“Commander!” After Billy and his group got off the helicopter, the hundred Blood Shadow soldiers all knelt down in unison, shouting in a loud and orderly manner.
“Get up and speak!” Billy raised his hand.
“Thank you, Commander!” a group leader responded once again and stood up.
“Report to the Commander, following your orders, the hundred thousand Bloodshadow guards are all in position. Please give further instructions, Commander!” One of the commanders looked at Billy and spoke loudly.
“Twenty thousand to stay in the town, the remaining eighty thousand go up the mountain!” Billy instructed.
“Yes, Commander!”
“Soul Chaser, where are the SHADOW brothers?” Billy then turned to Soul Chaser and asked.
“There are four waves in total, three inside the town, and the other one is guarding the entrance to the mountain.” Soul Chaser replied.
“Tell them to withdraw, and guard the exit of the town.” Billy continued with his instructions.
“Got it!” Soul Chaser nodded and took out his phone to make a call.
“Let’s go in!” Billy waved his hand and walked towards the entrance of the town, with Casey and others following closely.
The main base of Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect was located in a wide valley halfway up the mountains to the west of the small town. Since there was no wall, there was no concept of a courtyard. Only a magnificent archway was built at the entrance of the valley, with the four characters “Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect” carved on it. In the entire valley, there were thousands of buildings, large and small, scattered in an orderly manner, covering an area of nearly a million square meters.
Just as Billy and his group entered the town, the head of Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect received a message from the town. After hanging up the phone, his face changed abruptly. Without much thought, he hurriedly walked towards the main hall.
In the main hall at this moment, dozens of men and women were seated. These people were all core members of Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect, elder-level or above. Sitting in the first place was the current Sect Master of Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect, Theobold Fraley.
At this moment, his mood was obviously not good. His face was so dark that water could almost drip from it, and a chilling aura enveloped his whole body. His mood was understandable. In this recent event, all the people sent by Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect to the Ancient City, except for his daughter who escaped by chance, including his son, were all killed. This was the most unfavorable event for Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect in nearly a hundred years. As one of the super sects within Glavale, Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect had never been so provoked before. It seemed that they were not taken seriously at all!
Among the people present, except for Theobold Fraley, the others also had expressions full of anger. Each of them exuded a trace of chilling coldness.
“Sect Master, have we confirmed whether the one who did this is surnamed Gardner?” The second elder of Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect, Linden Sutton, looked at Theobold Fraley and asked.
“Do we need to ask! Besides him, who else has the guts to dare to kill people from our Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect!” Without waiting for Theobold Fraley to respond, another old man coldly retorted.
“Sect Master, I heard that the people from Cerulean Abyss Institute sent to the Ancient City were also all killed three days ago. Is that also his doing?” A middle-aged man in gray robes spoke up.
“Yes!” Theobold Fraley nodded, “Both incidents were arranged by him!”
“He’s really damned!” Linden Sutton angrily said, “Does he think that coming from the Ether Mountain makes us afraid to touch him?”
“Sect Master, in my opinion, we don’t need to bother going to the capital to demand justice. We can just send people to find him and kill him, ending it all!” Linden Sutton continued.
“Going to the capital, Milo Guzman and those old guys like Donald will definitely protect him. We won’t be able to act…” Linden Sutton said.
“Second Elder, this matter needs to be handled with caution!” The grand elder of the Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect spoke.
“He killed our people first. If we just kill him without saying anything, when the people from Ether Mountain find out, we’ll be hard-pressed to bear their wrath.”
“Humph! What are we afraid of!” Linden Sutton snorted.
“If Ether Mountain really wants to start a war over this, we’ll accompany them at any time!”
“At that time, call the people from Cerulean Abyss Institute as well. Even if Ether Mountain is strong, they will have to consider the consequences of starting a war with both of our major sects!”
“Second Elder, you are underestimating the strength of Ether Mountain.” The grand elder continued.
“Even though that old man from Ether Mountain is the only one left, you must not underestimate Ether Mountain.” Theobold Fraley frowned slightly before waving his hand.
“Don’t underestimate Ether Mountain, Second Elder!” Theobold Fraley furrowed his brows slightly before waving his hand. As the leader of Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect, he obviously knew more about Ether Mountain’s strength than Linden Sutton.
Regardless of the strength of the other members of the Ether Mountain, as long as that old man was still alive, the prestige of Ether Mountain would never disappear. No one knew the cultivation level of the old master on the Ether Mountain, because no one had seen him fight in decades. Of course, even if someone saw him fight, they would now be a pile of soil.
Theobold Fraley didn’t know the cultivation level of the other party, but he had self-awareness. Even if he used all his tricks, he probably couldn’t withstand the other party’s half attack. That person’s cultivation might be the current ceiling of Glavale martial arts. If such a powerful person wanted to attack Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect, they were enough to make the entire sect disappear singlehandedly.
“Sect Master…” Linden Sutton seemed unwilling to give up.
“Enough, this matter needs no further discussion!” Theobold Fraley frowned again. He would also love to kill Billy right away. His son was killed by Billy’s people, and his daughter was crippled. If he could, he would have torn Billy to pieces long ago. But he was very clear. This matter could not be dealt with so simply and crudely unless he wanted to jeopardize the entire sect.
“Sect Master, should we call the people from Cerulean Abyss Institute to go to the capital city with us?” Another middle-aged man spoke up.
“Yes!” Theobold Fraley nodded slightly. “I’ll call their dean later and ask for his opinion…”
Just at this moment, a rapid footstep sound echoed. Soon after, the steward hurriedly ran in.
“Sect Master, big trouble…” While running, the steward shouted.
“What kind of demeanor is this!” Theobold Fraley’s face sank. “What can happen to make you so flustered!”
“Sect Master, it’s really a big deal…” The steward slightly slowed down before continuing, “Commander Gardner and his men have surrounded the town below. He is now coming up the mountain…”
Hearing this, Theobold Fraley slapped the armrest of his chair. The entire chair exploded with a bang.
“Are you sure?!” He stood up, looked at the steward with an ice-cold tone, and asked.
“Sure!” The steward nodded vigorously. “The news was passed up from below, and it has been confirmed that it’s Commander Gardner!”
“Humph! He really has the audacity!” Linden Sutton roared angrily, his body exuding a strong killing intent.
