“Really?” Edie Fennimore’s eyes lit up upon hearing Billy’s words.
“Yes!” Billy smiled again.
“The old master probably anticipated this!” Stephanie Stuart breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, lost in thought, she spoke, “When he helped Billy seal that soul consciousness, he mentioned something.”
“He said that once Billy’s cultivation reached a certain level, he could voluntarily unseal that soul consciousness, which would be a great help to Billy!”
“No wonder the old master was so confident in letting Boss take the risk. He had already figured it out!” Stout smacked his lips and added.
“He really is cunning!”
Ahem…
Casey and Bob both coughed.
“Stout, it’s better if you don’t speak!” Felicia glanced at Stout. “That’s called being shrewd!”
“Hehe, slip of the tongue!” Stout grinned.
“Billy, even so, you gotta be careful!” Stephanie Stuart’s mouth twitched, then she turned to Billy.
“After all, we don’t know what abilities that soul consciousness in your body possesses, nor do we know how strong the opponent is!”
“Understood!” Billy nodded.
He naturally understood this matter.
Moreover, with his personality, he never liked to rely on others for hope!
Furthermore, he had no understanding of that soul consciousness inside his body.
He had no idea who the other party was, what their character was like, or how high their cultivation level was.
How could he possibly trust his life to such a stranger?
The reason he mentioned this matter was obviously to comfort Stephanie Stuart and Edie Fennimore.
“Oh right, Aunt Edie, Elder Sebastian asked me to pass on a message to you.” Billy suddenly remembered this after a slight pause.
Then, he described what Sebastian Fennimore had said.
“Hmm?” Stephanie Stuart’s eyes brightened upon hearing Billy’s words. “Billy, did Elder Sebastian really say that?”
Edie Fennimore didn’t say anything, but her expression froze for a moment.
“It’s absolutely true!” Billy nodded in response.
“Edie, I wasn’t wrong, right?” Stephanie Stuart smiled at Edie Fennimore.
“I’ve told you before that things might not be as you imagine. But you didn’t believe me.”
“Even if it wasn’t done by them, it happened because of them!” Edie Fennimore took a deep breath.
“If he hadn’t been expelled from the sect back then, he wouldn’t have died such a tragic death…”
“Aunt Edie…” Billy spoke again.
“How is he?” Edie Fennimore interrupted Billy’s words, her eyes showing a complex expression.
At this moment, the person she referred to was naturally Sebastian Fennimore.
“Aunt Edie, rest assured, Elder Sebastian is doing fine!” Billy smiled and said, “He has already reached the Holy Realm!”
“Is that so?” Edie Fennimore responded with a hint of brightness in her eyes.
“Edie, once things settle down here, let’s go back to the country together.” Stephanie Stuart smiled at Edie Fennimore again.
“At that time, you can return to your home, and I’ll go back to the Ravenwood family!”
“Okay!” Edie Fennimore nodded in response.
After that, they didn’t continue the topic and Stephanie Stuart looked at Billy and asked, “Billy, is the situation in Desire City serious?”
“There have been quite a few casualties!” Billy responded. “If we had arrived half an hour earlier or later, the consequences would have been unimaginable!”
“The Blood and Devil Sects are truly heartless!” Edie Fennimore frowned.
“Aunt Stephanie, what about Opal and Amber?” Felicia asked at this time.
“They are not in Skydragon City!” Stephanie Stuart replied.
“Not in Skydragon City?” Frostblade also spoke up. “Then where did they go?”
“Since the people from the Blood and Devil Sects captured Sheardal Imperial City, no news has come out from there. We’ve tried many methods but to no avail.” Stephanie Stuart continued speaking.
“So Opal and Amber decided to try their luck within Sheardal Empire’s territory to see if they can gather any information from inside the imperial city.”
“Will Opal and Amber be in danger?” Alex Long asked.
“They should be fine!” Edie Fennimore shook her head.
“They are just gathering information discreetly and won’t directly confront the people from the Blood and Devil Sects.”
“And even if they do come into direct conflict, with their skills and the help of the Gathering Spirit Array, they should be able to retreat safely.”
“In these two months, they have been through many battles and have already advanced two levels with the help of the Gathering Spirit Array.”
“So strong?!” Alex Long and Felicia exclaimed simultaneously.
“Mom, haven’t you and Aunt Edie also advanced two levels?” Billy looked at Stephanie Stuart and Edie Fennimore with a smile.
When he first saw them, he had already investigated their cultivation levels.
Stephanie Stuart had already reached the ninth-rank Sacred Realm, and Edie Fennimore had broken through to the seventh-rank Sacred Realm!
“Aunt Stephanie, is that true?” Judge and the others asked simultaneously.
“It’s just a stroke of luck!” Stephanie Stuart smiled and said.
“That’s great!” A hint of joy flashed across everyone’s faces.
“Mom, how are the other three empires doing now?” Billy continued to ask Stephanie Stuart.
“We exchange letters with them almost every day. As of today, there haven’t been any abnormalities.” Stephanie Stuart responded.
“But based on my estimation, the Blood and Devil Sects will probably launch a second large-scale war soon.”
“We just don’t know if they will choose Skydragon City or one of the other three empires.”
“Aunt Stephanie, do you know about their high-level combat power? Are their sect leaders still present?” Casey asked.
“I’m not sure if their sect leaders are still there!” Stephanie Stuart shook her head.
“In the battle we had with them half a month ago, at least a dozen of their high-level combatants were at late stage of Sacred Realm or above.”
“Among them, there were even two individuals with genuine Holy Realm cultivation.”
“Really?” White Tiger exclaimed upon hearing this.
“Weren’t most of the higher-ranking members of the Blood and Devil Sects’ Elder Pavilion dealt with at Ether Mountain? How can they have such a strong force?”
“White Tiger, don’t forget what Lord Stuart said last time. The members of the Elder Pavilion in both sects have cultivation levels at late stage of Sacred Realm or above.” Azure Dragon responded.
“Even if many of them were killed outside this time, who knows how many members are still left in their sects!”
“Furthermore, if nothing unexpected happens, both sects should have left and right protectors at the Holy Realm!”
“And until now, we have only seen Blood Sect’s left protector at Ether Mountain!”
“So even without counting the sect leaders, they have at least three Holy Realm experts and possibly even more!”
“Alright!” White Tiger let out a heavy breath.
The faces of the others also showed a hint of seriousness.
Facing opponents with such strength indeed brought great pressure!
“Mom, is there any new information from Grandpa?” Billy continued to look at Stephanie Stuart and asked.
“What is the current situation with the Guardian Alliance?”
