Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1584: Lanni Barnes’s Condition

In Emperor End’s view.

The ’Dragon Washing Pool’ will open in three years.

If he can enter by then, he will undoubtedly undergo a complete transformation and achieve accomplishments far greater than Emperor Mountain in the future.

However, if he misses the opportunity in three years, even if he can enter the Dragon Washing Pool five thousand years later, he would have missed the optimal age... Although the Dragonsmith Clan is exceptionally long-lived, generally only those under five thousand years old are considered young dragons.

Once they reach five thousand years, many things become fixed.

Generally, those with average talent at the age of five thousand achieve little in their lifetime.

And now, with just one sentence from Lanni Barnes, his hope has been extinguished.

How can he be reconciled with that?

However, facing the formidable Lanni Barnes, he dare not say much and could only look at Emperor Mountain, hastily transmitting: "Clan Chief, the ’Dragon Washing Pool’ is the cornerstone of our Dragonsmith Clan, and it only opens once every five thousand years, you must not hand this opportunity over to Lanni Barnes! If outsiders use the Dragon Washing Pool in three years, our Dragonsmith Clan will fall silent for another five thousand years!"

In his words, Emperor End released his trump card.

As a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, he naturally knows Emperor Mountain’s aspirations and knows his regret for not being able to enter the ’Dragon Washing Pool’ back then.

Of course, Emperor Mountain’s regret is not about the enhancement of his own strength.

Emperor Mountain regrets that because he couldn’t enhance his strength through the ’Dragon Washing Pool’, he didn’t lead the Dragonsmith Clan to glory... Presently, although the Dragonsmith Clan is still a top force in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, it is no longer comparable to the Dragonsmith Clan of the past, and the root of all this lies with him as the clan chief.

Just like the previous generation of the Dragonsmith Clan Chief, who, after being refined by the ’Dragon Washing Pool’, was incredibly powerful, dominating the land, and led the Dragonsmith Clan to the true peak of the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.

In that era, the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land had barely any forces daring to confront the Dragonsmith Clan.

Now, although the Dragonsmith Clan appears glorious on the surface, in reality, it is already on a decline.

All roots lie in the lack of deterrence in the Dragonsmith Clan, and this deterrence comes from the clan chief’s own strength.

As this generation’s clan chief, Emperor Mountain’s strength is not enough to create deterrence.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be cornered into seeking peace by Lanni Barnes today.

If it had been the previous generation of the Dragonsmith Clan Chief, there would never have been any fear of Lanni Barnes, as that chief’s strength at the time was nearly unrivaled across the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.

The Dragonsmith Clan Chief of that generation was also ranked ’Top Three’ on the ’Extreme Saint Ranking’.

Hearing Emperor End’s transmission, Emperor Mountain felt a surge of annoyance.

If it hadn’t been for this guy causing trouble, how could the Dragonsmith Clan be so passive this time?

If it hadn’t been for this guy causing trouble, how could Lanni Barnes make such demands?

However, even without Emperor End’s transmission, Emperor Mountain would also find it hard to agree to Lanni Barnes’ demands.

Although Emperor Mountain wouldn’t vie for the opportunity to enter the ’Dragon Washing Pool’ in three years, he had long decided to give that opportunity to Emperor End because Emperor End is the predetermined next clan chief within the Dragonsmith Clan. If he can enter the Dragon Washing Pool and receive baptism, it would certainly allow the Dragonsmith Clan to relive the glory days of the previous clan chief.

By then, once Emperor End grows, the Dragonsmith Clan will fear neither the Mansion of Azure Clouds nor the Shadow Mountain Black Market!

As the clan chief of the Dragonsmith Clan, Emperor Mountain is quite qualified, at least he always stands from the Dragonsmith Clan’s perspective rather than a personal one.

If he were a selfish person, the opportunity to enter the Dragon Washing Pool in three years would never go to Emperor End.

Although entering the Dragon Washing Pool now wouldn’t give him much of an enhancement, if he were selfish, he wouldn’t miss any chance for improvement, no matter how small.

It is precisely because he considers everything from the Dragonsmith Clan’s perspective that he allows Emperor End’s wilfulness and recklessness.

Like before, when Emperor End sent away his son, the Five-Clawed Demon Dragon ’Emperor Yonah’, he was actually well aware of it, just chose not to expose it.

And the last time Emperor End threatened him into finding Wyatt Barnes, he complied without hesitation.

He didn’t do it because he feared Emperor End, but because he feared that if Emperor End left the Dragonsmith Clan in anger, the clan would lose its heir and he would become a sinner in the clan.

Even if what he did for Emperor End went against his principles, he still did it for the future of the Dragonsmith Clan.

Emperor Mountain is such a person, or rather, such a dragon.

His whole life has been lived for the Dragonsmith Clan.

Therefore, Lanni Barnes’ conditions are something he cannot agree to.

Taking a deep breath, Emperor Mountain looked at Lanni Barnes and said firmly, "House Master Barnes, since you know of our Dragonsmith Clan’s ’Dragon Washing Pool’, you should also know its significance to our clan... You should know that we dragons can never let outsiders enter the Dragon Washing Pool."

"I’ve said, we can leave the Dragon Washing Pool aside... However, Emperor End must be handed over to me!"

Lanni Barnes spoke in a calm tone, casting a glance toward Emperor End as he spoke.

From the beginning to the end, he appeared not the least bit surprised by Emperor Mountain’s refusal.

"House Master Barnes, you are making an unreasonable demand!"

Emperor Mountain said in a deep voice.

