Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

After hearing his words, everyone gasped.

It seemed they had severely underestimated the strength of the Domain Lord’s Mansion of the Great Blue Star Domain.

From the old man’s account, even excluding their domain lord and two second-in-command, there were over twenty experts in the Heaven Dao Realm, nearly half of whom were in the Mid Stage of Heaven Dao Realm.

In addition to the Heaven Dao Realm experts, there were many in the later stages of the Perceiving Dao Realm, including several half-step Heaven Dao Realm individuals.

The sheer power was intimidating!

“Do you know about the situation in the other three domains of the Great Blue Star Domain?” Billy asked with a slight frown.

“Not much…” the old man shook his head. “I only know that the other three Princes should all be in the Mid Stage of Heaven Dao Realm, but I don’t know their exact levels.”

After speaking, perhaps fearing Billy wouldn’t believe him, he added another sentence.

“Actually, the relationship between the four domains of the Great Blue Star Domain and the palace isn’t very close.”

“They each govern themselves and only pay a certain amount of tribute to the palace annually. They aren’t strictly subordinate to each other.”

“Besides the Domain Lord’s Mansion and the four domains, are there any other powerful forces in the Great Blue Star Domain?” Billy asked again.

He could tell that the old man wasn’t lying.

“There are two ancient sects…” the old man continued.

“But those sects rarely show themselves, so little is known about their strength.”

“From what I understand, their power might not be less than that of the palace, perhaps even greater…”

“Really?” Judge and Soul Chaser exclaimed simultaneously.

One palace was already overwhelmingly powerful, and now there were two even stronger sects?

Compared to the Great Blue Star Domain, wouldn’t the Akabuchi star domain be like a speck of dust?

“Who are you trying to fool?” White Tiger asked after a brief pause.

“Our Akabuchi star domain has only produced two Heaven Dao Realm experts over so many years. Can the Great Blue Star Domain really have so many powerful forces?”

The old man twitched his mouth slightly before continuing.

“You might not understand this star domain. Just in terms of size alone, the Great Blue Star Domain is probably a thousand times larger than the Akabuchi star domain, maybe even more.”

“In this vast star domain, even the Great Blue Star Domain is just a speck of dust in our third-tier star domain.”

“As for higher-tier star domains, they are beyond your imagination!”

Billy and his group were speechless.

The large Akabuchi star domain was less than one-thousandth of the Great Blue Star Domain!

Their limited experience had constrained their imagination!

“Actually, the Akabuchi star domain doesn’t even catch the palace’s eye!” the old man continued.

“The initial plan to attack the Akabuchi star domain was just the west domain king’s idea. He wanted to expand his territory and plunder resources, so he aimed to annex the Akabuchi star domain.”

“But then you killed the west domain king and occupied Radiant Sky City, which is why the palace started paying attention to you.”

“Otherwise, the palace wouldn’t have intervened!”

“That’s true!” Aarav Lyons added. “The decision to send troops to the Akabuchi star domain was always the west domain king’s idea!”

“Yes!” Billy nodded and looked back at the old man. “How much do you know about those two ancient sects?”

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but recall the plain-clothed woman and the black-robed elder he had met a few days ago.

They were likely from those two sects.

“Not much!” The old man shook his head.

“Those two sects are too ancient. No one knows how many years they’ve been around or where their headquarters are located.”

“Strictly speaking, they aren’t entirely sects of the Great Blue Star Domain because no one knows where their headquarters are. Some speculate they might not even be in the Great Blue Star Domain.”

“What is their relationship with your palace?” Casey asked.

“No relationship!” The old man shook his head again.

“Perhaps even the palace doesn’t catch their eye. Their goals lie beyond the Great Blue Star Domain, possibly even beyond our third-tier star domain.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“What do you mean?” Casey pressed.

“Their sights are likely set on higher-tier fourth-tier star domains!” The old man replied.

“For what purpose?” Azure Dragon asked.

“Civilization, spiritual energy, resources, martial arts, and so on!” The old man continued.

“The higher the tier of a star domain, the larger its scale. The level of civilization within it is also higher, including martial arts ceilings and spiritual energy as well as resources that far surpass ours.”

“For example, why does the Great Blue Star Domain want to become the master of this third-tier star domain? It’s all for these things.”

“Alright!” Azure Dragon replied.

“Do you know anything about the City of the Dead?” Billy paused before asking again.

“Very little. What do you want to know?” The old man shook his head.

“Apart from some so-called treasures, is there something special in the City of the Dead?” Billy asked.

From what he had heard from those two people a few days ago, it was clear they weren’t just after treasures in the City of the Dead.

“I don’t know!” The old man responded. “But one thing is certain: there must be more than just treasures in there.”

“What do you mean?” Billy asked.

“From what I know, those two sects went through great lengths to enter the City of the Dead, definitely not just for treasures.” The old man said.

“And it seems our Your Highness is also very interested in the City of the Dead, but he hasn’t taken any action yet.”

After asking a few more questions, Billy raised his hand and ended the old man’s life with a palm strike.

“Billy, could that woman from a few days ago be from one of those ancient sects?” Harleen asked Billy.

“Most likely!” Billy nodded.

“This is unbelievable!” Bob frowned. “One Domain Lord’s Mansion is already troublesome enough. Who knew there would be two even more terrifying sects? How are we supposed to live peacefully?”

“Boss, if that woman comes looking for us again, should we just give her the map of the City of the Dead and its solution?” Stout suggested while smacking his lips.

“We can’t afford to provoke them, but we can avoid them. Plus, we could exchange it for millions of sovereign-grade spirit stones and Heaven Dao Realm martial arts…”

“Stout, when did you become so cowardly!” Judge retorted. “At worst, we’ll fight them! Kill them!”

After seeing everyone’s expressions, he added reluctantly, “Although we can’t beat them, we should at least figure out what’s inside that City of the Dead first!”

Everyone fell silent.

“Master Aarav, Master Davian, do you know anything about the City of the Dead?” Casey turned to Aarav Lyons and Davian Woodard.

With Ivy’s help, their injuries had significantly improved.

“Sorry, we don’t know either. We only know it used to be where this third-tier star domain’s Domain Lord’s Mansion was located. Nothing else.” Aarav Lyons shook his head.

After a brief pause, as if recalling something, he added another sentence.

“Perhaps someone might know!”

“Who?” Everyone looked over simultaneously.
