Chapter 2027: They Won’t Drive Us Away, Right?
“Please, both of you, calm down!” Billy said with a light smile, looking at Clive Blade.
“Thank you for the offer, but I have already agreed to stay with the Sword Sect for a few days. It wouldn’t be appropriate to go back on my word now.”
“Maybe next time?”
“Haha, sure!” Clive Blade laughed heartily. “The doors of the Blade Sect are always open for Mr. Billy!”
“Thank you!” Billy cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.
“You’re welcome!” Clive Blade waved his hand and said, “See you next time!”
After speaking, he turned and left.
“Mr. Billy, please!” After Clive Blade departed, Jimmy Acevedo made a welcoming gesture again.
About half an hour later, the group arrived at the entrance of a large estate near the city wall on the east side of the city.
The estate covered nearly a million square meters, with a towering sword-shaped sculpture standing beside the gate, mirroring the sword outside the main gate of the city.
“Mr. Billy, I’ve heard so much about you. It’s an honor to meet you today!”
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of a grand hall, where a man emerged from inside. It was Dorian Acevedo, the current Sect Master of the Sword Sect!
Behind him followed four or five elders of the Sword Sect.
“Mr. Billy, this is our Sect Master,” Jimmy Acevedo introduced Dorian Acevedo to Billy and his group.
“Sect Master, you’re too kind!” Billy cupped his hands in respect. “I apologize for the intrusion and hope you can forgive us.”
“Mr. Billy, it’s our honor to have you as a guest at the Sword Sect. There’s no need to talk about intrusions!” Dorian Acevedo responded with a smile. “Everyone, please come inside so we can sit and chat.”
The group then entered the hall and took their seats.
“Mr. Billy, I heard you had some conflict with the Osborn family. Do you need our Sword Sect to intervene?” Dorian Acevedo asked Billy.
“No need to trouble the Sect Master; it’s already been resolved,” Billy replied with a faint smile.
Indeed, it had been resolved. Within a few days, the high-level combat power of the Osborn family would likely be reduced to just their patriarch!
Of course, this only resolved the branch family in Great Green City. Whether their main family would send people to the Great Green Star Domain was another matter.
“That’s good to hear!” Dorian Acevedo smiled and continued.
“Mr. Billy, since you’ve come to the Sword Sect, feel free to stay as long as you like. Treat it as your home!”
“Sect Master, we have quite a bit of trouble on us. I’m afraid it might bring problems to the Sword Sect…” Billy responded with a smile.
“Mr. Billy, are you referring to the Yheng Institute?” Dorian Acevedo interrupted him.
“As long as Mr. Billy is at the Sword Sect, you are our honored guest. Anyone looking to trouble Mr. Billy will have to get through us first!”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“Thank you, Sect Master!” Billy replied.
“Mr. Billy, I have an impertinent request. I wonder if you could grant it?” At this moment, an elder of the Sword Sect dressed in white robes looked at Billy and spoke.
“Please go ahead,” Billy responded with a faint smile.
“I’ve heard that Mr. Billy knows the Phantom Sword Technique. Could you show us?” The white-robed man asked.
Jimmy Acevedo opened his mouth as if to say something but ultimately remained silent.
“Sure,” Billy responded.
He understood their intentions clearly; they wanted to verify if he truly knew the Phantom Sword Technique and not be taken for fools.
“Thank you, Mr. Billy!” The white-robed man cupped his hands in respect.
“Mr. Billy, I apologize for Elder Wyatt’s…” Dorian Acevedo began.
“It’s fine!” Billy smiled and stood up, walking towards the door.
Soon, they were outside.
“Elder Wyatt, would you like to join me?” Billy asked Wyatt Acevedo, the white-robed man, with a smile.
“I’d be honored. Please instruct me!” Wyatt Acevedo cupped his hands in response.
The two then ascended into the air, and Billy took out a sharp sword from his storage ring.
“Mr. Billy, please take this move!” Wyatt Acevedo drew his sword and spoke.
As he finished speaking, his aura rapidly increased, revealing his fourth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm cultivation.
His wrist continuously turned, releasing invisible sword energy that filled the entire space with a chilling killing intent.
