Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“I’ve only heard about it; I haven’t seen the Star Domain Chasm myself,” Samuel Sparks said, nodding slightly before continuing. “It’s rumored that the danger level of the Star Domain Chasm is on par with cosmic storms and black holes, perhaps even greater. If you force your way through, even a late-stage Heaven Dao Realm expert has no chance of survival.”

Everyone gasped in shock.

“Mr. Bowman, has no one left this third-tier star domain over the years?” Harleen asked, looking at Samuel Sparks.

“That’s not the case!” Samuel Sparks shook his head. “I’ve heard that a thousand years ago, two people successfully left this star domain and reached a higher-tier star domain. But that’s just a rumor; I can’t confirm its authenticity.”

“A thousand years ago?” Billy and the others were slightly taken aback by his words. Images of the ancestors from Ether Mountain and the Ravenwood family flashed through their minds.

“Mr. Bowman, do you know who they were?” Harleen pressed.

“No, I don’t,” Samuel Sparks shook his head. “Nor do I know how they left this star domain.”

“Mr. Bowman, have you heard of anyone leaving in recent years?” Casey asked.

“In recent years?” Samuel Sparks shook his head again. “I haven’t heard of anyone, but…”

“But what?” Casey urged.

“Over a year ago, there were rumors that someone was attempting to reach the fourth-tier star domain, but nothing came of it,” Samuel Sparks replied. Then, as if remembering something, he added, “If I recall correctly, the rumor seemed to come from your Akabuchi star domain.”

“Really?!” Everyone was once again taken aback.

“I can’t be sure; it’s just something I heard,” Samuel Sparks reiterated. “As for whether they succeeded, there were no further rumors.”

“Boss, could it be the old master and your father?” Stout asked Billy.

“Very likely!” White Tiger chimed in.

Not only did they think so, but Casey and the others also immediately thought of the old master and Billy’s father.

“Mr. Bowman, you mentioned the Star Domain Chasm. Is it related to the City of the Dead?” Billy asked Samuel Sparks after a slight nod.

He had naturally thought of the old master and his father. If the rumors were true, it was highly likely to be them. Moreover, he was almost certain that the old master and his father had some connection with the ancestors from Ether Mountain and the Ravenwood family.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s just a guess,” Samuel Sparks nodded.

“What guess?” Felicia asked.

“Perhaps the City of the Dead contains a method to traverse the Star Domain Chasm, including its entrance, which should also be inside the City of the Dead,” Samuel Sparks responded.

“That seems highly likely!” Frostblade remarked. “Otherwise, those sects wouldn’t care so much about the City of the Dead’s map!”

“Indeed!” Alex Long agreed.

Casey and the others also showed expressions of agreement. If the Star Domain Chasm truly existed, then Samuel Sparks’ guess about the City of the Dead was very plausible.

“Hmm?” At that moment, Aarav Lyons frowned slightly. He took out a sound transmission stone and infused it with spiritual power. Moments later, his expression changed dramatically as he turned to Billy. “Mr. Billy, I just received a transmission from our Carefree Pavilion Grand Elder-there’s trouble in Radiant Sky City!”

“What happened?” Billy frowned.

“Someone has taken control of the City Lord’s Mansion. There have been significant casualties among the people from the City Lord’s Mansion, Carefree Pavilion, and Cold Feather Palace,” Aarav Lyons replied. “The intruders have declared that if they don’t see you within three days, they will kill everyone in the City Lord’s Mansion!”

“What?!” Casey and the others were stunned.

“Do we know who they are?” Billy’s eyes flashed with cold light.

“No, they wouldn’t say,” Aarav Lyons shook his head.

“It’s probably people from Domain Lord’s Mansion!” White Tiger said gravely.

“According to Grand Elder, from his conversation with them, it doesn’t seem like they’re from Domain Lord’s Mansion,” Aarav Lyons added.

“Then who are they?” White Tiger frowned and looked at Billy. “Boss, could it be those two sects?”

“Very likely!” Billy nodded. He then turned to Samuel Sparks. “Mr. Bowman, we must leave now. If anything happens here, please let me know.”

“Mr. Billy, do you need me to send someone with you?” Samuel Sparks asked.

“No need,” Billy replied. He then led everyone towards the teleportation channel to Northern Abyss City. They couldn’t afford to take a starship given the three-day deadline. Fortunately, Northern Abyss City had a teleportation channel to Radiant Sky City.

The next morning, they arrived near the gates of Radiant Sky City’s City Lord’s Mansion.

“Mr. Billy!” Davian Woodard, head of Cold Feather Palace, hurried over upon seeing them, followed closely by Carefree Pavilion Grand Elder Aarav Lyons and a dozen attendants. Both Davian Woodard and Aarav Lyons were injured and looked weak.

“Are you alright?” Billy asked them.

“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Billy. We’re fine,” Davian Woodard and Aarav Lyons shook their heads.

“I’ll heal you later,” Billy nodded slightly before asking, “What’s the situation now?”

“They’ve taken control of the City Lord’s Mansion and replaced all guards at the entrance with their own men,” Davian Woodard responded. “It’s almost certain that they’re from Sacred Hall Sect.”

Sacred Hall Sect was one of the two ancient sects in Great Blue Star Domain; the other was Mysterious Hall Sect.

“As expected!” Azure Dragon frowned slightly and asked, “What’s the cultivation level of their strongest person?”

“We couldn’t determine that, but at least Mid Stage of Heaven Dao Realm!” Aarav Lyons replied.

“Let’s go take a look,” Billy said as he led everyone towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

Soon they reached the gates and saw that the guards had been replaced by four gray-robed men.

“Stop!” one of them commanded as they approached.

“Get lost!” White Tiger retorted.

“You court death!” The man roared and struck at White Tiger with his palm.

With a muffled sound, he was sent flying and spat out blood upon hitting the ground. His cultivation level was on par with White Tiger’s but he was no match for him.

“Insolence! You…” Another man started to shout but was cut off as Amber swept him away with a gust of wind, sending all three remaining men flying and knocking them unconscious.

They then walked into the courtyard of the City Lord’s Mansion.

“Who are you? Do you have a death wish?” A group approached them as they entered a small square near the entrance. Leading them was a black-robed elder with a hooked nose and a goatee, exuding no aura whatsoever. The four men behind him were all early-stage Heaven Dao Realm cultivators, while those further back were mid-to-late-stage Perceiving Dao Realm cultivators.

“You killed so many people in Radiant Sky City; have you thought about how you’ll pay for it?” Billy asked calmly.