"An unreasonable demand?"

Lanni Barnes’ face darkened, and he sneered, "Emperor Mountain, you seem to have misunderstood something... Do you think I, Lanni Barnes, came to your Dragonsmith Clan looking for trouble without reason? If it weren’t for someone from your clan being too overbearing, even if you invited me with great pomp, I wouldn’t want to come to this wretched place of yours!"

Dragonsmith Clan, a wretched place!

Such words, throughout the entire Martial Dao Sacred Land, hardly anyone would dare to say them.

Yet Lanni Barnes said them, making the faces of Zen Blood and several other Five-Clawed Divine Dragon elders turn alternately blue and white, yet they dared not show any dissatisfaction.

This House Master Barnes is clearly in a rage.

At this moment, anyone provoking him would be heading directly into the line of fire, wouldn’t they?

They’re not foolish.

"House Master Barnes, I’ve already admitted that my Dragonsmith Clan is at fault in this matter... Other than these two demands, I can agree to any other request you have."

Emperor Mountain sighed, speaking somewhat helplessly.

His heart was filled with bitterness.

If only he had entered the Dragon Washing Pool five thousand years ago, how could he be in such a passive position now?

If he had entered the Dragon Washing Pool back then, he was confident that today he could easily crush Lanni Barnes with his power.

"I’m not interested in making a third demand..."

Lanni Barnes spoke indifferently, causing Emperor Mountain’s expression to change, and Emperor End, along with several Five-Clawed Divine Dragon elders led by Zen Blood, also showed altered expressions.

They didn’t expect Lanni Barnes to be so resolute.

Either let his son enter the Dragon Washing Pool in three years.

Or kill Emperor End.

"House Master Barnes... "

Emperor Mountain furrowed his brow, face gloomy, already considering whether to lure Lanni Barnes away from the Dragonsmith Clan territory and then have a decisive battle with him.

"I haven’t finished speaking."

Lanni Barnes interrupted Emperor Mountain, speaking calmly, "Although I’m not going to make a third demand, I’m willing to add some conditions to my son’s request to enter the Dragon Washing Pool... These conditions are also very fair to your Dragonsmith Clan. If you agree, I’ll leave immediately and won’t pursue Emperor End’s previous actions."

Emperor Mountain exchanged glances with several Five-Clawed Divine Dragons, seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.

"House Master Barnes, please speak."

Emperor Mountain quickly looked at Lanni Barnes again, showing a ’willing to listen’ expression.

"As far as I know, although your Dragonsmith Clan’s Dragon Washing Pool is set to open in three years... the specific opening time is determined by you, the Dragonsmith Clan Chief. It can even be postponed until six years later... Am I correct?"

Lanni Barnes looked at Emperor Mountain and asked.

"House Master Barnes is indeed very knowledgeable about our Dragonsmith Clan’s Dragon Washing Pool."

Emperor Mountain smiled bitterly, cursing inwardly that Lanni Barnes hadn’t been eyeing their Dragonsmith Clan’s Dragon Washing Pool for a long time. Otherwise, why would he know so much about it? "The Dragon Washing Pool opens in three years, the exact day determined by me, but can be postponed up to three years, and if not entered within six years, it won’t be possible again for nearly five thousand years."

"Seems to match what I know."

Lanni Barnes nodded, then looked at Emperor End again, speaking calmly, "My condition is... that the Dragon Washing Pool be postponed by two years, opening in five years. Before it opens, there will be a battle between my son and Emperor End, and the winner will enter the Dragon Washing Pool! Does this satisfy you, Clan Chief Emperor Mountain? If not, then there’s nothing more to say, we’ll fight!"

As he said this, Lanni Barnes looked at Emperor Mountain, ready to engage in battle at any moment.

"Five years?"

Hearing this, Emperor Mountain didn’t immediately agree but first looked at Emperor End.

Among those present in the Dragonsmith Clan, only Emperor End had interacted with Lanni Barnes’ son ’Wyatt Barnes’ and had some understanding of him.

However, when looking at Emperor End, he saw Emperor End’s eyes light up with strong confidence, showing no reluctance towards Lanni Barnes’ proposed additional condition.

"Emperor End, are you confident?"

Emperor Mountain asked telepathically, seeking further confirmation.

"Clan Chief, accept his terms!"

Emperor End replied telepathically, full of confidence in his tone, "That Wyatt Barnes, I’ve interacted with him. Although he’s talented, it’s just that... Forget five years, even if you give him ten or twenty years, he won’t be my match! That Lanni Barnes really underestimates me, to propose such a condition."

As he spoke, Emperor End’s tone was full of disdain.

"Are you certain?"

Emperor Mountain was still somewhat hesitant, "Since Lanni Barnes proposed such a condition, he surely wouldn’t do so without reason... You must consider this seriously. If you lose in five years, you will lose the chance to enter the Dragon Washing Pool! At that time, our Dragonsmith Clan will also be forced into silence for another five thousand years... If you fail, you will not only miss a great opportunity, but you will also become the sinner of the Dragonsmith Clan!

Sinner of the Dragonsmith Clan!

Emperor Mountain’s words did strike hard, causing Emperor End to fall into silence.

Emperor End kept replaying the scenes of his interactions with Wyatt Barnes in his mind. After a while, he confidently responded to Emperor Mountain, "Clan Chief, I am sure! Although Wyatt Barnes has decent talent, it’s not to an extraordinary level... Forget whether he can survive until five years later, even if he does, I am fully confident I can defeat him then!"