In an instant, a sharp sword force swept towards Billy, causing the void to crack wherever it passed-a terrifying sight.
As Wyatt Acevedo launched his attack, Billy also moved, wielding his sword and activating the Phantom Sword Technique.
A deafening explosion ensued as the center of impact collapsed instantly.
Simultaneously, both Billy and Wyatt Acevedo were blasted a thousand meters away, each with blood at the corners of their mouths.
With one move, they were evenly matched!
“It is the Phantom Sword Technique!” Wyatt Acevedo cupped his hands towards Billy after slightly adjusting his breath. “Thank you, Mr. Billy!”
“You’re welcome,” Billy replied faintly.
“Billy, are you alright?” Harleen approached Billy after they landed on the ground.
“I’m fine; don’t worry,” Billy smiled.
“Mr. Billy, I’m impressed!” Dorian Acevedo said simultaneously.
At this point, he finally confirmed that Billy indeed knew the Phantom Sword Technique!
“You flatter me!” Billy responded before looking at Stout. “Stout, give the Phantom Sword Technique manual to the Sect Master!”
“Hmm?” Hearing Billy’s words, everyone from the Sword Sect, including Dorian Acevedo, was stunned.
No one expected that Billy would hand over the manual so easily!
“Alright!” Stout nodded and took out the manual from his storage ring, handing it to Dorian Acevedo. “Sect Master, now that we’ve given you the manual, you won’t drive us away immediately, right?”
“Boy, you’re joking!” Dorian Acevedo did not take the manual immediately. “You are all honored guests of our Sword Sect; it has nothing to do with the manual!”
Then he looked at Billy and said, “Mr. Billy, although the Phantom Sword Technique manual is something our Sword Sect lost long ago, it was found by you.”
“It doesn’t feel right to just take it back like this. How about Mr. Billy name a price? Our Sword Sect…”
“The manual originally belonged to the Sword Sect; I’m just returning it to its rightful owner,” Billy interrupted with a smile.
“But…” Dorian Acevedo continued.
“Sect Master, just accept it,” Harleen also smiled and said. “Billy is right; it originally belonged to your Sword Sect.”
“In that case, thank you very much!” Dorian Acevedo said as he took the manual.
“Thank you, Mr. Billy!”
All the elders of the Sword Sect bowed simultaneously in gratitude.
Before today, they never thought that this manual would return to their sect so easily!
“You’re all too kind!” Billy responded with a light smile.
“Sect Master, I’m curious about something. If someone masters the Phantom Sword Technique to Great Perfection Realm, can they leapfrog an entire major realm to defeat their opponent?” Judge asked curiously.
“No,” Dorian Acevedo smiled. “The higher one’s cultivation level, the harder it is to challenge someone above your level.”
“Of course, how many levels one can leap depends on both martial skills and personal abilities.”
“For example, even if I master the Phantom Sword Technique to Great Perfection Realm, at best I might only be able to challenge one or two levels above me!”
“I see,” Judge said thoughtfully.
“Two levels is impressive!” Soul Chaser replied seriously. “At Perfection Emptiness Realm, each level is like a barrier!”
“That’s true!” Judge nodded in agreement.
“Jimmy Acevedo, take Mr. Billy and his group for a tour around Sword Pavilion,” Dorian Acevedo said with a smile as he looked at Jimmy Acevedo.
“I’ve already informed Elder Clayton that Mr. Billy and his group can freely move around Sword Pavilion and stay as long as they like!”
“Alright!” Jimmy Acevedo responded after a moment of surprise.
After bidding farewell to Dorian Acevedo and others, Billy and his group followed Jimmy Acevedo toward Sword Pavilion.
“Jimmy, what is Sword Pavilion?” Bob asked Jimmy Acevedo as they walked.
“In simple terms, Sword Pavilion is like our sect’s library of martial arts manuals. It contains many advanced sword techniques that you can…” Jimmy Acevedo began explaining.
“How does it compare to Phantom Sword Technique?” Stout interrupted him directly.
Jimmy Acevedo: “…”
Can we have a proper conversation?
