A few minutester, Billy led everyone back to the front yard of the mansion.


    As for Max Castillo, Billy fulfilled his wish and gave him a swift end.


    “Billy Boy, it’s not safe here anymore. We need to leave as soon as possible,” Opal said to Billy.


    “Yeah!” Billy nodded in agreement and gave instructions.


    “Azure Dragon, you and Vermilion Bird go capture someone and ask where ydragon Sect’s warehouse is located. Let Ivy go with you to pick some spirit fruits and beast cores.”


    “Got it!” Azure Dragon responded with a nod.


    Half an hourter, Billy led everyone away into the sky.


    Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird each carried arge cloth bag filled with valuable treasures.


    With this, ydragon Sect directly fell to a second or third-rate sect. Strictly speaking, they had officially withdrawn from the stage of the Ice Cloud Empire.


    About an hourter, Billy and his group arrived at a medium-sized city seven to eight hundred kilometers away from the Ice Cloud Imperial City.


    Upon entering the city, they found a rtively secluded inn and paid the owner with a top-grade spirit stone to have the inn to themselves.


    “Opal, Amber, where have you been these past few months? What happened to you? Why did the people from ydragon Sect want to capture you?” After a simple wash-up, everyone gathered in the living room of one of the suites, and White Tiger asked.


    “I’ll exin!” Amber responded and began to narrate their experiences to everyone.


    It took about an hour to describe in detail what had happened to the three of them over the past few months.


    Several months ago, after leaving Skydragon City, the three of them stayed in each of the four empires for a while, with the shortest time spent in Crimson me Empire and the longest in the Ice Cloud Empire.


    They had heard about the events in the Forbidden Phantom Valley, but their knowledge was not very detailed.


    When they heard that a Sacred Realm expert had helped Billy and his group at the entrance, they guessed it must have been someone from Ether Mountain, but they didn’t expect it to be the old master himself.


    And about half a month ago, the three of them had been traveling rtively smoothly, even when they encountered some tricky situations, they could easily resolve them.


    During this process, the cultivation of the three of them had also steadily improved.


    Opal had already broken through to the ninth-rank Divine Realm half a month ago, Amber had reached the eighth rank, and Abby Meskill had also broken through to the fourth rank.


    Originally, half a month ago, the three of them had nned to end their travels and return to Skydragon City, but then something happened.


    At that time, the three of them were passing through a mountainous area within the Ice Cloud Empire when they heard sounds of fighting nearby. Out of curiosity, they went to see what was happening.


    They found that one side was a middle-aged couple, both of whom were seriously injured and their breaths unstable.


    The other side consisted of about twenty men and women, all with unfriendly faces, with decent cultivation but not particrly strong.


    The highest cultivation among them was an elderly man in the ninth-rank Divine Realm, while the others were in the early stages of the Divine Realm.


    After observing for a while, Opal, Amber and Abby intervened to help the couple.


    It was clear that the opposing group was no match for Opal, Amber and Abby and they fled after losing several people.


    Afterward, Opal learned from the couple that they had been intercepted here by the group after being severely injured elsewhere.


    Both of them were at the brink of death, and although Opal, Amber and Abby wanted to heal them, it was already toote.


    Knowing their time was short, the couple entrusted them with a task and passed on their lifelong cultivation to Opal and Amber.


    Abby Meskill, due to her rtively weaker cultivation, couldn’t withstand the cultivation transfer from the couple and had to give up.


    It wasn’t until then that Opal and Amber realized that the couple were both Sacred Realm experts.


    Additionally, as they were on their deathbeds, they gave Opal, Amber and Abby a piece of animal skin scroll, which turned out to be the mechanism diagram of the ‘Star Secret Space’.


    The three of them at that time had no idea what “Star Secret Space” meant, and it was onlyter that they learned the value of the mechanism diagram.


    Everything has its pros and cons. Although the three obtained priceless treasures, they also brought upon themselves the danger of being killed.


    On the second day, as the three passed through a valley, they were intercepted by several waves of people.


    The other party’s intention was clear: they wanted Opal, Amber and Abby to hand over the mechanism diagram of the “Star Secret Space.”


    After a bitter battle, Opal, Amber and Abby were at their limit, and just as they were in dire straits, several masked men appeared and saved them.


    Later, Opal publicly destroyed the mechanism diagram into pieces, reducing it to nothing.


    Everyone at the scene was heartbroken and filled with hatred.


    However, since things hade to this, they could only give up.


    After the battle, Opal, Amber and Abby were seriously injured, so they didn’t rush back to Skydragon City. Instead, they found a small inn in Ice Cloud Imperial City to temporarily recuperate.


    For the past half month, the three of them had been staying in the inn room for healing.


    It wasn’t until today that things were barely settled. They had nned to go to the Royal Restaurant for some food before returning to Skydragon City.


    But unexpectedly, as soon as they showed up, they were targeted by someone.


    “Opal, what exactly is this ‘Star Secret Space’ mechanism diagram?” ck Tortoise asked Opal.


    “Star Secret Space is simr to Forbidden Phantom Valley, one of the four forbidden areas in the Forbidden Ruins Space,” Opal responded. “ording to legend, it might have been the forbiddennd of the Star Studded Sect, the sect’s ancestral grounds.”


    “Star Studded Sect?” Casey and the others were all stunned, hearing this name for the first time.


    “Yes!” Opal nodded.


    “It is said that Star Studded Sect was the number one sect in the Forbidden Ruins Space for thousands of years, with its overall strength far surpassing the four empires and super sects of today.”Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    “However, for some unknown reason, Star Studded Sect was wiped out overnight, including the sect’s headquarters and the city where it was located, with tens of thousands of people perishing.”


    “That’s so extreme?” White Tiger was slightly astonished.


    “That’s the rumor, I don’t know if it’s true or not!” Opal replied before continuing.


    “In addition, after that night, the sect’s headquarters was burned to ashes, and Star Studded Sectpletely disappeared from the Forbidden Ruins Space.”


    “What about this ‘Star Secret Space’ then?” Azure Dragon asked.


    “The story of Star Secret Space spread a yearter in the Forbidden Ruins Space,” Amber exined.


    “It is said that Star Studded Sect had a forbiddennd, the core of Star Studded Sect, where there were arge number of treasures, including cultivation resources and supreme martial arts secrets.”


    “And with the spread of rumors, a ‘Star Secret Space’ mechanism diagram also emerged, which is the one we obtained before.”


    “Since then, the entire Forbidden Ruins Space has been thrown into chaos because of a single diagram, with tens of thousands losing their lives.”
