“Prime Minister, Elder Cobb reacted that way because Miss Wolfe was in danger, and he acted out of urgency.” At this moment, an elderly man with a goatee walked out from the VIP area again. As he walked, he looked at Urban Woolery and continued, “Moreover, Lord Hum just killed Elder Cloud from the Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect. So, I hope you could overlook Elder Cobb’s actions due to it being his first offense.”


    “He knowingly vited the rules. If we let him off just like this…” Urban Woolery’s tone turned cold.


    “Prime Minister, let it go!” At this point, Billy stood up, looking at him and spoke loudly.


    “Commander Gardner, is Azure Dragon okay?” Urban Woolery asked after a brief moment of surprise. He came out to uphold justice, and in a sense, to give Billy an exnation since Azure Dragon was under Billy’smand.


    “Thank you for your concern, he’s fine!” Billy responded. “Let thepetition continue!”


    For Billy, he had already sentenced the members of the Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect to death, and he nned to annihte their entire sect sooner orter. There was no need to waste time and energy on such a small matter now; everything could be dealt with after thepetition ended.


    “Alright.” Urban Woolery responded loudly before turning to the elder from the Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect.


    “This is a warning. If there is another incident, there will be no mercy!”


    After saying that, he didn’t pay any more attention to the elder, turning around and returning to the VIP area.


    The tournament continued.


    Half an hourter, the rankings for the War God-Emperor junior level were decided. There were four participants at the senior level, and Casey drew another independent cultivator in the first round.


    The opponent was quite powerful, wielding a big knife that stirred the air on the stage, creating a feeling of an impending storm. Unfortunately for him, he encountered Casey Kimmons. Casey, a half-step War God-Emperor in the pinnacle realm, was already half a level higher than his opponent. Besides, Casey could challenge opponents of a higher level.


    Of course, Casey didn’t end the fight in a single move but let the cultivator practice his knife skills for a while. After approximately a hundred exchanges, Casey, seeing the timing right, sent out a sharp de, cutting the opponent’s big knife in half.


    The man was pushed back about thirty meters, looking at the shallow bloodstain on his chest. He bowed to Casey.


    “Thank you for sparing me. I am willing to admit defeat!” After saying that, he left with an air of ease.


    After about fifteen minutes, Casey stepped onto the stage again. His opponent was a talented individual from the Ancient Martial Sects who had won in the first round.


    The opponent’s cultivation level was simr to Casey’s, both having stepped into the Peak Realm. After a dozen or so rounds, Casey severed one of the opponent’s arms with a sharp de. The man quickly raised a small white g.


    “Now, let’s invite the five participants at the War God-Emperor Pinnacle Realm to the stage for the draw!” Soon, the referee’s voice echoed from the first stage.


    “Boss, Ivy, it’s your turn!” Night Orchid and the others looked towards Billy.


    “Billy, shall we?” Ivy looked at Billy and asked with a smile.


    “Yeah.” Billy smiled and stood up, heading towards the first stage.


    “Commander Gardner! Commander Gardner! Commander Gardner!”


    Upon seeing Billy step onto the stage, cheers erupted from the audience. Their eyes were filled with enthusiasm and admiration. Billy nced around, smiled, and gestured to quiet the crowd.


    Two minutester, the five participants were all on the first stage. Besides Billy and Ivy, there was Louie Wolfe from the Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect, Robin Dixon from Forgiving Vige, and a young talent from a super sect, named Icelyn Crowe.


    Icelyn Crowe, around thirty-five years old, had a handsome face, wearing a green robe with his long hair tied on top. This was the person who had sent the young man in the blue robe to probe Billy a few days ago.


    Billy looked at him, and a hint of surprise shed in his eyes. After a rough investigation of the man’s martial aura, he was slightly surprised. Though he could only sense the cultivation level of War God-Emperor Peak Realm, he faintly felt that this person definitely had more strength than that.


    “Is this Miss Chandler from the Secret Essences Sect, one of the four beauties of martial arts?” At this moment, Louie Wolfe looked at Ivy and continued speaking.


    “I wonder if I can have a friendly match with you, Miss Chandler?”


    ording to the rules of thepetition, in the qualifying rounds, participants of the same realm could challenge each other. In principle, the challenged party could not refuse unless they had special reasons.


    As Louie spoke, a hint of sharpness shed in his eyes, and he instinctively nced at Billy. Due to what had happened at a restaurant of the Dunn family a few days ago, his anger had notpletely dissipated. But just now, Azure Dragon had crippled his younger sister’s cultivation and thus he had long held a deep grudge against Billy and his group.


    “This way, please.” Ivy smiled faintly, then turned towards the second stage. As she passed by Billy, she asked softly, “Billy, should I kill him?”


    “Uh…” Billy’s mouth twitched slightly. “You cannot kill him on the stage, it would vite the rules.”


    He wasn’t particrly worried about Ivy’s safety. That day at the Dunn family’s restaurant, he had roughly understood Louie Wolfe’s strength. Although he was at the same level as Ivy, theirbat strength was not on the same level.


    “Rest assured. Don’t forget, I’m also a doctor!” Ivy made a yful face, then left the stage.


    “Thank you for sparing me, Miss Chandler!” Louie Wolfe nced at Icelyn Crowe and then turned towards the second arena.


    “That guy from the Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect has set his sights on Ivy!” In the seating area, Soul Chaser furrowed his brows and spoke.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    “Don’t worry!” Stout smacked his lips. “He’s digging his own grave! With his mediocre skills, if he wants to mess with my sister, it’s a piece of cake for her to handle him!”


    Frostde smirked, “Stout, you have so much confidence in Ivy?”


    “Of course!” Stout nodded vigorously. “Among people of the same age, apart from boss, there might be others who could surpass my sister, but he is definitely not one of them!”


    “Alright!” Soul Chaser shrugged.


    “Commander Gardner, I’ve heard of your reputation for a long time. I wonder…” At this moment, on the stage, Icelyn Crowe looked at Billy, faintly smiled, and started speaking.


    “Excuse me, can I have a moment?” Robin Dixon interrupted Icelyn Crowe. “I’ve long heard of Commander Gardner’s name. Today is a rare opportunity, so I’d like to have a fair fight with him first. Is that okay?”


    “Sure!” Icelyn Crowe chuckled slightly. Then, he nodded towards Billy, turned around, and walked down from the stage.


    “Azure Dragon, your cousin has some guts, actually challenging boss!” In the audience seats, ck Tortoise looked at Azure Dragon and smiled.
