Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“I don’t know the specifics,” Morgan Muir shook his head. “I only know that besides their sect master, the strongest in Frost Palace should be the two vice masters, followed by the elders.”

“No one knows exactly how many elders there are, but it’s rumored that there are at least four experts at the early stage of the Breaking Emptiness Realm.”

“Both vice masters are at the mid-stage of the Breaking Emptiness Realm. One is at the fourth rank, and the other is at the fifth rank.”

“As for their sect master’s level, very few outsiders know.”

“That’s quite exaggerated,” Casey frowned slightly.

A look of seriousness flashed across everyone’s faces. The strength of Frost Palace was clearly beyond their expectations.

“The rulers of any faction in a fifth-rank star domain are unmatched by any other family or sect!” Morgan Muir nodded.

“Understood!” Casey nodded.

“Mr. Billy, you killed Frost Palace’s Master Everett. They definitely won’t let it go,” Morgan Muir continued, looking at Billy.

“When you return from there, you’d better leave the east domain as soon as possible. As long as you’re not in the east domain, Frost Palace can’t do anything to you!”

“Thanks for the reminder!” Billy nodded thoughtfully.

“Chieftain Muir, since there are teleportation channels between cities in the east domain, why don’t we use them?” White Tiger asked.

“Because the place we’re going to isn’t under the jurisdiction of any city!” Morgan Muir responded. “It’s about seven or eight days’ journey by starship from the nearest city.”

“Alright!” White Tiger shrugged.

After that, everyone stopped talking and found a place to sit and cultivate.

Along the way, they encountered two or three cosmic storms, but they weren’t large enough to pose a significant threat to a fifth-rank starship.

On the morning of the tenth day, the starship landed in a desolate snowy area.

After disembarking, they were greeted by an endless expanse of ice and snow.

“Chieftain Muir, is the person you want to rescue here?” Azure Dragon asked Morgan Muir.

“Mr. Billy, we meet again!” At that moment, an elderly voice reached their ears.

As the voice sounded, a group of about ten people flew over from a distance, led by Jasper Muir.

“Greetings, Elder Jasper!” Morgan Muir bowed.

“Thank you for your hard work!” Jasper Muir smiled and looked at Billy. “Thank you for making this trip!”

“It’s nothing,” Billy nodded slightly. “Where is it?”

“Mr. Billy, please follow me!” Jasper Muir said and led the group forward.

Along the way, Billy released his spiritual power to scan within a hundred kilometers. There were no signs of life, not even flying beasts or fierce animals; it was like a dead zone.

After flying about a thousand kilometers, they descended from mid-air.

In front of them was a snow-covered mountain with a massive ice cave halfway up. The cave was about two to three hundred meters wide and long, with icicles over a hundred meters long hanging like curtains at the entrance, creating a spectacular sight.

“Boss, there’s something unusual around here,” Casey whispered to Billy.

“Yeah,” Billy replied. He had already scanned the area from mid-air.

Unlike the initial location, this mountain had many people lurking within a hundred kilometers. There were several people at the mid-to-late stages of Perfection Emptiness Realm, not including those he couldn’t detect.

It was normal for people to be lurking around; they were obviously here for the ‘Heavenly Xuan Array Compass.’© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Elder Jasper, is the person you want my boss to rescue inside that ice cave?” Stout asked Jasper Muir.

“Yes!” Jasper Muir nodded.

“No way? Trapped in such icy conditions for years, wouldn’t they have frozen to death?” Stout continued.

“No,” Jasper Muir’s mouth twitched. “For martial artists above the Entering Dao Realm, natural temperature differences have no effect.”

“Elder Jasper, can you tell us who exactly is trapped inside?” Amber asked.

“To be honest, it’s our previous leader of the Array Alliance,” Jasper Muir responded.

“Hmm?” Everyone was taken aback by his words.

“Was your leader trapped because of the ‘Heavenly Xuan Array Compass’?” Bob asked.

“Obviously! He must have failed to seize it and got himself trapped,” Judge replied.

“Old man, didn’t you say there’s an array at the entrance that Perfection Emptiness Realm experts can’t enter?” Stout asked. “Don’t tell me your leader wasn’t even at Perfection Emptiness Realm? How did he get in?”

“I’d better give you a brief explanation,” Jasper Muir paused before explaining to everyone.

After about fifteen minutes, everyone had a general understanding.

Ten years ago, there were rumors that one of the Ten Sacred Objects, the ‘Heavenly Xuan Array Compass,’ had appeared in this star domain.

The news spread quickly, and many experts from mid-level star domains gathered in this fifth-rank star domain to search for it, including people from the Array Alliance.

Soon after, it was confirmed that the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass was hidden in this ice cave.

Various factions gathered here to fight for it.

At that time, tens of thousands of people fought fiercely in this icy land for three days and nights. The area within a hundred kilometers was littered with corpses and rivers of blood; the ice and snow turned crimson.

According to incomplete statistics, nearly 100, 000 people were killed in that battle.

Eventually, the factions realized that if they continued fighting, they might all die before seeing the ‘Heavenly Xuan Array Compass.’

Finally, they agreed to a truce and proposed a plan: each faction would send ten people into the ice cave. Whoever could retrieve the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass would keep it!

After discussions, about seventy or eighty people entered the ice cave, including the then-leader of the Array Alliance headquarters.

The result was that none of them came out alive.

Most died fighting each other; a few were killed by arrays inside.

The Array Alliance leader survived because he was skilled in arrays and even found the Heavenly Xuan Array Compass. However, when he tried to leave with it, he triggered a high-level array inside.

Not only was he trapped inside, but an array at the entrance was also activated.

Since then, anyone above Perfection Emptiness Realm could no longer enter the ice cave.

“Elder Jasper, if your leader couldn’t break the array inside, can Billy do it?” Harleen asked after hearing Jasper Muir’s explanation. This was also what everyone else wondered.
