After a moment had passed, the silence around them was broken.
"Hah! Master, this place is exactly where we were sent away!" Violet exclaimed.
She was the first one to recognize that place.
One by one, Tessa, Dahlia and her maid, Faye, also confirmed it.
All of them started to celebrate by cries of joy! "Great! We finally managed to leave that city of hell!" Dahlia was the most excited one and she shouted loudly, waving her hands wildly and jumping about.
"Master, what is actually going on?" Violet asked Austin through the spiritual sense.
Austin told her what had happened briefly.
Violet was enlightened. She never expected that the city was not a real city but actually a sacred weapon! And it had been refined by Austin, while everybody else did not know how to deal with it.
At that moment, the gnappeared beside Violet.
"Well, do you want to return to the city to have another look?" It seemed like everyone was excited to have escaped from that city, except Austin. He put forward a question that was lurking in his mind.
"What? Return to that city?" Tessa was puzzled.
"Did | hear it right? Are you suggesting that we go back to that city? We escaped from it after putting in great efforts.
No, | will never return to that place. It was like hell," Dahlia answered quickly in a disagreeing tone.
"Well, don't worry about the city now. As long as you want, you can enter or get out of it any time.
You will never be trapped by it anymore," Austin said.
Hearing what Austin said, the three girls, Tessa, Dahlia and her maid, Faye, were all stunned. They reacted differently from Violet and the gnome.
"Austin, are you serious? What do you mean by that?" Tessa could not help but ask him. She could not understand what was on Austin's mind.
"Tessa, why would | make a joke about it? Why would | joke with you?" Austin retorted with a smile.
In an instant, he controlled the weapon with his mind and soon a force could be felt. It transported all of them into the transmitting passage.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDahlia and Faye exclaimed loudly as they were not ready for it.
The next moment, all of them found themselves at a huge square, located before the Illusory Palace at the center of the city.
Tessa, Dahlia and Faye were startled when they realized this fact.
But before they could say anything or react to it, Austin surprised them more.
Austin sent all of them outside the city and back to the valley where they had been standing earlier. He did so by using the transmitting force of that sacred weapon.
'What is going on?’ The swift shifting between the locations stunned Tessa, Dahlia and Faye and they felt lost. After a long while, they woke up to face the reality and questioned Austin.
"Austin, how is this happening? It was just like you said—as long as we want, we are able enter or get out of the city any time." The previous experience left Tessa both surprised and joyful.
"Tessa, | did not tell you any joke, did I? You can get in or out of the city freely now." Though they didn't believe it earlier, now Tessa, Dahlia and Faye believed what Austin had told them.
Curious enough, the three started to ask Austin how it was possible.
However, Austin did not want them to know much about it. He wanted to tell Tessa but had to stop himself due to Dahlia and Faye's presence.
Slowly Austin was assured about one thing. It was about the position of the two girls. Something made him think that they enjoyed a high rank or position in the Veritable Demon Sect.
But the relationship between him and the Veritable Demon Sect was difficult to define yet. They might be enemies or friends in the future.
The level of this weapon should be much higher than divine weapons.
Gradually Austin was able to understand the fact that the precious jade landed its owner in jail, even though he was innocent! This weapon, the City as Austin called it, was too powerful and precious. If it was known to others, there might be someone who would want to steal or rob it. Austin could not remain cautious against that always.
So Austin did not tell the facts to the three of them.
After a while, Austin suggested that all the people return to the City and have srest there.
What had happened earlier inside the City had indeed made everyone tired.
Everyone agreed that they did need to have a good rest to refresh themselves and gather senergy for their bodies.
During this time, Austin searched through the City completely and carefully.
Doing so, he found something new there and felt surprised and delighted.
What he found now was that the City had great magical power of transporting a person to another area around it.
The area it was covering was as far as about 300 meters from it.
That meant, any cultivator could be transported into the City as long as he was not more than 300 meters far from it.
