“Now is not the time to completely turn against the super sects; we need to take it easy with the Yin Yang Shrine Sect issue.” After a while, Billy turned to Azure Fang and said, “After the country’s fortune arrives, I’ll accompany you to Yin Yang Shrine Sect!”
Knowing Azure Fang’s character, now that he knew the mastermind was in Yin Yang Shrine Sect, he wouldn’t let it go and might seek revenge any day. However, the overall strength of Yin Yang Shrine Sect far surpassed that of Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect. Even if Azure Fang went alone or with his companions, it would likely result in unnecessary sacrifices without achieving much. In the current situation, to overthrow Yin Yang Shrine Sect, they would need the power of Ether Mountain. Otherwise, it would be challenging to accomplish. However, now was not the time for that since the next month or so would be focused on the national affairs, and other matters needed to be put on hold.
“Boss, rest assured, I won’t act recklessly!” Azure Fang understood Billy’s concern. “I’ve waited for over a decade; waiting a few more months won’t make a difference!”
Billy nodded slightly.
“Boss!” Frostblade walked over shortly, exchanged greetings with Billy, then walked to Azure Fang’s side. Afterward, without saying a word, she reached out and tightly held Azure Fang’s hand, quietly accompanying him while gazing at the stars.
After a few minutes, Casey and Adam and others returned one after another.
All the inner and outer disciples of Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect had already been lying on the ground. One-third of them were executed on the spot, and the rest had their cultivation abolished, becoming useless. Notably, shortly after the official battle, the Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect’s young lady, Rita Wolfe, escorted by thirty or forty inner disciples, attempted to escape from the back mountain.
However, when a group of Army of Bloodshadow under Vermilion Bird discovered them, he led two hundred Bloodshadow guards to kill them all. Thus, one of the superpowers in the Ancient Martial Art World, Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect, officially exited the stage of Glavale.
“Uncle Fabian, thank you for your hard work!” Billy then looked at Fabian Mills with a faint smile.
Then, he introduced Casey and others to Fabian Mills one by one.
“Young Master, I heard that Cerulean Abyss Institute has been quite lively recently. How do you plan to deal with them?” Fabian Mills greeted everyone and then asked Billy.
“Cerulean Abyss Institute has become a filthy place. If we let them continue like this, chaos will erupt sooner or later. I plan to visit Cerulean Abyss Institute in a few days,” Billy replied after some thought. “I’ve been meaning to get over there in a few more days.”
“That shouldn’t wait for a few more days. If you’re going to act, strike while the iron is hot!” Fabian Mills replied. “The events at Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect will spread soon. By then, Cerulean Abyss Institute will likely be prepared. Among the superpowers in the Ancient Martial Art World, if Cerulean Abyss Institute predicts that you might take action against them, they may seek help from other sects. If that happens, erasing Cerulean Abyss Institute will become much more troublesome.”
“Understood!” Billy nodded slightly.
“Young Master, you don’t need to worry about Cerulean Abyss Institute. Adam and I will handle it!” Fabian Mills continued, “I’m planning to settle some old accounts with their dean.”
“That’s fine!” Billy smiled again.
Since Fabian Mills was taking care of it, there was no suspense in this matter. The overall strength of Cerulean Abyss Institute was slightly inferior to that of Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect. With Fabian Mills and Adam Greenleaf’s strength, wiping out Cerulean Abyss Institute was a foregone conclusion. Although Billy wasn’t quite sure about Fabian Mills’s specific strength, he estimated that it was at least above the Fourth-rank of the Sovereign Realm. With this level of combat power, he could easily crush a group of warriors below the second-rank of the Sovereign Realm with just a wave of his hand.
According to the information Billy had obtained, even the two old things in Cerulean Abyss Institute, who hadn’t appeared for a hundred years, had only reached the Third-rank. Therefore, for Fabian Mills, there was no pressure!
“It’s just a small matter!” Fabian Mills responded lightly, “In the past year, there have been quite a few small figures in the Ancient Martial Art World who have been clamoring to challenge Ether Mountain. It’s a good opportunity to teach them a lesson!”
“Dean Mills, are Harleen and Felicia doing well in Ether Mountain?” Night Orchid asked Fabian Mills at this time.
“Oh, I almost forgot about this!” Fabian Mills seemed to have suddenly remembered this matter, then looked at Billy.
“Young Master, let me convey a message from the old master. Don’t worry about the two ladies, they are doing well. In a few days, they may be asked to return to Ozin.”
“Okay!” Billy nodded with a smile.
“Young Master, I just learned from Dean Mills that the old master took the two ladies to the Floating Cloud Peak a few days ago!” Adam added.
“Oh?” Hearing the three words ‘Floating Cloud Peak,’ Billy’s eyebrows raised slightly.
In the Ether Mountain area, the most well-known locations for outsiders were the Outer Court, Inner Court, Snowy Prison, and the Peak of Ether Mountain. Among them, Snowy Prison was a name that struck fear unto the hearts of many martial artists in Glavale; the Peak of Ether Mountain was considered the martial arts sanctuary in the hearts of them. Most martial artists dreamt of becoming a member of Ether Mountain just to have the chance to witness the majesty of the Peak of Ether Mountain within their lifetime.
In addition to these four places, there was another unique place in the Ether Mountain area, Floating Cloud Peak.
Floating Cloud Peak was located on the northeast side of the Ether Mountain range, with an altitude similar to that of the Peak of Ether Mountain. Floating Cloud Peak was shrouded in clouds and mist throughout the year, appearing elusive and ethereal, hence its name. The reason why Floating Cloud Peak was considered unique was that it was a forbidden area in the Ether Mountain area. Everyone in the Ether Mountain lineage knew that without an invitation from Floating Cloud Peak, anyone, including those from the Peak of Ether Mountain, was not allowed to enter the ten-kilometer radius around Floating Cloud Peak. Violators will be killed.
This prohibition was not to be taken lightly. In the history of Ether Mountain, there had been many who didn’t believe in this prohibition and entered the forbidden area without permission. Without exception, they all perished, including several Sovereign Realm powerhouses. Even the old master needed to inform the people over there in advance if he wanted to go to Floating Cloud Peak; otherwise, although it wouldn’t cost him his life, he would definitely be barred.
However, there was one person who was an exception, and that was Billy. He was the only one who could freely enter Floating Cloud Peak, and the treatment he gained was even higher than that of the old master.
“Boss, what is Floating Cloud Peak? Does it have any special features?” Judge looked at Billy and asked.
“This is a long story. I’ll tell you in detail next time when we have time,” Billy replied briefly and then smiled at Fabian Mills, saying, “How did the old master think of taking Harleen and Felicia to Floating Cloud Peak?”
“I’m not very clear about the specifics!” Fabian Mills shook his head and replied, “But I heard that it seems someone from Floating Cloud Peak has seen the potential of the two ladies.”
