Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

The layout of the city was even better than that of Great Blue City.

Both the width of the streets and the scale of the shops were superior to those in Great Blue City.

However, the entire city appeared dilapidated, with most buildings collapsed and ruins everywhere.

Weeds grew in the streets and shops, and there were various pits in many places, along with occasional skeletal remains.

“There must have been intense battles here once,” Azure Dragon remarked, looking at the bones.

“Years ago, the City of the Dead vanished mysteriously into the endless starry sky. The reason remains unknown, but it seems they encountered a formidable enemy,” an elder from Mysterious Hall Sect nodded.

“Wasn’t the City of the Dead the Domain Lord’s Mansion of this third-tier star domain?” Bob asked.

“It should have been the strongest presence here. How could someone destroy the entire city? Who had such power?”

“Not sure,” the elder shook his head slightly.

“Grand Elder, have you ever heard of any powerful forces in this third-tier star domain besides the Domain Lord’s Mansion?” Bob turned to Bowen.

“For example, in the Great Blue Star Domain, your Mysterious Hall Sect and Sacred Hall Sect are far stronger than David Roth’s Domain Lord’s Mansion.”

“Never heard of any,” Bowen shook his head simultaneously.

“According to records, the Domain Lord’s Mansion of the City of the Dead was the absolute ruler in this third-tier star domain. No force was stronger than them.”

“Sacred Hall Sect and our Mysterious Hall Sect only grew stronger after something happened to the City of the Dead!”

“Back then, our two sects were like dwarfs compared to this Domain Lord’s Mansion, completely incomparable!”

“That’s strange,” Bob said again. “Who could have destroyed this place?”

“And this city must have had a population of at least tens of millions. Where did all those people go? They couldn’t all be dead, right?”

“Don’t know,” Bowen shook his head again.

“Young Lady, if I’m not mistaken, Mysterious Hall Sect and Sacred Hall Sect are here for the ‘Star Domain Chasm,’ right?” Billy suddenly asked Lacey Allison. “Mr. Billy knows about the ‘Star Domain Chasm’?” Lacey Allison was slightly surprised, as were others from the Mysterious Hall Sect.

They always thought that besides the Sacred Hall Sect and Mysterious Hall Sect, even David Roth might not know about the ‘Star Domain Chasm.’

“I’ve heard a bit,” Billy smiled faintly.

“Young Lady, since everyone is here in the City of the Dead, why don’t you tell us what you know about the ‘Star Domain Chasm’?” Stout looked at Lacey Allison.

“Actually, we don’t know much about the ‘Star Domain Chasm’ either,” Lacey Allison responded.

“We only heard that there might be a passage leading to a mid-tier star domain in this City of the Dead. But we don’t know what kind of passage it is or where it is.”

“And then?” Stout pressed.

“That’s all,” Lacey Allison replied.

“That’s it?” Stout was stunned.

“That’s it,” Lacey Allison nodded.

Casey and others: “…”

“So what are you planning to do next? Just search aimlessly?” Fat Officer asked.

“It seems there’s no better way,” Lacey Allison shrugged.

After speaking, she looked at Billy. “Mr. Billy, there should be many treasures in the Domain Lord’s Mansion. You can go take a look.”

“You don’t want them?” White Tiger asked.

“Sir, no need to test us,” Elder Mikhi smiled faintly.

“The Young Lady has already told Mr. Billy that our Mysterious Hall Sect will not touch any treasures here. Those things rightfully belong to you.”

“You better not go back on your word!” White Tiger continued. “There might be many advanced martial arts techniques in there!”

“You jest!” Elder Mikhi responded with a smile.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“If you need advanced martial arts techniques, you can visit Mysterious Hall Sect next time. You can choose freely from our library.”

“I believe our techniques won’t be inferior to those here!”

“Deal. Don’t regret it later!” White Tiger replied.

“Rest assured, we won’t!” Elder Mikhi smiled again.

“Mr. Billy, we and Grand Elder will explore around first. We’ll meet back here in half a month. How about that?” Lacey Allison asked Billy.

“Alright,” Billy nodded.

“This place might not be so simple. Be careful,” Lacey Allison added.

“Thanks for the reminder,” Billy replied.

Then, Lacey Allison led her group from Mysterious Hall Sect away after bidding farewell to Billy’s group.

“Boss, I feel like they didn’t tell us everything,” Casey said thoughtfully after Lacey Allison’s group left.

“Most likely,” Azure Dragon replied and looked at Billy. “Boss, should we follow them?”

“No need,” Billy shook his head.

“Their target should be that passage. If such a passage exists in this city, we should be able to find it too.”

“And from what Mr. Bowman said, that passage might not be simple. Let them try first.”

“Understood,” Azure Dragon nodded.

“Let’s go check out the Domain Lord’s Mansion!” Billy said as he led everyone deeper into the city.

Although they already had plenty of spirit stones and cultivation resources in their storage rings, since they were in the City of the Dead, they naturally wanted to explore the Domain Lord’s Mansion’s treasury. After all, who would complain about having too many treasures?

Along the way, there were skeletal remains everywhere.

Occasionally, they encountered some beast attacks, but the strongest were only early-stage Perceiving Dao Realm beasts, merely delivering beast cores to them.

After about an hour, they arrived at a large manor gate.

Although most buildings inside had collapsed, many palaces remained intact, clearly indicating it was the Domain Lord’s Mansion.

The Domain Lord’s Mansion covered a vast area, the largest they had seen so far.

After half an hour of searching, they found the treasury at the back of the Domain Lord’s Mansion.

It was a circular building covering nearly two thousand square meters and about thirty meters high with three floors.

For some reason-perhaps due to its distance from the main hall or other factors-the treasury and five or six surrounding buildings remained intact.

Soon, they entered through the first-floor gate.

Inside was a circular open space with nothing in it and four closed rooms around it.

Stout opened one of the nearest room doors.

Seeing what was inside, Stout couldn’t help but gasp.

Not only him but Casey and others also showed expressions of amazement.

The room was about two or three hundred square meters with several shelves holding various boxes filled with spirit stones-all sovereign-grade spirit stones.

“There must be at least a million spirit stones here!” Stout exclaimed. “Just enough to make up for the million spirit stones we gave Natasha.”

Without waiting for others to respond, he started working busily.

A few minutes later, all spirit stones in the room were stored in his storage ring, even taking the boxes.
