Heavenly Scent Pavilion was located in the heart of the City of the Unclaimed, the most bustling inn in the entire city, without exception.
The inn’s estate covered a vast area of eighty to ninety thousand square meters, with its main building being a nine-story tower.
Apart from the main building, the estate also had five or six other buildings of various designs scattered around.
Two quarters later, Billy and his group walked into the inn’s estate and finally took their seats in the hall of an ancient-looking building at the back of the estate.
“Mr. Billy, please wait a moment. The pavilion master will be here shortly!” Jayda said as she walked towards the staircase.
Soon, the sound of footsteps echoed, and a group of people emerged from the staircase.
Leading them was a woman in her thirties, dressed in a green robe. She had delicate features, a graceful figure, and a faint smile on her face.
Following closely behind her was an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a black robe. Despite his age, he looked vigorous and full of energy.
The white-haired elder was the strongest among them, with a cultivation level at half-step into the sixth-rank Breaking Emptiness Realm, similar to Dalton Yancy of the Yinsha Sect.
Behind them were Jayda and four other men and women, all around sixty to seventy years old, with considerable cultivation levels.
No wonder the Yinsha Sect couldn’t take down Heavenly Scent Pavilion; just these people alone could rival the high-end combat power of the Yinsha Sect.
“Heavenly Scent Pavilion’s Nyla Monroe greets Mr. Billy!” Nyla Monroe bowed as she spoke.
“Thank you for making the trip, Mr. Billy. We are deeply grateful!”
As she spoke, she glanced at Harleen and Ivy.
“You’re too kind!” Billy smiled faintly.
“I’ve long heard of Mr. Billy’s great name. It’s an honor to finally meet you today!” Nyla Monroe continued after taking her seat.
“You flatter me!” Billy smiled again. “May I ask why Miss Monroe has sought me out?”
“I heard that Mr. Billy possesses a map of the Netherworld Clan?” Nyla Monroe looked at Billy.
“Does your Heavenly Scent Pavilion want that map?” Stout interjected.
“Please don’t misunderstand!” Nyla Monroe continued to look at Billy. “Mr. Billy, may I ask you something?”
“What is it?” Billy asked.
“Could you tell me who killed Dalton Yancy?” Nyla Monroe inquired.
“I did,” Billy responded.
“You did?” Nyla Monroe pressed.
“Is there a problem?” Billy asked.
“Mr. Billy, if I’m not mistaken, you should be at the second-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm, correct?” The white-haired elder named Mitchell Monroe spoke.
“If you have something to say, just say it!” Billy interrupted him.
He clearly wasn’t going to easily divulge information about the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass.
“Do you know about the Netherworld Clan?” Nyla Monroe asked after some thought.
“I’ve heard Chieftain Liana mention it,” Billy replied.
“Chieftain Liana must have told you that the Netherworld Clan’s leader and four other powerful figures perished together, right?” Nyla Monroe sipped her tea.
“Isn’t that true?” Casey asked.
“That’s just a rumor!” Nyla Monroe responded.
“In reality, those four powerful figures did die completely, both their bodies and souls destroyed.”
“But the Netherworld Clan’s leader only lost his body. His soul was severely injured but not destroyed, so in a sense, he didn’t truly fall!”
“Is that true?” Bob couldn’t help but ask. “How do you know?”
“The map you have is genuine. The place marked on it is indeed where the Netherworld Clan’s treasures were hidden.” Nyla Monroe didn’t directly answer Bob’s question.
After a brief pause, she continued, “However, that place is also where the Netherworld Clan’s leader and those four powerful figures had their final battle.”
“And then?” Bob frowned slightly. “Are you saying that the Netherworld Clan’s leader resurrected there?”
“Exactly!” Nyla Monroe nodded.
“The treasure map was deliberately leaked to attract people to that place.”
“In the past year, many have gone there, but none have returned; all were taken over for their bloodlines.”
“The Netherworld Clan’s leader has already reconstructed his body. However, due to that battle a thousand years ago, his soul was nearly obliterated. Over the years, he has been hiding there to repair his soul.”
“As of now, his soul is almost fully restored, but his strength is still not at its peak. He needs a large amount of bloodline power to regain his full strength!”
“If no one has returned from there, how do you know this?” Felicia asked.
“A month ago, one of our elders from Heavenly Scent Pavilion went there at someone’s invitation and returned three days ago,” Mitchell Monroe responded.
“He is the only one in the past year who managed to escape with his life!”
“Are you lying to us?” Judge and Soul Chaser asked simultaneously.
“Bring Elder Cael here!” Mitchell Monroe instructed a white-robed man beside him.
“Alright!” The white-robed man nodded and left.
About five minutes later, he returned with another elder, supporting a middle-aged man as they walked out.
The middle-aged man was emaciated, almost skeletal, with no color in his face and an extremely weak aura as if he could die at any moment.
“Mr. Billy, this is our Elder Cael from Heavenly Scent Pavilion,” Nyla Monroe said.
“Before the incident, he was at first-rank Breaking Emptiness Realm, but now his cultivation is completely lost!”
“The only reason he’s still alive is because our Grand Elder spends at least an hour each day using Chi power to sustain him!”
Seeing this man’s condition, everyone was shocked and no longer doubted Nyla Monroe’s previous words.
“May I take a look at him?” Billy asked Nyla Monroe.
“Mr. Billy knows medicine?” Nyla Monroe was surprised.
“A little,” Billy replied.
“Then please go ahead,” Nyla Monroe said.
Billy then began to treat the middle-aged man.
The man’s luck had turned for the better by encountering Billy. His bloodline had miraculous effects on such cases of essence and bloodline depletion.
After dropping a few drops of blood into the man’s mouth and using Nine Needles of Secret Essences and Heart Sutra of the Azure Void techniques, Billy spent over an hour pulling him back from death’s door.
Although he couldn’t fully restore him to normalcy yet, the man’s aura and complexion showed significant improvement.
“Thank you for saving my life, Mr. Billy!” The middle-aged man bowed deeply to Billy.
“It was nothing,” Billy waved it off.
“Thank you, Mr. Billy!” Nyla Monroe said as well. “I didn’t expect Mr. Billy to have such extraordinary medical skills; truly impressive!”
“You flatter me,” Billy replied. “Miss Monroe, I assume you didn’t call me here just to tell me this?”
“The Netherworld Clan’s leader is extremely vicious and practices very evil arts,” Nyla Monroe said.
“If he regains his strength and reappears in this fifth-rank star domain, it will surely bring another bloody storm like a thousand years ago!”
“So you want to invite my boss to join you in taking him down?” Stout asked.
“But how do you know my boss can defeat him?”
