Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“I’ll give you one last chance to tell the truth!”

Billy narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing the flicker of unease in the man’s gaze.

“No… no, I really don’t know…” The man shook his head again.

“Execute him!” Billy said in a deep voice.

“Understood!” Azure Dragon responded.

“Wait… I’ll talk… I’ll talk…” The man hurriedly shouted.

“Yesterday, some people from the Beast Wranglers’ Alliance in the fifth-tier star domain came to our Heaven Cloud Sect. They are acquaintances of the Sect Master from the fifth-tier star domain…”

“This morning, they went with the Sect Master and several elders to Yheng Institute…”

“To Yheng Institute?” Billy frowned slightly. “What are they planning to do?”

“They seem to be eyeing the vast cultivation resources in Yheng Institute and want to take over the Institute…” The man explained again.

“What are the cultivation levels of those from the Beast Wranglers’ Alliance?” Azure Dragon asked.

“I don’t know…” The man shook his head. “I really don’t know…”

“Execute him!” Billy frowned slightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Azure Dragon swung his blade, and a head flew into the air.

“Harleen, send a message to Opal. Tell them to meet us at the City Lord’s Mansion immediately. We’re heading to the Institute!” Billy then turned to Harleen.

“Got it!” Harleen responded, taking out a sound transmission stone.

A few minutes later, the group headed towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

When they arrived, Opal and her group had just arrived as well.

“Mr. Billy!” A disciple from Sword Sect approached upon seeing Billy.

“Has Jimmy sent any messages?” Billy asked.

“Not yet!” The man shook his head. “Elder Jimmy might be busy with something and hasn’t responded yet…”

“Take us to the Institute immediately!” Billy interrupted him.

“Right now?” The man was slightly taken aback.

“Now!” Billy nodded, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

“Understood!” The man responded.

Led by the man, the group hurried towards the Institute.

Yheng Institute was located on a mountain peak thousands of miles west of Great Green City. Traveling at full speed, it took them less than half an hour to reach a point several kilometers away from Yheng Institute.

“Boss, it looks like the people from Heaven Cloud Sect have already made their move!” White Tiger frowned slightly.

Not only him, but everyone, including Billy, noticed something amiss. Hundreds of different types of flying beasts were circling in the sky four or five kilometers away.

Additionally, there was significant commotion in the forest on that mountain peak. Giant trees swayed and many were broken in half.

“Let’s go check it out!” Billy said before quickly heading towards the sky above the Institute.

Meanwhile, chaos reigned within the courtyard of Yheng Institute.

Thousands of students had rushed out of their rooms and were battling numerous flying beasts and ferocious creatures.

Although the students of the Institute were talented geniuses selected from various forces within Great Green Star Domain and were exceptional compared to ordinary warriors, they were still students. Overall, their cultivation levels were not particularly high.

The most elite students had mid-level Entering Emptiness Realm skills, while most were below Entering Emptiness Realm.

Among the flying beasts and ferocious creatures present, at least a quarter were Shadow Beast level, with many being advanced Shadow Beasts.

As a result, from the start of the battle until now, three to four hundred Institute students lay on the ground, either dead or severely injured.

Moreover, the number of flying beasts and ferocious creatures continued to increase. At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before the Institute fell.

At the same time, Jimmy Acevedo was being besieged by over a dozen high-level Shadow Beasts. Numerous beast corpses lay around him.

Despite being at fourth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm, these Shadow Beasts were at least eighth-tier. More importantly, their resilience far exceeded that of warriors at the same level, and they were numerous.

Thus, despite his strength, Jimmy Acevedo had sustained many injuries. His Chi power was greatly depleted, leaving him with only seventy to eighty percent of his combat strength.

Furthermore, although no other individuals had appeared besides these flying beasts and ferocious creatures, he could clearly sense several powerful presences hidden nearby, some of which were Perfection Emptiness Realm level.

These were just those he could detect; he couldn’t be sure if there were others he couldn’t sense.

Jimmy Acevedo thrust his sword through the throat of a high-level Shadow Beast, causing it to collapse.

Howl!

At that moment, the remaining Shadow Beasts roared simultaneously and charged at Jimmy Acevedo without hesitation. Their massive bodies shook the ground as they advanced.

“Damn it!” Jimmy Acevedo cursed under his breath as he found himself surrounded with no escape route. He could only defend by attacking.

Although he could still muster second-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm strength, there were too many Shadow Beasts with extremely high resilience.

After a fierce battle, he managed to slay nearly ten Shadow Beasts but at great cost to his Chi power, reducing his combat strength by another twenty percent.

Before he could catch his breath, a Shadow Beast rammed into him directly.

Though it didn’t break his defensive aura, it sent him flying three to four hundred meters away. He crashed to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Howl!

The remaining Shadow Beasts didn’t pause. Two charged towards him and leaped into the air like eagles swooping down on their prey as they neared Jimmy Acevedo.

Still struggling to get up, Jimmy Acevedo found himself unable to dodge. His pupils shrank to pinpoints in fear.

At that moment, a blade light flashed like lightning from a distance, cutting through everything in its path. Two beast heads flew into the air with blood spraying everywhere.

Immediately after, two headless bodies fell heavily near Jimmy Acevedo and twitched a few times before going still.

The blade light didn’t stop. As soon as two Shadow Beasts fell, several more sharp blade lights flashed by.

The remaining three or four Shadow Beasts didn’t have time to flee before they all collapsed, each decapitated with a single strike.

“Mr. Billy?!”

Seeing Billy and his group arriving through the air, Jimmy Acevedo exclaimed in surprise.

“Attack!” Billy signaled Harleen and the others from mid-air.

“Understood!” They responded in unison and spread out in different directions.

Billy had already roughly assessed the remaining flying beasts and ferocious creatures on site.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Besides those besieging Jimmy Acevedo, the strongest were four eighth-tier Shadow Beasts and two seventh-tier Shadow Beasts.

The four eighth-tier Divine Beasts were engaged in an evenly matched battle with two second-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm elders from Sword Sect.

As for the two seventh-tier Shadow Beasts, Billy wasn’t worried. With Harleen’s current strength, slaying such beasts wasn’t too difficult anymore.

Billy then descended next to Jimmy Acevedo. “Jimmy, how are you?”
