“They… they were captured by The Hallowed Court…” the man struggled to speak.
“When The Hallowed Court arrived in Decadent City, they immediately sought out Heaven’s Tea House and demanded its submission…”
“But the sect master and the others refused… A conflict broke out… Heaven’s Tea House was defeated…”
“The sect master, several elders, and Cheyanne were all captured. The rest of Heaven’s Tea House fled Decadent City…”
“Where were they taken?” Billy frowned slightly.
He had already guessed this.
Otherwise, knowing Cheyanne Stark, if nothing had happened, she would have contacted him by now.
He just didn’t expect that with Heaven’s Tea House’s strength, their top fighters would be completely overwhelmed by The Hallowed Court!
“I don’t know…” the man spoke again.
“Kill him!” Billy waved his hand.
“No… spare me…” the man shouted loudly.
Before he could finish, there was a crisp sound from his neck, and he fell from mid-air.
Soon, Dark Puppet returned through the air, having devoured the soul of the half-step Condensed Kun Realm man.
After Purple Spirit and Dark Puppet entered the Nine Dragons Cauldron Space, Billy flew back to Decadent City.
Just after Billy left the small inn, Harleen and the others felt a powerful presence sweeping in from the sky.
The entire courtyard was enveloped in a terrifying pressure, making everyone feel suffocated.
“Who is causing trouble now?” Judge looked up at the sky with a frown.
“Who else but The Hallowed Court!” Soul Chaser replied.
As they spoke, four figures appeared in the sky above the courtyard, three men and one woman, led by an elder in a red robe.
“The Hallowed Court High Priest Alfonso Ponce requests to see Miss Sanaa. Please grant us an audience!” The red-robed elder bowed towards the courtyard below.
“High Priest? What nonsense?” Stout couldn’t help but say.
“The High Priest’s status in The Hallowed Court is second only to the Hall Lord!” Sanaa explained. “His skills should also be second only to their Hall Lord!”
After speaking, she turned to Jennifer. “Jennifer, stay here and watch over everyone. Don’t come up!”
With that, she flew into the air.
“Miss Sanaa, be careful!” everyone called out simultaneously.
“It’s fine!” Sanaa replied.
Soon, she approached the four figures. “What do you want?”
“Alfonso Ponce greets Miss Sanaa!” The red-haired elder bowed again.
“Get to the point. What do you want?” Sanaa responded.
“There’s nothing special. We just heard that Miss Sanaa arrived in Decadent City, so I came to visit!” Alfonso Ponce said with a smile.
“Now that you’ve visited, if there’s nothing else, please leave!” Sanaa waved her hand and turned to return to the inn.
“Miss Sanaa, please wait!” Alfonso Ponce’s eyes flashed with displeasure.
“My patience is limited. You’d better not beat around the bush!” Sanaa glanced at him coldly.
“Miss Sanaa, it’s rude to treat a High Priest who came specifically to visit you this way,” another black-robed elder frowned slightly.
“And then?” Sanaa looked at him coldly.
“Miss Sanaa, please calm down!” Alfonso Ponce said. “The Hallowed Court hasn’t set foot in this star domain for many years. We are newcomers here, so we came to pay our respects to Miss Sanaa.”
“On the other hand, we heard that Miss Sanaa has great influence in this star domain. Our Hall Lord wishes to meet with you…”
“Go back and tell your Hall Lord that I have nothing to discuss with him!” Sanaa interrupted him.
“Also, convey a message for me: human greed is insatiable and can lead to trouble. Learn to be content, or Heaven Alliance will be your cautionary tale.”
With that, she turned and left without looking back.
“How rude!” The black-robed elder frowned again. “I heard you’re the number one in this star domain. I came to challenge you!”
He raised his hand and formed a seal, hurling it towards Sanaa.
His cultivation was at ninth-rank Supreme Source Realm!
“Scram!” Sanaa didn’t even turn her head, casually swiping her palm backward.
It seemed like a casual strike but contained immense power. The force shattered the void and struck like thunder.
Their attacks collided with a deafening boom, collapsing the void instantly.
The black-robed elder was sent flying several kilometers away, blood trailing in mid-air.
Barely stabilizing himself, his face showed extreme shock.
Even though he had expected Sanaa to be strong, he hadn’t imagined she could defeat him with such ease!
Not only was he shocked, but Alfonso Ponce and the other two were equally astonished.
“You came here today mainly to test my strength, right?” Sanaa continued.
“So, are you satisfied?”
She had guessed their intention as soon as they appeared.
To achieve their goal of dominating the seventh-tier star domain, The Hallowed Court had to either recruit or eliminate her. Hence, they needed to gauge her strength first.
“Miss Sanaa, may I speak frankly?” Alfonso Ponce paused before speaking.
“I know you came to Decadent City to support Billy, but he killed our Young Lord. He must die. If you insist on protecting him…”
“You are fools!” Sanaa interrupted again. “Do you really think he needs my support? Do you even know him?”
As she spoke, she felt a sense of emotion.
A few months ago, she might have been able to support Billy. Back then, Billy was indeed somewhat weak in front of true experts.
But times had changed. Billy’s growth rate was astonishing and terrifying!
Today, even though her power had recovered nearly seventy percent, she wasn’t confident she could defeat Billy without using the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass!
“Also, don’t be so hypocritical. If you want Heaven Book and Nine Dragons Cauldron, just say it. Don’t use your Young Lord as an excuse!” Sanaa continued.
“I was also involved in killing your Young Lord. If you want revenge, you can act now!”
“Miss Sanaa is determined to protect him?” Alfonso Ponce frowned slightly.
“Don’t you understand my words?” Sanaa responded coldly.
“He doesn’t need my support at all. If you insist on looking for trouble, be prepared to reap what you sow!”
“Haha, you overestimate him!” Alfonso Ponce laughed coldly.
“Miss Sanaa will soon see how much trouble he can cause without you around!”
“So you deliberately lured him out of the city!” Sanaa’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Congratulations then!”
“What do you mean?” Alfonso Ponce was puzzled.
“Nothing!” Sanaa waved her hand. “Goodbye!”
With that, she descended back into the courtyard of the inn.
Meanwhile, Alfonso Ponce and his three companions flew towards the west of the city.
“High Priest, can you determine her cultivation level?” the old woman asked.
“I’m not sure. Her aura fluctuates; she might be injured,” Alfonso Ponce mused.
“But based on my estimation, she is definitely at Condensed Kun Realm!”
“So strong?” The old woman was shocked. “Is it False Condensed Kun Realm or…”
“The true Condensed Kun Realm!” Alfonso Ponce interrupted her.
The three of them gasped…
