“Great!” Stephanie smiled after probing everyone’s cultivation level.
Edie’s face also showed a trace of relief.
“Oh right, Edie, you haven’t told me yet, are you from the Phoenix Divine Palace?” Judge suddenly remembered this.
“Not only is Edie from the Phoenix Divine Palace, but she’s also the former young miss of the Phoenix Divine Palace,” Stephanie replied for Edie with a smile.
“What?” Casey and the others exclaimed in surprise.
“Edie, are you Melanie Fennimore’s aunt?” Harleen asked after a pause.
“Yes!” Edie nodded with a smile and asked back, “Harleen, how do you know Melanie?”
“Edie, Miss Melanie Fennimore is not someone to be trifled with!” Soul Chaser recounted the events of that day to Stephanie and Edie.
“Huh?” After listening, a look of surprise flashed across Edie’s face. “She’s engaged to Billy? How come I’ve never heard of it?”
Stephanie also wore a puzzled expression on her face. How could she, as a mother, not know that her son had an engagement?
“Stephanie, Edie, you didn’t know about this either?” Judge chuckled. “Then most likely it’s something she made up herself!”
“Since she’s so sure, it probably isn’t something she made up herself,” Stephanie said thoughtfully, looking at Billy.
“Billy, next time you see Elder Ether Mountain, ask him if he knows about this.”
“Okay!” Billy nodded in response.
“Billy, Harleen, Melanie grew up in the sect since childhood and rarely ventures out into the world. She’s a bit willful. Please be understanding,” Edie added.
“I’ll make sure to have a good talk with her when I see her next!”
“Edie, you’re exaggerating, it’s not a big deal!” Harleen smiled and responded.
“Billy, it’s about time we set off!” Stephanie didn’t continue the topic and looked at Billy.
“The longer Opal and Amber stay in Star Moon Sect, the more dangerous it becomes!”
“Stephanie, are you and Edie coming with us?” Ivy asked.
“I and Edie will escort you to the entrance of the City of Angels!” Stephanie replied.
“I’ve discussed with Mr Arnold these past few days and we plan to move all the main forces of Skydragon City to settle in the City of Angels, just in case.”
“When I finish up things here, Edie and I will come find you again.”
“Understood!” Ivy and the others nodded simultaneously.
Everyone naturally understood Stephanie’s intentions. The entrance to the Forbidden Ruins Space was in the City of Angels.
If someone were to come out from inside again, the first battlefield would definitely be in the City of Angels, so it must be guarded.
“Billy, when you arrive at the Star Moon Sect, if there’s no need, don’t engage in conflict with them. Just use their young sect master to exchange for Opal and Amber,” Stephanie continued.
“Don’t rush about your father and grandfather’s matters, take your time to gather information!”
“In recent years, there have been many people entering the Forbidden Ruins Space from the Polar Domain. You can ask these people first to understand the situation.”
“Okay!” Billy nodded again.
“Billy, you probably won’t be able to use satellite phones inside the Forbidden Ruins Space,” Edie spoke up.
“After you enter, try to leave some clues so that Stephanie and I can find you easily later.”
“Okay!” Billy nodded once more.
After chatting for a while, they headed towards the City of Angels. Abby Meskill also followed along with them.
At noon, they arrived at a valley on the outskirts of the City of Angels.
This was one of the entrances to the Forbidden Ruins Space.
Looking around, they saw many people moving about in the valley, most of them wearing solemn expressions.
At the same time, everyone could clearly feel a strong oppressive aura near the valley.
“Another group has arrived. Are they trying to enter the Forbidden Ruins Space?”
“It seems like it, why else would they be carrying luggage?”
“Isn’t that Lady Stuart from Skydragon City up front? Is she also going in?”
Seeing Billy and his group, the people in the valley began to discuss.
“Billy, after entering the ice-melting cave, walk for about ten kilometers inside. You’ll reach an abandoned underground town,” Stephanie pointed to a nearby ice-melting cave.
“The entrance to the Forbidden Ruins Space is east of that town. There are people from the Arnold family stationed there. You can ask anyone there.”
