatt would be severely punished after leaving the cultivation chamber, but unexpectedly:
He received news that Wyatt was fine and that Elder Christian Clark had taken the bla for him.
"No... Impossible! Impossible!!"
Felix Campbell kept shaking his head, unwilling to believe what he was hearing.
But as similar words were repeated more often around him, he had no choice but to believe it, even if he didn’t want to.
"Elder Christian Clark... Elder Christian Clark..."
Felix Campbell imdiately went to find Elder Christian Clark and questioned him urgently:
"Elder Christian Clark, why did you help Wyatt? Your cautiousness and ticulousness are well-known in the County Governor’s Mansion, so you must have inford Wyatt about the rules of the Dragon Abyss."
"What is your relationship with Wyatt? Why are you protecting him like this?"
Felix Campbell asked Elder Christian Clark in a deep voice.
"Impudent!"
Christian Clark coldly shouted, glaring at Felix Campbell, "Felix Campbell, do you know who you’re speaking to? I am Elder Christian Clark of the County Governor’s Mansion, and you, a re disciple of the Dragon Abyss, dare to question ?"
Facing Christian Clark’s stern tone, Felix Campbell showed no fear and continued in a deep voice:
"Elder Christian Clark, don’t forget, besides being a disciple of the Dragon Abyss, I am also the adopted son of Tony Campbell... By taking the bla for Wyatt, you are essentially opposing my adoptive father! You’re not just offending , but my adoptive father as well!"
"Aren’t you afraid my adoptive father will co to settle accounts with you?"
As Felix Campbell spoke, his tone carried a clear threat.
"Get out!"
Faced with Felix Campbell’s threat, Christian Clark was also enraged. With a wave of his hand, a vast and mighty force surged forth like a massive boulder, slamming directly into Felix Campbell and forcefully throwing him out of the courtyard.
"If you’re dissatisfied... feel free to have Sacrificial Officer Tony Campbell co find personally!"
As Felix Campbell was thrown out of the courtyard and landed heavily on the ground, Christian Clark’s icy voice rang out.
For a mont, Felix Campbell, who was sprawled on the ground, was dumbfounded and didn’t get up for a long ti.
He couldn’t understand at all:
Why did Elder Christian Clark show no fear whatsoever when ntioning his adoptive father!
Inside the courtyard, Christian Clark showed a mocking smile.
He was naturally wary of Sacrificial Officer Tony Campbell.
However, he had taken the bla for Wyatt this ti under the instructions of the Lord County Governor of the County Governor’s Mansion. With the protection of the Lord County Governor, he didn’t have to worry about Tony Campbell causing him any trouble over this matter.
Outside, Wyatt was unaware of what was happening.
Inside the cultivation chamber of the Dragon Abyss, he was entirely imrsed in his training, completely forgetting the passage of ti...
"Finally..."
Half a year later, with no interruptions, Wyatt finally opened his eyes, a brilliant light flashing within them.
Golden Immortal!
He had finally achieved the rank of ’Golden Immortal’!
