“Uncle, Mr Billy!”
Soon, Tate Guthrie and Zain Guthrie, the two brothers, along with several ministers from the imperial palace, walked over.
“The survival of the Crimson Flame Empire this time is all thanks to Mr Billy’s assistance!” Asher Guthrie looked at the two and said.
“Thank you very much for your great kindness, Mr Billy!” Tate Guthrie and his brother bowed to Billy.
As they spoke, both of them were deeply moved. Today, if it weren’t for Billy, the Crimson Flame Empire would have changed hands for real!
Before this, they never dreamed that a mighty existence like the Crimson Flame Empire would have to rely on a thirty-year-old young man for help!
Especially Zain Guthrie, he was even more shocked. When he went to ask Billy for help, he didn’t expect him to be able to contend with Rode.
After all, in his opinion, Billy at most had the strength of an eighth-rank Sacred Realm, and it was already great that he could kill Westin Ayala.
But the result was that a ninth-rank Sacred Realm expert was not even a match for him. It was too unbelievable!
“It’s nothing!” Billy waved his hand.
He was thinking about Rode and the Blood and Devil Sects, so his mood wasn’t very good.
After a slight pause, he continued, “There should still be remnants of Northfortia in the imperial city. You handle it yourselves!”
“Please rest assured, Mr Billy. After this lesson, we know what to do,” Tate Guthrie responded.
“Also, I estimate that the Blood and Devil Sects may act soon. You should be cautious,” Billy continued.
“If possible, it’s best to notify and have people search for their traces throughout the entire territory.”
“Understood!” Tate Guthrie’s face also showed a touch of solemnity.
He naturally understood what the Blood and Devil Sects meant. They were a sword hanging over everyone’s heads, ready to fall at any moment. The recent events at Saint Cloud Pavilion were a clear example!
“Mr Billy, from what I know, Guardian Alliance has been under tremendous pressure this year,” Asher Guthrie spoke from the side.
“Optimistically speaking, they may hold on for a few more months at most before breaking down.”
“If that day comes, the people of the Blood and Devil Sects will surely indulge in wanton killing within the Forbidden Ruins Space.”
At this point, his face showed a strong sense of seriousness, and he continued, staring ahead.
“Centuries ago, the people of the Blood and Devil Sects caused countless bloody incidents in this space.”
“At that time, the entire Forbidden Ruins Space was like a hell on earth, filled with misery.”
“Without complete statistics, the number of people who directly or indirectly died at the hands of their two sects is probably in the millions…”
“Is it that exaggerated?” Judge and Soul Chaser both exclaimed.
“This is an optimistic estimate!” Asher Guthrie exhaled heavily and continued to look at Billy.
“Mr Billy, I have a suggestion. While the people of the Blood and Devil Sects haven’t fully emerged yet, it’s best for Skydragon City and the four great empires to form an alliance!”
“Otherwise, if we continue to act independently as before, I’m afraid…” He didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.
“Hmm!” Billy nodded thoughtfully.
“You handle the aftermath first, and we’ll discuss the alliance soon.”
Although he was well aware that if all the people of the Blood and Devil Sects entered the Forbidden Ruins Space, even an alliance might be futile, considering the current situation, he hadn’t thought of a better solution yet.
Facing the enemy together was better than fighting alone!
“Okay!” Asher Guthrie nodded and then asked, “Will Mr Billy continue to stay in Crimson Flame Imperial City for the next few days?”
“Unless something unexpected happens, I should stay here for a few days!” Billy nodded slightly.
Without finding Rode, he was unlikely to leave the Crimson Flame Empire for the time being!
“Very well!” Tate Guthrie spoke from the side.
“After dealing with these busy days, I will send letters to the other three empires, asking them to send representatives to my Crimson Flame Imperial Palace to discuss the alliance.”
“At that time, I’ll ask Mr Billy to honor us with your presence!”
“Hmm!” Billy nodded again.
Fifteen minutes later, Billy bid farewell with everyone and left.
Before leaving, Tate Guthrie had someone bring two bags of high-level spiritual fruits and beast cores to Billy.
Billy didn’t refuse either. He was well aware that the coming days would be very difficult, so he needed to quickly improve everyone’s cultivation.
Back in the manor Billy gave some instructions to Shadow Eighteen.
He asked her to convey orders to all the shadow guards, reorganize them, and then conduct a comprehensive search for the Blood and Devil Sects’ traces throughout the entire Forbidden Ruins Space.
For the next two days, Billy and the others were not idle. From morning till night, they wandered around the imperial city, trying to find any trace of Rode.
However, Rode seemed to have vanished into thin air and never appeared again.
On the morning of the third day, after finishing breakfast and preparing to go out again, Shadow Ten hurriedly walked in.
After walking up to Billy, she bowed and said, “Mr Billy, something has happened!”
“Hmm?!” Billy was slightly startled. “What happened?”
“I just received a message from Shadow Forty-Eight, who was lurking in the Sheardal Empire,” Shadow Ten continued.
“According to her, she just received news that a top-tier sect in Sheardal Empire was annihilated.”
“The entire sect, with two to three thousand people, was killed, not a single one survived!”
“The sect’s treasury was plundered!”
“Hmm?!” Billy was startled again.
“Do you know who did it?” Casey asked.
“Although no one saw the murderer with their own eyes, judging from the scene, it should be the work of the Blood Sect!” Shadow Ten continued.
“The inner courtyard of the sect was filled with limbs and blood, a scene too gruesome to bear!”
“Damn! This is outrageous!” White Tiger couldn’t help but curse.
“They’ve gone to Sheardal Empire again!” Soul Chaser furrowed his brows.
“Boss, should we go to the scene?” Stout looked at Billy and asked.
“It’s useless to go now!” Billy shook his head slightly, his expression grave.
Just as everyone was still digesting this news, Shadow Eighteen rushed in anxiously.
“Mr Billy, I just received news that a near-top-tier sect in the Rainbow Moon Empire was attacked.”
“The entire sect, with about two thousand people, perished, and the treasury was looted!”
“Damn it!” Before Shadow Eighteen could finish speaking, Judge and Soul Chaser both cursed.
“What’s the situation at the scene?” Opal asked.
“According to the news, everyone in the sect was drained of their essence, all reduced to skin and bones,” Shadow Eighteen replied.
“Devil Sect’s people?” Vermilion Bird furrowed his brows.
“It should be!” Eighteen nodded.
“Do you know how many of them there were?” Casey asked.
“I don’t know!” Shadow Eighteen shook his head: “It seems they acted at dawn today. By the time people outside noticed, the culprits were no longer at the scene.”
“Blood and Devil Sects, they really are…” Black Tortoise also frowned deeply.
Thud…
Before Black Tortoise could finish his words, Shadow Twenty-Four, also with a look of urgency, ran in.
“Mr. Billy, I just got news that a top-tier sect within the Ice Cloud Empire was suddenly attacked.”
“Not a single one of the 3, 000 members survived, all met with a brutal death, and the storeroom was completely looted!”
Everyone fell into silence at the same time.
“Billy Boy, should we head back to Skydragon City? I’m worried…” After a while, Opal looked at Billy and said.
“Hmm?!” Before Opal could finish, Billy frowned, and a cold murderous intent burst forth.
“Boss, what’s wrong?” Casey asked.
“There might be trouble in Skydragon City!” Billy replied gravely.
“Trouble in Skydragon City?” Azure Dragon was slightly startled. “Boss, how did you know?”
“Boss has a sound transmission talisman that he brought from the Star Secret Space!” Night Orchid spoke up for Billy.
“A few days before we left, the Boss had told Aunt Edie to contact him if anything happened!”
