“To tell the truth, there is indeed such a sign!” Zain Guthrie didn’t hide anymore.
“Are there people from the Blood Sect or Devil Sect in the Crimson Flame Imperial City?” Billy asked abruptly.
“Huh?” Zain Guthrie was taken aback, “How do you know about Blood and Devil Sects?”
“Just answer me whether there is or isn’t!” Billy spoke.
“Although I haven’t seen people from the Blood and Devil Sects with my own eyes, I am eighty percent sure that there are members of these two sects lurking in the imperial city!” Zain Guthrie responded after a moment of hesitation.
“The reason why the people of Northfortia have become more and more unbridled in the last year or two is most likely because they have allied themselves with the Blood and Devil Sects.”
“You are not too naive!” Bob retorted.
After a slight pause, he continued to look at Billy, “If you want to deal with the people of Northfortia, we can cooperate!”
“How?” Billy asked with a faint smile.
“To take down the people of Northfortia, we must also control the members of the Blood and Devil Sects hidden in the imperial city at the same time, otherwise all efforts will be in vain!!” Zain Guthrie replied.
“The people of Northfortia infiltrating the palace can be handled by our imperial family.”
“But then, we won’t be able to free up our hands to deal with the people of the Blood and Devil Sects, so we need you…”
“You are cunning!” White Tiger glanced at him.
“You deal with weaker opponents, and then want us deal with the tough ones?”
“Before discussing whether we can take down the people of the Blood and Devil Sects, even if we can, we will undoubtedly be exhausted.”
“At that time, your imperial family will take advantage of us, leaving us with no chance to resist!”
“Oh, there really is such a possibility!” Stout exclaimed.
“You old man, you are truly black-hearted! No wonder your wife cheats on you!”
“Most of the elite forces of Northfortia are in the palace, making it more convenient for our imperial family to act.” Zain Guthrie took a deep breath and continued to look at Billy.
“And, in a way, by targeting the people of Northfortia, we are actually helping you.”
“After all, for my imperial family, it is not necessary to act against them, so…”
“Oh, is that so?” Billy interrupted him with a faint smile.
“In that case, let’s end it here today, you can leave now.”
“Huh?” Zain Guthrie was once again taken aback. “Aren’t you considering my proposal earlier?”
“Since your imperial family doesn’t realize the severity of the situation, we won’t be bothered with it.” Billy shrugged his shoulders.
“As far as I know, the reason why Northfortia is leaning towards the Blood and Devil Sects is to use their power to attack Glavale,” Zain Guthrie continued.
“And, it is very likely that the Blood and Devil Sects have already figured out a way to escape from this Forbidden Ruins Space.”
“Aren’t you worried that if you delay any longer, Glavale will suffer the pain of losing their country?”
“Why don’t you worry first about when your Crimson Flame Empire will be wiped out?” Billy retorted coldly.
Then he waved his hand, “Just leave!”
“Are you really not considering cooperating with us…” Zain Guthrie frowned slightly.
“Don’t you hear my boss? He wants you to scram!” Black Tortoise glared at him.
“Farewell!” Zain Guthrie took a deep breath again and flew away with Mekhi Drake in hand.
While still in mid-air, he added, “If Mr Billy changes his mind, he can find me in the palace at any time!”
With that, he was already several kilometers away.
“Boss, did we just let him go like that?” Soul Chaser glanced at Billy after looking up.
“Or what? Kill him?” Opal replied for Billy.
“Anyway, we will inevitably have a battle with the Crimson Flame Imperial Palace sooner or later, so killing one early is better than later!” Soul Chaser responded.
“Keeping him alive is more useful than killing him directly!” Opal added again.
“Our main goal next is the people of Northfortia, so it’s not advisable to provoke the Crimson Flame Imperial Family for now.”
“But, his attitude really wants me to punch him!” Judge said.
“Don’t worry!” Billy replied calmly, “He will soon come to us seeking to cooperate!”
“Boss, do you have a plan?” Stout’s eyes lit up. “How should we proceed, you just give the orders!”
Pfff.
Seeing Stout’s expression, Night Orchid, and Alex Long smirked.
“Let’s discuss this later!” Billy said before turning to Judge.
“Go and capture a disciple of the Five Elements Sect and find out where their warehouse is!”
“Okay!” Judge responded and turned to leave.
The following events were straightforward.
In about fifteen minutes, Billy and his group arrived at the Five Elements Sect’s warehouse.
Looking at the abundant goods shelves around them, a gleam of light flashed in the eyes of everyone.
As expected of a super sect’s warehouse, the treasures inside were incomparable to the treasury underneath the valley of the Sheardal Empire.
Especially some high-grade beast cores, whose value far exceeded those in the Sheardal Empire’s treasury.
Among them, there were dozens of sacred beast cores, making one wonder where the Five Elements Sect hunted so many Sacred Beasts.
“This trip was really worth it, we are going to be rich!” Stout wiped the drool from his mouth.
“These things will help you break through in your cultivation!” Billy filled a bag with spirit fruits and beast cores from a nearby shelf and handed them to the two shadow guards.
“Mr Billy, we don’t need these for now…” the two shadow guards bowed in response.
“Take them, you deserve it!” Billy interrupted them with a faint smile.
“Thank you, Mr Billy!” the two no longer refused.
“The matter with the Five Elements Sect is settled, you two can go to the Crimson Flame Imperial City now,” Billy continued.
“Inform the shadow guards over there to find the members of the Blood and Devil Sects by any means necessary as soon as possible!”
“Understood!” the two nodded vigorously.
“In addition, send a message back to Skydragon City!” Billy then turned to Shadow Thirty-Six to give instructions.
“Have Aunt Edie send a hundred Skydragon Dark Guards here to bring back everything from this place!”
“Received!” Shadow Thirty-Six nodded vigorously.
After that, the two bid farewell to Casey and the others and left.
“Boss, where are we going next?” Stout looked at Billy after the two left.
“How about paying a visit to Saint Cloud Pavilion?”
“It’s a super sect as well, and there must be much natural treasure in its warehouse!”
