“Miss Wooler, what do you mean?” Matteo Wooler and Joel Wooler asked simultaneously.
“The news about Mr Billy’s treasure, it first leaked from the Holy Heaven Sect in our star region, right?” Lydia Wooler said, staring ahead.
“How did they know a sacred artifact was lost in the Forbidden Ruins Space? Even our Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce didn’t receive any information. Where did they get this news from?”
“Miss Wooler, are you suggesting?” Matteo Wooler was slightly taken aback.
“One thing is certain, they are not the source of the information!” Lydia Wooler paused briefly before adding, “If my guess is correct, the information should have come from a higher civilization star region.”
“Miss Wooler, are you worried that forces from higher civilizations might enter our star region?” Matteo Wooler naturally understood Lydia Wooler’s concern.
“Highly likely!” Lydia Wooler nodded slightly. “It depends on whether Akabuchi Star Palace can hold the line!”
“If the Star Palace can’t hold it or is unwilling to take the risk, what do you think will happen?”
Hearing this, Matteo Wooler and Joel Wooler gasped.
They weren’t fools; they could easily imagine the consequences!
“Elder Matteo, contact headquarters and see what the Star Palace’s current stance on this matter is!” Lydia Wooler continued.
“Alright!” Matteo Wooler nodded.
“Miss Wooler, if the Holy Heaven Sect sends people to Sky City again, we…” Joel Wooler asked.
“They shouldn’t come to Sky City again in the short term!” Lydia Wooler interrupted him.
“Why?” Joel Wooler pressed.
“We can guess the Holy Heaven Sect’s next move. With Mr Billy’s intelligence, he surely can too!” Lydia Wooler responded.
“Miss Wooler, do you mean Mr Billy might go to Canyon View Institute?” Joel Wooler asked after a brief pause.
“Not might, he definitely will!” Lydia Wooler nodded. “Leaving Sky City for Canyon View Institute is his best option right now!”
“And as long as Mr Billy goes to Canyon View Institute, the Holy Heaven Sect won’t be eyeing Sky City for a while!”
“Understood!” Joel Wooler nodded.
“Elder Matteo, contact the Chamber of Commerce in Canyon View City.” Lydia Wooler thought for a moment before continuing.
“Have them monitor if there are any movements from the Holy Heaven Sect or other forces heading to Canyon View City recently!”
“Alright!” Matteo Wooler nodded again.
In the next two or three days, Billy and his group stayed inside the City Lord’s Mansion without stepping out.
Opal and Casey had varying degrees of injuries, so Billy spent an entire day healing everyone.
Once their injuries were mostly healed, they began training in the Gathering Spirit Array one after another.
In the recent battle, among the hundreds from the Holy Heaven Sect, except for those who were blasted into blood mist, almost everyone wore a storage ring.
After the battle ended that day, Stout and Judge spent half a day collecting all the storage rings.
It was undeniably a huge fortune.
Of course, Billy couldn’t keep all this wealth to himself. He had Stout keep a quarter and gave the remaining three-quarters to Jorge Craft to distribute among the various sects that participated in the battle that day.
Even with just a quarter of the share, it was enough for Casey and others to use for their training.
For the next two days, Billy focused on consolidating his cultivation and comprehending the ‘Arhat Palm Strike’ technique left by the Ancestor of the Ravenwood family.
As the Ancestor mentioned, this Arhat Palm Strike was indeed profound. With Billy’s martial talent, it took him two days and nights to barely grasp its basics.
After comprehending it, he felt deeply moved.
No wonder it was something left by the Ancestor. Although he hadn’t officially practiced it yet, he could already sense its formidable power.
During this period, Billy tried contacting Purple Spirit several times, but she didn’t respond.
He guessed Purple Spirit was still asleep, so he didn’t forcefully wake her up.
Billy had a vague premonition that after Purple Spirit devoured that Spiritual Line Origin, her abilities were not just upgraded in combat; there must be other changes as well.
However, he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what those changes were and decided to wait until Purple Spirit woke up to ask her.
On the evening of the third day, Jorge Craft visited the City Lord’s Mansion with news sent by Aubree through someone else.
According to Jorge Craft, Harleen and Ivy were safe at the Institute, so Billy didn’t need to worry too much.
Billy had been thinking about Harleen and Ivy these past few days. Hearing Jorge Craft’s words, he felt somewhat relieved.
On the morning of the fourth day, Billy went to a valley behind the City Lord’s Mansion to practice his palm technique. Casey and others followed along to watch.
“Let’s do it here. You all step back!” Billy said shortly after entering the valley with everyone.
“Alright!” Casey and others replied and retreated several hundred meters away.
Then, Billy activated his bloodline power, and his aura quickly surged.
In just a few moments, his ninth-rank late-stage Holy Realm cultivation was fully revealed. Casey and others felt a strong pressure permeate the entire valley.
Next, Billy began circulating his internal energy. His Chi power surged rapidly within him, gradually concentrating in his right arm.
His blood also became more active as his aura reached its peak.
Soon after, Billy raised his hand and drew several afterimages in the air, accompanied by piercing wind howls.
At the same time, a giant phantom hand appeared above Billy’s head with several air vortices forming in the sky.
The once clear sky became overcast with dark clouds. Thunder flashed, winds howled fiercely, and trees swayed violently on both sides.
The sky darkened significantly as a dense killing intent filled the valley, sending chills down everyone’s spine.
Casey and others couldn’t help but retreat another four or five hundred meters further away.
“Destroy!”
In the next moment, with Billy’s deep voice command, the phantom hand smashed forward like a small mountain.
A thunderous roar echoed through the void, deafeningly loud.
Simultaneously, a mountain peak four or five kilometers away exploded into pieces. The scene was almost leveled to the ground; rocks and trees were pulverized into dust as a mushroom cloud of debris shot into the sky.
Moreover, wherever that phantom hand passed, all leaves on nearby trees disintegrated into nothingness.
The tree trunks withered instantly as if invaded by some demonic energy.
Additionally, numerous flying beasts and animals in the forest died instantly without any struggle.
Such a spectacle was awe-inspiring!
Witnessing this scene from a kilometer away left Casey and others with their jaws dropped in shock.
What kind of palm technique is this?!
It’s too exaggerated!
One palm strike wiped out a mountain peak thousands of meters away?
And wherever it passed, not even grass survived?
Not just them; even Billy himself was quite surprised.
Although it was his first time using it, he felt it was already stronger than Celestial Black Finger.
The only downside compared to Celestial Black Finger might be that it wasn’t as convenient to activate and required some time.
This was also related to him just starting to practice it. Given time, once he could use it proficiently, he would naturally be able to wield it at will!
