Chapter 1898: Making a Deal with Mr. Billy
“The news of our arrival in Radiant Sky City should spread quickly,” Azure Dragon said.
“The Domain Lord’s Mansion of Great Blue Star Domain and the other three domains likely won’t sit idly by, and the Sky Cloud Evil Sect probably won’t let this go either.”
“Most likely, the Domain Lord’s Mansion won’t act immediately,” Casey added after some thought. “They’ll probably let the Sky Cloud Evil Sect and the other three domains test our strength first before deciding on a course of action.”
“That makes sense,” Azure Dragon nodded slightly.
“Boss, is the City of the Dead far from here? Should we go check it out first?” Bob asked Billy.
“I don’t know the exact distance, but it’s probably not close,” Billy shook his head. “Besides, it’s not the right time to go to the City of the Dead. That place is likely very complicated, and our current cultivation levels are still too weak. We’ll talk about it later.”
“Understood,” Bob nodded.
“For now, don’t worry about too many things. If the Sky Cloud Evil Sect wants to send people to their deaths, we’ll oblige them,” Billy continued. “Tomorrow, I’ll set up a new Gathering Spirit Array here. Everyone should focus on cultivating and improving your levels first.”
“Understood,” everyone responded in unison.
After chatting for a while, Stout and White Tiger approached, their expressions indicating they had gained something significant.
“Stout, how did it go?” Amber asked with a smile.
“Tsk tsk, that West Domain King must have plundered a lot of wealth!” Stout wiped his mouth. “The warehouse is piled high with spirit stones and natural treasures. Our storage rings can’t hold it all!”
Night Orchid and the others couldn’t help but laugh at Stout’s expression.
“Boss, there are indeed many items in the warehouse. What should we do?” Azure Dragon asked Billy.
“Azure Fang, you, Bob, and Ian should go into the city and see if there are any high-level storage rings for sale,” Billy instructed after some thought. “If there are, buy several, the higher the level, the better.”
“Got it!” Azure Fang and the others nodded.
“Once you get the storage rings, put all the sovereign-grade spirit stones into them,” Billy continued. “Then take some high-level natural treasures. Leave the rest in the warehouse for daily expenses.”
To him, Radiant Sky City was just a temporary stop. Since the previous West Domain King left so many good things, he might as well take them.
“Tsk tsk, Boss, you’re even more of a robber than I am. You’re planning to empty it out!” Stout smacked his lips.
Before he could finish speaking, Ivy smacked him on the back of his head.
Night Orchid and the others laughed again.
Azure Fang and the others went out to buy storage rings while Billy and his group explored the City Lord’s Mansion.
Since they planned to stay temporarily, they needed to familiarize themselves with the environment.
About half an hour later, they returned to the pavilion.
The City Lord’s Mansion wasn’t too big or too small; half an hour was enough to walk around it.
There were still many people from the West Domain King’s faction in the mansion, but they were insignificant figures.
As for those with some status and strength under the West Domain King, they had all been killed in recent battles with the Sky Cloud Evil Sect, including core members of several armies under the City Lord’s Mansion.
Billy didn’t make things difficult for those who remained; he needed people to manage the estate. He gave them a choice: stay and work at the City Lord’s Mansion or leave.
Most of these people had no ambition or strength for power struggles. Who became City Lord didn’t matter much to them, so most chose to stay.
Thus, the City Lord’s Mansion was now under their control.
“Why aren’t Azure Fang and the others back yet?” Judge asked after they sat down.
“They’re probably looking at beauties. There are quite a few in Radiant Sky City…” Stout began.
“Stout, are you itching for a beating?” Frostblade glared at him.
“Frostblade sis, I’m serious. You should’ve gone with them to keep an eye on Azure Fang!” Stout turned to Night Orchid. “And Night Orchid, Ian Blade likes to act cool; he might catch the eye of some young lady!”
“You really are itching for a beating!” Night Orchid laughed and then looked at Amber. “Amber, help him out since he’s itching for some exercise!”
“What did I say? I didn’t say anything!” Stout quickly ran away.
Everyone laughed heartily.
“Boss!” At that moment, Azure Fang and his group returned.
To Billy’s surprise, they were accompanied by an elderly man and a young woman.
The old man wore a green robe and had an expressionless face with no noticeable aura. The young woman looked about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, dressed plainly but with a beautiful face and a faint smile.
Azure Fang and his group showed signs of a fight; though uninjured, their faces were grim as if they’d swallowed flies.
“Frostblade sis, Night Orchid, didn’t I tell you? They brought someone back…” Stout started but was cut off by Ivy’s glare.
“Bob, who are they?” Ivy asked before Bob could respond.
“This must be the famous Mr. Billy?” The young woman stepped forward and addressed Billy.
“What do you want?” Billy scanned them while releasing his spiritual power to probe their cultivation levels.
To his surprise, he couldn’t detect anything from either of them. If they weren’t deliberately hiding their aura, this was extraordinary. Given his current spiritual power level, he could sense anyone below Heaven Dao Realm.
The young woman looked as young as Harleen; could she already be at Heaven Dao Realm?
“Sorry to intrude,” she smiled and looked at Azure Fang and his group. “We had a little misunderstanding earlier. I apologize and hope you won’t hold it against me.”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Azure Fang and his group remained silent.
“State your purpose,” Billy said.
He could tell that Azure Fang and his group were unharmed; their opponents must have held back.
“I want to make a deal with Mr. Billy,” she turned to Billy.
“A deal?” Billy replied calmly. “You’re after the Sacred Object inside me?”
“Mr. Billy misunderstands; I’m not interested in that Sacred Object,” she smiled again. “If my information is correct, Mr. Billy recently visited Maga City?”
“Hmm?” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly. “You want the map of the City of the Dead and the method to break its array?”
