Just as he had run a few hundred meters, a sword aura pierced through his back.


    The one who made the move was Opal. She had just killed one of Amber’s opponents and happened to see this scene, so she casually stabbed out with her sword.


    The old man lowered his head to look at the blood hole in his chest, took two more steps, and then fell down, losing breath.


    Shortly after, Billynded beside the old man. He used his dagger to lift the ck cloth on the old man’s face, revealing a Westerner’s face.


    “A Westerner?” Casey, Azure Dragon, and the others walked over at the same time, a hint of surprise shing across their faces.


    This was the first time they encountered a Western cultivator of the Divine Realm or above after entering this Forbidden Ruins Space. Before this, although they asionally encountered Westerners, their cultivation levels were not high. The strongest were only martial artists below the mid-term of the Divine Realm.


    “Why would there be Western cultivators of this level in Ice Cloud Imperial Pce?” Azure Dragon frowned slightly.


    “It may not necessarily be someone from Ice Cloud Imperial Pce!” Billy replied thoughtfully.


    “Boss, do you have any suspicions?” Azure Dragon asked.


    “It’s not certain yet, we’ll know after asking him!” Billy said, walking over to Cason Galloway, who was lying unconscious nearby.


    Meanwhile, the remaining few from the other side had already beenpletely cleaned up by Opal and Amber.


    Soon, everyone arrived in front of Cason Galloway. Billy sent a few strands of Chi power into his body.


    “Mm…” Cason Galloway slowly opened his eyes, the severe pain making his expression slightly contorted.


    At this point, he was already a useless person without any cultivation, naturally unable to bear the injuries on his body.


    “Kill me… just kill me…” Cason Galloway struggled to speak, devoid of any desire to survive. However, he didn’t even have the right tomit suicide now.


    “Answer a few questions, and I’ll make it quick for you!” Billy said lightly.


    “Whether you want to kill or torture, just do it. If you want answers, wait for the next life!” Cason Galloway gritted his teeth.


    “Ivy!” Billy called out.


    “Understood!” Ivy responded, taking out several silver needles from her body and walking towards him.


    What happened next was simple. Under Ivy’s silver needles, Cason Galloway couldn’t hold on for even a minute.


    After Ivy pulled out the silver needles, Cason Galloway gasped for breath on the ground.


    “Who is behind you?” After the other party slightly recovered, Billy asked lightly.


    “It’s… it’s Lord Richards…” Cason Galloway struggled to speak.


    “Lord Richards?” Azure Dragon paused. “You’re not going to tell me he’s Victoria and Rachel Richards’ father, right?”


    “No… it’s not…” Cason Galloway shook his head. “The empress has two brothers as dukes. I… I’m referring to the eldest duke, Deon Richards…”


    “He’s the one who wants the mechanism diagram of the ‘Star Secret Space’?” Amber asked.


    “Yes… that’s him…” Cason Galloway responded.


    “The people from the ydragon Sect are also instructed by Lord Richards. He… he doesn’t want the people from the pce to take action directly, so he instructed the people from the ydragon Sect to intervene…”


    “Indeed!” Hearing this, Casey and the others couldn’t help butment.


    A few days ago, they learned from Max Castillo of the ydragon Sect that he acted against Opal, Amber and Abby under the orders of the royal family. However, he usually only interacted with Cason Galloway and didn’t know which member of the royal family Cason Galloway specifically served.


    “Who are these masked people?” Casey continued.


    “They are the Ghost Soldiers, Lord Richards’s private army, without names, only numbers…” Cason Galloway spoke again.


    “The Ghost Soldiers rarely show themselves publicly. They only appear when the Lord has special matters…”


    “How many of them are there?” Casey asked.


    “Specific numbers… I don’t know…” Cason Galloway shook his head and responded, “It might be over four or five thousand.”


    “Damn!” White Tiger and ck Tortoise both eximed.


    Thousands of soldiers, are they nning a rebellion?


    “What does he want with so many soldiers?” Casey asked again.


    “I… I don’t know about that either…” Cason Galloway hesitated slightly.


    “Is that so?” Billy squinted slightly and pointed to the Westerner not far away, “Who is he?”


    “I… I don’t know him either… He was sent by Lord Richards…” A hint of suspicion shed in Cason Galloway’s eyes.


    “Still not willing to tell the truth?” Ivy squinted, flipped her wrist, and several silver needles appeared in her hand again.


    “I… I’ll talk…” Cason Galloway, trembling with fear, hurriedly shouted.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    After a slight pause, he struggled to speak, “He… he is from Crimson me Empire…”


    “Huh?!” Upon hearing his words, including Billy, they all eximed in surprise.


    “Crimson me Imperial Family has Westerners?” Vermilion Bird spoke up.


    “He shouldn’t belong to the imperial family!” Opal interjected.


    “From what we know, there are many Westerners gathered within Crimson me Empire’s borders, but the imperial family consists of vale people.”


    “However, there are many high-ranking officials in the pce who are Westerners, mainly from Northfortia.”


    “Is that so?” Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, and others eximed in surprise again.


    “Is your duke colluding with people from Crimson me Empire?” Ivy asked after a brief pause, “What is his purpose?”


    “Lord Richards wants to seize the throne…” Cason Galloway didn’t hide it anymore, “He has been secretly in contact with people from Crimson me Empire for two or three years…”


    “Are those soldiers trained for this purpose?” Harleen asked.


    “Yes!” Cason Galloway nodded.


    “Is he nning to make a move in the next few days?” Billy frowned slightly.


    “Yes… yes…” Cason Galloway spoke again, “The reason we came to you today is to prepare for that matter…”


    “Lord Richards knows that you have a good rtionship with Victoria and Rachel Richards, and he’s worried that you might interfere with his ns, so before taking action, he wants to get rid of you first…”


    “How many people from Crimson me Empire havee to Ice Cloud Empire? What is theirbat strength?” Billy continued to ask.


    “I really don’t know about this…” Cason Galloway responded, “This is personally handled by Lord Richards, and I know very little about it…”


    Billy could see from his eyes that there was probably no concealment. After a slight pause, he continued to ask.


    “When does he n to make a move specifically?”
