The journey from Black Phoenix City to Mysthaven City was a distance of two thousand kilometers. It took the group about four to five hours, and they arrived at a valley one hundred kilometers away from Mysthaven City the next morning, which was the meeting point arranged by Billy and his mother.
As soon as they entered the entrance of the valley, they saw Stephanie and Edie waiting for them.
“Mom, Aunt Edie!” Billy exclaimed.
“Aunt Stephanie, Aunt Edie!” the others greeted.
“…”
Billy and the others greeted the two of them.
“Billy, how are you guys? Are you all okay?” Stephanie asked, looking at everyone.
“We’re all right, Mom.” Billy smiled and replied.
“That’s good!” Stephanie let out a sigh of relief after roughly assessing everyone’s condition and seeing that there were no major issues.
“Aunt Stephanie, have you already been to Mysthaven City? Did you slaughter them all?” Stout smacked his lips and asked.
Azure Dragon and the others coughed.
Come on, Aunt Stephanie hadn’t gone there for the kill.
Edie smiled and said, “Stout, I don’t have such a strong desire for slaughter.”
“And besides, we didn’t have time. We just arrived not long ago and left after killing two Legion Commanders at the Seventh Rank.”
“that’s not bad!” Stout grinned.
“In Mysthaven City, apart from that old guy, Reit, there are only a few high-level forces left at the Seventh Rank. Killing two of them is enough to make them suffer!”
“Aunt Edie, have all of our people arrived?” Casey asked.
“They’ve been here for a while, just waiting for you guys!” Edie nodded in response.
After speaking, she turned to Billy and asked, “Billy, Reit is a Half-Step Divine. Are you really confident?”
“To be honest, I’m not very confident, but I can give it a try!” Billy replied after a moment of contemplation.
“Even if there’s a slim chance, we should give it a try!” Stephanie stared ahead with a serious expression. “In this battle, if we don’t take the initiative, Reit won’t give us any time!”
Although she wasn’t very confident in winning against the enemy, as she said, she had no other choice.
In this battle, if Skydragon City didn’t take the initiative, Mysthaven City wouldn’t give them much time. Instead of bringing the battle to Skydragon City, it was better to take the initiative to attack.
This way, even if they were truly defeated, at least it wouldn’t affect the innocent people below.
“Okay!” Everyone nodded in agreement.
Ten minutes later, the main force set off towards Mysthaven City.
This battle was a matter of life and death for Skydragon City, so Stephanie personally brought twenty thousand elites.
They were divided into four groups, with five thousand people in each group, led by Howard Sutherland and the other three.
It was worth mentioning that the old masters of the four families also came, each bringing four to five hundred elites from their respective families.
After about an hour, the four groups of troops stopped at the open space outside the four main gates of Mysthaven City.
Stephanie, along with Sol Stuart, Billy, and Howard Sutherland, targeted the main gate, while the old masters of the four major families and three other elders attacked the other three gates.
Mysthaven City, like Demonrealm City, had tall walls surrounding the entire city. Outside the main gate, Stephanie led Billy and the others to get out of the car and walked towards the gate. The people inside Mysthaven City seemed to have expected their arrival. The city gate was tightly closed, and there was a crowd of people on the city walls, fully alert.
“Inform the Lord that the army of Skydragon City has arrived!” At this moment, an old man on the city wall shouted.
Before his words could even fall, more than a dozen figures flew from within the city, with Reit leading the way.
Followed by a dozen individuals, each with formidable cultivation, they were a force to be reckoned with. Among them were four Seventh-rank Saints, eight Sixth-rank Saints, and the rest were Fifth-rank Saints. It was no wonder they were the top-ranked supercity in the Central Part. Even after suffering heavy losses, they still displayed such a formidable lineup.
“Lady Stuart, I must admit, you impress me. To dare to initiate a war!” Reit looked down from above and spoke loudly.
As he spoke, his gaze swept over Billy, his eyes filled with a sharp and ruthless glint.
If it weren’t for Billy, he might have already broken through to Divine Realm!
The feeling of falling short infuriated him to no end!
“Reit, it’s time to settle the score between us!” Stephanie responded.
“Over a year ago, you killed so many people from Skydragon City. Today, it’s time for you to pay the price!”
“Heh, you seem quite confident in yourself,” Reit sneered in response. “Even if you’ve recovered your cultivation, you’re only a Seventh-rank Saint. As for me, I’m just one step away from the true Divine realm!”
“Do you think you have a chance of winning today?”
“If you truly break through to the Divine realm, perhaps Skydragon City will have to submit to Mysthaven City,” Stephanie replied. “But unfortunately, you’re still one step behind!”
“A Half-Step Divine is still a far cry from the true Divine realm. Killing you won’t be too difficult!”
“You overestimate yourself!” Reit sneered again.
“Without breaking through to the Half-Step Divine realm, you can’t truly understand the gap between us!”
“Do you believe that with the people around you, I alone can send all of you to hell?”
“Enough talk, let’s get started!” Stephanie coldly responded. “After today, either Mysthaven City or Skydragon City will remain standing. It will be decided by strength!”
“Alright!” After Reit finished speaking, he turned to the people beside him and said, “Leave two people here, the rest of you go to the other three gates!”
“Understood!” the dozen individuals responded simultaneously.
Then, apart from two old men at the Seventh Rank, the others split up and headed towards the other gates.
“Sol, you take care of those two Seventh-rank Saints!” Stephanie looked at Sol Stuart and said.
“Madam, Young Master, be careful!” Sol Stuart’s face showed a trace of worry.
“Attack!” Stephanie raised her hand and waved.
“Charge!” The four to five thousand people behind her shouted in unison and rushed towards the city gate.
“Billy, let’s go meet Reit, this Half-Step Divine!” Stephanie said to Billy before swiftly flying towards Reit.
In truth, if there was a choice, she didn’t want Billy to take such a risk with her.
But she knew very well that if she were alone, she wouldn’t even have a thirty percent chance of winning. The gap between a Half-Step Divine and a Seventh-rank Saint was crystal clear to her!
And the reason she asked Billy to join her rather than Sol Stuart was because she understood her son.
Although Billy’s cultivation was only at the Sixth-rank Saint even when using his bloodline power, she knew that his combat strength surpassed that of Sol Stuart.
With the two of them working together, they might have a chance of over forty percent!
“Alright!” Billy replied and followed closely behind.
“If you both are so eager to die, I’ll grant your wish!” Reit glanced around before swiftly moving to the side. “The space here is limited, let’s change the location!”
Then, the three flew towards a nearby open space.
On the other side, Sol Stuart and the two Seventh-rank Saints headed in another direction, clearly planning to find a different battleground.
