Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

Upon arriving at the Forbidden Ruins Space, the group first headed to Skydragon City.

They spent a day in Skydragon City, catching up with old friends and leaving behind plenty of cultivation resources.

The next morning, they appeared in the Polar Domain.

The Forbidden Ruins Space and Polar Domain were now accessible, thanks to a gateway established by the Guardian Alliance. People from both worlds could travel freely as long as it was for normal interactions.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Billy had discussed this with his mother before leaving Sky City. Many people in the Forbidden Ruins Space had relatives outside. Connecting the two worlds provided a way home for those in the Forbidden Ruins Space and facilitated exchanges between the two worlds.

Billy had no concerns about safety; the evil forces in the Forbidden Ruins Space had been completely overthrown. With the strength of the Guardian Alliance and Skydragon City, controlling the Forbidden Ruins Space was more than manageable.

The group stayed in the City of Angels for an entire day, meeting many old friends, including members of the Arnold family.

A month and a half after departing from the City of the Dead, they finally set foot on their homeland!

Time had flown by quickly. It had been three or four years since Billy rushed back from the Forbidden Ruins Space to resolve the crisis of the Blood and Devil Sects. In those years, everyone had experienced so much, and each person was filled with deep emotions.

Back in Glavale, Billy and Harleen flew towards Ether Mountain.

The others initially wanted to accompany Billy and Harleen to Ether Mountain, but Billy sent them all away, telling them to return to their own homes and reunite with their families.

Billy’s return was partly to see friends and family and partly to allow those around him to spend time with their loved ones. There was still plenty of time; they would regroup at Ether Mountain after visiting their families.

Felicia accompanied Casey back home. They planned to stay at Casey’s house for a month or two before heading to Ether Mountain.

By noon that day, Billy and Harleen arrived at the foot of Ether Mountain.

As they landed, a small figure rushed towards them from behind a small hill. Holding a soft sword, she moved quickly and with considerable momentum.

“Hmm?” Billy and Harleen were both taken aback.

What was going on?

“Dad, Mom, take my strike!” A girl’s voice reached their ears.

“Tasha?!”

Hearing this, Harleen was stunned, her face filled with disbelief. Billy’s mouth twitched slightly.

When the girl appeared, he sensed her cultivation level was at the late stage of the Sovereign Realm, so he hadn’t thought it could be Tasha. But now, realizing it was indeed his daughter, even he was shocked despite being somewhat prepared for it.

It was quite astonishing! At twelve or thirteen years old, he had only just begun his martial arts journey.

As Billy and Harleen stood there in shock, Tasha arrived in front of them, her soft sword displaying a decent sword stance.

“Dad, Mom, hurry up and make a move!” Tasha shouted again.

“Tasha, slow down, be careful not to fall!” Harleen’s face showed a hint of worry as she used a gust of air to steady Tasha.

To every mother, no matter how accomplished their child is, they are always seen as a little kid. Harleen hadn’t seen Tasha in five or six years! The last time Billy returned, she and Ivy had gone to Canyon View Institute with Aubree and missed seeing her. Although Tasha was now at the late stage of the Sovereign Realm, in Harleen’s heart, she was still that little girl in kindergarten.

“Mommy…” After stopping, Tasha dropped her soft sword and rushed into Harleen’s arms. She had only wanted to surprise her parents but now couldn’t hold back her emotions any longer.

“Mommy, why did you take so long to come back? I thought you didn’t want me anymore…” Tasha cried loudly in Harleen’s arms.

“Tasha, I’m sorry. It’s Mommy’s fault…” Harleen’s tears flowed as well. Billy stood beside them, his eyes also misting over. The family hadn’t been together like this for many years!

A few hundred meters away, Adam and other members of Ether Mountain stood watching without interrupting. Zeph Knight and Sharon Mendoza were among them, their eyes also filled with tears.

“Daddy, I missed you so much…” After five or six minutes, Tasha left Harleen’s embrace and hugged Billy tightly.

“Daddy missed you too,” Billy said, his eyes red.

A few minutes later, Billy gently patted Tasha’s back. “Tasha, others are waiting for us. Shall we go over?”

“Okay…” Tasha calmed down a bit and left Billy’s embrace. The family then walked towards Adam and the others.

“Dad, Mom!” Billy and Harleen greeted Zeph Knight and Sharon Mendoza simultaneously.

“Billy, Siena…” Sharon Mendoza started to speak but then burst into tears.

“Sharon, today is a happy day; we should be joyful!” Zeph Knight said with a smile after calming down.

“Yes, yes, today is a happy day…” Sharon Mendoza wiped her tears away.

“Adam, long time no see!” Billy then turned to Adam. Harleen also bowed in greeting.

“Young Master, Madam, you’ve worked hard!”

“Greetings to the Young Master and Madam!” The members of Ether Mountain bowed in unison.

“We’re all family; no need for formalities,” Billy responded with a smile.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the guest hall in the inner courtyard. Along the way, Tasha clung to Harleen as if afraid her mother would leave again.

“Tasha, when did you start learning martial arts?” Harleen asked after everyone was seated.

“I started in my second month at Ether Mountain!” Tasha replied, having somewhat regained her composure. After a brief pause, she continued, “Grandma and Peak Master taught me many things.”

“How did your cultivation progress so quickly?” Harleen asked again.

“I’m not sure. Grandma and Peak Master said it might be because my physique and bloodline are special,” Tasha explained.

“Tasha’s physique and bloodline are indeed special,” Adam said with a smile. “Mrs. Stuart and Peak Master helped Tasha complete the first stage of physique tempering. Her cultivation then skyrocketed like a rocket.”

“If Mrs. Stuart hadn’t suppressed her progress out of concern that advancing too quickly might backfire, it would have been even more astonishing.”

“And this is just the first stage of physique tempering. Once her body adapts and she undergoes the second stage, it will be even more remarkable.”

“I see!” Harleen finally understood. She herself had undergone two stages of physique tempering and knew how dramatically it could boost cultivation.

“Adam, where are Tasha’s grandma and Peak Master? Why aren’t they here?” Harleen asked Adam.
