“Billy, how are you?” Billy approached Purple Spirit.
“Billy, I’m fine. I just need to rest for a while,” Purple Spirit said before turning into a purple flame and merging into Billy’s body.
Billy transferred his soul sense into his sea of consciousness to check on Purple Spirit’s condition. Seeing that she was not seriously injured, he felt relieved.
Soon, Billy and White Feather landed on the ground, and Aubree and Opal joined them.
The people from the Whitney family who had been attacking Opal and the others were all killed without exception.
At this point, over ninety percent of those in the Whitney family manor with Holy Realm cultivation or higher were dead.
“Casey, cripple the cultivation of all remaining Whitney family warriors. Kill anyone who resists,” Billy instructed Casey.
At that moment, a petite figure ran over and knelt in front of Billy. It was Alondra Whitney, the woman Billy had saved earlier. She had regained her strength and reached the second-rank Otherworldly Realm.
“Please, spare the Whitney family. If you show mercy, Alondra Whitney will repay you in any way…” Alondra Whitney pleaded, choking on her words as she kowtowed to Billy.
An hour earlier, Billy had told her that after tomorrow, there would be no more Whitney family in Akabuchi City. She hadn’t taken his words seriously at the time. After all, the Whitney family had been established in Akabuchi City for many years and was filled with powerful individuals. It seemed impossible for them to be wiped out so easily.
But now, in such a short time, all the strong members of the Whitney family were either dead or severely injured. It felt like a dream to her, hard to believe.
“You haven’t left yet?” Billy was surprised.
“Benefactor, not everyone in the Whitney family is guilty of heinous crimes. Please…” Alondra Whitney pleaded again.
“Take your close relatives and leave here. Don’t come back,” Billy interrupted her.
“Benefactor…” Alondra Whitney continued to sob.
“Go!” Billy said sternly.
“Thank you for your great kindness!” Alondra Whitney took a deep breath, kowtowed three times to Billy, and then got up.
Soon after, Billy walked up to Colby Whitney and removed the barrier around him. He then flicked a few strands of energy into Colby Whitney’s body.
“Ugh…” Colby Whitney slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the scene around him, a deep sorrow flashed across his face. Especially when he saw White Feather unharmed nearby, he felt utterly hopeless. White Feather’s presence meant that the soul sense of the Whitney family’s Ancestor was gone. The Whitney family was finished!
At that moment, he felt a pang of regret. If he had known it would end like this, he wouldn’t have accepted the gift from the Holy Ghost Tribe. Not only did he fail to avenge his son, but he also dragged his entire family into ruin.
“Where are Harleen and Ivy?” Billy asked coldly.
“If I hand them over to you, will you spare the other members of the Whitney family?” Colby Whitney asked with difficulty.
“Do you think you are in any position to negotiate with me?” Billy responded coldly.
“If you don’t agree, I’ll take everyone in the Whitney family down with them…” Colby Whitney continued.
Before he could finish speaking, three silver needles pierced his body.
“Ah…” Colby Whitney rolled on the ground in pain. After a moment, he shouted loudly, “Stop… They’re in the Whitney family dungeon. I’ll take you there…”
Billy then sent out a palm wind to remove the silver needles.
Colby Whitney lay on the ground, gasping for breath.
“Lead the way!” Billy commanded sternly.
Billy and Aubree followed Colby Whitney deeper into the manor. After about ten minutes, they entered a circular building and headed to the basement. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the dungeon.
Looking around, they saw over a dozen bodies at the entrance, all killed with a single sword strike to the throat. Judging by the coagulated blood, they had been dead for about half an hour.
“Hmm?!” Seeing these bodies, Billy frowned and felt a sense of foreboding.
He then raised his hand and blasted the dungeon door into powder before quickly stepping inside. It was empty! There wasn’t a single person inside!
“Where are they?” Billy asked coldly, looking at Colby Whitney as a murderous aura emanated from him.
“I… I don’t know…” Colby Whitney replied with a confused expression. It was clear that he had no idea what had happened either.
“You deserve to die!” Aubree said with a frown.
“I really don’t know what happened. I clearly locked them up here…” Colby Whitney continued.
“Besides your Whitney family, who else in Akabuchi City knows that you captured Harleen and Ivy?” Billy interrupted angrily.
“No one else should know,” Colby Whitney shook his head. “To avoid complications, not many people in the Whitney family even knew…”
“Besides your collusion with the Holy Ghost Tribe, what other forces do they have dealings with?” Billy pressed on.
“I don’t know…” Colby Whitney shook his head again but added, “But one thing is certain: besides us, they definitely have other allies in Akabuchi City…”
“Which force is most likely?” Aubree asked.
“I don’t know…” Colby Whitney shook his head again.
Before he could finish speaking, Billy sent out a burst of energy that turned him into a cloud of blood mist. A storage ring clattered to the ground. The head of the Whitney family had fallen!
“The enemy must have acted while we were fighting the Whitney family,” Aubree said gravely.
“Yes,” Billy nodded grimly. The enemy must have struck before he set up the barrier; otherwise, he would have sensed it.
“Mr Billy, don’t worry too much. Harleen and Ivy will be fine,” Aubree tried to comfort Billy after taking a deep breath. Although she said this, she was equally worried. Even if they were only captured temporarily, it didn’t guarantee their safety from other dangers!
“Let’s go back,” Billy exhaled deeply.
An hour later, Billy and his group returned to the inn on the east side of town. As for the remaining members of the Whitney family, except for those taken by Alondra Whitney, all other warriors had their cultivation crippled. Many who resisted were sent directly to meet their end. Of course, Billy didn’t forget to have Casey collect storage rings from everyone above Otherworldly Realm level, including Ayaan Hatfield and another elder from the Holy Ghost Tribe.
Additionally, before leaving, Casey, Opal, and Amber swept through the Whitney family’s treasury and took everything valuable. It’s worth mentioning that as one of Akabuchi City’s prominent families, the Whitney family’s wealth was astonishingly vast-surpassing even that of the Holy Heaven Sect at its peak.
“What? Harleen and Ivy aren’t in the Whitney family manor?!” Azure Dragon and Azure Fang exclaimed simultaneously after hearing Billy’s report in the inn’s courtyard. Worry was etched on everyone’s faces.
