“Miss, who is she?” The elderly woman asked the lady.
“Sanaa!” The lady replied.
“Hmm?” The elderly woman was taken aback for a moment, then bowed to Sanaa. “So it’s Miss Sanaa. I apologize for my rudeness.”
Although she didn’t know Sanaa personally, she had certainly heard of her name.
“It’s nothing,” Sanaa smiled faintly at the elderly woman, then turned to the lady. “I have a small favor to ask.”
“When have you ever come to me for a small favor?” The lady glanced at Billy and his companions, her gaze lingering on Billy for a moment.
“This time it really is a small favor,” Sanaa said. “I need help finding some people.”
“I’m busy,” the lady responded bluntly.
“Really too busy?” Sanaa replied. “Then I’ll leave, but don’t regret it later.”
“What do you mean?” The lady frowned slightly.
“You should know him,” Sanaa pointed at Billy.
“The new owner of the Nine Dragons Cauldron, Billy,” the lady responded.
“He not only has the Nine Dragons Cauldron but also many other treasures,” Sanaa continued.
“And what does that have to do with me?” The lady responded indifferently.
“What do you think?” Sanaa turned to Billy. “Show her your blade.”
“Blade?” Billy was puzzled but handed the fury blade to the lady.
“What’s so special about this blade?” The lady examined it.
“I don’t know exactly, but I do know it can cut through Millennium Black Iron and break Demonic Clan seals,” Sanaa replied.
“Really?!” The lady’s pupils contracted slightly. “You mean this blade can…”
“I can’t guarantee success, but it’s worth a try,” Sanaa responded.
“Don’t lie to me,” the lady took a deep breath and returned the blade to Billy. “Who are you looking for?”
“His women,” Sanaa replied, waving her hand as images of Harleen and three others appeared in mid-air.
“I’ll try,” the lady said, her eyes narrowing as she waved her hand.
A massive shadow of an Eight Trigrams Diagram appeared in mid-air, slowly rotating. As its speed increased, beams of light shot up into the sky, enveloping the images of Harleen and the others.
Soon, the sky was filled with dark clouds and strong winds, as if a storm was approaching. This process lasted about fifteen minutes before the sky gradually calmed and the Eight Trigrams Diagram stopped rotating.
A few minutes later, the diagram disappeared, and the lady spat out a mouthful of blood, retreating several steps with a pale face.
“What happened?” Sanaa frowned slightly.
“Did they offend someone powerful?” The lady asked after catching her breath.
“What do you mean?” Billy asked.
“Someone powerful is blocking my tracking of them. The person who did this is very skilled,” the lady replied.
“Can you determine their location now?” Billy pressed.
“Blackrock City,” the lady answered.
“Blackrock City?” Billy was puzzled. “Where is that?”
“One of the three core cities in the lower realms of the seventh-tier star domain, on par with Skyreach City and Whitecloud City,” Sanaa explained. She then turned to the lady. “Don’t tell me they’re at Rainbow Manor?”
“Congratulations, you guessed right,” the lady replied.
“Really?” Sanaa frowned slightly. “They must have a death wish.”
She paused and then said to the lady, “We’ll go ahead. After this is over, I’ll bring him back to see you.”
“Alright,” the lady nodded.
Sanaa then led Billy and his companions away.
“Miss Sanaa, what’s Rainbow Manor?” Stout asked on the way.
“It’s like Whitecloud Manor, a top-tier power in the seventh-tier star domain, with strength comparable to Whitecloud Manor,” Sanaa replied.
“And their character?” Stout asked again.
“If you don’t like any of them, feel free to kill them,” Sanaa replied. She then added, “Miss Sanaa, who was that girl named Charity? Is she good or bad? What’s her level of cultivation? Is she very powerful?”
“Why do you have so many questions!” Sanaa glared at him.
“I’m just curious!” Stout grinned and continued, “And why did you ask Boss to show her his blade?”
“If you ask another question, I’ll hit you,” Sanaa glared at him again.
Billy and Casey also wanted to know more about the lady but quickly shut their mouths after hearing Sanaa’s words.
“After we find your wife, help Charity with a small task as a favor,” Sanaa said to Billy.
“Alright,” Billy nodded.
Soon, they entered a teleportation channel. A day later, they arrived outside the eastern suburbs of Blackrock City.
Blackrock City was as large as Whitecloud City, with similar planning and architecture.
“Miss Sanaa, where are we going now?” Casey asked after they entered the city.
“Straight to Rainbow Manor,” Sanaa replied.
“Straight there?” Casey was surprised. “We can’t be sure they took them. Shouldn’t we…”
“The area within a million kilometers around Blackrock City is basically Rainbow Manor’s territory. Anything unusual happening here, they would definitely know about it even if they’re not involved,” Sanaa explained.
“Understood,” Casey nodded after a moment’s thought.
Following Sanaa’s lead, they headed towards Rainbow Manor. Two quarters later, they arrived at the manor’s entrance in the southern part of Blackrock City.
Rainbow Manor was indeed a giant in Blackrock City. Judging by its size alone, it seemed like half of the southern part of the city belonged to it.
“Who are you? What do you want?” The guards at the entrance asked.
“Call your master out,” Sanaa said.
“You think this is your home? You can’t just demand our master come out,” one guard sneered at Sanaa. “Don’t make trouble for yourself. Leave before I get angry!”
“Stout, clear the way!” Sanaa ordered.
“Got it!” Stout replied and punched out, sending eight guards flying and knocking them unconscious upon landing.
The four then stepped into the manor. Hearing the commotion, hundreds of people rushed out from different directions and surrounded them.
“Who are you to cause trouble here? Do you have a death wish?” An elder asked sternly. Given Rainbow Manor’s status in the seventh-tier star domain, such incidents were rare.
“We need to ask your master something. If you want to live, call him out now!” Stout shouted at the elder.
“Arrogant! You’re courting death!” Another man yelled and charged at Stout, only to be sent flying by Stout’s punch and dying upon impact with the ground.
“Sorry, I hit too hard,” Stout said looking at the man’s corpse.
