The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 474 Unveiling the Murder Scheme

"Come back!" Billy spoke sternly.

"Boss..." Judge turned to look at Billy.

"What's the rush? Sit down!" Billy interrupted him. "Let's see what they're up to first!"

He knew that the other side was intentionally stalling, but he wasn't entirely sure of their motives.

"Understood!" Judge and Stout replied and sat down again.

Time passed quickly, and an hour had passed in the blink of an eye. The elder from the Crimson Sun Sect had not appeared again, and Billy and his team's patience was wearing thin. "These Crimson Sun Sect people are really looking for trouble. I want to see what their young Sect Master is doing!" Soul Chaser furrowed his brows and walked towards the stone stairs. "Stop, what are you trying to do?" A disciple of the Crimson Sun Sect raised his hand and shouted loudly.

"Get lost!" Soul Chaser roared and struck out with his hand.

"You..." The man's pupils shrank as he tried to block Soul Chaser's attack with his hand.

Bang!

As a muffled sound rang out, the man was sent flying, crashing into the stone stairs behind, blood spurting.

"You scoundrel!" An elder from the Crimson Sun Sect said coldly and launched a punch towards Soul Chaser.

"Old bastard, I've been waiting for you to make a move!" Soul Chaser's wrist flicked, and he drew his curved blade, sending a sharp crescent blade energy towards his opponent. Their attacks clashed, and both of them retreated seven or eight steps, evenly matched.

"Hmm?" The elder stabilized himself, his pupils slightly narrowed. He was a War Grandmaster at the lower stage, one level higher than Soul Chaser. He had expected to easily defeat his opponent, but he was surprised to find himself evenly matched.

"Come again!" Soul Chaser was full of anger and wanted to take it out on someone.

"This is the Crimson Sun Sect, not your SHADOW. You'd better not be too arrogant, or don't blame us for not showing courtesy!" The elder said coldly.

"Then let me see how you don't show courtesy!" Soul Chaser said with a deep voice and raised his blade to charge again.

"Soul Chaser, come back!" Billy's voice rang out.

"Boss, they're deliberately embarrassing us. Let me take care of them, and see if their young Sect Master dares to come out..." Soul Chaser replied loudly. "Come back!" Billy's tone grew stern.

"Soul Chaser, don't anger Boss. Come back!" Frostblade frowned.

"Fine..." Soul Chaser reluctantly returned.

"Boss, waiting like this may not be a solution." Night Orchid said, looking at Billy.

"Hmm." Billy narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.

At that moment, Michael's phone rang.

"What's up?" Michael answered the call. After a brief conversation, his brows furrowed.

"I understand. Stay safe." Michael said before ending the call. He looked at Billy and spoke, "Commander, Nigel just called and said that a group of unfamiliar faces went to his hometown, that small mountain village."

"As expected." Billy's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Boss, Azure Fang's situation is likely related to what's happening with Arthur Fowler and Bessie Charleston." Night Orchid said after a moment of thought.

"Hmm." Billy nodded.

The developments seemed to confirm his suspicions.

"Orchid, what do you mean?" Judge asked.

"It seems that the other side

intentionally injured Azure Fang but didn't kill him. It's likely they did this to divert your attention, so you wouldn't have time to deal with what's happening with Arthur Fowler and Bessie Charleston." Night Orchid explained.

"It's possible!" Soul Chaser said aloud.

"Boss, could this be the work of Ink Pavilion again?" Frostblade looked at Billy and asked.

"It's very likely." Billy thought about it.

From what he knew, when ArthurProperty © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Fowler was still in Central Sky Office,

he had clashed with Ink Pavilion several times. It was said that Arthur Fowler had even killed an Elder from Ink Pavilion back then. Furthermore, even if there were no personal grudges between them, if Ink Pavilion learned that Arthur Fowler had been living in that mountain village for so many years, they

would undoubtedly want to

investigate the reasons behind it,

just like Billy did.

"How did Ink Pavilion know about Arthur Fowler's whereabouts?" Stout paused in mid-sentence and suddenly realized something. "Could they be complicit with Alexandra Maynard?" "Definitely," Night Orchid agreed.

"He's quite capable." Judge commented.

"Boss, should we send some people to that village?" Night Orchid suggested.

"No," Billy shook his head. "If Arthur Fowler and Bessie Charleston couldn't handle it, sending our people there won't help."

He took out his phone and sent a message to Stan Mitchell, instructing him to keep an eye on Alexandra Maynard. After putting away his phone, Billy considered their options and then looked at Night Orchid and the others.

"Night Orchid, you and the others go to that mountain village. Frostblade and I will take Azure Fang and go find the young Sect Master of the Crimson Sun Sect."

"Understood!" Night Orchid and the others replied loudly.

"Remember, don't take action unless it's absolutely necessary. Just ensure the safety of the villagers." Billy instructed once more.

"Yes, Commander!" Night Orchid and the others replied and then turned to head back along the path.

"Sorry, everyone, but none of you are leaving here today!" At that moment, a man's voice echoed in the air.

Immediately, a tremendous pressure enveloped the area, and even Michael, the weakest in terms of cultivation among them, felt like he was struggling to move.

"Hmm?" Billy's brow furrowed, and Night Orchid and the others wore grave expressions.

The overwhelming pressure clearly indicated the presence of a War God-Emperor Realm expert.

In the next moment, thirty to forty figures appeared from all around. They were all dressed in robes and wore black and white masks on their faces.

"Fuck, Ink Pavilion's people have arrived for real!" Judge and Soul Chaser cursed simultaneously.

Billy scanned the group of Ink

Pavilion members. He noticed that their formation was formidable. The leader was a genuine War God-Emperor, and the one behind him was a War Emperor at its peak. Besides them, there were two others at the War Grandmaster Later Stage, and the rest had at least reached the rank of Battle God.

"Back to the sect!" Seeing that Ink Pavilion's people had appeared, the Crimson Sun Sect members quickly ran up the stone stairs.

"These Crimson Sun Sect bastards dared to collude with Ink Pavilion. They must be tired of living!" Stout cursed.

Seeing this, they all understood what was happening. The Crimson Sun Sect was clearly buying time for Ink Pavilion. "Commander Gardner, I've heard about you for a long time." The leader of Ink Pavilion said as he looked at Billy.

"Unless I miss my guess, you should be another Protector of Ink Pavilion, right?" Billy replied casually.

"I am Ink Pavilion's Right Protector, Preston Page, Commander Gardner." The elder introduced himself and then turned to the three others behind him. "Introduce yourselves to Commander Gardner." "Yes, Lord Page!" The three of them replied and then turned to Billy.

"Ink Pavilion's Northern Leader, Stanley Morgan, greetings to Commander Gardner."

"Jade Balance, greetings to Commander Gardner."

"Opening Sun, greetings to Commander Gardner."
