Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

Chapter 2009: Difficult to Proceed



As Billy spoke, the kylin blade in his hand unleashed a Cracked Sky Blade Light.

The blade light was unstoppable, and Leo Moore’s axe-shaped weapon disintegrated instantly.

Next, a head flew into the sky, its face frozen in shock. This was his first and last encounter with someone from a lower star domain. He wondered if everyone from the lower star domain could leap across realms to kill their opponents like Billy.

Seeing Billy decapitate Leo Moore with one strike, Joe White couldn’t help but gasp. A few months ago, Billy had also slain a ninth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm elder, but it wasn’t this easy. Clearly, Billy’s skills had improved significantly.

Within ten minutes, the battle was over, and all members of the Moore family lay on the ground. Although several of them were at the Entering Emptiness Realm, Harleen, Opal, and Ivy were able to kill their early-stage Entering Emptiness Realm opponents by using all their trump cards.

“The Moore family seems to have some wealth!” Stout remarked after collecting everyone’s storage rings, this time without drooling.

“Tell me, what happened over these past few months?” Billy asked Joe White.

“Alright!” Joe White nodded and spent about fifteen minutes explaining. He had stayed here the entire time, waiting for Billy to help remove the silver needles from his body. He had tried to force out the nine silver needles with his internal energy but gave up after one attempt due to the excruciating pain.

During this period, another group from Yheng Institute came here. He hid and didn’t confront them. Yheng Institute clearly knew that Spencer Hawkins and his group had perished, so they sent another vice-president, a second-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm expert, to investigate the lower star domain.

However, upon reaching the barrier, they found that the thunder array had been repaired and had to give up after several attempts. Besides Yheng Institute, five or six other groups also came but left empty-handed.

A little over a month ago, members of the Moore family arrived. Joe White initially hid but was eventually discovered. Under their questioning, he revealed everything that had happened months ago. When they learned he was from the Array Alliance, they were initially cautious but couldn’t resist the temptation of plundering resources from the lower star domain and forced him to break the array.

To save his life, he didn’t tell them he couldn’t break the array but made up excuses saying he needed time to prepare. A few days later, he set up an illusion array that trapped the Moore family members. Knowing it wouldn’t hold them for long, he immediately sent a message to Billy and hid.

Today, the Moore family broke through the illusion array and found him again, leading to a chase until Billy and his group arrived.

“Why didn’t Yheng Institute ask your alliance leader for help when they found the thunder array repaired?” Azure Dragon asked.

“I’m not sure,” Joe White shook his head. “But as far as I know, the alliance leader isn’t in the Great Green Star Domain right now.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“Tell us about the Moore family,” Billy said after Joe White finished.

“The Moore family is an ancient family with over ten thousand years of history and is a significant power in the mid-level star domain,” Joe White replied. “Their headquarters are in a sixth-rank star domain. The people we just fought are only a branch in the Great Green Star Domain.”

“Even as a branch, their strength is formidable enough to rank in the top five within the Great Green Star Domain,” Joe White added.

“That strong?” Azure Dragon frowned slightly. “Where is their branch located? Great Green City?”

“No,” Joe White shook his head. “They are in Cloudhaven City.”

“Cloudhaven City is the closest city to this Star Domain Chasm exit. The Moore family rules Cloudhaven City, and its lord is Jacob Moore, the third master of the Moore family.”

“What is the highest cultivation level of the Moore family members in Cloudhaven City?” Casey asked.

“I’m not sure about specifics, but there should be Perfection Emptiness Realm experts,” Joe White replied.

“Does your Array Alliance have a branch in Cloudhaven City?” Casey continued.

“Yes,” Joe White nodded. “But it’s just a contact point without any strong experts.”

“There are two barriers in this Star Domain Chasm. Where is the other one? Has it been broken by your Array Alliance?” Billy asked.

“The other barrier is at the passage exit and is similar to this one with two arrays. The thunder array has already been broken by our alliance leader.”

“Is there anyone else inside?” Billy asked again.

“There shouldn’t be,” Joe White shook his head.

“Take us to the passage entrance,” Billy ordered.

“Alright,” Joe White nodded and led them forward through the air.

About half an hour later, they landed at a valley entrance. Looking ahead, they saw an entrance similar to the one above City of the Dead’s canyon. However, this entrance lacked a barrier and only had a layer of something like a barrier that rippled slightly.

They could clearly sense that the pressure around this area was much higher than elsewhere, evidently emanating from the passage entrance.

“Sir, the pressure inside the passage is very strong. If you enter like this, you might not be able to withstand it,” Joe White said to Billy. “Those who came through before were at least escorted by late-stage Entering Emptiness Realm experts.”

“Boss, let me try,” Azure Fang said and flew towards the entrance.

As he reached within a hundred meters of the entrance, he couldn’t help but gasp. Taking a deep breath, he activated all his energy to resist and felt slightly better. However, when he got within ten meters of the entrance, he reached his limit. He felt as if the immense pressure would tear him apart; veins bulged on his forehead, his expression twisted slightly, and sweat soaked his body.

Knowing he couldn’t enter in this state without being torn apart before exiting the passage, Azure Fang descended back to the group.

“Azure Fang, are you alright?” Frostblade asked upon seeing his condition.

“I’m fine, don’t worry,” Azure Fang replied and looked at Billy. “Boss, it’s indeed intense. Given our current state, it’s difficult.”

“Is there another way?” Billy turned to Joe White.
