At the same time.
Black Gold Domain.
A Middle-aged Man with a rugged face frowned deeply.
"The Divine Court?"
The person kneeling before him immediately nodded. "Indeed, they call themselves the Divine Court. I've also inquired about them; their strength is average, and their strongest member is only Grand Unity Golden Immortal."
The Black Gold Domain Lord sneered, his face full of disdain. "Truly arrogant, daring to use such a name so casually."
"Furthermore, did you even consult me before arbitrarily annexing several cities within my Black Gold Domain? You're utterly ignorant of the rules!"
"Yang Menghua, Past there and wipe out the people from the Divine Court. Capture the mastermind behind it and bring them to my Black Gold Domain. Let everyone know that anyone who wants to expand their power in my Black Gold Domain needs my approval."
There are nineteen scattered cities in the Black Gold Domain, and they all contribute resources to him every year. Now, the Divine Court has occupied those cities without saying a word.
This made him very unhappy.
The key issue is that, aside from the occupation, he also planted people in various cities who acted as surveillance agents, yet they were still killed. Isn't that the same as opposing him?
Upon hearing this, Yang Menghua's face immediately revealed a sinister smile.
The strongest person in the Divine Court was only Grand Unity Golden Immortal, while he was only at the Early Primordial Golden Immortal. Destroying the Divine Court would be no difficulty for him.
The Black Gold Domain had been peaceful for too long, and he was already itching to get his hands on it.
Rizhao City.
This place isn't too far from the Xuantian Realm, and the strongest person in the city is only at the Early Grand Unity Golden Immortal. With Su Yuanba's strength, he could easily kill the opponent.
The Myriad Star Realm is a place where people eat each other; it's better to kill them than to subdue them, as that will avoid future troubles.
The City Lord's Mansion.
Upon hearing the report from those below, Su Yuanba's face showed astonishment.
"That's truly... terrifying!"
This mere city has become so vast, it's practically indistinguishable from a world in itself.
In terms of size, this Rizhao City is almost larger than the Eastern Domain of the Xuantian Realm.
It also contains Array Formation connecting to the Black Gold Domain, as well as Spatial Formation connecting to the other three cities; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it an independent world.
"Go down."
As Su Yuanba's voice rang out, an Old Man below immediately trembled and hurriedly stood up in fear.
Su Yuanba led the people of the Divine Court to attack Rizhao City. Except for him, everyone else in the entire City Lord's Mansion had perished.
He had been living in constant fear these past few days, terrified that Su Yuanba would suddenly stab him.
In the Myriad Star Realm, there is an unspoken Rule: everything depends on strength. Just like in Rizhao City and Black Gold Domain, as long as you have the strength, you can directly replace the Domain Lord or City Lord.
However, the city needs to hand over a sufficient amount of resources to the Black Gold Domain every year, while the Black Gold Domain needs to hand over resources to the Northern Nether Empire.
Whether the Northern Nether Empire handed over power to other, more powerful forces remains unknown.
To put it bluntly...
It's like territory; whoever occupies it owns it.
However, everyone agrees on one thing: not to destroy anything within the territory.
Now.
Many people in Rizhao City were discussing the sudden appearance of the Divine Court.
"Gentlemen, have any of you heard of this Divine Court?"
"Isn't that obvious? Everyone has heard of the Divine Court, but this is the first time I've encountered someone using that name. They're truly courting death."
"The key point is that they even killed the Vice City Lord of the City Lord's Mansion. They're incredibly audacious; they're probably just a bunch of hotheads."
Sarcastic remarks rang out continuously, and it was clear that everyone looked down on this new Rizhao City.
If it were any other force, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths.
Using the name "Divine Court" would be asking for trouble, wouldn't it?
They don't even know their own worth.
The Supreme Divine Court was a terrifying force that once unified the Immortal Realm. Although its existence was brief and only Startling Swan glimpse, it still caused a great stir in the Immortal Realm.
When they learned that someone was using the name of the Divine Court, especially since it was only Grand Unity Golden Immortal, everyone felt that the Divine Court was simply insulting the strong.
As for the Vice City Lord was killed, he was not actually from Rizhao City, but rather someone the Black Gold Domain Lord had placed there to monitor the area.
Normal power struggles between factions do not allow for the killing of this person; otherwise, it would be another slap in the face to the Black Gold Domain Lord.
The people from the Divine Court can destroy the City Lord's Mansion without consequence, but if they kill the Vice City Lord, they'll be in deep trouble.
Just then, a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the Rizhao City, the oppressive feeling causing countless people's hearts to stop and their faces to be filled with panic.
Primordial Golden Immortal!
Several figures appeared in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a loud shout rang out from within Rizhao City.
"You people from the Divine Court, why aren't you coming out to pay your respects!"
The sound echoed throughout the entire Rizhao City. Those who were initially panicked calmed down, relieved that it wasn't some kind of Demonic Path cultivator.
Soon, someone revealed a cold smile.
"What I said? This Divine Court is absolutely finished. Daring to kill the Vice City Lord is like slapping the Black Gold Domain Lord in the face!"
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! A bunch of clueless idiots who came from who-knows-where. I heard that this Divine Court seems to have occupied other cities and even killed the Vice City Lord there."
"This Divine Court is truly ignorant. A few Grand Unity Golden Immortal dare to go this far. Do they really think they can contend with the Black Gold Domain? The Domain Lord is Late Primordial Golden Immortal, and he has two Primordial Golden Immortal under his command."
Whispers continued to rise, many with mocking expressions, as if watching a clown.
Choosing a name like "Divine Court" and killing the Vice City Lord has effectively blocked his own path to survival.
Now.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Su Yuanba was organizing information to understand the specific situation within Rizhao City.
Upon hearing that loud shout, Su Yuanba's expression changed.
Primordial Golden Immortal!
Back in the Immortal Realm, he was only at the Late Profound Immortal. Over the next ten thousand years, he broke through to the Early Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
With his Immortal Body, he could contend with Half-step Primordial Golden Immortal.
There is a qualitative difference between Primordial Golden Immortal and Half-step Primordial Golden Immortal; they are not even the same concept.
"Su Lishan, send a message to the Su Family!"
Su Yuanba called out with a serious expression. A Middle-aged Man standing beside him responded respectfully upon hearing this.
Then he activated the Message Jade Talisman, summoning the Su Family to come and provide support.
At the same time.
Su Yuanba walked out of the City Lord's Mansion. He looked up at the sky with a smile. There were three people standing high above Rizhao City.
One Early Primordial Golden Immortal, and two Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
"Greetings, Senior. May I ask what brings you to my Rizhao City?"
Su Yuanba's face was full of smiles.
He didn't know who the other person was, so he naturally needed to be humble.
The rule in the Myriad Star Realm is that whoever is stronger has the final say. He had never expected that the Black Gold Domain would add Vice City Lord.
Therefore, they were completely unaware that the Divine Court had already become enemies with the Black Gold Domain.
The moment Su Yuanba finished speaking, a terrifying attack descended upon them.
"Bang!"
Caught off guard, Su Yuanba was blasted into the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his chest caved in.
Yang Menghua's figure had appeared above the City Lord's Mansion at some unknown time, and he said coldly:
"I don't even understand the rules of the Black Gold Domain, yet I arbitrarily occupy cities."
Damn it!
