Half an hour later, the group returned to the Northern Territory of Glavale.
On their way back, Billy had already informed Cole Wilson and Vermilion Bird that the Central District team and Army of Bloodshadow should return home for now. The Aquilandia situation was temporarily resolved. After spending a night in the Northern Territory, the four of them set off with Cole Wilson to return to the capital city.
"Boss, are you guys okay?"
The next morning, Billy and his group returned to SHADOW base. Night Orchid, Bob Stokes and Ian Blade hurriedly greeted them on arrival. They had heard about what happened in the Northern Territory but didn't know all of the details. So they were left hanging in suspense until now.
"We're fine!" Billy smiled slightly. "Let's talk inside."
After saying that, he led everyone into a conference room.
"Boss," Bob Stokes couldn't wait any longer as soon as they sat down. "We heard that twenty God-Emperor Realm experts from Northfortia and Aquilandia ambushed you? Is it true?"
"Of course it's true!" Stout smacked his lips before recounting everything that happened in detail.
"Aquilandia is really asking for trouble!" After hearing everything, Bob Stokes shouted loudly with anger written all over his face.
"Boss," Ian Blade looked at him admiringly. "Did you really break through to God-Emperor Realm Great Perfection?"
"Yes." Billy nodded calmly.
"You're so cool, Boss!" Bob Stokes was equally enthusiastic about it too.
"When are we going to Place of Darkness?" Night Orchid asked excitedly like everyone else did earlier.
"Not yet," Billy replied firmly this time around. "You guys need to focus on your cultivation during this period so you can improve your strength as quickly as possible."
"Got it!" Night Orchid nodded vigorously along with her two companions.
"Bob, make a call later on Uncle Adam!" After pausing briefly, Billy continued speaking again. "Ask him to mobilize resources immediately so we can find Ink Pavilion's lair ASAP! Before we go anywhere near Place of Darkness. We have got no time for Ink Pavilion's resurgence after Kun Lun Mountains battle last time where they suffered heavy losses."
Billy clearly wasn't going give them another chance at recovery; he needed them gone permanently.
"Yes, boss!" Bob Stokes responded affirmatively.
"Night Orchid, any new developments from the two clans?" Billy asked, turning to Night Orchid.
"The ancient martial arts experts have left the city in recent days. The two clans are quiet for now." Night Orchid replied.
"Hmm." Billy nodded slightly. "Keep our brothers watching closely. Whether it's the clans or their affiliated sects, they won't give up easily. I suspect someone will come to the city soon!"
"Understood!"
In the following days, Billy stayed at SHADOW and helped Casey and Ian Blade improve their skills. Casey and Ian Blade officially entered the perfection realm of War Emperor successfully, just like Bob Stokes did before them; they were only one step away from War God-Emperor realm.
Azure Dragon broke through two levels at once and reached War Emperor Grand Completion level while Stout also officially broke through into Emperor Realm.
Like Azure Dragon, Night Orchid also broke through two levels and was now a War Grandmaster Grand Completion expert.
During this time, Adam Greenleaf called Billy once to inform him that people were searching for Ink Pavilion's lair while mentioning some news about ancient martial arts world as well.
As Billy had guessed earlier on his own that there was turmoil in ancient martial arts world with many geezers appearing in various sects; it seemed that troubles would be coming soon to the martial arts world.
Adam didn't mention anything about Billy breaking into the God-Emperor Realm since he already knew about it a few days ago when he talked with him on phone. He casually mentioned that as turmoil increased in ancient martial arts world; more War God-Emperor experts would emerge, which might cause the iron Law of Ether Mountain Iron to lose its binding force soon.
Billy had already anticipated this.
On this morning, Billy returned to Ozin with Casey and Stout while Azure Dragon went back southward. At noon twelve o'clock sharp, both Billy and Stout arrived at the SHADOW base in Ozin while Casey went directly back eastward. Billy stayed at SHADOW for a while before calling Harleen on phone.
