“Place of Darkness?” Ivy Chandler raised an eyebrow. “Did something happen with White Tiger’s team?”
Both Bob Stokes and Ian Blade looked at Billy.
“The fifth piece of the Five Elements Jade might be in the Sanctum of Darkness,” Billy explained.
“What?!” Ivy Chandler and the others exclaimed.
“Boss, is it true?” Bob Stokes asked.
“It’s only a possibility, so we need to check it out.” Billy responded.
“Billy, I’ll go with you!” Ivy Chandler volunteered.
“Good!” Billy smiled.
This time, the mission was clear-to confront Sanctum of Darkness and retrieve the fifth jade piece. Having Ivy Chandler, a War God-Emperor, would significantly increase their chances.
“For the next few days, I’ll follow Billy. Where he goes, I go!” Ivy Chandler teased with a mischievous smile.
Stout pretended not to hear, stifling a laugh.
“Boss, I’m going too!” Bob Stokes and Ian Blade both exclaimed.
“No, you two stay. You have tasks here, and the capital needs someone to remain vigilant. The ancient martial sects might send people,” Billy instructed.
“But Boss, let us go!” they insisted.
“No need to discuss further. That’s settled. Also, I have a task for you. You have half a month to break through your current realms.” Billy commanded.
After some more conversation, Billy, Ivy Chandler, Night Orchid, and Stout boarded a warplane heading to Place of Darkness.
At the same time, Casey, Azure Fang, and others set out for the same destination.
In the afternoon, they arrived at the Rakshasa Hall headquarters. Billy was greeted by the kneeling members.
“Rise and speak!” Billy gestured.
“Thank you, Commander Gardner!” they replied.
“Boss!” White Tiger and others approached.
Billy pointed to Ivy Chandler. “Do you recognize Ivy?”
“Are you Ivy?!” White Tiger recognized her. He had met Ivy Chandler once before. He felt vaguely familiar at first sight.
“White Tiger, it’s been a while.” Ivy greeted.
“You’re really Ivy!” White Tiger’s face was full of joy, “Why are you here too!”
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Rakshasa and the others and introduced, “This is Ivy Chandler!”
“Nice to meet you, Miss Chandler! I’m Rakshasa.” Rakshasa and others bowed to say hello.
“Nice to meet you too!” Ivy Chandler smiled again and looked at Rakshasa, “I have long heard that White Tiger has a beautiful girlfriend. Indeed, she is gorgeous!”
“Compared with you, I am an ugly duckling.” Rakshasa responded with a blush on her face. After a brief pause, she looked at Billy and said, “Commander Gardner, let’s talk in the room!”
“Rakshasa, from now on just like White Tiger, call me boss!” Billy smiled and led everyone to the meeting hall.
“Yes, boss!” Rakshasa responded quickly after being stunned for a moment.
After a while, a group of people entered the meeting hall.
“It’s not bad. I haven’t seen you for a while. I’ve broken through to War Emperor realm!” Billy sat down and looked at White Tiger and said.
He had just checked the cultivation levels of White Tiger and the others; they all had made considerable progress. White Tiger had officially entered the War Emperor realm; Rakshasa had also reached the peak of War Grandmaster realm; James Harper had broken through the ‘mirror’ and entered the War Grandmaster realm, and several lieutenants of Theodore Ford had also been promoted to the late Warlord stage.
During this period, they should have experienced many battles.
“As long as we don’t embarrass you, boss!” White Tiger grinned and continued, “What is the cultivation level of Azure Dragon now? This time, I will give him a pretty good fight!”
Hearing his words, Night Orchid couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “White Tiger, you’d better take it easy, I’m worried that your bones won’t be able to bear it.”
“Orchid, what do you mean?” White Tiger was slightly stunned.
“I suggest you stay away from Azure Dragon now. He’s a true War God-Emperor powerhouse!” Stout warned.
“What?!” White Tiger was astonished, and so were Rakshasa and others.
“Is it true, Orchid?” White Tiger turned to her.
“It’s true! He’s a legitimate War God-Emperor now.”
“Damn! Why didn’t Boss call me back for such a good thing?” White Tiger complained.
“White Tiger, be patient. Stout brought you some good things,” Night Orchid said.
“What things?” White Tiger asked Stout.
“Everything is in there. Take a look yourselves,” Stout said, tossing a bag to White Tiger, along with a stern command from Billy to consume the contents to achieve breakthroughs.
After some more talk, Casey, Azure Fang, and others arrived, and the discussion turned to the recent events in Place of Darkness.
“White Tiger, give us an update on the recent situation in Place of Darkness.” Billy requested.
White Tiger detailed the events, informing them that Sanctum of Darkness had rebuilt its first branch, and Northfortia had sent reinforcements. It took him more than half an hour to describe everything he knew.
“Boss, should we wipe out the eight branch halls first, or go directly to their headquarters?” White Tiger asked.
“Let’s go straight to the headquarters. Get the fifth jade piece first,” Billy decided.
“Understood!” White Tiger agreed. “Should we bring everyone?”
“Except for the one thousand members of Army of Bloodshadow, pick another one thousand. The rest stay at the headquarters.” Billy instructed.
“Got it!” White Tiger nodded. “Boss, should we go in batches? I’m concerned that if we all go at once, Sanctum of Darkness will quickly receive the news.”
“No. Just let them know.” Billy replied.
“What does it mean?” Rakshasa was puzzled.
“Rakshasa, it’s clear. Boss wants to give them time, preferably to recall all their core members to the headquarters.” Azure Dragon explained.
“I understand!” Rakshasa’s eyes lit up. This was Billy’s way of dealing with Place of Darkness.
“Alright, let’s go!” Billy said, leading the way. The group, with two thousand Rakshasa Hall elites, departed for Sanctum of Darkness headquarters.
Ten minutes later, they set out on their mission.
