Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1578 The Truth Revealed

"Withered, this is the Dragonsmith Clan, not your Mansion of Azure Clouds!"

The elder, his face flushed from Withered’s words, glared coldly and shouted in a low voice.

"Stand down."

Just as Withered was about to speak again, Emperor Mountain interjected, addressing the elder with a calm tone.

Though the elder was a Five-Clawed Divine Dragon, he dared not overstep the authority of Emperor Mountain, the Dragon Clan Chief, and obediently stepped back.

However, his gaze towards Withered still flickered with coldness.

"What? Want to fight me?"

Noticing the chill in the elder’s eyes, Withered sneered, "It’s not that I look down on you... Within your Dragonsmith Clan, only three people can make me wary. You are not among them."

The elder’s face turned red upon hearing this, but he was lost for words.

This was an undeniable fact.

Though he glared angrily at Withered, he was fully aware that he was not his match.

Within their Dragonsmith Clan, only two people could defeat Withered, and another could fight him to a draw. The rest, including himself, were no match for Withered.

Seeing the elder hesitate to speak again, Withered retreated behind Lanni Barnes.

"House Master Barnes, how has Emperor End offended you?"

Emperor Mountain looked at Lanni Barnes with a calm gaze and asked, seemingly unaffected by Emperor End’s near-death experience.

"Emperor Mountain, what would you do if someone nearly killed your son?"

Lanni Barnes glanced at Emperor Mountain, a sneer on his face.

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing Lanni Barnes’ words, Emperor Mountain’s brows furrowed. He had just arrived and knew nothing of the situation.

He turned to look at Emperor End.

"His son is ’Wyatt Barnes’."

Emperor End, having narrowly survived, had a more composed expression. Seeing Emperor Mountain, the Clan Chief, looking over, he sent a message with bitter and helpless words.

Although he had not abandoned his hatred for Wyatt Barnes despite his father’s status as House Master of Azure Clouds, he knew he had to yield. He was no match for the House Master and resisting blindly would be disastrous.

"Wyatt Barnes?"

Upon hearing Emperor End’s words, Emperor Mountain’s brow furrowed again.

He was familiar with the name, as it was tied to Emperor End’s quest for revenge.

Unexpectedly, the target from the mortal continent was the son of House Master Lanni Barnes.

Despite Lanni Barnes being much younger than him, Emperor Mountain knew of his terrifying power—the previous House Master of Mansion of Azure Clouds, whose strength was comparable, had reportedly died at Lanni’s hands.

Thus, Lanni Barnes ascended as the Mansion of Azure Clouds’ House Master.

Though Emperor Mountain hadn’t fought Lanni, he knew he might not have the upper hand even if he did.

"Emperor Mountain, today, if he dies, I will leave."

Lanni Barnes stated plainly, leaving no room for negotiation.

Hearing Lanni Barnes’ words, Zen Blood and other Five-Clawed Dragon Elders were visibly shaken, with Zen Blood eventually stepping up to ask sternly, "House Master Barnes, what did Emperor End do to warrant this?"

"Zen Blood, I advise you to stay out of this."

Noting Lanni Barnes’ lack of response, Withered coldly addressed Zen Blood, "Your Dragonsmith Clan’s Emperor End would only deserve death at the House Master’s hands! Do you know he almost killed our Junior House Master? Barnes Jr. is the House Master’s only son."

"What?!"

Withered’s words caused an uproar, with blood draining from the faces of Five-Clawed Dragon Elders, including Zen Blood, all turning to Emperor End.

"Emperor End, is this true?"

Zen Blood sternly asked.

Seeing Emperor End remain silent, the elders cursed him internally for his reckless provocation of such a formidable enemy.

Though labeling Emperor End as the culprit, in this moment of external threat, the elders prioritized the clan’s interests, not intending to incite internal conflict.

"Withered, could this be a misunderstanding?"

Zen Blood questioned Withered in a grave tone.

"Misunderstanding?"

Withered laughed, "If there’s any misunderstanding, it’s your clan’s Emperor End misjudging our Junior House Master. Even considering the implausible killing of his son, wouldn’t it cleanse the Dragonsmith Clan? Would your clan really prefer the growth of a Five-Clawed Demon Dragon?"

A Five-Clawed Demon Dragon!

With Withered’s words, Emperor End’s face drastically changed; he hadn’t expected Withered to mention this.

The Five-Clawed Demon Dragon was a Dragon Clan taboo.

Years ago, his son, the Five-Clawed Demon Dragon ’Emperor Yonah,’ was supposed to be executed but was saved through his cunning plan.

Though leaving Emperor Yonah alive, he couldn’t keep him in the Martial Dao Sacred Land, so he sent him to ’Crescent Island’ near the mortal continent, Cloud Skies Continent.

Only he knew this secret.

Despite many within the clan suspecting Emperor Yonah hadn’t died, lacking evidence to find him left them helpless.

Now, Withered exposed this truth, and Emperor End felt unease growing.

The Dragonsmith Clan Chief, ’Emperor Mountain,’ fixed his gaze on Withered, a chilling glare marking his displeasure at Withered’s disclosure.

"What? You all weren’t aware that Emperor End’s son, the Five-Clawed Demon Dragon, died only recently?"

Confident with Lanni Barnes as support, Withered fearlessly mocked the elders, "Lucky for you, the Five-Clawed Demon Dragon, though surviving, ultimately perished... Otherwise, upon growing stronger, your clan would face disaster! Haven’t you forgotten the ancestral rule of the Dragonsmith Clan?"

The clan’s ancestral rule dictated that any Five-Clawed Demon Dragon found must be killed immediately to avoid future troubles.

"Emperor End, your son really lived!"

Jelly Tyler glared at Emperor End, his expression dark.

Other Five-Clawed Dragon Elders looked equally displeased.

"Tsk tsk... Seems you were unaware."

Withered shook his head, clicking his tongue, "You should also know, the young man from your clan recently sought, ’Wyatt Barnes,’ might be a great benefactor to your clan! And, he is also Junior House Master of Azure Clouds."

Withered’s words struck like another explosive bomb.

The Dragonsmith Clan was seeking ’Wyatt Barnes,’ known to the elders as a task assigned by the clan chief, not Emperor End.

Suddenly, Zen Blood and other Five-Clawed Dragon Elders cast questioning looks at their clan chief, Emperor Mountain, for confirmation.

Emperor Mountain nodded.

Seeing no point in further hiding the truth.

Instantly, Zen Blood and the others wore grim expressions; all nightmare stems traced back to Emperor End.

House Master Barnes had justified reasons to demand Emperor End’s life.

In this affair, the Dragonsmith Clan fell short of legitimacy.

As Lanni Barnes squared off against the seven Five-Clawed Divine Dragons of the clan.

Far away in the Fletcher Kingdom’s capital, Wyatt Barnes, along with the Swayer Family’s eldest son ’Beau Swayer’ and elder ’Jordan Swayer,’ left the capital for Floating Flame Sect to challenge Miss Romero, ranked twenty-third on the Heavenly Ranking!
