Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“What excitement?” Azure Dragon’s eyes lit up.

“The people from Sky Cloud Evil Sect have summoned the leaders of the main sects and families in Radiant Sky City to the City Lord’s Mansion today. They are likely planning to officially take over the city!” Bob responded.

“What is the attitude of the sects and families in Radiant Sky City?” Casey asked.

“They are angry but dare not speak out!” Bob said again. “In the past few days, many high-level combatants from these forces have died at the hands of Sky Cloud Evil Sect.”

“Also, it is said that Sky Cloud Evil Sect wants these forces to double their tribute in the future. Anyone who disagrees will face severe consequences.”

“These sects and families must be gnashing their teeth at Sky Cloud Evil Sect, but they can only accept it because they are not strong enough!”

“Is that so?” Billy smiled faintly. “Then let’s go join the fun!”

After speaking, he led the group towards the door.

He had been holding back these days, partly to gather information and partly to wait for the right opportunity.

Today was clearly the best time he had been waiting for!

As Billy and his group made their way, the square outside Radiant Sky City Lord’s Mansion was already crowded.

Near the gate of the City Lord’s Mansion, several rows of seats were arranged, with the leaders of the top forces in Radiant Sky City seated. Each leader was accompanied by their own people.

The faces of a dozen leaders were not looking good. Although they were angry, they had no choice but to bow their heads in a world where strength reigns supreme.

Around them were thousands of onlookers. For them, it didn’t matter much who sat on the city lord’s seat. After all, the former West Domain King hadn’t treated them any better. They were just there to watch the excitement.

About a quarter of an hour later, Billy and Harleen’s group arrived at the square and found a spot in a corner.

“The people from Sky Cloud Evil Sect are coming out!”

Soon, someone in the crowd pointed towards the gate of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Billy and his group looked over to see a group of people stepping out from the City Lord’s Mansion.

Leading them was a tall woman in red, with a seductive appearance and a wild aura.

The woman was none other than Isabel George, the eldest daughter of Sky Cloud Evil Sect!

Despite her young age, she was already at the third-rank Heaven Dao Realm!

Following her was an old woman in a gray robe, emaciated and with sharp eyes, her aura swirling around her.

She was the strongest person sent by Sky Cloud Evil Sect to Radiant Sky City this time, also at the third-rank Heaven Dao Realm!

Behind her were four white-haired elders, two of whom were first-rank Heaven Dao Realm experts, while the other two were half-step Heaven Dao Realm experts.

Next were more than a dozen men and women of varying ages, with the weakest being at the early stage of Perceiving Dao Realm and the strongest at ninth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm.

Sky Cloud Evil Sect truly deserved its reputation as the number one sect in North Domain. Just these people alone were enough to make the sects and families in Radiant Sky City despair.

They were simply not on the same level!

“Bring them down!”

After Isabel George sat down on a dragon-carved chair at the gate, she waved her hand towards the top of the city gate.

As her words fell, more than a dozen figures were lowered from above the city gate, all dead.

Seeing this scene, there was a gasp from all around, including those from the dozen or so sects and families.

“Aren’t those two men in the middle the sons of the West Domain King? They were killed too?”

“And those other dozen people were also close to the West Domain King, all killed!”

“You may not know this, but anyone in City Lord’s Mansion who refused to submit was killed!”

Looking at those dozen figures, there was a buzz of discussion around.

“That woman is ruthless!” Judge couldn’t help but say. “With this move, Carefree Pavilion and Cold Feather Palace probably won’t dare to make a sound.”

“She doesn’t look like a kind person!” Soul Chaser replied.

“Leaders and heads of families, have you considered what we discussed yesterday?” Isabel George smiled faintly at the people in front of her.

“This matter can’t be delayed any longer. I invited everyone here today to hear your final thoughts.”

“I’m quite democratic. You don’t have to agree with me. If you have any opinions, feel free to bring them up. We can discuss everything.”

The leaders’ mouths twitched simultaneously.

“Master Aarav, why don’t you speak first?” Isabel George turned to Aarav Lyons, the head of Carefree Pavilion.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Aarav Lyons took a deep breath before speaking. “Miss George, I have no objection to you becoming the lord of this city. However, can we reduce the annual tribute a bit?”

“How much do you want to reduce it by?” Isabel George smiled faintly.

“When the West Domain King was here, each family only needed to contribute 100, 000 sovereign grade spirit stones annually.” Aarav Lyons continued. “But now, Miss George is asking for 200, 000. This is a lot of pressure for us. For example, Carefree Pavilion’s annual harvest is only…”

“Is 200, 000 too much?” Isabel George interrupted him. “Master Aarav, don’t underestimate me. As far as I know, Carefree Pavilion’s annual harvest from that mine in the east alone exceeds 200, 000 sovereign grade spirit stones.”

Without waiting for Aarav Lyons to respond, she turned to Davian Woodard, head of Cold Feather Palace.

“And Master Davian, Purple Trade City contributes at least 300, 000 sovereign grade spirit stones to Cold Feather Palace annually, right?”

Aarav Lyons and Davian Woodard opened their mouths but had no words. The other party had clearly done their homework on their finances.

“Miss George, even if we can barely come up with that many spirit stones, aren’t you going too far…” another family head spoke up.

“Is it your turn to speak?” Isabel George’s smile turned cold. “If you push us too hard, we’ll fight to the death!” that family head continued shouting.

“Do you think you have what it takes to fight us?” Isabel George’s tone turned icy. “I know Sky Cloud Evil Sect is strong, but we won’t be slaughtered like lambs. If you push us too hard…” Mr. Burnett continued shouting.

“Then you can die!” Isabel George’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Before she finished speaking, the old woman behind her narrowed her eyes slightly. Mr. Burnett was instantly sent flying along with his chair.

He crashed heavily several hundred meters away; his chair shattered into pieces as he tumbled and lay still on the ground with wide-open eyes, dead.

“Mr. Burnett!” The Burnett family members cried out in pain.

“Fight them!” An old man among them roared and charged at their opponents.

“Fight!” More than a dozen people shouted simultaneously and followed suit.