“Okay!” Billy responded.
“Also, after entering that town, don’t use spiritual power without reason, or you’ll be backlashed,” Stephanie added.
“The strong late-stage Saint I mentioned last time was severely injured because he forcefully used spiritual power to explore the entrance to the Forbidden Ruins Space.”
“Got it!” Billy nodded again.
“Billy, be careful with everyone after entering. Safety comes first!” Edie looked at everyone and said.
“Edie, don’t worry, we’ll be fine!” Billy responded.
“Billy, lead everyone in!”
After taking a deep breath, Stephanie waved her hand to signal everyone. A worried expression flashed across her face. However, even though she was filled with worry, she knew that this was something that had to be done!
Publicly, this matter was related to the safety of the entire Polar Domain, and no one could guarantee when the people inside would break through the barrier.
Privately, even if it was for the safety of Opal and Amber, this trip had to be made.
Moreover, there was no news about Billy’s father and grandfather, and whether they were alive or not was uncertain.
“Mom, take care of yourself and Edie!” Harleen looked at the two of them and said.
“Stephanie, Edie, take care!” Casey and the others spoke up at the same time.
“Okay! Go!” Stephanie and Edie nodded simultaneously.
Then, Billy led everyone into the ice-melting cave.
Stout carried the sect master of the Star Moon Sect, and during these few days, Stout hadn’t let him wake up at all.
After entering the ice-melting cave, the oppressive aura inside was much stronger than outside, relying entirely on everyone being at the mid to late-stage of Saint cultivation, otherwise it would be tough.
The passage was about ten kilometers long, with steep slopes for more than half of it.
After exiting the passage, they entered the abandoned town that Stephanie had mentioned.
The size of the town was two to three times larger than the one where Celestial Blade and the others fell, and the buildings inside were also intact.
After entering the town, they saw many people patrolling, presumably sent by the Arnold family.
“Oswaldo Arnold, greetings to Lord Dragon!” A man led by an old man walked up to Billy and bowed.
“Elder Oswaldo, there’s no need for such formality!” Billy smiled and asked, “Where’s the entrance?”
“Lord Dragon, please follow me!” Oswaldo Arnold said and led everyone towards the east of the town.
After about a quarter of an hour, everyone arrived at a stone wall about thirty to forty meters high.
Looking around, they saw a cave about ten meters wide and long on the smooth stone wall.
At the same time, everyone could clearly sense the presence of an invisible ripple resembling a barrier slowly drifting at the entrance.
“Lord Dragon, that’s the entrance!” Oswaldo Arnold said to Billy.
“Because I’ve never been in, I don’t know what will happen inside. Lord Dragon, be careful,” he added.
“Okay!” Billy nodded and then turned to Stout. “Wake him up and ask!”
“Got it!” Stout nodded, then gestured with his hand, sending a palm strike toward Nolan Ochoa lying on the ground, who then woke up.
“Is that the barrier you mentioned?” Stout asked, pointing in the direction of the cave entrance.
“No,” Nolan Ochoa paused slightly and shook his head. “This is just a teleportation channel. You need to pass through this channel to enter the Forbidden World.”
“How do we navigate after entering this entrance? Will there be any danger?” Azure asked.
“No,” Nolan Ochoa shook his head again. “After entering this barrier, an array will automatically teleport people into the Forbidden World.”
“You better not be lying to us!” Stout retorted.
“Elder Oswaldo, farewell for now,” Billy then turned to Oswaldo Arnold.
“Lord Dragon, take care,” Oswaldo Arnold responded solemnly.
“Goodbye!” Billy said again before lifting Nolan Ochoa and heading towards the cave entrance in mid-air.
Casey and the others bid farewell to Oswaldo Arnold before following closely behind.
At this moment, everyone’s faces showed a hint of complexity.
For them, this was a brand new journey, filled with uncertainties.
No one knew what kind of life journey awaited them after entering that world.
And most importantly, after going in, no one could give them an answer as to when they could return!
