Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

Before long, Billy entered the City Lord’s Mansion with Harleen, Ivy, and Stout.

“Greetings, Mr. Billy!” A group of Blade and Sword Sect members quickly approached.

“Tell me about the situation here,” Billy said with a nod.

“Alright!” One of the Sword Sect men responded.

“About ten days ago, after Elder Jimmy arrived in Great Green City, the people from the City Lord’s Mansion fled, and the city fell into chaos.”

“For the first few days, Elder Jimmy stayed at the City Lord’s Mansion, and during that time, the city remained relatively stable.”

“Although some sects were secretly plotting, they didn’t dare to cause trouble openly.”

“However, a few days ago, Elder Jimmy received a message from the Institute saying that things were also getting chaotic there.”

“Some mentors at the Institute were fighting over resources, leading to serious internal conflicts.”

“So Jimmy went to the Institute, and since he left the City Lord’s Mansion, some unruly forces in the city have emerged.”

“We are short-handed and overwhelmed, which has led to the current situation.”

“Is Yheng Institute not in Great Green City?” Ivy asked.

“No,” the man shook his head. “The Institute is located on a mountain ten thousand miles away from Great Green City.”

“Send a message to Jimmy and ask about the current situation at the Institute,” Billy instructed.

“Alright!” The man nodded and took out a sound transmission stone.

“Where is the Array Alliance?” Billy asked another person.

“In the west of the city,” the man replied.

“I’ll visit the Array Alliance. Contact me if anything comes up,” Billy said.

“Mr. Billy, many people in the Array Alliance are very skilled with arrays. Be careful,” the man cautioned.

“Understood,” Billy said and left with Harleen and the others.

About twenty minutes later, the four of them landed at the entrance of a large estate. The towering gate bore the words ‘Array Alliance’ in bold calligraphy.

The main building inside had a unique design, resembling a giant mechanical beast crouching in the estate.

Billy released his spiritual power to probe around and sensed formation lines fluctuating around the estate.

“Who are you?” One of the guards at the gate asked as he looked at Billy and his companions.

“We’re here to see Joe White. Can you inform him?” Billy said calmly.

Joe White was someone they had encountered in the Star Domain Chasm.

“Looking for Cornelius White?” The guard was slightly taken aback. “What do you want with him?”

“Yes,” Billy nodded.

“Cornelius White isn’t here. You should leave,” the man said dismissively, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

“I suggest you inform him unless you want trouble,” Stout warned.

“Didn’t you hear me? I said Elder White isn’t here!” The man’s brows furrowed.

“Then call your alliance head. I need to speak with him,” Billy said again calmly.

“Who do you think you are? Our alliance head isn’t someone you can just meet,” the man sneered at Billy.

“Boss, this Array Alliance doesn’t seem impressive,” Stout remarked to Billy.

“If you keep causing trouble here, don’t blame me for being rude!” The man threatened again.

Before he could finish speaking, Stout raised his hand and sent a gust of wind that knocked the man off his feet.

“You deserved that,” Stout said with a smirk.

“You dare cause trouble at the Array Alliance? You’re courting death!” The other three guards charged at them simultaneously.

After a few muffled sounds, all three were sent flying and landed on the ground, rolling several times before stopping.

“Boss, let’s go in,” Stout said.

“Alright,” Billy nodded and led them into the estate.

For him, coming to Great Green City was mainly to visit the Array Alliance, so he wouldn’t leave just because of a few guards’ obstruction.

As they walked less than a hundred meters into the courtyard, an aura burst out around them.

Suddenly, they found themselves in an unfamiliar environment surrounded by mist with visibility only a few dozen meters. There was nothing in sight.

Billy tried using his spiritual power but found it ineffective; it was severely obstructed.

“This Array Alliance is quite interesting,” Stout said as he looked around before turning to Ivy. “Sis, can you break this array?”

“It shouldn’t be too difficult. Let me try,” Ivy nodded slightly.

Before she could finish her sentence, they heard a faint whistling sound from all directions.

The next moment, arrows flew at them from all sides, densely packed and overwhelming.

A powerful aura burst from Billy’s body and spread rapidly, shattering the arrows like paper.

However, the arrows kept coming wave after wave, seemingly endless.

“Billy, give me a few minutes,” Ivy said to Billy.

“Alright,” Billy nodded slightly. He then formed a barrier with his hand to shield them.

The arrows shattered one by one against the barrier.

“Billy, it’s done!” Ivy said after about four or five minutes.

As she spoke, she flashed out of the barrier and disappeared into the mist.

Soon after, an aura burst out in space, and their surroundings returned to normal. They were still near the courtyard entrance.

“Hmm?!”

A surprised voice came from not far away.

A group of people emerged from the main building, led by an old man in a green robe with half-step Perfection Emptiness Realm cultivation. About twenty or thirty people followed him.

“To break this array so easily, you must not be ordinary people. State your names,” the old man said as he approached them.

“A simple illusion array isn’t difficult,” Ivy replied calmly.

“Who are you?” The old man’s brows furrowed slightly.

The array wasn’t complicated but breaking it so easily indicated they were knowledgeable about arrays.

“We’re looking for Joe White,” Billy said without addressing his question.

“Looking for Joe White?” The old man was slightly taken aback. “What do you want with him?”

“My patience is limited. Don’t waste my time,” Billy said again.

“Insolent!” Another gray-robed elder spoke coldly. “This is Array Alliance. Don’t court trouble!”

“Not willing to call him?” Billy looked at him.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
