Honestly, Jim's spiritual sense was extremely strong. He immediately felt what had happened moments ago.
When all the beast soul energy which extended around Jim was crashed to pieces, the gnalso took a step back, uttering a slight snort.
"Gnome, are you alright?" On noticing the gnome's movement, Austin and Violet asked in unison.
"I'm fine. Don't worry! A little injury like this doesn't mean anything to me!" The gnshook his head and comforted them.
After steadying his breath, the gncontinued to talk with them, "Austin, judging by the thoughts that | felt in this old man's mind, this one would not be kind to us. We ought to be careful around him.
When | probed into his mind, | learnt after scratching through the ideas in his mind that he plans to attach his soul to other's body.
And his target seems to be you!" The gnstopped and looked at Austin to let him take in the information.
"Attaching his soul to other's body? Does he plan to rob my body and replace me?" Austin was surprised to hear that and fell blank. But he had to be clear what the intentions of the man were and how he was to prevent it from happening.
Austin certainly knew the meaning of attaching one's soul to other's body. It was from his past experience. When he was still at the cultivation base of the Energy Gathering Realm, he had been almost replaced by a monkey who had succeeded in entering his Soul Sea. At that time, his spiritual souls were almost ruined by the monkey's attack.
He glanced at the sacrificial altar which was at a distance from them. It was the place where Jim's old withered body was guarded by dozens of corpse demons.
A previous memory flashed before his eyes. Austin recollected the twhen Jim had invited him to meet him in the middle of the city. At that time, this old castellan had repeatedly praised Austin's potential and talents.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow as Austin thought over it again, he finally understood the reason why Jim had invited him to meet there. It was clear that he had planned to rob Austin's young body and attach his soul to replace him! Jim was really sinister. He could stoop to the lowest levels.
Austin's perspective was always firm. He would not flinch from his ideology. He believed in the principle that he would never provoke others, if others did not offend him. However, if someone attacked him, he would not compromise or let it go.
Therefore, he felt a fury rage within him. Once he found out about Jim's plan, he could not believe that he was almost cheated by Jim.
"Austin, this old man's spiritual sense will becstronger and stronger each the eats the spiritual souls of other cultivators of the Imperial Realm. After he eats up all the spiritual souls there at the sacrificial altar, especially the spiritual souls of the four cultivators of the Master Realm, he will definitely start to attack and kill us.
Judging by the strength of his terrifying spiritual sense, | am afraid we are no match for him." The gncontinued to reveal, his voice heavy and his face grim.
"We need to find a way to stop him. Let's quickly think about something to tackle him." Violet had understood the seriousness of the current situation and spoke anxiously.
"Yes, that's right. We must stop him." Austin nodded in agreement. After he got to know Jim's intention, he would definitely not stay quiet. He would try his best to counterattack and get rid of such an ominous man.
"Let's try our best! Gnome, listen and think hard about it. Is there any possibility or way that we can stop him from eating those spiritual souls on the sacrificial altar?" Austin turned to gnome, thinking of a plan. Based on gnome's space talent and his powerful beast soul energy, which was stronger than even Austin's, he believed that the gnhad the ability to guard himself even if he entered that sacrificial altar.
The gngave it a little thought and said, "Ha ha! Yes, you are right! Even though | cannot defeat that old man, | still can do something to divert his attention. | am sure that he cannot harmmuch." The gnwas quite confident of his abilities. After creating a ripple in the space, the gndisappeared. The next moment, he reappeared at a corner of the altar.
Austin then ordered Violet to take Tessa and other girls far away from the sacrificial altar. He also took out all the corpse generals and corpse demons from the corpse bags he had with him. He quickly released all the diabolic beasts he had obtained, including the nine scorpion-tailed leopards. He put them in place in order to protect those girls.
Arter all these things were settled down, he carried out the Thunderbolt Movement Skill to rush to the sacrificial altar.
Though there were many magic arrays around the sacrificial altar, Austin and the gnwere not affected by them. They were unharmed because of their strong spiritual sense.
These magic arrays were set up mainly to trap those in the sacrificial altar and prevent them from leaving the altar. Therefore, it did not have great impact on those who wanted to enter the altar from the outside.
Austin reached the sacrificial altar almost instantly.
"It is you!" When Austin appeared at the altar, Malick and the heads of the other three sects shouted immediately after they recognized him.
Certainly, they were not in a position to attack Austin. In the current situation, they had their own problems which were to save themselves. They did not have extra tnor energy to deal with the previous grievances and conflicts with Austin.
"Young man, what on earth do you think you are doing? Why are you here?" Jim shouted at Austin when he saw those two enter the altar, almost at the stime.
"Hmmm. | used to treat you like a master earlier because | respected you.
However, | never thought that you can be so wicked. Why did you askto chere? What was your plan? You don't want to tellmore about it, do you?" Austin stared at Jim's huge shadow coldly.
"Well, in that case, young man, you already know all the answers, don't you? Letguess. Moments ago, it was this gnwho was probing into my mind to learn about my thoughts. So | guess now you know my plan already.
| never knew that a gncould have the ability to pry into other person's mind.
This point, | never found or read in any ancient book.
Ha ha! This little creature. He did surprise me!" Jim was very clever. Very easily and quickly, he realized that Austin must have learnt from the gnabout his plan of attaching to Austin's body.
"That's right. However, are you really sure you can attach yourself to my body and replace my soul? | advise you not to be so optimistic before the last minute," Austin responded calmly, displaying no fear of Jim.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Hmm! Young man, now that you know my plan, what difference will it make? After you entered into this Illusory Palace, your fate has been decided.
| will take your body once this Sacrifice Array is completed.
So, young man, enjoy the last few moments. Don't say anything which will invoke my fury!" Now that his intention was clear for everyone, Jim did not need to pretend to be polite towards Austin.
"Oh, really? So, the way you are eating those people's spiritual souls is called the Sacrifice Array.
Well, now | know that. Just wait and watch. Let's see whether you are able to complete your array smoothly!" Austin immediately directed his voice to the gnby spiritual sense. He had to give him certain instructions.
"Go and unite with those cultivators who are remaining there on the altar. Let's work together to stop this Sacrifice Array!" At the stime, he too rushed towards the four cultivators of the Master Realm.
After a short discussion, he got to know that, except Malick, the other three cultivators of the Master Realm were the castellans of this weird city. And they were also the disciples of Jim, who was the real castellan of this weird city.
Austin was shocked that Jim was even making use of his disciples for this Sacrifice Array.
At that moment, besides those four cultivators of the Master Realm, there were around forty refiners of the Imperial Realm on the altar.
These forty refiners of the Imperial Realm who persisted Jim's attacks till now were definitely at the strongest level of the Imperial Realm. Every one of them had the cultivation base of the premium stage of Imperial Realm.
When they heard that Austin was planning to stop Jim's Sacrifice Array, they could not stop themselves and had sarcastic looks on their faces.
Four cultivators of the Master Realm and so many refiners of the Imperial Realm had struggled for a long tbut could not stop this Sacrifice Array. Neither did they have any method to run away from this altar.
Austin had only the cultivation base of the medium stage of Sky Realm and he dared to challenge and make plans to stop Jim's Sacrifice Array. Their mind had just one question - Was this a fantasy?
