“You… you’re so ruthless…” Abel Craft paused for a moment, his face filled with despair as he looked at Jorge Craft.
“If it weren’t for your father’s past contributions to the sect, you would already be dead!” Jorge Craft replied in a deep voice.
After saying that, he ignored Abel and turned to Oscar Craft.
“Grand Elder, have him taken away. Without my permission, he is not allowed to leave the sect!”
“Understood!”
Oscar Craft waved his hand to the side, and two sect disciples escorted Abel Craft out.
From that moment on, Jorge Craft began to clean up the sect and reorganize it.
Meanwhile…
Alvin Hatfield and his group were already flying towards the City Lord’s Mansion.
“Lord Alvin, why don’t we pressure Jorge Craft to reveal the whereabouts of those two women?” an elderly man asked Alvin Hatfield.
“Jorge Craft’s strength has greatly increased since his breakthrough!” Alvin Hatfield replied in a deep voice.
“I don’t have much confidence in defeating him. Even if I can gain a slight advantage, it won’t be easy.”
“Now is not the time to confront the Ethereal Sect openly. We’ll settle the score with him after obtaining the ‘Spiritual Line Origin’ and that treasure.”
“Understood!” the elderly man nodded in response.
“After we return, notify everyone in the Elder Pavilion to be prepared to enter the Forbidden Ruins Space at any time!” Alvin Hatfield continued.
“Lord Alvin, have those people arrived?” the elderly man asked with a slight surprise.
“They are on their way!” Alvin Hatfield nodded.
“Good!” The elderly man’s eyes lit up.
… Forbidden Ruins Space, Skydragon City…
Time passed quickly, and ten days had passed since the last battle with Legend Hatfield.
During these ten days, with the help of the Gathering Spirit Array and the cultivation resources in Legend Hatfield’s storage ring, everyone had made significant progress.
Billy, Opal, and Stephanie Stuart had all broken through to the third-rank Holy Realm.
Casey, Edie Fennimore, and Amber had reached the second-rank Holy Realm.
With Billy’s assistance, Azure Fang and Azure Dragon successfully broke through and officially entered the Holy Realm.
Felicia, Frostblade, and others had reached the half step into Holy Realm, just one step away from reaching the true Holy Realm.
Judge, Soul Chaser, and others lived up to expectations and advanced to the ninth-rank Sacred Realm.
Of course, White Feather’s strength had also improved.
On this morning, everyone was chatting at the northern mansion of the city.
“Boss, Harleen and my sister have been gone for so long. Why haven’t they returned yet? Could something have happened?” Stout looked at Billy and asked.
“Stout, don’t jinx it. Just keep quiet!” Felicia glared at Stout.
“I’m just worried, that’s all!” Stout responded.
“With Harleen and my sister’s personalities, whether or not the Ethereal Sect is willing to help, they will definitely come back to fight alongside us.”
“But it’s been almost a month now, and they’re still missing. I’m worried…”
“Stout!” Night Orchid interrupted Stout.
Then she looked at Billy.
“Boss, don’t worry too much. With Aubree there, Harleen and Ivy should be fine!”
“Yeah!” Billy nodded slightly.
In recent days, he had been feeling uneasy. He had a feeling that something might have happened to Harleen and Ivy.
As Stout said, regardless of whether or not the Ethereal Sect was willing to help, they should have returned by now.
But until today, there was no sign of them. It was clearly abnormal!
Coupled with what Lawrence Hatfield said that day, he couldn’t help but worry!
Now he could only place his hope in Aubree!
“Boss, why don’t we go to Sky City?” Judge looked at Billy and suggested.
“Judge, do you even know where Sky City is? How do we get there?” Azure Dragon glanced at Judge speechlessly.
“Well…” Judge’s mouth twitched slightly. “It seems like I don’t…”
“Billy, don’t worry too much!” Edie Fennimore spoke up from the side.
“If nothing unexpected happens, the second wave of people from Sky City’s City Lord’s Mansion will soon arrive in Skydragon City. We can ask them about Harleen and Ivy…”
“They should have already arrived!” Edie Fennimore’s words were interrupted by Stephanie Stuart’s solemn expression as she looked towards the sky.
“They’re here?” Judge and Soul Chaser couldn’t help but exclaim.
Before their words could fully fall, several oppressive auras swept through the sky as if it was about to collapse.
At the same time, within a radius of dozens of kilometers, a dense atmosphere of killing filled the air. Dark clouds covered the sky as winds surged.
“They’ve really come!” Azure Dragon and his group simultaneously spoke with serious expressions on their faces.
Just from this aura alone, it could be felt that this battle would far surpass the previous one!
“Everyone, prepare yourselves!” Billy said in a low voice. “Elder Marquise and Elder Isaac should take their positions! Opal, you and Amber activate the city defense formation!”
Although he knew that his city defense formation would be of little use against absolute powerhouses, it was better than nothing. At least it could withstand some of the impact from their attacks.
“Understood!” Stephanie Stuart and Opal responded simultaneously before dispersing.
“Billy, this is going to be tough!” Just as everyone left, Purple Spirit’s voice echoed in Billy’s mind.
“What’s wrong?” Billy shifted his consciousness into his sea of knowledge.
“There are several people among their group with terrifying skills. I can’t defeat them!” Purple Spirit responded with a hint of fear in her voice.
“You can sense their strength from such a distance?” Billy asked.
“Yes!” Purple Spirit replied. “The strength of those people far surpasses that old man from last time!”
The old man she mentioned was undoubtedly Legend Hatfield from a few days ago!
…
Upon hearing her words, Billy took a deep breath.
If he remembered correctly, Legend Hatfield was a half step into the ninth-rank Holy Realm!
The implication of Purple Spirit’s words was that these people were strong beyond the Holy Realm?
It seemed that Sky City had mobilized all its forces this time!
“Billy, are they still coming for me?” Purple Spirit continued to ask, “Would you hand me over to them?”
“Do you want to go with them?” Billy asked in return.
“Of course not!” Purple Spirit pouted, “I don’t want to go anywhere. I just want to stay inside your body!”
After saying that, she continued in a pitiful tone.
“Billy, please don’t hand me over, I don’t want to go with them…”
“Don’t worry, I won’t!” Billy smiled and said, “Alright, let’s go meet them!”
After saying that, he turned to look at White Feather beside him.
“White Feather, the opponents this time are very strong, and it could be life-threatening. You don’t have to risk it with us; you can still leave now…”
Before Billy finished speaking, White Feather chirped a few times and shook his head vigorously.
“Alright then, let’s fight side by side once more!” Billy smiled and said.
White Feather nodded in response.
Then, one man and one flying beast flew away.
A few minutes later, they landed in an open area outside the city.
At the same time, a crowd of about two hundred people appeared on the horizon.
With their arrival, the oppressive atmosphere in the void thickened once more.
