“What’s going on?” The Lord of the fourth division instinctively asked.
“Do you know why the people from the Second, Seventh, and Eighth Divisions haven’t arrived yet?” Ivy Chandler replied, throwing the question back.
“What do you mean? Do you know?” the other side asked.
“The Second Division has already switched sides and joined us, forming an alliance. They are currently besieging the Seventh and Eighth Halls!” Ivy Chandler smiled.
“The First Division’s people knew about this a long time ago. Their influence spans the entire Place of Darkness, and nothing escapes their watchful eyes. They just didn’t inform you.” She added before the other could respond.
“And, our people attacking you, they were also aware, but were hesitant to notify you, fearing you wouldn’t join forces with them.”
“Hmm?” The four individuals frowned slightly, all looking at Andrew.
“Lord Andrew, is what she’s saying true?” the Lord of the Third Hall asked.
“Don’t listen to her nonsense, we had no idea…” Andrew loudly responded.
“Casey, the minute is up, inform Vermilion Bird to take action!” Billy directed Casey.
“Yes, Commander!” Casey responded loudly, taking out his phone to make the call.
“Hold on!” The Lord of the Third Division shouted, then turned to Andrew. “You went too far. Knowing they were going to attack our people, you didn’t inform us in advance!”
He had a feeling that Ivy Chandler might not be lying. Before waiting for a response, he spoke again, “Commander Gardner, I can guarantee we won’t get involved in your matters with the First Division, but asking us to attack them is too much. You…”
“Casey, notify Vermilion Bird, wipe out everyone from the Third Hall!” Billy interrupted him.
“Alright!” Casey picked up his phone to make the call.
“You…” The Lord of the Third Division’s face turned ugly. After exhaling a long breath, he waved his hand, “All members of the Third Division, attack and kill everyone from the First Division!”
“You’re seeking death!” Jamie exclaimed, raising his hand for a powerful strike.
“Lord, be careful!” A man from the Third Division warned and tried to counter Jamie.
Bang!
With several realms of difference in their cultivation levels, the man was sent flying by Jamie’s strike, crashing to the ground, motionless.
“Lord Jamie, you went too far…” The Lord of the Fourth Division furrowed his brow.
“If you’re looking for death together, I’ll fulfill your wish!” Jamie angrily retorted. “Take action, kill them all!”
“Understood!” Seven or eight men behind him responded simultaneously, launching attacks against the members of the various divisions.
These individuals who followed him to the Place of Darkness were all highly skilled. The weakest among them possessed the strength of the later stages of the War Emperor realm, while the two with the highest cultivation were Tier-one War God-Emperors.
“Your opponents are us, don’t get the wrong idea!” Casey and Azure Dragon swiftly moved forward.
“Billy, take care of yourself!” Ivy Chandler looked at Billy, then gripped her ancient sword and followed suit.
The entire courtyard descended into chaos. The members from the Fourth to the Sixth Halls were bewildered, not knowing who to target.
“What are you standing around for? Attack!” The Lord of the Fourth Division roared, launching an attack at a lieutenant from the First Division.
“Understood!” The group responded. Finally having a target, they charged towards the target.
“The Qilin chosen by Glavale effortlessly takes control of the situation. Impressed!” Jamie’s eyes turned cold as he spoke to Billy.
“But, if you think you can turn the tide like this, you’re too naive.”
“From the beginning, I’ve been the one leading. Where’s the need for a turnaround?” Billy smiled faintly.
“Is that so? Since you’re so confident, let me see what you’re made of!” Jamie’s tone grew heavy. “If you have the courage, follow me!”
With that, he turned and walked towards an empty space on the west side of the mansion, with the two elders from North Strong Country following closely.
These two were the highest-level cultivators among those who came with Jamie, one having strength comparable to Death and the other, like Jamie, being a Tier-two War God-Emperor.
“Why not!” Billy chuckled and followed suit.
After a night of rest, Billy’s strength had fully recovered. Even with Death activating a forbidden technique, the result was evident.
In the first round, Jamie and another elder were heavily wounded by Billy’s Dragon Mastery Fist, leaving them with less than twenty percent of their original combat strength. They lay on the ground like lifeless dogs, their faces filled with profound horror, never expecting Billy’s strength to be so formidable.
Before setting out today, they had roughly understood the combat strength of Death whom Billy had slain, knowing it was at the pinnacle of the War God-Emperor realm. So, from the beginning, they didn’t underestimate Billy. However, they believed that the combined strength of the three of them would surpass that of Death, giving them the confidence to challenge.
What they didn’t know was that, even though Death’s strength had approached the perfection realm when he used a forbidden technique, Billy still managed to sever one of Death’s arms. If they had known this beforehand, they might have reconsidered daring to provoke him in such a manner!
The battle lasted only ten minutes. The elderly man who was a Tier-two War God-Emperor was directly split in half by Billy, with his Bloodshadow Blade Technique. The man’s flesh and blood splattered.
Of course, Billy also sustained some injuries, but they were much better than yesterday.
“How about it? Now you know how much I weigh?”
After dealing with the old man, Billy took a moment to catch his breath before walking casually to Jamie.
While talking, he flicked his wrist, and three silver needles pierced Jamie’s body. This was to prevent him from committing suicide.
“You…” Jamie spat out blood again, finding it difficult to speak.
“Answer a few questions for me, and I’ll make it quick.” Billy interrupted him.
“Humph! Do you think you can force me to talk?” Jamie sneered.
“Let’s try it then!” Billy shrugged.
The result was obvious. Given Jamie’s current state, he couldn’t withstand the torment of blood surging and bone-chewing ants. In less than a minute, he begged for mercy. Afterward, he spilled all the information Billy wanted to know. Although he didn’t have complete knowledge, for Billy, gaining this information was already a significant unexpected gain.
“Alright, that’s enough. I’ll give you a quick death,” Billy said, looking at Jamie.
“I-I am the Deputy Commander of Northfortia’s War Department. If you dare… to kill me, Northfortia will definitely… not let you go…”
Even with only a breath left, Jamie still had a desire to survive.
