“Damn, it’s really happening!”
Upon hearing Billy’s words, Stout carefully sensed the aura of the two people opposite them and shouted.
Whoosh!
At that moment, the two of them looked at each other again and raised their hands, sending powerful palm strikes towards Billy.
“Do you want to die!” Ian and Azure Dragon coldly exclaimed.
Following that, the two of them brandished their blades, sending a cold light towards the two, instantly blocking their attacks.
“Hmm?” The two opposite them were surprised by Ian’s and Azure Dragon’s skills. After a moment of hesitation, they activated their full power and attacked again.
However, they never had a chance!
Casey’s eyes narrowed, and with a flip of his hands, two gusts of palm winds blew out, immediately sending the two flying out.
After flying for two to three hundred meters, they heavily fell to the ground, with at least a third of their bones broken, lying like dead dogs on the ice.
“Stout, make them talk, ask them what’s going on!” Casey instructed.
“Got it!” Stout responded and walked briskly towards the two men.
However, before he reached them, white foam poured from the mouths of the two men, and then they collapsed, devoid of breath.
“Damn, did they commit suicide?!” Stout uttered helplessly.
“Boss, what do we do?” Azure Dragon looked at Billy and asked.
“Just wait a moment!” Billy said and quickly dashed out.
“Casey, what’s Boss gonna do?” Azure Dragonasked.
“Break the formation!” Casey responded and added, “Most likely, something went wrong in the valley!”
Boom!
Soon, a loud rumble came from the front, followed by a flurry of snow and ice floating in the air.
In less than two minutes, all the ice and snow dissipated, revealing a fifty-meter-high archway a few hundred meters away.
Behind the archway, on the mountainside, appeared an ice-melted cave measuring twenty to thirty meters in all dimensions.
“Wow, it’s so magical!” Stout marveled.
Later, the group hurried over and looked up, seeing the Glavalean characters ‘Hundred Herbs Valley’ written on the archway written with vigorous brushstrokes.
“So this is the entrance to Hundred Herbs Valley!” Bob spoke.
After a brief pause, he continued, “These characters are Glavalean. Are all the people in Hundred Herbs Valley Glavalean natives?”
“It seems so from the situation!” Azure Fang replied.
“Something must have happened in Hundred Herbs Valley. Let’s go in and take a look!” Billy returned and led everyone swiftly into the ice-melted cave.
This time, there were no traps inside the ice-melted cave. About fifteen minutes later, Billy and the others emerged from the cave.
Upon arriving outside the cave, everyone looked at the scene before them and couldn’t help but exclaim.
Before them lay a lush green valley. Apart from the dozens of ancient buildings in the middle, various flowers and plants were neatly planted on the mountainsides surrounding the valley.
Compared to the ice and snow outside, this place felt like a different world.
“Wow!” Stout glanced around at some of the flowers and plants not far away. “Hundred Herbs Valley is truly worthy of its name! So many rare medicinal herbs!”
“Boss, there’s a fight over there!” Azure Fang pointed towards the central group of buildings.
“Let’s go check it out!” Billy nodded and quickly walked over.
At the same time, several groups of people in different parts of the buildings were engaged in battles, with flashing blades and swaying figures.
Several people lay on the ground, either dead or injured, and many buildings were reduced to rubble by the powerful aura.
In the central square, two groups of people were facing off.
One group consisted of Eastern faces, with a white-haired old man in white robes as their leader. His aura indicated that he was a Fifth-rank Saint. Standing beside him were five or six men and women of various ages, all dressed in gray robes. Their cultivation were decent, ranging from Eighth-rank Sovereign to Third-rank Saint. Behind them, a white-haired elder sat on the ground, accompanied by a young woman.
The white-bearded elder looked pale, obviously seriously injured. The young woman, in her mid-twenties, with delicate features and an extraordinary temperament, held an ancient sword in her hand, her face frosty as she stared at the other group.
The other group consisted of about twenty people with various skin tones of yellow, white, and black, with most having Western faces. Leading this group was an Eastern-faced old man in blue robes, not weak in cultivation, with one foot stepping into the Sixth-rank Saint. Besides him, there were two white-haired elders of Fifth-rank Saint strength.
“Nathan, do you really want Hundred Herbs Valley to fall into your hands?” The blue-robed man named Luis Long shouted at the white-bearded elder sitting on the ground.
“Luis, you traitor, colluding with external enemies and poisoning Nathan, you are truly unforgivable!” before the white-bearded elder could respond, the white-robed elder named Brett Charleston angrily spoke.
“Brett, you better shut up!” Luis Long coldly replied.
“I already gave you a chance earlier. If you continue to be stubborn, don’t blame me for not considering our same sect relationship!”
“Pah!” Brett Charleston yelled again, “If you have the guts, just kill all the people in Hundred Herbs Valley!”
“If you’re so eager to die, I will definitely grant your wish later!” Luis Long glanced at him and turned back to the white-bearded elder.
“Nathan, wise men know when to retreat. Cooperation with Frigid Fortress and Polar Trading Guild is the only way for Hundred Herbs Valley to have a future!”
“Otherwise, do you really think that the low-level mountain protection formation outside can withstand their attacks?”
“If that’s what you think, then you’re just too naive!”
“Luis, I was blind to trust an ungrateful bastard like you!” Nathan Cline took a deep breath and continued.
“Frigid Fortress and Polar Trading Guild have ulterior motives, intending to take over Skydragon City.”
“Most of the people in that city are Glavalean natives. You are assisting the evildoers, harming fellow Glavaleans, has your conscience been eaten by monsters?”
“Heh, Nathan, you are almost a hundred years old, but you still talk to me about conscience. Don’t you think you’re too naive?” Luis Long sneered, “How much is a conscience worth?”
“Luis, what conditions did they promise you to make you do such despicable things?” Brett Charleston continued angrily.
“Nathan, if you are willing to submit to Frigid Fortress, and take over the position of Deputy City Lord of Skydragon City after taking it over, how about that?” Ignoring Brett Charleston, Luis Long continued to look at Nathan Cline.
“Luis, you better give up on this idea!” at this moment, the young woman named Wynne Cline standing beside Nathan Cline spoke angrily.
“Hundred Herbs Valley will never be complicit in harming Glavalean natives with you!”
“Oh, I almost forgot about your matter, Wynne!” Luis Long turned to look at her.
“The heir of Frigid Fortress specially instructed that as long as you are willing to be his woman, he promises to let you be the Deputy City Lord of Skydragon City!”
“Pah!” Wynne Cline responded angrily, “Even if I die, I will never agree!”
“That’s not up to you!” at this moment, a white-haired elder next to Luis Long said.
Then, he turned to Luis Long. “Stop talking nonsense with them. If they refuse to accept the favors, then punish them!” After that, he waved his hand. “Let’s move. Everyone except that woman, kill!”
