On the way, Quincy Osborn didn’t play any tricks and led the way honestly. He was well aware of his situation. Forget about Billy, just Dark Puppet alone made him abandon any other thoughts.
After several hours, the two entered Shadowfen City. The architecture and customs inside Shadowfen City were almost identical to those of Abyssal Depths, though the city was slightly smaller in scale.
Soon, they arrived at the branch of Dark Court.
“Divine Sovereign?!” The guard at the manor gate recognized Quincy Osborn’s soul and couldn’t help but shout.
“Divine Sovereign, what happened?” Another guard spoke up at the same time. The faces of the other five or six men were equally shocked. They knew very well that the four Divine Sovereigns were all eighth-rank Mystic Kun Realm cultivators, top-tier experts even in the entire Abyssal Depths. But now, only a soul remained!
“Go call Paul Bennett out!” Quincy Osborn looked at one of the men and spoke.
“Okay… alright!” The man was stunned for a moment before turning away.
“Mr. Billy, should we wait here or go inside?” Quincy Osborn then looked at Billy and asked.
“Let’s go inside,” Billy replied.
The two then walked to a small square near the manor gate. Soon, footsteps sounded, and a group of people quickly walked out. Leading them was a man who appeared to be in his fifties, quite capable, a sixth-rank Mystic Kun Realm cultivator. The four or five people following him were also Mystic Kun Realm cultivators. The middle-aged man was Paul Bennett, the head of this Dark Court branch.
“Divine Sovereign!” The group bowed to Quincy Osborn from a distance. While speaking, Paul Bennett glanced at Billy, a strange look flashing in his eyes.
“Has the Hall Lord been here?” Quincy Osborn asked.
“Divine Sovereign, the Hall Lord and three other Divine Sovereigns left Shadowfen City for Dark Court a day ago,” Paul Bennett replied while bowing.
“Did they have a girl named Sanaa Schroeder with them?” Quincy Osborn continued to ask.
“This…” Paul Bennett hesitated.
“Speak freely,” Quincy Osborn responded.
“To be honest, Divine Sovereign, there was indeed a girl traveling with the Hall Lord, but I don’t know if her surname is Schroeder,” Paul Bennett said.
Before he finished speaking, Quincy Osborn raised his hand, and an image of Sanaa appeared in front of them.
“Is it her?”
“Yes!” Paul Bennett nodded.
“Mr. Billy…” Quincy Osborn then turned to look at Billy.
“Lead the way!” Billy said in a deep voice with a slight frown.
“Alright!” Quincy Osborn responded.
“Divine Sovereign…” Paul Bennett began to speak again.
“Enough, this is none of your business!” Quincy Osborn interrupted and then looked at Billy again: “Mr. Billy, please!”
The two then flew into the air.
“My lord, that young man should be Billy, right?” After they left, an old man in a gray robe looked at Paul Bennett and asked, “Why does Divine Sovereign seem so wary of him?”
“I don’t know!” Paul Bennett shook his head in response. He was puzzled by this too!
“My lord, could it be that Billy is responsible for Divine Sovereign’s physical demise?” Another man in a blue robe asked.
“Impossible!” The gray-robed old man replied.
“I’ve already checked Billy’s cultivation; he’s only seventh-rank Controlled Kun Realm, while Divine Sovereign is much higher!”
“Then what’s going on?” The blue-robed man asked with a frown.
“It’s likely that Divine Sovereign was injured by another strong opponent and Billy took advantage,” another man suggested.
“Possible!” The blue-robed man nodded thoughtfully and then looked at Paul Bennett.
“My lord, should we follow them? With so many of us, capturing a seventh-rank Controlled Kun Realm shouldn’t be difficult!”
“I agree!” The gray-robed old man nodded: “If we can rescue Divine Sovereign and seize the Nine Dragons Cauldron and Heaven Book, it would be a great achievement!”
“My lord, what do you think?” The blue-robed man asked again.
“Let’s go and see!” Paul Bennett responded after some thought.
They then flew into the air and followed.
Meanwhile, Billy and Quincy Osborn had already left the city.
“Do you think those Dark Court people will follow us?” Billy asked Quincy Osborn.
“Mr. Billy, rest assured, they wouldn’t dare!” Quincy Osborn replied.
“Want to bet?” Billy smiled faintly: “I bet they’ll follow us and try to kill me for the Nine Dragons Cauldron and Heaven Book!”
“No… they wouldn’t…” Quincy Osborn replied unconfidently.
“We’ll see!” Billy smiled again and asked: “How far is Dark Court’s main base from here?”
“Not far. At full speed, we should reach it in three or four days,” Quincy Osborn replied.
“No teleportation channels?” Billy asked further.
“No,” Quincy Osborn shook his head and added: “Mystic Kun Realm mid-to-late stage warriors can tear through space for short-distance travel, often more convenient than teleportation channels.”
“Can you still tear through space?” Billy asked again.
“No,” Quincy Osborn replied with a slight twitch of his mouth.
Billy’s earlier strike had not only destroyed his body but also severely injured his soul, making it impossible for him to tear through space now.
“Give me the general direction of Dark Court’s main base,” Billy said next.
“What do you mean?” Quincy Osborn was puzzled.
“You’ll see,” Billy replied.
“Alright,” Quincy Osborn said and gave Billy the general direction of Dark Court’s main base.
At that moment, several powerful auras approached from behind them, enveloping the space around them.
Billy turned to see Paul Bennett leading a group of Dark Court members toward them.
“You lost,” Billy said to Quincy Osborn with a faint smile.
“Divine Sovereign, we’re here to rescue you!” The blue-robed man shouted loudly.
He then turned to Billy and shouted: “Billy, release Divine Sovereign immediately or face our wrath!”
“All of you go back!” Quincy Osborn responded sternly.
“Divine Sovereign, don’t worry, we’ll definitely rescue you!” The blue-robed man shouted: “He’s just a seventh-rank Controlled Kun Realm, an ant!”
Quincy Osborn thought: If Billy is an ant, then what am I? Less than an ant?
After a brief pause, he spoke again: “Didn’t you understand what I said? All of you go back…”
“Divine Sovereign, step aside!” The blue-robed man shouted again before disappearing from sight.
“Attack!” Paul Bennett took a deep breath and waved his hand.
In an instant, seven or eight people attacked simultaneously, surrounding Billy.
Billy glanced at them and raised his hand to unleash Slaughter Sky.
Without much surprise, except for Paul Bennett, the bodies of the others fell instantly; four early-stage Mystic Kun Realm cultivators were completely annihilated.
“How is this possible?!” Paul Bennett and three souls exclaimed simultaneously in shock.
They finally realized how formidable he was!
This wasn’t an ant; it was a beast!
“Hurry up and leave!” Quincy Osborn said sternly.
The remaining few no longer had the courage to stay and quickly flew back…
