Chapter 270 Gathering of Various Parties

A series of coughs filled the hall.

"I..." White Tiger was left dumbfounded, his face twitching.

"What do you mean, 'since you've already done it'? I haven't even held her hand!" White Tiger thought.

Rakshasa lowered her head once again, her blush deepening. Amid her shyness, a hint of delight flickered in her eyes. She knew Billy was joking, but at least it indicated that he didn't oppose the idea. As everyone had mentioned, their time together had formed a different kind of bond. Although she wasn't sure if it was love, it had definitely transcended mere camaraderie.

"All right, let's talk about business!" Billy waved his hand to interrupt White Tiger's words.

Except for Judge and Soul chaser, the others knew little the feeling. Upon seeing Rakshasa's expression, Billy naturally felt happy for White Tiger.

Billy turned to White Tiger and continued, "So, did you get the information we needed?"

"Yes, I did. It was the Sanctum of Darkness that ordered them to act. They also got information on Samuel Watson's whereabouts from them." White Tiger replied loudly.

"But all the contacts they had with the Sanctum of Darkness were individuals wearing robes and masks, so he doesn't know exactly who they were. He only knows they were members of the Sanctum of Darkness Elders' Council."

"Sanctum of Darkness again?" Billy slightly furrowed his brow, his thoughts already pointing in that direction. "Have you gathered any information about the Sanctum of Darkness?"

"It's still too early to have complete information." White Tiger shook his head, continuing, "But one thing is certain, they're definitely supported by several major nations in the west."

"Alright," Billy nodded slightly, indicating that he had suspected this. After a moment of thought, he continued, "Do you know the structure of the Sanctum of Darkness?"

"I know the basics." Rakshasa answered.

"The Sanctum of Darkness has a structure similar to a cabinet, known as the Dark Cabinet. Most of the major decisions of the Sanctum of Darkness are made through this organization."

"Among the seats in the Sanctum of Darkness, half of them are open to other forces within Place of Darkness as rewards for their contributions."

"Why do these forces want to secure more seats in the Sanctum of Darkness? On one hand, it offers them significant resource support, and on the other hand, it gives them a chance to participate in the Dark Cabinet's decisions."

"Besides the Dark Cabinet and the Council of Elders, the most publicly known aspect of the Sanctum of Darkness is their enforcers, known as the Lawkeepers."

"The Lawkeepers are divided into nine different levels based on stars, with one star being the weakest and nine stars being the strongest."

"Both the Lawkeepers and the Council of Elders members wear robes and masks and do not reveal their true identities."

"Besides this, I haven't learned much else yet."Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Do you know the location of their headquarters?" Billy asked, glancing at Rakshasa.

"I don't," Rakshasa shook her head. "Even the people within the Sanctum of Darkness don't seem to know unless they reach a certain rank. However, the Sanctum of Darkness is scattered across eight branches in Place of Darkness, which should not be too difficult to locate."

"Alright," Billy nodded again, then turned to White Tiger. "You have one month to gather information on the strength of the eight major branches of the Sanctum of Darkness."

Billy had a strong sense that the existence of the Sanctum of Darkness posed a significant threat to Glavale, even more than he had initially suspected.

"No problem, I'll ensure the task is completed." White Tiger affirmed confidently.

"Rakshasa, tell us about the map," Billy continued.

While he had no personal interest in the map itself, the situation had become a matter of life and death for Rakshasa Hall, and he had to get involved.

"Alright," Rakshasa nodded and began to speak. "I didn't know what the map was for at first. But recently, a rumor has been spreading in Place of Darkness. It says that twenty or thirty years ago, a powerful expert at the War Emperor level fell in a mountainous area of Place of Darkness. The place where he fell still contains all the knowledge he accumulated in his lifetime."

"As a result, everyone is flocking to it."

"War Emperor? Is that supposed to be so enticing?" Casey wore a disdainful expression.

"For the vast majority of martial artists, the War Emperor realm is something they only dream about occasionally." White Tiger said. "And there was such an opportunity available, so naturally, everyone wanted to try their luck."

"How did Place of Darkness find out that you had the map?" Billy asked Rakshasa.

"I don't know how the information got out," Rakshasa shook her head. "It might have been revealed by those from Blood Hall who survived."

"I see." Billy nodded. After a moment of contemplation, he instructed, "Spread the news that Rakshasa Hall has confirmed the location of that powerful expert's fall, and we will go there in the next few days to retrieve the knowledge he left behind."

"What do you mean by that, Commander Gardner?" Rakshasa was slightly puzzled.

"If we don't address this issue, Rakshasa Hall will eventually face danger," Casey explained, fully understanding Billy's intentions. "So, it's better to take care of it while we're all here, all at once."

"But..." Rakshasa hesitated for a moment. Among the people present, she was the one who understood Place of Darkness the best and knew that Sanctum of Darkness was not to be trifled with.

"Alright, that's the plan!" Billy interrupted her. "Spread the news. Tomorrow, we will go to that place."

"Understood!" Rakshasa nodded vigorously.

The next afternoon, Billy and his group appeared at the base of a primitive forest, thousands of miles away from Rakshasa Hall's headquarters. Among the group were not only Billy Gardner and his core team but also the hundred members of the Bloodshadow Guard led by James Harper.

"Boss, it's quite lively along the way!" Azure Dragon smiled at Billy.

"At least there are no fewer than forty forces following us, with a total number of probably no less than ten thousand people. Among them are many experts at Warlord level or higher."

"It's such a lively spectacle to behold, and they certainly won't give up." Billy nodded in agreement.

"How many of the top ten ranked forces in Placed of Darkness have come today?" he asked White Tiger.

"Excluding Blood Hall, Ebon Gate, Purgatory Gate and Rakshasa Hall, there are six left among the top ten forces in Place of Darkness." White Tiger replied.

"Today, all of them have come except for the top-ranked force."

"Who's the second-ranked force?" Billy asked, nodding again.

"The Inferno Sect." White Tiger answered solemnly.
