Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

As Billy spoke, a gust of wind from his palm sent five people flying once again.

This time, it was even worse; they lay on the ground, unable to get up for a long while.

“Do you want to live?” Billy strolled over to Aiden Stevens.

“Who exactly are you two?” Even if Aiden Stevens was slow-witted, he now realized that Billy and his companion were far from ordinary.

An eighth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm cultivator taking down a Heaven Dao Realm opponent in one move-if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.

“Answer a few questions for me. If I’m satisfied, you might keep your life,” Billy continued.

“What… what do you want to ask?” Aiden Stevens coughed up a mouthful of blood.

“What has been happening at the City Lord’s Mansion these past few days?” Billy asked.

“I… I don’t know what you mean…” Aiden Stevens’s eyes flickered with an unusual light.

With a crisp sound, Aiden Stevens’s left arm was immediately crippled.

Aiden Stevens screamed in pain, “My father is the commander of the Praetorian Guard! How dare you cripple my arm? I swear, I will make you…”

“Quite some spirit you have there. Let’s see how long you can hold out!” Billy said as he raised his hand again.

“No…” Aiden Stevens’s face was filled with terror. “I’ll talk, I’ll talk…”

After catching his breath, he hurriedly said, “The Southern Domain King has been controlled by my father… including all his kin…”

He had no doubt that if he didn’t tell the truth, Billy would break every bone in his body.

“Who is behind your father?” Billy continued to ask.

“I… I don’t know… my father handled this himself…” Aiden Stevens said with difficulty.

“I only know that someone is indeed supporting my father; otherwise, he wouldn’t have such power…”

“Get lost!” Billy kicked him away.

He didn’t want to waste too much time on such a small fry.

Two moments later, Billy and Harleen finished their meal and left the restaurant.

“Honey, should we go to an inn or…?” Harleen looked at Billy and asked.

“Let’s find an inn!” Billy replied. “That young master probably won’t let this go easily. Let’s find a place and wait for them!”

“Alright!” Harleen nodded.

Half an hour later, they found a somewhat secluded inn in the eastern part of the city and checked in.

“Honey, I miss Tasha!” Harleen said softly as they sat on the sofa, leaning against Billy.

“I miss her too!” Billy stroked her hair. “Once we’re done with our business in the City of the Dead, we’ll go back and let Azure Dragon and the others reunite with their families as well.”

“Yes!” Harleen nodded slightly. “I wonder how Tasha is doing in Ether Mountain. I hope she’s adapting well.”

“Don’t worry, honey. Adam and the others will treat her like their own. Plus, my parents are there too; she won’t be mistreated. I’m more worried they’ll spoil her too much!” Billy laughed.

“Yes!” Harleen nodded again. “It’s been years; she must have grown a lot taller by now.”

“Definitely!” Billy smiled. “Next time we go back, we might not even recognize her.”

“Honey, after we deal with the City of the Dead and the two sects, let’s take Tasha and my parents to Akabuchi City for a while,” Harleen suggested.

“Sure! Whatever you say!” Billy smiled again.

“It’s settled then!” Harleen responded with a smile.

After a brief pause, she changed the topic: “Honey, if there’s a way to reach higher star domains from within the City of the Dead, should we consider cooperating with the Mysterious Hall Sect?”

“We could join forces with them to reduce our number of strong opponents.”

“I feel that the Young Lady from Mysterious Hall Sect doesn’t harbor much hostility towards us. If we team up with them against Sacred Hall Sect, it shouldn’t be too difficult.”

“We know too little about both sects right now; it’s hard to make a decision,” Billy said thoughtfully.

“Moreover, even though that Young Lady hasn’t made a move against us yet, we can’t be sure about the intentions of others in her sect.”

“Besides, I have a Sacred Object inside me, which is a great temptation for most people.”

“I understand,” Harleen nodded slightly.

“Let’s wait and see. The people from both sects are probably running out of patience; they might make a big move soon,” Billy added.

“Yes,” Harleen nodded again.

“Honey, are you tired? Should I give you a massage?” Billy looked at Harleen.

“… You are so annoying! The people from the City Lord’s Mansion might come soon, and you’re still thinking about such things!” Harleen blushed and scolded playfully.

“Uh…” Billy’s mouth twitched. “Honey, your thoughts are dirty. I just wanted to give you a simple massage because you’re tired!”

“Hmph! We’ve been married for so long; do you think I don’t know your little tricks?” Harleen rolled her eyes at him.

“Honey, you’ve really misunderstood me…” Billy started to say but then narrowed his eyes slightly.

“They’re coming fast!” Harleen also sensed something unusual.

“Let’s go, Harleen. Let’s meet them outside and get this over with quickly so I can give you that massage!” Billy kissed Harleen’s forehead before standing up.

“Don’t mention the massage again!” Harleen scolded playfully once more.

Two minutes later, they walked out of the inn.

Looking around, they saw over twenty figures flying towards them from a distance.

Leading them was an old man with a full beard, his face unfriendly and exuding a thick killing intent from within.

This man was Dexter Stevens, commander of the Southern Barbarians City Lord’s Mansion Praetorian Guard!

He was also the second strongest in the City Lord’s Mansion, with cultivation at half-step into fifth-rank Heaven Dao Realm!

Following closely behind him were his two deputies, both third-rank Heaven Dao Realm experts.

The dozen or so people behind them were core members of the Praetorian Guard. Besides two first-rank Heaven Dao Realm cultivators, the rest were in mid-to-late stages of Dao Perception.

“Are they here for us?” Billy and Harleen flew up and stopped above the inn.

“Who gave you the guts to harm my son!” Dexter Stevens glared coldly at Billy.

“So you’re the head of the Southern Barbarians City’s Praetorian Guard?” Billy said calmly. “I heard you’ve committed treason by controlling your city lord?”

“Nonsense!” One of the first-rank Heaven Dao Realm men pointed at Billy. “You better watch your mouth or else…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Harleen flicked her wrist, sending a sword light whistling through the air at high speed.

The man didn’t expect Harleen to strike suddenly and had no defense prepared. By the time he reacted, one of his arms had already been severed and flown off.

“Ah…” The man screamed as he was sent flying three to four hundred meters away.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“You court death!” One of the deputy commanders growled and charged at Harleen.

The dozen or so people behind him followed suit, their auras instantly surging.
