“Thank you for showing mercy!” Alice Kaur responded after taking a deep breath.
She could clearly feel that Sanaa had no intention of killing her; otherwise, her physical body would have perished from that sword strike. Now, with only one arm severed, it was merely a minor injury. With her cultivation level, it wouldn’t take long to regenerate a new arm.
“Can I leave now?” Sanaa waved her hand dismissively.
“Go back and tell your lady that she didn’t have to go through the trouble of searching for Billy everywhere. If nothing unexpected happens, Billy will be heading to Heavenly City in two or three months at most. She can wait for him there.”
“Farewell!” Alice Kaur replied before flying off, followed closely by the three people on the ground.
“Miss Sanaa, are you alright?” Harleen asked as Sanaa landed.
“I’m fine,” Sanaa shook her head.
“Miss Sanaa, do you know about the Zenith Sect?” Judge inquired.
“Let’s head to Heaven’s Tea House first. I’ll tell you on the way,” Sanaa responded.
With that, she led Billy and the others to the largest Heaven’s Tea House in the city. Along the way, she shared what she knew about the Zenith Sect.
Billy and his group were puzzled, sensing that Sanaa had some understanding of the eighth-level star domain. They couldn’t help but be impressed.
After about two quarters of an hour, they arrived at the basement of the largest Heaven’s Tea House.
As Alfonso Ponce had mentioned, it was indeed arranged with a complex formation.
However, with Billy’s current strength, breaking the formation wasn’t too difficult. It took about an hour to dismantle it, and the people of Heaven’s Tea House gradually emerged.
Many of them had no energy fluctuations, clearly having their powers sealed. Once on the ground, Billy took some time to unseal everyone’s powers.
Then, he briefly introduced the events concerning The Hallowed Court to the people of Heaven’s Tea House.
After hearing his words, everyone was shocked and astonished. The mighty existence of The Hallowed Court was gone just like that? Unbelievable!
“Mr. Billy, please accept my bow!” The sect master of Heaven’s Tea House knelt before Billy.
“It was a small effort; there’s no need for formalities,” Billy said as he helped the sect master up with a wave of his hand.
“Thank you, Miss Sanaa. Thank you, Mr. Billy!” Cheyanne Stark stepped forward and bowed deeply to both of them.
As she spoke, she recalled how much Billy had grown in just a few months since they met. She was also grateful for making the right choice and never becoming enemies with Billy.
Especially when The Hallowed Court and Heaven Alliance wanted Heaven’s Tea House to join their battle, she had risked her life to advise neutrality.
She trusted her instincts; in the seventh-level star domain, the last one standing might not necessarily be The Hallowed Court or Heaven Alliance. Now it seemed she had bet correctly!
“Cheyanne, you’re too kind. Heaven’s Tea House has helped us a lot too,” Billy smiled.
“Mr. Billy, what are your plans next?” Cheyanne Stark asked.
“I haven’t decided yet. We’ll rest for a while first,” Billy replied.
“That’s good,” Cheyanne Stark nodded. “If you ever need anything from Heaven’s Tea House, just let me know.”
“Alright!” Billy responded with a smile.
After chatting a bit more, Billy and his group took their leave.
“Miss Sanaa, do you know where The Hallowed Court’s main base is?” Stout asked as they walked.
“Planning to loot treasures?” Sanaa retorted.
“Heh, The Hallowed Court must have collected a lot of good stuff over the years in the seventh-level star domain!” Stout grinned.
“Stout, didn’t you hear what Alfonso Ponce said earlier?” Felicia rolled her eyes at him.
“The eighteen members of The Hallowed Court Bloodsworn are all at least in the late Supreme Source Realm. Especially their leader, who might have already broken through to the first-rank Condensed Kun Realm.”
“If you really want treasures at the cost of your life, go ahead!”
“Uh… I forgot about that!” Stout smacked his lips and looked at Billy. “Boss, are we not going to The Hallowed Court?”
“You guys shouldn’t go!” Sanaa said to Billy.
“Focus on your cultivation. I’ll take some people to The Hallowed Court. In a month, we’ll head to Heavenly City together!”
“Miss Sanaa, there should still be considerable forces at The Hallowed Court’s main base. We should…” Billy began.
“No need!” Sanaa interrupted him. “I can handle it!”
“But…” Billy continued.
“Mr. Billy, don’t go. I’ll go with Miss Sanaa,” Jennifer interrupted him.
“Focus on your cultivation; the Zenith Sect won’t give you much time!”
“Alright,” Billy nodded and didn’t insist further.
Knowing Sanaa and Jennifer well, he understood that The Hallowed Court Bloodsworn were unlikely to be their match.
After bidding farewell to Sanaa and Jennifer’s group, Billy and his team flew off, agreeing to meet in Decadent City in a month.
For the next month, they stayed in a primeval forest near Decadent City, with everyone entering the Nine Dragons Cauldron for cultivation. They had ample resources-high-level pills, Spirit Fruits, beast cores-everything they needed except time.
Time flew by quickly, and within a month, everyone’s cultivation levels had significantly improved.
With the help of high-level Mixing Essence Pills, Billy, Harleen, and Opal each faced Thunder Tribulation and broke through to the second-rank Supreme Source Realm.
Ivy and Amber also successfully endured Thunder Tribulation and reached the first-rank Supreme Source Realm. Casey and Stout advanced to the ninth-rank Returning Source Realm.
Azure Dragon, Azure Fang, Ian Blade, and Bob all broke through to the seventh-rank Returning Source Realm with abundant resources.
Night Orchid, Frostblade, White Tiger, and others also made significant progress, reaching the fifth-rank Returning Source Realm. White Feather, Purple Spirit, and Dark Puppet also saw substantial improvements over the month.
Especially White Feather; as her soul gradually recovered, her combat power increased accordingly.
Although Billy didn’t know exactly how strong White Feather was now, he felt that without using the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass, he might not be her match.
Additionally, during this month, Billy took time to refine another batch of high-level Mixing Essence Pills.
“Boss, it’s about time. Should we head to Decadent City to wait for Miss Sanaa?” Azure Dragon asked after everyone consolidated their cultivation.
“Yes,” Billy nodded. “Let’s go to Decadent City!”
With that, they flew towards Decadent City. About half an hour later, they arrived in Decadent City.
“Billy, should we send Miss Sanaa a message to see if she’s arrived?” Harleen asked as they walked.
“Alright,” Billy replied and took out a Mystic Echo Stone from his storage ring to send a message.
However, after waiting for half a day, there was no response.
“Boss, could something have happened to Miss Sanaa?” Stout looked at Billy and asked.
