“Casey, this Demonhide is for you!” Billy handed the Demonhide to Casey.
“Boss, I don’t need it. I have the Nether Flame Spear. You should keep it…” Casey hesitated before speaking.
“Take it!” Billy interrupted him. “The Nether Flame Spear alone isn’t enough. Against an opponent a whole level higher, you won’t even have a chance to strike!”
“But…” Casey tried to speak again.
“Mr. Kimmons, just accept it. The Nether Flame Spear and Demonhide are the best combination!” Harleen smiled.
“Alright, thank you, Boss!” Casey accepted without further protest.
“Opal, Harleen, these four Mixing Essence Pills are for you.” Billy took out the Mixing Essence Pills from his storage ring and handed them to Opal and the others.
“Billy, did you really make the Mixing Essence Pills?” Ivy examined one of the pills closely.
Then she couldn’t help but exclaim, “Billy, you’re amazing! This is a ninety-nine percent pure Mixing Essence Pill!”
Not long ago, they had learned from Sanaa that Billy had visited the Mysterious Pill Sect and obtained the formula for the Mixing Essence Pill. According to Sanaa’s estimation, with the formula and the Yin-yang Infinite Furnace, Billy could quickly produce high-purity Mixing Essence Pills. Although she was prepared, seeing the ninety-nine percent purity still surprised her greatly.
“It’s mainly thanks to the Infinite Furnace!” Billy smiled.
Then he addressed everyone, “Alright, everyone go into seclusion for half a month. After that, we’ll head to Cloudhaven Sect!”
“Okay!” everyone responded in unison.
For the next half month, everyone went into seclusion. With ample cultivation resources, their levels improved significantly.
Opal and Harleen advanced to the sixth-rank Prime Source Realm, Ivy and Amber reached the fifth-rank Prime Source Realm, while Casey and Stout remained at their current levels as they needed to undergo tribulation.
Azure Dragon and Azure Fang advanced to the eighth-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm, while others broke through to the sixth-rank Supreme Ancestry Realm. As for Billy himself, with the help of his bloodline power and Mixing Essence Pills, he advanced two minor levels to reach the third-rank Prime Source Realm.
Half a month later, everyone emerged from the Nine Dragons Cauldron Space. Casey and Stout both successfully underwent Thunder Tribulation and advanced to the second-rank Prime Source Realm.
“Let’s go to Skyreach City first!” After everyone stabilized their cultivation levels, Billy led them towards the teleportation channel.
The next day, they appeared on the outskirts of Skyreach City.
“Boss, should we visit the Harmon family first?” Judge asked Billy. “They dared to capture Opal and our sister-in-law; we must teach them a lesson…”
“Judge, don’t make trouble!” Opal interrupted him. “With our current strength, going to the Harmon family is just asking for trouble!”
“Really?” Judge was surprised. “Is the Harmon family that strong?”
“Judge, don’t forget that the Harmon family is ranked first among the top forces in the seventh-tier star domain. Do you really think they are just for show?” Amber responded.
“Just one Kash Harmon is already beyond our current capability to handle, not to mention that the Harmon family surely has other trump cards!”
“Alright!” Judge shrugged. “Let them enjoy their peace a bit longer then!”
“Be careful!” Opal continued. “The seventh-tier star domain is much more dangerous than you imagine, especially the Heaven Alliance. Never underestimate them!”
“Understood!” everyone nodded.
They had encountered members of the Heaven Alliance several times before, each stronger than the last. The organization was definitely not simple!
After entering the city, Billy had Azure Dragon inquire about the teleportation channel to Forest City and then led everyone there.
About fifteen minutes later, they landed in a mountainous area on the western outskirts of the city.
“Billy, I think we’re being watched!” Harleen said to Billy.
“Yes,” Billy nodded slightly.
He had felt a faint presence locking onto them since they entered Skyreach City. Though it was intermittent and hard to confirm at first, now there were multiple presences watching them.
“It must be people from the Harmon family!” Azure Dragon frowned slightly.
“Why are they just watching us and not making a move?” White Tiger asked.
“Who knows!” Azure Dragon shrugged and looked at Billy. “Boss, should we deal with them first?”
“Forget it! Since they’re not making a move, let’s not bother with them for now,” Billy decided after some thought. “Let’s head to Forest City first.”
“Alright!” everyone responded.
About ten hours later, they arrived on the outskirts of Forest City. Compared to Skyreach City and other major cities, Forest City was smaller with more modest buildings.
“Stout, go find out where Cloudhaven Sect is located!” About half an hour later, they reached an open area outside the main gate of Forest City. Billy instructed Stout.
“Got it!” Stout nodded and headed into the city.
“Billy Boy, it seems like people from the Harmon family have followed us here!” Opal scanned their surroundings before speaking.
“Yes,” Billy nodded again.
“What do they want? Why are they just following us without making a move?” White Tiger frowned.
“We’ll know if we catch a couple of them and ask!” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly.
They hadn’t made a move in Skyreach City because it was the Harmon family’s stronghold. A full-scale conflict there would put them at a disadvantage. But now in Forest City, there were no such concerns!
“I’ll go!” Opal replied.
In an instant, he disappeared from sight and reappeared thousands of meters away, reaching out towards a spot ahead on his right.
“Hmm?” A surprised voice echoed from above as a wave of energy surged forth.
Opal countered with a palm strike. After a loud crash, a figure was sent flying two or three thousand meters away, spitting blood into the air.
“Courting death!” An elderly man on the left growled and threw a punch at Opal. Judging by his aura, he was at first-rank Returning Source Realm.
“Get lost!” Harleen’s voice rang out as a sword light flashed past quickly.
After another loud crash, Harleen and the elder both retreated a thousand meters; they were evenly matched.
At that moment, eight or nine figures appeared in mid-air one after another. Their cultivation levels were not low; even the weakest among them was at mid-stage Prime Source Realm.
“You finally show up?” Casey sneered as he charged at an elder in early-stage Returning Source Realm. Ivy and Amber followed closely behind.
Meanwhile, a loud noise came from within the city as a mushroom cloud of energy rose into the sky.
“Stout!” Azure Dragon and Azure Fang shouted simultaneously as they rushed towards the city.
“Azure Dragon, Azure Fang, come back! Stay here; I’ll go!” Billy said as he dashed into the city gate in an instant.
