Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

Everyone knew that in at most a month, Great Green City would face a fierce battle. The most urgent need was to improve their cultivation.

As for cultivation resources, there was no need to worry. Besides the massive resources already in everyone’s storage rings, the remaining twenty high-purity low-grade Spirit Essence Pills were enough to help them break through one or two levels.

Additionally, the high-level Shadow Beast cores they had harvested were almost as effective as the Spirit Essence Pills. Moreover, everyone was cultivating within a high-level Gathering Spirit Array.

The results were predictable. In less than twenty days, everyone emerged from the Gathering Spirit Array, looking refreshed and stable in their aura.

In fact, around the tenth day, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Felicia had already come out once. Under the effect of the high-purity low-grade Spirit Essence Pill, they each faced Thunder Tribulation and successfully broke through to the Entering Emptiness Realm.

After twenty days, Harleen had broken through to the seventh-rank Entering Emptiness Realm. Ivy and Opal reached the sixth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm. Casey, Stout, and Amber advanced to the fifth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm. Azure Dragon, Azure Fang, Ian Blade, and Bob reached the fourth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm. Vermilion Bird and White Tiger not only broke through to the Entering Emptiness Realm but also advanced to the second-rank Entering Emptiness Realm. Frostblade and Night Orchid also broke through to the Entering Emptiness Realm.

Thus, everyone had entered the Entering Emptiness Realm!

As for Billy himself, there was no suspense. With the help of his bloodline power, he absorbed the Spirit Essence Pills and high-level beast cores at an astonishing rate, advancing almost every five or six days. After twenty days, he smoothly reached the eighth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm.

Of course, their rapid advancement was also greatly aided by the Gathering Spirit Array set up by Billy; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so exaggerated.

In the following days, while consolidating their cultivation, everyone began to practice martial skills. Billy and Harleen focused on the Realm of Swords and Blades. With their cultivation improving, their understanding of the Realm of Swords and Blades deepened, and they could almost form their own Realm of Swords and Blades in form. Its power remained to be seen.

Under Billy’s guidance, Casey began practicing the Phantom Blade Technique. With his natural talent in blade techniques, he easily grasped its essence. Ivy, Opal, and Amber also made further progress in the Phantom Sword Technique, reaching a minor achievement level.

One morning, Billy and his group took a break from their training and chatted in the courtyard.

They hadn’t spoken much when a terrifying pressure enveloped the entire area as if it were about to collapse. Many citizens near the City Lord’s Mansion shivered involuntarily, their faces filled with horror.

“Billy, come out and face your death!”

A man’s voice echoed from above, deafeningly loud.

“The ones seeking death have finally arrived!” White Tiger remarked upon hearing this.

“Let’s go see which faction arrived first!” Billy said as he led everyone into the air.

Soon, they saw two groups of about twenty people each coming into view. The leaders were two elderly men, one in a gray robe and the other in a green robe.

Billy roughly assessed their cultivation; both were at the eighth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm. Besides them, there were nearly ten warriors at the early to mid stages of Perfection Emptiness Realm, with the strongest at fifth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm. The rest were at the Entering Emptiness Realm.

“Right on time!” Billy remarked as the two groups approached.

“Are you Billy?” The green-robed elder scrutinized Billy. “Did you kill members of the Osborn family?”

“Osborn family?” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the gray-robed elder. “Then you must be from the Moore family?”

He hadn’t expected that the first factions to arrive in Great Green City would be from two major families.

“Billy, you have some nerve!” The gray-robed elder glared at Billy coldly. “Daring to oppose both the Moore family and the Osborn family simultaneously; today is your death day. If you know what’s good for you…”

“Hold on a moment!” Stout interrupted. “Did you bring any special treasures from the fifth-tier star domain in your storage rings? We need to decide whether it’s worth fighting you.”

“How dare you speak here?” A man from the opposing side shouted angrily at Stout.

“A bunch of idiots!” Judge sneered at them. “We’ve been waiting for almost a month, hoping to catch some big fish but ended up with small fry. How boring!”

“Don’t worry; there will be big fish later. Let’s deal with these small fry first,” Soul Chaser replied with a faint smile.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“You arrogant brats! I hope you can still laugh later!” The gray-robed elder glared at Judge and Soul Chaser before turning back to Billy with a stern voice. “Destroy your own cultivation and surrender; maybe you’ll have a chance to live. Otherwise, you and everyone around you will die!”

“What big talk!” At that moment, a woman’s voice came from nearby.

As her words fell, a group of people flew over from not far away.

Leading them was Maisy Cooper from the Cooper family, accompanied by more than ten people. The strongest among them was an elderly woman with white hair, also at eighth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm.

“Miss Cooper?” Judge and Soul Chaser exclaimed in surprise.

“Mr. Billy, we meet again!” Maisy Cooper smiled as she approached Billy.

“You came to Great Green City too?” Billy smiled faintly.

“Since both families are here, I naturally had to join in,” Maisy Cooper replied with another smile.

“Are you from the Cooper family?” The gray-robed elder asked Maisy Cooper.

“A month ago, your Moore family killed many of our Cooper family members in Cloudhaven City. Today we’ll settle that score!” The white-haired elderly woman responded coldly.

“I’m surprised that the Cooper family has time to meddle in Great Green City’s affairs,” remarked the green-robed elder. “I would have thought your main family would be in chaos by now.”

“Sorry to disappoint you,” Maisy Cooper replied calmly.

“Oh really?” The green-robed elder sneered coldly. “Are you planning to interfere today?”

“Old man, stop wasting time!” Stout shouted before Maisy Cooper could respond. “Show me your storage rings!”

With that, he charged forward.
