Chapter 1740 Sunset City


    News of the assault on Stacy Ren and her subsequent disappearance had spread out across the entire


    East Maind by now.


    Since she was the daughter of the chief of the Deep Sea Commercial House and at the same time,


    incredibly beautiful, she was as important and famous to the young male cultivators as a goddess.


    There were altogether five such beautifuldies in the East Maind. Stacy was one of them.


    Aside from her, there was the Holy Daughter of the Rudimentary Holy Land—Megan Ji, Belinda Shen


    from the Shen n, the Holy Daughter of the Jade Sect—Heather Qian and Peacock Princess from


    the beast race.


    Each of them was well-known across the East Maind, and considered to be the most beautiful and


    rare pearls of town.


    They always got a lot of attention from the people of the East Maind.


    Countless male cultivators had confessed their love to them publicly and had even pursued them in the


    hopeless hope of marriage to them.


    Now Stacy, one of the five goddesses, had gone missing. Such news was wildfire in the East Maind


    and it was no wonder that the news had spread.


    More rumors continued toe by the hour.


    Some of them said that Stacy had been pursued by killers from the ughtering Sect and was long


    gone.


    Some even suggested that the people of the Deep Sea Commercial House themselves had hired the


    killers of the ughtering Sect to hunt her down.


    Later, news came that Stacy was trapped in the Sunset City and the chief of the Deep Sea Commercial


    House was going to rescue her.


    "Sunset City..."


    Austin also heard those rumors and pondered over it for a while, before finally deciding to visit the


    Sunset City.


    He headed over there without a moment''s dy. Each moment was important right now.


    Sunset City was located in a remote corner in the East Maind and few people ever set foot there.


    Austin decided to disguise himself before going to the Sunset City. With the help of the teleportation


    arrays that were located in the major cities, he was finally able to reach his destination after a couple of


    days'' journey.


    "So this is the Sunset City!"


    Austin was shocked by the endless row of ruins that greeted his eyes as soon as he arrived here.


    Like the rumored former headquarters of the me Holy Land, the Sunset City was also well-known.


    Though remote, it was still a famous site of ruins.


    It was said that in ancient times, the Sunset City had been the stronghold of one of the beast races—


    the fire crow race.


    But somehow, all of their members had died out and since no one had moved there after that, the city


    had turned into ruins as time passed through neglect and erosion.


    A legend in the East Maind said that the treasures and inherited magic treasures of the fire crow


    race was still present in the city.


    asionally, some cultivators would be lured by the greed of that treasure and would go over to the


    city and try their luck to find those legendary treasures.


    However, no one had ever found such treasures in the past millions of years.


    In any case, the city was famous for its ruins and it was said that some eight hundred or so ruins still


    stood there.


    It was hard to imagine that a beast race once had inhabited this ce. Or perhaps it wasn''t,


    considering how hauntingly beautiful the ruins were.


    "Is it possible that Stacy escaped to this ce after being pursued by her killers?


    But finding a single person in such a big city is like looking for a needle in a haystack,"


    Austin murmured to himself as he looked around at the vast rows of ancient ruins that inhabited the


    entire ce around him.


    Then he entered inside.


    A dead silence greeted his footsteps inside.

    Cracks were spread on the ground everywhere as if a big fire had once urred in this city.


    Silence reigned both the city and the sky. Thick, dark clouds were spread overhead.


    Due to those clouds, the city was quite dark and even in the middle of the day, it looked like night had


    fallen.


    There was also some sort of dark colored mist that enveloped those ruins.


    But Austin also saw plenty of cultivators in those ruins.


    They were present in groups and spread in different ces as if they were looking for something.


    Releasing his spiritual sense, Austin discovered that most of them were from the Deep Sea


    Commercial House.


    ''Looks like the rumors are true. The people from the Deep Sea Commercial House are also searching


    Stacy here, ''


    Austin thought to himself.


    He was checking the surroundings continuously by unleashing his spiritual sense to look for Stacy in


    any of the ruins.


    Suddenly, he felt a powerful spiritual senseing over from the distance and locking onto him.


    Austin waspletely taken aback by its intensity.


    It was so powerful that he could hardly steady himself in its face. Austin knew immediately that he was


    no match for the person who had released this spiritual sense.


    Therefore, he tried to activate his spatial power in an attempt to transport himself into another


    dimension.


    To his astonishment, the space around him waspletely blocked off.


    It was impossible for him to travel through space at all.


    In fact, Austin waspletely unable to move.


    The next moment, a middle-aged man d in a bright shade of purple appeared in front of him.


    He had a square face, bushy eyebrows andrge, intense eyes. He was staring coldly at Austin.


    "Who are you? What are you doing here?"


    the man asked him slowly, staring coldly at Austin with his sharp eyes.


    Austin''s opponent hadn''t even unleashed his vital energy to show off his powers. He didn''t need to.


    There was no hint of anger on his face. He was just floating there in front of Austin, waiting for thetter


    to answer his questions.


    Through his spiritual sense, Austin immediately told Brady what was going on.


    "Brady, could you transfer me into the ve Tower?" he asked through his spiritual sense.


    "This man is very powerful. He can easily match a holy lord.


    But I can use the teleportation powers of the ve Tower to free you from him for a while. Short, but


    enough to get you inside the tower,"


    Brady answered.


    His reply set Austin''s mind at ease.


    Because once he entered the ve Tower, even a holy lord, along with his ultimate magical treasure


    couldn''t do anything to him. It meant that even though the man in front of him was as strong as a holy


    lord, Austin was going to be safe as long as Brady got him into the ve Tower.


    "I''m here to look for my friend.


    Who are you, sir? Do I have to ask for your permission to enter the city?"


    Austin replied in a tone neither overbearing nor servile, looking as calm as he had been from the very


    beginning.


    "What?"


    The man had not expected Austin to talk to him that way.


    "Very good. You have guts.


    Alright, I''m the chief of the Deep Sea Commercial House, Yannick Ren.


    Anyone who enters this city has to answer to me first.


    And you''d better do that honestly because if you lie, I will kill you,"


    the middle-aged man responded to Austin''s queries.
