Billy nodded with a faint smile.
“The Nether Clan is tough, be careful!” Jennifer continued.
“What do you mean?” White Tiger asked, puzzled. “Ma’ma, are you saying there are people stronger than Aarav Callahan in the Nether Clan?”
“The previous clan leader of the Nether Clan, Aarav Callahan’s father, is still alive. If I’m not mistaken, he should now be at the Returning Source Realm!” Caleb Clarke interjected.
“Additionally, the Nether Clan has a very strong team called the Ghost Dark Guards!”
“Ghost Dark Guards?” White Tiger and the others were stunned.
“Yes!” Caleb Clarke nodded. “The Ghost Dark Guards are very mysterious. Few people know about them, or rather, those who have seen them are already dead!”
“Do you know about them, sir?” Casey asked.
“Not much!” Caleb Clarke responded. “The Ghost Dark Guards consist of only eighteen members, but it’s said that all of them are at least mid-level Prime Source Realm, and the strongest among them is no weaker than Aarav Callahan!”
“That’s exaggerated!” White Tiger and the others were taken aback.
“The Nether Clan has been around for many years; their foundation is not to be underestimated!” Caleb Clarke replied. “Otherwise, that great person wouldn’t have sealed them back then!”
“Alright!” Everyone nodded.
“Sir, do you know where the Nether Clan’s main base is?” Stout asked, clearly still thinking about their treasury.
“I do!” Caleb Clarke nodded. “It’s not far from Wilderness City!”
“Really?” Stout’s eyes lit up. “Where exactly?”
“Why do you want to know so much? Are you planning to go to the Nether Clan?” Caleb Clarke turned to Billy after responding.
“With your current strength, going to the Nether Clan’s main base would be a death sentence. Wait a bit longer before making any moves!”
“However, since you killed Aarav Callahan, his father will not let this go easily. You need to improve your strength quickly!”
“Thank you for the reminder, sir!” Billy nodded.
For the next ten days or so, Billy and his group stayed at the Demonic Clan to cultivate. They had plenty of resources, and Billy spent a lot of time on ‘Skybinder’ while improving his cultivation.
After his battle with Neil Armstrong, he gained a deeper understanding of this technique. With Travis Clarke’s guidance, he managed to cultivate ‘Skybinder’ to the Great Perfection Realm within ten days.
In terms of cultivation, everyone, including Billy, advanced by one or two minor levels.
Billy broke through to the eighth-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm. With his bloodline power activated, he could now elevate his strength to the first-rank Prime Source Realm.
Casey and Stout reached the seventh-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm. Azure Dragon and Azure Fang both underwent Thunder Tribulation and successfully advanced to the second-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm.
Vermilion Bird and White Tiger also advanced by two minor levels, reaching the half-step Supreme Ancestry Realm, just a step away from breaking through.
Additionally, Billy spent half a day reforging Jennifer’s cane and three treasures from Netherworld Palace using the Yin-yang Infinite Furnace, enhancing all four items by one level.
“Boss, when are we going to The Wilderness Entrance to find Harleen and the others?” One morning, as they gathered for a chat, Casey asked Billy.
“In a few days, we’ll first go to Wilderness City and then head to The Wilderness Entrance!” Billy replied.
“To Wilderness City?” Casey was puzzled. “Is it to deal with Heavens Sect and the Nether Clan?”
“Yes!” Billy nodded. “The matter with the Nether Clan needs to be resolved; it’s a hidden threat. We should deal with it before heading to The Wilderness Entrance.”
“Understood!” Everyone nodded in agreement.
“Boss, is Sanaa staying at The Wilderness Entrance to prevent forces from the seventh-tier star domain from entering The Wilderness?” Night Orchid asked Billy.
“Probably!” Billy nodded.
Ever since Jennifer informed him of Sanaa’s whereabouts, he had suspected this.
Sanaa guarding The Wilderness Entrance was likely to prevent strong individuals from the seventh-tier star domain from entering The Wilderness and seizing his Nine Dragons Cauldron!
As for why Sanaa was doing this, he hadn’t figured it out yet. They didn’t have a deep relationship, so she had no obligation to help him with such troubles.
“I wonder how Harleen and Opal are doing!” Frostblade mused.
…
At The Wilderness Entrance, about tens of kilometers from the entrance leading from the seventh-tier star domain to The Wilderness, there was a small village.
In one of its courtyards’ pavilions sat six women: Sanaa and Harleen among them.
“Miss Sanaa, how is your injury?” Harleen asked Sanaa.
After spending time together, they learned that Sanaa had been injured for many years and it was a severe injury that was hard to heal.
“It’s much better now!” Sanaa replied. “Thanks to your man for getting me that Inferno’s Flower; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy. I owe him a favor!”
“Miss Sanaa, you’re too kind!” Harleen smiled. “With your status in Silent Ruins Sky Realm back then, if you had asked Inferno for that Inferno’s Flower, they would have given it to you!”
She had figured this out some time ago!
As she said, with Sanaa’s reputation, if she had asked Inferno for that Inferno’s Flower, they would not have refused.
Although the Inferno’s Flower was precious to Inferno, it was insignificant compared to Sanaa’s favor.
In Silent Ruins Sky Realm, Sanaa was undoubtedly the number one figure; Inferno would have known this.
So when Rose sent Billy to Inferno for that Inferno’s Flower in exchange for three questions from Sanaa, it was likely at Sanaa’s behest.
As for why Sanaa did this, she hadn’t fully figured it out yet.
“Take these pills and find time in the next few days to refine them.” Sanaa handed four pills to Harleen and her companions.
“Miss Sanaa, what are these?” Ivy asked.
“Low-grade Mixing Essence Pills!” Sanaa replied. “They will help improve your cultivation!”
“Thank you, Miss Sanaa!” The four women said in unison.
“The pills aren’t high-grade; use them for now!” Sanaa continued. “From what I know, Billy recently went to Mysterious Pill Sect and obtained the formula for Mixing Essence Pills.”
“With The Infinity Pill in his possession, he should be able to refine high-purity Mixing Essence Pills by now.”
“When you see him next time, ask him for some; they’ll be much better than these!”
“Then we’ll ask Billy Boy for more high-purity Mixing Essence Pills for you too.” Amber smiled.
“I don’t need low-grade Mixing Essence Pills, but he could use Infinite Furnace to refine some healing pills for me.” Sanaa replied.
“Miss Sanaa, with your skills, who could have hurt you?” Opal asked.
Harleen and the others were curious as well and turned their attention to Sanaa.
“There are always people stronger than you!” Sanaa responded thoughtfully. “In your eyes, my skills may seem impressive, but in front of true experts, I’m no more than an ant!”
“Believe it or not, my current skills are less than thirty percent of my peak. Back then, even at my peak, I couldn’t withstand a single move from that person!”
“If it weren’t for a great person saving me, I would have been dead long ago!”
