Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

For Billy, going to Great Green City was a must. Not for any other reason but for the Array Alliance, he had to make the trip. The last time the people from Yheng Institute managed to reach the City of the Dead was because the Array Alliance broke through the thunder array in the Star Domain Chasm. Therefore, for the safety of the lower star domain, he had to visit the Array Alliance.

“Mr. Billy, the Moore family branches in the fifth-rank star domain are quite strong. You must not be careless!” Liam Cooper said after a brief pause. He understood Billy’s intention to spread his whereabouts, clearly wanting to draw attention to himself.

“No problem, just spread the word for me!” Billy responded. As he spoke, he took out five low-grade Spirit Essence Pills from his storage ring and handed them to Liam Cooper. “Elder Liam, take these pills.”

“Mr. Billy, what are these?” Liam Cooper asked, slightly puzzled.

“Elder Liam, these are low-grade Spirit Essence Pills with 95% purity,” Ivy explained with a smile.

“What?” Upon hearing Ivy’s words, everyone in the Cooper family exclaimed in surprise. They had heard of low-grade Spirit Essence Pills, but ones with 95% purity were unheard of! Given their knowledge of Spirit Essence Pills, if these five pills truly had 95% purity, they were invaluable treasures.

“Mr. Billy, these pills are too precious…” Liam Cooper began to say.

“They’re just a few low-grade Spirit Essence Pills, nothing precious about them!” Billy interrupted him. “In a while, I’ll have someone send you some mid-grade Spirit Essence Pills!”

Liam Cooper choked for a moment. “Mr. Billy, you can get mid-grade Spirit Essence Pills?!”

He knew very well how rare mid-grade Spirit Essence Pills were; hardly anyone in this fourth-rank star domain had seen them!

“Should be possible,” Billy nodded slightly.

For the next two days, Billy and his group stayed temporarily at the City Lord’s Mansion. With Ivy’s assistance, Billy spent two days setting up a Gathering Spirit Array at the City Lord’s Mansion as a token of compensation for the Cooper family.

When the Cooper family sensed the concentration of spiritual energy in the Gathering Spirit Array, they couldn’t help but marvel again.

On the third morning, after giving some instructions to Liam Cooper, Billy and his group took their leave.

After leaving the City Lord’s Mansion, they first visited the Star Domain Chasm to check things out. Seeing nothing unusual, they felt relieved.

That afternoon, upon returning to Sword Sect, Billy went straight to Sword Pavilion.

“Elder Clayton, have you broken through?” Billy asked in surprise upon seeing Clayton Acevedo. Although he couldn’t sense Clayton Acevedo’s martial cultivation level, he could tell from his aura that he had become much stronger.

“I didn’t let that senior down,” Clayton Acevedo smiled faintly.

“The high-grade Spirit Essence Pill he gave me is excellent. Not only me but Ryder Blade and Jericho Acevedo also advanced by two levels!”

Hearing this, Billy couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. He hadn’t expected high-grade Spirit Essence Pills to be so effective! Clayton Acevedo was at the late stage of the seventh-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm, and refining one high-grade Spirit Essence Pill had directly boosted him by two levels!

This made Billy even more eager to obtain mid-grade and high-grade Spirit Essence Pills.

“Congratulations Elder Clayton, you’re now the strongest in this fourth-rank star domain!” Billy remarked.

“This is just a small place; my skills are nothing special. In a fifth-rank star domain, there are plenty like me,” Clayton Acevedo said calmly.

“Back then, a senior from Blade and Sword Sect with half-step Breaking Emptiness Realm strength went to a fifth-rank star domain and got severely injured within a year. You can imagine how tough it is!”

“Alright,” Billy replied.

Indeed, a fifth-rank star domain was dominated by Breaking Emptiness Realm experts! He realized that both he and his friends needed to break through faster. With their current strength, they wouldn’t last more than a month or two in a fifth-rank star domain!

“Is everything resolved in Cloudhaven City? Any issues?” Clayton Acevedo asked Billy.

“Thanks for your concern, Elder Clayton. No issues,” Billy shook his head. “Elder Clayton, there’s something I want to discuss with you.”

“What is it?” Clayton Acevedo asked.

“I’m planning to visit Great Green City,” Billy replied. “Since I don’t know when I’ll be back, about Blade and Sword Sect…”

“That’s perfect; I was about to talk to you about this!” Clayton Acevedo interrupted him.

“According to Jimmy Acevedo’s report, some forces in Great Green City have become restless after learning about Yheng Institute’s troubles. The whole city is chaotic.”

“It would be great if you could go there; the entire city needs proper management!”

“Isn’t City Lord’s Mansion handling it?” Billy asked.

“The Great Green City Lord’s Mansion was originally a puppet of Yheng Institute. After learning about the Institute’s troubles, the City Lord and core members fled in fear of retaliation from other forces,” Clayton Acevedo explained.

“I’ve temporarily stationed Jimmy Acevedo at City Lord’s Mansion, but he’s a straightforward martial artist and not suited for managing a city. He’s struggling.”

“Understood,” Billy nodded.

“After Yheng Institute’s downfall, there’s a possibility that forces from the fifth-rank star domain might intervene in Great Green City’s affairs. Be cautious,” Clayton Acevedo advised.

“If anything happens, contact me immediately.”

“Thank you, Elder Clayton!” Billy nodded again.

The next morning, Billy first visited Alchemists’ Alliance to inform Juliana Frost and promised to contact her once he reached the fifth-rank star domain. Then he bid farewell to everyone at Blade and Sword Sect and headed towards the teleportation channel with his group.

Bladesong City was quite a distance from Great Green City, but thanks to the teleportation channel, they arrived at a mountainous area outside Great Green City in just over two hours.

About fifteen minutes later, they landed at the main gate of Great Green City.

Great Green City was the largest city in Great Green Star Domain, nearly twice the size of Great Blue City. This core city of Great Green Star Domain had been dominated by Yheng Institute for nearly a thousand years and was now in chaos without a ruler.

Even before entering the city gates, Billy and his group saw two groups fighting in mid-air near the gate, with energy waves sweeping across the sky.

Upon entering the city, they saw many buildings had collapsed recently. The streets were much less crowded than those in Bladesong City, with at least one-third of shops closed.

The few pedestrians on the street hurried along with anxious expressions.

“It’s really chaotic here,” Judge remarked.

“Understandable,” Azure Dragon replied. “With Yheng Institute fallen and City Lord’s Mansion vacant, other forces naturally won’t stay quiet. Many are probably eyeing City Lord’s Mansion already!”

After walking for a while longer, they saw a carriage approaching from ahead, flanked by five or six guards on each side. It seemed like someone from a prominent family was traveling.

Just as the carriage came within four or five hundred meters of Billy’s group, twenty or thirty people suddenly rushed out from nearby shops. They looked fierce and carried various weapons as they charged towards the carriage without any hesitation.
