Half an hour later, the three returned to the small inn.
“Boss, did the people from Heaven Alliance come looking for you too? Are you all okay?” Casey asked as he and the others greeted them.
“We’re fine!” Billy smiled. “Pack up, everyone. We’re going to check out Cold Ridge!”
“Cold Ridge?” The group was puzzled. “What’s that place?”
“It’s a good place!” Stout smacked his lips and began explaining to everyone, including the previous conflict with the Beard family.
After about fifteen minutes, the group had packed up and flew out of the city.
“Billy, someone is coming!” White Feather said as they flew over a mountainous area outside the city.
“Someone’s coming?” Stout paused. “Why didn’t I sense it?”
“Stout, is it strange that you didn’t sense it?” Judge rolled his eyes. “Did you forget what White Feather’s cultivation level is now?”
“Hehe, I actually did forget!” Stout grinned.
In fact, not only Stout but also Billy and the others hadn’t sensed anything.
“There are six people in total, all at the Breaking God Realm. One is eighth-rank, two are sixth-rank, and the rest are in the early to mid stages of Breaking God Realm,” White Feather added.
“They must be from the Beard family!” Harleen responded after hearing White Feather’s words.
“Yes!” Billy nodded.
As they spoke, a powerful aura swept in from the horizon, and the pressure in the air instantly increased.
In a few blinks of an eye, six figures appeared within their sight.
Leading them was an elder who looked to be under sixty years old-Ronald Beard, the head of the Beard family!
“You killed members of my Beard family and thought you could just leave? How naive!” Ronald Beard said coldly to Billy.
“Old man, we don’t have time for your nonsense. If you want to fight, then fight. If not, get lost!” Stout replied before Billy could speak, looking eager to fight.
Before Stout finished speaking, Ronald Beard’s eyes narrowed slightly. In an instant, Stout was sent flying a thousand feet away, spitting blood into the air.
“Ouch, that hurt!” Stout shouted as he steadied himself. “You old bastard, you dare to sneak attack me? I’ll skin you alive…”
Before he could finish, a mark flew towards him.
“Damn it, old bastard! Do you think I’m easy to bully?” Stout cursed as he activated his Infinite Sky Armor and punched back.
The next moment, he was sent flying again.
However, this time he was unharmed thanks to his armor.
“Hmm?” Ronald Beard was surprised by Stout’s resilience. He frowned and prepared to strike again.
“If you attack again, you will die,” Billy said calmly.
“You?” Ronald Beard sneered at Billy.
Ignoring Billy’s warning, he formed seals with his hands and attacked Stout again.
“White Feather, stop watching and kill him!” Stout shouted. “And remember to keep his storage ring!”
The next moment, a scorching wave of heat erupted from White Feather’s palm, igniting the air around them and lighting up half the sky. A fiery serpent quickly shot towards Ronald Beard and his men.
“Hmm?!” Ronald Beard’s pupils shrank as he sensed a strong aura of death.
Without thinking, he shouted, “Attack together!”
The other five had already made their moves without needing his reminder. They too had sensed the power of this attack.
The five unleashed their strongest attacks, causing the void to churn violently.
But soon they despaired.
The scorching wave passed by them like a falling meteor. They felt as if they were in a furnace, their bodies unable to resist and turning to ashes instantly.
Not only that, but apart from Ronald Beard, the others’ souls were also annihilated.
Ronald Beard’s soul barely escaped but was severely injured, trembling in mid-air with a look of horror on his face.
He couldn’t believe there was such a powerful person in Billy’s team. It was terrifying!
Without wasting any time, he fled back the way he came.
“Since you’re here, don’t leave!” Billy said calmly.
As he spoke, Dark Puppet chased after Ronald Beard. Such a good supplement couldn’t be let go.
“White Feather, why did you burn their storage rings? What a waste! That’s money…” Stout said with a pained expression.
“Ah!” A scream echoed from not far away as Dark Puppet absorbed Ronald Beard’s soul.
“Someone else is coming!” White Feather said as they were about to continue their journey.
Just as she finished speaking, a tear appeared in the distant void, and a woman’s figure emerged.
She looked about Opal’s age, with a beautiful and ethereal appearance dressed in simple clothes.
Billy roughly gauged her cultivation but sensed no aura from her.
“White Feather, do you know her cultivation level?” Casey asked White Feather.
“Ninth-rank Breaking God Realm,” White Feather replied.
“No way?!” Judge and the others exclaimed simultaneously. “That powerful!”
“She’s a sub-leader of Heaven Alliance. This level of cultivation is relatively low for her,” Harleen commented.
Hearing that she was at ninth-rank Breaking God Realm, Harleen guessed her identity but didn’t expect her to look so young.
“A sub-leader of Heaven Alliance?” Casey and the others were surprised.
As they spoke, the woman approached them.
“So it really is you!” Diya Vaughn scanned the group before looking at Billy. “Do you have no regard for Heaven Alliance?”
“Are you here for revenge?” Billy replied calmly.
“Do you know how long it’s been since anyone dared to openly kill members of Heaven Alliance?” Diya Vaughn said coldly.
“That’s because I wasn’t here before,” Billy shrugged.
“I’ve heard you’re arrogant. Seems true!” Diya Vaughn sneered. “Do you know who Cade Walter is?”
“Does it matter?” Billy asked back.
“Apart from the leader of Heaven Alliance, there are four great gods below him and eight High Kings below them. Cade Walter’s uncle Diego Walter is one of those High Kings,” Diya Vaughn explained after a pause.
“You might not have a concept of High Kings. Let me explain: any High King can instantly kill an Extinguishing God Realm expert!”
Hearing this, Stout and Soul Chaser choked on their saliva.
Instantly kill an Extinguishing God Realm expert? What kind of concept is that?
Isn’t that exaggerated?
“It sounds strong,” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly.
As expected of Heaven Alliance from the ninth-tier star domain; their strength was terrifying!
“It’s not just strong in words; it’s strong in reality too!” Diya Vaughn added. “Diego Walter has no children and always treated Cade Walter as his own son. Now that you’ve killed Cade Walter, guess what Diego Walter will do to you…”
“Were you involved in Cade Walter and Caden Hill’s dealings with Yin-Yang Demonic Sect?” Billy interrupted her.
He didn’t care about Diego Walter; many people wanted to kill him anyway. One more didn’t matter.
“If I say yes, are you planning to kill me too?” Diya Vaughn retorted.
