“Billy, don’t overthink it,” Harleen spoke softly again. “If your parents and grandfather are still alive, we will eventually meet them. And after the World Martial Arts Championship, we are planning to visit the Polar Domain, right? We will find out if your parents are there or not!”
“Hmm!” Billy nodded again.
That afternoon, after bidding farewell to Simon Stuart and Warren, Billy and the others boarded the helicopter back to the capital city. At the same time, a piece of news quickly spread from Maplewood City and reached every corner of the country within half a day.
Lord Dragon, Glavale, is actually the eldest son of the Stuart family, formerly known as Casper Stuart.
This news was deliberately released by Billy through Simon Stuart. On one hand, Kit Long from the Genesis Sect died at the hands of the Stuart family. If Billy didn’t reveal his identity, the Stuart family might have been wiped out by the Genesis Sect. Now that Genesis Sect knew Billy was from the Stuart family, they would have to think twice before seeking revenge. On the other hand, Billy released this news in hopes that his parents and grandfather would hear about it and come to find him.
At 4 p. m., the four of them returned to the capital city. Originally, Billy planned to fly back to Ozin with Harleen directly after arriving in the capital. But Harleen said she had plans to have dinner with Ivy that evening, so they had to postpone their return until the next day.
That night, Harleen went to have dinner with Ivy alone, and Billy wanted to accompany them, but Harleen didn’t allow it. She said it would be uncomfortable for her and Ivy to have dinner together with a man like him watching. So Billy had no choice but to give up. He couldn’t fathom what Harleen and Ivy would talk about during their dinner. Unable to understand, he simply stopped thinking about it. After dinner at SHADOW, he went to the pavilion to meditate and cultivate. Since awakening his bloodline with the blessing of the national fortune, Billy felt that his cultivation speed had increased several times compared to before.
That day on Kun Lun Mountains, after awakening his bloodline, Billy directly broke through from the second-rank Sovereign to the fourth-rank Sovereign. At the time, he deliberately held back a bit because he was concerned that breaking through too quickly might not be a good thing. Otherwise, he could have reached the fifth-rank realm that same day. And from the last breakthrough until today, which was less than a month, he vaguely felt that if he didn’t hold back, he could probably catch a glimpse of the sixth-rank realm.
This is the benefit of awakening one’s bloodline. Martial arts talent grows by leaps and bounds, and cultivation progresses far beyond that of ordinary people. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that since he broke through to the Sovereign Realm, his cultivation of Heart Sutra of the Azure Void had also reached the later stage of perfection. On this basis, his spiritual power has reached a new level.
After sitting cross-legged for about half an hour, Billy’s eyes suddenly opened, a faint smile curved at the corner of his mouth as he murmured to himself.
“Consider yourself unlucky, I’ll use you to test the effectiveness of my spiritual attack!”
Then, he narrowed his eyes, and an invisible ripple surged at lightning speed towards the wild cat that had just leaped down from the pavilion roof. The wild cat, affected by the invisible ripple, fell from mid-air as if it had been acupunctured, twitched a few times, and then became still.
“Not bad!” Billy faintly smiled.
The terror of spiritual attacks lay in the fact that they targeted the opponent’s brain. They could disrupt the nervous system at the very least and directly kill at worst. Imagine two late-stage Sovereign Realm experts engaged in a fierce battle, evenly matched and unable to determine a winner. Then, suddenly, one of them unleashed a spiritual power attack far surpassing the other. The result was obvious. Even if it didn’t directly kill the opponent, it was enough to disrupt their nervous system. In a duel between masters, often a moment of distraction could cost a life, even if it was just a one or two-second daze, it was enough to be fatal. This was why, when reaching the late stage of the Sovereign Realm, most experts tried their best to enhance their spiritual power.
Around nine o’clock at night, the phone beside him rang.
When Billy picked it up and saw Brigham Bush’s number, his pupils slightly contracted. Tonight, he didn’t accompany Harleen for dinner, but instead arranged for two SHADOW brothers to secretly follow her. Although Harleen was now a Third-rank Sovereign Realm powerhouse, he still didn’t feel at ease letting her be alone outside so late at night. So he had the SHADOW brothers follow her, ready to report any situation.
Now, receiving a call from Brigham Bush, it was very likely that something had happened on Harleen’s side.
“Brigham, what’s the matter?” Billy asked as he answered the call.
“Commander, there’s a bit of trouble with the Lady and Madam Chandler.” Brigham Bush said.
“Be more specific!” Billy slightly furrowed his brows, as expected.
“After the Lady and Madam Chandler had just paid the bill and were about to leave, a few ignorant martial artists from the ancient martial arts world came over and insisted that the Lady and Madam Chandler have a few drinks with them,” Brigham continued. “Later, a conflict broke out, and those martial artists were no match for the Lady and Madam Chandler. They were directly blasted out.”
“And then?”
“Perhaps when the Lady was dealing with those martial artists, she activated some kind of martial technique or something,” Brigham paused for a moment before continuing. “Afterwards, an old man and a young man came out from the crowd, wanting to force the Lady to reveal who her master is.”
“The Lady refused to tell them, and now they are in a standoff. Judging from the feeling I get from them, their skills may not be inferior to the Lady’s.”
“Send me the address!” After furrowing his brows again, Billy hung up the phone and then got up.
About ten seconds later, the address came through.
At the same time Brigham was calling Billy, Harleen and Ivy stood in the middle of the courtyard of a restaurant about twenty minutes’ drive from the SHADOW base, facing an old man and a young man. Many diners stood far aside, watching the spectacle.
“Who exactly are you?” Ivy asked.
“It doesn’t matter who we are!” the old man replied indifferently, then pointed at Harleen and said, “What matters is if this young lady doesn’t reveal who her mentor is, it will be difficult for her to leave here tonight.”
“You dare to be so audacious!” Ivy’s eyebrows furrowed tightly. “Do you even know who she is?”
As she spoke, she had already probed the two men’s martial auras. The young man’s cultivation was at the Fourth-rank Sovereign Realm. As for the old man, she couldn’t sense any fluctuations in his aura, clearly indicating that he was far above her.
“This question is equally unimportant!” The young man chuckled lightly. His gaze wandered over Harleen and Ivy for a while, a hint of intense admiration flashing in his eyes.
