Chapter 1943: Trouble Strikes Again

Book:Lord Came Back From The Battlefield Published:2024-8-27

“Damn it!”
The old woman sensed a dense aura of death once more, her pupils shrinking to the size of pinholes in an instant.
There was no time for her to think. A pitch-black rift in the void swept towards her like lightning.
In haste, the old woman quickly formed hand seals and unleashed a powerful blast.
A loud explosion echoed, and the void at the center of the blast shattered inch by inch. A figure was thrown a thousand meters away-it was the old woman.
Already injured, she clearly couldn’t withstand Billy’s strike. Her combat power dropped significantly, with more than half of her meridians severed.
Before she could fully recover, a sharp sword light was already upon her-Harleen had made her move.
The old woman frowned and instinctively raised her hand to block.
The sword light flashed by, and an arm flew off, blood gushing out as her figure was sent flying again.
“We will meet again!”
The old woman roared in anger before disappearing without a trace.
“Let’s see where you run!”
As Purple Spirit spoke, a powerful source energy burst forth, enveloping an area of twenty to thirty kilometers.
“Billy, wait for me!” Purple Spirit said quickly before charging forward.
“Purple Spirit, don’t chase!” Billy shouted.
“I can catch up!” Purple Spirit responded.
“Forget it, it’s pointless. Let’s head back to Great Blue City first!” Billy said again.
He knew very well that even a heavily injured half-step Entering Emptiness Realm expert would have life-saving measures. If the opponent was determined to escape, it would be hard to catch up.
Moreover, even if they did catch up, it wouldn’t mean much. The opponent’s identity was almost certain-they were from the Mysterious Hall Sect. Catching up would only mean killing one more person.
On the other hand, although he hadn’t received any messages from Casey and the others, he had an inexplicable feeling of unease and wanted to hurry back.
“Alright!” Purple Spirit said before turning into a purple flame and merging into Billy’s body.
“It seems we’ve underestimated the strength of the two sects!” Harleen approached Billy, her tone heavy.
“Judging from that person’s skills just now, there are definitely true Entering Emptiness Realm experts in those two sects, probably more than one or two!”
The three of them had teamed up against a half-step Entering Emptiness Realm opponent and still let them escape. If they encountered a true Entering Emptiness Realm expert, the outcome would be uncertain.
“Yes,” Billy nodded.
“Our cultivation is still too low. If we could break through to the Heaven Dao Realm, we might stand a chance!”
With that, he led Harleen towards the teleportation passage.
Two hours later, the two of them appeared at the entrance of the Domain Lord’s Mansion.
“Why isn’t there a single guard?” Harleen frowned slightly as she looked at the empty entrance.
“Something’s wrong!” Billy said before quickly walking inside.
As they entered the courtyard, their hearts sank simultaneously.
The courtyard was filled with signs of battle. Several palaces had been reduced to rubble, and bodies lay scattered on the ground-either dead or severely injured.
Most of them were people from Phoenix City and the original Domain Lord’s Mansion, but there were also some unfamiliar faces, likely from the Sacred Hall Sect.
Judging by the scene, the battle had ended not long ago.
“Boss!”
Soon, Casey and Opal arrived with Azure Dragon and Azure Fang.
Billy looked around and saw that everyone was covered in wounds, their combat power reduced to less than thirty or forty percent, their energy extremely weak.
“Where are the others?” Billy asked with a frown as he quickly approached.
“Bob, Ian, and Night Orchid are seriously injured and are healing inside,” Casey said after taking a deep breath.
“Ivy and Stout were taken by people from the Sacred Hall Sect!”
“What?” A cold killing intent emanated from Billy.
“Mr. Kimmons, what exactly happened?” Harleen asked after taking a deep breath.
“Weren’t the strongest people sent by the Sacred Hall Sect only an eighth-rank Heaven Dao Realm expert and a seventh-rank Heaven Dao Realm expert? Couldn’t White Feather handle them?”
“White Feather is also severely injured!” Casey exhaled before explaining everything to them.
It took about fifteen minutes to recount the events.
At first, the strongest people sent by the Sacred Hall Sect were indeed only an eighth-rank Heaven Dao Realm expert and a seventh-rank Heaven Dao Realm expert.
Besides them, there were five or six other mid-stage Heaven Dao Realm experts among their ranks.
When the battle began, White Feather engaged the two strongest opponents, their combat power evenly matched.
Three other mid-stage Heaven Dao Realm experts were jointly attacked by Poppy and three other Heaven Dao Realm experts on their side.
The remaining two early-stage Heaven Dao Realm opponents were overwhelmed by Casey, Ivy, Opal, and others working together.
Because of this, Casey didn’t send a message to Billy initially.
The battle lasted for over half an hour. Although there were some casualties on their side, they managed to kill all the Sacred Hall Sect members, including their two strongest fighters.
However, before they could heal their wounds, more people from the Sacred Hall Sect arrived.
This time, their leader was a late-stage ninth-rank Heaven Dao Realm expert, accompanied by two seventh-rank Heaven Dao Realm followers.
Upon seeing their fallen comrades, they attacked without any words.
Another fierce battle ensued!
For those who had just experienced a major battle, the result was obvious!
In less than fifteen minutes, everyone on their side, including White Feather and Poppy, was severely injured with no chance to resist!
There wasn’t even time for Casey to send a message. Even if he had, it wouldn’t have helped much given the circumstances.
“And then?” Harleen asked urgently. “Why did they take Ivy and Stout?”
“It has to do with their purpose for coming to Great Blue City!” Azure Dragon explained.
“We learned from the first wave of attackers that they came to Great Blue City looking for a fragmentary formula for the ‘Sky-Splitting Pill’!”
“Great Blue City has a fragmentary formula for the ‘Sky-Splitting Pill’?” Harleen was taken aback.
“Yes,” Azure Dragon nodded.
“We only just found out that David Roth had a secret vault outside the Domain Lord’s Mansion containing many rare treasures, including that fragmentary formula!”
“Apparently, that formula was passed down from David Roth’s ancestor. He had been trying to refine the Sky-Splitting Pill for years but never succeeded due to the incomplete formula.”
“The three people who arrived later from the Sacred Hall Sect were looking for that formula and eventually found it!”
“And then?” Billy asked.
“Ivy knew they had found the fragmentary formula and proposed that if they spared everyone in the Domain Lord’s Mansion, she might be able to help them complete it,” Casey continued.
“Ivy was obviously stalling for time!” Harleen interjected. “Why would they believe her so easily?”
“They didn’t at first,” Casey replied.
“But Ivy and Stout demonstrated their alchemy skills on the spot and showed them some high-grade Elemental Pills and Chi Condensing Pills they had recently refined. The opponents reluctantly believed them!”
“For them, refining the Sky-Splitting Pill was clearly more important, so they stopped attacking and took Ivy and Stout away.”
“Sacred Hall Sect!” A cold fury emanated from Billy.
