“Finally found it. If we hadn’t found it, I was about to head back!” Judge let out a sigh of relief.
“This place is really hard to find!” Soul Chaser responded.
“It’s not easy to find it at all,” Nelson Morris chuckled.
“Many people come to this Forbidden Phantom Valley and lose their lives without even seeing what the city looks like.”
“And then there are others who, even though they didn’t lose their lives, spent a month wandering inside this Forbidden Phantom Valley without finding it.”
“Well then!” Judge and Soul Chaser shrugged.
Compared to those people, they were indeed lucky.
“Let’s go, let’s go see the city!” Billy said, leading the way towards the city.
“Prince Nelson, are you sure there’s really a legacy of powerful individuals here?” White Tiger asked as they walked.
“Yeah!” Nelson Morris nodded. “People who have entered before have already verified it.”
“Although not every time Forbidden Phantom Valley opens will someone obtain the legacy, there have indeed been people who have gained great opportunities here.”
“Alright!” White Tiger shrugged and continued, “But, with this city so big, even if there is a legacy, who knows where to find it?”
“Most of the places in the city have been searched by those who came before, and even if there were treasures, they’ve probably already been taken,” Nelson Morris responded.
“It is said that the northeast corner of the city should be where their former imperial palace was located. We can go there and take a look.”
“Boss, are we going directly to the place Prince Nelson mentioned?”
Ten minutes later, the group arrived at the gate of the city. Azure Dragon looked at Billy and asked.
“Let’s go!” Billy nodded in response.
“Okay!” After the response, the group headed towards the northeast direction of the city.
Along the way, they looked around. From the current scene, it seemed that the city had existed for at least hundreds or thousands of years.
Most of the buildings inside had collapsed, and from the traces, most of them seemed to have been deliberately destroyed.
Even the most sturdy buildings appeared fragile before martial artists in the Divine Realm. Just the residual waves of Chi power could destroy any house.
“Boss, someone’s coming!”
Not long after they set off, Casey frowned slightly and spoke.
Thud… Before Casey could finish speaking, the sound of footsteps rang out, followed by a group of men and women approaching, each exuding a strong killing intent.
“Mr Henderson, it’s him!”
After arriving about dozens of meters away, a man pointed at Billy and said to the leader, a man in his forties wearing a black robe, in a deep voice.
“I saw this kid with my own eyes cut off Prince Nelson’s leg, ultimately leading to Prince Nelson dying at the hands of that woman from Ice Cloud Empire!”
“People from Sheardal Empire?” Casey glanced at them and asked indifferently.
Billy had already told the story of what happened with Sheardal Empire’s Prince Karsen Henderson to everyone, so Casey naturally guessed the identity of these people.
“What do you intend to explain to us?” The man in the black robe ignored Casey and stared coldly at Billy.
“What kind of explanation do you want?” Azure Dragon replied to the man.
“You should kill yourself!” The man in the black robe continued to look at Billy coldly. “Kill yourself, and I’ll let the others go!”
“You’re really foolish!” Ian Blade glanced at the man and then looked at Billy. “Boss, should we kill them all?”
“Do you want to avenge your Prince Karsen?” Billy didn’t directly answer Ian Blade’s question, looking at the man and asking.
“What do you think?” The man in the black robe responded.
“Then I’ll give you a chance!” Billy said, “As long as you can take my blow, I’ll give up my cultivation and let you do whatever you want!”
“Really arrogant!” The man in the black robe’s tone became heavy. “I’ll soon let you know what the price of arrogance is!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his aura soared instantly, revealing his late-stage sixth-rank Divine Realm cultivation.
“Dare to hurt our Sheardal Empire’s Prince Karsen, give me your life!”
Then, without hesitation, he continued in a deep voice, wielding his large blade into the air, forming his strongest move and attacking Billy.
For a moment, the air around them surged wildly, fierce winds rose, and the formidable pressure enveloped everyone.
The others from Sheardal Empire couldn’t help but retreat tens of meters away.
“Is that all you’ve got?” Faced with the full force of the black-robed man’s attack, Billy stood still without any intention of dodging.
“Just with this strength, you want revenge for your Prince Nelson? That’s too far-fetched!”
Swish! As the words fell, the Bloodshadow Fury Blade in his hand unleashed a curved blade aura in response.
He was now at the fifth-rank Divine Realm cultivation, and with the activation of his bloodline power, he was on par with his opponent.
To kill him was as easy as flipping his hand, without needing any trump cards.
As expected, the blade aura went directly through the man’s body as if it entered an empty space.
Next moment, a bloodline appeared at the waist of the black-robed man, blood spurting out.
Thud! Shortly after, the man fell heavily from mid-air, his mouth agape but no sound came out, his legs twitching with no breath.
Witnessing this scene, the men and women of Sheardal Empire collectively froze.
A sixth-rank Divine Realm powerhouse was easily cut down by a casual blow?
Was it really that exaggerated?
They were still thinking about avenging Prince Nelson, this was simply outrageous!
“Run!” Soon, a woman shouted loudly.
They, with their highest cultivation being only at the fourth-rank Divine Realm, dared not stay any longer.
Whoosh! Hearing her words, a dozen or so men and women fled in all directions.
However, they had obviously underestimated the situation. Casey, Harleen, and the others had been keeping an eye on them. As soon as they ran out, they all fell down.
For those who sought their lives, they naturally wouldn’t show any mercy.
The law of the jungle prevailed; if Billy’s strength wasn’t on par with that of the black-robed elder from before, they would’ve been the ones dead.
“Have mercy…”
The three remaining men and women knelt on the ground, struggling to beg for mercy.
One of them pointed to a fallen bag not far away.
“That… inside are some treasures we found. If you let us go, all those things are yours…”
“Are you suggesting that if we kill you, you’ll take those things to the King of Hell?” Azure Dragon replied, quite speechless.
“Please… please spare me…” The man kowtowed vigorously.
“What about the others from your Sheardal Empire?” Billy asked calmly.
“T… there’s no one else…” The man responded tremblingly.
“After we entered, we encountered a wave of beasts shortly after. Although not very large in scale, many of them were mid-tier divine beasts. Out of a hundred of us, only fifty or sixty managed to escape…”
“Beast wave?” Azure Dragon was slightly stunned.
Casey and the others, upon hearing this, also showed a hint of surprise on their faces.
Originally, they thought their luck was really bad, encountering so many inexplicable beasts on the way.
But now, hearing what the man said, they felt a bit fortunate.
“Yes!” The man nodded.
“After the beast tide, I encountered several attacks from divine beasts, and many people died. Before encountering the tornado, there were less than forty people left. Now, apart from us, those twenty or so people should be in a dire situation…”
What he didn’t know was that most of those twenty or so people he mentioned had already died at the hands of Billy and his group.
“Alright, let’s send you to accompany your Prince Karsen!” Azure Dragon continued.
“N… no…” One of the women hurriedly kowtowed.
“A… as long as you spare us, I’ll tell you an important piece of information…”
