The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 316 No Taste for the Mundane World

"Boss, how is he?" Frostblade asked again after Billy removed his hand.

"He's hurt bad, it's a miracle he's still alive." Billy replied with a grim expression. "They intended to strike through Ebony Lord's heart with a single palm, but luckily, he had his Chi to protect him, or he'd be dead by now."

Having said that, Billy took out silver needles from his pocket and began to treat Ebony Lord. After placing nine needles, he channeled his Chi into Ebony Lord's Dantian. After a while, Frostblade and the others saw black blood seeping from the base of the needles near the palm imprint.

Around twenty minutes later, the palm imprint gradually turned dark red, and the surrounding skin returned to normal. Billy then removed the needles one by one.

"Commander, is he going to be alright?" Wally Hammond asked.

"He won't wake up for a while," Billy responded before taking a piece of paper and pen from the coffee table and writing a prescription for the medical hall personnel. "Get these ingredients and make a poultice for Ebony Lord."

"Yes!" the two nodded and left.

"Help Ebony Lord to his room and have someone watch over him for twenty-four hours." Billy instructed Wally Hammond.

"Yes, sir!" Wally Hammond responded and, along with two SHADOW members, assisted Ebony Lord to his room.

"What's next?" Frostblade asked Billy.

"Tell me about the major families in Earthford." Billy said thoughtfully.

"Alright," Frostblade said after pouring a glass of water for Billy.

"The prominent families in Earthford are similar to those in Enssea. Apart from the four major families, there's another clan, one of Glavale's five Earth-ranked prominent clans, the Riley Clan." "Hmm," Billy nodded slightly. He was well aware of the prominent clans within their territory.
