Chapter 1924: The Battle Begins
“Yes!” Elder Mikhi nodded.
“In less than a month, the Sacred Hall Sect has lost over a dozen Heaven Dao Realm experts to that young man. Naturally, they won’t underestimate him anymore!”
“Send a message back and have Lord Aiden personally lead a team to Great Blue City!” The woman in plain clothes thought for a moment before continuing.
“We must not let the Sacred Hall Sect get ahead of us, or we’ll be at a severe disadvantage!”
“Understood!” Elder Mikhi nodded and then asked, “Should we tell Lord Aiden to capture that young man and bring him back to the Mysterious Hall Sect?”
“No need!” The woman in plain clothes shook her head.
“Just inform Lord Aiden that his task is to prevent the Sacred Hall Sect from obtaining the map of the City of the Dead and the method to break the array!”
“Unless absolutely necessary, avoid direct conflict with Billy!”
“Are you worried?” Elder Mikhi was slightly taken aback.
“I can’t say for sure!” The woman in plain clothes shook her head again. “But I have a vague feeling that he might have other hidden cards!”
“Are you referring to that Sacred Object within his body?” Elder Mikhi asked.
“I don’t know!” The woman in plain clothes shook her head once more. “I just feel that now is not the best time for a direct confrontation with him!”
“Understood!” Elder Mikhi nodded and took out a sound transmission stone to send a message.
That afternoon, Billy and his group appeared in a mountainous area on the eastern outskirts of Great Blue City.
“Who are you?” As soon as they emerged from the teleportation portal, they were confronted by over twenty men dressed in Domain Lord’s Mansion attire.
Before they could finish speaking, the leader seemed to recognize Natasha Sutton.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“East Domain King, is that you?” The man’s brows furrowed slightly. “Without our emperor’s consent, what are you doing bringing so many people to Great Blue City…”
Before he could finish, Casey flipped his wrist, and a blade light slashed straight at him.
The man, only at third-rank Perceiving Dao Realm, didn’t expect Casey to attack so suddenly and was split in two by the blade light before he could react.
“Bastard, you’re courting death!” The others were momentarily stunned before shouting in anger.
Two of them quickly took out sound transmission stones.
“Kill them!” Natasha Sutton ordered coldly.
As soon as she spoke, blood mist erupted on the scene. In just a few blinks of an eye, over twenty people were reduced to nothing but remnants.
The ones who acted were naturally the two Heaven Dao Realm experts from Phoenix City.
After dealing with these people, the group flew into the air.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a massive city came into view.
Great Blue City, the largest city in the Great Blue Star Domain, bar none!
Even though Billy and his group had been mentally prepared, they were still shocked by the city’s scale. It was at least twice the size of Radiant Sky City, resembling a giant beast lying in the vast starry sky.
Not only was its scale beyond imagination, but the height of its walls was also astonishing-estimated to be at least a hundred zhang high. One could only wonder how much manpower and resources were spent building these walls.
“Who dares to trespass into Great Blue City? Are you tired of living?”
As Billy and his group marveled at the sight, an old man’s voice reached their ears.
Immediately afterward, dozens of figures flew towards them from ahead, exuding a thick aura of pressure.
Leading them was a slender man in white robes with a goatee, possessing fifth-rank Heaven Dao Realm cultivation!
Following him were two other elderly men, both quite formidable!
“George Bennett, long time no see!” As they approached, Poppy greeted him indifferently.
“It’s you?” George Bennett’s brows furrowed.
As he spoke, he scanned the three to four hundred people present, his face growing darker.
Then he looked at Natasha Sutton and said solemnly, “East Domain King, what brings you to Great Blue City with such a large entourage? Have you forgotten our emperor’s decree? Without his consent, you are not allowed to step into Great Blue City…”
“George Bennett, if I remember correctly, it was you who brought my mother from East Domain to Great Blue City back then?” Natasha Sutton interrupted him.
“East Domain King, didn’t you hear what George said? Without our emperor’s permission, you are not allowed to step into Great Blue City!” Another elder from their side spoke sternly.
“What are your intentions by bringing so many people here today?”
“Natasha, stop wasting words with them. Let’s just kill them,” Stout suggested to Natasha Sutton.
“How dare you! What did you just say? If you have the guts…” One of their men shouted angrily at Stout.
Stout didn’t respond verbally; instead, he threw a punch directly at him.
Mysterious Polar Fist!
The violent fist force stirred up a whirlwind as it surged forward like thunder.
The man on the opposing side was at eighth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm and naturally didn’t take Stout seriously. He raised his hand to meet the attack with a twisted expression.
With a muffled sound, the man was sent flying three to four hundred meters as if hit by a beast.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura instantly weakening by more than half. His face was full of disbelief.
“Hmm?!” Seeing this scene, George Bennett and his group were momentarily stunned.
“East Domain King, you…” George Bennett began angrily after a brief pause.
“Poppy, attack!” Natasha Sutton commanded coldly.
Before she finished speaking, Poppy had already dashed forward, her hands forming an intricate pattern as she launched an attack.
“You really are courting death!” George Bennett roared angrily once more as he charged towards Poppy’s assault.
“Kill!” Another fifth-rank Heaven Dao Realm elder from Phoenix City raised his hand and charged at their fifth-rank Heaven Dao Realm expert.
With his move, seventy to eighty people from Phoenix City followed suit.
The next moment, both sides were locked in fierce combat.
“Boss, should we join in?” Azure Dragon asked Billy.
“You all stay here; do not engage!” Billy shook his head in response.
He quickly assessed their opponents. Apart from five or six Heaven Dao Realm experts, the rest were below Perceiving Dao Realm and couldn’t possibly match Phoenix City’s forces.
“White Feather, he’s yours!” Billy pointed at their fifth-rank Heaven Dao Realm expert before charging towards Poppy’s battle zone with Bloodshadow Fury Blade in hand.
White Feather let out a cry and flapped its wings as it flew out.
A loud noise followed as Poppy and George Bennett clashed. Both were sent flying a thousand meters away, their auras slightly disordered.
“Poppy, finish this quickly!”
Before George Bennett could stabilize himself, Billy’s voice rang out. At the same time, a blade light tore through the void and flashed rapidly towards him.
Heavenly Fury Slash!
“Hmm?” George Bennett frowned. Unable to dodge in time, he raised his hand to unleash a wave of energy to counter it.
Both attacks exploded simultaneously. George Bennett was sent flying several hundred meters back again, spitting out blood.
With his bloodline power activated, Billy’s Heavenly Fury Slash could rival fourth-rank Heaven Dao Realm. George Bennett’s hasty counterattack was naturally inferior.
Poppy understood Billy’s intention-to resolve the battle before their main forces arrived. So as soon as Billy’s slash landed, she followed up immediately.
She then unleashed her full strength to form a hundred-zhang long whip that lashed towards George Bennett with a piercing sound that tore through the void, leaving a dark crack in its wake.
Sensing the power of this move, George Bennett frowned tightly. He wanted to dodge but found all his escape routes blocked by the powerful attack.
With no other choice, he could only defend by attacking. He formed a large blade with Chi power and slashed towards the whip.
