Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“I have the same feeling!” Azure Dragon nodded. “I suspect Old Alfie might be in their manor!”

“That can’t be right,” Judge responded. “If he were there, his son was almost killed by that old man, and he didn’t show up?”

“Who knows!” Azure Dragon shrugged.

“Whether Old Alfie is there or not, Master Isaac wasn’t entirely truthful,” Harleen mused.

“What part?” Judge asked.

“When we mentioned we were here for the City of the Dead, Isaac Kaur seemed normal, but the elders from Heavenly Secrets Pavilion had strange looks in their eyes,” Harleen replied.

“Indeed!” Opal nodded. “Old Alfie must know something about the City of the Dead!”

“Then why wouldn’t Todd say anything?” Stout grumbled. “We’re just asking about the City of the Dead, not robbing their vault. Why wouldn’t he talk?”

Stout only cared about treasures.

“There’s only one possibility,” Billy said calmly.

He had noticed the same thing Harleen mentioned. When the City of the Dead was brought up, the elders from Heavenly Secrets Pavilion showed a flicker of unease.

“What possibility?” Everyone looked at him.

“They’re either afraid to speak, or someone doesn’t want them to,” Billy responded.

“Boss, do you mean those two sects have already contacted Old Alfie?” Casey asked after a brief pause.

“Very likely!” Billy nodded slightly.

“In that case, there must be something in the City of the Dead we don’t know about!” Amber remarked.

“Boss, why don’t we go to the City of the Dead first? See what’s there?” Black Tortoise suggested.

“If those two sects don’t want Old Alfie to talk, going to the City of the Dead now would be walking into a trap!” Casey said again. “With our current strength, we’d just be doing their dirty work!”

“True!” Black Tortoise nodded.

“Let’s leave it for now and discuss it later,” Billy said again.

He agreed with Casey. With their current strength, they couldn’t compete with those two sects.

“Mr. Billy, should we return to the West Domain?” Aarav Lyons asked.

“Someone won’t let us leave the North Domain easily!” Billy responded thoughtfully.

“Billy, are you worried about the Northern Domain King?” Harleen looked at Billy.

“Yes,” Billy nodded. “After that battle, he knows we’re in the North Domain. It’s a perfect opportunity for him; he won’t miss it!”

“Boss, why don’t we go to Northern Abyss City?” Bob suggested.

“I agree!” Ian Blade replied.

Aarav Lyons coughed at their words. He had seen bold people before but never this bold. Just twenty people planning to attack the Northern Domain King’s stronghold seemed a bit too much.

“Boss, what do you think?” Casey asked Billy.

“Master Aarav, head to Northern Abyss City,” Billy decided after some thought.

“Uh…” Aarav Lyons’ mouth twitched. “Mr. Billy, Northern Abyss City is the Northern Domain King’s stronghold. Although they lost some forces recently, there are still…”

“No escape!” Billy interrupted him. “If we leave here, they’ll follow us. Better to take the initiative!”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“But…” Aarav Lyons hesitated. He wasn’t confident about heading to Northern Abyss City.

“Let’s go! We’ll have to face them sooner or later!” Billy responded.

“Alright then!” Aarav Lyons didn’t insist further.

The starship headed towards Northern Abyss City. Shortly after departure, two other ships began tailing them.

“Boss was right!” White Tiger squinted at the two ships in the distance.

“Boss, should we take them out first?” Ian Blade asked Billy.

“They’re just small fry, no need,” Billy replied. “Ignore them; we’ll deal with it in Northern Abyss City.”

“Got it!” everyone responded.

Heavenly Secrets Pavilion wasn’t far from Northern Abyss City. In less than an hour, they could see the vast city ahead. Even from a distance, they could tell Northern Abyss City was much larger than Radiant Sky City.

“Master Aarav, find a place to land,” Billy instructed after flying a bit further.

“Alright!” Aarav Lyons responded.

Soon, they landed on an open field. The two trailing ships continued towards Northern Abyss City without stopping.

“Boss, why not land directly in Northern Abyss City?” Stout asked after disembarking.

“Stout, do you really need to ask such a simple question?” Judge glanced at Stout. “With millions of people in Northern Abyss City, do you think it’s wise to have our main battle there?”

“Alright then!” Stout shrugged.

As they walked through the air for a while, a powerful aura swept towards them, filling the sky with immense pressure. Though they hadn’t seen anyone yet, they could tell it was someone at the Mid Stage of Heaven Dao Realm.

“They’re quick!” White Tiger looked towards Northern Abyss City and remarked calmly.

“Don’t be careless; stay alert,” Billy warned with narrowed eyes.

“Understood!” everyone nodded simultaneously.

As they spoke, a large group appeared on the horizon. Leading them was the Northern Domain King himself, a fifth-rank Heaven Dao Realm cultivator! Determined to capture Billy, he brought most of his high-end forces from the City Lord’s Mansion.

Following him was an elder at fourth-rank Heaven Dao Realm, one of his trusted aides like the one Billy had killed earlier at Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. Besides them were five other Heaven Dao Realm experts: two at third-rank late stage, one second-rank expert, and two first-rank experts. Originally, the Northern Domain King had over ten Heaven Dao Realm experts under his command, but five or six were killed by Billy at Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. Additionally, there were thirty to forty Perceiving Dao Realm cultivators, including some at Late Stage Perceiving Dao Realm. The rest were three to four hundred cultivators at Entering Dao Realm and below.

“There are quite a few of them,” Judge remarked as he looked at their numbers.

Azure Dragon and Azure Fang also looked serious. Though their group’s strength had grown significantly and even their weakest members could now contend with late-stage Entering Dao Realm opponents, being surrounded by three to four hundred enemies was no easy task.

“Don’t fight head-on; stall if you can,” Billy instructed firmly.

“Understood!” everyone nodded in agreement.

“Harleen, Ivy, Master Aarav, those two first-rank Heaven Dao Realm experts are yours,” Billy assigned tasks.

“Got it!” The three nodded simultaneously.

“Casey, Opal, keep an eye on everyone else,” Billy continued.

“Understood!” they responded.

“White Feather, those two third-rank Heaven Dao Realm experts and that second-rank expert are yours,” Billy said to White Feather next.

White Feather chirped and nodded in agreement.

As they spoke, hundreds of enemies approached them closely.
