“What’s the trouble?” Billy asked with a slight frown.
“The Millennium Phoenix Feather Fruit has always been a priceless treasure, and tomorrow’s auction will surely be intense!” Boyce Walkley responded.
“As far as I know, the Crimson Flame Empire has sent two waves of people to Desire City. It’s certain that they’re also here for the Millennium Phoenix Feather Fruit!”
“The Crimson Flame Empire has also sent people?” Azure Fang furrowed his brows slightly. “Do you know who they are specifically?”
“I haven’t found out yet!” Boyce Walkley shook his head. “But, we can probably guess.”
“Elder Boyce means the imperial family or people from those two super sects?” Harleen asked.
“Exactly!” Boyce Walkley nodded.
“Among these three forces, each has a divine-grade alchemist. The Millennium Phoenix Feather Fruit is extremely attractive to them!”
“Understood!” Harleen nodded.
“Elder Boyce, does the Wind Rain Sect have alchemists of ninth grade or above?” Billy suddenly asked.
“Yes!” Boyce Walkley responded.
“The Wind Rain Sect’s Elder, who is also in charge of the Medicine Hall, is a ninth-grade alchemist, and the sect master of the Wind Rain Sect is a sovereign-grade alchemist!”
“Since the Millennium Phoenix Feather Fruit is so precious, why doesn’t the Wind Rain Sect keep it for themselves and instead put it up for auction?” Billy pondered.
“Short of money?” Stout chimed in naturally.
Boyce Walkley was choked by his saliva for a moment, then cleared his throat and continued, “I’ve also puzzled over this question. The Millennium Phoenix Feather Fruit has miraculous effects on various injuries.”
“The various healing pills made from it as the core material are absolutely coveted by countless martial artists, and the price is bound to be much higher than directly buying spirit fruits.”
“So, it shouldn’t be for the spirit stones!”
“Yeah!” Billy nodded slightly. “We’ll know when we go to the scene tomorrow!”
After chatting for a while, Billy and his group bid farewell and agreed to meet at the Medicine Hall’s entrance tomorrow morning.
Boyce Walkley wanted to treat Billy’s group to a meal, but was politely refused by Billy.
“Billy, somebody is watching us!” After a short while of walking on the street, Ivy spoke up.
“It’s most likely people from the Blazing Sun Sect!” Azure Fang looked at Billy and said, “Boss, should we take care of them?”
“No need!” Billy shook his head. “Let’s find a place to eat first.”
“Alright!” Azure Fang nodded in response.
Soon, they arrived at a restaurant about four or five kilometers away from the hotel.
During the meal, although Harleen and Ivy attracted the attention of many diners, they managed to finish their meal relatively smoothly.
After paying the bill, they headed back to the hotel.
“Boss, the people from the Blazing Sun Sect are probably about to make a move!” Just as they reached a slightly open area, Casey narrowed her eyes.
“Yeah!” Billy nodded.
Before he could finish his sentence, a powerful pressure enveloped them, indicating formidable cultivation.
Soon after, a group of forty to fifty people emerged from a corner not far away.
At the forefront were two middle-aged men.
The one on the left, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was the Sect Master of the Blazing Sun Sect, Desmond Dunbar, at the half-step Sacred Realm!
The other old man, dressed in gray, was thin and bony, with deep and sharp eyes, emanating a fierce aura.
His cultivation was not weak, at the third-rank Sacred Realm!
Following behind the three of them was the Young Master of the Blazing Sun Sect, Eden Dunbar.
Among the group, four or five individuals had formidable cultivations, with the strongest being at the first-rank Sacred Realm, while the others were at the mid to late stage of the Divine Realm.
“Father, it’s them!” When the opposing group stopped about a hundred meters away, Eden Dunbar pointed at Billy and gritted his teeth.
“Friends, state your names!” Desmond Dunbar looked at Billy and spoke in a deep voice.
“Are you the Sect Master of the Blazing Sun Sect?” Billy glanced at him and then looked at the old man in gray.
“If I’m not mistaken, you should be from the Crimson Flame Empire, right?”
The Blazing Sun Sect was the second-ranked sect in Desire City. Although it was a top sect, it wouldn’t have experts at the Sacred Realm.
So obviously, the other party couldn’t be from the Blazing Sun Sect.
Considering what Boyce Walkley had said earlier about the Blazing Sun Sect relying on the Crimson Flame Empire, it was obvious that the other party must be from there.
The old man didn’t answer Billy’s question, but his gaze lingered on Billy for a while, seeming somewhat familiar.
“You scoundrel! Sect Master is asking you a question, are you deaf? You…” A man from the opposing side took a few steps forward and shouted angrily.
Before he could finish, Azure Fang unleashed a blade aura towards him.
“Insolence!” The first-rank Sacred Realm expert behind the old man in gray frowned, and with a wave of his hand, he sent out a powerful force to block Azure Fang’s attack.
“If you make another move, you die!” the first-rank Sacred Realm expert said coldly.
“Then let’s fight!” Azure Fang responded with a deep voice, ready to attack.
With his current ninth-rank Divine Realm strength and all his cards on the table, he might not necessarily lose to a first-rank Sacred Realm expert.
“Azure Fang!” Billy stopped him.
Azure Fang nodded slightly and stepped back to the side.
“Speak up, what do you want by intercepting us?” Billy looked at Desmond Dunbar and asked calmly.
“What do you think?” Desmond Dunbar responded in a deep voice. “You injured my Blazing Sun Sect members on Blazing Sun Sect’s territory. What do you think we want?”
“Do you want to cripple us, or do you want to kill us directly?” Billy asked again.
“You seem very confident in yourself?” Desmond Dunbar replied.
After a pause, he changed the topic, “I’ll give you a chance. The man can cripple his cultivation, and the woman can come with us. We can let this matter slide.”
“It’s truly digging one’s own grave. No one can stop it!” Stout sighed as if resigned.
“You’ve lived for so many years, don’t you understand such a simple truth as ‘misfortune comes from careless talk’?”
“Do you know, just because of your momentary impulsiveness, starting from tomorrow, the Blazing Sun Sect will have to disappear from Desire City!”
He had been with the Boss for so long, and he knew Boss’s temper very well.
Just now, when Boss deliberately asked how the other party wanted to resolve the matter, he was actually giving them a chance to save their lives.
After all, what happened at the alchemy shop before, although the other party’s behavior deserved a beating, it didn’t warrant death.
But now, Desmond Dunbar actually said such words, he was definitely asking for it.
Especially since the other party intended to take Harleen and his sister away, it was even more unforgivable!
“Are you going to do it yourself, or do you want us to help you?” Desmond Dunbar glanced dismissively at Stout and then continued to look at Billy.
In his view, Stout was just a lunatic, spouting nonsense, so he naturally didn’t take it seriously.
“Are you thinking my brother is talking nonsense?” Billy replied indifferently.
“Do you want to tell me that you really intend to let the Blazing Sun Sect disappear from Desire City starting tomorrow?” Desmond Dunbar snorted.
“Congratulations, you’re right!” Billy chuckled lightly.
