Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

Chapter 2072: Picking Up the Spoils!



“You first tell me, who are you?” Howlin Muir steadied his excitement and looked at Billy.

“Is that question important?” Billy retorted.

“How about this!” Howlin Muir thought for a moment before speaking.

“You helped me out of my predicament, and I owe you. I can give you a chance to join the Array Alliance and become my last disciple. How about that?”

“From what you’re saying, it sounds like you don’t intend to give me the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass?” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“The Heavenly Xuan Array Compass is ranked sixth among the Ten Sacred Objects. Even if I gave it to you, you wouldn’t be able to protect it with your current strength!” Howlin Muir spoke again.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Moreover, you might even lose your life because of it. It’s better for you to become my disciple; you can use the compass whenever you want…”

“I’m not interested in the Array Alliance, nor do I intend to become anyone’s disciple!” Billy interrupted him.

“Are you really not going to consider it?” Howlin Muir frowned slightly.

“Do you know that even in the sixth-tier star domain, countless people would kill to join my Array Alliance…”

“Not interested!” Billy spoke again. “Where’s the compass?”

“You’d rather have this compass than join my Array Alliance?” Howlin Muir took out the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass from his storage ring.

Billy saw a compass-like object floating in Howlin Muir’s palm, only the size of a hand, with nothing peculiar on its surface.

“Have you thought about what you’ll do if I don’t give it to you?” Howlin Muir looked at Billy and asked again.

“I can save you, and I can kill you!” Billy’s tone deepened. “It depends on whether you want your life or the compass!”

“Hahaha…” Howlin Muir laughed again. “You really…”

“Hand over the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass!” Before he could finish, an elder’s voice reached their ears.

Immediately, a shadow flashed in, and a powerful suction force pulled the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass towards the cave entrance.

“Hmm?!” Howlin Muir frowned. “Who dares? Do you have a death wish!”

As he spoke, he quickly chased after the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass.

“You are too weak now!” The elder said in a deep voice, forming a strong seal with his hand and striking towards Howlin Muir.

“Arrogant!” Howlin Muir shouted angrily, sweeping out a palm.

After a loud bang, Howlin Muir was flung hundreds of meters away, crashing into an ice wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood as he fell to the ground.

The intruder was genuinely at the Breaking Emptiness Realm. He was able to enter because Billy had broken the array at the cave entrance, allowing anyone to come and go freely.

If Howlin Muir were at his peak, he wouldn’t fear the opponent. But now, he could only muster half-step Breaking Emptiness Realm strength and was naturally no match.

Almost simultaneously with their clash, Billy slashed with his Heavenly Fury Slash.

Due to limited space and urgency, he didn’t have time to use the Phantom Blade Technique.

The blade light struck the elder’s defensive aura without obstruction.

However, it only pushed the elder back a certain distance without causing much harm.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass fell onto the ice surface.

“Die!”

The elder steadied himself and angrily struck towards Billy with a powerful seal. Thunder roared.

Knowing he couldn’t withstand it, Billy dodged to the side instead of confronting it head-on.

“Quick reflexes!” The elder was slightly surprised.

Then, ignoring Billy, he reached out towards the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass, which flew into his hand.

Without hesitation, the elder turned and left.

“Picking up the spoils? Is it that easy?” Billy coldly chased after him.

“Damn it!” Howlin Muir also got up from the ground, his face dark with anger. He cursed and chased after them as well.

Soon, Billy rushed out of the ice cave.

Outside, he saw a chaotic battle in the void. Jasper Muir led members of the Array Alliance and Harleen’s group against another faction.

Overall, the opposing side had slightly superior high-end combat power, including two half-step Breaking Emptiness Realm experts, two ninth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm experts, and two eighth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm experts.

On the Array Alliance side, only Jasper Muir was at half-step Breaking Emptiness Realm. He brought two ninth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm experts and one eighth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm expert. Morgan Muir was also at eighth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm.

Jasper Muir was struggling against two half-step Breaking Emptiness Realm experts and was already covered in wounds.

Billy glanced at Harleen and Casey’s group. Though not optimistic, they were not in immediate danger.

“We’ve got what we came for; retreat!”

The elder shouted as he moved thousands of meters away.

“Retreat!” Hearing his command, their fighters disengaged and quickly followed him.

“Think you can escape?” Billy muttered as he chased after them.

He wouldn’t allow them to take the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass without a fight!

“Boss, be careful! They’re from Frost Palace!” Casey shouted at Billy.

“Frost Palace?” Billy responded loudly. “You all go heal; don’t follow!”

“Boss, did that old man take the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass?!” Stout shouted with a pained expression.

“We can’t let him escape! Don’t let him escape!”

“And remember to check his storage ring for valuables!”

“Array Alliance members, chase them! Don’t let them escape!” Howlin Muir also rushed out of the ice cave.

“What the hell?!” Judge and Soul Chaser exclaimed upon seeing Howlin Muir’s appearance.

“A human-shaped Phantom Beast?” Stout shouted back.

Hearing this, Howlin Muir almost stumbled from mid-air.

“Alliance Leader, you’re out?” Jasper Muir and Morgan Muir shouted simultaneously with other Array Alliance members.

“Stop that old man! He took the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass!” Howlin Muir shouted loudly.

“Got it!” The Array Alliance members quickly pursued them.

In a few blinks of an eye, Billy caught up with Frost Palace members.

“Elder Eugene, you go ahead!” The two half-step Breaking Emptiness Realm elders said simultaneously.

They turned to face Billy. One elder in a green robe said coldly, “Kid, are you tired of living…”

“Get lost!” Billy didn’t waste words. He condensed his wild blade into a Heavenly Fury Slash and struck out.

With his bloodline power activated, Billy’s cultivation could reach second-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm. A single Heavenly Fury Slash could contend with eighth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm experts.

“Arrogant!” The elder replied coldly, casually sweeping out a palm.

With a loud noise, the elder was flung six or seven hundred meters away, his face full of shock.

“Hmm?!”

The other Frost Palace members were equally surprised by Billy’s strength.

“Elder Jasper, leave them to you!” Billy shouted at Jasper Muir and his group who had caught up behind him.

“Got it!” Jasper Muir responded loudly and led the Array Alliance members into battle with their opponents.

Billy then slashed an elder at fifth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm into two halves.

He quickly pursued Elder Eugene from Frost Palace.
