As Billy’s voice echoed, he swiftly moved towards Stout, sweeping his palm through the air in front of him.
A loud boom followed, causing the air to tremble. A powerful wave of energy surged forward, sending the crowd below flying. Three or four buildings collapsed in the chaos, dust filling the sky.
Soon after, a group of people appeared within sight.
Leading them was someone Billy recognized, Brian Olsen, a deacon of the Heaven Alliance.
“The Heaven Alliance’s people have noses like dogs!” White Tiger also recognized them.
“Greetings, Deacon Olsen!” The old man in the blue robe bowed respectfully upon seeing Brian Olsen.
“Well done!” Brian Olsen nodded.
“Did you have them provoke me on purpose? Just to delay us?” Judge asked Brian Olsen.
“Congratulations, you guessed right!” Brian Olsen then turned to Billy. “You’ve got guts, daring to come out of The Wilderness!”
“Did you have a hand in Whitecloud Manor capturing my people?” Billy asked.
Jennifer had told him that Sanaa had been restrained by Heaven Alliance members, which allowed Harleen and the others to be captured by Whitecloud Manor.
Although Billy didn’t think Brian Olsen had the strength to restrain Sanaa, he was sure Brian Olsen was involved.
“Neil Armstrong was killed by you?” Brian Olsen didn’t answer Billy’s question. “I’m curious, how did you manage to kill him?”
Brian Olsen still couldn’t figure it out. The only explanation was that someone from the Demonic Clan had helped Billy.
Otherwise, Billy couldn’t possibly have killed Neil Armstrong!
He knew Neil Armstrong’s strength well. Although slightly weaker than himself, Neil Armstrong was a genuine Returning Source Realm cultivator and shouldn’t have died at Billy’s hands!
“Do you want to find out?” Billy asked again.
“I really do. How about a spar?” Brian Olsen responded.
“Sure!” Billy nodded.
“Follow me!” Brian Olsen said as he flew into the air, with Billy following closely behind.
“Make your move!” Once they were in the sky, Brian Olsen looked at Billy. “Let’s settle this with one move.”
“Fine!” Billy shrugged.
“Show me what you’ve got!” Brian Olsen said as he unleashed a terrifying aura, enveloping the entire sky with immense pressure.
He then flipped his wrist and pulled out a ten-meter-long axe-shaped weapon from his storage ring. With a slight twist of his eyes, blue flames ignited around the weapon.
“Survive this move if you can!”
Brian Olsen shouted as he soared higher into the sky, gripping his axe with both hands and striking down at Billy. The sky tore open, and everything in its path burned blue as the air ignited.
“Weak!” Billy’s voice reached Brian Olsen’s ears.
Without any tricks, Billy raised his hand and formed the ‘Heaven Killer’ blade to meet the attack head-on.
With the power of his bloodline enhancing him, Billy had reached the fourth-rank Prime Source Realm. Brian Olsen was no match for him!
The blade easily cut through the axe’s attack and passed through Brian Olsen’s body effortlessly.
“How… how is this possible…” Brian Olsen looked down in shock at the line of blood on his body.
The next moment, his body split in two and fell from the sky, blood and flesh scattering.
At the same time, a soul essence shot into the sky but quickly fled backward without hesitation.
His face was filled with terror. Not only had Billy destroyed his physical body with one strike, but even his soul essence was severely damaged.
He knew that if he didn’t escape now, he wouldn’t survive today!
As long as he could preserve his soul essence, there was still a chance for survival!
But soon, despair set in!
Just as he had fled eight or nine kilometers away, a powerful force pulled him back despite his struggles.
It was Dark Puppet attacking him!
In a few blinks of an eye, Brian Olsen felt himself being sucked into a dark space.
And then, nothingness!
His soul was annihilated!
Billy then stored Dark Puppet back into his storage ring.
“Deacon!” The Heaven Alliance members on the ground shouted in unison upon witnessing the scene in the sky.
The old man in the blue robe hesitated for a moment before fleeing to the right.
“You haven’t given us the Spirit Fruit yet. Where are you going?” Stout punched out as he spoke.
The old man in the blue robe spat blood and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Meanwhile, Billy had landed in front of the remaining Heaven Alliance members.
“You… you killed Deacon! You’re dead! All of you are dead…” one man shouted at Billy.
“Can any of you tell me who collaborated with Whitecloud Manor from Heaven Alliance two months ago?” Billy interrupted him.
“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about…” The man stammered.
Before he could finish speaking, Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly, and one of the man’s arms flew off, blood spraying everywhere.
“Ah…” The man screamed in pain.
“Can you speak now?” Billy asked again.
“You’re dead! I guarantee it…” The man continued to shout defiantly.
Before he could finish, his other arm flew off.
“You…” The man fainted from shock and pain.
“Anyone else willing to talk?” Billy looked at the others.
“It… it was the Steward…” another man spoke up.
“Name?” Billy asked. “Where is he?”
According to Heaven Alliance’s hierarchy, a steward ranked above a deacon!
“The Steward’s full name is Liam Boyle!” The man replied. “We… we don’t know his whereabouts…”
“Get lost!” Billy waved them away.
A few minutes later, Billy and his group flew towards the teleportation channel.
Before leaving, Stout went into the old man in the blue robe’s shop and came out with all the Spirit Fruits gone!
Several hours later, they emerged from the teleportation channel.
Ahead of them, several hundred kilometers away, lay Jade City, a transit point from Old Town to Whitecloud City.
It was their first time using a seventh-rank star domain teleportation channel and they experienced its incredible speed firsthand!
No wonder it only took several hours to travel from Old Town to Jade City!
If they had taken a starship, it would have taken decades!
They didn’t stay long in Jade City and encountered no trouble. An hour later, they entered the teleportation channel to Whitecloud City.
After several more hours, they arrived at Whitecloud City.
As one of the three core cities of the seventh-rank star domain, Whitecloud City was unmatched in scale, planning, and architecture compared to ordinary cities.
The pedestrians on its streets were all well-dressed and distinguished, vastly different from those in Old Town. Billy and his group didn’t stand out too much within the city.
“Boss, Whitecloud Manor is on Whitecloud Peak outside the west gate!” White Tiger returned after asking for directions at a shop along the way.
“Alright!” Billy nodded and led everyone towards the west gate of the city.
Whitecloud City was vast; even at full speed, it took them some time to reach the west gate.
“Is that Whitecloud Peak?”
Looking ahead, they saw a towering peak several dozen kilometers away.
Its summit hidden among white clouds likely gave it its name.
