“Are you sure my boss didn’t take over someone else’s bloodline?” Night Orchid looked at the other person and asked.
“Taking over someone else’s bloodline involves high degree of difficulty, and the chances of success are very slim!” Dawn Ravenwood continued to respond. “Even if someone powerful manages to take over the first-level bloodline of the Ravenwood clan, they still wouldn’t be able to possess the Five-Toed Divine Dragon Mark. At best, they could only reach the second level of purity.”
“So, what you’re saying is that the first-level bloodline cannot be obtained through taking over, but rather through innate inheritance?” Bob asked.
“Exactly!” Dawn Ravenwood nodded in response.
“That makes sense!” Everyone finally understood.
“But even so, why do you call boss ‘Young Clan Leader’?” Casey asked. “Does having the first-level bloodline automatically make someone the clan leader?”
“As I mentioned earlier, those who possess the first-level bloodline are extremely rare geniuses that appear once in a hundred years in the entire Ravenwood clan!” Dawn Ravenwood took a deep breath before continuing. “At present, among the tens of thousands of people in the Ravenwood clan, there are only a few who possess the first-level bloodline, apart from the current clan leader. And any descendant with this bloodline is destined to be a candidate for the clan leader from birth. Therefore, we habitually refer to them as the Young Clan Leader.”
“Are you guys just trying to flatter him in advance?” Bob blurted.
“You jest, sir.” Dawn Ravenwood felt a bit embarrassed. After a pause, he looked at Billy and said, “Young Clan Leader, since you possess the first-level bloodline of the Ravenwood clan, why did you end up being exiled?”
“Who are you? Why did you come here today?” Billy didn’t respond to his question.
“Young Master, I…” Dawn began to explain.
“I am not your young master, call me Commander Gardner or Lord Dragon!” Billy interrupted him.
“Y-Yes! I am Dawn Ravenwood, a member of the Ravenwood clan’s collateral branch. I am currently in charge of managing the clan.” Dawn continued, “I came out for some business these past few days and heard that there was a gathering of martial artists in City L, so I came to take a look. I didn’t expect to encounter… you, Lord Dragon here.”
After finishing his words, he glanced around and continued, “Lord Dragon, it seems like you’re having some trouble. Do you need my help?”
“Not at the moment!” Billy waved his hand and ignored him, then walked towards the people of Wind & Cloud Holy Sect. After a while, he stood in front of them and asked, “So, have you made your choice? Will you send people to the Polar Domain or annihilate the sect?”
“Lord Dragon, our elders, including the sect master, have all been killed. There’s no one left in the sect…” The Left Protector took a deep breath and spoke.
“Are you saying you choose to annihilate the sect?” Billy interrupted him directly. Then, he turned to Dawn and said in a heavy tone, “You go to their place and kill everyone, leave no one alive!”
“Understood!” Dawn responded loudly, a powerful aura emanating from him as if he could fly in the air.
“No, please!” The Left Protector shouted, “We… we are willing to send people to the Polar Domain, Lord Dragon, have mercy, please!” He was well aware that with Dawn Ravenwood’s strength, even the last elder of the sect wouldn’t be a match. He remembered clearly that Elder Waldo, despite being a Half-Step Saint, had failed in forcefully breaking through a barrier in his cultivation a year ago and suffered backlash. Now, he could only barely activate his Ninth-rank Sovereign battle strength.
“Stout, give him the pills!” Billy turned his head and looked at Stout.
“Okay!” Stout ran over happily. Then he took out thirty or so poisonous pills and handed them to the Left Protector. “Give each of them one, make sure they don’t fight over them!”
Bob and Ian knew what he was doing.
Three minutes later, all the people above the Sovereign Realm in Wind & Cloud Holy Sect had taken the poison pills.
“Take the remaining pills back to the sect. Each person above the Sovereign Realm should have one. I want to see them in the capital within three days!” Billy said coldly.
“Okay… okay…” The Left Protector nodded in response.
Then, the disciples of Wind & Cloud Holy Sect carried the bodies of their elders and sect master and left dejectedly. Just like Yin Yang Shrine Sect, after today, Wind & Cloud Holy Sect ceased to exist!
“Now it’s your turn!” After the people of Wind & Cloud Holy Sect left, Billy turned his attention to the people of Genesis Sect.
“Lord Dragon, don’t go too far with everything. You’ve already taken down Yin Yang Shrine Sect and Wind & Cloud Holy Sect…” Lim Long took a deep breath before responding.
“If you don’t disclose who ordered the assassination of Donald, everyone present from Genesis Sect will die!” Billy interrupted him directly.
“Lord Dragon, don’t think that being from the Ravenwood family makes you invincible. Genesis Sect is not afraid of you. If you dare to kill us, no one will be able to protect you!” Clifford Long responded loudly.
“Is that so?” Billy spoke calmly, then looked at Dawn Ravenwood. “Take action, kill everyone from Genesis Sect!”
A chorus of astonishment filled the surroundings.
This was Lord Dragon, his courage knew no bounds. Genesis Sect was the top-ranked superpower, far beyond what Wind & Cloud Holy Sect could compare to, yet he dared to say so.
“Young Master!” Dawn quickly walked up to Billy, toning down his aura and spoke softly. “Genesis Sect has the backing of the Long clan. If we kill their young sect master, won’t it cause some trouble?”
Billy narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this.
The Long clan, just like the Ravenwoods and Meskills, was one of the four oldest and most prestigious clans in Glavale. Billy had speculated about this before, that Genesis Sect might be connected to the Long clan, and today it seemed to be confirmed.
“Kill them!” Billy paused briefly and continued speaking.
“Huh?” Dawn was stunned for a moment. He was starting to regret recognizing Billy as the Young Clan Leader who was too fierce.
“What’s wrong? Afraid?” Billy glanced at him. “Then I’ll do it myself!” As he spoke, his aura rapidly rose, gripping the Bloodshadow Fury Blade in his hand.
“Young Master, let me do it!” Dawn took a deep breath and responded. As the overall manager of the Ravenwood family, he knew the status of those with the highest bloodline level in the family. Who knew, someday Billy might become the Clan Leader of this family. If he refused to carry out Billy’s orders today, it might become troublesome when settling scores in the future.
After a brief pause, Dawn looked at the group from Genesis Sect and said, “I advise you to take matters into your own hands. Perhaps you can leave as whole corpses.”
“Lord Dragon,” At this moment, Abby Meskill walked out.
“For this matter, if no one from the Meskill family was involved, it’s best not to meddle!” Billy coldly interrupted her. “Or this isn’t gonna end the way you want it to.”
