Chapter 2666: Inner Court Elder Khaza Mullins
Even this ’low-grade alchemist’ from the Mullins Family could never have dreamed that Wyatt Barnes would suddenly make a move against him, and with such speed that he couldn’t react in time.
Otherwise, even if he was no match, he wouldn’t have died so quickly!
"Hmm?"
At the very moment he killed the elder of the Mullins Family, who appeared as a middle-aged man, Wyatt Barnes discovered:
The grey flame residing in the fragment of iron on the side of his soul suddenly surged out completely.
Not only did it rush out of the iron fragment, but it also transformed into a grey stream of light, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, and exited his body, entering the body of the middle-aged man-like elder of the Mullins Family.
"What... is it trying to do?"
Out of curiosity, Wyatt followed with his Divine Sense.
The next moment, he saw:
The grey flame, which emerged from the iron fragment, after entering the body of the elder of the Mullins Family who looked like a middle-aged man, devoured a wisp of light blue flame inside him, making it part of itself.
Before the grey flame devoured that wisp of blue flame, Wyatt Barnes also noticed that the blue flame was on the verge of dissipating.
"Is that... celestial fire?"
"The elder from the Mullins Family I just killed... could it be... could it really be their ’low-grade alchemist’?"
At this moment, Wyatt Barnes vaguely realized this.
At the same time, Wyatt couldn’t help but feel a sense of lingering fear.
An alchemist, once they detonated the celestial fire within them, even a powerful Daai Law Golden Immortal wouldn’t survive if they were this close!
"Luckily, he was killed with one strike... If he’d had time to react, I would have surely perished with him!"
Wyatt inwardly rejoiced.
While feeling relieved, Wyatt also noticed:
The grey flame which had leapt out from the iron fragment, after devouring the celestial fire within the elder of the Mullins Family, returned to Wyatt’s body and reentered the iron fragment.
"What exactly is going on?"
"In theory... if an alchemist is killed, their celestial fire should dissipate on its own and can’t be absorbed by anyone. However, my ’celestial fire’ seems to have devoured it... I’ve never heard of a celestial fire that could devour another’s celestial fire."
Because he had never heard of it, Wyatt was puzzled.
He had no idea what just happened, nor understood why the grey celestial fire within him could devour others’ celestial fires...
Wyatt couldn’t possibly know now:
The grey flame within him wasn’t any ordinary celestial fire, but rather a ’celestial flame’ that surpassed celestial fires, the most powerful celestial flame in existence, the Chaos Divine Fire!
Of course, the Chaos Divine Fire within him was only in its second form and couldn’t compare to the perfect form, the ninth form of the Chaos Divine Fire, existing on a completely different level.
However, even so, the second form of the Chaos Divine Fire within him was already comparable to an ordinary ’mid-grade celestial fire’.
Sss! Sss! Sss! Sss! Sss!
...
Just as Wyatt was still startled by the grey fire within him, a series of gasps reached his ears.
It was the Mullins Family members, who, after witnessing their elder, the low-grade alchemist, being killed, were frozen for a moment before they snapped out of their daze and couldn’t help but gasp.
"Elder Franco... is he really dead like that?"
"Elder Franco wasn’t just a ’low-grade alchemist’; he was also a ’Blue Sun Golden Immortal’ like our family head, but even stronger! Yet, he... was killed by this young man in purple with a single strike?"
"Even if this young man in purple launched a sneak attack... his strength must be at least at the ’Purple Sun Golden Immortal’ level!"
"The ’Purple Sun Golden Immortal’... our Mullins Family only has two."
...
The group of elders from the Mullins Family, shocked by the death of their low-grade alchemist elder, looked at Wyatt again with eyes full of fear and dread.
"He... he actually killed Elder Franco?"
Anders Mullins looked at Wyatt Barnes in disbelief, never expecting that this purple-clad young man who had followed him back to the Mullins Family could kill their elder, Franco.
He knew that Elder Franco was not only a low-grade alchemist but also a ’Blue Sun Golden Immortal’ stronger than his father!
"For him to so easily kill Elder Franco... it indicates he’s at least a ’Purple Sun Golden Immortal’. But... how is this possible? He’s... he’s not yet a hundred years old!!"
Anders Mullins remembered the words another elder, Khaza, had once said to him.
A ’Purple Sun Golden Immortal’ under a hundred years old?
He couldn’t believe such a person existed in a place like Nine Nether County.
"You... how dare you kill Elder Franco? You... you..."
The Mullins Family’s head, Cruz Mullins, finally snapped out of it, pointed at Wyatt Barnes, his body trembling with uncontrollable rage.
In the Mullins Family, Franco was irreplaceable.
Because Franco was a ’low-grade alchemist,’ and one of only three in Nine Nether County.
