Before the old man’s words could even fall, a violent surge of energy surged forth.
At this moment, he intended to dodge, but obviously it was too late.
The energy engulfed his lower abdomen, and with a muffled bang, the old man was shot out like a cannonball.
Flying hundreds of meters before crashing to the ground, he then somersaulted several times, lying on the ground like a dead dog.
“You… you actually crippled my cultivation…” The old man struggled to lift his head and looked at Billy with a despairing expression on his face.
Seeing this scene, the SHADOW SECT, Special Patrol Squadron, and the people from the Ferocious Bird Pavilion nearby all exclaimed in unison. Such a strong person wasn’t even a match for Lord Dragon?
“Stout, watch him, don’t let him die!” Then, Billy instructed Stout before rushing towards the other people’s battle circle.
Among the remaining opponents, there were still a few in the early stages of the Sacred Realm, so Casey and the others didn’t take them down so quickly.
But with Billy joining in, the situation instantly became one-sided.
After a few minutes, all the opponents were lying on the ground, except for the old man in charge, none of the others were left alive.
“Boss, that old guy killed himself!” Just then, Stout approached Billy and spoke.
“Killed himself?” Billy was slightly taken aback.
“Yeah! Bleeding from all seven orifices, no breath left!” Stout nodded in response.
“He must have practiced some secret technique that could be activated even if his cultivation was lost.”
“Really dead?” Azure Dragon furrowed his brow slightly. “If I had known this earlier, I should have left a few guys to ask about the situation.”
“It’s useless!” Casey shook his head in response. “Only a few people from the two sects know the specific action plans for this time, others wouldn’t know the details.”
“That’s true!” Azure Dragon nodded slightly.
“Lord Dragon, we pay our respects!” At this moment, Brigham Bush, Shane Cross, and Dane Schneider, along with the others, came forward and bowed.
“You’re all injured, no need for formalities!” Billy raised his hand slightly.
“Thank you, Lord Dragon!” The crowd shouted again in unison.
Then, Brigham Bush and the others greeted Casey and the others again.
“Lord Dragon, when are you returning to the country? Why did you come here?” Brigham Bush then looked at Billy and asked.
“Let the buddies stay here to handle things, we’ll go back to SHADOW SECT first and talk on the way!” Billy replied.
“Alright!” Brigham Bush responded after a moment of hesitation.
Five minutes later, they boarded a COASTER and headed towards the city center.
After the car drove off, Night Orchid briefly explained the situation to Brigham Bush and the others.
Everyone had come here because when they were nearing the capital, Billy instructed Night Orchid to call Brigham Bush to discuss something.
However, Brigham Bush had already gotten off the car and rushed to the Ferocious Bird Pavilion’s main courtyard, and also sensed that a fight had broken out there, naturally, he didn’t have time to answer the phone.
Night Orchid then tried calling Shane Cross, but no one answered.
Finally, Night Orchid directly called back to the SHADOW SECT headquarters and learned of Brigham Bush and Shane Cross’s whereabouts, so they rushed over.
“Night Orchid, what about Ether Mountain?” After hearing Night Orchid’s words, Brigham Bush asked with a solemn expression.
“They are fine for now!” Night Orchid replied.
On their way back from Polar Domain, Billy had already called Adam Greenleaf.
Knowing that there were no abnormalities at Ether Mountain for the time being, everyone felt a bit relieved.
Billy briefly explained the matter of Blood and Devil Sects to Adam Greenleaf over the phone, asking him to inform the Peak Master to be on guard early.
After hanging up the phone, Adam Greenleaf went directly to Floating Cloud Peak.
“Brigham Bush, besides the matters of these two sects, have there been any other special events in the capital these past two days?” After Stout helped Brigham Bush and Shane Cross briefly deal with their injuries, Night Orchid asked.
“Other than what happened today, there haven’t been any other special events for the time being.” Brigham Bush replied after a moment of thought.
“Then, briefly tell us about the major events that have occurred domestically and internationally over the past year.” Night Orchid continued.
“Alright, Night Orchid.” Brigham Bush nodded in response.
Then, he began to introduce the situation to everyone.
After about half an hour, he had finished explaining everything he knew.
After listening, Billy and the others had a rough understanding of the domestic and international situation over the past year.
Domestically, everything was relatively stable.
Since the Long family and the Vaughan family, two of the four ancient families, were dealt with over a year ago, the hidden families and sects in the country had become much more obedient.
Coupled with the Ravenwood family and the Meskill family firmly standing on the side of the capital, this further consolidated the capital’s position in Glavale.
Over the past year, no sect or family dared to provoke the authority of the capital anymore.
The current situation was that as long as the capital encountered any trouble, with a wave of its arm, the Ancient Martial World and the hidden world would follow suit.
Such a phenomenon had not been seen in Glavale for hundreds of years!
This was the result of the joint efforts of the people of Ether Mountain and the capital!
As for the international situation, the countries around Glavale didn’t have much difference from before.
Oriana, Veridiania, Nanrania, and other small countries still pretended to be submissive.
They didn’t dare to say anything overtly, but behind the scenes, under the guidance of Northfortia, they would occasionally make some small moves at the border.
Regarding this, Glavale didn’t bother to pay much attention to them, as long as they didn’t cross the line, they could do whatever they wanted.
As for Aquilandia, their relationship with Glavale had further improved over the past year.
This was partly due to Billy’s influence, and partly due to the current situation facing their country.
Northfortia and several Western countries had been pressuring and sanctioning them from different angles for the past two years, making them feel suffocated.
So they had to seek allies, and Glavale was naturally the best choice.
Furthermore, just three months ago, Glavale and Northfortia had a relatively large-scale conflict, with the main battlefield in Oriana.
At that time, Oriana, instigated by Northfortia, attempted to provoke Glavale’s bottom line.
At the command of Emperor Greenleaf, three hundred thousand soldiers from the Eastern Region set foot on Oriana’s territory.
The result of that battle was that all of Northfortia’s forces stationed in Oriana, numbering over a hundred thousand, were wiped out, and Oriana itself suffered losses of nearly two hundred thousand.
After that battle, Oriana became completely obedient, at least on the surface, they didn’t dare to provoke anymore.
“Oh right, Lord Dragon, I suddenly remembered something.” After finishing the matter with Northfortia, Brigham Bush seemed to recall something.
After a slight pause, he added, “I heard that a Northfortia embassy arrived in the capital last night.”
“If everything goes as expected, they should be negotiating with us, Glavale, at the Central Sky Office today!”
“Hmm?” Billy’s pupils slightly contracted. “Are you sure?”
