“Soul Chaser, you seem to enjoy the spectacle!” Alex Long chuckled.
“Even if that Rose could let him leave, judging by the temperament of that princess, she probably won’t let it go easily,” Felicia remarked.
“Although he’s not weak, there are definitely ninth-rank Divine Realm experts in the palace, dealing with him would be easy.”
“He’ll be fine!” Casey chuckled.
“If everything goes as expected, he should have been invited by one of the two princes to the imperial city.”
“After this incident spreads to the palace, the prince who invited him will definitely intervene.”
“That’s for sure!” Felicia nodded slightly.
“Boss, do you think Nelson Morris might be deceiving us?” At this moment, White Tiger looked at Billy and asked.
“He lured us to Rainbow Moon Imperial City with the Forbidden Phantom Valley incident, and then plans to wipe us out?”
“He shouldn’t.” Ivy responded from the side.
“If the Rainbow Moon Royal Family really wanted to deal with us, they wouldn’t go through this trouble, they’d just send experts to Extreme City.”
“With the power of their imperial city, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to deal with us if they wanted to.”
“But, after all, we’ve wiped out the Wind Swift Royal Family, wouldn’t they care at all?” White Tiger continued.
“They definitely care!” Billy responded, “It’s just that, for now, they won’t act against us.”
“Why are you so sure, Boss?” Vermilion Bird asked.
“Forbidden Phantom Valley opens once every fifty years, it’s a big deal for the Four Great Empires!” Billy explained.
“It is said that in the hundreds of years before this, every time Forbidden Phantom Valley opened, it had a significant impact on the balance of power among the Four Great Empires.”
“What does that mean?” Vermilion Bird blinked, and the others looked curious.
“The reason the Four Great Empires value Forbidden Phantom Valley so much is not for its natural treasures,” Billy continued.
“Their main goal is the inheritance of powerful individuals inside!”
“The reason why Crimson Flame Empire can sit firmly at the top of the Four Great Empires is largely related to this.”
“So, for the Four Great Empires, compared to Forbidden Phantom Valley, anything else can be put on hold for the time being.”
“After all, this concerns the rise and fall of the empire.”
These things were naturally informed to him by Zak Callahan and Marquise Thompson.
It was precisely because he understood this information that he dared to bring everyone to Rainbow Moon Imperial City.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to take such a risk!
“Really?” White Tiger exclaimed.
“Yeah!” Billy nodded.
“Boss, there’s another question.” After a moment of thought, Night Orchid spoke up.
“If we really obtain some inheritance in Forbidden Phantom Valley, should we give it to the Rainbow Moon Royal Family?”
“And besides, will they turn on us when the time comes?”
“That possibility cannot be ruled out!” Billy nodded in response.
“However, for us, this is a great opportunity. Although there are risks, it’s worth a try!”
“And even if we don’t accept Nelson Morris’ invitation, hiding in Extreme City all the time isn’t a solution. If the royal family really wants to deal with us, we won’t stand a chance.”
“Understood!” Everyone nodded solemnly.
The future is full of uncertainties, and who will be the ultimate winner is still unknown!
“Boss, where are we going now?” When they arrived on the main street, Judge looked at Billy and asked.
“Let’s just wander around the imperial city for now!” Billy paused and said.
“Nelson Morris should soon know that we’ve arrived in the imperial city. Let’s wander around for a while and then go to the hotel to wait for him.”
“Okay!” Everyone responded simultaneously.
Then, they aimlessly wandered around the imperial city. Around five in the afternoon, they returned to the hotel.
Just as they reached the entrance of the hotel, an old man in a black robe got off a carriage parked nearby.
He was the eighth-rank Divine Realm expert who had accompanied Nelson Morris to Extreme City last time.
“Mr Billy, hello!” The old man approached and bowed slightly.
“Hello!” Billy responded with a faint smile.
“Mr Billy, Prince Nelson heard that you arrived in the imperial city, so he specially sent me to escort you to the palace.” The old man named Hank Cantu bowed again.
“Prince Nelson was summoned by the emperor and couldn’t personally come to greet Mr Billy, please forgive him.”
“No problem,” Billy replied, “Let’s go!”
“Please, Mr Billy,” Hank Cantu made a respectful gesture.
Soon, they got on the carriage and headed towards the direction of the palace.
After about an hour, the carriage entered the palace compound.
Billy and his companions looked around, and it was indeed the imperial palace compound of one of the four empires in the Forbidden Ruins Space.
Compared to the palaces of the Wind Swift Kingdom and Tengamine Kingdom, this place was much more magnificent.
“Mr Billy, we’ve arrived, please get off the carriage!” Shortly after, the carriage stopped at the entrance of a side courtyard, and Hank Cantu stood up and said.
After getting off the carriage, they walked into the courtyard.
Billy and his companions looked around; there were ponds with springs, rocks piled into mountains, winding corridors, all very picturesque.
A few minutes later, Hank Cantu led them to a grand hall with intricate carvings and paintings.
As they looked around, they saw many people standing in groups outside the hall, chatting casually. Inside the hall, there were also many men and women seated.
There were about fifty to sixty people in total, dressed differently, but all seemed to have decent cultivation levels.
The strongest among them was a man in his forties, with a cultivation level of the sixth-rank Divine Realm.
“Elder Hank, are they all the people Prince Nelson invited to go to the Forbidden Phantom Valley with him?” Judge asked Hank Cantu.
“Not all of them,” Hank Cantu shook his head, “But I’m not very clear on exactly who they are.”
After saying that, he turned to Billy, “Mr Billy, please rest here for a moment, Prince Nelson should be here soon.”
“Alright!” Billy nodded in response.
Then, Hank Cantu left.
Seeing the commotion here, everyone at the scene looked over, and when they saw Harleen and Ivy and their group, many eyes flashed with curiosity.
“Boss, Nelson Morris must be deliberate, right?” Soul Chaser glanced at the crowd ahead and spoke.
“He arranged everyone here but doesn’t show up himself, there must be another plan,” Stout replied in agreement.
“Let’s find a place to sit,” Billy said lightly, heading towards the hall.
Since they were here, they might as well make themselves comfortable. As for Nelson Morris’s intentions, he wasn’t interested in guessing.
“Ladies, were you also invited by Prince Nelson?” As they took a few steps, a man accompanied by two others approached, his eyes lingering on Harleen and her group.
“Excuse us,” Ivy glanced at him.
“Miss, we might work together, let’s be friends,” the man’s Adam’s apple moved as he spoke.
“Let me introduce myself first, my full name is Anthony Parry. I’m from a top sect…”
“Sorry, not interested!” Ivy interrupted him coldly.
“Why reject me, beauty?” Anthony Parry said, pointing at Billy and his group. “Forbidden Phantom Valley is full of uncertainties and dangers. Relying solely on them might not keep you safe. If you’re willing, I could…”
“If you don’t want to die, then get lost!” Ian Blade spoke in a deep voice.
“Huh?” Anthony Parry was momentarily stunned.
“Kid, do you have a death wish, talking to the young master like this?” A follower behind Anthony Parry spoke angrily.
“I’ll say it one last time, if you don’t want to die, get lost now!” Ian Blade exuded a murderous intent.
