“Ma’ma, did you know Boss was deceiving them?” Casey asked.
“Of course,” the old woman replied.
“How did you know Boss was lying?” Stout asked again. “Can you detect the Nine Dragons Cauldron on him?”
“No,” the old woman shook her head and pointed at Billy. “The Spiritual Line Origin in his body is quite powerful, hiding the Nine Dragons Cauldron.”
“She must have already undergone three stages of evolution. If she advances one more stage, she’ll be even more formidable!”
“Ma’ma, do you know how Purple Spirit can advance another stage?” Azure Dragon asked.
“Such a simple question,” the old woman responded. “She is a Spiritual Line Origin; she needs spiritual energy! Let her absorb the spiritual energy from this space, and it should work!”
This method could work, but without spiritual energy, all living beings here would perish!
“You don’t have to absorb it all, just half should be enough!” the old woman added.
“Is there any other way besides this?” Azure Dragon asked.
“Yes,” the old woman nodded. “Let her devour the Spiritual Line Origin of this space!”
“Is there a Spiritual Line Origin here?” Everyone’s eyes lit up.
This could be a solution! After all, if Purple Spirit devours a place’s Spiritual Line Origin, it won’t weaken the concentration of spiritual energy there. On the contrary, if Purple Spirit’s level keeps rising, any place she devours the Spiritual Line Origin from will benefit greatly!
“Of course,” the old woman responded. “She should know where it is!”
“Purple Spirit, do you know where the Spiritual Line Origin is in this space?” Billy asked through his consciousness.
“I don’t know the exact location, but I have a general idea. It should be near Skylight City!” Purple Spirit replied.
“When we get to Skylight City, we’ll look for it,” Billy said.
“Billy, do you really agree to let me devour the Spiritual Line Origin here? That’s great!” Purple Spirit was overjoyed.
“Ma’ma, since you can’t detect the Nine Dragons Cauldron, how can you be sure the Boss is lying?” Judge asked.
“Because I know you were still in the blood domain awakening your bloodline a day ago! How could someone have stolen the Nine Dragons Cauldron from you?” the old woman added.
“You even know we went to the blood domain?” Stout asked again.
“You, young man, your Dark Puppet has absorbed those Evil Spirits. It should be enough to raise several levels, right?” The old woman then looked at Billy and asked.
She knows this too? This old woman is not simple!
“Let’s go. Aren’t you in a hurry to get to Skylight City?” The old woman said before flying into the air, with Billy and the others following closely behind.
When they were still several thousand kilometers away from Skylight City, a terrifying pressure swept over them. Soon after, the group they had encountered earlier appeared not far away.
“You dare deceive me!” The leading elder looked at Billy and said in a deep voice.
“What do you mean?” Billy looked at him. “Did you find that person? Did he deny it?”
“Unlock your storage ring’s permissions and let me inspect it!” The leading elder didn’t answer Billy’s question.
“You suspect the Nine Dragons Cauldron is in my storage ring?” Billy asked.
“Enough talk, hurry up!” The elder responded angrily.
“What if I refuse?” Billy asked with a faint smile.
“Master, didn’t I tell you? The Nine Dragons Cauldron must be in his storage ring!” At this moment, a man’s voice rang out.
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his fifties arrived with two elders.
“Ma’ma, isn’t he the Lord of Skylight City?” Judge asked the old woman.
Everyone looked at him; indeed, he resembled the portrait the old woman had shown earlier.
“He is the Deputy City Lord and also the City Lord’s brother,” the old woman replied.
“Alright,” Judge shrugged.
“You are so naive!” The man named Ronald Thomas looked at Billy and said. “You think you can frame Skylight City? Do you take everyone for fools?”
“Did he tell you that Skylight City didn’t take the Nine Dragons Cauldron?” Billy ignored him and turned to look at The Wilderness elder. “He said he didn’t take it, and you believed him?”
“Kid, stop trying to shift the blame!” Ronald Thomas spoke again. “If you have nothing to hide, let the second-in-command inspect your storage ring!”
“What if there’s nothing in my storage ring?” Billy asked.
“Impossible!” Ronald Thomas responded coldly. “If it’s not in your body, it must be in your storage ring…”
“My patience is limited; you’d better decide quickly!” The leading elder looked at Billy again.
“If the Nine Dragons Cauldron isn’t in my Boss’s storage ring, what will you do? Will you commit suicide to apologize?” Stout said.
“I’ll give you three seconds!” The leading elder ignored Stout.
“I told you, the Nine Dragons Cauldron was taken by people from Skylight City. Why don’t you believe me?” Billy shrugged and flipped his wrist, making his storage ring float in front of him.
“You want to inspect my storage ring? Go ahead, see if there’s a Nine Dragons Cauldron inside!”
“Smart move!” A man from the opposing group looked at Billy and replied.
As he spoke, everyone from both sides, including Ronald Thomas’s group, scanned Billy’s storage ring.
“Really nothing?” After a while, the leading elder frowned and turned to Ronald Thomas. “How do you explain this?”
“Master, I swear the Nine Dragons Cauldron is not in Skylight City!” Ronald Thomas was also stunned for a moment before pointing at Casey and the others. “It must be in their storage rings. Have them show their storage rings…”
“This is too much bullying!” Stout clicked his tongue. “You stole our Nine Dragons Cauldron and now want to frame us. This is intolerable!”
He then turned to Billy. “Boss, should we kill them?”
“Yes,” Billy nodded. “Let’s kill them.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped his wrist and slashed out with an illusionary blade.
“You court death!” An elder behind Ronald Thomas frowned and quickly rushed out, forming a wave of energy with his raised hand.
To his shock, his attack had no chance against the blade light and instantly dissipated. The blade light then flashed past him.
The elder struggled to open his mouth before his body split in two and fell from mid-air. He was at seventh-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm and naturally couldn’t withstand Billy’s strike.
“Hmm?!” Everyone from both The Wilderness and Skylight City was stunned for a moment. Even the old woman’s eyes flashed with surprise; she hadn’t expected Billy to have such combat power either.
“Bastard! How dare you kill someone from Skylight City? Prepare to die!” Ronald Thomas roared angrily and pressed his hand toward Billy’s group.
Immediately, a heavy pressure like a mountain descended on Billy’s group, covering an area of several kilometers. Although White Tiger and Night Orchid were already at half-step Holy Ancestry Realm cultivation level, they couldn’t help but shiver under this pressure.
Just as Billy was about to make a move, the old woman squinted her eyes slightly and casually raised her cane to release a wave of energy.
A deafening explosion shook the air as a massive black hole appeared in the void, with turbulent waves surging around it. At the same time, Ronald Thomas spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward for about a kilometer before barely stabilizing himself in mid-air. His face was pale as wax, and his aura was weak. With one move, he was completely defeated!
