Lydia Wooler continued, “I heard the Holy Heaven Sect wanted Sky City to become their subordinate city. Sky City refused, leading to a conflict.”
“And then?” Billy pressed on.
“At that time, the City Lord’s Mansion of Sky City, and the top sects were united but still no match for the Holy Heaven Sect,” Lydia Wooler explained. “Just as the Holy Heaven Sect was about to take over the Sky City Lord’s Mansion, a mysterious and powerful figure appeared in Sky City.”
“It is said that with just one move, the top ten experts sent by the Holy Heaven Sect turned into dust.”
“After that, the Holy Heaven Sect retreated!”
With a hint of reverence in her eyes, she added, “Do you know that among those ten from the Holy Heaven Sect, the weakest was a mid-level Otherworldly Realm expert? Two of them were even beyond the Otherworldly Realm!”
“But incredibly, even with all ten working together, they couldn’t withstand a single move from that figure!”
“Do you know who that figure was?” Billy’s face showed a trace of shock.
“No one knows!” Lydia Wooler shook her head. “To this day, no one knows who he was, and he hasn’t appeared in Sky City since.”
“However, it is said that he later visited the Holy Heaven Sect’s headquarters. What he did there remains unknown.”
“People only know that since then, the Holy Heaven Sect gave up on conquering Sky City and hasn’t sent troops there for a hundred years.”
“So why are they here now?” Billy couldn’t help but ask. “Is the allure of the treasure I possess enough to make them take such a risk?”
“People, driven by their desires, relentlessly plunder; it’s very likely that they’re here for the treasure!” Lydia Wooler responded. “They are probably betting that the powerful figure won’t appear again. Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to act so recklessly!”
“Yes!” Billy nodded slightly and returned to the previous topic. “Which two forces have arrived in Sky City?”
“One of them is the group you encountered a few days ago!” Lydia Wooler replied.
“The Messenger Between Life and Death?” Billy’s pupils contracted slightly.
“Yes!” Lydia Wooler nodded. “The fact that you possess a treasure is no longer a secret!”
“The Messenger Between Life and Death worked for money, but now that they’ve heard about the treasure, they won’t give up easily.”
“And what about the other force?” Billy frowned slightly.
“The other force…” Lydia Wooler began.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in!” Lydia Wooler frowned slightly.
“Miss, sorry to disturb you!” Joel Wooler entered with a somewhat serious expression.
“What’s the matter?” Lydia Wooler asked.
“There is indeed something to report!” Joel Wooler walked closer and whispered a few words to Lydia Wooler.
“Are you sure?” Lydia Wooler frowned after listening.
“Eighty percent sure!” Joel Wooler responded.
“Go confirm it immediately!” Lydia Wooler waved her hand after a brief thought.
“Understood!” Joel Wooler bowed and left.
“What’s going on?” After Joel Wooler left, Billy looked at Lydia Wooler and asked.
“We might have guests coming!” Lydia Wooler nodded.
“What kind of guests?” Billy was slightly taken aback.
“The Savage Demon Tribe!” Lydia Wooler responded.
“The Savage Demon Tribe?” Billy was surprised; it was his first time hearing this name.
“Yes!” Lydia Wooler nodded and stood up. “They are the other force you asked about.”
“Hmm?” Billy’s pupils contracted slightly. “Are they coming for me?”
“What else?” Lydia Wooler smiled lightly. “Let’s go out and take a look!”
She walked towards the door, and Billy followed.
“Boss!” Ian Blade and his two companions approached when they saw Billy.
“Yes!” Billy nodded slightly.
“Boss, who’s this beautiful lady? Who is she?” Stout asked, looking at Lydia Wooler.
Ian Blade and Night Orchid also curiously examined Lydia Wooler.
“Nice to meet you all. I’m Lydia Wooler,” she smiled at them.
“Are you from Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce?” Stout asked further.
“She’s the young lady of Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce!” Billy answered for her.
“Oh?” The three were surprised simultaneously.
“We’ll talk later; let’s go out first!” Lydia Wooler smiled again.
She led them outside the palace.
Soon, they arrived at an open space in the center of the estate.
“Boss, what’s going on?” Stout asked Billy.
“Someone’s coming!” Billy replied.
“Someone’s coming? Who? And why?” Stout continued to ask.
Before Stout could finish his sentence, an overwhelming pressure swept towards the estate.
Ian Blade and his companions shivered involuntarily, their faces turning pale. Even though they hadn’t seen anyone yet, they knew from this aura alone that it was an Otherworldly Realm expert.
Suddenly, a figure fell from the sky. After hitting the ground heavily, he spat out blood and fainted with a weak breath.
“Hmm?”
Recognizing the person on the ground, even Billy couldn’t help but be surprised. The person lying there was Joel Wooler!
Such a strong person had been injured so severely in such a short time?
“Elder Joel!” Several members of Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce rushed over.
“Elder Xavier, take Elder Joel inside for treatment!” Lydia Wooler frowned and looked at an elderly man in gray robes.
“As you command!” The gray-robed elder nodded and helped Joel Wooler towards a nearby building.
Meanwhile, the oppressive aura had enveloped the entire area. Some members of Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce who had just rushed out of their rooms found it difficult to move and began trembling uncontrollably.
Soon, a group of people appeared in the distance. Leading them was a black-robed elder with a goatee and no visible aura fluctuations around him. Following him were three others-two elderly men and one middle-aged man. The white-haired elder among them was also an Otherworldly Realm expert, while the other two were half-step Otherworldly Realm experts.
“You scoundrels! Who are you to cause trouble at Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce? Do you have a death wish?” A middle-aged man from the chamber shouted angrily as soon as they landed.
Before he could finish his words, the black-robed elder casually raised his hand, sending the man flying and spitting blood upon hitting the ground.
“This is a warning. Anyone who dares to spout nonsense will die!” The elder said coldly.
Everyone around gasped in shock. That middle-aged man was a late-stage Holy Realm expert but had been easily swatted away!
“You court death!” An elderly man in the white robe from Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce shouted angrily and raised his hand to attack.
“Elder Harrison, stop!” Lydia Wooler ordered.
“But Miss…” Elder Harrison began to speak again.
“You are no match for him. Stand down!” Lydia Wooler interrupted him.
“If I’m not mistaken, you must be Miss Wooler from Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce?” The black-robed elder looked at Lydia Wooler and spoke calmly. “Even you have an interest in visiting a small place like Sky City.”
