Billy didn’t confront them head-on this time. He activated his Nether Wings to evade their attacks. With his current teleportation speed, it was hard for the opponents to track him if he chose not to engage.
“Isn’t it about time?” After a while, Billy’s voice echoed, “It’s my turn!” An arc-shaped blade light slashed through, tearing the void apart. Heaven Killer! The blade light appeared suddenly, and before the four Ghost Dark Guards could even see Billy’s position, they were beheaded one by one, their heads flying into the air with blood spraying.
Raymond Callahan fared much better. As a Returning Source Realm expert, despite being injured earlier, he could still exert late-stage Prime Source Realm power in this Heavenly Xuan Space. However, just as he stabilized himself, a Thunder Blade rapidly enlarged in his pupils.
“Damn!” Raymond Callahan frowned. Before he could finish speaking, the blade light flashed past his neck, and blood spurted like a fountain.
In the next moment, a soul separated from his body and darted out. “Your blade can harm souls?” Raymond Callahan’s soul form exclaimed in shock.
“Scared?” Billy smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, I won’t use the blade again!”
“What do you mean?” Raymond Callahan’s soul form couldn’t help but ask.
“You’ll know soon enough!” Billy smiled again and waved his hand to disperse the Heavenly Xuan Space. Raymond Callahan’s soul form looked around and immediately understood. Without any hesitation, he quickly fled backward.
At this moment, the scene was chaotic. Thousands of wandering souls had been devoured by the Dark Puppet, leaving only a few hundred futilely resisting it.
“Think you can escape?” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly.
In an instant, the Dark Puppet flashed like a black lightning bolt, moving so fast that even Billy’s Nether Wings might not catch up.
“I won’t accept this!” Soon, Raymond Callahan’s soul form let out a heart-wrenching scream before being swallowed by the Dark Puppet.
With Raymond Callahan’s complete disappearance, the remaining wandering souls in the void also vanished.
“This time it should take some time to digest,” Billy smiled faintly as he retrieved the Dark Puppet into his storage ring. With Neil Armstrong from earlier and now Raymond Callahan, the Dark Puppet had devoured the soul forms of two Returning Source Realm experts and many wandering souls, significantly boosting its power.
Billy then turned and flew towards the Heavens Sect estate. Soon, he arrived above the estate and saw that the battle in the courtyard had ended. Brennen Morrow and many Heavens Sect disciples lay lifeless on the ground, while the remaining disciples knelt in a corner, faces filled with fear.
The strongest among them were only mid-stage Prime Source Realm cultivators, no match for Casey, let alone with Purple Spirit present!
“Billy, is everything settled over there?” Purple Spirit approached as Billy landed.
“Boss!” Casey and Azure Dragon approached simultaneously.
“Where are Stout and Judge?” Billy asked after nodding.
“They went to the warehouse!” Casey pointed deeper into the estate.
“Boss, did someone from the nether clan come?” Azure Dragon asked.
“Yes,” Billy briefly explained.
“The Dark Puppet devoured another Returning Source Realm soul? That will take some time to refine!” Purple Spirit said before merging back into Billy’s body.
A few minutes later, Stout and Judge returned with joyful expressions, clearly having gained much.
“Stout, how did it go?” Azure Dragon asked with a smile.
“Heh, we each can probably level up four or five times!” Stout drooled as he spoke.
A quarter of an hour later, they left the Heavens Sect estate and flew forward. Their next target was the nether clan’s headquarters!
Before coming here, Billy had learned the location of the nether clan’s headquarters from Caleb Clarke. Now that Raymond Callahan and the Ghost Dark Guards were gone, they naturally wanted to raid their base.
Two hours later, they left the nether clan’s headquarters with abundant loot. Thus, their business in The Wilderness was nearly concluded!
Back at Demonic Clan, everyone resumed their cultivation. According to Billy’s plan, they would head to The Wilderness Entrance to meet Harleen and others after leveling up twice more.
Besides improving their cultivation, Billy spent considerable time on ‘Heaven Killer’ and ‘Skybinder.’ Time flew by, and half a month passed quickly. With ample resources, everyone leveled up twice without surprise.
With the help of bloodline power and Mixing Essence Pill, Billy reached half-step Prime Source Realm, just a step away from true Prime Source Realm. Casey and Stout reached ninth-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm. Azure Dragon, Azure Fang, Bob, and Ian Blade broke through to fourth-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm. Vermilion Bird and White Tiger successfully underwent Thunder Tribulation and reached second-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm.
“Not bad!” Jennifer commented after checking everyone’s cultivation one morning.
“Ma’ma!” Billy greeted her.
“Ready to head to The Wilderness Entrance?” Jennifer asked Billy.
“Yes,” Billy nodded. “Ma’ma, any feedback from those sent to seventh-rank star domain?”
Jennifer had sent some clan members to find a suitable place for relocation if necessary.
“Not yet,” Jennifer shook her head. “No rush; The Wilderness is still habitable for decades.”
“Ma’ma, Heaven Alliance won’t let this go easily. After we leave…” Billy continued.
“Don’t worry,” Jennifer interrupted. “Heaven Alliance won’t engage in large-scale conflict unless necessary. They know they won’t gain much from it.”
“Moreover, you’re now their prime target. Both Nine Dragons Cauldron and Heaven Book are things they desire greatly. Compared to these, Demonic Clan is insignificant to them.”
“And with only a century left for The Wilderness, they won’t focus much on it.”
“Understood,” Billy nodded.
“In the seventh-rank star domain, stay low-key; it’s full of powerful beings,” Jennifer advised.
“Thank you…” Billy responded but was interrupted by his sound transmission stone. After listening to it, a cold fury erupted from him.
“Boss, what’s wrong?” Casey asked as Billy put away the stone.
“Harleen and others are in trouble!” Billy replied with a frown.
