Of course, Wyatt Barnes could easily guess what the Mysterious Buddha Sect group was thinking.
This was precisely his 'purpose'.
He wanted the Mysterious Buddha Sect group to believe that he intentionally didn't kill Frede Howl, allowing Frede Howl to use his 'soul separation' method to escape.
This was because he didn't want to expose the fact that he was now a 'spent force'.
After all, once this fact was exposed, the Mysterious Buddha Sect group would act without restraint, and the Fire Worship Sect present wouldn't be able to protect him, leaving him at the mercy of being taken away by the Mysterious Buddha Sect group.
That was not what he wanted to see!
Swoosh!
At some point, the immortal treasure 'Splendid Fairy Sword' had returned to Wyatt Barnes's hand.
