A few minutes later, Billy arrived at the square on the west side of the farmstead.
"Boss!" Casey, Azure Dragon, and others hurried over, followed by a hundred SHADOW operatives. Billy nodded slightly and then turned to Alban Carroll. "Alban, take your brothers and guard the inside of the banquet hall with Mr Geis and the others."
"Understood!" Alban Carroll replied loudly, leading his team toward the banquet hall.
Just then, Billy's phone rang, displaying Bob Stokes' number.
"Bob?!" Billy answered after pressing the call button.
"Boss, there's a situation near the Kun Lun Mountains. Quite a few people have arrived," Bob Stokes' voice came through the phone.
"As expected," Billy nodded. "Keep an eye on them and avoid confrontation unless absolutely necessary. Arthur Fowler and Bessie Charleston should be prepared for this. If anything happens, call me immediately."
Billy had already guessed the enemy's intentions a couple of days ago when he heard about the situation in Ozin. They were likely trying to keep him occupied in Ozin, preventing him from dealing with the situation involving Arthur Fowler and his companion.
"Understood!" Bob Stokes responded.
Billy had just hung up the phone when dozens of figures flashed into the farmstead from outside the perimeter wall. They quickly surrounded Billy and his group. Leading the group were two elderly men whose actual ages were impossible to determine. They both had white hair but youthful appearances, and their auras were sharp. The two powerful auras that Billy had sensed earlier came from these two men. One of them was even a Tier-one War God-Emperor.
Apart from these two, there were four others with the strength of Late War Emperors, with the most powerful among them being a Half-Step War God-Emperor. The rest of the group, totaling dozens, were not to be underestimated either, with the lowest cultivation at Late Battle God. They were clearly from the enemy camp.
"State your names." Billy said calmly, looking at the two elderly men.
"I am Leopold Stirling, Deputy Master of Ink Pavilion, Commander Gardner." The tall elderly man replied with a neutral expression as he bowed slightly.
"I am Atticus Wainwright, Senior Elder of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, Commander Gardner." The other elderly man said similarly, bowing.
"Heavenly Dragon Sect?" Billy raised an eyebrow. "Not bad."
"Damn, more old timers from the Heavenly Dragon Sect. Aren't you afraid of being annihilated?" Stout shouted loudly.
"Insolent! Who are you, and how dare you speak to our Senior Elder this way!" a man behind Atticus scolded angrily.
"Idiot!" Stout disdainfully glanced at him.
"Fool, you..." The man frowned, about to throw a punch at Stout.
"Stop!" Atticus stopped him. He then looked at Billy and spoke coldly, "Commander Gardner, we didn't come here with ill intentions. We only request that you stay inside Ozin for the day. Once today is over, we will leave immediately."
"Let's not discuss whether I'll stay in Ozin or not," Billy replied with a faint smile. "The question is whether you'll have the authority to make that decision."
"Commander Gardner, you seem very confident," Leopold said with a smile. "Do you think you and your six or seven people can contend with us?"
"Last time at the Crimson Sun Sect, you got lucky, with someone saving you," Leopold continued. "But this time, do you think you'll be lucky again?"
