A group of four or five people walked in, led by a woman who appeared to be around the same age as Harleen.
Her features were delicate, dressed in purple, with a graceful figure and an ethereal aura.
Following her was an elderly woman in a gray robe, and behind them were three people in plain clothes.
Billy observed their cultivation levels and his pupils slightly contracted.
The leading woman was at the fourth-rank Condensed Kun Realm!
The strongest was the elderly woman in the gray robe, at the late stage of the Condensed Kun Realm!
This was the strongest person Billy had encountered so far!
“Mr. Billy, we apologize for coming uninvited and disturbing you,” the leading woman said as they approached, bowing slightly towards Billy.
“Missy, who are you? Do you have business with the Boss?” Stout asked.
“Let me introduce myself first,” the woman smiled. “My name is Piper Avila, and I am from the Gathering of Immortals Pavilion.”
“People from the Gathering of Immortals Pavilion?” Stout was surprised. “How did you know our whereabouts?”
“You may not know this, but in the past month, you have become the most famous people in the eighth-tier star domain,” Piper Avila smiled. “So, finding out your whereabouts wasn’t too difficult.”
“Alright,” Stout continued. “Are you here to avenge those from your Gathering of Immortals Pavilion? Are you sure you want to start a fight with us?”
“You’re joking!” Piper Avila laughed again.
She then turned to Billy and bowed deeply. “Mr. Billy, on behalf of the Gathering of Immortals Pavilion, I formally apologize to you. Please forgive us!”
“Korbin Savage acted without permission and attacked you. We are truly sorry!”
As she spoke, she took out something resembling a sound transmission stone from her storage ring and slightly twisted her gaze.
The next moment, an image appeared before Billy and his companions.
In the image, Korbin Savage was kneeling in a hall, begging for mercy with a terrified expression.
Soon, a black-robed elder sitting nearby reached out towards Korbin Savage, causing his body to explode into a blood mist, even his soul was annihilated.
“This is our Gathering of Immortals Pavilion’s explanation to Mr. Billy. Please understand,” Piper Avila said as she put away the Image Storage Stone and looked at Billy.
“Did you come to see me just for this?” Billy responded calmly, not expecting the Gathering of Immortals Pavilion to deal with Korbin Savage so directly.
“Not exactly,” Piper Avila said as she took out something resembling a token from her storage ring and presented it to Billy and his companions.
“Please accept this token as a gesture of goodwill from our Gathering of Immortals Pavilion.”
“Missy, what is this?” Stout asked.
“This is our Gathering of Immortals Pavilion’s supreme token. The holder can request any one thing from us,” Piper Avila explained.
“Really?” Stout quickly took the token. “Can it really do anything?”
“Yes,” Piper Avila nodded with a smile. “Of course, it has to be within the capabilities of the Gathering of Immortals Pavilion; otherwise, it loses its meaning.”
“Can one token only do one thing?” Stout continued to ask.
“Yes,” Piper Avila nodded.
“Can we get more tokens?” Stout asked again.
“Mr. Billy, I know you came to the eighth-tier star domain to save someone,” Piper Avila looked at Billy. “I also know your purpose in coming to Endless City, but the Zenith Sect’s branch here is their strongest point besides their headquarters. Be careful!”
“Thanks for the reminder,” Billy responded calmly once more.
“Missy, how about this? I’ll give you this token now, and you help us rescue Miss Sanaa,” Stout handed over the token.
“You said you could do anything, right? Can’t your Gathering of Immortals Pavilion defeat the Zenith Sect?”
“If Mr. Billy needs it, the Gathering of Immortals Pavilion can help rescue her…” Piper Avila looked at Billy after some thought.
“No need,” Billy interrupted her.
For him, he wouldn’t place his hopes on others!
Moreover, the more people involved in this matter, the more dangerous it would be for Sanaa, which was not what he wanted!
“Is there anything else?” Billy asked after a slight pause.
“I have an unreasonable request. I wonder if Mr. Billy can fulfill it?” Piper Avila asked.
“Let’s hear it,” Billy responded.
“May I see the Heaven Book that Mr. Billy possesses?” Piper Avila continued.
“Sure,” Billy replied as he took out the Heaven Book from his storage ring.
He then dripped a drop of blood on it and handed it over. The contents of the Heaven Book gradually appeared.
“Thank you!” Piper Avila responded after a moment of surprise.
She hadn’t expected Billy to agree so readily. Wasn’t he afraid it would be taken?
“Missy, you’re not thinking of taking the Heaven Book by force, are you?” Stout asked worriedly.
After a slight pause, they all turned their attention to the Heaven Book.
“Thank you again, Mr. Billy!” After a while, Piper Avila handed back the Heaven Book and asked, “Mr. Billy, can you comprehend this Heaven Book?”
“No,” Billy replied bluntly.
“Miss Avila, can you understand it?” Harleen asked from the side.
“You must be Mr. Billy’s wife?” Piper Avila smiled. “I’m ashamed to say I can’t understand it either!”
“Then do you know if anyone in the eighth-tier star domain can comprehend the Heaven Book?” Harleen continued after a pause.
“I’m not entirely sure if anyone can comprehend it,” Piper Avila shook her head slightly. “However, I know someone who has spent their life studying the Heaven Book and might be able to provide some guidance.”
“Who is it?” Ivy asked from the side.
“The Celestial Sage,” Piper Avila replied.
“The Celestial Sage? Who exactly is that?” Ivy asked again.
“He is the former master of Celestial Pavilion and also possesses a Heaven Book,” Piper Avila explained. “If anyone in the eighth-tier star domain understands the Heaven Book, he would be one of them.”
“I see,” Ivy nodded. “Thank you!”
After chatting for a bit more, Piper Avila left with her people.
Outside the courtyard, one of the plain-clothed men looked at Piper Avila and spoke.
“Missy, why go through so much trouble? Why not just kill him and take the Nine Dragons Cauldron and Heaven Book?”
“He is only at fifth-rank Supreme Source Realm. Even if he can challenge one major realm higher as rumored, he would only be at fifth-rank Condensed Kun Realm!”
“As long as Hollie takes action, it would be easy to capture him!”
“Don’t underestimate him!” The elderly woman beside them shook her head slightly.
“My first impression of him is very dangerous. If we were to fight to the death, it’s uncertain who would win!”
“Really?” The plain-clothed man was surprised. “Hollie can’t even take him down? That’s exaggerated!”
“A person recognized by the Nine Dragons Cauldron cannot be overestimated!” Hollie replied.
“Notify everyone that starting today, anyone from Gathering of Immortals Pavilion who acts against him without orders will face consequences like Korbin Savage!” Piper Avila said thoughtfully.
“Understood!” The three plain-clothed individuals responded simultaneously with a slight pause.
Just after the people from Gathering of Immortals Pavilion left, an overwhelming aura enveloped the entire inn…
