Chapter 2462: The Person Locked on the Fifth Floor

Book:Lord Came Back From The Battlefield Published:2024-12-8

“Miss Lin, it’s Billy!”
As Billy spoke, he raised his hand to block an incoming attack, nullifying both sides’ offensives.
“Hmm? Why are you here?” At the same time, two women emerged from one of the rooms.
One of them was naturally Miss Janelle from the Gate of Serenity, Janelle Pearson. The sword strike just now was her doing.
The other woman bore a six or seven-tenths resemblance to Janelle Pearson but was even more beautiful, exuding an extraordinary and noble aura.
Undoubtedly, this woman was the eldest daughter of the Gate of Serenity, Ciara Pearson!
Billy quickly assessed their conditions; most of their powers had been sealed, so Janelle Pearson could only use the strength of the Condensed Kun Realm.
“Janelle, do you know this gentleman? Who is he?” Ciara Pearson asked Janelle Pearson with a hint of surprise, glancing at Lawrence Joseph’s soul body with even more astonishment.
“Ciara, he is Mr. Billy!” Janelle Pearson replied, her face also showing surprise.
“So it’s the famous Mr. Billy!” Ciara Pearson turned to Billy and bowed slightly. “Ciara Pearson, pleased to meet you, Mr. Billy!”
It was clear she had heard of Billy’s reputation.
“Miss, you’re too kind,” Billy responded with a faint smile.
“Why are you here?” Janelle Pearson continued to ask. “Did they capture you too?”
“I’m here to rescue you!” Billy smiled again.
“Rescue us?” Janelle Pearson was stunned. “How did you get in? Did Shadow Hall let you in?”
She pointed at Lawrence Joseph’s soul body. “Who is he?”
“Time is tight; let’s talk after we get out,” Billy said with a smile.
“How do we get out?” Janelle Pearson asked. “If we just rush out, we might be obliterated before we reach the manor’s gate…”
Before she could finish speaking, Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the Nine Dragons Cauldron floated into the air.
“Nine Dragons Cauldron?!” Both Ciara and Janelle Pearson were stunned.
“Yes,” Billy nodded. “You two enter the Nine Dragons Cauldron Space, and I’ll take you out.”
“Mr. Billy, Shadow Hall’s high-end combat power is very strong. You alone…” Ciara Pearson hesitated.
“It’s fine, I know what I’m doing. Hurry up and get in!” Billy interrupted her.
“Alright then,” Ciara Pearson said no more.
Soon, after the two sisters entered the Nine Dragons Cauldron Space, Billy followed them in.
He first removed the seals on their bodies and instructed them to stay put and recuperate without wandering around.
Then he returned to the fourth floor.
“Who’s locked on the second and fifth floors?” Billy asked Lawrence Joseph.
Having achieved his goal of entering Shadow Tower, he was in no rush to leave. Even if all of Shadow Hall’s high-end combatants came at him now, he was confident he could retreat safely.
“No one on the second floor,” Lawrence Joseph replied.
“And the fifth floor?” Billy pressed on.
“The fifth floor… also no one…” Lawrence Joseph’s soul body hesitated before responding.
“Still not being honest?” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Dark Puppet opened its mouth, and Lawrence Joseph immediately felt a powerful suction force on him.
“I’ll talk… I’ll talk…” Lawrence Joseph’s soul body cried out in fear.
“I don’t know who it is; Sovereign brought her back from outside…”
“Sovereign said when he found her, she was severely injured, especially her soul consciousness, almost at the brink of death. She didn’t even know who she was.”
“But her skills are really strong. Even while heavily injured, she could exert mid-stage Mystic Kun Realm power.”
“Sovereign locked her here because he feared she would cause trouble once healed…”
“Take me to see her!” Billy interrupted him.
“She’s a bit out of her mind now and attacks anyone she sees, so it’s best not to go…” Lawrence Joseph responded.
“Didn’t you understand me?” Billy interrupted again.
“Alright… let’s go!” Lawrence Joseph said reluctantly.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the fifth floor.
“Mr. Billy, maybe we should forget it? The person locked inside is truly a lunatic.” Lawrence Joseph said again.
“Let’s go in and see!” Billy responded.
Seeing that Billy had made up his mind, Lawrence Joseph stopped persuading him and broke the formation with a hand seal.
As soon as Billy stepped in, a violent force surged towards him like thunder and lightning.
From this momentum, it was clear that the attacker’s power was at least fourth-rank Mystic Kun Realm.
Billy was prepared. With a flip of his wrist, he met the attack with Slaughter Sky.
A loud bang echoed as both offensives nullified each other.
Billy was pushed back several meters by the shockwave and collided with a wall pillar.
If Shadow Tower were an ordinary wooden structure, it would have turned to dust from this impact. Clearly, it remained intact due to the formation’s protection.
Just as Billy steadied himself, a second attack came at him even stronger than before.
“I’m here to save you. If you want to get out of here, you’d better stop!” Billy said as he launched another Slaughter Sky.
After another loud bang, Billy was thrown back again, hitting the wall behind him as Shadow Tower shook slightly.
“You came to save me?” A woman’s voice reached Billy’s ears shortly after.
A young woman appeared not far away. She looked about twenty years old with delicate features and a graceful figure, comparable in beauty to Ciara Pearson. She wore a green dress and had a confused expression on her face, clearly due to her damaged soul consciousness.
“Do you want to get out?” Billy responded.
“Why save me? What’s your purpose…” The woman stopped mid-sentence and pointed at Billy’s abdomen. “Why do you have a cauldron inside you?”
“Hmm?” Billy was taken aback by her words.
She could sense the existence of Nine Dragons Cauldron?!
With his current strength and deliberate concealment of Nine Dragons Cauldron, even late-stage Mystic Kun Realm experts couldn’t detect it easily. Yet she saw it so effortlessly!
“Do you know who you are?” Billy asked after a pause.
“I don’t know…” The woman shook her head. “Can you take me out?”
“I can,” Billy nodded. “Are you willing to come with me?”
Although he didn’t know who she was specifically, her eyes and expression suggested she wasn’t of bad character.
“If you’re willing to take me out, I’ll go with you…” The woman said again.
“Alright then, let’s leave here first!” Billy said as his eyes narrowed slightly. He activated Heavenly Xuan Array Compass to transfer her into Heavenly Xuan Space.
He initially wanted her to enter Nine Dragons Cauldron Space but reconsidered due to her current condition. If she fought with Ciara Pearson and her sister inside, it would be troublesome.
“Let’s go! Time to leave!” Billy then looked at Lawrence Joseph’s soul body and said.
“Okay!” Lawrence Joseph replied.
Soon they reached the first floor. Billy put Dark Puppet back into Nine Dragons Cauldron Space.
With Lawrence Joseph sending out a mark, the barrier at the first-floor entrance disappeared.
Billy walked out while looking at Lawrence Joseph’s soul body. “Thanks. You can call for help now.”
“What do you mean?” Lawrence Joseph was puzzled.
“Aren’t you planning to call people to stop me?” Billy smiled faintly.
