Leading the group was a middle-aged Western man in his forties or fifties, with a sturdy build and formidable strength, at the cultivation level of a Fifth-rank Sovereign. The lobby manager’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the man in the lead. “Why is he here?”
“You know him? Who’s he?” Casey asked.
“He is one of the leaders of Last Blood Sect, the one I mentioned earlier!” the lobby manager quickly walked up to them and said.
“Lord Adler, what’s going on?”
Before the words could fully leave his mouth, the man in the lead struck out with a palm, sending the lobby manager flying backwards, crashing to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“Lord… Alder, what happened?” The lobby manager struggled to get up from the ground.
“You’re mostly accommodating Eastern guests in your hotel, right? Gather everyone in the lobby immediately!” the man named Lord Alder spoke in a deep voice.
“Lord Alder, the people staying here are all our hotel’s guests. It’s not appropriate for you to do this…” the lobby manager tried to reason.
“You know nothing and talk too much!” Another powerful martial artist from Last Blood Sect stepped forward. With a flick of his wrist, he was about to slash the lobby manager with his blade. Clearly, they had no intention of sparing the lobby manager’s life.
“Have mercy…” The lobby manager cried out, intending to dodge, but it was already too late.
Just as the blade was about to strike, Azure Dragon raised his hand and effortlessly dissipated the attack.
The man took a couple of steps back, surprise crossing his face.
“Th-Thank you for saving my life!” The lobby manager looked gratefully at Azure Dragon.
“You’re quite interesting, daring to meddle in our affairs. Where are you all from?” Lord Alder swept a glance at Billy and the others. “Which country are you from?”
“Did you capture the people from Glavale a couple of days ago?” Billy asked calmly.
“So, you’re from Glavale. Perfect!” Lord Alder sneered and then waved his hand. “Take them all away!”
The group behind him immediately moved, surrounding Billy and the others in the middle.
“I’ll ask one last time!” Billy looked at Lord Alder and said calmly. “Did you capture them?”
“Heh, you must be their leader, right?” Lord Alder ignored Billy’s question.
“Casey, finish him!” Billy’s tone became serious.
Casey wasted no time, flipping his wrist, and his battle blade unleashed a cold arc of killing intent, aiming straight for Lord Alder.
“You’re courting death!” Alder’s brow furrowed, and his aura instantly surged. He raised his hand and blocked the attack with a palm strike.
However, since Casey had decided to take his life, he wouldn’t give him any chance. After tearing through his defense, the blade’s edge passed right through his chest. Alder opened his mouth, but he couldn’t utter a single word. His body fell apart in two, blood and flesh splattering on the ground.
The whole hall fell into silence, with a pin drop heard. The lobby manager took a deep breath, his face filled with astonishment. The one who got killed was none other than one of the leaders of the most influential organization in the city, Last Blood Sect.
“Lord Alder!”
At the next moment, the others shouted simultaneously.
“You killed him?! I will tear you into pieces!” The man who spoke before yelled angrily. “Everyone attack, kill them!”
“Kill!” The people surrounding them shouted in unison and launched their attacks.
“Boss, should we kill them?” Azure Dragon asked.
“Spare his life, but kill everyone else!” Billy raised his hand and pointed at the man giving orders, calmly giving his command.
“Alright!” Azure Dragon and the others replied in unison and rushed forward.
In the next moment, the entire hall descended into a fierce battle. They called it a battle, but it was actually a one-sided slaughter. Although there were some martial artists in their group who had reached the Sovereign Realm, they were all at the early stages and no match for Azure Dragon and the others. Without exception, they were all killed one by one. In less than two minutes, except for the man designated by Billy, everyone else had met their demise. There was no mercy for such scum; they killed as many as they could.
The remaining man didn’t fare any better. One of his arms had already been severed by Casey, blood spurting out as he lay on the ground, howling in pain.
Witnessing this scene, both the hotel staff and the onlookers gasped in unison, their faces filled with shock. They couldn’t believe forty to fifty people were all killed within such a short time.
This was too brutal!
“You… you dare to kill the people of Last Blood Sect, you… you’re dead.” The man slightly recovered and gritted his teeth. As he spoke, his eyes showed a strong sense of panic. He had always considered himself a ruthless person, even in this chaotic city, he could be considered a top figure. But now, he realized what it meant to be ruthless. Compared to Billy and his people, he felt like an ignorant frog at the bottom of a well.
“Answer me!” Billy walked up to the man and spoke calmly.
“Did you capture our people from Glavale, on behalf of Last Blood Sect?”
“… If you have the guts, kill me. If you want to ask questions from my mouth…” The man spat out a mouthful of blood and spoke with difficulty.
Before he finished speaking, Azure Fang’s wrist turned continuously, leaving dozens of deep wounds on him, turning him into a bloody mess.
“Ah…” The man screamed in agony, rolling on the ground.
“Not talking?” Azure Fang raised his curved blade, ready to strike again.
“I’ll talk… I’ll talk.” The man’s soul trembled. After taking a moment to catch his breath, he spoke with difficulty, “Our deputy sect leader did indeed lead a team to capture your people from Glavale…”
“Where did you take them?” asked Azure Fang.
“They were taken to our headquarters…”
“Why did you capture them?” asked Casey.
“I… I don’t know.”
“Don’t play tough!” Azure Fang said, and a blade flashed down.
“Ah…” The man screamed again, “I really don’t know… It was personally ordered by the sect leader to the deputy sect leader…”
“How are our people doing now?” Casey asked.
“Some of them were killed that morning, and the rest were taken to our dungeon, so I don’t know their current situation.”
“You’re really asking for death!” Casey frowned, raised his hand, and struck down with his blade. Immediately, a head rolled away, blood splattering everywhere.
“Do you have a map of the city?” Billy walked up to the lobby manager.
“Yes…” The lobby manager paused for a moment and walked to the front desk to retrieve a map.
“Where is Last Blood Sect?” Billy continued to ask.
“It’s here!” The lobby manager circled an area on the map with a pen. After a momentary pause, he continued, “Sir, you don’t plan on going to Last Blood Sect headquarters like this, do you?”
“Why not?” Judge replied.
“The leader of Last Blood Sect is unfathomably powerful, at least a Ninth-rank Sovereign. If you go like this…” The lobby manager kindly reminded.
“Thanks!” Billy took the map and added, “Remember to reserve a few dozen rooms for us. We’ll come back to stay tonight.” With those words, he walked quickly towards the door, followed closely by Casey and the others.
