“Is it true?” Stout and Judge exclaimed simultaneously.
One day here equals ten days outside. After a month, wouldn’t it be almost equivalent to a year of cultivation outside?
Just thinking about it was exhilarating!
“Of course, it’s true!” Ivy responded.
After a slight pause, she continued with a slightly serious tone.
“The Gathering Spirit Array is something that all martial artists dream of. This matter absolutely cannot be leaked, otherwise it will undoubtedly bring us immense trouble!”
“Understood!” Everyone nodded simultaneously.
They didn’t need Ivy’s reminder; everyone was well aware of the situation.
The value of the Gathering Spirit Array far surpassed that of cultivation resources like spirit fruits and spirit stones!
More importantly, it was an endless resource!
As long as there were enough spirit stones, the Gathering Spirit Array could keep running indefinitely.
If this news got out, it would surely cause a huge stir in the Forbidden Ruins Space!
“Stout, take out some of the things you brought back from the Forbidden Phantom Valley and distribute them to everyone,” Billy instructed Stout.
“Starting today, all of you will enter the Gathering Spirit Array to cultivate and elevate your cultivation as quickly as possible.”
“Okay!” Stout nodded in response.
“Mom, Aunt Edie, and Elder Sol, don’t worry about the city construction for now. Join everyone in cultivation!” Billy continued, addressing Stephanie Stuart.
“Sure!” Stephanie Stuart smiled and nodded.
For the next five or six days, everyone focused solely on cultivation in the Gathering Spirit Array.
Spending five or six days inside was almost equivalent to a month of cultivation outside, combined with the high-level cultivation resources brought back from the Forbidden Phantom Valley.
As expected, without any suspense, except for Billy, everyone, including Stephanie Stuart, advanced by one level in their cultivation.
On this morning, after coming out of the Gathering Spirit Array, everyone gathered on the lawn of the manor and chatted.
“Boss, should we go to the Rainbow Moon Imperial City again?” Azure Dragon asked Billy. The matter of Nelson Morris hadn’t been resolved yet, and the anger in everyone’s hearts hadn’t been vented.
“Let’s wait a bit longer!” Billy responded after a moment of thought. “If nothing unexpected happens, Siena Morris should come to Extreme City. We’ll decide when she arrives.”
“Boss, what about the situation with Sheardal Empire and the Crimson Flame Empire?” Vermilion Bird asked.
Just then, urgent footsteps sounded at the entrance of the estate.
Soon, Marquise Thompson and his group hurried in, each with a serious expression on their faces.
“Mr Thompson, what’s the matter?” Billy went up to greet them.
“Mr Billy, something has happened!” Marquise Thompson said urgently. “Our people planted in Sheardal Empire just sent back news. They said Sheardal Empire has assembled nearly a thousand people to come to Extreme City.”
“It is said that their goal this time is to swallow the entire Extreme City and make it a subsidiary capital of theirs.”
“Hmm?” Billy furrowed his brows slightly. “Is the information accurate?”
“It shouldn’t be wrong!” Marquise Thompson responded. “Last time, according to your instructions, I planted people in the imperial cities of the four major empires. If there are any major movements in the imperial palaces, they will inform me immediately.”
“They’re really asking for trouble. We haven’t even gone to settle the score with them, yet they’re actively seeking death!” White Tiger remarked.
“Mr Thompson, do you know the strength of the high-end forces among these thousand people?” Stephanie Stuart asked Marquise Thompson with a slight frown.
“I’m not very clear on the specifics, but I have a general idea,” Marquise Thompson replied. “The leader is the prince of Sheardal Empire, Aldo Henderson, with cultivation at the first-rank Sacred Realm. Apart from him, there are two half-step Sacred Realm experts, four ninth-rank Divine Realm, six eighth-rank Divine Realm, and another twenty or so mid-stage Divine Realm individuals.”
“It’s quite a lineup!” Stephanie Stuart frowned slightly.
“Indeed!” Marquise Thompson nodded. “It seems they’re determined to take down our Extreme City!”
“How long until they arrive?” Billy asked.
“If nothing unexpected happens, they should reach Extreme City around three to four in the afternoon,” Marquise Thompson replied.
“Mr Billy, do you have any plans? They’re coming aggressively this time, and I’m worried…”
“Mr Thompson, don’t worry, it’s fine!” Billy interrupted him, “Go back and discuss with Elder Isaac, pick out two hundred men!”
“Mr Billy, the other side has nearly a thousand people, wouldn’t it be too few to send only two hundred?” Marquise Thompson was slightly taken aback.
In his opinion, even sending twenty thousand might not be enough to contend with them!
But Billy actually only asked him to assemble two hundred people, wasn’t that a bit too arrogant?
“Two hundred is enough!” Billy responded.
“In this kind of battle, victory doesn’t depend on the number of people. Picking two hundred is just to prevent their people from entering the city and harming the ordinary citizens.”
“Well… okay then!” Marquise Thompson saw that Billy had made up his mind and didn’t say anything more.
After giving a few more instructions, Marquise Thompson led the men away quickly.
“Billy, the Sacred Realm is not to be underestimated, are you sure?” After Marquise Thompson left, Edie Fennimore looked at Billy and said.
“We can try!” Billy smiled and responded.
More than twenty days ago, when he was at the seventh-rank Divine Realm, he was already able to withstand Cyrus Morris’ full force attack.
After breaking through to the eighth rank, he believed that he absolutely had a chance in battle!
“Billy, don’t be careless. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll join forces with you!” Stephanie Stuart’s face flashed with seriousness.
“Mom, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.” Billy smiled again.
At noon, Billy appeared on a large grassland outside Cold City with two hundred people.
Cold City is a city under Sheardal Empire, located at the border between Sheardal Empire and Extreme City.
For Billy, he naturally wouldn’t put the main battlefield in Extreme City, after all, this level of warfare could easily destroy half a city by accident.
And according to intelligence, two-thirds of the nearly thousand people on the other side were below the Saint realm.
With so many people coming from Sheardal Empire Imperial City to Extreme City, they could only ride horses or war chariots, and Cold City was their only way.
“Mr Thompson, you and Elder Isaac each take a hundred men to guard the two horse paths!” Billy pointed to two wide roads not far behind him.
“Do not let any Sheardal Empire people enter the territory of Extreme City!”
“Mr Billy, are you saying we don’t need to participate in the battle?” Marquise Thompson was slightly surprised.
Isaac Herring beside him was equally stunned.
They had already thought it was very risky to come and ambush nearly a thousand people with only two hundred.
But now, according to Billy, they weren’t even planning to use these two hundred?
What was going on? Was he really that confident?
“No need to make meaningless sacrifices!” Billy nodded in response.
“Mr Billy, but you only have around two hundred people…” Isaac Herring spoke up.
“It’s fine!” Billy smiled and interrupted him.
“Well then!” The two didn’t insist any further.
“Ivy, let’s begin!” Then, Billy got busy with everyone.
Obviously, he was going to set up an array here!
With his current cultivation level, it was not difficult for him to spend a few hours setting up an attack array!
“Boss, the people from Sheardal Empire should have arrived!”
Around four o’clock in the afternoon, Casey raised his eyebrows slightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong and formidable pressure swept over the sky, covering everything.
