“Billy, I need to rest for a while.”
After saying this, Purple Spirit transformed into a purple flame and merged into Billy’s body.
Billy then focused his mind inward to check on Purple Spirit’s condition. Seeing that she was only slightly weakened, he felt relieved.
The ensuing battle held no suspense.
With the addition of Billy and White Feather, the remaining enemies were all killed within five minutes without exception.
The Holy Heaven Sect was once again completely annihilated!
Half an hour later, after Billy helped treat everyone’s injuries, he instructed Stout and the others to collect all the storage rings from the Holy Heaven Sect members.
When they saw the contents of the storage rings, even Billy was slightly moved.
Especially those belonging to Mo Wu and other Otherworldly Realm experts; they contained a wealth of resources, including a large number of king-grade spirit stones.
“Catherine, thank you. This is for you!”
Billy flicked his finger, and a storage ring floated in front of Catherine Foreman.
“I didn’t do much; I don’t need it,” Catherine Foreman smiled lightly.
“Catherine, take it. You helped us a lot!” Harleen said.
“Really, I don’t need it,” Catherine Foreman smiled again. “Besides, I don’t lack these things.”
Seeing her refusal, Billy didn’t insist and took the storage ring back.
“Mr. Billy, what are your plans next?” Catherine Foreman asked Billy.
“We might stay in Canyon View City for a while,” Billy replied with a faint smile.
“Are you interested in joining the Institute?” Catherine Foreman continued. “In three months, the Akabuchi Prodigy List will be updated. With your qualifications, Mr. Billy, you definitely have a chance to make it!”
“The Akabuchi Prodigy List?” Billy and his group were taken aback.
“Yes,” Catherine Foreman nodded. “The Akabuchi Prodigy List is the most prestigious list in the entire Akabuchi star domain!”
She then explained the details of the Akabuchi Prodigy List to everyone.
“It sounds great!” Stout commented after hearing her explanation.
“Of course!” Catherine Foreman smiled and looked at Billy again. “I’ve already signed up Harleen and Ivy for the selection. Mr. Billy, would you like to join us?”
“Catherine, you’ve already signed us up?” Ivy was surprised.
Harleen also showed a look of astonishment.
“Yes,” Catherine Foreman responded with a smile. “If you make it onto the Prodigy List, it will be a great opportunity for both of you. Why not give it a try?”
“But…” Harleen began to speak.
“Harleen, Ivy, Catherine means well,” Billy interrupted with a smile.
“Thank you, Catherine!” Harleen and Ivy said after a moment of hesitation.
“We’re all from the same sect; no need to be so polite,” Catherine Foreman smiled again and then looked thoughtfully at Billy. “Mr. Billy, please understand that the Institute has its difficulties.”
“You don’t need to say that,” Billy smiled. “The Institute has already helped us a lot…”
“Mr. Billy, please consider my proposal,” Catherine Foreman interrupted with a smile before he could finish speaking.
“Alright!” Billy responded with a smile.
“I’ll wait for your good news!” Catherine Foreman then turned to Harleen and Ivy. “Harleen, Ivy, I’ll head back now. If you want to return to the Institute later, just send me a message.”
“Thank you, Catherine!” Harleen and Ivy nodded simultaneously.
Catherine Foreman then bid farewell to Aubree and the others before leaving.
“Boss, what did she mean by saying the Institute has its difficulties?” Judge asked Billy after Catherine left.
“When we fought with the Holy Heaven Sect earlier, there was an Entering Dao Realm expert hiding nearby. If I’m not mistaken, it should be one of the deans,” Billy replied.
“Really?” Judge asked again. “Then why didn’t he intervene?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” Night Orchid answered. “He didn’t want to openly confront the Holy Heaven Sect!”
“That’s part of it,” Aubree nodded. “But if we had been at a disadvantage earlier, he would have intervened.”
Billy nodded in agreement.
“Boss, should we join the Institute?” Stout asked.
“We’ll decide after Elder Xavier returns,” Billy said after some thought and then turned to Lance Wooler. “Elder Lance, do you know the strength of the Holy Heaven Sect’s leader?”
“Hmm?” Everyone was surprised by this question.
“I’m not entirely sure, but he should be at least mid-stage Entering Dao Realm,” Lance Wooler replied.
“Mid-stage Entering Dao Realm!” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Boss, why are you asking about this?” Soul Chaser asked.
“Billy Boy, are you planning to take action?” Opal looked at Billy and asked.
“It’s better to be proactive than reactive,” Billy nodded slightly.
“I agree!” White Tiger said loudly. “Otherwise, this will never end!”
“I agree!” Azure Dragon and Azure Fang echoed simultaneously.
Lance Wooler took a deep breath inwardly.
“Mr. Billy, although most of Holy Heaven Sect’s high-end combat power has been lost, their leader is still there. I’m worried…”
“It’s fine; I know what I’m doing,” Billy interrupted with a smile.
After pausing for a moment, he continued asking: “Elder Lance, does Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce have starships going to Holy Heaven City?”
“Yes,” Lance Wooler nodded. “Additionally, if you don’t want to take a starship, you can use the Teleportation Array.”
“Good!” Billy nodded and handed a storage ring to Lance Wooler. “Elder Lance, take this storage ring as thanks for your help earlier.”
“No need to thank me; I was just following orders from Miss,” Lance Wooler responded.
“Elder Lance, please accept it; it’s just a small token,” Opal added.
After some polite refusals, Lance Wooler finally accepted it.
Billy and his group then bid farewell to Lance Wooler and headed towards Elder Xavier’s orchard.
“Boss, when are we leaving for Holy Heaven City?” Azure Dragon asked after they arrived at the orchard.
“In a few days,” Billy replied and then instructed Stout: “Take out everything from those storage rings except for spirit stones and distribute them among everyone.”
“In the next few days, everyone should focus on cultivation and try to break through another level before we head to Holy Heaven City!”
“Understood!” Everyone responded simultaneously.
In the central area of Akabuchi star domain floated a massive city in space-Akabuchi City!
This city was enormous beyond imagination and could accommodate several Sky Cities within it.
It was the largest city in Akabuchi star domain and home to Domain Lord’s Mansion-Akabuchi Star Palace!
In the western part of Akabuchi City lay an expansive estate covering hundreds of thousands of square meters-Whitney Mansion!
The Whitney family had been established in Akabuchi City for over ten thousand years and was one of its undisputed rulers!
Anyone who underestimated Whitney family as just another family in Akabuchi City would be courting disaster!
The Whitney family’s influence was comparable to Canyon View Institute’s but slightly lesser; however, they were still formidable compared to Sky City-a mere speck in comparison!
For instance: Whitney family had genuine Entering Dao Realm experts-not just one but several!
In contrast: Sky City’s strongest individuals were only at late-stage Otherworldly Realm!
The gap between them was evident!
At the center of Whitney family’s estate stood an architecturally unique building where important matters were discussed by Whitney family’s Elder Pavilion members-five or six elders sat discussing recent events in Akabuchi City when suddenly…
A Whitney family disciple rushed in without announcement-causing an elder’s brow furrowed: “How dare you! Are you new here? Such disrespect! Get out!”
Ignoring him-the disciple trembled as he addressed Grand Elder sitting at head: “Grand Elder… something happened… to Young Master…”
