The white-haired elder spoke with a deep sense of emotion.
He had long heard that Billy was a once-in-a-millennium talented genius, capable of challenging opponents a whole realm higher than himself.
But those were just rumors, and he had been skeptical. Today, he witnessed Billy’s ability to challenge higher realms firsthand.
He could sense that Billy was at the half-step Breaking Emptiness Realm, yet he managed to hold his ground against a first-rank Holy Ancestry Realm elder for multiple rounds.
It was truly impressive!
Not only him, but the others also showed expressions of surprise. Clearly, they hadn’t expected Billy to be the legendary talented genius.
“You’re too kind!” Billy smiled again. “How should I address you?”
“Victor Underwood, from the Underwood family of Sunrise City,” the white-haired elder responded.
“Are you the lord of Sunrise City?” Stout asked.
“No,” Victor Underwood shook his head.
“Three days ago, the city lord led people from the City Lord’s Mansion to resist Asura City’s forces and unfortunately perished. I am temporarily acting as the city lord.”
“Asura City attacked so many cities simultaneously. Did the other three top-tier forces in the sixth star domain not react?” Casey asked.
“Sky Realm and Abyssal Realm have been quiet, but Enchant Realm has made some moves,” Victor Underwood replied.
“However, their influence is mainly in the west domain and hasn’t reached here yet.”
“What is Asura City’s purpose in attacking Sunrise City?” Judge asked.
“To subjugate us,” Victor Underwood replied. “Not just Sunrise City, but other cities as well.”
“Every time they conquer a city, they send people to the City Lord’s Mansion to control various forces and transport large amounts of resources to Asura City.”
“Where exactly is Asura City?” Azure Dragon asked.
“I don’t know,” Victor Underwood shook his head. “Not just Asura City, but the headquarters of the other three top-tier forces are also unknown.”
“Does Sunrise City have a teleportation channel to Pill City?” Billy asked.
“Yes,” Victor Underwood paused before asking, “Mr. Billy, are you heading to Pill City?”
“Indeed,” Billy nodded.
“Mr. Billy, from what I understand, the situation in Pill City is dire,” Victor Underwood explained.
“A month ago, Asura City sent a high-level force to Pill City and took control of the Alchemists’ Alliance leader and their young lady.”
“They demanded that the Alchemists’ Alliance produce one hundred high-grade Spirit Essence Pills within a month, or they would destroy the alliance.”
“Now there are only two or three days left until the deadline. If you go now…”
“The young lady of the Alchemists’ Alliance is our friend,” Billy interrupted with a smile. “Elder Victor, please guide us to Pill City as soon as possible.”
“Mr. Billy, I heard that the person Asura City sent to Pill City is one of their four Yama,” another elder said to Billy.
“And all four Yama are mid-stage Entering Ancestry Realm. If you go now…”
“Thank you for the warning,” Billy smiled again. “I am aware.”
Then he turned to Victor Underwood. “Elder Victor, please spread the word in the next couple of days that I have arrived in the sixth star domain.”
“Tell them I killed Ironclad Fury and that I’m heading to Pill City.”
“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Billy,” Victor Underwood hesitated before speaking. “But if you do that, Mr. Billy, you will surely…”
He understood Billy’s intention!
With so many Ironclad Fury dead in Sunrise City today, Asura City would not let it go. If they sent more people next time, Sunrise City would not be able to resist.
At that time, Asura City might directly massacre the city!
“It’s alright,” Billy interrupted him. “We are already at odds with Asura City.”
“Thank you, Mr. Billy!” Many people behind Victor Underwood bowed to Billy.
“No need for formalities!” Billy waved his hand.
“This time is urgent; I must leave now. I will return to Sunrise City when I have time to meet with you all again. Take care!”
“Take care, Mr. Billy!” everyone responded in unison.
Victor Underwood then personally led Billy and his group to the teleportation channel to Pill City.
In less than three hours, Billy and his group appeared on a mountain outside Pill City.
“Pill City is quite large!”
Fifteen minutes later, they landed outside the main gate of Pill City, and Judge couldn’t help but comment.
The city was indeed large!
They had thought Pill City was just a small sect city.
But upon arrival, they found it at least twice the size of Sunrise City, with buildings of a higher grade.
“Boss, should we go directly to the City Lord’s Mansion?” White Tiger asked Billy after entering the city.
“We don’t know the exact situation inside the city yet. Let’s find an inn first and gather some information,” Billy replied.
“Understood!” White Tiger nodded.
Fifteen minutes later, they rented a small and somewhat secluded inn.
After a short rest, they split into three groups to gather information in the city.
About half an hour later, Billy led Harleen, Ivy, and Stout to a large herbal market in the center of the city.
This was not only Pill City’s largest herbal market but also the largest herbal trading center in the entire sixth star domain.
On regular days, people from other cities would come here to buy herbs and pills.
However, due to Asura City’s influence over the past month, this bustling market had become deserted.
Billy and his group entered the trading hall and saw that there were very few customers and most shops were closed.
Seeing them enter, the few people inside looked over with surprised expressions.
“Boss, what are we here to buy?” Stout asked Billy.
“Just looking around,” Billy replied.
He then walked to one of the largest shops.
“What can I get for you?” A middle-aged shopkeeper approached them.
“Why are so few shops open here?” Billy asked.
“You aren’t from Pill City?” The shopkeeper sized them up as he spoke.
“To be honest, no. We just arrived from another city,” Billy said.
“No wonder!” The shopkeeper nodded.
“My advice is to leave Pill City quickly; it’s not safe here!”
“Because of Asura City?” Billy smiled faintly.
“You know about Asura City?” The shopkeeper was slightly surprised. “If you know, why did you come to Pill City?”
“What exactly is happening now?” Billy asked again. “Has Asura City taken control of the entire city?”
