“What’s it?” Billy asked.
“The old master asked me to tell you not to waste time and energy studying the array in the Forbidden Ruins Space,” Stephanie Stuart responded.
“Huh?” Billy was puzzled, “Did the old master say why?”
“No!” Stephanie Stuart shook her head.
“He just told me to tell you not to waste your energy on it, it’s meaningless.”
“And, I can feel that the old master is very serious when he talks about this, as if he is vaguely fearing something.”
“Did the old master say anything else?” Billy asked again after a moment of confusion.
“He didn’t say anything else,” Stephanie Stuart shook her head again.
“Mom, do you remember the young master of Star Moon Sect who went from Forbidden Ruins Space to Angel City?” Billy abruptly asked.
“The one named Nolan Ochoa?” Stephanie Stuart replied after a moment of thought.
“Yes!” Billy nodded.
“He was able to get out of the Forbidden Ruins Space with the help of someone named ‘Crazy Beggar’.”
“Later, I had Mr Thompson help me find ‘Crazy Beggar’.”
After that, he described ‘Crazy Beggar’ to his mother.
“Huh?” After listening to Billy’s words, Stephanie Stuart was also puzzled, “Is there someone maintaining that array in the Forbidden Ruins Space?”
“Most likely!” Billy nodded.
“Billy, do you suspect that the old master is related to those people?” Stephanie Stuart continued.
“Before, I just had some guesses, but now it seems highly possible!” Billy nodded again.
“Otherwise, the old master wouldn’t have specifically told me not to study it.”
“If your guess is correct, then this Forbidden Ruins Space is likely far more complex than what we see now,” Stephanie Stuart speculated thoughtfully.
“Otherwise, the old master wouldn’t be so wary!”
“Yeah!” A hint of seriousness flashed across Billy’s face.
This was also what he was worried about!
If the old master is really related to the people guarding the array.
That would mean that the array in the Forbidden Ruins Space is likely not just to block people from the Four Great Empires from entering the outside world.
After all, from the information currently known, including people from the Four Great Empires and the two super sects, the strongest ones are probably only at the mid to late stages of the Sacred Realm.
This level of strength is definitely not enough to make the old master worry!
Although he didn’t know the specific cultivation level of the old master, he was sure that it was definitely above the Sacred Realm!
In other words, there may very well be powerhouses above the Sacred Realm inside this Forbidden Ruins Space!
Moreover, this also indicates another problem, that there may be hidden forces unknown to outsiders in the Forbidden Ruins Space!
Just thinking about it gives him a headache!
“Boss, Elder Sol wants you to go see him.”
Just then, White Tiger walked in from the main courtyard gate.
These days, while everyone was practicing, they occasionally went out to see what kind of people came to join Skydragon City.
“What’s the matter?” Billy asked.
“Today, a kid came from somewhere, very eerie, very strong!” White Tiger replied.
“He’s thirty-five or thirty-six years old, at the eighth-rank Divine Realm, but his actual combat power is enough to contend with the half-step Sacred Realm. Mr Kimmons fought him and was slightly inferior.”
“Oh?” Billy was slightly surprised.
Thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with half-step Sacred Realm combat power, is comparable to Tristen George, definitely not an ordinary person.
“Did he say anything?” Stephanie Stuart asked.
“According to Elder Sol, he seems to have been attracted here by Boss’s fame,” White Tiger continued.
“But he has only one purpose, which is to see the Boss and have a fair fight with him.”
“If Boss can defeat him, he is willing to submit, and he also has a big gift to give to Boss, saying that Boss will definitely like it!”
“On the other hand, if Boss loses, he said he would dismantle the gate of Skydragon City.”
“Is that so?” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Then let’s go see.”
Shortly after, Billy, Stephanie Stuart, and White Tiger soared into the sky. About ten minutes later, the three arrived at a vast square in the center of the city.
This square was specially constructed by Marquise Thompson under Billy’s instructions, covering an area of about four to five hundred thousand square meters, and would serve as the activity center of Skydragon City in the future.
In recent days, Skydragon City had been selecting candidates for its guard, so ten platforms were temporarily set up in the square for martial artists to practice.
After landing on the ground, the trio looked around and saw thousands of people crowded around one of the platforms in the center of the square.
On the platform, a young man stood in the center. He had an ordinary appearance with a stubble on his chin, and his face showed little expression. A large, ancient-looking knife was strapped to his back.
Facing him was Casey, with a slightly solemn expression.
The two had exchanged a few moves before, with Casey slightly falling behind. Although he hadn’t exerted his full strength, he knew the other party was also holding back. If both sides went all out, Casey still didn’t have much chance of winning.
“You’re not bad!” the young man said to Casey, “Give yourself another year, and I won’t be your match!”
“Heh, thanks for the compliment!” Casey replied with a faint smile.
Need a year? Perhaps a month would suffice!
“Right now, you’re not my opponent, call your boss!” the young man continued.
“You’d better leave!” Casey responded, “Not to put you down, but you’re not my boss’s match!”
“I don’t retreat without a fight, it’s not my style!” the young man continued firmly, “I came here today specifically to challenge him. Until I see him, I won’t leave!”
“In that case, you’ll just have to wait!” Casey shrugged.
“Mrs Stuart and Mr Billy are here!”
Just then, someone in the crowd shouted.
Although Stephanie Stuart hadn’t been in Skydragon City for long, she had already gained considerable prestige. This was not only because she was Billy’s mother, or because her cultivation was formidable, but because of her personal charm.
Since arriving in Skydragon City, she had been busy assisting Marquise Thompson and Isaac Herring, interacting with many people. Everyone felt no airs about her; she was gentle in demeanor, fair in dealings, and highly admirable.
Upon hearing the voice in the crowd, everyone turned to look.
“Greetings, Mrs Stuart, and Mr Billy!” Everyone bowed simultaneously, then made a way for her.
“No need for formalities, everyone!” Stephanie Stuart smiled around.
Before long, Billy and the others arrived beneath the platform.
“Mrs Stuart, Mr Billy!” Marquise Thompson and Isaac Herring greeted them.
“Boss!” Judge and Soul Chaser, who were watching the scene, also approached.
“Why aren’t you two practicing in the courtyard, instead of coming here?” Billy glanced at them.
“Hehe, we’re just here to see the excitement with Mr Kimmons,” Judge grinned.
“You two are asking for detention!” Billy glared at them.
After saying this, he lifted his foot and walked towards the platform.
