Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“Harleen, are you alright?” Billy asked as he approached her.

“I’m fine!” Harleen shook her head and then bowed to Jimmy Acevedo. “Thank you for your help!”

“No need to thank me, miss. It was just a small effort,” Jimmy Acevedo replied with a faint smile. “You all carry on; we can talk later.”

“Alright!” Harleen nodded in response.

Billy also nodded slightly to Jimmy Acevedo before leading Harleen towards the remaining members of the Yheng Institute.

The battle continued for a few more minutes before it ended, with everyone, including Tate William, killed without exception.

Seeing this, exclamations of surprise echoed from the surrounding sky.

Many people secretly felt fortunate that they hadn’t tried to stand out, or they would have been dead by now.

The ten Sacred Objects were indeed not something anyone could covet!

Soon after, while Stout was busy collecting storage rings, Billy and his group landed in the courtyard of the City Lord’s Mansion, and Purple Spirit returned to Billy’s body.

“Thank you, everyone!” Billy said to Maisy Cooper and the members of the Cooper family.

“Mr. Billy, you’re too kind!” Maisy Cooper smiled lightly. “Even without us, you wouldn’t have been in any trouble today!”

Before Billy could respond, she continued, “Mr. Billy, may I ask if that was a Spiritual Line Origin earlier?”

“Yes,” Billy nodded.

“As expected!” Maisy Cooper sighed. “Mr. Billy, you truly surprise me. To have a Spiritual Line Origin recognize you as its master is impressive!”

“You’re too kind,” Billy replied with a faint smile.

“Mr. Billy, it’s best not to let her appear easily in the future,” Maisy Cooper advised.

“Miss Cooper, what do you mean?” Azure Dragon asked.

“You don’t understand the mid-tier star domain yet, but you will in the future,” Maisy Cooper explained. “In the mid-tier star domain, for some people, a fully evolved Spiritual Line Origin is even more tempting than the ten Sacred Objects!”

“Really?” Judge and Soul Chaser exclaimed simultaneously.

“Yes,” Jimmy Acevedo said as he walked over. “Especially for those in the Blacksmiths’ Alliance and Alchemists’ Alliance, a high-level Spiritual Line Origin is priceless!”

“I understand,” Billy nodded slightly.

He realized that whether it was for forging weapons or refining pills, integrating a Spiritual Line Origin would make them extraordinarily powerful.

“Billy, one day we should just wipe out that Blacksmiths’ Alliance and Alchemists’ Alliance!” Purple Spirit said in Billy’s mind.

Billy: “…..”

“This gentleman must be from the Sword Sect?” Liam Cooper asked Jimmy Acevedo.

“Indeed,” Jimmy Acevedo replied with a faint smile.

“The Blade and Sword Sects have always stayed out of each other’s way. What brings you here today?” Liam Cooper continued.

“I just felt a connection with this young lady,” Jimmy Acevedo smiled again and looked at Harleen. “May I ask your name, miss?”

“My surname is Knight.”

“Miss Knight,” Jimmy Acevedo continued. “May I have a word with you?”

“Is there something you need?” Harleen asked, slightly surprised.

“Just a small matter,” Jimmy Acevedo responded.

“Alright,” Harleen said to Billy before walking aside with Jimmy Acevedo.

“Mr. Billy, since the Institute has already made a move, they won’t stop until they achieve their goal. Be careful!” Maisy Cooper warned Billy.

“Thank you for the reminder!” Billy nodded in response.

“By the way, Mr. Billy, I will be leaving Cloudhaven City for a while. If you need anything, just tell Elder Liam,” Maisy Cooper added.

“Alright,” Billy nodded again.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Maisy Cooper then took her leave with the Cooper family.

Shortly after, Harleen and Jimmy Acevedo returned.

“Billy, this gentleman wants to know about the origin of the Phantom Sword Technique,” Harleen said to Billy.

“Hmm?” Billy and his group were taken aback.

“You know the Phantom Sword Technique?” Billy asked Jimmy Acevedo.

“Mr. Billy must have heard of the Blade and Sword Sect?” Jimmy Acevedo countered. “I mean before it split.”

“I’ve heard a bit about it,” Billy nodded.

“The Blade and Sword Sect originally had two great treasures, but one was lost during an internal conflict a thousand years ago and has never been found,” Jimmy Acevedo explained.

“Are you saying that this Phantom Sword Technique is one of your sect’s lost treasures?” Stout asked as he walked over with several storage rings in hand.

“It may seem like a coincidence, but it is indeed our sect’s treasure,” Jimmy Acevedo confirmed solemnly. “For many years, the Sword Sect has never given up searching for the Phantom Sword Technique but found no clues.”

“Because of this, no one in our sect has truly mastered this skill, so we’ve always been overshadowed by the Blade Sect.”

“Really?” Stout asked again. “You’re not just saying this because you saw how powerful it is and want to claim it for yourself?”

“Most likely!” Judge chimed in.

“If it were really their ultimate skill, even if the manual was lost, it should have been passed down. How could no one know it?”

“Indeed!” Stout looked at Jimmy Acevedo again. “Your reason is too flimsy; try another one!”

“…..” Jimmy Acevedo’s mouth twitched slightly before he continued. “The Phantom Sword Technique requires an extremely high level of swordsmanship talent. Even if someone had the manual, they might not be able to comprehend it.”

“So even in the Blade and Sword Sect of old, very few could master it fully.”

“And with the manual lost, no one had the chance to continue studying it.”

“So today, even if someone in the Sword Sect knows this technique, its power has significantly diminished compared to other sword techniques.”

“Do you know it?” Casey asked.

“I only know the basics,” Jimmy Acevedo said before taking to the sky and demonstrating the Phantom Sword Technique by slashing into the void.

A loud noise echoed from afar as the void collapsed, creating a terrifying scene.

Although its power was comparable to what Billy had demonstrated earlier, it didn’t add much to his combat strength since he was already at fourth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm.

“Alright, it seems you do know the Phantom Sword Technique!” Stout remarked after Jimmy Acevedo landed back on the ground.

“Mr. Billy, may I ask where you obtained the Phantom Sword Technique?” Jimmy Acevedo asked Billy again.

“The Celestial Realm,” Billy briefly explained.

“No wonder the Sword Sect couldn’t find it for nearly a thousand years; the manual wasn’t even in the mid-tier star domain,” Jimmy Acevedo sighed.

He then looked at Billy again. “Mr. Billy, you’ve killed so many from the Yheng Institute today; they won’t let this go easily!”

“Although Mr. Billy is highly skilled, the Yheng Institute is formidable. The next time they send someone, it won’t be someone of this level!”

“I understand,” Billy nodded.

The Yheng Institute had repeatedly failed against him; next time they would send someone at least mid-to-late Perfection Emptiness Realm!

“If Mr. Billy doesn’t mind, you are welcome to visit our Sword Sect,” Jimmy Acevedo offered. “With your talent, Mr. Billy, you might not fear the Institute within a year or two!”
