“What a joke!” Sterling Long sneered. “Don’t just talk about Glavale’s territory, even anywhere on this planet, as long as I want to go, there is nowhere I wouldn’t dare to go!” After saying that, he looked at Billy again. “Enough with the useless talk, I’ll give you a chance. Destroy your cultivation yourself, and I’ll spare your life. Let me advise you, it’s best not to harbor any illusions. Your cultivation is at the fifth rank of the Sovereign realm, three ranks lower than mine! If I were to make a move, even if you’re a monster, there would be no hope for you to survive!”
“You’re just an old fool!” Stout retorted, “I think the one who should destroy their cultivation is you!”
However, the old man didn’t even look at him. He kept his gaze fixed on Billy. “From the looks of it, you don’t plan on making a move yourself?”
“If that’s the case, then I’ll finish you off!”
Immediately, a majestic aura burst forth from him, enveloping the entire courtyard in a terrifying pressure. All the SHADOW brothers in the courtyard instantly felt suffocated, their faces filled with shock. Just from his aura alone, it was already so powerful, truly formidable.
“Harleen, you and Ivy should retreat a kilometer away!” Billy took a deep breath and instructed.
“Boss, I’ll stay with you!” Casey and Azure Fang both spoke up at the same time.
“Don’t make reckless sacrifices, you’re no match for him.” Billy said. Even he himself could only barely hold his ground with the assistance of his spiritual power attacks against an Eighth-rank Sovereign.
Casey and Azure Fang wouldn’t be able to contend, they wouldn’t even be able to withstand a single move.
“Billy, what about you…” Harleen spoke with a worried expression.
“Don’t worry about me. Even if I can’t defeat him, I can still retreat safely.” Billy smiled and reassured her with a calm look.
“Billy, Minister Woolery should be on his way here. Just hold on for a few more minutes.” Ivy’s face also showed concern.
“Alright!” Billy responded with a smile. Soon after, Harleen and the others retreated a kilometer away from the courtyard.
“Come on, let’s see if you can handle my attack!” Sterling Long looked at Billy and said in a deep voice. His aura surged once again, and then he raised his hand to attack Billy.
“An old immortal who’s lived for nearly three hundred years, coming to bully a young whippersnapper less than thirty, you really have some nerve!”
Just then, a woman’s voice rang out over the courtyard, as melodious as a valley’s yellow oriole, exceptionally beautiful. In the next moment, a graceful figure appeared on the square like a fairy descending from the sky. Including Billy, no one could see where she came from. The woman appeared to be in her late twenties, with delicate features, fair skin, and an elegant figure. She wore a green dress, exuding an otherworldly aura from head to toe, like a fairy descending to the mortal realm. Overall, her appearance was no less stunning than Harleen and Ivy at the scene. And from a man’s perspective, she had the mature and charming aura of a lady.
“Opal?!” Upon seeing the person clearly, including Harleen and the two sisters, everyone from Ether Mountain exclaimed in surprise.
“Opal, how did you come to the capital?” Billy’s face also showed a look of surprise, and as he spoke, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
“Even after all this time, you’re still only at the fifth rank. Too slow!” A woman named Opal Fraley looked at Billy and said disdainfully, with an air of superiority. Billy was choked by his own saliva, his mouth twitched slightly. He wanted to argue back a few words, but when he thought of Opal Fraley’s terrifying strength, he could only accept it with humility.
“Opal!” Harleen and the others hurriedly walked over, and the sons of Ether Mountain all bowed to Opal Fraley.
“Hmm!” Opal Fraley nodded slightly at everyone. “Let’s talk later!” As soon as her voice fell, she turned her head and looked at Sterling Long indifferently. “You are not my opponent. Take your own life, and I’ll let you keep your corpse intact!”
Upon hearing her words, Stout and Judge, who didn’t know Opal Fraley, were all choked by their saliva, their faces showing a mix of shock and amusement.
“Hahaha…” The old man was so angry at Opal Fraley’s words that he burst out laughing. “Where did this little girl come from? Go away and stop bothering us!”
“I came here today only for the kid surnamed Gardner. I don’t want to resort to violence, but don’t blame me for bullying the weak!”
Upon hearing his words, Bob and Ian were also choked by their saliva this time. Both of them silently mourned for the old man in their hearts. Daring to speak in such a tone to Opal Fraley, his life was probably over.
“Do you really not want to take your own life?” Opal Fraley said calmly. “Well then, I’ll give you one chance!”
“Use your strongest trump card, and after one round, if you can still catch your breath, then your life will be spared!”
“You really don’t value your own life, little girl?” The old man glanced at Opal Fraley.
“Let’s begin!” Opal Fraley spoke again. “Remember, you only have one chance, so it’s better to play your trump card directly!”
“Since you want to die so badly, let me grant your wish!” The old man was infuriated by Opal Fraley’s attitude. As soon as he finished speaking, his aura instantly surged, revealing his eighth-ranked Sovereign cultivation. It seemed like he was really ready to use his strongest trick. To deal with such a delicate and beautiful woman, he could endure it.
“Genesis Sect has been having it too easy these years. A little eighth-ranked Sovereign dares to come out and show off!” Opal Fraley continued.
“I really don’t know how Hadwin Long has been teaching you all. Since he doesn’t care, I’ll take care of it for him!”
“Hmm?” Hearing her words, the old man’s pupils slightly contracted. After a brief pause, he looked at Opal and asked, “Little girl, who are you? How do you know the name of our Sect Master?”
As the number one super sect, the name of the Sect Master of Genesis Sect was not a secret, but not everyone knew it. Outside world, people usually referred to him as Sect Master Long, and very few knew his full name. What was even more important was that Opal Fraley not only knew that he was an eighth-ranked Sovereign, but he couldn’t discern any fear from Opal Fraley’s eyes. He had a vague feeling of unease, and his right eyelid twitched inexplicably several times.
“Hey, old man, let me share some information with you!” Bob smacked his lips. “Her name is Opal Fraley, from Floating Cloud Peak of Ether Mountain!”
“Mind your own business!” Opal glared at him.
“Uh… Pretend I didn’t say anything!” Bob shivered and quickly shut his mouth. He was truly afraid of Opal. Back at Ether Mountain, he had been tormented by her countless times.
“Huh?!” Upon hearing this, the old man’s pupils instantly contracted to the size of wheat grains, and he couldn’t help but shudder. Then, after taking a deep breath, he struggled to speak to Opal.
“Are you… are you the top disciple of Floating Cloud Peak’s Peak Master, also known as the Ethereal Fairy?”
