The sixth-rank Mystic Kun Realm cultivator presented another bottle of soul water to Billy: “Two bottles of soul water, just as a gesture of friendship. Please accept them!”
“Thank you very much!” Billy took the bottle.
“It’s nothing!” The sixth-rank Mystic Kun Realm paused before continuing, “Is there anything else?”
“I’m looking for these two people. Have you seen them?” Billy displayed images of the two Ancestors from the Ancestral Grounds and Grand Hall in mid-air.
Upon seeing the images, several people’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Sorry, I’ve never seen them,” the sixth-rank Mystic Kun Realm replied calmly.
“No problem!” Billy cupped his hands and said, “Thanks for the soul water. Goodbye!”
With that, he turned and left decisively.
“Sir, why did you give him the soul water?” After Billy left, a man asked the leader.
“He seems to be from outside. Keep an eye on him!” The leader responded in a deep voice.
After speaking, he took out an Image Storage Stone and handed it to another man: “Take this Image Storage Stone to headquarters and ask the celestial master to investigate his background.”
“Understood!” The two men nodded and left.
“Sir, do you suspect something?” An elder in blue robes asked the leader.
“If I’m not mistaken, he should be the once-in-a-generation genius!” The leader responded thoughtfully.
“Are you referring to… Billy?” The elder was momentarily stunned before realization dawned on him.
“A second-rank Controlled Kun Realm cultivator who can easily kill a third-rank Mystic Kun Realm. Besides him, I can’t think of anyone else!” The leader nodded slightly.
“If it really is him, that’s perfect. We won’t need to go out and find him!” The elder responded.
“It’s said that he has three volumes of the Heaven Book, and the Nine Dragons Cauldron is also with him!”
“Indeed!” The leader nodded. “You personally keep an eye on him. If the celestial master confirms it’s him, don’t let him leave Deadland!”
“Understood!” The elder nodded and left.
Meanwhile, Billy was tens of kilometers away. Within his spiritual sense range, he could feel someone following him.
“If you want to tail me, let’s see if you have the ability!” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly.
With that, he activated his Nether Wings and flew forward at full speed.
His teleportation speed was already faster than most Controlled Kun Realm warriors. With the addition of Nether Wings, those three or four Controlled Kun Realm men and women couldn’t keep up with him.
In just a few minutes, Billy disappeared from their sight.
What surprised them even more was that not only could they not see him, but they couldn’t sense his presence with their spiritual sense either.
“Why can’t we sense him with our spiritual sense?” A man frowned.
“Who knows!” Another man replied.
“Forget it, let’s report back to the leader!” A woman suggested.
“Let’s go!” The other three nodded at the same time.
“Are you looking for me?” Just as the four were about to turn around, a voice reached their ears.
However, when they looked around, they saw no one. Their spiritual sense also detected nothing, causing their pupils to contract at the same time.
“Run!” A man shouted and quickly flew back along their path, with the other three following closely behind.
“Stay!” Billy’s voice rang out again.
With that, a blade light tore through the void towards the four of them.
There was no suspense; after the blade light passed, their bodies were all split in half and fell from mid-air. Their souls also dissipated into nothingness.
Soon after, Billy appeared and glanced towards the valley with narrowed eyes.
Then, he took out a bottle of soul water and dropped several drops into his mouth before using the Invisibility Technique to fly towards the valley.
Knowing there was soul water in that valley, he wouldn’t let it go easily!
Such good stuff should be collected for his companions.
A quarter of an hour later, Billy, still invisible, entered the valley. After wandering around for a bit, he locked onto a domed building.
In the entire valley, only this building had the strongest guard presence. Eight men and women guarded the entrance, two of whom were early-stage Mystic Kun Realm cultivators.
Inside the building were even more people. At least twenty or thirty people were estimated to be present, including four Mystic Kun Realm experts. The strongest had a fifth-rank Mystic Kun Realm aura.
“Did you feel something go inside?” A bald man at the entrance asked his long-haired companion.
“What do you mean?” The long-haired man asked.
“I felt like something walked past us,” the bald man replied.
“Are you hallucinating?” The long-haired man retorted irritably. “You should spend less time with women. If this continues, you’ll die from having too much sex!”
The bald man shrugged. “But I really felt like the air was disturbed…”
“You must be seeing ghosts!” The long-haired man glared at him again.
“Alright then,” the bald man shrugged again.
While they were talking, Billy had already entered the building’s hall. Seeing nothing unusual around him, he sensed that several strong auras were coming from underground.
He then turned towards the staircase.
Soon after, he arrived in a large underground space. Looking around, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
The space was vast, at least four or five thousand square meters. On the right side was a wall as smooth as a mirror, with an ethereal quality that made it hard to discern its material.
The wall had ten evenly distributed round holes, each with a tube dripping liquid into containers below.
Undoubtedly, these containers were collecting soul water condensed through an array formation.
Even though Billy was somewhat prepared mentally, he couldn’t help but be astonished by the amount of soul water!
Each container had two men standing nearby, totaling about twenty people. The lowest cultivation was third-rank Controlled Kun Realm, while the strongest was eighth-rank Controlled Kun Realm.
Additionally, in another corner of the space was a wooden structure with four men and women meditating at its entrance.
These four were the Mystic Kun Realm experts Billy had sensed earlier. Among them, an elder in white robes had the highest cultivation at fifth-rank Mystic Kun Realm.
Billy now had two choices before him.
The first option was to stealthily take some soul water from each container without being noticed. This method was also the safest.
The second option was riskier.
After a brief consideration, Billy took out another bottle of soul water and dropped two more drops into his mouth.
Then he made his choice!
In the next moment, those guarding the containers witnessed an extremely bizarre scene.
The containers filled with soul water seemed to be enchanted and quickly floated towards the basement entrance.
Then, right before their eyes, they disappeared. All ten containers vanished without a trace.
The containers moved so quickly that before they could fully react to what was happening, all ten containers were stored in Billy’s storage ring.
The twenty or so people rubbed their eyes at the same time and then looked at the now empty ground in front of them again.
Then they turned towards the entrance with expressions as if they’d seen a ghost in broad daylight.
“Someone stole the soul water!”
Immediately after, a man shouted loudly…
