When the group arrived, three groups of people had already gathered on the snowy in not far away. Two of them were from Aqundia and Northfortia, while the other group was most likely from the Guardians. This ice cave fell under the jurisdiction of the Guardians, so they stationed people here. In fact, several decades ago, all the resources in the Pr Domain were under the Guardians’ control. However,ter on, Northfortia and other countries broke the rules and forcibly seized territory in the Pr Domain. As a result, many areas had been designated as private property by different countries, and the Guardians’ jurisdiction decreased.


    “Greetings, Lord Dragon!” When Billy and the others approached, Princess Eligina slightly bowed and greeted them before looking towards Harleen and Ivy.


    “So you’re Commander Gardner of vale?” At this moment, the leader of the Guardians, an elderly man, looked at Billy and asked with a slightly harsh tone.


    “And who might you be?” Billy nced at the old man.


    The old man’s cultivation wasn’t weak; he was at the same level as the master of Frost Pce, who Billy had killed yesterday. He had reached the strength of a Half-Step Saint of the third rank. Billy had already guessed the old man’s identity. Other than being one of the Guardians’ four Provincial Governors, there was no one else it could be.


    “Outrageous! You should show respect when you meet Provincial Governor!” Another man pointed angrily at Billy.


    “You better put away your hand, or else you won’t like the consequences!” Casey took a couple of steps forward and drew his Blood Shadow Battle de


    “You…” The man furrowed his brows and was about to shout.


    “Shut up!” The leading old man of the Guardians scolded him. Then, he continued looking at Billy. “I am Philbert Parker, the Eastern Provincial Governor of the Guardians.”


    “Do you need something?” Billy asked indifferently. As he spoke, scenes from a few months ago at the Sanctum of Darkness headquarters shed through his mind. At that time, after they had annihted the Sanctum of Darkness, Billy encountered several Guardians who wanted to get their hands on the treasury of the Sanctum of Darkness. The two sides were on the verge of conflict, but Edie Fennimore appeared in time and drove them away. ording to Edie Fennimore, those people were Philbert Parker’s subordinates.


    “No, I just wanted to give you a piece of advice,” Philbert Parker coldly replied. “This is the Pr Domain. No matter what your identity is, when youe here, you must abide by the Guardians’ rules. You’ve only been here for a few days, and you’ve already caused quite a stir in the Eastern Region. We can overlook what happened before today, considering that you’re new to the Pr Domain and may not fully understand the rules here. But starting from today, if there’s any vition of the Guardians’ regtions, I can only apologize to you!”


    “You’re thinking highly of yourself!” Azure Dragon muttered.


    “Outrageous! How dare you speak like that? Are you tired of living?” The man from before shouted again.


    “Idiot!” Azure Dragon nced at him.


    “Kneel!” The man’s eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand to strike.


    However, just as his attack was about to hit, Ian de, who was standing beside him, directly sent him flying with a punch.


    “Hmm?” Philbert Parker frowned as he watched this scene. “Commander Gardner, don’t you control your people?”


    “It seems like your people made the first move, didn’t they?” Billy replied nonchntly.


    “You…” The man climbed back up and spoke again.


    “Enough, shut up!” Philbert Parker stopped him again. Then, he continued looking at Billy. “I hope you remember what I just said, otherwise, you’ll bear all the consequences!”


    “Alright then!” Billy smirked coldly.


    “So, you’re the so-called Kylin from vale?” At this moment, a young man from the Northfortia group stepped forward, his gaze icy as he stared at Billy.


    “Do I know you?” Billy nced at him. As he spoke, he probed the young man’s cultivation. It was quite strong, a Half-Step Saint. He should be the genius that Otis Hum mentioned, the one that Northfortia had hidden for many years.


    “Let me introduce myself first. I’m Klein, the leader of the Northfortia team this time!” the young man replied. “Also, Thomas, who you killedst time in Xidengia, is my cousin!”


    “Do I need to apologize to you?” Billy spoke indifferently.


    “You don’t need to apologize to me. If there’s a chance, I’ll make you kneel in front of my cousin and apologize!” Klein responded.


    “Alright then, I’ll be waiting!” Billy narrowed his eyes slightly. After speaking, he ignored Klein and turned his gaze towards Aqundia’s group. Ever since he got off the car, he had sensed that someone from their group held murderous intent towards him, most likely due to the incident at the Snow Dragon City.


    “Alright, I’ll take you to the Ice Cave!” After a while, Philbert Parker said and walked forward.


    In about ten minutes, they arrived near a cave entrance. The widest part of the entrance was about twenty meters, and it was about thirty to forty meters high. The entrance had an irregr shape, with many thick ice stctites hanging from above. What surprised everyone was that even though they were still several meters away from the entrance, they could already feel a strong oppressive aura emanating from it.


    “That’s the Ice Cave for this expedition!” Philbert Parker pointed towards the cave entrance. “Let me make one thing clear. No one has ever entered before, so no one knows what’s inside the cave. Therefore, anyone who enters takes all the risks and bears all the consequences!”


    “I want to confirm, does everything found inside not need to be handed over to the Guardians?” a man from Aqundia asked.


    “That’s right!” Philbert Parker nodded. “Those are the prizes for the three teams participating in the Global Martial Arts Competition.”


    “Got it.” the man from Aqundia replied.


    “Alright, if there are no more questions, the three teams can send people in!” Philbert Parker continued loudly.


    “Lord Dragon, it’s probably not that simple inside. It’s better to be cautious and not bring too many people.” Ernest Shepherd from the vale camp looked at Billy and spoke.


    Billy nodded and thought for a moment before continuing, “Casey, Azure Fang, Bob, Ian, Stout, and I will go in. The rest of you wait outside.”


    “Billy, I’ll go in with you!”


    “Billy, let me go with you!”


    ” I want to go too!”


    “…”


    Upon hearing Billy’s words, everyone started moring.


    “Harleen, we don’t know the situation inside yet. You, Ivy, and Night Orchid should stay outside.” Billy first looked at Harleen and spoke.


    “Boss, let us go in!” Azure Dragon and White Tiger spoke again.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    “None of you should go in. Stay outside and keep watch!” Billy responded. As he spoke, he nced at the Guardians and the people from the other two countries, then added with a thoughtful tone, “The outside may not be safer than the inside. Everyone mustn’t let their guard down!”
