The three were shocked because, for countless years, there had been very few true Kun Realm experts in the entire seventh-tier star domain.
“Rumor has it that she is the first in nearly ten thousand years in this star domain. It seems the rumors are true!” said another gray-robed elder.
“High Priest, she is unlikely to join us in The Hallowed Court!” the old woman asked.
“Should we inform the Hall Lord and take action tonight to eliminate her? Otherwise, there might be changes tomorrow!”
“Tonight is not suitable for causing too much commotion!” Alfonso Ponce thought for a moment and waved his hand. “Let’s go back and discuss tomorrow’s arrangements with the Hall Lord first.”
“Understood!” The three nodded simultaneously.
Shortly after the three left, Billy returned to the inn.
He briefly described what had happened to everyone.
“Heaven’s Tea House people were captured by them?” Everyone was stunned after hearing Billy’s words.
“If we had known, we should have kept those four people and asked where they took them!” Soul Chaser added.
“Those four wouldn’t have been easy to keep. That High Priest must be very powerful!” Judge looked at Sanaa and asked, “Miss Sanaa, can you take him down?”
“Yes,” Sanaa replied.
“But if I had attacked him earlier, the half-step Condensed Kun Realm person beside him would have attacked you, and you wouldn’t have been able to handle it.”
“Alright,” Judge replied.
Nothing special happened that night.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Billy and the group flew towards the western outskirts of Decadent City, with White Feather among them.
In about fifteen minutes, they landed on a large open space.
Looking around, it was already crowded and bustling. There were not only over twenty participating teams but also a large number of onlookers.
The site was divided into three areas. In the center was a temporary circular stage with a diameter of about four to five hundred meters.
Around the stage were twenty-five small VIP platforms, each accommodating forty to fifty people.
Behind these platforms was a hundred-meter-wide circular passage, outside of which was a tiered audience area that could hold about forty to fifty thousand people.
Sanaa handed an invitation to a staff member, who then led them to one of the small platforms.
People on nearby platforms nodded and greeted Sanaa upon seeing her.
Many glanced at Billy with surprise on their faces, evidently not expecting him to be there.
“Miss Sanaa, do you know all these people?” Judge asked Sanaa.
“Do you think I’m the social butterfly of the seventh-tier star domain, knowing everyone?” Sanaa replied.
Judge was speechless.
“Miss Sanaa, are there any Condensed Kun Realm experts here?” Amber asked.
“No,” Sanaa shook her head.
“In the seventh-tier star domain, only Heaven Alliance and The Hallowed Court have Condensed Kun Realm experts. Other forces at most have half-step Condensed Kun Realm experts.”
“And even half-step Condensed Kun Realm experts are rare. Among the people here, only four leaders of top-tier forces are half-step Condensed Kun Realm. The strongest others are ninth-rank Supreme Source Realm.”
“Understood,” Amber nodded.
“Miss Sanaa, what about you?” Stout asked curiously. “What was your cultivation level at your peak?”
“It’s been too long; I’ve forgotten,” Sanaa shrugged.
“Miss Sanaa, long time no see. I hope you’ve been well!” At this moment, a white-haired elder approached and bowed to Sanaa.
“Elder Jordan, long time no see!” Sanaa responded. “Didn’t your sect master come?”
“The sect master is in seclusion, so he sent me to attend,” replied Jordan Flynn, the white-haired elder.
After a brief pause, he continued, “Miss Sanaa, The Hallowed Court gathering so many people here must have ulterior motives.”
“What do you think?” Sanaa smiled faintly.
“The Hallowed Court has been driven out of Boundary River by Heaven Alliance for so many years. Now that they’re back in this star domain, they won’t be content with just a small corner,” Jordan Flynn replied.
“They’ve gathered everyone here under the pretext of discussing governance. They probably want to recruit us.”
“What are your plans?” Sanaa asked.
“I’ve discussed with other sects and hope Miss Sanaa can step forward,” Jordan Flynn paused before continuing.
“Heaven Alliance no longer exists. If someone must maintain order in this star domain, Miss Sanaa is undoubtedly the best candidate…”
“Sorry to keep everyone waiting!” A voice amplified by true energy interrupted him.
A group of twenty to thirty people descended from the sky and landed on the central stage.
Leading them was a white-robed man who appeared to be in his fifties, though his actual age was unknown. He had handsome features, a robust build, and a faint smile on his face with no aura emanating from him.
Alfonso Ponce followed closely behind him, along with four red-robed elders. Behind them were several gray-robed men and women, all expressionless with sharp auras.
“Miss Sanaa, we’ll talk later!” Jordan Flynn said to Sanaa before returning to his seat.
“Miss Sanaa, is that The Hallowed Court Hall Lord?” White Tiger pointed at the white-robed man on stage.
“Yes,” Sanaa nodded.
“Can you sense his cultivation level?” White Tiger asked.
“No,” Sanaa shook her head. “He’s concealing his aura.”
“Alright,” White Tiger paused before continuing. “Are those four behind Alfonso Ponce all High Priests of The Hallowed Court?”
“There is only one High Priest,” Jennifer smiled faintly. “Those four are priests of The Hallowed Court, second only to Alfonso Ponce.”
“Jennifer, can you sense their cultivation levels?” Judge asked.
“I can tell they’re very strong,” Jennifer replied.
“They’re all above me. Two are ninth-rank Supreme Source Realm, one is half-step Condensed Kun Realm, and I can’t determine the last one’s level.”
“False Condensed Kun Realm,” Sanaa added. “Their strength is second only to Alfonso Ponce.”
“So exaggerated?” Judge and others exclaimed simultaneously.
“It seems their Hall Lord is at least second-rank Condensed Kun Realm!” Vermilion Bird frowned slightly.
“But if The Hallowed Court has such strength, why did their war with Heaven Alliance last so long?”
“Heaven Alliance’s strongest should be Chaz Roth, right? Isn’t he just False Condensed Kun Realm?”
Billy and others thought of this question too and looked at Sanaa.
“Calvin Ponce has been intermittently in seclusion for the past six months and only recently came out officially,” Sanaa explained.
“It’s because he came out that The Hallowed Court dared to gather everyone. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have had the courage!”
“Moreover, Heaven Alliance’s strongest wasn’t Chaz Roth but the previous leader of Heaven Alliance, who was first-rank Condensed Kun Realm.”
“It’s said he was killed by Alfonso Ponce and those four priests together!”
Calvin Ponce was naturally The Hallowed Court Hall Lord!
Everyone nodded in response.
Their faces showed a trace of seriousness simultaneously.
The strength of The Hallowed Court was terrifyingly beyond expectations. Today’s matter would be difficult to resolve…
