Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“Is this a low-grade Spirit Essence Pill?” The guard took the pill and examined it.

“Yes,” Billy nodded.

“Is there anything special about it?” The guard looked at the Spirit Essence Pill for a long time.

Clearly, his knowledge of pills was insufficient to discern its purity; otherwise, he wouldn’t have reacted this way.

“Take it to your alliance head, and you’ll understand,” Billy said.

“Please wait here. I’ll report inside. I can’t guarantee whether the alliance head will see you,” the guard added.

“Thank you,” Billy nodded again.

In less than five minutes, footsteps echoed in Billy’s ears. Looking up, he saw two people, a man and a woman, being led out of the manor by the guard.

The woman was a beautiful middle-aged lady in her forties, still charming and with a high cultivation level, at the eighth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm. Following closely behind her was an elderly man in a gray robe, at the second-rank Breaking Emptiness Realm.

“Alliance head, this Spirit Essence Pill was given to me by him,” the guard said, pointing at Billy as they reached the manor’s entrance.

“Young master, may I ask if your surname is Ling?” the middle-aged woman asked, her eyes flashing with surprise as she glanced over Billy and his companions.

“Indeed,” Billy replied with a faint smile.

It wasn’t surprising that she knew of his existence. He had given the Spirit Essence Pill to the guard precisely for this purpose. Some time ago, when he bid farewell to Juliana Frost, the young lady of the Alchemists’ Alliance in Bladesong City, she had invited him to visit the Alchemists’ Alliance in the fifth-tier star domain. Juliana Frost must have informed them that Billy would pass through the City of the Unclaimed on his way to the Alchemists’ Alliance headquarters. Judging by their reaction, they indeed knew of his existence.

“So it really is Mr. Billy!” The middle-aged woman bowed slightly. “Liana greets Mr. Billy!”

“No need for formalities,” Billy smiled again.

“Mr. Billy, let me introduce Elder Samuel,” Liana said, pointing to the elderly man.

“I’ve long heard of Mr. Billy’s great name. It’s an honor to meet you today,” Elder Samuel said, looking at Billy.

“Elder Samuel is too kind,” Billy responded with a slight smile.

“Mr. Billy, please come in so we can talk inside,” Liana gestured invitingly.

“Thank you,” Billy nodded.

A few minutes later, they arrived in the main hall on the first floor of the main building.

“Chieftain Liana, did you know our boss would come to see you?” Night Orchid asked after they were seated.

“Strictly speaking, it was the young lady who knew,” Liana smiled. “Two months ago, she sent me a message saying Mr. Billy might come to the City of the Unclaimed and informed me about Mr. Billy’s ability to refine pills with a purity of up to ninety-eight percent. So when I saw that Spirit Essence Pill earlier, I guessed it might be Mr. Billy.”

As she spoke, she felt deeply moved. She had not only heard about Billy from Juliana Frost but also knew about him and the Nine Dragons Cauldron before that. She hadn’t expected this legendary genius to be so young. Moreover, what surprised her most was that two months ago, Juliana Frost had told her that Billy was only at the mid-stage Entering Emptiness Realm. Now, she sensed a second-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm aura from him. Such rapid progress in cultivation was astonishing!

“I see,” Night Orchid nodded slightly.

“Mr. Billy, the young lady specifically instructed us to assist you unconditionally with any needs you might have,” Liana added.

“Miss Frost is very considerate,” Billy smiled faintly.

“Mr. Billy, when did you arrive in the City of the Unclaimed?” Samuel asked from the side.

“Just now,” Billy replied with a light smile. “I have some matters to inquire about and apologize for any disturbance.”

“No need to be so polite,” Samuel responded. “What would Mr. Billy like to know?”

“Do you know anything about the Yinsha Sect?” Billy asked.

“The Yinsha Sect?” Liana and Samuel were both taken aback.

“What aspect of the Yinsha Sect would Mr. Billy like to know?” Samuel asked after a pause.

“What kind of sect is it? What is its high-end combat power like?” Billy continued.

“There are many sects in the City of the Unclaimed, over a hundred large and small ones. But only two can be considered truly powerful sects, one of which is the Yinsha Sect,” Samuel explained. “The cultivation level of the Yinsha Sect’s leader is unknown to outsiders, but it’s estimated to be at least mid-stage Breaking Emptiness Realm. Besides their leader, there are three or four other Breaking Emptiness Realm experts in their elder council.”

“Impressive! A sect with so many experts?” Azure Dragon remarked.

“You can’t underestimate the two super sects in the City of the Unclaimed. Their presence deters other forces in the fifth-tier star domain from easily making a move against the city,” Samuel responded.

“What about their character?” Billy asked next.

“Their character leaves much to be desired,” Samuel replied. “They bully others and oppress weaker sects and families in the City of the Unclaimed.”

“Chieftain Liana, does the Yinsha Sect have any conflicts with your Alchemists’ Alliance?” Ivy asked.

“There was a conflict just three days ago,” Liana nodded. “They wanted us to refine a batch of mid-grade Spirit Essence Pills for them. We refused, so they occasionally send people to cause trouble. Fortunately, they fear the strength of our headquarters and don’t dare push things too far…”

Before Liana could finish speaking, a muffled sound came from outside. Then they saw an Alchemists’ Alliance member being thrown through the main gate and landing lifelessly on the ground.

“Hmm?!” Both Samuel and Liana frowned simultaneously.

“Mr. Billy, please wait here while I go check who it is!” Liana said after a brief pause, looking at Billy.

“Let’s go together,” Billy said as he stood up and walked outside.

Soon, they stepped outside and saw ten people standing in the courtyard. Leading them was an old man in a blue robe with a third-rank Breaking Emptiness Realm cultivation level. Behind him were nine others: one first-rank Breaking Emptiness Realm expert, two ninth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm experts, four mid-stage Perfection Emptiness Realm experts, and two early-stage Perfection Emptiness Realm experts-a formidable lineup!

At that moment, four or five hundred Alchemists’ Alliance members rushed out from within the courtyard.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Reeve Yancy, it’s you?” Samuel frowned tightly upon seeing the leading old man.

“Chieftain Liana, do you know him?” Billy asked Liana beside him.

“The leader is Reeve Yancy, Vice Sect Master of Yinsha Sect and a third-rank Breaking Emptiness Realm expert,” Liana said with a serious expression.

“Yinsha Sect people?” Billy’s eyes narrowed slightly.
