In fact, for Billy, whether this matter existed or not didn’t make much difference.
Even if the Spiritual Line didn’t follow him, when the people behind the Blood and Devil Sects came out of the Forbidden Ruins Space one day, Ether Mountain would undoubtedly be their primary target.
As the Young Master of Ether Mountain, he naturally wouldn’t just think of himself.
So, in terms of the outcome, there was actually no difference for him personally!
And this method can also save billions of people in the outside world from disaster, making it the best choice!
Moreover, based on his understanding of the old master, he vaguely speculated that the old master’s purpose in doing this should not only be to let him bear everything alone.
There might be other purposes, but he couldn’t figure it out for a while.
In addition, he didn’t know if it was because of his cultivation level advancement or some other reason.
After coming out of the depths of Ether Mountain, he could clearly feel that he was absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth several times faster than before.
It was as if he was always in a space filled with abundant spiritual energy.
“But, in this way, Young Master, you will be in great danger in the future!” Aspen Kelly said.
“It’s really nothing!” Billy smiled again. “Danger has never been far away from me all these years, so these things don’t matter!”
“Billy, no matter what, you must be careful in the future!” Eliza Rice also showed a deep concern on her face.
“Thank you for your concern, Peak Master. I will be fine!” Billy nodded with a smile. “I have a strong life force, and it won’t be so easy for them to take my life!”
“Billy, when do you plan to return to the Forbidden Ruins Space?” Eliza Rice asked again after chatting for a while.
“It has been over two months since I came out. I don’t know what the situation is like in the Forbidden Ruins Space now. I want to go back as soon as possible!” Billy added after a moment of thought.
“There is nothing urgent here for now. I plan to leave today!”
“By the way, Peak Master, please let my grandfather know that I don’t have time to visit the Ravenwood family this time. Maybe next time!”
He really wanted to return to the Forbidden Ruins Space as soon as possible.
These past few days, he had a vague feeling of unease, as if something had happened in the Forbidden Ruins Space.
“Okay!” Eliza Rice nodded in response.
After chatting for a while longer, Casey and the Azure Dragon group arrived at the welcoming building.
Billy checked their cultivation levels and indeed, they had all improved by one level.
And several of them had already glimpsed the dawn of the next level, so it wouldn’t be long before they broke through again.
After that, Billy bid farewell to the people of Ether Mountain and left with everyone.
On the way, Billy explained to everyone what had happened in the depths of Ether Mountain.
After listening to his description, everyone naturally understood the intentions of the old master, and a solemn expression appeared on their faces one by one.
That night, after returning to the capital city, Billy instructed everyone to prepare themselves and set off later.
Then, Billy went to the palace alone and had a private conversation with Emperor Greenleaf for over an hour.
During Billy’s journey back to the capital city from Ether Mountain, Emperor Greenleaf had received a call from Adam and learned about what had happened in the past month.
After hanging up the phone, he naturally became worried for Billy as well.
But he knew very well that this was indeed Billy’s responsibility as the Young Master of Ether Mountain!
Just like his own responsibility!
Otherwise, who would protect these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!
That night, Billy and Casey’s group set off again and headed at full speed towards the Polar Domain.
“Billy, take care!” Emperor Greenleaf stared into the void and muttered to himself.
…
An unknown realm in a self-contained space.
In a heavily guarded palace emitting a strong bloody smell, a red-robed elder sat on a throne without any fluctuations in his aura.
However, his expression was not good at all, and he looked gloomy.
This person was Valentin Fuller, the current Sect Master of Blood Sect!
Not far in front of him stood two other red-robed elders.
The one on the left was Barrett Fuller, the Vice Sect Master of Blood Sect, and the one on the right was Jonah Fuller, the Right Protector of Blood Sect.
From their auras, it could be seen that both of them had genuine Holy Realm cultivation levels.
In addition to Barrett Fuller and Jonah Fuller, there were dozens of people standing in the hall. Judging from their ages alone, they were all over sixty years old.
Each of them had formidable cultivation levels, with at least late stage Sacred Realm cultivation and some even reaching early stage Holy Realm.
At this moment, everyone stood slightly bent over with suppressed breaths. The entire hall was filled with an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
“We failed?” Valentin Fuller spoke with a deep voice.
“Master Broderick is a second-rank Holy Realm cultivator. He had Grand Elder and Elias Delaney, both first-rank Holy Realm cultivators by his side. How did they fail?”
“Can someone explain to me why?”
He had been in seclusion for the past month and heard this news as soon as he came out today. He really wanted to kill someone!
“Reporting to Sect Master!” Jonah Fuller bowed and responded.
“We don’t know the specific reason either. We only know that they perished at Ether Mountain.”
“If our estimation is correct, there must be powerful Holy Realm experts present at Ether Mountain. We were probably deceived by Northfortia’s people!”
Before he finished speaking, Valentin Fuller’s eyes narrowed and immediately saw the tea table in front of him turn into dust.
An endless cold killing intent emanated from him as his eyes turned bloodshot.
“Please calm down, Sect Master!”
Everyone trembled and hurriedly called out together.
“Northfortia, I will settle this debt with you later!” Valentin Fuller spoke with an icy tone word by word.
“Sect Master, Devil Sect is responsible for this matter!” a Blood Sect elder spoke at the same time.
“If Devil Sect had agreed to send a second-in-command at that time, it might have succeeded. But they used attacking Forbidden Ruins Space as an excuse…”
“You know nothing!” Valentin Fuller angrily interrupted him.
…
The elder opened his mouth but couldn’t say a word. His face turned red from being unable to speak.
“Sect Master, if Ether Mountain’s plan failed, they will likely become furious. We should prepare early!” Barrett Fuller said to Valentin Fuller with a serious expression.
“Yes!” Valentin Fuller nodded with a solemn face.
After a brief pause, he continued to ask, “What is the current situation in Forbidden Ruins Space? How is it progressing?”
“Reporting to Sect Master…” Barrett Fuller began speaking again.
Before Barrett Fuller could finish his sentence or see how the other person made a move, that elder was sent flying hundreds of meters away.
After crashing heavily onto the ground and tilting his head slightly, he fell silent without any movement.
“You dare come here and act recklessly! You’re seeking death!”
A senior elder at ninth-rank Sacred Realm frowned and raised his hand to strike at the intruder with a palm strike.
The result was exactly the same. No one could see how the intruder made their move. The ninth-rank Sacred Realm elder was sent flying as well.
The trajectory of their movements was similar to that of before. After crashing onto the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood, they lost their breath with their legs twitching.
Seeing this scene, dozens of Blood Sect elders all moved at once.
They quickly surrounded the intruder and each wore tense expressions as if facing a formidable enemy.
