Chapter 2693: Azure Profound City

"Miss Sanaa, when you mentioned Heaven's Scourge before, were you referring to the invasion by external forces?" Stout asked.

"Sort of," Sanaa nodded.

"The reason it's called Heaven's Scourge is partly because we don't know much about our opponents, not even their level."

"On the other hand, human nature makes it difficult for us to unite internally, and there may even be those colluding with external forces."

"Under such circumstances, one mistake could lead to the fall of not just the ninth-tier star domain, but our entire universe could be at risk of extinction."

"Understood," Stout nodded.

"Miss Sanaa, are you and Miss Fairy the only ones dealing with these matters from the upper realm? Have the other strong members of the Heaven Alliance gone to the Shattered Realm?" Billy asked.

He knew that while Sanaa and Fairy were powerful, the Heaven Alliance surely had even stronger members he hadn't met yet.

"Yes," Sanaa nodded and added, "Your father and the old master are leading them in the Shattered Realm."

"The situation there is dire, so you need to gain the recognition of the Nine Dragons Cauldron quickly and then go help!"

"Understood," Billy nodded.

"Sanaa, can I ask another question?" Stout continued.

"You mentioned that the rise of the Heaven Alliance happened after Mr. White's era, but we heard that Mr. White was a figure from a thousand years ago. Has the Heaven Alliance only been around for less than a thousand years?"

"Who told you Mr. White was from a thousand years ago?" Sanaa replied.

"Isn't he?" Stout asked again.

"Of course not!" Sanaa said.

"When he was making waves in the ninth-tier star domain, Azure Profound City and Heavenly Divine Court were still insignificant sects in this star domain, probably not even in the top fifty!"

"Really?" Stout exclaimed, "That must have been millions of years ago!"

"Don't ask me how many years exactly; I don't know either," Sanaa replied again.

"Alright," Stout shrugged.

As they spoke, they arrived at a star domain millions of miles away.

Billy and Stout looked around and couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on their faces.

Rather than a single city, it was more like a group of cities!

In front of them floated nine cities without walls. The eight outer cities were similar in size, neither too big nor too small.

The eight cities formed a circle in the void, connected by semi-transparent bridges likely used for pedestrian traffic.

In the middle of these eight cities was another city, as large as Heavenly Realm City, connected to the outer cities by bridges as well.

"Sanaa, which city is Azure Profound City?" Stout asked Sanaa.

"All nine cities are!" Sanaa added, "Azure Profound City is also the largest city in the ninth-tier star domain!"

"Alright," Stout responded.

"Let's go straight to the main city in the center!" Sanaa said as she led them through the air.

Soon, they landed in an open space in the central city and walked along a main road.

The architectural style inside the city was similar to Heavenly Realm City, bustling with people and crowded shops on both sides of the streets.

After about half an hour, they arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion gate.

"Who are you? What do you want?" one of the guards at the gate asked sternly.

"Is your city lord here?" Sanaa asked, "Go inform him that people from Heaven Alliance are here to visit!"

"You are from Heaven Alliance?" The guard's eyes flashed with surprise. "The city lord is not in Azure Profound City at the moment. Please leave!"

"You are a grown man and can't even lie properly," Stout glanced at him. "I suggest you go inform him quickly, or you'll be in trouble..."

"Didn't you understand? The city lord is not here. If you don't leave..." Another guard interrupted him.

Before he could finish his sentence, Sanaa waved her hand, sending seven or eight guards flying.

However, Sanaa didn't kill them; they fell to the ground unconscious.

Then, the three of them stepped into the City Lord's Mansion courtyard.

"How dare you!" An old man's voice rang out as they walked in. "Who dares to cause trouble in Azure Profound City? Are you tired of living?"

As he spoke, a violent force surged toward them.

Stout stepped forward and threw a punch, causing both forces to explode simultaneously.

"You have some skill; no wonder you dare to be so presumptuous here!" An old man led a group of people from the back of the courtyard into the air.

The leader was an old man in a gray robe. Judging by his aura, he was a first-rank Heavenly Emperor Realm expert!

It was clear that he had only used six or seven-tenths of his strength earlier; otherwise, Stout's casual punch wouldn't have been able to block his attack.

The seven or eight people behind him were also strong, half of them late-stage Heavenly God Realm experts and the other half mid-stage Heavenly God Realm experts.

For such a group to come out casually showed that the top-ranked force in the ninth-tier star domain indeed had some strength!

"Who are you? Do you know where this is? How dare you come here..." A seventh-rank Heavenly God Realm expert looked at Billy and his companions sternly.

"Is your city lord here? Tell him that people from Heaven Alliance are here to visit!" Sanaa interrupted him.

"The city lord is not here. Leave!" The seventh-rank Heavenly God Realm expert glanced at Sanaa.

"Are you really unwilling to inform him?" Sanaa's tone grew colder.

"Didn't you understand?" The seventh-rank Heavenly God Realm expert continued, "If you're not gone in ten seconds, you'll bear the consequences!"

"Sanaa, should we kill a few first?" Stout asked Sanaa.

"Arrogant!" The seventh-rank Heavenly God Realm expert looked at Stout. "Try killing a few if you dare?"

"Grant his wish!" Sanaa replied calmly.

"Alright!" Stout stepped forward a few steps.

"Ignorant fool!" The seventh-rank Heavenly God Realm expert clearly didn't take Stout seriously. He flipped his wrist and formed a mark with full strength, striking at Stout.

With a loud bang, the opponent's body shot backward and fell dead; only his soul remained floating in mid-air.

"Um?!" Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

"You are courting death!" A ninth-rank Heavenly God Realm expert shouted angrily and attacked Stout.

Stout didn't retreat and met his attack with a punch.

With his bloodline power and Heaven Book Heart Method activated, Stout's cultivation could reach fourth-rank Heavenly God Realm. Combined with Sky Armor's support, one punch was enough to kill a ninth-rank Heavenly God Realm expert.

As expected, after their attacks collided, the ninth-rank Heavenly God Realm expert's body also fell dead.

Seeing this scene, another round of exclamations arose from the crowd.

"Do you really think Heaven Alliance can come here without facing resistance?" The first-rank Heavenly Emperor Realm expert frowned and prepared to attack.

"Stop!" At that moment, a man's voice rang out.

As his words fell, a group of people flew over from behind, and the pressure in the void instantly increased...
