Nolan Ochoa and Jasiah Ochoa could not utter any words since they were made mute for now by Stout.
“Hurry and inform the Sect Master, they have arrived!” The man turned and shouted towards the direction of the guard post, where three people inside the post proceeded to open the gates of the estate and rushed out to greet Billy and his companions.
A few minutes later, Billy and his group arrived at the estate and stopped at an open grass field. At the same time, three to four thousand disciples of Star Moon Sect surrounded them. Clad in robes and wielding weapons, the disciples had been waiting for Billy and his group to arrive.
“You guys are not bad!” A man’s voice came from behind the crowd in front of Billy.
As he finished speaking, a group of twenty people walked out from the crowd. The man who spoke was a middle-aged man, no more than sixty years old. He had a muscular build with a pair of eyes that glinted like fierce beasts.
This man was none other than the current head of Star Moon Sect, Antoine Ochoa, who was at the second-rank Divine Realm late-stage cultivation level, just one step away from the third-rank realm!
The twenty people that followed him were all members of the Elder Council of the Star Moon Sect. Each one had a cultivation level that was not weak; the strongest person was at half-step Divine Realm, and there were also two ninth-rank Saints and the weakest person had the strength of a sixth-rank Saint.
No wonder they were able to become a second-rate sect in the Forbidden Ruins Space. If Nolan Ochoa and Jasiah Ochoa were added, this group alone would be enough to crush all major sects and cities in the Polar Domain.
Nolan Ochoa instinctively opened his mouth to say something as soon as he saw his father, but he could not utter a sound as he was still unable to speak.
“How dare you! What have you done to Master Nolan and Elder Jasiah?” A senior member of the Star Moon Sect behind Antoine Ochoa shouted angrily.
“There’s no need to be nervous, they were made mute for a short while,” Stout replied indifferently.
“It’s been decades since the Star Moon Sect has been provoked like this!” Antoine Ochoa said coldly after investigating the situation of Nolan Ochoa and Jasiah Ochoa. He then looked back at Billy and continued, “Do you know what consequences your actions will bring?”
“Enough of the nonsense. Where are Opal and Amber?” Billy spoke indifferently.
“Do you really think you can take them away today?” Antoine Ochoa sneered. “Release them one by one! Or I’ll made all of you go to hell.”
“Is it?” Billy narrowed his eyes slightly.
Then, pointing at Nolan Ochoa, he said in a deep voice, “Ian, if you don’t see Opal and Amber within ten minutes, kill him!”
“Got it!” Ian Blade responded with a big knife drawn from his body, a chilling killing intent emanating from him.
“You fools, you are looking for death!” the elderly man at the half-step Divine Realm angrily spoke.
As the words fell, he raised his hand and slammed a palm towards Ian Blade.
“Get out of the way!” Billy said coldly, at the same time lifting his hand to send a powerful gust of wind towards the elder.
The two gusts of wind collided, and both sides moved back five or six steps.
At the same time, Ian Blade’s three-foot-long knife was held against Nolan Ochoa’s throat.
Nolan Ochoa looked terrified and opened his mouth to shout for help.
“Don’t test my patience. If you don’t believe I dare to kill your son, you can try!” Billy looked at Antoine Ochoa and spoke again.
Antoine Ochoa deeply exhaled and his eyes became bloodshot.
“Bring those two women out!”
Five or six minutes later, four men in robes brought Opal and Amber over.
“Opal, Amber!” Harleen and the others shouted when they saw the two.
“Billy Boy, how did you come here?!” Opal and Amber both showed surprised expressions on their faces.
Clearly, they hadn’t expected Billy and the others to come to the Forbidden Ruins Space.
“Opal, Amber, how are you? Are you okay?” Billy inquired about their conditions while speaking.
Other than their strength being sealed and looking a bit unwell, they didn’t have many injuries.
It’s estimated that the people from Star Moon Sect intended to hand the two over to the second prince of Wind Swift Kingdom, so they didn’t want them to have too many injuries.
“We’re fine!” Opal shook her head. “You should take Harleen and the others away from here, don’t worry about us!”
“Billy Boy, listen to Opal, you should leave!” Amber also spoke.
It had been some time since they had seen Billy and the others, so they didn’t know how strong Billy was at the moment.
In their view, even though Billy was talented, it was impossible for him to grow to the point where he could contend with Divine Realm experts in just a few months.
“Opal, don’t worry, I have a plan!” Billy gave the two a reassuring look.
After speaking, he turned to Antoine Ochoa and said, “Let’s make an exchange!”
“Release my son and Nolan first!” Antoine Ochoa spoke in a deep voice.
“Do you think that’s possible?” Billy replied coldly.
“Then how do you want to do the exchange?” Antoine Ochoa’s body exuded a killing intent.
“One by one!” After Billy finished speaking, he turned to Stout and said, “Release the older one first!”
“Okay!” Stout responded and pushed Jasiah Ochoa out.
“Release her!” After a brief pause, Antoine Ochoa looked at the two men holding Amber and spoke.
“Master, she…” The two men hesitated slightly.
“I said release her, did you not hear me?” Antoine Ochoa’s tone grew heavier.
“Okay!” After hesitating again, the two let go of Amber.
“Billy Boy…” Amber quickly walked up to Billy.
“Amber, let me release your seal first!” Billy interrupted Amber as she tried to speak.
He then flicked his wrist, and several strands of vital energy penetrated into Amber’s body.
In the next moment, a powerful aura erupted from Amber’s body.
“Amber, you have broken through to the eighth-rank Saint?” Harleen and the others expressed their surprise upon sensing Amber’s martial arts aura.
Opal and Amber had only been separated from the group for a short period of time, and most importantly, they were sealed by Nolan Ochoa for more than a month. In other words, Amber had already broken through to the eighth-rank Saint more than a month ago.
Her speed was no less than that of Harleen and her companions!
“I understand!” Harleen nodded as she sensed Amber’s aura.
“Release him!” Antoine Ochoa instructed, looking towards Billy as he spoke.
“Billy boy, don’t worry about me. Take him and leave here first!” Opal spoke to Billy and asked him to leave with Nolan Ochoa.
“Opal, don’t worry!” Billy smiled and turned to Antoine Ochoa. “This is your base camp, and there are so many of your people surrounding us. Do you think I will release a hostage first?”
“Hmph!” Antoine Ochoa sneered. “How can I trust you to release them once I release her?”
“You are confident in yourself, aren’t you?” Billy smiled coldly. “If I don’t release them, then you can kill all of us!”
“You better not try any tricks, otherwise, I will make you suffer before you die!” Antoine Ochoa responded coldly.
After a brief pause, he waved his hand towards the other two. “Release her!”
As Billy had said, this was the base camp of the Star Moon Sect. He was not worried about them not releasing the hostages. Unless they wanted to kill themselves.
