Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

Chapter 2017: Arrival from the Institute



“Yes!” Liam Cooper nodded.

“The transmission channels in the mid-tier star domain might be different from those in your star domain, and the speed might be slightly faster.”

Everyone: This is called slightly faster?!

In the following days, Billy and his group temporarily settled in the City Lord’s Mansion.

Since nothing special happened, everyone devoted themselves entirely to cultivation.

As the saying goes, the broader the horizon, the smaller one feels. After arriving in the mid-tier star domain, even those in the Entering Emptiness Realm could only be considered mid-level, which was a huge blow to everyone.

Except for Billy, everyone else was still at the Heaven Dao Realm. To establish themselves in this mid-tier star domain was a long and arduous journey!

During this period, Maisy Cooper occasionally came to see everyone. Each time she came, she didn’t have any specific matters to discuss, just chatted for a bit and then left.

Billy and his group remained cautious of her. It was clear she had some ulterior motives, but they didn’t know what exactly.

“Boss, what’s the plan next? Are we just going to stay in Cloudhaven City?” Bob asked Billy one afternoon while they were chatting in an open space in the City Lord’s Mansion.

“Bob, you should be content!” Amber smiled. “Having these few days of peace is already quite good. I bet you’ll be busy soon!”

“Amber, what do you mean?” Bob asked.

“In the past few days, quite a few people should have arrived in Cloudhaven City!” Casey said from the side.

“If nothing unexpected happens, they are probably all here for the Nine Dragons Cauldron that Boss has. They just don’t want to be the first to make a move, so it seems calm for now…”

Before Casey could finish his sentence, a powerful aura swept in from the horizon.

In no time, the entire City Lord’s Mansion was enveloped in an extremely terrifying pressure.

“Damn, they’re here already?” Bob said helplessly.

“A fourth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm cultivator. They come with ill intentions!” Harleen frowned slightly.

“Most likely people from Yheng Institute. That place should be wiped out sooner or later!” Azure Dragon also frowned.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Billy, come out and face your death!” At that moment, an old man’s voice echoed through the void.

“Let’s go check it out!” Billy said as he flew up into the sky, followed closely by Harleen and the others.

Soon, they were in mid-air and saw a group of more than ten people standing hundreds of meters away. The leader was a gray-robed elderly man who had just spoken, a fourth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm expert.

Behind him were a man and a woman, both with considerable strength-one at second-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm and the other at first-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm.

The rest were all at Entering Emptiness Realm!

“Azure Dragon, Azure Fang, you two go back down!” Billy said sternly.

“Alright!” Azure Dragon and the others responded and didn’t insist on staying.

They couldn’t sense any martial aura from the opponents, knowing they were all above Entering Emptiness Realm. Staying would only be a burden.

“You must be Billy?” The leading elder named Tate William looked at Billy and spoke.

“People from Yheng Institute?” Billy responded calmly.

“Did Spencer Hawkins die by your hand?” Tate William continued.

“Looking for revenge?” Billy asked back.

“So it was you!” Tate William responded harshly. “I’ll give you a chance to live. Hand over the Nine Dragons Cauldron willingly and come back with me to the Institute to face punishment!”

“Mr. Billy is my friend. Can Yheng Institute give me some face?” At that moment, Maisy Cooper arrived with members of the Cooper family.

“State your name!” Tate William looked at them.

“Maisy Cooper!”

“Hmm?” Tate William frowned slightly. “From the Cooper family?”

“Indeed!” Maisy Cooper nodded.

“From the main branch of the Cooper family?” Tate William continued.

He had already probed their cultivation levels. Maisy Cooper was only at fourth-rank Entering Emptiness Realm, but Liam Cooper was genuinely at Perfection Emptiness Realm.

Moreover, Liam Cooper seemed to be Maisy Cooper’s follower.

For someone to have a Perfection Emptiness Realm expert as a follower, Maisy Cooper’s identity was self-evident.

“Can the Institute give me some face?” Maisy Cooper smiled faintly.

“He killed one of our vice-presidents!” Tate William responded.

“I know!” Maisy Cooper flicked her fingers as she spoke.

A storage ring flew towards Tate William: “Consider the contents as compensation from Mr. Billy to your Institute. Will you consider it?”

Tate William used his spiritual power to inspect the storage ring’s contents and couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes.

However, although the contents were tempting enough, he didn’t accept the storage ring.

“Not enough?” Maisy Cooper asked.

“It’s not about compensation!” Tate William shook his head. “My purpose for coming to Cloudhaven City today is to take him back to the Institute. That’s my only purpose!”

“Alright then, there’s nothing more to discuss!” Maisy Cooper retrieved the storage ring and looked at Billy: “Mr. Billy, are you confident?”

“Elder Liam just needs to hold off that first-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm expert for me!” Billy responded.

“Are you sure?” Maisy Cooper was stunned.

She had learned from Liam Cooper that there were three Perfection Emptiness Realm experts on the other side-besides Tate William, there was one second-rank and one first-rank expert.

She had thought Billy would ask Liam Cooper to hold off the second-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm expert but didn’t expect it to be just the first-rank one.

“Yes!” Billy nodded.

“Alright!” Maisy Cooper didn’t ask further questions.

“Our Institute has no intention of becoming enemies with the Cooper family. You’d better not interfere.” Tate William looked at Maisy Cooper and spoke.

“I’ve said it before; Mr. Billy is my friend!” Maisy Cooper responded.

“Then forgive us for being rude!” Tate William’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Although he knew very well that the main branch of the Cooper family was strong, it was in a sixth-tier star domain far from the Great Green Star Domain-not something he needed to consider now.

Of course, most importantly, Billy had the Nine Dragons Cauldron!

If the Institute could obtain that Sacred Object, they would even have the capital to challenge high-tier star domains. Why fear a single Cooper family?

Before he finished speaking, Billy had already made his move. Activating his bloodline power, he wielded his kylin blade and unleashed a Cracked Sky slash directly at Tate William.

Facing a fourth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm expert, he had no chance without using Cracked Sky.

“Attack!” Tate William shouted as he threw a punch casually but imbued with immense energy. A massive shadowy fist blocked out the sun as it compressed the void around it.

A deafening explosion followed as both Billy and Tate William were sent flying back a thousand meters, their breaths slightly disordered-a draw after one move!

Meanwhile, battles broke out among everyone else as well.

“Miss, take care of yourself!” Liam Cooper said before attacking the first-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm old woman on their side.

The old woman didn’t say much either; she wielded her sharp sword and met his attack with her sword aura.

Both being first-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm experts, it would be hard to determine a winner quickly.

“A bunch of ignorant brats!”

The second-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm elder on their side snorted coldly and charged towards Harleen and others.

However, before he could cover a hundred meters, he was struck by a purple figure and sent flying back, spitting out a mouthful of blood mid-air and losing twenty percent of his combat strength!

The one who attacked was none other than Purple Spirit!
