“Stout, what treasures are inside?” Bob asked.
“There are plenty, all high-grade spirit stones and spirit fruits, and quite a few beast cores!” Stout smacked his lips.
Seeing his expression, Night Orchid and the others couldn’t help but smile.
Two hours later, everyone returned to the northern estate of the city.
Then, Billy and Stout took out everything from the seven storage rings.
“So much?!” Judge and Soul Chaser exclaimed as they looked at the pile of treasures before them.
“Mom, Aunt Edie, you can take these two storage rings,” Billy said as he handed the storage rings of Legend Hatfield and Lawrence Hatfield to Stephanie Stuart and Edie Fennimore.
“Okay!” Stephanie Stuart didn’t refuse. They were all family, no need to be overly polite.
As the responsible individuals of Skydragon City, having a storage ring would indeed be very convenient.
“Opal, Amber, these two are for you.” Billy then picked up two more and handed them to Opal and Amber.
“I don’t need it!” Opal shook her head.
“Billy Boy, I don’t need one either,” Amber smiled.
“Opal, Amber, just take them. They’re not anything precious,” Billy said with a faint smile.
“I estimate that Sky City will send more people soon, so we can grab a few more then.”
“Well, fine. I’ll keep them for now. If anyone wants to use them, feel free to take them,” Opal replied as she took the storage ring.
Amber thought for a moment and didn’t refuse either, accepting the storage ring.
The remaining three rings were given to Stout, Casey, and Azure Fang.
“Billy, according to what Aubree said last time, Sky City’s strength is definitely more than what we saw today!” Edie Fennimore continued, looking at Billy.
“They will probably send even stronger people soon, so we need to be prepared!”
“Yes!” Billy’s expression turned slightly serious.
Today’s battle relied heavily on Purple Spirit’s help; otherwise, the outcome would have been obvious.
And after the failure of the City Lord’s Mansion this time, the next time they send people over, it won’t be as easy as today!
In addition, he was also worried about the situation with the Guardian Alliance. He didn’t know how the battle was going now!
“Casey, keep some king-grade spirit stones for yourself and distribute everything else. Everyone needs to hurry up and cultivate!” Billy said after a brief pause, pointing to the pile of treasures on the ground.
“Okay!” Casey nodded in response.
…
Sky City.
Inside the grand palace in the Ethereal Sect.
Aubree, Harleen, Ivy, and Courtney stood in the center of the palace, occasionally glancing towards the inner hall.
The reason why the four of them appeared here was that Jorge Craft was in seclusion in the secret room behind this hall, and today was the day he would come out of seclusion.
After Harleen and Ivy returned from Skydragon City, although they were anxious, Jorge Craft had been in seclusion all this time, so they could only wait anxiously.
Today, when they learned that Jorge Craft might come out of seclusion, they came early to wait.
“Harleen, don’t worry too much. Father will definitely agree!” Courtney’s full name was Courtney Craft, and she was Jorge Craft’s daughter and the current Sect Master of Ethereal Sect.
“Yes! Thank you, Courtney!” Harleen nodded.
In fact, she had no idea what would happen!
After all, for Ethereal Sect, she and Ivy were just strangers. Ethereal Sect didn’t need to create powerful enemies for themselves because of them!
Although they had great potential, this matter concerned the life and death of the entire sect. It was not a small matter!
“Aubree, I heard that the City Lord’s Mansion sent another group of people to the Forbidden Ruins Space. Is that true?” Harleen asked after a brief pause, turning to Aubree.
“I just received the news!” Aubree nodded in response. “But don’t worry too much!”
“With the strength of Guardian Alliance and Skydragon City, there shouldn’t be any major problems with the people they sent this time.”
“Aubree, what kind of strength did they send?” Ivy also looked serious.
“They are all Holy Realm experts. The highest cultivation level should be several late-stage Holy Realm cultivators,” Aubree replied again.
“What would happen to Billy and the others…” Ivy took a deep breath.
“Don’t worry!” Aubree interrupted her.
“Mr Billy’s ‘Spiritual Line Origin’ has evolved into a ‘spirit,’ ordinary Holy Realm cultivators are not his match!”
“It has evolved into a ‘spirit’?” Harleen and Ivy both paused for a moment.
“Yes!” Aubree nodded.
“Under normal circumstances, Spiritual Line Origin is just a species with some ‘spirituality.'”
“Although it possesses some intelligence, there is still a big difference compared to true humans.”
“But Mr Billy’s ‘Spiritual Line Origin’ has surpassed mere ‘spirituality’ and evolved into a ‘spirit.'”
“In a certain sense, it is no different from a real human now, and its combat power is far beyond that of an ordinary ‘Spiritual Line Origin’!”
“Really?” Harleen and Ivy both spoke at the same time.
“Yes!” Aubree nodded.
“But…” Harleen continued speaking.
Before she could finish her sentence, footsteps sounded at the entrance of the hall.
Soon after, a group of five or six people walked out steadily. The leader was none other than Jorge Craft, the Sect Master of Ethereal Sect!
In his fifties, with a square face shape and a sturdy figure, his expression calm with no fluctuations in his aura.
Several elders from the Elder Pavilion of Ethereal Sect followed behind him.
“Father!” Seeing Jorge Craft, Courtney Craft quickly walked up to him.
There was a difference of thirty or forty years between father and daughter. Jorge Craft was obviously in his middle age when he had her.
“Why did you come?” Jorge Craft looked at Courtney Craft. “I heard that while I was in seclusion, you went out with Aubree again?”
“How did you know?” Courtney Craft paused for a moment before pouting. “I knew someone would snitch!”
“Just because nobody told me doesn’t mean I wouldn’t find out,” Jorge Craft scolded her with a glare.
“How many times have I told you not to go out wandering until you have enough strength to protect yourself?”
“I know!” Courtney Craft stuck out her tongue. “I promise it won’t happen again!”
While they were talking, Aubree led Harleen and Ivy to approach them.
“Greetings, Sect Master!” Harleen and Ivy bowed respectfully.
“Father, let me introduce you!” Courtney Craft spoke at the same time.
“No need for introductions!” Jorge Craft waved his hand.
Then he looked at Harleen and Ivy and said, “I’ve heard about you two!”
“You came here specifically to ask my Ethereal Sect to help you stop the City Lord’s Mansion from attacking the Forbidden Ruins Space, right?”
As he spoke, he probed their spiritual power for a moment. A hint of brightness flashed in his eyes.
“Yes!” Harleen bowed again. “Please…”
“But both of you should leave!” Before Jorge Craft could respond, a man’s voice sounded from the entrance.
Immediately after, a middle-aged man in blue robes led several members of the Elder Pavilion into the hall.
The middle-aged man in blue robes bore a resemblance to Jorge Craft; he was Abel Craft, Jorge Craft’s cousin and also the Vice Master of Ethereal Sect!
