“Who is it this time?” Harleen frowned slightly.
“No idea!” Billy shook his head.
“Billy, can you gauge their cultivation level?” Harleen asked.
“The leader is at the fourth-rank Supreme Source Realm, and among the five others, two are at the second-rank Supreme Source Realm, and the remaining three are at the half-step Supreme Source Realm.”
“The Upper Realm is truly filled with powerful beings; Supreme Source Realm experts are everywhere!” Harleen couldn’t help but remark.
“Harleen, when you reach the ninth-rank star domain, you’ll understand what it means to be surrounded by strong beings. The creatures there are truly formidable!” White Feather paused before continuing, “Billy, should we shake them off?”
With her speed, losing the pursuers wouldn’t be difficult.
“No need, let’s see what they want first!” Billy said after a brief consideration.
“Alright!” White Feather responded and slowed down, simultaneously retracting the protective shield.
Soon, the six people approached them from a distance.
“Are you Billy?” asked Aldo Nunez, a red-haired elder, looking at Billy.
“State your name?” Billy asked calmly as he stood in the air with Harleen.
“Aldo Nunez from Bloodstone Palace!” the elder replied.
“So, you’re from Bloodstone Palace. What do you want?” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Over the past few days in Decadent City, they had gathered quite a bit of information about the Upper Realm and had a preliminary understanding of its various factions.
Bloodstone Palace was considered a top-tier force in the Upper Realm and ranked relatively high.
“Is the Nine Dragons Cauldron with you?” Aldo Nunez continued to ask.
“Is your information outdated?” Harleen interjected.
“Everyone in the Upper Realm knows that the Vice Sovereign of Yama King’s Palace took the Nine Dragons Cauldron. Why are you still looking for us?”
“Hmph, you may fool others, but not us!” Aldo Nunez sneered coldly.
“The Nine Dragons Cauldron will recognize its master. If it doesn’t want to be taken, it will return to its chosen master on its own.”
“Vance, that insignificant figure, thought he could make the Nine Dragons Cauldron recognize him as its master just by taking it. He overestimated himself!”
“So, even if I tell you that the Nine Dragons Cauldron isn’t with me, you won’t believe it?” Billy said calmly.
“Let me inspect your body and unlock your storage ring for me to check. If it’s indeed not there, I’ll let you go!” Aldo Nunez responded.
“And if I refuse?” Billy asked.
“Then I’ll kill you first and search slowly!” Aldo Nunez said.
“Are you sure you want to fight?” Billy’s eyes narrowed as he looked at him.
“Kid, stop talking nonsense if you don’t want to die…” One of the half-step Supreme Source Realm men raised his hand and pointed at Billy.
Before he could finish his sentence, White Feather spat out a gust of air, sending the elder flying three or four thousand meters away before he crashed headfirst into the ground.
At the same time, a soul body shot up into the air with a look of shock on its face.
Before he could recover, Dark Puppet had already flashed over.
“Hmm?!” Seeing this scene, the others were stunned.
“You court death!” Aldo Nunez shouted angrily, “Attack! Kill them all!”
As he spoke, he formed a seal with his hand and hurled it towards Dark Puppet.
However, halfway through, the seal was frozen into an ice sculpture by a chilling breath from White Feather and shattered into ice particles that fell from mid-air.
“Hmm?!” Aldo Nunez’s pupils contracted coldly.
“Ah…” At the same time, the half-step Supreme Source Realm elder screamed as his soul was absorbed by Dark Puppet.
As White Feather made her move, Billy and Harleen had already engaged the others in battle.
Billy faced the two second-rank Supreme Source Realm elders while Harleen attacked the remaining two half-step Supreme Source Realm individuals.
Though their opponents were fairly strong, they were no match for Billy and Harleen in their current state.
The two second-rank Supreme Source Realm elders didn’t even have time to use their trump cards before Billy cut them down with a single slash each, their soul bodies also absorbed by Dark Puppet.
The two half-step Supreme Source Realm individuals attacking Harleen didn’t last more than a few rounds before being decapitated, their soul bodies also devoured by Dark Puppet.
Meanwhile, a loud bang was heard as Aldo Nunez was sent flying three or four thousand meters by a gust of air from White Feather.
One of his arms was frozen into an ice stick and shattered into countless ice particles that fell from mid-air.
“Dare to kill someone from Bloodstone Palace? You’ll pay for this. Next time…” Aldo Nunez’s face twisted as he shouted.
But before he could finish his sentence, Dark Puppet punched him away.
Already severely injured, he couldn’t withstand Dark Puppet’s full-force attack. His body exploded, and his soul quickly fled.
“Dark Puppet, chase him! That’s a valuable catch!” White Feather shouted.
Billy and Harleen’s lips twitched slightly at her words.
White Feather had spent so much time with Purple Spirit that even her tone of speech was starting to resemble hers.
“Kid, what is that thing? Make it stop! If you dare kill me…” Aldo Nunez shouted in horror.
Before he could finish speaking, Dark Puppet had already caught up. With a single gulp, Aldo Nunez’s soul was sucked into Dark Puppet’s mouth without any resistance.
Dark Puppet had consumed many valuable catches recently and was now strong enough to contend with early-stage Supreme Source Realm opponents. Aldo Nunez’s soul was no match for it.
Soon after, White Feather carried Billy and Harleen towards the Heaven Alliance branch they were heading to.
The destination was far from Decadent City. Even at White Feather’s speed, it took nearly ten hours to reach the nearby star domain.
“Billy, we should be close now!” White Feather said as she continued flying forward for about fifteen minutes before stopping.
Billy and Harleen dismounted from White Feather and looked ahead.
A small city floated several thousand meters away like a giant beast crouching in space. The entire city exuded an imposing aura.
“Billy, should we go directly?” Harleen asked Billy.
“Let’s go directly!” Billy nodded.
As he spoke, he summoned Opal, Amber, Ivy, Casey, and Stout from the Nine Dragons Cauldron.
“The second headquarters of Heaven Alliance must have some good stuff inside,” Stout said as he looked towards the city and licked his lips.
“Be careful; stay alert!” Billy warned before turning to White Feather. “White Feather, you should rest in the Nine Dragons Cauldron for now.”
White Feather’s spirit hadn’t fully recovered yet. Flying such a long distance had taken a toll on her.
“Alright. Be careful and let me know if you need my help!” White Feather said before returning to the Nine Dragons Cauldron.
Billy then led the group towards the city in mid-air.
“Who goes there?” An elder’s voice rang out as they approached within a thousand meters of the city.
As his voice fell, more than ten figures flew out from within the city towards them.
“Who are you?” The leading black-robed elder asked sternly as they approached closer. He scrutinized Billy carefully and found him vaguely familiar.
“You’ve been trying to catch our Boss all this time and don’t even recognize him?” Stout retorted.
“Hmm?” The black-robed elder frowned slightly at Stout’s words. “Are you Billy?”
