Upon hearing his words, Harleen and Samuel Sparks couldn’t help but gasp in amazement.
Such power, just hearing about it was enough to make one despair!
“I have a reason I must go!” Billy looked at the other party and replied.
“Mr. Billy, you’re going to save someone, aren’t you?” Old Alfie asked.
“To be honest, yes!” Billy nodded.
“The person you want to save may not necessarily be at the Sacred Hall Sect headquarters!” Old Alfie continued.
“What do you mean?” Harleen was taken aback again. “Senior, do you know where Ivy and Stout are?”
“I’m just guessing; I don’t know their exact location,” Old Alfie shook his head and continued.
“If Mr. Billy trusts me, you might as well tell me the general appearance and basic information of your two friends. I’ll try to divine their location.”
“Thank you, Senior!” Billy nodded in response.
Subsequently, Old Alfie and his son led Billy and the others to a circular building deep within the estate.
The hall of the building was quite large, at least two to three thousand square meters. In the center of the hall’s floor was a circular pattern nearly a thousand square meters in diameter, depicting a vast star domain.
Anyone familiar with this third-tier star domain would recognize that the pattern was a miniature representation of it.
Additionally, nine stone pillars of varying heights but uniform thickness stood around the hall.
After a while, Old Alfie received the basic information about Ivy and Stout. A powerful spiritual force emanated from his brow, sweeping across the surroundings.
Immediately, a mist erupted from the tops of the nine stone pillars, filling every corner of the hall in just a few blinks of an eye.
About five or six minutes later, a slowly rotating yin-yang eight diagrams appeared about ten meters above the star domain pattern.
As time passed, the rotation speed of the eight diagrams increased. Soon, everyone could only see a blurry shadow spinning rapidly in mid-air.
Simultaneously, the star domain pattern on the ground began to show signs of movement, as if undergoing a transformation.
Amazingly, after another quarter of an hour or so, two faint human figures appeared between the star domain pattern and the eight diagrams-none other than Ivy and Stout.
Seeing this scene, Billy, Harleen, and Samuel Sparks couldn’t help but show expressions of astonishment.
“Mr. Billy, your two friends are indeed not at the Sacred Hall Sect headquarters.” After the hall returned to calm, Old Alfie looked at Billy and spoke.
“Then where are they?” Harleen couldn’t help but ask.
“Abyssal Depths City!” Old Alfie responded.
“Abyssal Depths City?” Billy was slightly taken aback. “Where is that?”
“Abyssal Depths City is located at the edge of the Great Blue Star Domain, quite a distance from here,” Old Alfie continued.
“It’s not far from the Sacred Hall Sect headquarters; it’s the stronghold of Hades, one of the three kings of the Sacred Hall Sect. Hades is also one of the most powerful figures in the Sacred Hall Sect, second only to their hall master!”
“Abyssal Depths City should have a teleportation channel directly to near Great Blue City, but outsiders might have trouble finding the entrance.”
“Senior, how long would it take to travel there by starship?” Harleen asked.
“At least about a month!” Old Alfie responded.
“That long?” Billy frowned slightly.
For him, Ivy and Stout being in the hands of their enemies for a month was too long; no one could guarantee what might happen during that time.
“Yes,” Old Alfie nodded. “Even with the fastest second-tier starship, it would take about twenty-five or twenty-six days!”
“Starships are also graded?” Billy and Harleen were both taken aback.
“You didn’t know?” Alfie was slightly surprised before continuing.
“The starships you took in Akabuchi Star Domain vary in size and speed but are all considered first-tier starships.”
“In contrast, all starships in the Great Blue Star Domain are second-tier starships. You should have noticed they’re much faster than those in Akabuchi Star Domain.”
“Indeed,” Harleen nodded.
“However, as far as I know, there should be a third-tier starship in Domain Lord’s Mansion, which is also the only third-tier starship in the entire Great Blue Star Domain. It’s much faster than second-tier ones!” Old Alfie continued.
“If you take a third-tier starship to Abyssal Depths City at full speed, you should be able to get there within ten days!”
“Are you sure Domain Lord’s Mansion has a third-tier starship?” Billy’s eyes lit up.
“Absolutely,” Old Alfie nodded in response.
“That’s great!” Billy continued. “Senior, please provide me with a map of Abyssal Depths City.”
“Mr. Billy, my father and I have been to Abyssal Depths City before. If you don’t mind, I can guide you there,” Isaac Kaur offered.
“Thank you for your kindness, but there’s no need to trouble Master Isaac!” Billy responded.
“Mr. Billy, although Abyssal Depths City is not the headquarters of Sacred Hall Sect, it’s still quite complex. Having an extra person means having extra help…” Isaac Kaur continued.
“Thank you very much, but it’s really not necessary!” Harleen looked at him. “We’ve already troubled Heavenly Secrets Pavilion enough; I’m sure there are many matters that need your attention at the sect!”
“Alright then,” Isaac Kaur didn’t insist further.
“Mr. Billy, you’ve saved Heavenly Secrets Pavilion from disaster twice now. I have nothing to repay you with but this half of a recipe as a token of my gratitude. Please accept it!” At this moment, Old Alfie spoke while taking out half of a recipe from his person.
“Half of a recipe?” Billy and Harleen were both taken aback again, momentarily not understanding.
Regardless of what kind of recipe it was, why only half? What did that mean?
“If I’m not mistaken, Hades sent people to Great Blue City for David Roth’s incomplete Sky-Splitting Pill recipe, right?” Old Alfie smiled faintly.
“Hmm?” Upon hearing this, Billy understood. “Senior, do you mean that this recipe is the missing part of David Roth’s Sky-Splitting Pill recipe?”
“Exactly!” Old Alfie smiled again.
“This half of the recipe was obtained by my predecessor at Heavenly Secrets Pavilion by chance!”
“Although it’s only half, because Sky-Splitting Pill is invaluable in Great Blue Star Domain, if outsiders knew Heavenly Secrets Pavilion possessed this half-recipe, it would bring disaster upon our sect.”
“So, except for the pavilion master of Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, no one knows about its existence!”
“I see,” Billy nodded slightly.
“Senior, did you already know that Domain Lord’s Mansion had the other half of the recipe?” Harleen asked.
“Yes,” Old Alfie responded.
“For many years, David Roth has never given up searching for this other half; he just didn’t know it was with us at Heavenly Secrets Pavilion!”
“Otherwise, Heavenly Secrets Pavilion would have ceased to exist long ago!”
“I understand,” Harleen nodded.
“Senior, this recipe is too valuable; you should keep it…” Billy looked at him and spoke.
“This half-recipe is like waste paper at Heavenly Secrets Pavilion and also a ticking time bomb!” Old Alfie smiled faintly and interrupted Billy’s words.
“If Mr. Billy goes to Abyssal Depths City and is fortunate enough to obtain the other half of the recipe and successfully concoct Sky-Splitting Pills in the future, just send a few pills to Heavenly Secrets Pavilion!”
“Certainly!” Billy didn’t refuse anymore.
After continuing their conversation for a while longer, Billy and his companions took their leave.
Before they left, Old Alfie not only provided Billy with the location of Abyssal Depths City but also informed him of the whereabouts of Sacred Hall Sect headquarters.
