"How strong are they?" Billy continued to inquire.
"The top combatants in the Inferno Sect are their sect leader and four deputy sect leaders." White Tiger replied. "Their sect leader is a Tier-two War Grandmaster, two levels higher than Purgatory Demon Sovereign. Two deputy leaders are True Master Warlords, one is a Grand Elder Warlord, and another is a Tier-two Warlord."
"Besides these five, the next strongest are two Warlord Novices, and there are also around thirty disciples at the Battle God level."
"Damn, it seems like we can't underestimate the Place of Darkness!" Judge twitched his mouth.
"If the second-ranked force has such formidable strength, then the top-ranked force must be even stronger. And that Sanctum of Darkness, they're even more enigmatic!"
"Now do you realize how weak you are?" Stout grinned. "When you go back, you better focus on cultivating. Otherwise, boss might have to help you."
"Stout, if you don't speak, no one would think you're dumb!" Judge glared at Stout before turning to White Tiger. "White Tiger, has Sanctum of Darkness sent anyone?"
"On the surface, there's no sign of their people, but we can't rule out the possibility that they've infiltrated other forces in disguise." White Tiger responded. After a pause, he looked at Billy. "Boss, should we eliminate a few forces first?"
"No, they enjoy watching the show, let them watch!" Billy shook his head and then asked, "Has any members belonging to forces based in Glavale shown up here?"
"No, I don't think so, I informed them yesterday." White Tiger replied.
Billy nodded, then raised his hand and motioned. "Let's head into the mountains."
"Yes, Commander!" Everyone responded simultaneously and began walking toward the forest.
An hour later, they arrived at a mountain valley.
"Commander Gardner, according to the map, our destination should be within a one-kilometer radius of this valley." Rakshasa said as she approached Billy.
"Alright," Billy nodded.
"Some fleas probably couldn't wait." Casey scanned the surroundings and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Then let's clear out a few first." Billy nodded again.
Just then, footsteps sounded from all around, and four or five groups of people emerged from the forest, numbering around two to three thousand in total.
"Rakshasa, I must say, I admire your guts. Just a mere hundred people dare to come seeking treasures. Your courage is commendable!" a burly man called out to Rakshasa.
"Hand over the map, and maybe I'll consider letting you all live!"
"Commander Gardner, he's Rocky Kodiak, the Sect Master of the Seventh Hell Sect, ranked seventh." Rakshasa introduced, ignoring the man's words. She then went on to introduce the other three or four groups, all of which were forces ranked outside of the top ten.
Billy nodded.
"Listen up, all of you. Here's a piece of advice," Rakshasa loudly proclaimed to those present. "This is not something you can participate in. It's best to disappear immediately, otherwise, your forces will be expelled from the Place of Darkness starting tomorrow!"
