"Master, we can't thank you enough for your patronage!" Inside the secret room, the two middle-aged men were excited about the rewards that were promised to them by the old man.
They bowed to thank him.
They knew that the seemingly ordinary and lifeless old man was a big fish in the pond. He had extraordinary power over other cultivators in the PrMartial World. Once he recovered fully, using his strength, he could dominate the PrMartial World again.
In that case, being his disciples, the two of them could follow the old man as he did everything as per his will in the PrMartial World. That would bring them so many benefits.
One of the middle-aged men, who was standing beside the old man suddenly paused. There was excitement on his face.
"Master, just now | received information from the patrol servants that among the cultivators who were transmitted here by the array, one cultivator is at the Master Realm! Besides him, there are dozens of cultivators who are at the Imperial Realm! And hundreds of cultivators are at the Sky Realm." "Master Realm! Ha-ha. Cultivators at the Master Realm seldom visit the Sunset Mountain. But it looks like one has fallen into my trap now. God is helpingtoo! Recently, | entered the critical healing phase and need a number of high quality souls as healing resources.
Tyson, and Gordon! | want both of you to lead our men and capture those cultivators who are at the Master Realm and the Imperial Realm. They will be sacrificed to extract their spiritual souls from their bodies. | will refine their spiritual souls right away.
As for the cultivators at the Sky Realm, the soul-consuming fog will trap their spiritual souls easily. So, both of you can just ignore them as of now." The old man was extremely excited because the spiritual souls of a Master Realm cultivator would provide him with a lot of energy.
It would enable him to heal his injuries.
He had never imagined that one day a Master Realm cultivator would cto the remote Sunset Mountain and fall into his hands.
He couldn't wait to extract the spiritual souls of the Master Realm cultivator and of those Imperial Realm cultivators for his recovery.
"Yes, Master!" Both the disciples of the old man left the secret room to carry out his orders.
At the stime, Austin led Tessa, Dahlia, and her female attendant Faye ahead. They kept walking along the poor and old streets to explore the city.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll along their way, Austin tried many times to fly in the air, but every the was pulled down to the ground by a mysterious, great, invisible force, whenever he rose 1 or 2 meters above the ground.
Although his cultivation base was at the medium stage of Sky Realm, his real strength was more than most of the masters at the premium stage of Sky Realm.
Compared to the cultivators at the Imperial Realm, Austin was not inferior to them either.
And above all, Austin's physical strength reached 400, 000 pounds which was a huge amount of force.
Therefore, the comprehensive power of his physical strength and his cultivation base made him equal to a cultivator at the premium stage of Imperial Realm.
Yet, possessing such powerful strength, he was unable to resist the strange force which kept dragging him down to the ground whenever he attempted to fly.
Unable to overcthe horrible and invisible force, Austin felt a little powerless. It surprised and annoyed him.
After trying hard for a few more times, Austin finally gave up. He accepted the fact that he couldn't fly away from the ground in this city.
The strength of the three girls, who were with Austin, was much inferior to his. However, their cultivation base was at the Sky Realm which meant that they had the ability to fly with the support of their vital energy. But they too couldn't fly now. They were baffled by it too.
"Austin, what's going on? Why can't we fly in this city?" Tessa asked.
"I think that the city was set up with a huge array. Or it might be under srestraints that restricts cultivators from flying," Austin told them. That was the only answer he could cup with.
"Lecher, what can we do to leave here? This place is so weird. | don't want to stay here anymore," the girl robed in purple said in low spirits. She had lost her patience. But who could blher? It was frustrating as they had been stuck in the strange city for two days.
While they spoke, a huge grey fog showed up in front of them and almost covered the sky. It was the sfog that they had met before.
"God, it's the damn fog again. We should leave this place quickly!" They saw the grey fog. The girl clothed in purple robes panicked and was afraid of getting stuck in the fog. They could feel that the fog had many spiritual souls within. She pulled her attendant and turned around to leave.
However, Austin was overjoyed to see the grey fog because last twhen he was stuck in the fog, he had refined the spiritual souls present in it with the Soul-transforming Skill. After that, his spiritual sense had increased a lot.
Although in his Soul Sea, there was a Soul-warming Bead that continuously nourished his spiritual sense, it strengthened his spiritual sense too slowly. Soul-warming Bead's function was to nourish one's spiritual continuously. With it, Austin's spiritual sense could be enhanced every second even if he stopped cultivation. Though it worked without stopping, it was a slow process.
