“How many times have I told you not to bring people home randomly? Are you ignoring my words?” The woman in the green dress glared at the little girl.
“Sis, don’t worry. These ladies and gentlemen don’t seem like bad people, so…” the little girl continued.
“How do you know they aren’t bad people?” The woman interrupted her sternly.
After speaking, she turned to Billy and his group and said calmly, “You should leave. I can’t help you.”
“Miss, we haven’t even explained why we’re here, and you already know you can’t help us?” Stout spoke up.
“You’ve been deceived by the Enchantress,” the woman continued calmly. “I don’t know the entrance to the high-level star domain, nor do I know anything about an array. She just lured you here.”
“You shouldn’t have come in, and now you can’t leave. Going to the high-level star domain is even more unrealistic. Good luck.”
“You know the Enchantress?” Stout was taken aback, and a look of surprise flashed across Billy’s group’s faces as well.
“You killed people from the Netherworld Palace and even severed one of Lord Zac’s arms. They won’t let this go,” the woman ignored Stout’s question.
As she spoke, she watered a flower and continued, “Those people just now were from the Netherworld Palace. They’ve already recognized you and will be here soon.”
“Do me a favor and leave quickly. I don’t want these flowers and plants to suffer.”
“How do you know we severed Lord Zac’s arm?” Judge was stunned again.
“Leave!” The woman waved her hand.
“Miss, we have some questions. Could we…” Harleen began.
“I can’t help you, and I don’t know the answers to your questions!” the woman interrupted again.
After a slight pause, she added, “But I can give you a warning: this place is far more dangerous than you think!”
“If you think three first-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm individuals can protect all of you, you’re being naive!”
“Forget other forces; even the Netherworld Palace alone is beyond your ability to contend with!”
“If I were you, I’d find a secluded place, hide in the Nine Dragons Cauldron Space, and train until you’re stronger before coming out!”
“You even know we can train in the Nine Dragons Cauldron Space?” White Tiger and Judge exclaimed in surprise.
“The Netherworld Palace people are probably already on their way. If you don’t leave now, it will be too late…” The woman’s words trailed off.
After a brief pause, she continued, “It’s already too late. Good luck!”
As she finished speaking, several terrifying auras swept through the void towards them, causing Judge and Soul Chaser to feel suffocated.
“Ladies and gentlemen, don’t be afraid. They won’t dare come in!” The little girl reassured them.
“Girl, can we stay here?” Stout asked.
“Of course!” The little girl nodded vigorously.
“Thanks!” Stout responded.
“No need to thank me!” The little girl replied seriously. “But taking refuge in our home comes with a price-one ten-thousand-year Spirit Fruit per quarter-hour, no exceptions!”
Cough… Stout choked.
One ten-thousand-year Spirit Fruit per quarter-hour? That’s worse than robbery!
“Girl, are you robbing us?” Stout asked after twitching his mouth a few times.
“No!” The little girl replied. “We don’t force anyone. You can stay if you want or leave anytime you like, really!”
As they talked, a group of ten people landed in the square outside the courtyard gate.
Leading them was an elderly man with red hair, sharp eyes, and an expressionless face.
“Elder Tommy, can you sense their cultivation levels?” White Tiger asked Tommy.
“I can’t sense the leader’s level. Among the others, there are two first-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm individuals, two ninth-rank Holy Ancestry Realm individuals, and the rest are early-stage Holy Ancestry Realm.”
“That’s quite impressive,” Azure Dragon frowned along with a few others.
“Ladies and gentlemen, do you recognize that old man leading them?” The little girl asked. “He’s one of the four Dark Lords of the Netherworld Palace, named Owen Cunningham!”
“Dark Lord?” Everyone was stunned.
“Yes!” The little girl nodded. “Besides their Sovereign, the Netherworld Palace has four Dark Lords and eight Underworld Lords.”
“The Underworld Lords are all first-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm. Among the Dark Lords, he’s the weakest but still a second-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm…”
“Miss Sanaa, we mean no offense!” Owen Cunningham called out loudly. “They killed our people from the Netherworld Palace. We’re here to seek justice!”
As he spoke, he led his group to the courtyard gate but did not enter. His eyes showed evident wariness towards the woman in green.
“Your grudges have nothing to do with me. Just don’t fight near my home,” the woman replied.
Then she looked at Billy and his group. “You should leave now.”
“Missy, you should be able to defeat them, right? Could you help us?” Stout asked her.
“Fat brother, give up on asking my sister for help!” The little girl said. “My sister never fights for anyone unless…”
“Unless what?” Stout asked quickly.
“Unless you offer enough reward!” The little girl continued.
“What kind of reward?” Judge asked.
“I don’t know!” The little girl shook her head. “You’ll have to figure that out yourself and see if you can offer something that interests my sister.”
“But let me remind you, my sister has many treasures herself. So if it’s just ordinary stuff, don’t bother showing it…”
“If you keep talking, you’ll be punished with no food for three days!” The woman said sternly.
“No!” The little girl cried out and pouted. “I won’t say anything more!”
“Miss Sanaa, what would it take for you to tell us the entrance to the high-level star domain?” Billy asked her.
His ultimate goal in entering Silent Ruins Sky Realm was to reach the high-level star domain, so he wouldn’t give up easily.
“You should be more concerned about how to survive…” The woman replied calmly.
But before she could finish speaking, Owen Cunningham interrupted from outside the courtyard gate: “Miss Sanaa, could you let them come out quickly? I need to report back!”
“When I’m talking, you’d better shut up!” The woman responded coldly.
“Miss Sanaa, our Dark Lord has shown you great respect. Don’t push it!” A half-step Supreme Ancestry Realm man from Owen’s group shouted.
“You should know that our Netherworld Palace doesn’t fear you; we just don’t want to make an enemy of you. If you…”
Before he could finish speaking or anyone could see how she moved, there was a muffled sound. The man was sent flying hundreds of meters away, spitting blood and losing half his combat power!
Seeing this, everyone gasped in shock.
Billy’s group was no exception; surprise was written all over their faces.
A half-step Supreme Ancestry Realm expert was as weak as an ant before her?!
This woman’s strength was truly terrifying!
