“Abandon your cultivation and leave!” Billy waved his hand dismissively.
“Lord Dragon…” Eve’s face turned horrified.
“If you refuse to abandon your cultivation, then go and accompany your father!” Edie spoke in a deep voice.
Eve let out a breath of frustration. She knew she had no choice!
Two minutes later, after she had abandoned her cultivation, she struggled to walk towards the door.
Shortly after, Billy also walked out of the warehouse.
Half an hour later, they returned with Casey and the others.
“Holy crap!” Stout couldn’t help but shout when he saw the scene in front of him.
Ivy and the others also had a look of astonishment on their faces.
“Aunt Edie, choose some spiritual fruits for refining and let Mr Stuart take care of them!” Billy turned to Edie and said.
The reason Sol Stuart wasn’t included in the fruit consuming process was obviously because the spiritual fruits here were of little use to someone at his level. Their effects were minimal.
“Alright!” Edie didn’t delay any further.
Soon after, they each chose some spiritual fruits and began consuming them.
Meanwhile, Billy, Ivy and Stout continued to help Casey and the others with their injuries, just like he had done when he went to pick them up.
On his way to pick them up, he had already called his mother and learned that the battle at the City Lord’s Manor had ended. One or two thousand people had died, and the remaining forces had abandoned their cultivation and left Demonrealm City.
Stephanie was currently overseeing the counting of treasures in the City Lord’s Manor and Frigid Fortress. The treasures in both places were equally astonishing. Especially in Frigid Fortress, the collection of rare and exotic fruits was no less than that of the Polar Trading Guild!
Time passed quickly, and several hours flew by in the blink of an eye.
With the assistance of numerous precious materials, Casey and the others’ injuries were finally healed.
With Sol Stuart’s help and the spiritual fruits, Edie and the others’ cultivation breakthroughs were expected. Edie officially advanced to the third rank of Saint.
At the same time, ten thousand people from Skydragon City, led by Corey Gentry, had arrived in Demonrealm City.
Afterward, Sol Stuart, Edie, and the others bid farewell to Billy and the rest. They were going to meet up with Stephanie and handle official business.
Billy and the others stayed in the warehouse. And they stayed there for ten days!
During these ten days, everyone worked tirelessly, consuming a large number of rare and exotic fruits and high-grade spiritual stones.
After ten days, including Billy and Grand Ravenwood, everyone’s cultivation had undoubtedly advanced by one level.
Billy officially broke through to the fifth rank of Saint, while Grand Ravenwood reached the seventh rank. Casey reached the fourth rank of Saint, and Harleen and Ivy, like Edie, both broke through to the third rank of Saint. Azure Fang and Bob, after their cultivation breakthroughs, successively reached the second rank of Saint. Stout, Night Orchid, and the others also ascended to the realm of Saints.
At this point, everyone around Billy had broken through to the realm of Saints.
A few days later, Stephanie and the others returned to Skydragon City, while Corey Gentry, Elder Brock, and the others stayed in Demonrealm City, officially taking over the super city.
Including all the territories under Demonrealm City’s jurisdiction in the Central Part, Stephanie had arranged for people to take control of them.
Frigid Fortress and the Polar Trading Guild had officially withdrawn from the stage of the Polar Domain by now!
On the second morning after returning to Skydragon City, Stephanie and Edie came to the courtyard to chat with everyone.
“Mom, what’s the situation with Mysthaven City?” After everyone sat down, Harleen asked Stephanie, “Is it controlled by Northfortia in the Central Part?”
These past few days, everyone had been discussing Mysthaven City.
Asher was killed by Billy in Demonrealm City, and it was certain that the other party would not let it go. The only question was how they would seek revenge.
“Mysthaven City is indeed under the control of Northfortia. Their city lord, Reit, used to be the second-in-command of Northfortia!” Edie responded.
“That old guy used to be the Prime Minister of Northfortia?” Bob asked with a slight surprise.
“Yes!” Edie nodded, “But strictly speaking, he is not one of Northfortia’s representatives in the Polar Domain.”
“Aunt Edie, what do you mean?” Ivy asked.
“He was only in the position of Prime Minister of Northfortia for two years before being forced out by some political enemies,” Edie explained. “Later on, I don’t know where he got a set of sinister martial arts techniques that allowed him to absorb the cultivation of others for his own use.”
“After that, he disappeared for four or five years. When he reappeared, his cultivation had skyrocketed from the Martial Ancestor realm directly to the Saint realm!”
“And then?” Stout asked eagerly.
“After his cultivation breakthrough, he beheaded all the politicians and family members who had once opposed him. It caused a huge uproar in Northfortia at that time,” Edie responded.
“It is said that at least forty to fifty thousand people died by his hands.”
“Damn it.” Soul Chaser exclaimed.
“Later on, the current regime in Northfortia sent a venerable old martial artist to capture him, but someone tipped him off, and he managed to escape,” Edie continued.
“And then he came here?” Azure Dragon asked.
“Yes!” Edie nodded. “After arriving in the Polar Domain, initially, before his cultivation breakthrough to the late Saint realm, he roamed in the other four districts.”
“He constantly seized the cultivation of others to enhance his own strength and became the number one wanted criminal by multiple government forces. There were even several joint capture attempts, but none succeeded.”
“Later on, when his strength reached the late Saint realm, he boldly appeared in the Central Part.”
“At that time, very few people in the Polar Domain dared to provoke him anymore.”
“After coming to the Central Part, he led his men to conquer the then Mysthaven City and rooted himself there.”
“Aunt Edie, do you know his specific cultivation level now?” Harleen asked.
“I don’t know the exact cultivation level!” Edie shook her head slightly. “But more than a year ago, he was already at the late Saint realm of the ninth rank.”
“It was thanks to him that Stephanie suffered such severe injuries. If it weren’t for his own injuries at the time, the consequences for Stephanie would have been even worse!”
“More than a year ago, he was already at the late Saint realm of the ninth rank. Coupled with his bizarre martial arts techniques, I wouldn’t be surprised if he has already broken through again.” Soul Chaser couldn’t help but say.
“It’s very likely!” Edie nodded.
“Aunt Stephanie, if you were to fight him now, do you have confidence in defeating him?” Judge asked.
“No!” Stephanie shook her head slightly.
“More than a year ago, although he was injured, his cultivation was not greatly affected.”
“It has been over a year now, and he must have broken through to the Half-Step Divine realm, or even come close to the true Divine realm!”
On the path of martial arts, the Saint realm was the threshold to become a Divine martial artist.
There was still a hurdle between the two realms, that was, the Half-Step Divine realm!
If the Saint realm represented extraordinary individuals, then the Divine realm represented truly unparalleled martial artists. A Saint late-stage one could cause the rivers to flip and mountains to crumble with a wave of their hand, while a Divine one, with just a thought, could easily kill a late-stage Saint martial artist.