Now, in the fog there were so many spiritual souls in front of him. He did not want to miss a chance that could strengthen his spiritual sense quickly.
"You'd better stay put," Austin spoke those words in a breath and disappeared using his fast body movement skill. When he showed up, he had already entered the grey fog. He sat down with his legs crossed and started to perform the Soul-transforming Skill.
It amused Austin that as soon as he entered the fog, numerous and dense spiritual souls rushed and caught hold of him immediately.
"Body. Body..." they exclaimed as they approached Austin.
Each spiritual soul was excited to see him in the fog.
But when Austin began the Soul-transforming Skill, the spiritual sense chain quickly pulled the spiritual souls that were nearby into his Soul Sea. Soon his spiritual sense started to refine them.
The stronger one's spiritual sense was, the faster the soul-refining speed would be. By the virtue of his spiritual sense, which was even stronger than that of cultivator of Master Realm, he refined those spiritual souls in super-fast speed.
"I assthat Austin is practicing his skills. So we'd better stay here and not bother him," Tessa said to the girl in purple robes, after she examined Austin's behavior. She too started thinking about something related to cultivation.
"Oh, god! How could he practice his skills in such a dangerous situation?!" The girl in purple robes said with resignation. She found it weird.
As a matter of fact, she had already sensed that Austin was practicing his skills. After all, she belonged to a big sect. She had seen weirder things and knew much more than others.
Tessa, the girl in purple and the girl's attendant, stood as they marveled at Austin. They saw him sitting with his legs crossed. He sat undeterred and calmly in the fog which contained many spiritual souls.
They had no idea how horrible the spiritual souls in the grey fog were. Generally, as soon as a cultivator entered the fog, he would get lost there and his spiritual sense would fall apart from his body. Finally, he would becone of the spiritual souls that were stuck in the fog.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Austin was able to use those spiritual souls to practice his skills. What an abnormal man he was! The three girls realized that the spiritual souls disappeared as soon as they moved closer to Austin. It confirmed their guess.
"Well, | have to accept this since we have no better options. It was my bad luck to meet that lecher though!" the girl who wore purple robes said, pouting. Although she wanted to find a way to get out of this strange city as soon as possible, she didn't dare to leave without Austin. Therefore, she had to stay quiet and wait.
"Dahlia, it was the fact that we had decided to follow him and chase him down that put us in such an awkward situation," the attendant beside the girl in purple said.
"If | knew that | would fall into this weird place, | would have not cout of my hand chased him. You know that | always do things on impulse. Why didn't you persuadenot to go out? You're to be blamed for this!" the girl in purple complained.
Hearing that, Tessa couldn't help laughing to herself. "What an unreasonable princess, ' she thought.
While Austin was refining the spiritual souls in the grey fog, on the other side, a sturdy man was sitting at the center of a large square. Blade intent was flowing around him.
That man was Malick, the cultivator at the Master Realm from the Sky Sect! He was following Austin. Unfortunately, like Austin, he too fell into this weird city and had been stuck there for the last two days.
When he had entered the city, he found that his spiritual sense was suppressed by something. He could only sense a range of dozens of meters.
Besides, like Austin and the three girls, he too could only walk in this city instead of flying.
During the last two days, Malick kept looking for a way out of the city, but the city was so big that it was hard to find the exit only by walking.
What was worse, he could encounter the grey fog any ton his way to find the exit. Once he got trapped in the fog, he would be at the risk of getting lost. With a second of negligence, his spiritual soul would part from his body and beca wandering ghost.
But Malick was a master of the Master Realm, so his spiritual sense was powerful. As a blade cultivator who practiced the blade martial art, he had a stronger mind and wouldn't lose himself so easily. He could get rid of the fog.
Though he had a stronger spiritual sense, Malick felt more and more nervous after two days of looking for the exit in vain. When he encountered the square, he found it large enough and there was no grey fog. So he walked towards the square to have a short break.
He sat down, crossed his legs and closed his eyes to rest. After a while, his expression changed because he found that a group of cultivators was walking in his direction. They were led by three cultivators.
They were the leaders of the Flying Fish Sect, the Iron Palm Sect and the Evergreen Sect. They were leading their subordinates towards that square.
While Malick had sensed them, they found Malick who was at the center of the square.
Malick!" The leaders of the three sects whispered the nand paused at the stime. They were surprised to see him there. They stared at him with shock and confusion all over their faces.
Malick was a famous cultivator of the Master Realm. The leaders of the three sects were like weak and feeble ants in front of this really powerful cultivator.
