Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“We at the Blade and Sword Sect have always had a suspicion,” Clayton Acevedo responded thoughtfully.

“That the Sect Master from back then might have left a soul imprint in the forbidden area!”

“Hmm?” Everyone was once again taken aback.

“Elder Clayton, are you sure?” Casey asked.

“Not sure, we can only try our luck!” Clayton Acevedo replied.

“Elder Clayton, if what you say is true and the Sect Master left a soul imprint in the forbidden area, are you certain it can contend with an eighth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm?” Bob asked.

“That Sect Master was the undisputed number one in this star domain back then, almost reaching the Breaking Emptiness Realm!” Clayton Acevedo didn’t directly answer Bob’s question.

“Really?” White Tiger and the others’ eyes lit up simultaneously.

If that were true, even a soul imprint would have a chance to fight!

“Yes!” Clayton Acevedo nodded.

“Elder Clayton, but Boss doesn’t know the Phantom Blade Technique yet. How can he enter the forbidden area?” Frostblade asked.

“That’s why I need to take your Boss to the Blade Sect!” Clayton Acevedo responded.

“The blade technique he used that day was identical to the Phantom Blade Technique. We’ll go to the Blade Sect and see if there’s any connection between the two.”

“What?” Everyone exclaimed in surprise again.

As they talked, they arrived at the entrance of the Blade Sect manor.

Looking around, the manor was about the same size as the Sword Sect’s, with a large blade standing at the entrance, piercing the sky.

“Who goes there?”

Seeing them, a few guards at the entrance scanned the group and shouted.

“Elder Clayton, they don’t recognize you?” Soul Chaser looked at Clayton Acevedo and asked.

“I haven’t been out for many years. Normally, they don’t recognize me!” Clayton Acevedo replied.

“Is Ryder Blade here?” Clayton Acevedo asked calmly.

“Hmm?” Hearing his name, the guards were stunned.

Ryder Blade was the former Sect Master of the Blade Sect and its current stabilizing force. They didn’t expect these people to ask for him right away.

“Go and inform him that Clayton Acevedo from the Sword Sect is here to visit!” Clayton Acevedo responded.

“You are from the Sword Sect?” The guards spoke simultaneously, their expressions tense.

Although the Blade and Sword Sects share origins, their relationship has grown increasingly tense over the years, with frequent clashes between them.

“Go on, I have important matters to discuss with him!” Clayton Acevedo continued.

“What exactly do you want with the old Sect Master?” The guard frowned again.

“Stop wasting time and go inform him!” Judge replied.

“What good can come from Sword Sect people coming here? If you don’t explain clearly, I won’t inform him!” The guard responded again.

“Blade Sect people are always like this!” Clayton Acevedo frowned slightly and then walked directly into the courtyard.

“Stop!” Several guards stepped forward to block his path.

Before they could react, they were sent flying and landed on the ground, grimacing in pain.

“Who dares to act recklessly at Blade Sect? Do you have a death wish?” Hearing the commotion, four or five dozen people rushed out from inside.

Without asking more questions, one of them raised his large blade and charged at them.

“Stop!”

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over quickly.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Elder Clive, they…” Seeing him, a young man spoke up.

The newcomer was Clive Blade, whom Billy had seen near the inn earlier.

“Elder Clayton, I apologize. These men didn’t recognize you. Please forgive them!” Clive Blade bowed respectfully as he approached.

While ordinary disciples of Blade Sect might not recognize Clayton Acevedo, as an elder of Blade Sect, Clive Blade certainly did.

Clayton Acevedo was one of the oldest members of Blade and Sword Sect. Despite occasional clashes between the two sects, Blade Sect elders maintained basic respect for him.

As Clive Blade spoke, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

On one hand, he knew that Clayton Acevedo hadn’t left Sword Sect for over a decade and wondered why he was here today. On the other hand, he was surprised to see Billy and his group with him.

Turning to Billy, he said, “Mr. Billy, you’re here too?”

“I came with Elder Clayton for some business,” Billy replied with a slight smile.

“Is Ryder Blade here?” Clayton Acevedo asked Clive Blade.

“Elder Clayton is here to see the old Sect Master?” Clive Blade was slightly taken aback. “The old Sect Master just came out of seclusion a couple of days ago. He’s in the back courtyard talking with the current Sect Master.”

“Take me to see him!” Clayton Acevedo responded.

“Elder Clayton, may I ask what this is about?” Clive Blade asked again.

“It’s important!” Clayton Acevedo replied.

“Elder Clayton, please wait a moment. Shall I inform them first?” Clive Blade continued.

“Just take me to see him directly!” Clayton Acevedo insisted.

“Alright then,” Clive Blade bowed. “This way, please!”

He knew that if Clayton Acevedo wanted to force his way in, he couldn’t stop him anyway. It was better to be accommodating.

Soon, led by Clive Blade, they arrived at a building in the back courtyard just as two men walked out of it.

One wore a gray robe and had white hair but a youthful face; he was Ryder Blade, the former Sect Master of Blade Sect. The other had thick eyebrows and a sturdy build; he was Hawkeye Blade, the current Sect Master of Blade Sect.

“Elder Clayton?” Both men were surprised to see him there. They hadn’t expected Clayton Acevedo to show up.

“It’s been over ten years since we last met,” Clayton Acevedo said to them.

“Elder Clayton, what brings you to Blade Sect today?” Hawkeye Blade asked respectfully.

As he spoke, he glanced at Billy and his group, another look of surprise flashing across his face. He had seen Billy’s portrait before and knew about yesterday’s events at Sword Sect. They had even sent people to observe but didn’t intervene.

“We need to discuss something,” Clayton Acevedo replied before turning to Jimmy Acevedo. “You should be at fourth-rank Perfection Emptiness Realm?”

“Yes, Elder Clayton,” Clive Blade bowed in response.

“Billy Boy, let him take your strike!” Clayton Acevedo turned to Billy.

“Hmm?” Ryder Blade and others were puzzled again by his words.

“Elder Clayton, what’s this about?” Ryder Blade asked.

“Watch first and then we’ll talk,” Clayton Acevedo replied before looking at Billy again. “Go ahead!”

“Please instruct me!” Billy didn’t hesitate and bowed slightly to Clive Blade.

“Sect Master?” Clive Blade looked at Hawkeye Blade for guidance.

“Since Elder Clayton requested it, spar with Mr. Billy,” Hawkeye Blade said after some thought. “But be mindful.”

“Understood!” Clive Blade nodded and turned to Billy. “Mr. Billy, please!”

The two then took to the air without further ado and began their duel mid-air. Billy didn’t activate his bloodline power but drew his kylin blade and unleashed Cracked Sky.
