Chapter 2042: Blade and Sword Sect Sect Master
Billy did not expect the people from the Alchemists’ Alliance to come to their aid.
He had already learned about the previous situation from Casey. Without the help of the Alchemists’ Alliance, Casey and the others would have faced dire consequences.
“Mr. Billy, there’s no need to be so polite. It was just a small effort!” Juliana Frost smiled and pointed to the man beside her, William Frost. “Mr. Billy, let me introduce you to Elder William!”
“Elder William, nice to meet you!” Billy clasped his hands in greeting. “Thank you very much!”
“Mr. Billy, there’s no need for thanks!” William Frost responded with a clasp of his hands. “If you have time in a few days, could you visit the Alchemists’ Alliance for a discussion?”
“Of course!” Billy replied.
From the aura emanating from William Frost, Billy could tell that he was at the mid-stage of the Perfection Emptiness Realm, likely someone from another branch or the headquarters of the Alchemists’ Alliance.
It was not surprising that he had come for the Sky-Splitting Pill with a ninety-eight percent purity.
“Thank you!” William Frost said again.
Afterward, Juliana Frost and the people from the Alchemists’ Alliance bid farewell to Harleen and Casey and left.
Meanwhile, Ryder Blade, Clayton Acevedo, and other core members of the Blade and Sword Sect were conversing with a phantom elder.
“Billy Boy, come over here!” The phantom elder called out to Billy after a while.
“What can I do for you, senior?” Billy asked as he led his group over.
“Everyone from the Blade and Sword Sect, listen up!” The phantom elder addressed Ryder Blade, Clayton Acevedo, and the others loudly.
“From today onwards, the Blade and Sword Sect will be remerged into one. Billy Boy will be the Sect Master, with Dorian Acevedo and Hawkeye Blade as Vice Sect Masters. Does anyone have any objections?”
“No!” Ryder Blade and the others responded in unison as if they had already discussed it.
“Hmm?” Billy was stunned. He had not expected such an arrangement from the elder.
After a brief pause, he clasped his hands and said, “Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I am too inexperienced to take on such a significant responsibility. Please choose someone else…”
“Mr. Billy, there’s no need to decline!” Dorian Acevedo interjected. “There is something you might not know!”
“Before our predecessor went into seclusion years ago, he left a message saying that if anyone from the Blade and Sword Sect could break the array in the forbidden land, they would be the next Sect Master of the Blade and Sword Sect!”
“However, our predecessor did not foresee that the Blade and Sword Sect would split.”
“In fact, after Elder Clayton took you to meet Elder Ryder at the Blade Sect that day, we discussed this matter.”
“We unanimously decided that if Mr. Billy could indeed break the array in the forbidden land and obtain the blade and sword techniques within, we would consider reuniting the Blade and Sword Sect and elect you as the new Sect Master!”
“The Blade and Sword Sect was originally one family. For a thousand years, both sects have been declining. It’s time to reunite…”
“Sect Master, this is really not appropriate!” Billy spoke again.
“I am not only inexperienced but also only at the early stage of the Entering Emptiness Realm. It would be difficult to gain everyone’s respect!”
“Moreover, because of the Nine Dragons Cauldron, I have many troubles. If I become the Sect Master of the Blade and Sword Sect, it will inevitably bring endless problems to the sect…”
“You are the first person in nearly a thousand years to simultaneously master both the Phantom Blade Technique and Phantom Sword Technique to the Great Perfection Realm. Tell me, who in the Blade and Sword Sect would not respect you?” The phantom elder interrupted him.
“Furthermore, our Blade and Sword Sect has never been afraid of trouble!”
“It’s really not appropriate!” Billy shook his head again and continued after a brief pause.
“Senior, how about this? Let Elder Clayton be the Sect Master. I can serve as a guest elder for now and discuss it further later…”
“This matter is not up for discussion. It’s decided!” The phantom elder interrupted Billy again.
“Considering that Billy Boy has other matters to attend to and is not familiar with sect affairs yet, Clayton Acevedo will temporarily act as Sect Master.”
“Understood!” Everyone responded in unison again.
“…,” Billy’s mouth twitched slightly but he said nothing more.
The elder had made his decision clear. If Billy continued to refuse, it would seem too stubborn. He could only agree for now and deal with it later.
Then, the phantom elder waved his hand, sending two storage rings to Ryder Blade and Jericho Acevedo.
“These contain the ultimate techniques of the Blade and Sword Sect that I brought into the forbidden land!”
“Thank you, senior!” Ryder Blade and Jericho Acevedo accepted the storage rings and bowed.
“Alright, Clayton Acevedo, Billy Boy, and Harleen gal, come with me. The rest of you are dismissed!” The phantom elder said before flying into the air.
Clayton Acevedo, Billy, and Harleen followed closely behind.
Soon, they arrived at a cliff outside the city.
“You two still lack some proficiency in the Phantom Blade Technique and Phantom Sword Technique. Let me demonstrate it for you. Pay close attention.” After landing on the ground, the phantom elder addressed Billy and Harleen.
“Thank you, senior!” They responded.
The phantom elder then began his demonstration.
It was clear that his mastery of both techniques was several levels higher than that of Billy and Harleen.
After finishing his demonstration, he began explaining to them.
It is worth noting that, like Cracked Sky and Five Elements Blade Dance, the highest level of both Phantom Blade Technique and Phantom Sword Technique is a combination of blade and sword!
The phantom elder spent two hours giving Billy and Harleen a new understanding of these ultimate techniques.
He then explained the concept of blade and sword intent as well as the Realm of Swords and Blades.
During this process, he personally demonstrated the Realm of Swords and Blades, which was several magnitudes stronger than Clayton Acevedo’s previous demonstration.
Billy and Harleen felt as small as dust within it.
Through his explanations, their understanding of the Realm of Swords and Blades deepened significantly.
“That’s all I can teach you!” The phantom elder said after another hour had passed.
He then turned to Clayton Acevedo. “The future of the Blade and Sword Sect is in your hands. Do not disappoint me!”
“I will do my utmost!” Clayton Acevedo responded with a bow.
“Take this!” The phantom elder handed another storage ring to Clayton Acevedo.
“It contains three high-grade Spirit Essence Pills. One each for you, Ryder Blade, and Jericho Acevedo.”
“Whether you can enhance your cultivation or how much you can enhance it depends on your own fortune!”
“High-grade Spirit Essence Pills?” Clayton Acevedo’s eyes lit up as he bowed again. “Thank you, senior!”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
High-grade Spirit Essence Pills were extremely rare even in fifth-tier star domains, let alone this fourth-tier star domain!
After accepting the storage ring, Clayton Acevedo asked again, “Is there anything else you need to instruct us on?”
“No more instructions. Just remember not to repeat my mistakes!” The phantom elder replied.
“I will remember!” Clayton Acevedo bowed again.
“Alright then. My soul consciousness is almost exhausted. Let me give you two one last gift!” The phantom elder said as he looked at Billy and Harleen.
Before they could react, a Realm of Swords and Blades enveloped them both, filling the space with profound blade and sword intent.
Meanwhile, the elder’s image grew increasingly blurry until it finally dissipated completely.
