Above Heaven Gate City, a group of people looked down at the Heaven Gate Branch.
They were Su Bai, the First Elder, Zhuge Feng, Yun Xuan, and more than twenty others.
"Two hundred and eighty-nine Golden Immortals, and one at the Golden Immortal Peak. Is a mere branch guarding the Ninth Layer really this powerful...?" Zhuge Feng marveled.
Yun Xuan's expression was grave. "Heaven Gate is a supreme power. It rules over the entire Ninth Heaven Realm. You could almost call it this realm's master!"
"Heh. So what if it's powerful?"
"After everything we've been through, what great enemy haven't we faced?"
"It's just Heaven Gate. We'll overturn it!"
Xiao Yan chuckled, remembering the days when he had been young, bold, and full of swagger.
The pressure Heaven Gate put on the Heavenly Dao Sect was nothing compared to what the Immortal Alliance had once brought to bear!
Boom!
Su Hu struck first, slamming his sword into Heaven Gate City's formation and throwing it into turmoil.
Inside Heaven Gate City's great hall, Heaven Gate's experts finally realized what was happening.
The people outside had not come to pay Realm Tax. They had come to make trouble!
A Heaven Gate steward bowed as he reported the situation outside the city.
"Initial estimates put the enemy at around one hundred million, all True Immortals or higher. Several tens of thousands have Profound Immortal auras, and roughly twenty... are Golden Immortals."
"Oh? Only twenty-odd Golden Immortals?" A red-haired Golden Immortal elder nearly spat out his immortal wine, then burst out laughing.
"I thought they'd brought a real army. Is that all they've got?"
"The Ninth Layer's trash really is useless. They scraped together a hundred million people and managed only twenty-odd Golden Immortals?"
"I doubt even a handful have reached Mid-stage Golden Immortal."
