Immediately, Billy spat out a mouthful of blood, then sat cross-legged after a quick breath, entering a brief recovery state by operating his cultivation method. Although he had already reached the War God-Emperor perfection realm, unleashing Five Elements Secret Art of this level was still somewhat strenuous for him.
Soon after, the entire scene fell into a deathly quiet, with only the sound of the mountain wind howling. Most people were dumbfounded, staring at the scene in front of them with an expression of incredulity.
“Damn it, you killed them, you deserve to die!” After a while, the white-haired elder who had spoken earlier roared, then quickly rushed towards Billy from the VIP area.
His heart was bleeding; these five dead people were among the top three in major sects. Yet, in just a few minutes, they were all gone. For the martial world, this was an enormous loss.
Nurturing a young person to the level of this in their thirties was a massive undertaking. It required a significant investment of manpower and resources, and there was no guarantee of success. If one person out of ten could reach the end, it was already remarkable.
The future of the major sects relied on these young talents to become the backbone. Not to mention losing five, even losing one was a painful blow.
“If you dare to make a move, you die!” Urban Woolery’s figure followed suit, and at the same time, a boundless terror swept out.
“Huh?” The white-haired elder, sensing the killing intent emanating from Urban Woolery, hesitated involuntarily.
“Willing to gamble and not afraid to lose. Is this the nature of people from the super sects?” Urban Woolery spoke in a deep voice. “If you can’t afford to lose, you shouldn’t have signed the life and death contract before!”
“Prime Minister, are you really going to protect him?” The old man spoke with a deep voice.
“Nonsense!” Urban Woolery sneered, “I’ve said it before, if you dare to make a move against Commander Gardner, you die!”
“You…” The old man frowned, and at the same time, a chill emanated from him.
“Elder Loxley!” At this moment, another white-haired elder walked over. “Elder Loxley, let’s stop here for today!”
“Elder Smart…” Elder Loxley frowned again.
“Elder Loxley, Prime Minister is right. If you can’t match Commander Gardner, don’t blame him. They were inferior in skills; blame it on yourself for not being able to protect them!” Elder Smart interrupted Elder Loxley again.
After saying that, he turned to Urban Woolery and said, “Congratulations, Prime Minister, for finding such a unicorn for Glavale. Glavale’s prosperity is just around the corner!”
“However, I have to remind you. Although Commander Gardner can kill a few peers, his cultivation is still a bit weak. He needs to take good care of himself!”
“If he unfortunately dies one day, it will be a great loss for Glavale!”
“Humph!” Urban Woolery snorted, “Go back and tell the people behind you. If they dare to secretly deal with Commander Gardner, be prepared to the destruction of your entire family!”
Indeed, as the Prime Minister, he was quick to threaten with wiping out nine generations, even stronger than the people around Billy.
“Prime Minister, don’t be nervous. I never said I would deal with Commander Gardner!” Elder Smart smiled faintly.
“I’m just a little worried. What if Commander Gardner has some mishap…”
“I’ll wipe out your nine generations too!” Urban Woolery interrupted him directly.
“Alright, I won’t waste words with you! Do any of you from the super sects want to die?”
“If not, then this Dragon and Phoenix Ranking competition ends here!”
“Prime Minister, take care of yourself!” Elder Smart looked at Urban Woolery with a smile that was not a smile, then turned and left.
Elder Loxley cast a cold glance at Billy on the stage, a look of coldness in his eyes, then took a deep breath and followed suit.
“Lord Hum, please continue!” Urban Woolery narrowed his eyes, looked at the backs of the two, and instructed Otis Hum.
“Alright!” Otis Hum nodded in response and stepped onto the platform again.
“Dear friends, now we enter the award ceremony. The top 100 who entered the list, please wait in your seats…”
At the same time, Billy took a brief rest and returned to the seating area.
“Boss, how are you? Are you okay?” Night Orchid asked with concern.
“I’m fine!” Billy smiled and shook his head.
“Billy, take this Supreme Essence Saint Pill.” Ivy took out a pill from her body and handed it to Billy.
“Thank you, Ivy!” Billy smiled again and took the pill.
Supreme Essence Saint Pill was remarkably effective in countering backlash injuries, so he didn’t refuse. While taking the pill, he activated his cultivation method again to heal.
“Boss, just received a call from our brothers below. People from Cerulean Abyss Institute are preparing to leave the ancient city. What should we do?” Soon after, Soul Chaser, who had just finished a call, looked at Billy and asked.
According to Billy’s instructions, for the past few days, he arranged a group of SHADOW brothers to keep an eye on the people from Cerulean Abyss Institute twenty-four hours a day.
“Boss, you rest here for a while. I’ll go with Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird to handle it!” Casey, after hearing Soul Chaser’s words, looked at Billy and said.
“Well, that’s fine!” Billy nodded slightly after a moment of thought.
Among the people sent by Cerulean Abyss Institute this time, besides the half-step Sovereign who ambushed him that night, the highest cultivation was an elder at the peak of the War God-Emperor realm. However, Casey had already stepped into the peak realm, and dealing with an opponent at this level was not a difficult task. So, he wasn’t too worried that something dangerous would happen when Casey and the others went over.
“Billy, I’ll go with Casey!” Ivy looked at Billy and said.
“Ivy, you stay here!” Billy shook his head. “If that’s the case, you stay here!”
“Alright then!” Ivy hesitated for a moment before responding.
“Boss, I’ll go with Casey!” Bob and Ian stood up at the same time.
“Okay!” Billy nodded in response, then looked at Casey and said, “Be careful. If you can’t win, don’t force it!”
“Understood!” Casey responded loudly.
After that, several people walked towards the exit.
About a quarter of an hour later, the scene entered the award ceremony. The prizes this time were cultivation resources contributed by the major super sects in exchange for the capital. They were all rare treasures that were rarely seen. The prizes for the top ten started with a hundred-year Ling Fruit, and the quantity varied depending on the ranking. As for the top three prizes, they were countless millennium Spiritual Fruits, something that countless martial artists dreamt of. For a martial artist with the cultivation of a War Emperor or below, as long as they consumed one, they could definitely break through in a short period! Even for someone with the cultivation of a War God-Emperor, as long as their accumulation was sufficient, consuming a millennium Spiritual Fruit could possibly push them through a cultivation level.
