After an unknown amount of time, Billy and the others tumbled out of the teleportation array one by one.
They landed on the hard ice surface, feeling dizzy and nauseous.
“Ouch, that fall almost killed me!” Stout exclaimed.
“I wonder who made this teleportation array, it’s so rough. Couldn’t they be a bit gentler?”
Night Orchid and Felicia smirked.
“Are we really back in the Polar Domain? I wonder where this is?”
After recovering slightly, Vermilion Bird scanned the surroundings and spoke up.
However, all they could see were snow-covered mountains in every direction, making it impossible to discern their location.
“There should be a small city a dozen kilometers away. Let’s go there and take a look,” Billy said after probing with his spiritual power.
Afterwards, they followed him through the air.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the small city Billy mentioned and began walking in.
However, they were puzzled to find the whole city deserted, with no one on the streets and all the shops closed.
Although it was still early, it was not normal for an entire city to be devoid of people.
“There are people inside the houses, there must be a reason they’re not opening the doors!” Casey said after using his spiritual power to investigate the surrounding shops.
“Let’s go and ask!” Billy nodded slightly and headed towards a shop on the right.
As they approached, a small door of the shop opened and an old man walked out, his face showing a guarded expression.
“Who are you?” the old man asked as the group approached.
“Sir, could you tell us what’s going on here? Why is there no one on the streets?” Night Orchid asked.
“Don’t you know?” The old man looked them over and said, “Are you from out of town?”
“Yes,” Night Orchid responded.
“No wonder!” The old man nodded.
“I can see you’re not bad people. Listen to my advice and leave this place quickly. It’s not safe here!”
“Sir, what exactly happened here?” Felicia asked.
The old man sighed and continued, “These past two days, a group of evildoers appeared from nowhere.”
“They are very strong, but extremely cruel, killing people indiscriminately, it’s horrifying.”
“In just two days, they almost wiped out two cities nearly a hundred kilometers away, killing tens of thousands of people, regardless of age or gender.”
“This has never happened in the history of the Polar Domain. Even during wars between countries, civilians were not massacred like this.”
“So, now everyone is in danger, and everyone is preparing to evacuate with their families.”
“Hmm?” Upon hearing this, Billy and the others frowned simultaneously.
Obviously, the evildoers mentioned by the old man must be from the Blood and Devil Sects.
Everyone thought that the people from the two sects had attacked the Polar Domain as soon as they appeared!
“Sir, is this the Central Domain? How far is it from the City of Angels?” Frostblade asked.
“It’s about seven or eight hundred kilometers from here to the City of Angels,” the old man replied.
The group fell silent.
The teleportation array was really unreliable, deviating by seven or eight hundred kilometers? That’s too random!
“Are you heading to the City of Angels?” The old man seemed to remember something and continued after a pause.
“If you could heed my advice, it’s best not to go there. The City of Angels is probably a dangerous place now.”
“What do you mean?” Azure Dragon furrowed his brow.
“The next target of those evildoers should be the City of Angels!” the old man replied.
“My friend in the City of Angels called me last night and said the City of Angels is already on high alert, as if facing a major enemy.”
“Hmm?” Billy’s pupils constricted slightly.
The City of Angels was the largest city in the Central Domain, with a population of hundreds of thousands. If it were to be attacked by the people of the Blood and Devil Sects, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Moreover, before entering the Forbidden Ruins Space, his mother had already moved the headquarters of Skydragon City in the Polar Domain to the City of Angels.
In addition, their ancestral home was also in the City of Angels.
“Boss, should we go there first?” Casey looked at Billy and asked.
“Yes!” Billy nodded.
He couldn’t just ignore this!
Then, after figuring out the approximate direction of the City of Angels, they quickly flew through the air.
Meanwhile, in the City of Angels, preparations were indeed underway.
Since last night, under the advice of Skydragon City and the Arnold family, the ordinary people in the city had begun to evacuate.
Up to now, there were seventy to eighty thousand people left in the City of Angels.
Half of them were from Skydragon City, and the other half were from the Arnold family and some other sects.
Of course, there were still many independent cultivators who had not left.
The City of Angels today was completely different from two years ago.
Under the joint operation of Skydragon City and the Arnold family, although it couldn’t be said to be completely harmonious, there were very few large-scale conflicts between sects.
The cohesion of the entire city was incomparable to before.
So, even though they knew that the City of Angels might face a catastrophe, besides the ordinary people, few warriors chose to flee at the last minute.
After Stephanie Stuart moved most of Skydragon City’s forces to the City of Angels, a headquarters was established in the east of the city.
It retained the name Skydragon City, serving as a city within a city.
After Stephanie Stuart, Edie Fennimore, and Sol Stuart went to the Forbidden Ruins Space, Corey Gentry, the former deputy city lord, took over as the city lord.
In addition, a decision-making body was established, consisting of four elders.
Any major actions taken by Skydragon City would be decided by consensus between Corey Gentry and the four elders.
“City Lord, are those people really killing and drinking blood?” Inside Skydragon City, Elder Henry looked at Corey Gentry and asked.
“According to the survivors, it’s true!” Corey Gentry nodded solemnly.
“What kind of people are they exactly? How powerful are they? Have you found out?”
“Not yet!” Corey Gentry shook his head gravely.
“Their methods are cruel. Almost everyone in the two cities was slaughtered, and the survivors are not martial artists, so they can’t provide detailed information about their strength. They only know they are very powerful.”
“It’s said that none of the martial artists in the two cities could withstand a single move from them.”
“Hmm?!” Hearing this, one of the elders was stunned.
“As far as I know, in those two cities, there are large families that have recruited many independent cultivators as guards.”
“It’s said that the strongest among them has reached the ninth-rank Saint realm, yet they couldn’t even withstand a single move?”
“Yes!” Corey Gentry took a deep breath and nodded.
“Where did this group of people suddenly come from, with such strong skills?” Corey Gentry shook his head in response.
“How many people do they have on their side?”
“As for the exact number, the survivors have no idea, only a rough estimate, probably around fifty or sixty,” Corey Gentry replied.
“Fifty or sixty people managed to wipe out two cities…”
“City Lord, what’s the opinion of the Arnold family and other sects?”
“I just came back from the Arnold family, and we’ve reached an agreement with them.”
“If they dare to come, no matter what the cost, we must keep them in the City of Angels!”
“Mm.”
“Now, nearly seventy percent of the entire Polar Domain consists of our Glavale brethren. We must not let them harm other cities again!”
“Otherwise, we will be too ashamed to face Lady Harleen and Lord Dragon in the future!”
“Mm!” Corey Gentry and the others nodded simultaneously.
After chatting for a while, a fellow from Skydragon City hurriedly ran in.
“City Lord, we just received a call from the outpost, those people are already on their way to the City of Angels!”
