Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“Forget it!” Billy’s mouth twitched slightly.

“I don’t have much time to manage the academy, and I won’t be spending much time in the Great Blue Star Domain.”

He was supposed to be the next dean of Canyon View Institute, but he hadn’t returned since he left last time.

“No worries, it’s just a nominal position. The daily management won’t require your attention,” Natasha Sutton continued.

“Do as you wish,” Billy replied, taking out twenty Sky-Splitting Pills from his storage ring and handing them to Natasha Sutton. “By the way, you’re just in time. These pills are for you.”

“What are these?” Natasha Sutton was slightly stunned and then exclaimed in surprise, “Mr. Billy, are these Sky-Splitting Pills?”

“Yes,” Billy nodded. “I made them myself. The purity should be slightly higher than usual. Keep some for yourself and send a few to the east domain.”

Natasha Sutton and Poppy both gasped.

Twenty high-purity Sky-Splitting Pills! And they were made by Billy himself?!

“Mr. Billy, did you really restore the formula for the Sky-Splitting Pills?” Poppy asked.

She knew that Hades had sent people to Great Blue City to steal the Sky-Splitting Pill formula some time ago. But that was only a partial formula. She had no idea how Billy managed to restore the complete formula.

To her knowledge, no one had been able to make Sky-Splitting Pills for at least a thousand years.

“It wasn’t us who restored it. I got the other half of the formula,” Billy smiled and briefly explained Old Alfie’s story to them.

“I see!” They finally understood.

Natasha Sutton accepted the Sky-Splitting Pills with gratitude. “Thank you, Mr. Billy!”

Twenty Sky-Splitting Pills could help twenty late-stage Perceiving Dao Realm warriors break through to the Heaven Dao Realm, which would be a significant boost for the Domain Lord’s Mansion!

“It’s nothing,” Billy responded.

“Mr. Billy, are you planning to go to the City of the Dead?” Natasha Sutton asked again.

“We’ll set off in three days,” Billy nodded. “I’ll leave the Domain Lord’s Mansion to you for now. Contact me if anything comes up.”

“Alright!” Natasha Sutton paused slightly before continuing, “Mr. Billy, the City of the Dead might be dangerous. Be careful!”

“Understood,” Billy nodded again.

Three days passed quickly.

Early in the morning, Lacey Allison and Elder Mikhi arrived at the Domain Lord’s Mansion with a group of people, only ten in total.

Besides Lacey Allison, the other nine were all late-stage Heaven Dao Realm cultivators or higher.

Bowen and Aiden Rees, whom they had met before, were among them, along with two other hall masters and four elders from the Mysterious Hall Sect’s honorary hall.

“Greetings, Mr. Billy!” Lacey Allison bowed as she approached Billy and his group. “Mr. Billy kept his word. On behalf of the Mysterious Hall Sect, I thank you!”

“No need for thanks. A promise is a promise,” Billy replied.

“Thank you!” Lacey Allison bowed again.

“Young Lady, are you planning to go as well?” Stout asked Lacey Allison. “I’ve heard that the City of the Dead is dangerous. Aren’t you afraid you won’t return?”

“It’s an honor to witness the City of the Dead in my lifetime. Even if I don’t return, I have no regrets,” Lacey Allison replied with a smile.

“Brave indeed. I admire that,” Stout said earnestly.

“Let’s go!” Billy said, leading the group toward the starship station.

There was no teleportation channel to the City of the Dead; they had to take a third-tier starship.

The City of the Dead was outside the Great Blue Star Domain, quite a distance from Great Blue City. Even with a third-tier starship, it would take at least twenty to thirty days one way.

Aydin, an elder from the Mysterious Hall Sect’s honorary hall, piloted the starship. Along the way, everyone focused on their cultivation resources from their storage rings and meditated.

“Everyone, we might have a small problem!”

About twenty days later, Aydin’s somewhat heavy voice reached everyone’s ears.

“Aydin, what’s wrong?” Lacey Allison asked.

“There’s a strong cosmic storm ahead!” Aydin replied.

Hearing this, everyone, including Billy, looked in the direction of the starship’s path.

In their sight, a massive vortex resembling a tornado was rapidly approaching their starship from about a hundred kilometers away.

The storm moved incredibly fast and covered an enormous area, distorting the entire void around it.

Lightning flashed within the vortex as if it intended to split the void apart, and countless fragments of various sizes floated in mid-air.

Although it hadn’t reached them yet, everyone could clearly sense that this storm was several magnitudes stronger than the one they encountered on their way to Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

“Aydin, what are you waiting for? Dodge it quickly!” Stout shouted loudly.

“It’s too late!” Bowen’s face also showed a hint of seriousness. “We might have to withstand this impact.”

“Aydin, can this starship withstand such a storm?” Harleen asked.

“I’m not sure!” Aydin shook his head. “If it were an ordinary second-tier starship, it would be difficult! I don’t know if this third-tier starship can handle it.”

“Everyone, stay alert and be ready to reinforce the starship at any moment!” Billy said after some thought.

“Understood!” Everyone responded simultaneously.

Before they could finish speaking, a powerful shockwave hit the starship, causing it to spin and shoot back a thousand meters. Everyone felt dizzy immediately.

Before they could catch their breath, a medium-sized fragment fell from above and struck the top of the starship with a deafening crash.

The starship plummeted rapidly under the immense impact, causing everyone’s blood to churn almost to the point of vomiting.

Fortunately, the starship was sturdy enough to remain intact under such force.

After descending several hundred meters, Aydin managed to regain control of the starship.

However, everyone’s hearts sank simultaneously.

They were only at the edge of the storm and already experiencing such powerful impacts. What would it be like at the storm’s center?

The worst part was that the storm was rapidly approaching them; there was no way to avoid it.

The only option was to accelerate through it; staying longer in the vortex would be increasingly dangerous.

But could this starship make it through?

“Mr. Billy, we might have to take a gamble!” Bowen said to Billy.

“Yes,” Billy nodded.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Let’s shield together!” Bowen said to three hall masters nearby.

“Alright!” Aiden Rees and two others responded simultaneously.

The four then released their spiritual power to form a barrier around the starship.

“Aydin, full speed ahead!” Bowen instructed Aydin.

“Got it!” Aydin nodded.

Taking a deep breath, he accelerated the starship towards the storm at full speed.
