Over the next two to three days, everyone was generally busy from early morning till late at night, following the tasks assigned by Billy a few days ago.
That morning, Opal and Amber, just like the past few days, set out for the city outskirts after breakfast.
Their task was to explore the terrain and find a suitable location to build the main camp.
In the past two days, their activities covered a radius of about eight to nine hundred kilometers around Criesgan.
With their current cultivation, if they traveled at full speed, they could complete a round trip in two to three hours over this distance.
After three days, the two of them had explored the vicinity of Criesgan thoroughly, but found no suitable location. Today, they planned to look further afield.
“Opal, they should be ready to make their move!” About two hours later, as they flew over a thousand kilometers, Amber narrowed her eyes as they passed over a valley.
“They’ve been following us for three days; it’s time for them to show themselves,” Opal nodded slightly.
“Hostile forces incoming!” Amber continued, “The leader must be at the third-rank Divine Realm!”
As they conversed, a strong oppressive aura enveloped the area of the sky.
Before long, a group of five people arrived in the air. The leader was an elderly man in a gray robe, at the third-rank Divine Realm. The other four also had formidable cultivations, with one at the first-rank Divine Realm and the other three at the half-step Divine Realm.
“You have quite the nerve to come from Wind Swift Kingdom to Tengamine Kingdom!” Amber said calmly, looking at the group.
Three days ago, when someone was acting suspiciously near the inn, everyone had already guessed that they were sent by Wind Swift Kingdom. They had also anticipated that the group might make their move in these two days.
The reason why the two of them chose to go out was obviously to deliberately lure the other party out.
“You know we won’t let this slide, yet you still dare to leave the city. Admirable!” the elderly leader retorted.
“Tell me, what do you want?” Amber continued.
“What do you think?” the elder retorted, “You killed Prince Ronan and the general. What do you think we want?”
“So, are you here to kill us?” Amber asked.
“Don’t worry, you won’t die for now. We’ll wait until we capture all your other companions before sending you to hell together!” the leader continued.
With a grim tone, he added, “Enough talk. Will you give up your cultivation and come with us, or should I help you?”
“Ignorant fool!” Opal retorted coldly, “Today, none of you will leave here alive!”
“Hahaha…” the leader burst into laughter.
“So arrogant and ignorant. Do you think the two of you can match us?” he taunted.
As he spoke, he waved his hand and commanded, “Attack! Since they refuse our offer, don’t hold back. Disable them both and bring them back to the royal city.”
“At your command!” the four behind him responded simultaneously and swiftly moved towards Opal and Amber.
“Opal, Amber, we’re here to assist you!” At that moment, Harleen and Ivy’s voices sounded from the air, followed by their appearance.
With those words, the two women engaged their respective opponents in combat.
“Harleen, Ivy, be careful!” Opal warned before charging at the first-rank Divine Realm man.
Amber also dashed towards another half-step Divine Realm opponent.
In the next moment, the two sides clashed fiercely, with figures flickering and waves of energy surging in the air.
“Hmm?!” Seeing Harleen and Ivy join the fight, the elderly leader’s right eyelid twitched repeatedly, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.
As the saying goes, a truly adept hunter often appears in the manner of prey!
He faintly felt that he, who had intended to be the hunter, might have long been someone else’s prey!
“Don’t hold back, give it your all, end it quickly!” After a brief pause, the leader shouted loudly.
As his words echoed, he lunged towards Opal.
“Lay down!” he shouted as he formed a seal with his hand, unleashing it towards Opal.
At that moment, a blood-red curtain descended from the sky, crackling with thunder and lightning.
Then, uninhibited by obstacles, it slashed down from above, cutting a deep ravine in the mountain below.
The elderly leader gazed up at the figure that had appeared within his sight with difficulty.
Before he could utter a word, his body split in two and fell to the ground, blood gushing out uncontrollably.
In his final moments, he was consumed by endless regret. If he had known this outcome, he would never have volunteered to come to Tengamine Kingdom to capture people.
Originally, he had planned to seize Opal and Amber while they were out of the city, take them back, and lure Billy and his group to the royal city to save them. That way, he would have smoothly secured the position of the commander of the Forbidden Army.
But he had never expected this outcome!
“Sir!” The other four men cried out in anguish at the scene.
Then, their gazes turned towards Billy, who was approaching them from a distance.
Clearly, Billy had masterminded this event!
Over the past few days, while they had been watching them, he had also had Judge and others secretly monitoring them.
Last night, a few strangers with deliberately concealed cultivations suddenly appeared in the inn. He knew that the other party was preparing to take action.
Therefore, he deliberately instructed Opal and Amber to go further away today, giving the other party a chance to strike.
“He’s the one who killed Prince Ronan and the general, run!” A moment of silence followed, before the first-rank Divine Realm man exclaimed aloud.
Though there were no mobile phones or cameras in the Forbidden Ruins Space, there were the most primitive sketches.
When Billy and his group went on a rampage at the Star Moon Sect that day, there were thousands of Star Moon Sect disciples present. Later, many fled the scene, and those who sped towards the royal city could easily describe the general appearance of Billy and his group.
After hearing this, the other three men’s faces displayed a hint of horror. They immediately lost all desire to fight and rushed to flee.
“Can they escape?” Billy asked calmly.
With those words, he flipped his hand, sending several curved blade lights shooting out like lightning.
Boom!
In the next moment, the three half-step Divine Realm men fell from the sky, one after another, crashing to the ground and losing their breath.
At the same time, due to his lack of fighting spirit, the first-rank Divine Realm man was struck by Opal in the back and was sent flying.
Though he had defensive aura protecting him, he was still injured. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he fell heavily to the ground.
“P-please don’t kill me…” The man lay on the ground, blood gushing from his mouth. After pausing for a moment, he cried out loudly towards Billy.
“Give me one reason not to kill you!” Billy and Harleen walked leisurely towards the man after landing on the ground.
“I-I can tell you some vital information, just spare my life,” the man pleaded.
