“What do you think will be the outcome, given my brother’s way of handling things?” Lydia Wooler continued to ask.
“There will definitely be a full-scale conflict with Mr. Billy…” Matteo Wooler seemed to realize something as he spoke.
After a brief pause, he continued, “Miss Wooler, do you mean that even the president hasn’t figured out the best way to handle this?”
“He sent you to Canyon View City because he knows you won’t have a conflict with Mr. Billy for now.”
“This way, he can appease the Elder Pavilion and give himself some time to think.”
“Yes!” Lydia Wooler nodded slightly, looking thoughtful.
“That treasure is a hot potato. I hope Father can think this through!”
“The president should figure it out!” Matteo Wooler responded and then asked, “Miss Wooler, who are you planning to take with you? Just you and me?”
“If it’s just the two of us, it would be meaningless and hard to explain!” Lydia Wooler thought for a moment before continuing.
“Go and tell the Grand Elder to personally lead a team of Black Flame Army to accompany me!”
“Hmm?” Hearing the words “Black Flame Army,” Matteo Wooler’s pupils contracted slightly.
As an elder of the Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce, he knew very well what kind of existence the Black Flame Army was.
The Black Flame Army was small in number, but each member was an elite among elites, with the lowest cultivation at the early stage of the Otherworldly Realm!
The annual expenditure on training the Black Flame Army was astronomical!
The Black Flame Army was one of the true trump cards of the Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce!
“Miss Wooler, do we really need to mobilize the Black Flame Army?” Matteo Wooler asked after a brief pause.
“Only this way can we silence some people!” Lydia Wooler nodded slightly and waved her hand. “Go, let the Grand Elder pick twenty people. We leave in three days!”
“Understood!” Matteo Wooler responded and turned to leave.
After Matteo Wooler left, Lydia Wooler stared ahead and muttered to herself.
“Gerardo, I hope you don’t make a mistake!”
…
Time passed quickly, and three days went by in a flash.
That morning, Catherine Foreman came to the orchard specifically to take Harleen, Ivy, and Aubree back to the Institute, saying that the dean needed them for something.
The three bid farewell to everyone and followed Catherine Foreman back to the Institute.
“Boss, why hasn’t Mr. Kimmons come out yet? Could something have happened to him?” Night Orchid looked at Billy and asked.
“Don’t worry; he’s fine!” Billy smiled. “I checked on him last night. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be done today!”
“Really?” Night Orchid’s eyes lit up.
“Yes!” Billy nodded.
“Boss, if Mr. Kimmons fully refines that soul essence, he should be able to advance two levels, right?” Azure Dragon asked.
“Don’t underestimate that soul essence!” Billy chuckled.
“What do you mean?” White Tiger asked in surprise. “Mr. Kimmons might advance three or four levels?”
“Anything is possible, isn’t it?” Billy smiled again.
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures walked over-Felicia and Casey.
“Mr. Kimmons, you’re out?” Azure Dragon and others called out simultaneously.
“Yes!” Casey smiled and nodded.
“Mr. Kimmons, tell us your current cultivation level. Have you reached the Otherworldly Realm?” Stout asked eagerly.
“Third-rank Otherworldly Realm-not bad!” Before Casey could respond, Billy smiled and said.
“What?!” Everyone exclaimed simultaneously with exaggerated expressions.
In just a few days, he had advanced four levels?!
“Mr. Kimmons, have you really reached third-rank Otherworldly Realm?” Stout asked again.
“The soul essence was too powerful; I still can’t fully integrate it.” Casey smiled and nodded in response.
“I owe it all to Boss; otherwise, I might have gone mad last night!”
Hearing his confirmation, everyone couldn’t help but gasp in amazement.
Unbelievable!
“In your current state, it’s still difficult for you to wield that Demon Blade. Don’t use it unless absolutely necessary!” Billy advised Casey.
“When you’ve fully integrated that soul essence, maybe you can try.”
“For now, practice with your own sword on the Demon Blade Technique.”
“Understood!” Casey nodded solemnly.
After a brief pause, he looked at Billy and asked, “Boss, what’s our next move?”
“Boss, how about we go back to Sky City?” Stout suggested eagerly.
“You can now use that treasure in battle anytime. Even if we return to Sky City, we don’t have to worry about anyone trying to steal it!”
“Stout, who told you Boss could use that treasure anytime?” Azure Dragon asked.
“Didn’t Boss already use it in Black Domain City last time?” Stout replied.
“Stout, do you only listen halfway?” Felicia rolled her eyes at him in exasperation.
“Billy could use that treasure because he agreed to that white-robed man’s conditions; otherwise, he wouldn’t have helped.”
“We can negotiate with him again next time. As long as there’s room for negotiation,” Stout shrugged his shoulders.
As soon as he finished speaking, Billy frowned slightly and took out a sound transmission stone from his pocket, covering it with spiritual power.
“Hmm?!” After listening to the transmission, Billy’s pupils contracted slightly.
“Boss, what’s wrong? What happened?” Casey asked.
“Holy Heaven City is in trouble!” Billy put away the sound transmission stone and stood up. “We need to go there immediately!”
Everyone stood up simultaneously.
Then they quickly flew towards the teleportation base.
“Boss, what happened in Holy Heaven City?” Azure Dragon asked mid-air.
“I’m not sure exactly!” Billy shook his head. “Lord Reid’s transmission said there was an invasion by powerful enemies they couldn’t fend off!”
“Did he say who they were?” Azure Dragon pressed on.
“No,” Billy shook his head again.
Meanwhile, inside Holy Heaven City,
The entire City Lord’s Mansion was enveloped in a terrifying aura of pressure. In mid-air stood three or four hundred people dressed uniformly in black robes with black-and-white masks on their heads. Except for the three leaders at the front, everyone else held scythes over two meters long that emitted an intense chilling aura.
If Billy’s group were here, they would recognize them as messengers between life and death from their previous encounter in Sky City!
The leader was nicknamed Death-the current head of Yin Yang Sect!
Following him were two Vice Sect Masters of Yin Yang Sect!
“You down there listen up; my patience is limited. You have ten seconds to decide!”
An elder looked towards City Lord’s Mansion and spoke sternly,
“Surrender or die!”
