Chapter 1822: The Mastermind

At that moment, a powerful blast of air roared in, and the spear shattered instantly.
The airwave pushed Cayden Wooler back two to three hundred meters. Although he sustained some injuries, he managed to survive.
“Hmm?!” Amari Wooler turned to look at the figures approaching from the sky, frowning slightly.
“Greetings, President. Apologies for arriving a bit late!” The figures bowed to Kole Wooler as they landed nearby.
These individuals were also from the Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce’s Hall of Supreme Authority and had maintained a neutral stance during the previous incidents involving Gerardo Wooler and Lydia Wooler.
The strongest among them was Aaron Wooler, whose cultivation level was the same as Cayden Wooler’s, sixth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm!
Another was at fifth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm, and the remaining members were also quite powerful!
No wonder the Akabuchi star domain was second only to the Star Palace. The combat strength of these individuals alone surpassed that of the Holy Ghost Tribe!
“No problem!” Kole Wooler nodded slightly at them and pointed at Amari Wooler. “We’ll talk later. For now, let’s take him down together!”
“Understood!” they responded in unison.
Everyone’s aura surged rapidly as they charged towards Amari Wooler.
“Heh, you think you can take me down with just this lot? Dream on!”
Facing their assault, Amari Wooler stood his ground without any intention of retreating, a slight smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
“Careful, dodge quickly!” Kole Wooler’s pupils contracted as he shouted.
Before his words had even faded, a cataclysmic airwave surged forth, more powerful than thunder.
The three or four people at the front were simultaneously blown away. Among them, two first-rank Perceiving Dao Realm elders lost their lives mid-air.
Two other third-rank Perceiving Dao Realm elders crashed heavily to the ground, completely incapacitated and unable to get up for a long time.
The remaining few barely escaped disaster.
“Are you two backing Amari Wooler?” Kole Wooler turned to look at two figures on the right, frowning slightly.
As he spoke, his heart sank.
Both individuals were in the late stages of Perceiving Dao Realm. One was an eighth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm, and the other was already ninth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm!
Although he had anticipated that Amari Wooler’s backers would be strong, he hadn’t expected them to be this formidable!
Not only Kole but also Cayden Wooler and others showed a trace of solemnity on their faces as they sensed the cultivation levels of these two.
“Is that a problem?” the short elder replied indifferently.
“What’s your name?” Kole Wooler’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Does it matter to someone who’s about to die?” The short elder shrugged.
“Yue Elder?!” At that moment, Gerardo Wooler looked at the short elder in shock.
“Mr. Wooler, you know him?” Eugene Wooler asked Gerardo Wooler.
“Yes!” Gerardo Wooler nodded thoughtfully.
His rapid cultivation breakthrough was due to a secret technique that allowed him to absorb others’ essence and vitality for his own use.
He had initially captured Harleen and Ivy for this very purpose.
And this technique was taught to him by the elder standing before them.
Only Gerardo and Amari Wooler knew about this within the Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce; he hadn’t even told his father!
Amari knew because he had introduced this elder to Gerardo!
“Hmm?” Eugene Wooler was slightly taken aback. “How do you know him?”
“Damn it!” Gerardo didn’t answer, feeling a sense of foreboding.
Before today, he had been grateful to Amari for finding him a great mentor.
But now, he realized that Amari had introduced this elder with ill intentions.
However, he couldn’t figure out their exact motive yet.
“Mr. Wooler, are you surprised?” The short elder looked at Gerardo with a faint smile.
“Why did you teach me that technique?” Gerardo frowned, feeling uneasy.
“It’s simple!” The short elder sneered coldly.
“That technique can indeed help you quickly improve your cultivation, but it has a fatal flaw. When your cultivation reaches the mid-to-late stages of Entering Dao Realm, you’ll suffer a deadly backlash!”
“Unless I use my unique method to help you channel it, you’ll wish you were dead!”
“What do you want?” Gerardo asked, his face turning pale.
“Is it hard to understand?” The short elder sneered again.
“I initially hoped you’d control the Chamber of Commerce and become our puppet.”
“But I overestimated you; you messed up such a simple task!”
“You…” Gerardo’s face twisted in anger.
“Shut up!” The short elder’s tone turned cold. “If you say another word, I’ll make sure you never speak again!”
Gerardo wanted to retort but closed his mouth upon sensing the elder’s killing intent.
“Greetings, my lords!” At this moment, Amari approached the two elders and bowed.
“Hmm!” The taller elder nodded slightly and looked at Billy. “If I’m not mistaken, you’re that kid from Sky City with the surname Ling?”
“So, you’re eyeing the treasure within me?” Billy responded calmly. After a brief pause, he continued, “Are you from Great Blue Star Domain?”
Their identity wasn’t hard to guess!
In the entire Akabuchi star domain, only a handful of people had such power. If they were from Akabuchi star domain, Kole would have recognized them!
“Not bad. You know about Great Blue Star Domain!” The tall elder replied.
“It’s said you’re the top young talent in Akabuchi star domain, second only to the princess of Star Palace.”
“If you’re willing to join Great Blue Star Domain, I can recommend you. With your potential, you’ll be highly valued there, far more than staying here!”
“Would you consider it?”
“And what’s the condition? Do I have to surrender that treasure?” Billy smiled faintly.
“You may not understand the gap between Akabuchi star domain and Great Blue Star Domain!” The tall elder continued.
“Let me put it this way!”
“In Akabuchi star domain, even Akabuchi City is only a third-tier civilization!”
“But in Great Blue Star Domain, there are four or five fourth-tier civilizations alone. And Honglan City, where Domain Lord’s Mansion is located, is a fifth-tier civilization!”
“The level of civilization in Great Blue Star Domain is far beyond your little Akabuchi star domain!”
“You still haven’t answered my question. What’s the condition for joining?” Billy smiled again.
“The treasure within you is indeed a precious Sacred Object, but it’s also a burden for someone like you. Isn’t it just trouble?” The tall elder replied.
“Sorry, I don’t mind trouble!” Billy shrugged.
“Kid, you’d better not be ignorant of what’s good for you. Do you think you can keep that Sacred Object?” The short elder said coldly.
“I’ll give you three seconds to decide. If you don’t hand over the Sacred Object willingly, I’ll take it myself!”
“Then go ahead!” Billy smiled faintly again.
