“Boss, there seems to be a fight ahead!” Casey pointed forward as the group flew through the air.
Before Casey’s words had even faded, a deafening explosion echoed, and a mushroom cloud of airwaves rose into the sky.
The center of the explosion collapsed into a void, revealing a black hole spanning several kilometers, creating a terrifying scene.
“With such a big commotion, it must be at least someone with Returning Source Realm cultivation!” Soul Chaser remarked.
“Obviously!” Azure Dragon replied.
“Except for Casey and Stout, everyone else go into the Nine Dragons Cauldron Space!” Billy said after a brief thought.
“Understood!” Azure Dragon and the others responded in unison.
Soon, after everyone entered the Nine Dragons Cauldron, Billy continued forward with Casey and Stout.
“Have you arrived?” A woman flew towards them; it was Sanaa!
The earlier commotion was clearly caused by her battle with an opponent!
“Miss Sanaa?”
Billy and his companions greeted her simultaneously after a brief pause.
As they spoke, they glanced at the opposite side and saw a white-robed man with a goatee standing in mid-air, blood faintly visible at the corner of his mouth.
Besides the old man, there were dozens of others standing not far behind him, both men and women, all dressed in white robes.
Many of them, like the white-robed man, had various degrees of injuries on their bodies.
“Miss Sanaa, where’s Rose? Did they capture her too?” Casey asked Sanaa.
“No!” Sanaa shook her head. “I sent her to a friend’s place!”
After a pause, she added, “Two months ago, people from Heaven Alliance captured Rose. While I was rescuing her, Whitecloud Manor took action against Harleen and the others.”
“I see!” Stout frowned slightly and asked, “Miss Sanaa, did they capture Harleen and the others because they want the Nine Dragons Cauldron?”
“And that Heaven Book scroll!” Sanaa replied.
“They have quite the ambition!” Stout clicked his tongue.
“Sorry, this was my mistake!” Sanaa looked at Billy. “Don’t worry, I’ll bring them back to you!”
“Miss Sanaa, you’re too kind!” Billy responded. “Their ultimate target is me!”
After speaking, he pointed towards the group and asked, “Who exactly are they?”
“The leader is Isai White, the second uncle of the current manor lord of Whitecloud Manor,” Sanaa replied.
“The middle-aged man holding a long sword behind him is Ricardo White, the current manor lord. The others are members of Whitecloud Manor’s Elder Pavilion.”
“They’ve brought out all of Whitecloud Manor’s top combat power?” Stout remarked.
“Whitecloud Manor is quite strong!” Sanaa continued.
“The strongest person in the manor is Ricardo White’s father, Bentley White, the previous manor lord. Additionally, Whitecloud Manor has two ancestors whose cultivation surpasses Isai White.”
“Besides that, Whitecloud Manor has a mysterious guard unit called White Phantoms, similar to the Ghost Dark Guards of the nether clan. They are few in number but far more powerful than the Ghost Dark Guards!”
“Alright!” Stout clicked his tongue again and asked, “Miss Sanaa, what is that old man’s cultivation level?”
“Third-rank Returning Source Realm!” Sanaa replied.
“So strong?!” Casey and Stout exclaimed involuntarily.
They knew that even the two deacons of Heaven Alliance were only first-rank Returning Source Realm! And here was an old man with third-rank Returning Source Realm?!
A first-rate force in a seventh-tier star domain was indeed extraordinary!
“Yes!” Sanaa nodded.
“Miss Sanaa, they don’t even show you respect?” Stout continued to ask.
“They said that the people we want are not in Whitecloud Manor!” Sanaa replied.
“Not there?” Casey was puzzled. “Then where are they?”
“The people were captured by The Cloudwalker, the young lord of Whitecloud Manor!” Sanaa responded again.
“They claim they don’t know about it either and that The Cloudwalker hasn’t returned to Whitecloud Manor recently!”
“Is that true?” Casey and Stout frowned slightly.
Sanaa shook her head. “I wanted to enter the manor to search for them, but they wouldn’t let me.”
“Can we kill him?” Billy pointed at Isai White and asked.
Casey and Stout’s mouths twitched slightly.
Boss, such a strong opponent-can we just kill him like that?
“If possible, it’s best not to kill him!” Sanaa replied.
“Why?” Billy asked.
“Firstly, with your current strength, even if you can kill him, you’re definitely not a match for Bentley White!” Sanaa continued.
“Secondly, Whitecloud Manor has considerable influence in the seventh-tier star domain. If you break ties with them, your future path will be more difficult!”
“Thirdly…”
“Then let’s kill him!” Billy interrupted her before she could finish.
As they spoke, Isai White led Ricardo White and their group closer to them.
“Miss Sanaa, this must be Mr. Billy?” Isai White spoke while scanning Billy with his eyes.
“You don’t plan to release them?” Billy asked calmly.
“Mr. Billy, I already explained to Miss Sanaa that your loved ones are not in Whitecloud Manor…” Isai White began.
“Then step aside and let me search myself!” Billy interrupted him.
“Mr. Billy, that’s not appropriate!” Isai White responded.
“Isai White, for your ancestors’ sake, I’ll advise you one more time!” Sanaa looked at him. “Either send a message to your nephew to return immediately or let Billy search for himself. Otherwise, you’ll regret it!”
“I’ve already sent a message to Marcos, but he hasn’t responded. It might be too far for him to receive it,” Ricardo White replied from the side.
“Then let Billy search. If he doesn’t find his loved ones, he’ll believe you!” Sanaa continued.
“Miss Sanaa, I’ve said it’s not appropriate! If word gets out that anyone can enter Whitecloud Manor to search…”
Before he could finish speaking, Billy acted. He raised his hand and slashed with his blade.
“Insolent!” A fifth-rank Prime Source Realm elder from the other side shouted angrily and formed a seal to counter the blade light.
With a loud bang, the elder was sent flying a kilometer away and spat out blood.
“Hmm?” The people from Whitecloud Manor were stunned.
They had already investigated Billy’s cultivation-first-rank Prime Source Realm. Though decent among his peers, he was too weak for them.
But now, with just one casual slash, Billy had severely injured a fifth-rank Prime Source Realm opponent?
“Kid, this is Whitecloud Manor! Not a place for your insolence!” An eighth-rank Prime Source Realm elder shouted angrily next.
As he spoke, he unleashed his full strength and punched towards Billy.
In an instant, blade light flashed. A moment later, an arm flew into the air with blood spraying everywhere.
This time, Billy activated his bloodline power. With one slash, he easily severed an arm from the elder.
“Ah…” The elder screamed as he retreated a kilometer away with endless fear on his face.
