“Billy Boy, don’t worry too much. With Ivy’s wits, she shouldn’t be in too much danger for now,” Opal said, looking at Billy.
“Opal, did they leave any message?” Harleen asked.
“No,” Opal shook his head.
“Do we know where they took Ivy and the others?” Billy frowned deeply.
“They didn’t say, but it’s likely they took them back to the Sacred Hall Sect headquarters,” Opal replied.
“Boss, I asked Miss Sutton and Poppy, but no one knows where the Sacred Hall Sect headquarters is,” Azure Dragon added gravely.
Billy exhaled heavily, his face darkened.
Leaving aside the strength of the Sacred Hall Sect, they didn’t even know where their base was. How could they rescue anyone?
“I’ll heal your injuries first,” Billy said after adjusting his emotions slightly.
He then took out silver needles and got to work.
Everyone’s injuries were severe, including Natasha Sutton and Poppy, so it took Billy and Harleen an entire day to finish treating them.
“Billy Boy, Ivy and Stout can’t hold out for long. Waiting like this isn’t a solution,” Amber said, looking at Billy with a serious expression.
“We don’t even know where the Sacred Hall Sect’s base is. Unless they come to us, we don’t have a better plan,” Judge replied.
“There’s someone who might know where the Sacred Hall Sect is,” Harleen said thoughtfully.
“Who?” Casey and the others looked at Harleen simultaneously.
“Old Alfie!” Billy answered for Harleen.
He had thought of this possibility yesterday. Given Old Alfie’s vast knowledge of both celestial and terrestrial matters, he might indeed know the location of the Sacred Hall Sect’s base.
Billy had planned to head to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion yesterday, but everyone’s injuries couldn’t wait, so he had to postpone it.
“Oh right! How could I forget him!” Judge exclaimed.
“Billy Boy, there’s no time to lose. Let’s head to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion immediately!” Amber urged Billy.
“Your injuries aren’t fully healed yet. Harleen and I will go,” Billy responded.
“Boss, our injuries are almost healed. Let us come with you…” Azure Dragon began.
“We’re just going to ask for directions at the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. It’s not a big deal. You all stay at the Domain Lord’s Mansion and focus on healing,” Billy interrupted him.
“Billy Boy, you and Harleen be careful and stay safe,” Opal advised Billy.
“Got it,” Billy nodded.
After giving a few more instructions, Billy and Harleen turned and left.
Great Blue City had a teleportation channel to Northern Abyss City. The two of them traveled at full speed and arrived at the gates of Northern Abyss City two hours later.
Along the way, they took out seven or eight high-grade beast cores from their storage rings for refining.
Both knew that their upcoming opponents would be far stronger than any they had faced before. Their current cultivation levels were too low and needed to be improved quickly.
Fortunately, resources for cultivation were abundant. They still had more than half of the beast cores obtained from Another World left unrefined.
Moreover, after their battle with David Roth and his men in Great Blue City, they had acquired a large number of spirit stones and Spirit Fruit, enough to sustain them for a long time.
“Mr. Billy!” As soon as they arrived at the city gates, Samuel Sparks and several elders from Sky Cloud Pavilion greeted them.
Billy had already informed Samuel Sparks before departure to prepare a starship.
Samuel Sparks initially intended to accompany Billy to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion with his people, but Billy declined, asking only for someone to guide them there.
Seeing Billy’s determination, Samuel Sparks did not insist further.
However, he personally piloted the starship, taking Billy and Harleen to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.
During the journey, Samuel Sparks focused on piloting while Billy and Harleen concentrated on their cultivation.
Billy had already glimpsed the threshold of the ninth-rank Sacred Realm last time. With the help of his bloodline power and several high-grade beast cores, he broke through without any surprises.
A powerful aura erupted from him, revealing his ninth-rank Heaven Dao Realm cultivation!
Although Harleen hadn’t broken through yet, she was only a step away.
After about an hour, the three arrived at the archway of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.
To their surprise, there were no guards in sight at the archway either.
“Something’s not right. Why is it so quiet?” Samuel Sparks remarked.
“Let’s go up and see!”
Billy frowned slightly as he ascended the stone steps, followed closely by Samuel Sparks and Harleen.
Soon, they reached the gates of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion estate. The gates were tightly shut, with four men standing guard outside.
“The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is not receiving guests today. Leave!” one of the guards said sternly after sizing up the trio, a strange look flashing in his eyes.
Before he finished speaking, Billy struck with his palm, sending all four guards flying and shattering the estate gates into pieces.
As they stepped into the estate, Samuel Sparks and Harleen gasped involuntarily.
The estate was littered with severed limbs and rivers of blood. Most of the bodies were disciples of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion; there wasn’t a single survivor in sight.
“Bastards! Who are you people?”
Hearing the commotion, an elder led a dozen men towards them from above. Judging by his aura, he was at third-rank Heaven Dao Realm cultivation.
“Do you recognize him?” Billy asked Samuel Sparks.
“He shouldn’t be from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion,” Samuel Sparks shook his head.
Although he wasn’t particularly familiar with everyone in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, he knew all their Heaven Dao Realm experts by sight.
“I’m talking to you! Are you deaf…” The elder roared as he approached them.
Before he could finish speaking, a curved blade light slashed out.
“Courting death!” The elder didn’t take Billy seriously and raised his hand to meet the attack.
Mid-air, the blade light flashed past him, splitting his body in two as he fell to the ground lifelessly.
Simultaneously, Harleen and Samuel Sparks attacked together.
Among their remaining opponents, the strongest was only at half-step Heaven Dao Realm; naturally, they were no match for Harleen and Samuel Sparks.
In just a few moments, all their opponents lay dead on the ground without a single survivor.
“Let’s check further inside!” Billy said gravely as he led them deeper into the estate.
Just as they advanced a few hundred meters, an overwhelming aura swept towards them-a terrifying presence indicating an eighth-rank Heaven Dao Realm cultivator was approaching.
“Purple Spirit, he’s yours. If possible, leave him alive,” Billy instructed.
“Got it!” Purple Spirit responded before darting out from Billy’s body and quickly heading towards their opponent’s direction.
Billy then led Harleen deeper into the estate.
