“What happened?” Billy frowned and stood up.
“We were passing by a street full of shops selling herbs and pills with Mr. Kimmons and Stout,” Judge replied.
“Stout, out of curiosity, wandered around for a while. Then, an old man appeared out of nowhere and insisted on taking Stout as his disciple.”
“Stout refused, and the old man kidnapped him!”
“Hmm?” Billy frowned again. “Where did they take him?”
“We don’t know the exact location yet. Mr. Kimmons and Azure Dragon followed them,” Judge responded.
“Send a message to Casey and ask where he is now!” Billy instructed.
“Okay!” Judge said, taking out a sound transmission stone from his pocket.
Just as he took out the stone, it received a message.
“Boss, it’s from Mr. Kimmons. They are at the southern outskirts of the city,” Judge said after listening to the message.
“Let’s go check it out!” Billy said, quickly heading towards the door, followed closely by Judge and Soul Chaser.
Half an hour later, the three arrived at a hillside in the southern outskirts of the city.
In front of them was a small estate with a six-story tower in the center and several uniquely shaped buildings around it.
“Boss!” Casey and Azure Dragon quickly approached when they saw them.
Each had some minor injuries, but nothing serious.
“What’s the situation now?” Billy asked.
“The old man took Stout inside. He’s very powerful; we tried several times but were driven out,” Azure Dragon replied.
“Can you determine his cultivation level?” Billy asked Casey.
“We couldn’t detect it. Judging by the feel, he’s at least in the late stage of Entering Dao Realm,” Casey shook his head slightly.
“Let’s go in and take a look!” Billy frowned slightly.
He then stepped into the estate, followed closely by Casey and the others.
“Get out!”
As soon as they entered the courtyard, an old man’s voice rang out.
At the same time, a strong gust of wind surged towards them, howling fiercely.
Billy frowned slightly and raised his hand to block the wind with a palm strike.
A muffled sound echoed as Billy was pushed back several steps, causing the ground to crack like a spider web.
Just as he steadied himself, a second attack from the old man came, much stronger than the first.
Billy frowned again, activated his bloodline power, and used Celestial Black Finger to counterattack.
After a loud bang, Billy was pushed back seven or eight steps, with blood faintly visible at the corner of his mouth.
Now, using Celestial Black Finger with his bloodline power, he could contend with a second-rank Entering Dao Realm opponent.
But being pushed back so far by a casual move from the opponent clearly indicated that the attacker was at least in the late stage of Entering Dao Realm or even stronger.
“You are just a seventh-rank Otherworldly Realm cultivator, yet you can withstand 50-60% of my power. Interesting!” an old man’s voice rang out.
“Take another move from me. If you can withstand it, I’ll let you enter!”
As the old man spoke, ripples appeared in the air not far away.
A massive air vortex stirred the surrounding air violently, and the pressure in the entire estate instantly soared.
In the next moment, a nearly tangible wave of air surged from the vortex’s center with overwhelming force.
Wherever it passed, the surrounding space twisted, and the pressure reached its peak.
Judging by this momentum, the opponent had used at least 70-80% of his power, enough to contend with a mid-stage Entering Dao Realm cultivator.
As soon as the old man spoke, Billy moved too. His hands continuously turned as he activated Dragon Soaring Skies.
He didn’t sense any killing intent from the opponent’s aura, so he didn’t harbor any killing intent either.
Otherwise, if he had used ‘Cracked Sky,’ even without much defense from the opponent, it wouldn’t have been enough to kill him but would have severely injured him.
Moreover, he still had Purple Spirit within him, capable of killing Perceiving Dao Realm opponents!
In just a few moments, Nine Dragons Unite. A phantom divine dragon charged towards the opponent’s wave of air with lightning speed, creating a fierce windstorm.
A deafening roar echoed through the air as violent waves of air spread rapidly in all directions. Two buildings three to four hundred meters away immediately collapsed into dust clouds.
At the same time, Billy spat out blood and was thrown five or six hundred meters away before hitting the ground and retreating several steps.
But that was all!
Aside from blood at the corner of his mouth and slightly disordered breath, he wasn’t seriously injured.
With his current defensive ability, even a late-stage Entering Dao Realm opponent would find it hard to seriously injure him without going all out.
“Hmm?” Seeing this scene, an old man’s voice rang out in surprise not far away.
He was more than ten levels higher than Billy, yet Billy had so easily withstood nearly 70% of his power!
In over a hundred years of life, he had never seen such a talented genius!
Billy then saw a white-robed man appear within his sight range.
He couldn’t tell his exact age; he had a goatee and a slim build with no aura fluctuations around him.
A young woman in yellow robes around twenty-four or twenty-five years old followed closely behind him, holding Stout captive.
Judging by Stout’s demeanor, his power had clearly been sealed.
Though young, the woman in yellow robes was not weak; she was already at third-rank Otherworldly Realm!
At her age, having such cultivation clearly indicated she wasn’t ordinary!
“Boss, this old geezer has no real skills but insists on making me his disciple. Help me cripple him!” Stout shouted when he saw Billy. “Remember to leave him alive; I want to pluck his beard one hair at a time!”
“If you say one more word, I’ll knock out all your teeth!” The woman in yellow robes glared at Stout.
“Try it if you dare!” Stout sneered at her.
“You don’t know what’s good for you. As you wish!” The woman in yellow robes moved to strike as she spoke.
“Girl, stop!” The goateed old man commanded.
“Grandpa John Doe, he insulted you; he deserves to be punished!” The woman in yellow robes responded.
“Let him be stubborn for now,” the goateed old man said calmly.
“Are you his boss?” The goateed old man asked Billy next.
“What should I call you?” Billy countered.
“It’s been so long since anyone asked my name that I’ve forgotten it myself. They all call me John Doe,” the goateed old man replied.
“Old geezer, don’t think giving yourself such a name makes you cool!” Stout shouted again.
“I warn you, release me immediately, or I’ll have Purple Spirit sister destroy you!”
“Fatty, he promised to call me big sister before. Now he’s calling me sister again. I don’t care about him anymore!” Purple Spirit’s voice echoed in Billy’s mind simultaneously.
Billy was speechless.
