Aubree’s words just now were naturally something Billy had thought of a long time ago. Although he had only met the other party twice, he could still sense their character. However, even so, he was not at ease letting Harleen and Ivy go with the other party like this. After all, a year is too long, and no one can guarantee if any accidents will happen along the way.
“A year is just my estimate!” Aubree responded after a moment of thought. “I can’t confirm the exact time with you now, maybe longer, or maybe shorter.”
“Can we visit them halfway?” Billy continued to ask.
“No!” Aubree responded decisively. “Why?” Billy frowned slightly.
“Because you don’t know where we are!” Aubree spoke again.
“Uh, could you just tell us then?” Stout’s mouth twitched several times.
“Telling you won’t help!” Aubree responded indifferently. “Without our guidance, you won’t be able to reach that place.”
“What do you mean?” Azure Dragon asked.
“I can’t tell you too much right now, you won’t understand,” Aubree continued. “Maybe in about half a year, you will know.”
“Billy, why don’t Harleen and I go with Aubree?” Ivy looked at Billy and spoke after some consideration.
“Honey, Aubree should not deceive us!” Harleen spoke at the same time. “And I will be with Ivy, so nothing should happen!”
For the two of them, they actually didn’t want to leave. Over the past two years, they have basically been together all the time. Suddenly, having to separate for a year naturally caused them a lot of reluctance. But Aubree’s words before made them quite emotional.
Throughout this journey, they indeed felt that they were often a burden to Billy.
Just like the situation today, not only were they unable to help, but they also became a burden to Billy.
If spending a year could make the two of them grow to a level where they could truly be of help to Billy, they were willing to endure the pain of separation.
“When do we leave?” Billy furrowed his brows and asked Aubree.
“In ten days,” Aubree replied.
“Alright!” Billy took a deep breath and said, “In ten days, meet us in Skydragon City!”
“Okay!” Aubree’s face showed a rare hint of warmth.
After saying that, she pointed at Leandro Gonzalez and Gilbert Drake and asked, “How do you plan to deal with them?”
“Casey, disable Leandro Gonzalez’s cultivation and leave him alive; kill the others,” Billy instructed. He naturally wouldn’t show mercy to those who wanted to take his life.
“Got it!” Casey responded before walking over with a knife. By this time, Leandro Gonzalez and the others were all restrained by Aubree.
After hearing Billy’s words, the fear in the eyes of Leandro Gonzalez and the others intensified. They wanted to plead for mercy, but they couldn’t make a sound.
At the next moment, Casey’s wrist flipped, and several knife lights shot out swiftly, passing through the throats of Gilbert Drake and Darren Gonzalez, and blood spurted out. The faces of the few people were filled with strong unwillingness.
Each of their people was a top figure at the peak of the Forbidden Ruins Space pyramid. But now, they were being slaughtered like chickens, which they found extremely difficult to accept.
Especially Gilbert Drake, one of the leaders of one of the two super sects in the Forbidden Ruins Space, was the absolute ruler. Yet, he was killed in such a way. Along with the feeling of reluctance came a hint of regret. If they had known earlier, they shouldn’t have provoked Billy in the first place.
But now, it was too late to say anything.
After killing a few people, Casey walked towards Leandro Gonzalez. At this moment, Leandro Gonzalez, after seeing the deaths of Gilbert Drake and Darren Gonzalez, had even more fear in his eyes. However, besides fear, he couldn’t do anything.
Next, Casey raised his hand and struck a palm wind directly into Leandro Gonzalez’s abdomen.
The palm force was powerful, instantly shattering Leandro Gonzalez’s dantian. The Pavilion Master of Saint Cloud Pavilion and an eighth-rank Sacred Realm expert were now crippled.
“Alright, I leave this to you. See you in ten days in Skydragon City,” Aubree said to Billy after releasing the restraints on Leandro Gonzalez.
“Sir, beautiful lady, see you in ten days,” the girl in green greeted Billy and the others.
“Thank you, Aubree, for your help,” Harleen and Ivy bowed slightly.
Then, Aubree took the girl in green and flew away in the air.
“Did you expect today to end like this?” Billy walked up to Leandro Gonzalez and asked.
Leandro Gonzalez opened his mouth but couldn’t say a word. At this moment, he was just an old man at the end of his life, no longer the imposing figure at the helm of a super sect.
His face showed endless despair, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
“What kind of person is she…?” Leandro Gonzalez struggled to ask after taking a deep breath.
The twists and turns of life are unpredictable!
He had never expected such a huge reversal of events! He had originally planned to come and take ready-made secret techniques!
But instead, not only did he not get the technique, but the lives of him and his party were all lost here.
In all his calculations, he had never anticipated the existence of Aubree, and now what he most wanted to know was who Aubree really was and how there could be such a powerful figure in the Forbidden Ruins Space.
“If you don’t want physical pain, it’s best to answer whatever I ask,” Billy said in a deep voice. At the same time, Stout took out a silver needle from his body and approached.
“What do you want to ask… Ask quickly…” Leandro Gonzalez looked at Stout and spoke with difficulty. He was well aware that in the current situation, there was no point in persisting. There would be no other effect other than enduring a little more physical pain.
“Your two super sects and the Crimson Flame Imperial Family have far superior strength compared to the other three empires. If you truly want to annex the other three empires, it should be an easy task. Why is the Forbidden Ruins Space still divided among the four empires until today?” Billy asked calmly.
“That question… is actually simple… it’s because of the existence of the Guardian Alliance…” Leandro Gonzalez replied.
“The Guardian Alliance?” Billy and the others were momentarily stunned. This was the first time they had heard of this name. In their minds, the words ‘barrier guardians’ came to mind.
“Yes…” Leandro Gonzalez spoke again. “The reason this world can maintain balance is because of the presence of the Guardian Alliance. This barrier array inside the Forbidden Ruins Space is also maintained by the Guardian Alliance. Otherwise, the people inside would have already left the Forbidden Ruins Space and gone to the outside world!”.
“Indeed!” everyone responded involuntarily.
“Then why have your two sects and the Crimson Flame Imperial Family recently started invading the other three empires more frequently? What is the reason for this?” Frostblade asked.
“That’s because… the Guardian Alliance is currently overwhelmed… and naturally has too little energy to care about our affairs…” Leandro Gonzalez added after taking a deep breath. “In the past year, they have been facing more and more pressure…”
“What exactly is the Guardian Alliance guarding?” Opal asked.
“In this regard, I only have a rough idea… the specifics are known only to them…” Leandro Gonzalez replied. “Let me tell you this much… Have you heard of the Blood Sect and Devil Sect?”
“Huh?” Everyone, including Billy, was taken aback.
