At first, the members of the Blood and Devil Sects targeted the sects within the four empires, and several sects were brutally attacked one after another.
Later, under the joint siege of the four empires and Skydragon City, both sects suffered heavy casualties, with nearly ten thousand people killed.
Since then, both sects had been quiet for about ten days.
But just over twenty days ago, the members of the Blood and Devil Sects returned once again.
This time, their numbers and high-end combat power far exceeded the previous attack, with a total of over a hundred thousand people.
Moreover, this time they didn’t scatter their forces like before, but concentrated their strength to attack the imperial city of Sheardal Empire.
Due to the suddenness of the attack and the fact that the two sects were much stronger than Sheardal Imperial City, by the time Skydragon City and the other three empires received the message and rushed to support, the city had already fallen.
After Skydragon City and the forces from the other three empires arrived, they fought against the members of the Blood and Devil Sects for three days and three nights.
Not only were there heavy casualties, but in the end, they still couldn’t break through the city defenses.
Since then, Sheardal Imperial City had become the stronghold of the Blood and Devil Sects within the Forbidden Ruins Space.
Afterward, the members of both sects used Sheardal Imperial City as their base and launched surprise attacks on other sects every few days.
As a result, for the past half month, the entire Forbidden Ruins Space had been filled with anxiety.
Most ordinary people dared not leave their homes day or night, and the once bustling cities were now desolate.
The reason Desire City was targeted today was because the Blood and Devil Sects wanted to establish a second stronghold.
Compared to the other three empires and Skydragon City, Desire City was naturally the easiest place to take over.
“Master Rodrigo, do you know what the situation is like inside Sheardal Imperial City now?” Billy furrowed his brows and asked.
Each of the four imperial cities within the Forbidden Ruins Space had a population of nearly ten million!
With Sheardal Imperial City being taken over by the Blood and Devil Sects, what would happen to those ten million people?
As he spoke, Desmond Henderson’s figure appeared in his mind.
“I’m not sure about the specifics!” Rodrigo Woodard shook his head in response.
“After taking over Sheardal Imperial City, the Blood and Devil Sects sealed off the city. Except for their own people, no one else is allowed inside.”
“This includes all flying creatures. There’s no way for information to come out from inside the city, so it’s difficult for outsiders to know what’s happening inside.”
“Besides Sheardal Imperial City, how are Skydragon City and the other three empires doing?” Billy took a deep breath and asked again.
“For now, there’s nothing major happening!” Damien Barry spoke up from the side.
“It hasn’t been long since the Blood and Devil Sects took over Sheardal Imperial City. It shouldn’t be so soon for them to launch a second large-scale attack.”
“But they definitely have their sights set on the entire Forbidden Ruins Space. In my estimation, it won’t be long before they make a big move.”
“Alright!” Billy nodded slightly.
After a brief pause, he continued to look at Damien Barry and said, “Mr Barry, the Blood and Devil Sects won’t give up easily. Desire City is no longer safe. What are your plans for next?”
“I’ve already considered it. I’m going to have everyone go in batches to seek refuge in Ice Cloud Empire, Crimson Flame Empire’s imperial cities, and some subordinate cities,” Damien Barry responded.
“That’s good!” Billy nodded in agreement.
“Mr Billy, Skydragon City should be the next major target for the Blood and Devil Sects. You need to start making preparations when you return,” Rodrigo Woodard continued, “It is said that they have experts in the Holy Realm. Mr Billy needs to be careful!”
“Thank you for reminding me, Lord Rodrigo!” Billy nodded again.
After chatting for a while longer, Billy and his group bid farewell and left.
Later on, Billy arrived at Boyce Walkley’s medicine shop.
After consulting with him, Billy, Boyce Walkley, Clare Walkley, and a few others headed towards Skydragon City.
Boyce Walkley was an old friend of Isaac Herring’s, so bringing him to Skydragon City would provide him with a safe haven.
After about three hours, Billy and his group landed outside the eastern gate of Skydragon City.
They noticed that unlike before, the gate was tightly closed and there were figures moving on top of the city walls.
The expressions of each guard were serious, with a tense demeanor that showed the entire city was on high alert.
Undoubtedly, they were worried about a surprise attack from the members of the Blood and Devil Sects.
“Who are you…” One of the guards on top of the city wall shouted loudly upon seeing Billy and his group.
Before he could finish speaking, he recognized them and quickly shouted loudly behind him.
“Mr Billy! Mr Billy has returned! Quick, open the city gates!”
Upon hearing his words, a commotion erupted on top of the city wall, and everyone’s faces were filled with joy.
Before long, Billy and his group entered the city.
“Greetings to Mr Billy!”
Nearly a thousand guards near the gate simultaneously bowed and spoke respectfully.
“You’ve all worked hard. No need for formalities. Go about your business!” Billy smiled and waved his hand.
“Yes!” The crowd responded loudly.
Soon after, Billy led his group towards the direction of the Lord’s Mansion.
Along the way, the citizens bowed and saluted one after another, their eyes filled with admiration.
For many people in Skydragon City, Billy was their spiritual pillar!
They firmly believed that as long as Mr Billy was there, Skydragon City would never be lost!
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Lord’s Mansion.
“Billy?!” Stephanie Stuart and Edie Fennimore came out from one of the rooms and were surprised when they saw Billy.
“Mom, Aunt Edie!” Billy smiled and led everyone over.
Then Casey and his group greeted both of them.
Afterwards, Billy introduced Boyce Walkley’s group to Stephanie Stuart and Edie Fennimore before having two guards take Boyce Walkley’s group to find Isaac Herring.
“Don’t just stand there. Let’s sit inside and talk!” Stephanie Stuart said as she gestured for everyone to enter.
Once Boyce Walkley’s group left, Stephanie Stuart looked at Billy’s group and said, “You’ve all returned safely this time, right?”
“Yes!” Billy replied with a smile.
Then he spent an hour describing in detail everything that had happened over the past two months to Stephanie Stuart and Edie Fennimore.
After listening, Stephanie Stuart and Edie Fennimore were stunned for quite some time before digesting all this information.
Especially regarding Ether Mountain’s Ancestor, it shocked them even more.
In addition, they could guess the old master’s intention behind the spiritual line origin incident.
He wanted Billy to divert firepower onto himself. They couldn’t help but worry for Billy.
“Billy, although we don’t know who wants the ‘Spiritual Line Origin’ or what their background is, if even Guardian Alliance couldn’t stop them…” Edie Fennimore spoke with a serious expression on her face.
Although Stephanie Stuart didn’t say anything, she wore an equally worried expression on her face.
“Mom, Aunt Edie, don’t worry. Everything will be fine!” Billy smiled and reassured them.
“Do you remember that soul consciousness sealed by the old master? I can now actively unseal it!”
“It won’t be so easy for ordinary people to take my life!”
