“Alright!” One of the men spoke as he took out a sound transmission talisman.
Billy glanced at the man but did not stop him. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a Dark Puppet shot out from his body.
The leading man’s soul had no time to react before it was sucked into the Dark Puppet’s body.
“Elder Tate!” The two men in the late stage of the Airborne Realm cried out in pain and quickly fled, not daring to stay any longer.
Billy did not stop them. He put the Dark Puppet into the Nine Dragons Cauldron Space and flew away.
However, before he could get far, a terrifying pressure enveloped the space around him.
Two men flew over. The leader appeared to be a man in his forties or fifties, followed by an old man in a black robe.
Both were very powerful. The middle-aged man was in the seventh-rank Mystic Kun Realm, and the old man was in the sixth-rank Mystic Kun Realm.
“You must be Billy?” The middle-aged man, Ezekiel Callahan, spoke while waving his hand. A portrait of Billy appeared in mid-air.
After a brief pause, he cleared the portrait and looked at Billy. “It is you!”
“People from the Dark Court?” Billy asked calmly.
“Not bad, you know about the Dark Court!” Ezekiel Callahan replied. “A sixth-rank Controlled Kun Realm can kill a fifth-rank Mystic Kun Realm. You are indeed extraordinary!”
“Is there anything else?” Billy responded. “If not, I’ll take my leave.”
“I’ll give you a chance to join the Dark Court. Interested?” Ezekiel Callahan asked.
“No!” Billy said and continued to fly away.
“You should know a woman named Sanaa Schroeder, right?” Ezekiel Callahan spoke again.
“What do you want to say?” Billy stopped and frowned slightly.
“She overestimated herself, thinking she could venture into the Abyssal Depths with some strength. Too naive…” Ezekiel Callahan responded.
“Where is she?” Billy interrupted him directly.
“I know she’s in the Abyssal Depths, but I don’t know exactly where.” Ezekiel Callahan paused before adding, “But one thing is certain, her situation is not good!”
“The people in the Abyssal Depths know about her relationship with you. Several factions are looking for her to exchange for the Nine Dragons Cauldron!”
“She is probably targeted by several factions…”
“If anything happens to her, I’ll make the Abyssal Depths disappear from the eighth-tier star domain!” Billy replied coldly.
“Hehe, I’ve heard you’re arrogant. It turns out to be true!” Ezekiel Callahan smiled faintly. “Do you know how strong the experts in the Abyssal Depths are?”
“It doesn’t matter!” Billy responded. “Believe me, if anything happens to Miss Sanaa, I’ll destroy the Abyssal Depths!”
After speaking, he ignored the other party and continued flying.
He planned to return to Endless City before heading to the Abyssal Depths, but now he had to change his plans after hearing what Ezekiel Callahan said.
“Rushing to the Abyssal Depths like this, even if you find her, do you think you can save her?” Ezekiel Callahan’s voice reached Billy’s ears.
“Believe me, the Abyssal Depths are far more dangerous than you think. Some forces there are even beyond our Dark Court’s reach.”
“Of course, if you join the Dark Court, I can take you to the Abyssal Depths and have the High Priest help locate her.”
“No need!” Billy interrupted him. “Goodbye!”
With that, he quickly moved forward.
He had learned the location of the Abyssal Depths from the young lady of the Abyssal Clan and did not need their help.
Moreover, their goal was obvious: the Nine Dragons Cauldron and Heaven Book.
If he got involved with them, he would have more trouble before finding Miss Sanaa.
“Think you can leave? You’re dreaming!” The black-robed old man said in a deep voice.
He disappeared quickly and reached out towards Billy. The space around Billy twisted immediately, slowing him down.
“Are you sure you want to make a move?” Billy turned to look at him.
“Mr. Callahan just said so much, didn’t you hear?” The black-robed old man responded.
Before he finished speaking, a blade light flashed from Billy’s hand, tearing a long crack in the void.
“Hmm?”
The black-robed old man sensed the power of this strike and quickly withdrew his hand, punching towards the blade light.
A loud noise erupted as waves of energy surged rapidly, collapsing the void. Both Billy and the old man were thrown back several kilometers.
Neither used their full strength; they were evenly matched.
“You do have some skill!”
The black-robed old man steadied himself and looked at Billy with a hint of shock on his face.
Ezekiel Callahan also showed a trace of surprise. Billy’s combat power was beyond his expectations.
“If you make another move, you’ll die!” Billy said before continuing on his way.
“Stay here!” The black-robed old man naturally wouldn’t let Billy leave so easily. He was about to chase after him when Ezekiel Callahan stopped him.
“Let him go!” Ezekiel Callahan said thoughtfully.
“But sir…” The black-robed old man looked at Ezekiel Callahan in confusion.
“He is heading to the Abyssal Depths anyway. No rush!” Ezekiel Callahan responded thoughtfully.
“This kid is tricky. We know too little about his skills. A sixth-rank Controlled Kun Realm killing a fifth-rank Mystic Kun Realm must have some reliance. Don’t underestimate him.”
“Understood!” The black-robed old man nodded.
“Notify our people and spread the word that Billy is heading to the Abyssal Depths!” Ezekiel Callahan continued after some thought.
“Then have someone keep an eye on him but don’t act for now. We’ll deal with it when we return!”
“Got it!” The black-robed old man took out a Mystic Echo Stone and sent a message before looking at Ezekiel Callahan again. “Sir, should we still go after his women?”
“Of course!” Ezekiel Callahan replied. “As long as we have his women, we don’t have to worry about what tricks he might pull!”
“Understood!” The black-robed old man nodded.
“The Grand Hall people suspect that a woman in white is protecting his women. They say she’s quite strong. Should we call for more people?”
“In this eighth-tier star domain, apart from those in the Abyssal Depths, the strongest people are probably only in the Grand Hall and Ancestral Grounds with some eighth-rank Mystic Kun Realm individuals!” Ezekiel Callahan responded.
“Apart from those two factions, others at most have seventh-rank Mystic Kun Realm!”
“Even if that woman in white is seventh-rank Mystic Kun Realm, I am confident she won’t last ten rounds against me!”
“Indeed!” The black-robed old man nodded. “You are at half step-eighth-rank Mystic Kun Realm; few can match you!”
“Let’s go to the Grand Hall headquarters in Prime City first, then head to Endless City!” Ezekiel Callahan said before flying towards Endless City with the old man.
Meanwhile, Billy sped towards the Abyssal Depths.
The Abyssal Depths were quite far from Prime City. According to Kallie Lowery’s map, he had to pass through three teleportation channels to reach the outskirts of the Abyssal Depths.
After about half a month, Billy emerged from the third teleportation channel.
Looking around, he saw an unfamiliar star domain that seemed similar to other places in the eighth-tier star domain on the surface.
However, Billy had an indescribable feeling that this star domain was very dangerous.
