Reit was determined to kill Billy! But he also knew that based on Billy’s demonstrated strength, it wouldn’t be easy to take him down in a short amount of time if he focused solely on escaping. Meanwhile, Mysthaven City was on the brink of disaster! Just as Billy had said, with Stephanie’s skills, she could single-handedly massacre an entire city. It was entirely possible!
So, he had no choice!
“Are you alright, Billy?” Harleen and the others arrived in front of Billy once again.
“I’m fine, how about all of you?” Billy asked while checking on everyone’s injuries.
“It’s fine.” Harleen responded.
“Boss, how did that old geezer manage to escape?” Judge looked at Billy and asked.
Billy hadn’t told them about his mother’s involvement, so they were in the dark for now.
“He’s going back to put out the fire!” Billy replied with a faint smile.
“Huh?” Judge was slightly taken aback. “What do you mean?”
“Young Master, did Madam go to Mysthaven City?” Sol Stuart asked after a moment of thought.
“Yes!” Billy smiled again.
“No wonder!” Judge finally understood.
“Billy, should we go and meet up with your mother now?” Ivy spoke up.
“No rush!” Billy shook his head. “The main forces of Skydragon City are still on their way. We just need to arrive before they reach Mysthaven City.”
“Billy, Reit has already returned. Is Mom in danger?” Harleen asked with a hint of worry.
“Don’t worry, she can handle it!” Billy reassured her.
“Mom went there early just to deter Reit. She won’t engage in direct conflict until the main forces of Skydragon City arrive.”
This, of course, had been discussed between him and his mother.
However, just to be safe, he sent another message to his mother, letting her know that Reit had turned back.
“Boss, are we officially declaring war on Mysthaven City?” Azure Dragon chimed in. “Reit is a formidable opponent. Are we confident?”
“We can give it a try!” Billy nodded thoughtfully.
After a brief pause, he looked at Stout and spoke.
“Stout, give everyone a healing pill. Let them rest for a while before we set off!”
“Alright!” Stout nodded and took out the pills, distributing them to everyone.
Subsequently, including Sol Stuart, everyone found a place to sit cross-legged and began to recuperate.
Before long, the elderly Eighth-rank Saint and his group returned.
“Young man, thank you!” The elderly Saint bowed respectfully as he approached Billy.
“Don’t mention it, just a small favor!” Billy replied with a casual smile.
In the previous barrier, there were over a thousand people trapped, but only these few dozen stayed behind. So Billy felt a slight sense of gratitude towards them.
“Hey there, are you guys from Skydragon City?” the old man continued to ask.
“Yes, indeed!” Billy nodded in response.
“I knew it!” the old man took a deep breath and sighed. “Young man, you are not only a fifth-rank Saint at such a young age, but you also possess the combat power equivalent to a ninth-rank expert. I am truly impressed!”
“Although Skydragon City has many talented individuals, geniuses like you are extremely rare!”
After saying that, before Billy could respond, the old man continued, “May I ask, are you Commander Gardner, King of the West from Glavale?”
“You seem to be quite familiar with Skydragon City,” Billy replied with a faint smile, acknowledging the old man’s inquiry.
“Lord Dragon, please allow me to express my sincere respect! I am Osian Callahan.” After receiving Billy’s acknowledgment, the old man raised an eyebrow and respectfully greeted Billy.
“Lord Dragon!”
The people behind Osian Callahan were momentarily stunned, looking at Billy bowing in respect, admiration flickering in their eyes one by one. They had already heard of Billy’s name and knew he was a legendary figure.
“No need for formalities!” Billy smiled and waved his hand.
“So, you are the elder of the Callahan family in Ironstone City. I’ve heard of your reputation. It’s an honor to meet you!” Sol Stuart approached at this moment.
“Thank you for lending a hand, sir!” Upon seeing Sol Stuart, Osian Callahan bowed again. “You must be the Grand Steward of the Stuart family in Skydragon City, right?”
With his understanding of Skydragon City, there would be no one else besides Sol Stuart who possessed the Eighth-rank Saint’s cultivation.
“Mr Callahan, no need to be so polite. Just call me Sol!” Sol Stuart responded.
“I dare not!” Osian Callahan bowed in response and continued to ask, “Is Skydragon City planning to go to war with Mysthaven City?”
“To be honest, we do have such intentions!” Sol Stuart nodded.
“In that case, count the Callahan family in!” Osian Callahan replied. “Although my family is weak, we can handle killing a few small thieves for Skydragon City!”
“Mr Callahan, you’re being too modest!” Sol Stuart laughed and responded. “Thank you for your assistance!”
“The one who should be saying thank you is me!” Osian Callahan spoke again. “Today, without your help and Lord Dragon’s assistance, we would have been completely done for!”
After chatting for a while, they agreed on a meeting time and Osian Callahan turned to leave with his group.
“Boss, was there really a formation enhanced in that valley?” After the other group left, White Tiger pointed in the direction of the valley and asked.
“Yes!” Billy nodded in response. “And it’s a high-level one!”
“Boss, can you break it?” White Tiger continued to ask.
“I haven’t tried, so I’m not sure!” Billy shook his head. “But even if I could, it would take a considerable amount of time.”
“Boss, since the inheritance of Divine is fake, why is there a high-level formation in place?” Frostblade paused for a moment before continuing.
“Was it already there, or did Mysthaven City set it up to make the lie more convincing?”
“It could be either!” Billy replied thoughtfully.
“Boss, would you like to try breaking the formation?” Azure Dragon spoke up.
“If it was already there, even without the inheritance of Divine, there should still be some valuable things inside!”
“We don’t have time for that now. Let’s deal with Mysthaven City first, and then we can reconsider,” Billy said after a moment of thought.
Actually, he was also curious about the question Frostblade had asked earlier.
However, he was more inclined to believe that the array had been there for a long time.
Because if Mysthaven City had set up the array just to make the lie more convincing, they could have chosen a location closer to Mysthaven City instead of running nearly 2, 000 kilometers away to Black Phoenix City!
Moreover, according to what Billy had learned from his mother, although there were many formation masters in the Polar Domain, true high-level masters were extremely rare.
He had already used his spiritual power to roughly investigate the array in the valley, and it was definitely not the work of an ordinary array master.
Therefore, Billy believed it was highly likely that the people from Mysthaven City had stumbled upon this place by chance and fabricated the rumors accordingly.
“Understood!” Azure Dragon nodded in response.
After a short rest, Billy led everyone to fly toward Mysthaven City.