With Franco’s death, their family’s pill medicine business would suffer a catastrophic blow!
"Who the hell are you?!"
Another elder of the Mullins Family, an old man with a grey robe and youthful features, looked at Wyatt again, his eyes filled with caution and no longer daring to underestimate him as before.
"Who’s causing trouble at the Mullins Family?"
Before Wyatt could respond to the elder of the Mullins Family, a thunderous and robust voice boomed from the distance, echoing through the Mullins estate, alerting everyone in the family.
"This voice... It seems to be Elder Khaza Mullins’ voice!"
"Elder Khaza Mullins usually stays in the County Governor’s Mansion, right? Why did he suddenly come back?"
"Judging from Elder Khaza Mullins’ tone... It sounds like someone is causing trouble at our Mullins Family?"
"Who would dare to cause trouble at our Mullins Family, such that Elder Khaza Mullins had to come back to support us!"
...
Khaza Mullins, one of the three supreme elders of the Mullins Family, is also the strongest among them. He usually stays in the Nine Nether County Governor’s Mansion as an internal elder there.
Among the internal elders of the County Governor’s Mansion, his strength is only surpassed by two others.
"It’s Elder Khaza Mullins!"
"Elder Khaza Mullins has returned!"
...
Above the Mullins Family main hall, a group of Mullins Family elders heard Khaza Mullins’ voice and their gazes lit up.
"Second Uncle!"
Anders Mullins’ eyes brightened.
Khaza Mullins is indeed his father’s younger brother, his own uncle.
Whoosh!
Under the gaze of the crowd, as a gust of wind blew by, a tall figure appeared clearly before everyone’s eyes.
This was a middle-aged man, dressed in a pale green robe, with a square-shaped face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a broad chest, and a sturdy waist. He looked very rough, but his eyes flashed with a wise light, forming a sharp contrast with his rugged appearance.
"Elder Khaza Mullins!"
"Greetings, Elder Khaza Mullins!"
...
After the middle-aged man in the green robe appeared, a group of Mullins Family elders respectfully bowed to him.
"Second Uncle!"
Anders Mullins was extremely excited.
"Second Brother, you’re finally back."
Cruz Mullins sighed deeply.
"Hmm?"
The middle-aged man in the green robe, the supreme elder of the Mullins Family, internal elder of the County Governor’s Mansion, ’Khaza Mullins’, inadvertently noticed the body lying lifelessly on the tiles of the Mullins Family main hall, its body riddled with holes and eyes unwilling to close in peace.
His pupils fiercely contracted.
"Franco Mullins?"
Moments later, Khaza Mullins finally regained his composure, his face turning extremely grim.
Franco Mullins was a low-grade Alchemy Immortal Master of their Mullins Family, and had been his playmate since childhood, with an exceptionally close relationship.
Even:
The reason Khaza Mullins could possess his current strength was largely due to Franco Mullins, who had provided him bottle after bottle of Pill Medicine, allowing him to avoid many detours in his cultivation.
Because of this, Franco Mullins held a position in his heart that surpassed even his elder brother, the current head of the Mullins Family, ’Cruz Mullins’.
"Who did this?!"
Furiously angry, Khaza Mullins roared like a beast from deep within his throat, while his gaze began to scrutinize his surroundings, finally landing on Wyatt Barnes.
Just because, among all present, Wyatt Barnes was the only unfamiliar face.
"It was you?!"
Khaza Mullins stared fixedly at Wyatt Barnes, his gaze like a knife, seemingly wishing to shred Wyatt Barnes to pieces and scatter his remains!
However, in the face of Khaza Mullins’ interrogation, Wyatt Barnes chose to ignore him.
While Khaza Mullins was questioning Wyatt Barnes, Wyatt Barnes seemed to realize something, his gaze falling on the distant east...
Over there, two figures were coming through the air.
One was a woman, her face full of anxiousness, reflecting her current frantic mood.
The other was an elderly man, not tall, but exceptionally burly.
The old man wore a green robe, his head full of golden hair, a face covered with rugged beard, paired with fierce eyebrows, resembling an angry golden warrior, unconsciously exuding a sense of oppression.
He was like a king among beasts, patrolling his territory.
"Lin’er! Lin’er! Are you alright?"
As soon as the woman arrived near the Mullins Family main hall, she hurriedly called out.
"Mother, I’m alright!"
Upon hearing the voice, and seeing the woman, Anders Mullins immediately excitedly waved at her.
Moments later, the woman and elderly man arrived above the Mullins Family main hall.
The woman came to Anders Mullins’ side, looking him up and down. After confirming he was unharmed, she finally sighed in relief.
"Lin’er... Who wanted to kill you?!"
Relieved, but with murderous intent bursting from her eyes, the woman transformed in an instant into a ’female Asura’.
