“Didn’t your ancestor ever tell you that greed can lead to one’s downfall?” The elder’s voice echoed again.
“Who exactly are you? Stop hiding and show yourself if you have the guts!” Reuben Aguirre responded in a deep voice after taking a deep breath.
As he spoke, he released his spiritual power once more to search the void, but found nothing.
“Stop looking, I’m here!” The elder replied again.
The next moment, a shadowy figure appeared beside Billy.
It was the same Ancestor of the Ravenwood family that Billy had seen under the pond earlier.
Everyone turned to look.
“Boss, who is he?” Azure Dragon asked Billy.
The others also looked at Billy, as they had all seen the elder emerge from his body.
“The Ravenwood family Ancestor with the Golden Bloodline from a thousand years ago!” Billy replied.
“What?!”
Everyone gasped in shock.
“Mr Billy, is this the expert who helped Sky City a hundred years ago?” Jorge Craft asked.
“Exactly!” Billy smiled.
Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath, their expressions varied.
The people from Sky City were relieved. With this expert present, today’s challenge seemed manageable. Many couldn’t help but show a hint of joy on their faces.
On the other hand, the people from Holy Heaven Sect, except for Reuben Aguirre, showed a trace of fear in their eyes. The mere mention of ‘the expert from a hundred years ago’ filled them with despair.
They knew that in the battle a hundred years ago, this expert had killed all the Holy Heaven Sect’s strongmen with just one move. Such power was unheard of!
Lydia Wooler also showed a hint of surprise. She hadn’t expected that the expert from a hundred years ago would still have a soul fragment in Sky City.
“Junior Jorge Craft greets the Ancestor of the Ravenwood family!” Jorge Craft steadied his emotions and bowed deeply to the elder.
Kian George, Lydia Wooler, and the others also bowed.
“Yes,” the Ancestor of the Ravenwood family nodded at them before turning to Lydia Wooler. “Are you from the Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce? What is your relationship with Judah Wooler?”
“Senior, you know my great-grandfather?” Lydia Wooler was slightly stunned.
“He is fortunate to have such an outstanding descendant like you!” The Ancestor of the Ravenwood family nodded slightly.
“Thank you for your praise, Senior!” Lydia Wooler bowed in response.
“Are you from the Craft Clan of Sky City?” The Ancestor of the Ravenwood family asked Jorge Craft.
“Yes, Senior!” Jorge Craft bowed again.
“Not bad!” The Ancestor of the Ravenwood family nodded. “You haven’t disgraced your ancestor!”
“Thank you for your praise, Senior!” Jorge Craft responded.
“Were you always inside Billy’s body?” Reuben Aguirre asked after taking a deep breath, looking at the Ancestor of the Ravenwood family.
“When Tucker Aguirre injured him so badly before, you didn’t intervene just to lure me out?”
“You guessed right!” The Ancestor of the Ravenwood family shrugged.
As he said, he had been inside Billy’s body since he emerged from the pond. He waited until now to reveal himself because he sensed that there were stronger individuals hiding besides Tucker Aguirre. To avoid alerting them prematurely, he stayed hidden. If he had shown himself too early, Reuben Aguirre might not have appeared.
As for why Tucker Aguirre and Reuben Aguirre couldn’t detect his presence, it was clearly due to their insufficient cultivation levels. Just like how they couldn’t detect the treasure inside Billy’s body.
“You overestimate yourself!” Reuben Aguirre spoke again. “If your true self were here, I might be wary. But you’re just a soul fragment now. Do you think you can defeat me?”
“And if I’m not mistaken, your soul fragment is about to dissipate soon, isn’t it?”
“Do you want to try?” The Ancestor of the Ravenwood family retorted.
“Why not!” Reuben Aguirre’s eyes narrowed. “Do you think a mere soul fragment can make me retreat without a fight? You underestimate Holy Heaven Sect!”
“Today, I’ll take this opportunity to destroy your soul fragment as interest for what happened a hundred years ago! In time, I’ll settle the score with your true self!”
“Ambitious!” The Ancestor of the Ravenwood family responded. “Then let’s not waste time. All of you come at me together!”
“So arrogant!” Reuben Aguirre frowned deeply.
He then looked at Tyrese Aguirre and Russell Aguirre. “The three of us will face him together!”
Although both were injured, they still possessed late-stage Otherworldly Realm cultivation. Even with injuries, they could at least exert early-stage Otherworldly Realm combat power.
“Alright!” They nodded in agreement.
“Billy, take everyone five kilometers back,” the Ancestor of the Ravenwood family instructed Billy.
“Ancestor, are you confident?” Billy couldn’t help but ask.
As mentioned earlier, the Ancestor was just a soul fragment now. Billy wasn’t entirely confident in his ability to defeat their opponents.
“Do you have so little faith in your ancestor?” The Ancestor of the Ravenwood family smiled faintly.
“Then be careful, Ancestor!” Billy led everyone to retreat.
Meanwhile, the remaining people from Holy Heaven Sect also retreated.
In just a few breaths’ time, only the Ancestor of the Ravenwood family and his three opponents remained on the scene.
“Aren’t you here to collect some interest? Make your move!” The Ancestor of the Ravenwood family said to Reuben Aguirre and his companions.
“I don’t have much time to waste on you, so you’d better give it your all because you’ll only get one chance!”
“Arrogant words!” Reuben Aguirre responded coldly and then looked at Tyrese Aguirre and Russell Aguirre. “Set up the Killing Array; don’t hold back. Finish this quickly!”
“Understood!” They nodded vigorously.
Immediately, a powerful aura erupted from their bodies, causing the pressure in the void to rise as if it would collapse at any moment.
People five or six kilometers away couldn’t help but shiver involuntarily.
The next moment, Reuben Aguirre and his companions disappeared from their original positions.
When they reappeared, they were positioned at three points around the Ancestor of the Ravenwood family, forming a triangle with him at its center.
Simultaneously, three nearly solidified barrier walls appeared around the Ancestor of the Ravenwood family. These walls moved towards him at a visible speed.
At that moment, the space within these walls twisted violently under immense pressure. Anyone inside would find their body contorted into an irregular shape before eventually exploding due to increasing pressure.
“Is this all you’ve got?” The voice of the Ancestor of the Ravenwood family echoed out.
“Too weak!”
