Chapter 284 The Lair of Yin Void Sect

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment. "What... what do you mean?"

"From the moment you first laid eyes on us, your gaze gave you away," Billy calmly spoke. "Others might have looked slightly surprised when they saw us, but your eyes were different, especially when you saw Ms Salvage. You had the look of someone who sees prey coming to their doorstep."

"Furthermore, did you add Mystery Fragrant Grass to this tea?" Billy continued. "Take a sip, and within three minutes, the drinker 'll fall unconscious."

"Am I right?"

Hissing sounds filled the air as Simona Salvage gasped in shock.

"But since Commander Gardner knew the tea was poisoned, why did he drink it?" she thought.

"Hmm!?" Upon hearing Billy's words, a murderous intent emanated from the middle-aged man. "Who are you?"

"Tell me the location of your hideout, and I'll spare your life." Billy spoke calmly once more.

Someone of this level could not possibly escape from the scrutiny of the King of the West. Billy had already sensed the auras of the ordinary villagers as he approached the village gate. Aside from the man before him, the rest were indeed regular villagers. It was evident that this man had been providing information to those in the mountains, and if prey came to their doorstep, he would not hesitate to act.

The middle-aged man snorted and said, "You're quite audacious. You've already drunk the tea, and in another minute, you'll be unconscious. Yet you dare talk about sparing my life? What a colossal joke!"

"You scoundrel!" Simona shouted. "Give us the antidote!"

"Haha, once you're poisoned by Mystery Fragrant Grass, there's no cure. You can only wait for it to wear off in an hour." The middle-aged man said, licking his dry lips. "But, my dear lady, don't worry. After I kill your man here, I'll take you up the mountain. A stunning beauty like you, will surely be cherished by the brothers up there. You won't be able to resist their advances."

"I'll kill you!" Simona's face turned pale as she prepared to attack.

"Ms Salvage, you're no match for him. Rest on the side for now." Billy advised.

"But, Mr Gardner..." Simona looked concerned.

"If such a child's play poison could affect me, I would have died countless times by now." Billy said with a faint smile.

"What do you mean? You're not poisoned?" The middle-aged man exclaimed, his face filled with shock. "You drank the tea!"

"I gave you a chance earlier, but you didn't seize it." Billy said, ignoring his question.

"Humph! No matter if you're poisoned or not, I'll still kill you!" The middle-aged man's unease turned into anger. Having spoken, the middle-aged man raised his hand and charged toward Billy, his aura bursting with the strength of a True Master Battle General.

Simona couldn't help but shiver involuntarily at the scene.

Before the man could cover much ground, a powerful gust of wind swept through, causing him to be flung backward. He crashed into two tables and fell to the ground, with three or four ribs broken.

"Battle God Realm?!" He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with astonishment. "Who... who are you?"

"My surname is Gardner, from the Western Territories." Billy revealed his identity.

"What?!" The middle-aged man gasped, trembling all over. "Are you... are you Commander Gardner?"

As a martial artist, he might not have met Billy in person, but he had undoubtedly heard the name Commander Gardner.

"Congratulations, you got it right." Billy calmly confirmed.

Hearing this, the man had no trace of false bravado left. He crawled over to Billy and knelt.

"I'm sorry... please spare me, Commander Gardner. I was forced into this. I'll lead you up the mountain."

He hadn't expected that the legendary figure, the pride of the nation, would come in person. He finally understood why Billy hadn't been affected by the Mystery Fragrant Grass-laced tea.

In his heart, he silently mourned for those on the mountain. After tonight, there might not be a Yin Void Sect left.

Three silver needles shot from Billy's hand and entered the man's body, sealing his cultivation.

"Lead the way." Billy ordered.

"Yes..." Trembling, the man got up and led them toward their destination.

The remnants of Yin Void Sect hid deep within the mountains, and it took the group an hour to reach their hideout. In a secluded mountain nook halfway up, there stood a not-so-large estate. The buildings were all made of wood, their exteriors blending with the surroundings. The estate was surrounded by mountains, and dense trees grew all around. Without the man's guidance, it would have been nearly impossible to find this place.

"Com-Commander Gardner, this is..." The man pointed hundreds of meters ahead. "The estate where Yin Void Sect's remnants live."

"Do all the survivors of Yin Void Sect stay here?" Stout inquired.

"No... not all of them," the man replied. "The estate is mainly for the sect master, a few elders, and core disciples. Most of the others live on the outskirts of Shenford, but they return here every month for a week of intensive training."

"Azure Fang, have the men wait here for now. We'll go in and assess the situation." Billy instructed.

"Yes!" Azure Fang replied, understanding that his brother was concerned about any potential trouble inside.

Two minutes later, Billy and his group reached the estate's entrance.

"Who are you?" Two black-clad men at the entrance looked tense. From NôvelDrama.Org.

"It's me, Wilbur." the middle-aged man replied.

"Why are you coming here so late? Who are they?" one of the men asked, furrowing his brows.

Before he reached them, Stout struck him with a palm, sending him flying over ten meters before he hit the ground and lay motionless.

"What are you trying to do?" The other man reacted quickly and was about to rush into the estate.

Azure Fang flicked his wrist, and a cold light passed through the man's body, cutting him in half.

Simona Salvage turned away and vomited, the scene was too gruesome.

Boom!

As they arrived at the entrance of the estate, Azure Fang raised his hand once more, and the heavy estate gates exploded as if made of paper.

"Who goes there?" About twenty to thirty men who were patrolling inside the estate immediately surrounded them.

"Wilbur?" The leader recognized the middle-aged man and angrily shouted, "What are you thinking? Who are these people?"

"Tell your sect leader to come out!" Stout raised his voice.

"You dare to be insolent!" The leader shouted, "Dare to come here seeking death, we'll gladly grant your wish!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the group of men immediately rushed toward Billy and his companions with the intent to kill.
