Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“Because that array is very mysterious, the leader cannot sense any formation line fluctuations within the trapped space,” Jasper Muir responded.

“In other words, that array can only be broken from the outside; those trapped inside can do nothing.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Is that so?” Judge and Soul Chaser were both taken aback.

“The thunder array at the entrance of Star Domain Chasm seemed similar!” Ivy remarked.

“Billy had to repair that array from inside the passage; it was impossible from the direction of the City of the Dead!”

“Seems like it!” Everyone nodded in agreement.

“Old man, what is the cultivation level of your leader?” Stout asked Jasper Muir.

“I’m not exactly sure, but ten years ago, when he entered the ice cave, he was roughly at the mid to late stage of the Breaking Emptiness Realm,” Jasper Muir replied.

“Mid to late stage of Breaking Emptiness Realm ten years ago? He must have broken through several major realms by now!” Stout exclaimed.

“You must be joking!” Jasper Muir’s lips twitched slightly.

“The old leader has been trapped inside for nearly ten years. Surviving is already a miracle; there’s no way his cultivation could have improved!”

“If nothing unexpected happens, his cultivation will have significantly declined. However, if he gets out, he should recover quickly in a short time.”

“Even so, it’s risky!” Stout clicked his tongue and looked at Billy. “Boss, let’s not save him. This deal isn’t worth it!”

“If we rescue him and he refuses to hand over the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass, we can’t do anything about it. He might even kill you, Boss!”

Jasper Muir: “…”

“That is indeed a possibility!” Opal chimed in.

“Mr. Billy, rest assured, our Array Alliance keeps its word!” Jasper Muir looked at Billy. “If Mr. Billy rescues our old leader, you will be a great benefactor to our Array Alliance. From then on, we will never refuse any request from you!”

“Billy…” Harleen looked at Billy with a slightly worried expression.

“It’s okay, don’t worry. I’ll go in and take a look first!” Billy said, then turned to Jasper Muir. “There are many hidden people around here, obviously after the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass. If we rescue your alliance head, can you handle it?”

“Rest assured, Mr. Billy, it won’t be a problem!” Jasper Muir nodded. “However, we must hurry; if we delay too long, other forces will surely arrive…”

“Alright!” Billy nodded.

Then, the group flew towards the entrance of the ice cave.

Before they reached the entrance, a figure flew in from the right side of the snowy mountain.

The figure quickly dashed towards the entrance of the ice cave.

“Hmm?!” Everyone was stunned.

“Who goes there?” Morgan Muir shouted, raising his hand to strike at the figure.

“Get lost!” An old man’s voice rang out as a wave of energy surged forth.

With a loud bang, both Morgan Muir and the old man were blasted back five or six hundred meters, evenly matched.

The old man steadied himself and dashed towards the cave entrance again.

“Courting death!” A ninth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm elder beside Jasper Muir growled and raised his hand to attack.

“Let him be,” Jasper Muir waved his hand to stop him.

As he spoke, the old man had already entered the cave.

Shortly after entering, thick ice spikes shot towards him from the front, densely packed and impenetrable.

“Tricks!” The old man snorted and swept his hand out.

As an eighth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm expert, he didn’t take the ice spikes seriously.

However, to his shock, his powerful strike didn’t even slow down the ice spikes.

Clearly, these ice spikes were reinforced by an array; brute force alone couldn’t break them without a certain cultivation level.

“Impossible?!” The old man exclaimed and quickly retreated.

Even though he reacted swiftly, he was still a moment too late.

Two ice spikes struck his chest heavily. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was thrown out of the cave entrance.

He landed hard on the ice below, with at least half of his ribs broken and blood gushing from his mouth.

In one move, he was rendered powerless!

Strangely, as soon as the ice spikes reached the cave entrance, they shattered and disappeared without a trace.

“What just happened?” Judge couldn’t help but ask.

“Didn’t you hear Elder Jasper?” Felicia replied. “There’s an array at the entrance that doesn’t allow anyone above Perfection Emptiness Realm to enter. That old man was at least in the late stage of Perfection Emptiness Realm. Forcing his way in was asking for trouble.”

“He reacted quickly; otherwise, he’d be dead by now!” Jasper Muir nodded.

“Alright then!” Judge said and added, “Elder Jasper, are you sure those below Perfection Emptiness Realm won’t be attacked inside? You’re not lying to us?”

“Of course not!” Jasper Muir replied.

As they spoke, the group arrived at the cave entrance.

“Billy, I’ll go in with you!” Harleen said.

“Billy, I’ll accompany you inside!” Ivy added.

“No need. We don’t know what’s inside yet; it’s too dangerous for both of you. Besides, someone needs to watch outside,” Billy responded.

“Then be careful!” Harleen took a deep breath and nodded.

She was also worried about the situation outside; many strong individuals were lurking around, ready to strike at any moment.

“Boss, be careful!” Casey and others said in unison.

“You all be careful outside too!” Billy nodded.

“Mr. Billy, there will be many forks inside. Follow the formation lines; where they are densest is where our leader is trapped,” Jasper Muir instructed Billy.

“Got it!” Billy replied and flew into the cave entrance.

Soon after entering, he landed at the entrance and walked inside.

The scene of the old man breaking through didn’t repeat itself; the ice cave was quiet without any anomalies.

After walking some distance, Billy released his spiritual power to probe inside the ice cave but found no signs of life.

Continuing forward for another two or three hundred meters, he encountered three forks in the path.

Billy stopped and sensed the formation lines inside the ice cave. The right fork had significantly stronger formation lines.

Entering the right fork and walking several hundred meters more, he encountered three more forks.

After about fifteen minutes in the ice cave, Billy stopped at an entrance where he sensed that the formation lines were far denser than elsewhere.

He walked in and saw a large space about four to five thousand square meters in size.

In the center of this space floated an ice block about three meters in length, width, and height. A barrier with a diameter of fifty or sixty meters enveloped it.

An old man sat cross-legged on top of the ice block with closed eyes. His hair and beard were long and unkempt, dragging on the ground; he looked like a statue.

Undoubtedly, this old man was the previous leader of Array Alliance!
