I have a city in another world

Tang Zhen launched a counterattack, as swift and powerful as thunder.

Like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, it instantly stirred up towering waves.

When a Wizarding Alliance branch was abruptly wiped off the face of the earth in a fierce wind, onlookers suddenly realized that the Astral Plane was no longer what it used to be.

At that moment, the witnesses saw nothing but the sight of disaster.

A sudden gale swept through the city, turning the sky and earth into the color of ink. Shop signs on the streets shattered and flew about, and all sorts of debris tumbled in the air.

The gale twisted and turned as it swept across the city, scattering countless tiles and uprooting large trees in its wake.

The howling wind was sharp and muffled, much like the roar of an ancient dragon in its rage, making one's eardrums ache.

The catastrophic scene lasted for a full minute until the gale subsided, leaving only a mess in the city.

Collapsed walls and houses, broken streetlights and old trees, scattered clothes and debris, and people crying out in panic.

The news spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the country within half an hour, and many citizens were discussing it.

"That's not normal wind at all! I saw it clearly; someone deliberately destroyed the Wizard Alliance branch!"

A burly man was talking to someone, patting his chest as he made a guarantee, with a lingering fear on his face.

"I heard that none of the wizards in the Alliance branch managed to escape; they were all buried underneath!"

"No need to hear, it's gone."

"Who on earth is so audacious as to dare to touch the Wizarding Alliance!"

"The astral plane has been quite turbulent lately. I've heard there's been fighting in many places. Could it be that other forces have invaded?"

Amidst the discussions, there was a palpable sense of unease among the people.

Although the Star Realm is in chaos, with constant conflicts between forces in various regions and the situation deteriorating day by day, most of the chaos occurs in remote areas or border areas between forces, and has little impact on most ordinary people.

They continued to live their lives as usual, and many were completely unaware of the turmoil in the Astral Plane. But this time, disaster struck right before their eyes. The destruction of the Wizarding Alliance branch was like a heavy hammer blow that woke everyone up.

The turbulent times finally affected their lives.

"They used to say the Wizarding Alliance was the guardian of the Astral Plane, and no one dared to mess with them. But now? They can't even protect their own branch!"

The old man, leaning on his cane, looked at the ruins of the Alliance branch in the distance, his brow furrowed, and sighed.

In the hearts of the people, the Wizarding Alliance has always been a symbol of order. With them around, the rules of the astral plane can function properly, and people can live in peace.

But now, this "guardian" has been publicly humiliated, and the last fig leaf has been completely torn off.

The world has finally realized that the Wizarding Alliance is no longer as powerful as it once was, and is no longer the behemoth that no one dares to offend.

"Without an alliance to maintain order, will we be at war every day? How will we survive?"

A woman held her child tightly, her voice filled with worry, and there were obvious tear stains in the corners of her eyes.

Panic spread like wildfire, and more and more citizens tried to hoard food and daily necessities, making the streets deserted.

Shops closed early, and every household kept their doors and windows tightly shut, fearing that disaster might suddenly befall them.

Unlike the concerns of the general public, the monks of the Wizarding Alliance were already furious upon learning of this.

In the council chamber of an alliance branch, dozens of wizards sat together, the atmosphere so oppressive it was almost palpable.

"This is utterly audacious! Some nobody dared to destroy a branch of the Wizarding Alliance!" A middle-aged wizard in a blue robe slammed his fist on the table in anger, causing the teacups on it to bounce.

His face was full of anger, but a hint of barely perceptible fear was hidden in his eyes. He said in a cold voice, "No matter how chaotic the Astral Plane is, the Wizarding Alliance will not fall. This matter must not be let go."

"Why haven't the ninth-ranked lords of the alliance made a move yet?"

Another young wizard frowned, his tone tinged with complaint, "If this continues, the Alliance will lose all face, and those dark monks will only become more arrogant, taking advantage of us!"

"It's not just a matter of being embarrassed!"

An old wizard in the corner spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and weary, "Have you thought about what will happen to the people in the other branches if he continues to cause trouble like this?"
My branch is in the next city. If he targets us again, no one will be a match for him!

These words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the anger of many wizards and leaving only deep panic.

A wizard, pale-faced and trembling, said, "I have received news that many free wizards have begun packing their belongings and are fleeing the city as quickly as possible."

I'd like to escape too, but I'm afraid of being seen as a deserter. Now I can only grit my teeth and bear it.

The wizard, full of resentment, looked at the people around him and said with a helpless tone, "There's been no movement from headquarters. They just told us to wait patiently for reinforcements, but what are we waiting for?"

If we wait any longer, he'll tear down our entire branch!

A wizard rushed into the council hall, his face pale and his breathing rapid. He shouted to the crowd, "It's terrible! The second Alliance branch... has been burned down! Completely burned to the ground!"

The wizards stood up abruptly, their faces filled with astonishment.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

The middle-aged wizard who had just slammed his fist on the table grabbed the other wizard's arm and asked in an urgent tone.

"It's true... I just received news that the White Deer City branch was burned to the ground in public, and many cultivators who tried to stop it died."

The wizard sighed and said to the crowd, "That ninth-level cultivator declared that he would avenge the believers of the Starshine Temple and demand that the Alliance hand over the mastermind behind it all. Otherwise, he would continue to cause destruction until he reaches the number he previously mentioned!"

Upon hearing this, the wizards immediately burst into angry curses.

"That damned evil god should be sent to the execution platform for dissection, and the entire astral plane should watch it live!"

"Regardless of his background, headquarters must take immediate action!"

One wizard shouted excitedly, "He's already destroyed two branches! This is a blatant provocation against the Alliance's bottom line! If we don't take action now, who will be afraid of us in the future?"

"What is headquarters waiting for? Is there really no way to deal with that person?"

One of the wizards spoke up in dissatisfaction, but his words plunged the hall into silence.

Everyone knows that there are many ninth-level cultivators in the alliance. Logically speaking, dealing with a ninth-level cultivator should be more than enough. So why has the headquarters not made any move until now?
Anxiety, fear, anger... all sorts of emotions intertwined in my heart.

The wizards took out their communicators and put pressure on the alliance headquarters, demanding that the headquarters immediately send powerful figures to suppress that audacious fellow.

News of the attacks on the two Wizarding Alliance branches spread rapidly, affecting residents of nearby cities who stayed home and dared not venture out.

The Wizarding Alliance branch was on high alert, and nearby residents moved away to avoid being caught in the fighting.

In every corner of the city, public anxiety continues to fester, with people utterly disappointed by the Wizarding Alliance's performance.

Secretly, dark monks were fueling the attack on this propaganda alliance branch.

Many other forces and organizations seized this opportunity to cause trouble, making the security situation increasingly chaotic. (End of Chapter)