And it also depended on the cultivator's strength.
After careful research, Austin cto the conclusion that all the cultivators who had the cultivation base lower than the preliminary stage of Master Realm could be transported into the City according to the transmitting power of the City.
A cultivator at the medium stage of Master Realm could avoid being transported into the City if he'd react swiftly.
A cultivator with the premium stage of Master Realm or above could disregard the transporting power of the City easily.
If a cultivator, in the preliminary stage of Master Realm or below, was within 300 meters around the City, he could be affected.
The transporting power of the City could influence him! That was what Austin got to know about the City.
Besides, Austin also obtained something which surprised him and left him joyful.
Inside the secret room under the Illusory Palace, which was at the center of the City, he found something else.
He found three covert passages.
Each passage was connected to a storeroom. Thus, there were three storerooms to be explore in all.
Inside the first storeroom, about 200, 000 superior vital energy crystals were found.
In the second storeroom, there were about three hundred level six Soul-nourishing Elixirs and over one hundred level seven Spiritual Sense Enhancing Elixirs! Moving to the last storeroom, Austin found as many as one hundred corpse demons. Each corpse demon was as powerful as a cultivator at the premium stage of Imperial Realm! When Austin saw all these things inside the three storerooms he was overjoyed. He kept laughing to himself and his mouth could barely close. He gaped at them in amazement and happiness.
Austin spent stto get rid of the signs of the spiritual sense of Jim from the heads of the corpse demons. He had been the old leader of the City and they were all under his control.
Then he left his spiritual sense signs inside the heads of the corpse demons. In this way he could directly control all those one hundred corpse demons.
He had to do something of all those superior vital energy crystals and elixirs. So he put all of them in his own space ring.
Two days later, Austin controlled the transporting power of the City and made everybody leave.
They returned to the sky above that valley.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDuring the days when they were inside the City, Austin had put the City into the previous bird nest.
And the bird nest which was as big as a fist, was covered by dead twigs and withered leaves perfectly. He did it so that it would not be found by others easily.
After they cout of the City, Austin waved his hand and it flew into his hand. Austin put it in his pocket.
Soon, Austin and the others left the valley.
After all the tthey had been trapped in the City, they were now free to return to the Sunset Mountain.
"Master, how are you going to deal with the people inside the Illusory Palace?" Before they left the valley, Violet suddenly asked Austin.
There were still more than thirty people who were trapped inside the Illusory Palace.
They were the four cultivators at the Master Realm, Tyson, Gordon, Jake, Malick, and more than thirty cultivators at the premium stage of Imperial Realm.
Austin was now the owner of the City.
So the destinies of all these people lay under Austin's control.
"Violet, please tellsomething. If | had not gone there in tto save you guys, do you think the other people, including Jake, would have let you go?" Austin asked after contemplating for a few seconds.
"They surely would not have let us go. If you had appeared a little late, we probably would have been killed there," Violet answered.
Austin continued, "Earlier in the Sunset Mountain, | had killed almost sixty disciples of the Sky Sect.
One day the Sky Sect will take revenge for that. They will never let it go easily.
Besides, | can notice from Malick's expression that he keeps thinking about the Sword Emperor.
If | release him, he will probably go back to find other powerful people and fight against me.
Moreover, due to Mark and the Magic Harp Player, I've also offended both the New Moon Sect and the Ghost Puppet Sect.
I'm sure the people around the Crystal Mine Mountain have seen the shadow of the Sword Emperor.
So, at this moment, maybe all the large sects, such as the Sky Sect, the New Moon Sect and the Ghost Puppet Sect, are all searching for me.
If | let these people out, my location will probably be found out in a short time.
So keeping all this in mind, do you still think | should let these people out?" Hearing Austin's words, Violet agreed that it was not safe for him to let those people out now.
Otherwise, the news about Austin's whereabouts would surely be known by these large sects. And his life would be under threat if they all united and cfor him.
