“Oh?” Lydia Wooler smiled faintly. “Tell me more.”
“No matter if it’s the Savage Demon Tribe or the Holy Heaven Sect, their target is the so-called supreme treasure on me,” Billy continued calmly.
“So, as long as I stay in Sky City, this city will be in danger.”
“Conversely, if I leave Sky City, it might be safe.”
“If Mr Billy plans to leave here, I can provide a place for you to stay,” Lydia Wooler nodded slightly.
“With your martial arts talent and potential, I believe that given a little more time, there won’t be many under this starry sky who can match you.”
“At that time, perhaps you will also be able to separate that supreme treasure from your body.”
“When that time comes, the decision of where to go will be in your hands.”
“Thank you for your kindness, Miss Wooler!” Billy smiled. “But I’m not one to run away!”
“That’s not called running away; it’s a temporary measure…” Lydia Wooler continued.
“Miss Wooler, have you considered what the Holy Heaven Sect would do if they can’t find me?” Billy interrupted her.
“Are you worried they will take action against the Forbidden Ruins Space and the outside world?” Lydia Wooler asked after a slight pause.
“What do you think?” Billy smiled faintly.
In fact, he had already thought about what Lydia Wooler mentioned.
Leaving Sky City and hiding somewhere until he truly grew stronger.
By then, it would be the Holy Heaven Sect who should be afraid.
However, he obviously couldn’t do that!
If the Holy Heaven Sect couldn’t find him, they would definitely take action against the Forbidden Ruins Space and the outside world to force him out!
So, he couldn’t really hide somewhere!
“But…” Lydia Wooler continued.
“Thank you, Miss Wooler!” Billy interrupted her again.
“It’s not time to leave Sky City yet. When it really becomes necessary, I’ll trouble you then!”
“Alright!” Lydia Wooler didn’t persuade him further.
Then, Billy led Ian Blade and the other two to leave.
After the four figures disappeared from sight, the black-robed elder approached Lydia Wooler.
With a thoughtful tone, he spoke.
“Miss Wooler, the trouble he faces is not small. If we really want to intervene, we must be mentally prepared.”
“The Savage Demon Tribe and the messenger between life and death are not much of a concern, but the Holy Heaven Sect’s power surpasses ours…”
“I know!” Lydia Wooler nodded slightly and then asked.
“Has there been any confirmation about the supreme treasure on him? Any feedback from headquarters?”
“Not yet!” The black-robed elder shook his head. “But our guess should be pretty close!”
“I need a definite answer!” Lydia Wooler responded. “Urge headquarters to hurry up!”
“Understood!” The elder nodded.
After a slight pause, he continued. “Miss Wooler, if it really is the supreme treasure we suspect, it will be a hot potato. We…”
“You think I’m after that supreme treasure?” Lydia Wooler interrupted him.
“Forgive my ignorance. What are your intentions then, Miss Wooler?” The elder was slightly taken aback.
“I want to confirm the authenticity of that treasure to assess what level of opponents he might face!” Lydia Wooler responded.
“You’re interested in his potential?” The elder was once again taken aback.
“But although he has limitless potential, right now he is too weak!”
“A talented genius who hasn’t grown up yet doesn’t hold much value. Betting on him might be too risky.”
“Though risky, it’s worth a shot!” Lydia Wooler mused.
“But headquarters might have different opinions. If you insist on this path, I’m worried about…”
“Enough, let’s not talk about this anymore!” Lydia Wooler interrupted him again.
“Pass down orders to keep an eye on the Holy Heaven Sect’s movements. Report immediately if there’s any discovery!”
“Understood!” The elder didn’t try to persuade her further.
After the elder left, Lydia Wooler looked into the sky and spoke softly.
“I hope you won’t disappoint me!”
An hour later, Billy and his three companions returned to Ethereal Sect.
“Billy Boy, are you hurt? What happened?” As soon as they entered the courtyard, Opal and Casey surrounded them.
“Billy, are you alright?” Felicia asked simultaneously.
“I’m fine!” Billy responded.
Then he briefly described what had happened today.
After hearing Billy’s words, everyone had a serious expression on their faces.
“Boss, why don’t we ask Mr Craft to see if he can detect the supreme treasure inside you?” Judge suggested.
“If possible, let him extract it and hand it over to Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce…”
“Judge, don’t forget that even the old master couldn’t detect that treasure. Do you think Mr Craft can?” Frostblade replied.
“That’s true!” Judge sighed.
“I wonder when the old master will return.” Soul Chaser added. “If the Holy Heaven Sect attacks and the old master isn’t here, how will we resist?”
No one could answer his question!
“Mr Billy, I heard something happened to you?” At this moment, Jorge Craft walked in quickly from the entrance.
“Thank you for your concern, Mr Craft. It’s nothing serious!” Billy smiled faintly and greeted him.
“Which faction made a move?” Jorge Craft continued to ask.
“Savage Demon Tribe!” Billy replied.
“Savage Demon Tribe?” Jorge Craft was slightly taken aback and then frowned. “They really are courting death!”
“Mr Craft, I heard that a hundred years ago there was a great war between Sky City and the Holy Heaven Sect?” Billy asked.
“Yes!” Jorge Craft nodded solemnly.
“In that battle, Sky City was like a living hell with nearly a million casualties. It was truly a sea of corpses and blood!”
“If it weren’t for that peerless expert’s assistance, Sky City might have become a dead city!”
“Even today, those who experienced that battle still shudder when talking about it!”
After speaking, he paused slightly and then described what he knew to everyone.
“If there’s such deep enmity between Sky City and the Holy Heaven Sect, why did City Lord’s Mansion seek Holy Heaven Sect as an ally this time?”
After listening to him, Black Tortoise frowned tightly.
“People are greedy!” Jorge Craft responded.
“Robert Hatfield needs Spiritual Line Origin to break through Plane Law’s constraints. To obtain it, he must first get past Guardian Alliance.”
“If he relies solely on City Lord’s Mansion’s strength, he isn’t confident in opposing Guardian Alliance. So he had to seek external help.”
“He initially only invited Savage Demon Tribe. Later, to ensure success, he contacted Holy Heaven Sect as well.”
“Isn’t he worried about inviting trouble?” Vermilion Bird asked.
“Perhaps for him, breaking through constraints is all that matters!” Jorge Craft mused in response.
“What a scoundrel!” Soul Chaser replied. “It’s fortunate that he was destroyed by that supreme treasure; otherwise who knows how many people would have died!”
“Mr Craft, Holy Heaven Sect’s main target is me.” Billy thought for a moment before speaking.
“If I stay in Sky City, it will bring disaster upon this city. So I plan to…”
“Mr Billy worries too much!” Jorge Craft interrupted him.
“With Holy Heaven Sect’s ambition, even without your presence they wouldn’t spare Sky City!”
“They’ve always hoped to turn Sky City into their vassal city!”
“Whether you’re here or not, there will eventually be a battle between Sky City and them!”
After speaking, without waiting for Billy’s response, he continued.
“Mr Billy should focus on healing at home while I arrange for a meeting with other sect leaders in Sky City to discuss defense strategies!”
“Thank you very much, Mr Craft!” Billy took a deep breath and nodded.
