The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 420

Chapter 420 Stubborn Denial

"White Tiger, have you ascertained their strength?" asked Casey.

"They have a Supreme Master and seven Vice Masters, but I don't have detailed information about their levels. Even the elders from Dark Cabinet don't know." White Tiger replied with a slight shake of his head.

"Other than these eight individuals, the rest of them are probably at least Half-Step War God-Emperors." He continued.

Stout coughed awkwardly.

"White Tiger, are you playing with us? You want us to attack when we don't even know the strength of their top eight members?" Stout questioned. "What if some War God-Emperors at the late stage or higher suddenly appear? We'd be in big trouble!"

"Kid, mind your own business!" White Tiger scolded him with a glare before turning his attention back to Billy. "Boss, during my investigations, I found out that Place of Darkness has rules similar to those in our homeland. War God-Emperor-level experts are not allowed to attack those below the War Emperor level, or else the rule protectors will intervene."

"Hmm." Billy nodded.

This was something he had heard from that old man. True War God-Emperors were incredibly powerful and had the potential to kill thousands with a single move. Without rules to limit them, the world would be in chaos. Hence, every region had rule protectors, extraordinary individuals who enforced these regulations. For instance, in Glavale, the faction of Ether Mountain served as rule protectors. If a War God-Emperor broke the rules and attacked others recklessly, they would face retribution from the rule protectors.

Last time, Ivy Chandler had appeared in the eastern district, not only to assist Billy but also to monitor two War God-Emperor-level warriors, Inkforge and Nigel Becker.

Of course, as the young master of Ether Mountain, Billy had his own responsibilities in this regard.

"By the way, boss, I suspect that the mysterious expert who helped us might be a rule protector of Place of Darkness." White Tiger recalled. "But I can't be certain."

"Are you serious?" Black Tortoise questioned. "Based on your description, she's definitely a War God-Emperor. She killed those from Temple of Slaughter, how could she explain herself when she returns?"

"Considering that everyone from Temple of Slaughter is dead, and there's no one left to speak of the incident, she might just get away with it." Azure Dragon replied him.

"All right," Black Tortoise agreed, realizing that Azure Dragon had a point.

"She may not necessarily be a rule protector, and she might not even belong to Place of Darkness." Billy speculated, his expression thoughtful. "There might be more to this than we think."

"Boss, do you have any guesses?" Casey asked.

"Not yet, but I have a feeling that some things aren't as simple as we think." Billy replied. With that, he turned to White Tiger and asked, "Have you determined the positions of the eight sub-temples of Sanctum of Darkness?"

"Yes," White Tiger confirmed. "There is at least one late-stage War Emperor in each of them, and they have three War Emperors at the peak level."

"Tsk tsk, Sanctum of Darkness seems quite powerful," Stout remarked, sounding a bit surprised.

"In that case, let's pay a visit to the strongest temple first." Billy suggested, narrowing his eyes.

"Understood!" Casey and the others responded in unison.

"Alright, let's meet with everyone outside." Billy said, rising from his seat and heading toward the door. The others followed him.

"Commander Gardner!"

When they reached the central courtyard, three to four thousand people bowed and saluted Billy. Their eyes were filled with admiration. Though these individuals weren't directly under Billy's command, as Glavalean warriors, it was customary to bow and show respect when they encountered the King of the West, Commander Gardner. Moreover, if it weren't for Billy's arrangement to send reinforcements, many of them would have perished today.

Billy acknowledged with a nod as he looked at the crowd.

"Thank you, Commander Gardner, for saving our lives!" the other three leaders, aside from Orson Harding, expressed their gratitude.

"Please rise," Billy raised his hand.
