Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“Answer a few questions, and I’ll give you a quick death!” Billy continued.

“… You have no idea who you’re up against… Dare to kill someone from the Sacred Hall Sect… You’ll soon know the consequences…”

After speaking, Arlo Morales’s eyes twisted, and a burst of energy exploded within him, killing him instantly.

For a Heaven Dao Realm expert, even when severely injured, suicide was not difficult.

“I’ll be waiting for your Sacred Hall Sect people!” Billy said to the corpse.

He then raised his hand, and Arlo Morales’s storage ring fell into his grasp.

He glanced at the horizon, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He had a vague feeling that someone was watching, but he couldn’t be sure.

“Did he notice us?” The woman in plain clothes asked Elder Mikhi.

“Probably not!” Elder Mikhi shook his head. “He shouldn’t have that kind of power yet!”

“Don’t underestimate him!” The woman in plain clothes looked serious. “He killed a fifth-rank Heaven Dao Realm expert with one strike. He really surprised me!”

“He has killed so many from the Sacred Hall Sect; they won’t let this go easily!” Elder Mikhi responded.

“Yes!” The woman nodded. “Let’s go back and discuss. We might need to adjust our strategy against him!”

With that, the two turned and left.

In the following days, Billy and his group stayed in the Gathering Spirit Array to refine beast cores. Within ten days, everyone had breakthroughs.

Harleen advanced to the sixth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm. Ivy, Opal, and Aubree reached the fifth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm.

Casey and Stout both advanced two levels. Casey reached the third-rank Perceiving Dao Realm, while Stout entered the fourth-rank Holy Realm.

Azure Dragon and Azure Fang also advanced by one rank.

As for Billy himself, he knew that his future opponents would only get stronger, and his current cultivation level was still too low.

‘Cracked Sky’ couldn’t be used twice in succession. If he faced several mid to late-stage Heaven Dao Realm opponents simultaneously, he would struggle to compete.

So, even though he had just broken through recently, he spent ten days continuously refining four Late Stage Perceiving Dao Realm beast cores.

On the tenth morning, with the help of his bloodline power, he forcefully advanced by one rank, reaching the sixth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm like Harleen.

After their cultivation levels improved, they left the Gathering Spirit Array and began practicing their martial techniques.

Harleen, Ivy, and others who specialized in swordsmanship focused entirely on practicing the ‘Five Elements Sword Array.’Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

They had already witnessed the power of this sword formation. Once deployed, its power far exceeded individual combat, so they naturally wouldn’t miss out on such a good technique.

Billy continued to practice ‘Cracked Sky’ and ‘Heavenly Fury’ blade techniques. With his current cultivation level, he could already unleash eighty to ninety percent of the Cracked Sky Blade Technique’s power!

One morning, they were chatting in the square.

“Boss, last time Mr. Sparks mentioned that the old master and your father might no longer be in this star domain,” Azure Dragon said to Billy.

“Should we go to the City of the Dead earlier? There might really be a way to reach higher star domains there. Finding the old master sooner means we can return to Glavale sooner.”

“It’s challenging!” Casey replied.

“The Mysterious Hall Sect and Sacred Hall Sect are determined to get to the City of the Dead. If we go now, we’ll only be leading the way for them. With our current strength, it’s hard to compete with them!”

“Who cares! We’ll fight them if we have to!” Stout retorted.

“Shut up!” Ivy glared at him. “We don’t even know their high-end combat strength levels. How can we fight them?”

“For all we know, any random person from their sects could be at the late-stage Heaven Dao Realm. How do we compete with that?”

“Alright…” Stout muttered.

“Let’s wait a bit longer,” Billy said thoughtfully. “We’ll discuss it later. First, let’s figure out the combat strength of both sects.”

“Boss, don’t you find it strange why Mr. Sparks told us so much about the City of the Dead?” Azure Dragon continued.

“Could it be Old Alfie’s idea?” Harleen suggested. “Maybe Old Alfie didn’t want to speak directly and had Mr. Sparks relay it to us?”

“More than likely!” Billy nodded.

He had suspected this during his conversation with Samuel Sparks!

“Looks like Old Alfie knows quite a lot!” White Tiger said. “We should visit Heavenly Secrets Pavilion again and ask him…”

“Boss, there’s a lady looking for you!” Judge walked in at that moment.

Following him were an elderly woman and a young woman.

The young woman was about Harleen’s age, with delicate features and a graceful figure.

Billy quickly assessed their cultivation levels. The elderly woman was at second-rank Heaven Dao Realm, while the young woman was only at mid-stage Entering Dao Realm.

“Greetings, Mr. Billy!” The young woman bowed to Billy.

“What do you want?” Billy asked.

“Allow me to introduce myself first!” The young woman bowed again. “My name is Ruby Sutton from Phoenix City in the Great Blue East Domain!”

“Hmm?” Everyone was surprised that someone had come from the East Domain.

“What is Phoenix City?” Bob asked her.

“Phoenix City is the largest city in the East Domain and home to the City Lord’s Mansion!” Ruby Sutton replied.

“Are you from the City Lord’s Mansion?” Bob continued.

“Yes!” Ruby Sutton nodded.

“What do you want with my boss?” Judge asked.

“My king wishes to invite Mr. Billy to Phoenix City as a guest!” Ruby Sutton looked at Billy. “Would Mr. Billy honor us with his presence?”

“Do you think we’re fools?” Stout scoffed. “Invite us to your City Lord’s Mansion and then capture us all at once?”

“This gentleman jests!” Ruby Sutton smiled lightly.

“My king has never harbored ill intentions towards Mr. Billy. Even if he did, we wouldn’t have the strength to act on it, would we?”

“With your skills, if we had bad intentions, you could destroy Phoenix City!”

“You seem to know a lot about us?” Casey asked her.

“Given your current fame in the Great Blue Star Domain, this information doesn’t require special effort to gather.” Ruby Sutton smiled again.

“What does your king want with me?” Billy asked.

“I dare not speculate on my king’s intentions. It’s best if Mr. Billy comes himself…” Ruby Sutton replied.

“No time!” Billy interrupted her. “If there’s nothing else, please leave.”

“My king sincerely invites Mr. Billy to visit the East Domain. Please consider it.”

As she spoke, Ruby Sutton took out a storage ring and flicked it towards Billy.

“As a token of our sincerity, please accept this small gift.”

“We don’t lack spirit stones or natural treasures!” Stout said in a boastful tone.

“My king knows Mr. Billy doesn’t lack these things!” Ruby Sutton smiled.

“If it’s beast cores you’re offering, you can keep them. If you need beast cores, I can give you dozens for your journey back.” Stout scoffed.

“The East Domain does have many high-level beasts, but the highest level is only comparable to Entering Dao Realm. Mr. Billy wouldn’t be interested, so I didn’t bring any.” Ruby Sutton paused before responding.

“So what’s in there?” Stout seemed intrigued.
