Billy was speechless when the black-robed elder turned and flew towards the sky as soon as he finished speaking.
Obviously, he was sucking the man’s essence not to fight against Billy, but to increase his chances of escaping.
With his injuries, even after sucking the man’s essence, he couldn’t reach his peak state, at most he could only recover about thirty to forty percent of his strength.
So, apart from escaping, he didn’t have any other thoughts.
After all, even at his peak state, he was no match for Billy, staying would only mean certain death.
But what made him despair was, just as he flew about seven to eight hundred meters away, he bumped into a barrier, feeling dizzy.
“Die!” Billy’s voice rang out, followed by a palm wind.
At this point, the black-robed elder obviously couldn’t evade anymore and was struck by the palm strength without any hindrance.
Thud!
A muffled sound rang out, and the black-robed elder fell straight down, blood pouring out of his mouth.
“Don’t struggle, you know very well that you can’t escape. If you want to survive, answer me honestly…”
After landing on the ground, Billy walked towards the elder.
“Hahaha…” The black-robed elder burst into laughter.
Then, his tone turned solemn.
“Kid, don’t be too proud, daring to kill members of the Blood and Devil Sects, your death is soon approaching!”
“Hmm?!” Billy saw his suicide intent and immediately shot out a sharp finger wind.
However, he was still a step too late.
In the next moment, a black mist burst forth, and the elder completely disappeared.
“Did he commit suicide?”
At this point, Casey and the others arrived.
“The people from the Blood and Devil Sects are truly ruthless, to themselves as well!” Judge cursed.
“Boss, I’ll go check if the people outside are still there!” Casey said, then turned towards the direction of the archway.
This was their first direct contact with the Blood and Devil Sects, and there were many things they wanted to understand, so they naturally wanted a living captive.
Although the people there were definitely of low status, they might still have some information.
“Mr Kimmons, I’ll go with you!” Bob and Ian Blade followed.
“Opal, how are you?” Billy looked at Opal and asked.
“Just minor injuries, nothing serious!” Opal shook her head and pointed inside the courtyard, “There is a person from Saint Cloud Pavilion inside, shall we go see?”
“Okay!” Billy nodded and led the group towards the courtyard.
Soon, they arrived in front of the gray-robed elderly of Saint Cloud Pavilion.
The old man was at the brink of death, with only a breath left.
“You… you are Mr Billy from Skydragon City…” the old man looked at Billy and spoke with difficulty.
Although they had never met before, he had obviously seen a portrait of Billy.
“Are you the former head of Saint Cloud Pavilion?” Billy asked.
As he spoke, he roughly checked the man’s body.
Ninety percent of his essence had been drained, even with his medical skills, there was no turning back.
“… Yes…” the old man nodded.
“Why did the people from the Blood and Devil Sects target you?” Billy continued.
“Ever since Leandro Gonzalez and Darren Gonzalez had trouble… the people from the Blood and Devil Sects… have been eyeing our Saint Cloud Pavilion…” the old man responded.
“They… wanted Saint Cloud Pavilion to submit… and when I refused… they went on a killing spree…”
“Do you know where their base in the Crimson Flame Empire is?” Billy asked again.
“No… I don’t know…” the old man shook his head.
“They are afraid of being watched by the Guardian Alliance… they are always very cautious… it’s difficult for outsiders to know their whereabouts…”
“There should be much more members from your Saint Cloud Pavilion, right? Where are they?” Billy asked.
Since it was a super sect, there should be at least eight to nine thousand people guarding its headquarters.
But now, there were about three to four thousand people lying on the ground, so at least half of the people were not present.
“I… I received information early that the people from the Blood and Devil Sects were going to attack the sect, so I had some of the disciples hide in the back mountains…”
At this point, he paused slightly and then raised his hand to point to a round domed building not far away.
“That… that is the warehouse of my Saint Cloud Pavilion… the things inside… Mr Billy can take whatever you want…”
“I… I know Mr Billy holds a grudge against Saint Cloud Pavilion, we were blinded by self-interest, seduced by the people of Northfortia…”
“I hope Mr Billy… you can be generous… and protect my sect in the future…”
Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed, completely out of breath.
Soon, Casey and the others also arrived.
“Mr Kimmons, are those people still there?” Felicia asked.
“They ran away!” Casey shook his head.
“If we had known, we should have disabled their cultivation at the beginning!” Felicia commented again.
“Opal, take Azure Dragon and go see in the back mountains!” After some thought, Billy looked at Opal and said.
“Also, check if Shadow Twenty-Four is there!”
With so many bodies on the scene, and many already moved, finding someone here was difficult!
“Okay!” Opal and Amber nodded and led Azure Dragon and four others, including Shadow Twenty-Six, towards the back mountains.
“Boss, where are we going?” Stout looked at Billy and asked, “Shall we go to their warehouse to take a look?”
“Let’s go!” Billy nodded.
“Alright!” Stout’s eyes lit up.
Soon, they arrived at Saint Cloud Pavilion’s warehouse.
“Wow, this place feels even richer than the Five Elements Sect’s warehouse!” Stout was drooling again.
“Boss, should I ask Aunt Edie to send some Dark Guards to move everything from here?” Stout seemed unwilling to give up.
“No need!” Billy replied.
“Alright.” Stout reluctantly responded.
Then everyone started to work.
About half an hour later, they emerged from the warehouse.
Stout, Judge, and Soul Chaser each carried two cloth bags filled with spirit fruits and beast cores.
They had taken the most valuable things from the warehouse, including sacred beast cores, sufficient for everyone to cultivate.
Not long after they left the warehouse, Opal and the others arrived with four to five thousand people behind them, the remaining disciples of Saint Cloud Pavilion.
“Shadow Twenty-Four, greetings to Mr Billy!” a gray-robed man hurriedly came forward and bowed.
