“Is that so?” Finley Hunt responded, “Tell me more.”
“I’m willing to offer a thousand top-grade spirit stones to end him!” the young man replied.
Upon hearing this, including Bethany Holmes, they all secretly marveled.
A generous offer!
A thousand top-grade spirit stones to kill someone, what a wealthy man!
“I must say, your reward is indeed tempting!” Finley Hunt’s eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise.
“However, Flying Dragon Sect has no intention of getting involved in the disputes of your royal palace. You’ll have to find someone else!”
A few days ago, after Bethany Holmes described what had happened to Wild Tiger Gang, he naturally assumed that Billy and his group were from one of the palaces. That was why he didn’t rush to take action against them.
Although Flying Dragon Sect was powerful, compared to the empire, it was still far behind.
Before figuring out the identities of Billy and his group, he obviously wouldn’t act rashly.
In case, if the other party turned out to be someone like a prince from one of the empires, if Flying Dragon Sect killed them, they would face annihilation!
So, for the past few days, he had been sending people to inquire about Billy’s identity, but there hadn’t been any confirmed results yet.
“Heh, does Master Finley think they’re from the palace?” the young man smiled slightly.
“Aren’t they?” Finley Hunt squinted.
“Of course not!” the young man smiled again.
“He’s not from the palace, and he can’t even be considered part of the Forbidden Ruins Space!”
“What do you mean?” Finley Hunt was puzzled.
“He comes from the Polar Domain. In this Forbidden Ruins Space, he has no background.” The young man spoke again.
“So, your sect doesn’t need to worry about retaliation after killing them!”
“Polar Domain people?” Finley Hunt was slightly stunned.
Bethany Holmes beside him was also taken aback. She hadn’t expected Billy and his group to come from the Polar Domain.
“I have no reason to deceive Master Finley!” the young man took a sip of tea.
“Sooner or later, you will know, won’t you?”
“Why do you want to kill them?” Finley Hunt asked again.
He was already inclined to believe the other party’s words. Perhaps Billy and his group really were from beyond the Forbidden Ruins Space.
Otherwise, his people wouldn’t have been investigating for so long without any news.
“This question, I can’t disclose for the time being. Please understand, Master Finley.” The young man shook his head.
“I’ll consider it!” Finley Hunt didn’t pursue further.
“Master Finley, you’d better make a decision soon!” After saying this, the young man got up.
“I think there will be many people interested in this deal throughout Extreme City by tomorrow.”
“By this time tomorrow, I’ll give you an answer!” Finley Hunt replied.
“Good!”
After nodding, the young man led his people and left.
“Master Finley, should we take on this deal?” After the other party left, an old man looked at Finley Hunt and asked.
“We should settle the score with them for the sake of Wild Tiger Gang!” Finley Hunt answered indirectly.
After a pause, he continued, “They should be staying in the north of the city, right? Send people to watch them twenty-four hours a day. I want to know their whereabouts at all times!”
“Understood!” The old man nodded.
“Master Finley, should we confirm their identities again?” Bethany Holmes asked.
“No need, that kid just now probably didn’t lie to us!” Finley Hunt shook his head.
“After the sect master returns tomorrow, I’ll discuss with him. If he has no objections, we’ll take action within three days!”
“Understood!” Several people responded simultaneously.
The next two days passed.
Billy and his group didn’t have anything special to do. Apart from occasionally going out for a stroll, they stayed in the courtyard to cultivate.
“Boss, just heard some news!” That morning, Stout and Judge returned to the estate from outside.
“What news?” Billy asked while chatting with Casey.
“Yesterday, someone found traces of a fourth-rank Divine Beast in the primitive forest to the south of the city,” Judge replied. “Many people rushed over today.”
“A fourth-rank Divine Beast, with strength close to that of the fourth-rank Divine Realm. Aren’t they afraid of losing their lives?” Felicia interjected.
“Most of them are just there to watch the excitement from the sidelines. There aren’t many who dare to venture deep inside,” Judge added.
“Boss, a fourth-rank Divine Beast probably wouldn’t appear for no reason. Most likely, it’s guarding some treasure,” Stout speculated, his mind filled with thoughts of treasures.
“And, the core of a fourth-rank Divine Beast is much better than any thousand-year spirit fruit!”
Hehe!
Beside him, Frostblade smirked, “Stout, can’t your mind think of anything else?”
“I wonder if there are high-grade spirit stone mines in that primitive forest.” Stout replied.
“Okay,” Frostblade’s lips twitched.
“Hehe…” Stout grinned, looking at Billy. “Boss, do we go take a look?”
“There’s nothing else to do, might as well go see!” After a brief consideration, Billy responded.
“Alright!” Stout was unusually excited.
In five minutes, Billy led Casey, Azure Dragon, Azure Fang, Bob, Ian Blade, and a few others to fly towards the south of the city.
Harleen and Opal and the others had initially wanted to follow, but Billy persuaded them to stay behind.
This time, they were just going to see the situation in the primitive forest. Having too many people wouldn’t be of much help. And if they were to encounter a mid-rank Divine Beast, having too many people would be a burden.
Less than an hour later, Billy and his group landed at the foot of the primitive forest.
Looking around, they saw rolling mountains covered with towering trees.
Various birds flew in the treetops, many of them unrecognizable, and faint roars of Fierce Beasts could be heard.
The entire mountain range gave off a sacred feeling.
“There are quite a few people!” Azure Dragon observed as they saw many people heading up the mountain.
“These people are really risking their lives for some excitement!” Bob commented.
“Let’s go!” After Billy spoke, he led the group up the mountain.
Because the mountain range was vast, although many people were heading up, they quickly dispersed.
“Tsk tsk, this primitive forest is indeed worthy of its name. Many of these trees are probably hundreds or even thousands of years old!”
Not long after they started ascending the mountain, Stout couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at the towering trees.
“Indeed!” Azure Dragon nodded.
“It can be compared with the hundred thousand mountains in the southwest of Glavale!”
“Boss, can you sense the aura of Divine Beasts?” After walking for a while, Azure asked.
“No!” Billy shook his head.
“I heard that some mid-high rank Divine Beasts can conceal their own aura, just like humans.”
“Alright,” Azure Dragon shrugged.
The group continued walking towards the mountain, noticing traces of battles along the way. Several large trees were snapped in half, and there were many craters on the ground, indicating intense fighting.
Moreover, they occasionally encountered some low-rank ferocious beasts. Most of them would hide upon seeing people, but a small portion would actively attack. However, for Billy and the others, these beasts of such rank could be completely ignored, easily dispatched with a single strike.
Due to the low rank of these beasts, Stout didn’t even bother collecting their beast cores.
“Stay alert, there might be high-rank Spiritual Beasts coming!” About half an hour later, when the group arrived at a flat mountainous area, Casey spoke up.
