“What’s that?” At that moment, a sense of crisis swept over him, causing his pupils to contract sharply.
Without thinking, he flipped his wrist, and a pitch-black blade flew out of his hand.
It quickly spun, forming a shield of blades not far in front of him.
To his horror, even the pitch-black blade didn’t survive, instantly turning into black ice particles.
“Impossible!” Vance couldn’t help but shout.
He knew best what level of treasure his blade was, yet it disappeared in the blink of an eye. It was unbelievable!
“A third-rank Supreme Source Realm, and this is all you’ve got? That won’t save your life!” White Feather spoke.
“If you want to die, as you wish!” Vance’s eyes flashed with determination after taking a deep breath.
In the next moment, his aura surged again, several levels stronger than before.
A scorching momentum burst from his body, surrounded by fiery red flames, and his eyes turned crimson.
“Skyfire Strike!” Vance roared and struck out at White Feather with a palm, a fiery dragon appearing in mid-air.
“Burning your soul for just one move, too weak!” White Feather’s voice rang out. “You want to play with fire? I’ll join you!”
As her words fell, she advanced instead of retreating, spewing a wave of scorching air from her mouth.
The temperature around them soared by dozens of degrees instantly, igniting the air within a kilometer radius.
This move was clearly a level higher than the last time she used it.
In the face of her scorching wave, Vance’s attack seemed insignificant. The fiery dragon vanished instantly as if engulfed by a sea of flames.
Vance screamed in agony, “I can’t accept this!”
His voice cut off abruptly as silence returned to the void.
Vance’s body and soul were completely destroyed!
In his final moments, he vaguely realized that Billy had handed him the Nine Dragons Cauldron so easily to divert trouble.
Now that he was killed by White Feather, outsiders would surely think he had hidden away with the Nine Dragons Cauldron.
Moreover, with over ten corpses on the ground but none of his own, it would be assumed he killed them all to keep the cauldron for himself!
Realizing this, he regretted it!
Human greed is insatiable and can lead to trouble!
Meanwhile, Billy and his group had returned to the inn in the eastern part of the city.
“Boss, you handed over the Nine Dragons Cauldron again? Aren’t you worried Uncle White will come after you?” Judge asked after hearing Billy’s explanation.
“I discussed it with White Feather beforehand. She said she would explain it to the elder in white,” Billy replied with a faint smile.
He wasn’t lying; otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to hand over the Nine Dragons Cauldron so easily. Last time, he almost got beaten up by that man in white.
“Boss, the Vice Sovereign of Yama King’s Palace is a third-rank Supreme Source Realm. Can White Feather handle it?” Bob asked.
“No problem!” Billy shook his head.
“Since coming to the higher star domain, White Feather has recovered quickly. With her current strength, dealing with a third-rank Supreme Source Realm is no issue!”
“That’s good!” Bob nodded. “That should be enough to give Yama King’s Palace a hard time!”
Before Bob finished speaking, a white figure appeared in their sight-it was White Feather.
“White Feather, did you finish so quickly?” Bob walked over as White Feather landed in front of them.
“Vance killed everyone else. I only had to deal with him. It took a few minutes,” White Feather responded.
“As expected!” Ivy said. “He really wanted to keep the Nine Dragons Cauldron for himself!”
“Understandable, it’s human nature!” White Feather said as she handed the Nine Dragons Cauldron back to Billy.
“Billy, I spoke with my master. As long as I can retrieve the Nine Dragons Cauldron myself in the future, he won’t blame you.”
“Thank you, White Feather!” Billy smiled and absorbed the Nine Dragons Cauldron back into his body.
For the next two days, they stayed at the inn to cultivate.
On the third morning, Billy took everyone to the primeval forest outside Decadent City.
He spent about an hour there and successfully underwent tribulation!
He broke through to second-rank Returning Source Realm!
Just after they returned to the inn and were about to head to Heaven’s Tea House, two figures appeared at the courtyard gate.
The leading woman was Cheyanne Stark from Heaven’s Tea House, followed by an elder in gray robes who was a second-rank Supreme Source Realm.
“Mr. Billy, Lady Harleen, sorry for dropping by unannounced. Are we disturbing you?” Cheyanne Stark smiled at them.
“Cheyanne, you’re too polite. Please sit!” Harleen responded with a smile.
“Thank you!” Cheyanne Stark sat down and looked at Billy with a smile. “Mr. Billy, something happened in the Upper Realm recently. Interested in hearing about it?”
“Is it about Yama King’s Palace?” Billy smiled back.
“Exactly!” Cheyanne Stark smiled again. “Yama King’s Palace no longer exists!”
“No longer exists?” White Tiger was stunned. “Did someone wipe them out?”
“Yes!” Cheyanne Stark nodded. “Including their Sovereign, thousands of people were all killed!”
“No way? So ruthless?” Judge exclaimed. “Why?”
“… You don’t know why?” Cheyanne Stark’s lips twitched slightly.
“Did they find the Nine Dragons Cauldron?” Chase asked.
“No!” Cheyanne Stark shook her head.
“After leaving Decadent City, Vance didn’t return to Yama King’s Palace. It’s said that over ten people with him died, but his body wasn’t found!”
“Then there’s no doubt he took the Nine Dragons Cauldron and hid!” White Tiger continued.
“The outside world thinks so too!” Cheyanne Stark looked at Billy with a smile. “Mr. Billy, do you know where the Nine Dragons Cauldron is?”
“I don’t know!” Billy shook his head. “After giving it to Vance, I lost contact with it.”
Without waiting for a response, he continued, “Do you know who attacked Yama King’s Palace?”
“No idea!” Cheyanne Stark shook her head.
“Yama King’s Palace has decent overall strength, but in this Upper Realm, there are many forces capable of wiping them out. It’s hard to determine who did it!”
“Understood!” Billy nodded and changed the topic. “Cheyanne, did you come here specifically because there’s news about Heaven Alliance?”
“To be honest, we did gather some information!” Cheyanne Stark nodded.
“As expected of Heaven’s Tea House. Impressive!” Billy paused before continuing. “Name your price.”
“No need for a price; it’s free!” Cheyanne Stark replied with a smile.
“Free?” Stout perked up immediately. “Really free?”
“Really free!” Cheyanne Stark smiled again.
“You must be charmed by Boss’s personality?” Stout said again.
“Shut up!” Ivy glared at Stout before looking at Cheyanne Stark. “Cheyanne, can you give us a reason?”
“No special reason; just want to make friends with you all. Consider this information as a gift,” Cheyanne Stark responded.
“Thank you then!” Billy replied.
He wouldn’t easily believe she just wanted to make friends!
But for him, Heaven’s Tea House’s intentions didn’t matter; he just wanted to know Heaven Alliance’s current situation.
“No need to thank me!” Cheyanne Stark smiled and continued.
“We’ve learned that Heaven Alliance is indeed in trouble recently, and it’s not small trouble!”
“What kind of trouble?” Harleen asked.
“A force has made a move against Heaven Alliance!” Cheyanne Stark responded.
“What force?” Billy and his group were taken aback.
