"Humph, now that you can't wait to get yourselves killed, I'll fulfill your wish," the queen said coldly.
Anger coursed through her when she heard the disrespectful remarks the soldiers guarding the gates made about her.
Noticing that they were closing in on Austin and her, she couldn't control her anger anymore. With a stern face, she released
terrifyingly strong energy.
"Bang!"
A loud sound echoed as the energy wave spread outward.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The soldiers charging at the queen turned into a bloody mist.
Over a hundred soldiers died on the spot.
‘What's happening?’
The cultivators who were waiting in line to enter the city shuddered at the sight. Several faint-hearted ones passed out from sheer
fear.
They were taken aback by Austin's and the queen's battle forces.
Austin's strength had already shocked them. But now, they witnessed the queen's power. They were surprised that the woman
seemed stronger than Austin.
'This guy beat a dozen soldiers to a pulp in a heartbeat.
However, the woman is more powerful than him. She hadn't even lifted a finger. Just by releasing smysterious energy, she had
turned more than a hundred soldiers into a bloody fog, ' they surmised.
Dead silence filled the area after the confrontation.
No one dared to make a sound.
Five to six soldiers who hadn't joined the battle were petrified. Terror reflected in their eyes as they gaped at the queen. Their
complexion paled, and their teeth chattered.
"You! Cover here."
Austin waved at the remaining soldiers who seemed frozen at the gates.
These soldiers’ legs had turned limp from fear. Panicked, they fell to their knees. "Sir... Please don't kill me.

| was just doing my job.
Please spare my life." Each of the soldiers begged as they kowtowed before Austin.
"I have several questions for you. If you answer them honestly, | will not kill you,"
Austin said.
Upon hearing this, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief before pulling themselves to their feet. Hesitant and scared, they glanced
at each other before approaching Austin.
However, their teeth continued to chatter as they lined up in front of Austin.
"Have you seen these people before? Think hard," Austin questioned.
He took out several portraits and handed them to the soldiers.
These were pictures of Ivy, Sue, Evan, Mike, and Herbert.
Earlier, Austin had drawn these pictures as he thought they would be helpful in his search for his relatives and friends. Each time
he was about to enter a city, Austin would inquire about their whereabouts from the soldiers who guarded the gates.
This was why Austin had landed in front of the gates.
But he hadn't expected that he and the queen would be in a fight with the soldiers.
The frightened soldiers didn't dare to lie to them. 'If | displease them, they might beatto a pulp, ' they thought.
The soldiers took the pictures from Austin's hand and studied them.
"I think | saw this one before,"
one of the soldiers said and pointed at Evan's portrait.
"Is that so?"
Austin's face lit up immediately.
"When did you see him? Tellin detail,"
Austin pursued in excitement.
"About half a month ago. This man was pissed off when he was asked to turn in his Space Ring. He confronted one of our
companions, who then beat him.
That is why | remember him,"
the soldier replied.
"What happened to him?" Austin asked in an exasperated tone.
Anger fermented within him when Austin heard that one of the guards had beaten Evan.
Noticing the anger on Austin's face, the soldier rushed to explain with a quick shake of his head. "I didn't hit him," he said
anxiously.
When Austin didn't say anything, the soldier was relieved.
"This guy pleaded with us to forgive that young man and offered to pay double. We then let them pass," he continued as he
pointed at Mike's portrait.
Austin heaved a sigh of relief. "Luckily, Mike is with them. He is an experienced man. He saved Evan.’
"What about them? Have you seen them?"
Austin asked as he pointed at the portraits of Ivy and Sue.
Ivy and Sue were enchanting girls, and their beauty could take men's breath away. At the thought of how these soldiers had
treated the queen, Austin feared that the soldiers might have taken advantage of the girls.
"There were two girls with those men, but the girls in the pictures are much prettier than them. The girls we saw had many freckles
on their faces,"
the soldier recalled.
"I see. It must have been Mike's idea,"
Austin murmured as his mood lifted.
'It looks like Ivy and Sue disguised themselves to hide their beauty. This way, they could avoid unnecessary troubles.
From what the soldier has said, Ivy, Sue, Evan, Mike, and Herbert are now in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom, ' he concluded.
A few days ago, Austin left the Water City to search for them. Now, he finally knew of their whereabouts.
All his worries instantly vanished.
He decided to look for them in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom.

'l finally narrowed down their location, ' he thought.
"Where is that guy who hit my friend?"
Austin asked coldly as he put the portraits away.
"You've already killed him, sir,"
the soldier replied as he pointed at the pulp on the ground.
It turned out that Austin had already killed the man who had hit Evan.
"Who is stirring trouble here? How dare you lay a hand on our men? Don't you know we're from the Sky Sect?"
A loud voice cfrom the gates.
Then a young man clad in a yellow robe walked out of the city.
Two middle-aged men accompanied the man dressed in yellow. Austin could tell by the vital energy the two middle-aged men
released that they were at the Tribulation Realm.
A disciple next to the young man who was dressed in yellow clothes, took a step forward.
"Faron, this asshole and that bitch killed our companions," he said through gritted teeth as he pointed at Austin and the queen.
"What's going on?
Where are the others?" Faron Chang asked with a puzzled look on his face.
The men accompanying him were also confused, for they only saw a dozen dead bodies on the ground.
'Where did the other soldiers go?' they wondered.
Since the queen had smashed all the soldiers into a bloody mist, there were no flesh or bone remains left.
"What's all this? Where did the other disciples go?
Tell me,"
Faron questioned the five soldiers.
"They are dead," one soldier replied as he trembled with fear.
When he spoke, he stole glances at Austin and the queen. Horror reflected in his eyes.
