Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“Boss, what’s with all the commotion? Did you break through?” Stout asked as he walked out of the Gathering Spirit Array, smacking his lips.

“It’s more than just a breakthrough!” Opal eyed Billy up and down. “Billy Boy, did you reach a new realm?”

“Yes,” Billy replied with a smile as he stood up.

“Really?” Everyone exclaimed in unison.

“The Sky-Splitting Pill works wonders,” Billy continued to smile.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“No way! You broke through to the Heaven Dao Realm just like that?!” Stout shouted again.

“That’s fantastic!” White Tiger and Judge beamed with joy.

Harleen and Casey also showed signs of happiness on their faces.

“The Sky-Splitting Pill truly lives up to its name,” Amber said with a smile.

“Indeed,” Billy nodded and looked at Stout. “Stout, distribute a Sky-Splitting Pill to everyone. Use this time to refine it; I’ll keep watch.”

Everyone hesitated for a moment.

“Boss, our levels are still low. Isn’t it a waste to refine the Sky-Splitting Pill now?” Azure Fang asked.

“Yeah, Boss. Let Harleen and Opal refine them first. We can continue refining beast cores and Spirit Fruits. We should break through in a few days,” Azure Dragon added.

Casey and the others also voiced that refining the Sky-Splitting Pill now would be wasteful.

“Sacred Hall Sect won’t give us much time. They might attack soon,” Billy said. “We can always make more Sky-Splitting Pills. Refine this batch now and boost your cultivation.”

“Alright then,” everyone agreed without further objection.

Each person took a Sky-Splitting Pill and found a place to start refining it.

If outsiders saw these early-stage Perceiving Dao Realm individuals refining high-purity Sky-Splitting Pills, they would be astonished. Such precious items were being consumed like common pills!

The efficacy of the Sky-Splitting Pill was undeniable, especially those enhanced by Billy’s Essence Blood. They were far more beneficial than any other pills or beast cores they had refined before.

A few hours later, with Billy’s help, everyone broke through without any issues, most experiencing significant improvements.

Harleen, like Billy, endured the tribulation and successfully stepped into the first-rank Heaven Dao Realm. Ivy, Opal, and Aubree reached the half-step Heaven Dao Realm, just a step away from breaking through completely. Casey, Stout, and Amber advanced to the eighth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm, with Stout nearly stepping into the ninth-rank Sacred Realm. Azure Dragon and Azure Fang advanced three levels to the sixth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm, while Felicia, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger reached the fifth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm. Night Orchid and Frostblade made even more dramatic progress, entering the fourth-rank Perceiving Dao Realm.

Everyone’s combat power increased significantly once again.

For the next two days, everyone stayed in the Gathering Spirit Array to consolidate their cultivation.

“Boss, the beauty from Mysterious Hall Sect is here again!” Judge and Soul Chaser approached as Billy and the others chatted in the plaza on the third morning.

Behind them were two people: the familiar woman in plain clothes and Elder Mikhi.

“Mr. Billy, long time no see!” Lacey Allison, the woman in plain clothes, greeted Billy with a slight bow.

“I didn’t realize you were the Young Lady of Mysterious Hall Sect last time,” Billy said calmly.

“Allow me to formally introduce myself. I’m Lacey Allison,” she smiled lightly.

“A pleasure,” Billy responded.

“Mr. Billy, you never cease to amaze me,” Lacey Allison continued. “You managed to topple Hades’ stronghold. Impressive!”

She wasn’t just flattering him. A few days ago, when she heard about it, she was utterly incredulous. She knew Abyss City’s strength well. Hades was a genuine Entering Emptiness Realm expert, his deputy was half-step into Entering Emptiness Realm, and there were many late-stage Heaven Dao Realm individuals under them. But Billy had uprooted Hades’ power with just a dozen or so Perceiving Dao Realm comrades. If Elder Mikhi hadn’t told her, she wouldn’t have believed it. It was unbelievable!

“Just lucky,” Billy replied. “So, what brings you here this time?”

“I’m here to discuss cooperation with you,” Lacey Allison said.

“What kind of cooperation?” Billy asked.

“According to our information, Sacred Hall Sect’s leader has recently summoned all their experts back to their headquarters,” Lacey Allison continued. “In two or three days at most, Sacred Hall Sect will arrive in Great Blue City.”

“And then?” Billy prompted.

“Do you know what level Sacred Hall Sect’s leader is?” Lacey Allison asked.

“Third-rank or fourth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm?” Billy guessed.

“Your information is accurate,” Lacey Allison nodded. “He’s half-step into fourth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm.”

Before Billy could respond, she continued, “Moreover, besides Hades, the other two kings of Sacred Hall Sect are also first-rank Entering Emptiness Realm experts. In addition to these three Entering Emptiness Realm experts, Sacred Hall Sect has nearly thirty Heaven Dao Realm experts, including ten late-stage Heaven Dao Realm individuals.”

Hearing this, Stout and Judge choked simultaneously. Was it really that exaggerated? Compared to the Sacred Hall Sect, the former Domain Lord’s Mansion was nothing!

“You haven’t mentioned how we would cooperate,” Billy said.

He was naturally surprised. Although he had anticipated Sacred Hall Sect’s strength, he hadn’t expected it to be this overwhelming!

“I’ll be blunt; with your current strength, if Sacred Hall Sect attacks with full force, you stand no chance,” Lacey Allison continued. “If Mr. Billy agrees, our Mysterious Hall Sect can help you fend off part of Sacred Hall Sect’s forces.”

“And what’s the condition?” Billy asked.

He knew there was no such thing as a free lunch.

“The condition is simple: Mr. Billy must agree to take our Mysterious Hall Sect members to the City of the Dead,” Lacey Allison stated.

“Tsk tsk, Young Lady, your plan is quite clever,” Stout smacked his lips again. “You offer to help us fend off Sacred Hall Sect while actually clearing your own rivals. And we have to be grateful for it.”

“Then you send people with us to the City of the Dead and kill us there. That way, Mysterious Hall Sect becomes the biggest winner!”

“Such a devious plan couldn’t have been your idea alone?”

Not only Stout but Casey and Harleen also considered this possibility. For Mysterious Hall Sect, it would be killing two birds with one stone!

“This young brother is joking,” Lacey Allison smiled faintly. “First of all, our Mysterious Hall Sect genuinely wants to be friends with Mr. Billy; otherwise, we wouldn’t have sent our fourth hall master to assist last time.”

“Secondly, I’m not boasting; if Mysterious Hall Sect wanted to take it by force, it would be hard for you all to resist.”

“Additionally, for Mysterious Hall Sect, your movements in this star domain are no secret.”

“Unless you never go to the City of the Dead, we’ll find out eventually.”

“So you’re determined to have us?” Azure Dragon asked.

“I sincerely want to be friends with you all…” Lacey Allison added.

“Deal!” Billy interrupted her. “Destroy Sacred Hall Sect first; then I’ll take you to the City of the Dead!”
