“The Hallowed Court!” Cheyanne Stark spoke again.
“The Hallowed Court?” White Tiger was puzzled and asked, “What’s their background?”
“A very significant one!” Cheyanne Stark continued, “Many, many years ago, the ruler of the seventh-tier star domain was not the Heaven Alliance, but the Hallowed Court!”
“At that time, the Heaven Alliance didn’t exist in the seventh-tier star domain. They were just a fledgling group formed by several forces secretly opposing the Hallowed Court.”
“But due to the vast difference in power, the Heaven Alliance could only engage in covert actions occasionally.”
“Cheyanne, let me interrupt!” White Tiger said, “Isn’t the Heaven Alliance ancient?”
Billy and the others were also puzzled by this question.
“No!” Cheyanne Stark shook her head, “At least the Heaven Alliance in the seventh and eighth-tier star domains was formed later!”
“The Heaven Alliance in the seventh-tier star domain has only existed for tens of thousands of years. The Heaven Alliance in the eighth-tier star domain might be older, but it’s not ancient.”
“As for when the Heaven Alliance in the ninth-tier star domain was formed, I don’t know!”
“Actually, only the Heaven Alliance in the ninth-tier star domain can be considered the true Heaven Alliance!”
“Alright!” Everyone nodded.
“Cheyanne, continue!” White Tiger urged, “What happened next?”
“Later, the strongest member of the Hallowed Court had an accident during cultivation and perished, causing a significant decline in their power,” Cheyanne Stark explained.
“From then on, the Heaven Alliance slowly rose and gradually replaced the Hallowed Court as the new ruler of the seventh-tier star domain.”
“And today, after tens of thousands of years, the Hallowed Court has returned strongly, clearly aiming to reclaim dominion over the seventh-tier star domain!”
“I see!” Everyone nodded again.
Hearing this, everyone understood why the Heaven Alliance wasn’t causing trouble in the Lower Realm-they had bigger problems!
If what Cheyanne Stark said was true, then the Heaven Alliance would have a tough time ahead!
“Cheyanne, do you know which is stronger now, the Hallowed Court or the Heaven Alliance?” Ivy asked.
“I’m not sure!” Cheyanne Stark shook her head, “It’s hard to know each side’s trump cards from outside!”
After speaking, she seemed to remember something and turned to Billy, “Mr. Billy, I heard you’re familiar with Miss Sanaa from Universe Palace?”
“Miss Sanaa is our benefactor!” Billy paused and then asked, “Cheyanne, do you know anything about Universe Palace?”
“I know a bit!” Cheyanne Stark nodded.
“Miss Sanaa’s grandfather, the old master of Universe Palace, is nearing the end of his life, and Universe Palace is in turmoil.”
“The sect is divided into two factions: one led by Miss Sanaa’s father and the other by her grandfather’s brother.”
“Cheyanne, do you know why Miss Sanaa went to The Wilderness?” Amber asked.
“For a very mundane reason-she’s avoiding an arranged marriage!” Cheyanne Stark replied.
“The young master of Heaven Alliance wants to marry her, but she doesn’t like him, so she ran away!”
“Is there another reason why the young master of Heaven Alliance wants to marry her?” Harleen asked.
“Yes!” Cheyanne Stark nodded.
“In the entire seventh-tier star domain, besides the Hallowed Court, only Universe Palace has enough power to threaten Heaven Alliance. So they want to bring Universe Palace under their control through marriage.”
“Cheyanne, do you know what’s happening with Universe Palace now?” Ivy asked.
“You don’t need to worry too much. The Heaven Alliance is currently focused on dealing with the Hallowed Court and has no time for Universe Palace,” Cheyanne Stark explained.
“Without pressure from Heaven Alliance, Universe Palace’s main issue is internal strife. With Miss Sanaa and her father’s strength, they should be safe for now.”
“Thank you, Cheyanne!” Everyone nodded and felt slightly relieved.
“Cheyanne, have you heard of the Muir family?” Billy pondered for a moment before asking.
“The Muir family?” Cheyanne Stark paused and asked, “Do you mean the Muir family from Whisperwind Vale?”
“Whisperwind Vale?” Billy was confused; it was his first time hearing this name.
“I’m not sure if it’s Whisperwind Vale’s Muir family. I only know that their patriarch is Gideon Muir and their eldest daughter is Miss Charity.”
“That’s them!” Cheyanne Stark continued, “The Heaven Alliance recruited many allies to fight against the Hallowed Court recently, including Whisperwind Vale!”
“I heard Miss Charity was captured by Heaven Alliance?” Judge asked.
“They captured her to force Whisperwind Vale to help them!” Cheyanne Stark replied.
“I see!” Casey paused and then asked, “Do you know where they took Miss Charity?”
“I’m not sure!” Cheyanne Stark shook her head.
“Cheyanne, did Heaven Alliance approach your Heaven’s Tea House?” Amber asked.
“They did!” Cheyanne Stark replied, “But we have no interest in their conflict with the Hallowed Court, so we refused.”
“They didn’t force you?” Judge asked.
“They don’t have the energy for that!” Cheyanne Stark smiled faintly.
“To take down Heaven’s Tea House would cost them greatly-it’s not worth it. It’s like how they haven’t put much effort into dealing with Universe Palace.”
“I understand!” Everyone nodded.
“Cheyanne, do you know where Heaven Alliance and Universe Palace’s main bases are?” Harleen asked again.
“I don’t know!” Cheyanne Stark shook her head.
“But Heaven Alliance has a public branch in the Upper Realm that serves as their second headquarters. If you want to rescue Miss Charity, you can try there.”
“Thank you for telling us!” Billy said.
“Alright!” Cheyanne Stark said before sending a stream of information into Billy’s mind.
“Thank you!” Billy replied.
“Mr. Billy, that branch of Heaven Alliance is not easy to deal with. If you go there directly, it might be difficult,” Cheyanne Stark warned again.
“If you’re determined to go, I can send someone to accompany you…”
“Thank you for your kindness, but we won’t trouble you with this matter,” Billy interrupted her.
“But…” Cheyanne Stark started again.
“It’s alright. I’m just going to take a look; I don’t necessarily have to confront them,” Billy smiled.
After chatting a bit more, Cheyanne Stark and the gray-robed elder took their leave.
Billy then had White Feather emerge from Nine Dragons Cauldron and took Harleen on White Feather’s back while everyone else entered Nine Dragons Cauldron.
Soon after, White Feather flapped its wings and flew swiftly towards Heaven Alliance’s branch.
For Billy, even though he knew Heaven Alliance was formidable, he couldn’t ignore Miss Charity’s kindness towards him.
Moreover, from another perspective, weakening Heaven Alliance would also relieve some pressure on Universe Palace.
“Billy, Jennifer should be coming out soon?” Harleen asked as they traveled.
“Yes!” Billy nodded. “It should be within these few days!”
He had checked on Jennifer’s condition inside Nine Dragons Cauldron earlier; she should be out soon.
“How are her injuries?” Harleen continued to ask.
“Her dantian is almost healed, but her soul still needs some time. However, she’s much better than before,” Billy replied. “She should regain a lot of her strength this time.”
“That’s good!” Harleen responded. “Jennifer has had it rough; her entire family was wiped out…”
Before she could finish speaking, an overwhelming aura swept over them from the horizon, filling the void with immense pressure.
Soon after, five or six figures appeared in their sight, led by an old man with red hair…
