“Who is it?” Billy asked as he opened his eyes.
“I don’t know!” Stout shook his head in response.
“A young master, followed by several attendants. They seem quite imposing!”
“Let them in!” Billy said.
“Okay!” Stout replied.
Soon after, he led the group in.
The leading man, about thirty years old, dressed elegantly with an extraordinary demeanor, clearly not an ordinary person.
Billy could also sense the cultivation levels of the group.
The young man had recently broken through to the fifth-rank Divine Realm, and the black-robed old man following him was the strongest, already at the eighth-rank Divine Realm.
“Mr Billy, hello. I apologize for coming uninvited,” the man said politely after looking around at everyone.
He could immediately recognize Billy, undoubtedly having seen his portrait.
“From the Royal Family of the Rainbow Moon Empire?” Billy asked casually.
He was young but already at the fifth-rank Divine Realm and with a strong eighth-rank Divine Realm follower. It was easy to guess his identity.
Apart from the imperial family and super sects, there was no other possibility!
“Exactly!” The man didn’t hide it either and continued with a smile.
“Let me introduce myself first. My name is Nelson Morris, the second prince of the Rainbow Moon Royal Family!”
“Do you have business with me?” Billy narrowed his eyes slightly and deliberately exuded a coldness.
The other party’s identity was somewhat unexpected.
In theory, although there was not much conflict between himself and the Rainbow Moon Royal Family, he had just wiped out the Wind Swift Royal Family.
Wouldn’t the Rainbow Moon Royal Family worry about being targeted?
Not only him, but Casey and the others were also slightly surprised, not expecting the other party to be the second prince of the Rainbow Moon Empire.
“Mr Billy, please don’t misunderstand!” Nelson Morris smiled and spoke after sensing Billy’s hostility.
“I’ve heard about your dealings with the Wind Swift Royal Family. That was Rolando Cantrell’s own fault, no one else’s blame!”
“That matter is in the past, and the Rainbow Moon Royal Family doesn’t hold grudges.”
“So, Mr Billy, you don’t need to worry about our empire causing trouble for you.”
“I came here today purely to make friends with Mr Billy, with no other intentions!”
“Is that so?” Billy narrowed his eyes again.
In fact, he had been wondering for the past few days.
Since they left the Wind Swift Royal City, almost half a month had passed until today.
Originally, he thought that people from the Rainbow Moon Empire would not let it go easily and would send someone to negotiate with him.
But half a month had passed.
“Please leave!” Billy paused slightly and waved his hand. “I’m not interested in people from your royal family!”
“Young man, don’t push it too far! Prince Nelson…” A man behind Nelson Morris spoke in a deep voice.
“Shut up!” Nelson Morris interrupted him.
“Prince Nelson, he…” The man spoke again.
Before he could finish his sentence, Nelson Morris slapped him, sending him flying tens of meters away, spitting out blood when he landed.
“Apologize to Mr Billy!” Nelson Morris’s body exuded a coldness.
“I’m… I’m sorry…” The man struggled to get up from the ground and walked to Billy, bowing and speaking.
“You should thank Prince Nelson; otherwise, you would be dead by now!” Ian Blade glanced at the man beside him.
“If you dare to be disrespectful to Mr Billy again, you’ll die!” Nelson Morris continued.
“I… I won’t dare…” The man trembled.
“Mr Billy, I apologize sincerely. I failed to discipline him properly. Please forgive us…” Nelson Morris turned to Billy.
“Alright, don’t waste everyone’s time. Get to the point of your visit,” Billy interrupted him.
If the other party has no specific purpose, why bother making friends with them in Extreme City?
“I would like to invite Mr Billy to visit the Imperial City. I wonder if Mr Billy is available?” Nelson Morris continued.
“Do you take us for fools?” Azure Dragon interjected. “You want my big brother to go to your Imperial City, and then what? Can he even come back?”
“Sir, you are joking,” Nelson Morris smiled. “Inviting Mr Billy to the Imperial City is purely…”
“Azure Dragon, walk him out!” Billy’s deep voice interrupted him.
He wasn’t in the mood to beat around the bush with the other party. Get to the point if there’s something to discuss, otherwise, just leave!
“Hmm?” The black-robed elder across the table furrowed his brows slightly.
“What, thinking of making a move?” Azure Fang said after sensing the chill emanating from him.
The elder glanced at him but didn’t pay him any heed. Perhaps, in his view, someone like Azure Fang didn’t even qualify to provoke him.
“Esteemed Prince Nelson, please!” Azure Dragon made a gesture to see the guest off.
“Mr Billy comes from outside the Forbidden Ruins Space. I wonder if you have heard of the Forbidden Phantom Valley?” Nelson Morris continued without minding Billy’s attitude.
“Forbidden Phantom Valley?” Billy was slightly stunned. “Where is that?”
“In the Forbidden Ruins Space, there are many daunting places, but only four are truly considered forbidden lands,” Nelson Morris spoke again.
“These four places are collectively known as the Four Forbidden Lands of the Forbidden Ruins Space, and the Forbidden Phantom Valley is one of them.”
At this point, it seemed like he remembered something and added, “By the way, Mr Billy, you should have entered its outskirts before!”
“The Misty Forest?” Upon hearing his words, images of the fog-shrouded forest immediately surfaced in Billy’s mind.
“Exactly!” Nelson Morris nodded with a smile.
“What! The Misty Forest is one of the Four Forbidden Lands?” Stout exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Casey, Azure Dragon, and the others were equally stunned.
No wonder Boss sensed the presence of a seventh-rank divine beast at that time. So, it was the outskirts of a forbidden land?
“If it’s a forbidden land, why are there so many people going in to hunt ferocious beasts?” Azure Dragon asked.
“That’s because they only operate on the outskirts, so there’s not much risk,” Nelson Morris smiled again.
“The true forbidden area lies in the core region of that Misty Forest, a place most people don’t even know exists.”
“Really?” Stout asked again. “Apart from high-rank ferocious beasts, what else is there inside?”
“I’m not sure about the specifics,” Nelson Morris shook his head.
“From what I understand, very few people can enter the core region, and even if someone does, not many come out alive.”
“Alright then,” Stout shrugged.
“What about the Forbidden Phantom Valley you mentioned earlier?” Azure Dragon asked again.
“That’s a ruined space existing underground!” Nelson Morris said with a hint of seriousness.
“It contains a large amount of cultivation resources and secret techniques. It is said to also hold the inheritance of strong individuals at the late-stage Divine Realm.”
“Do you think we’re fools?” Azure Dragon glanced at him.
“If such a place really exists, would there still be things left inside?”
“If it were just an ordinary place, those things would be indeed gone,” Nelson Morris responded again.
“However, no one can freely enter or exit the Forbidden Phantom Valley until a specific time.”
“What do you mean?” Vermilion Bird asked beside him.
