The Supreme God of Martial Arts

It was the middle of the night.

There were many stars glittering in the black sky. Their lights shone down on the dark brown ground of nothing, making the scenery ahead look like a mysterious painting on a canvas, partly hidden and partly visible.

Suddenly, ahead of Austin, the scenery changed. It happened so fast. A lot of houses made of rocks appeared on the ground which moments ago was empty. Not just that, there were also many people moving around. Another thing which caught his attention was the presence of many vital energy crystal mines which also appeared on the land that was vacant moments ago.

Despite the houses, mines and people moving around, the place felt dark and gloomy. There was something insidious. The stone houses were small and short. The dark brown rocks and the vital energy crystal mines made the place look lifeless.

Far away from Austin, there were a few miners climbing up and down the mines from tto time. They had strange blank looks on their faces. They kept doing the work in a monotonous way, as if they had lost their lives and souls. They looked like empty vessels doing the work they were assigned to do.

This lifeless place was the vital energy crystal district of the Wei family in Stone City.

Austin was hiding behind a big dark brown rock that was high enough to hide a tall person. It covered him completely.

He had been able to convince Marwell and Michelle to take their people who were perfectly disguised to calmly wait for him and secretly help him from afar. He had chere alone in the vital energy crystal district of the Wei family, to get the vital energy crystals.

"It looks like | am in the right place. This must be the vital energy crystal district of the Wei family.

Now | have to find the Crystal Cave where they keep the vital energy crystals first. Then | will decide what to do next," Austin spoke to himself.

According to Marwell, there was a cave for vital energy crystals in every vital energy crystal district. The cave was for keeping the vital energy crystals that were extracted from the mines.

Marwell had also revealed that the Crystal Cave was usually under the ground, in a very secret place.

"Master, | think that you can give this task to the gnome. He is naturally skilled to locate these kinds of crystals. You just have to ask him to go around the whole district and he will surely end up finding the cave.

Upon that, the gnis also gifted by the ability to defend himself from the search performed by anyone's spiritual sense." All of a sudden, Violet's voice echoed in the Soul Sea of Austin. She had an apt suggestion.

Austin thought over the idea. He was aware of the gnome's talent. The spiritual sense was useless on him as it could hardly trace his presence. Besides, when he used his bodily movement skill, he was extremely fast and couldn't be caught easily.

Finding it feasible, he nodded his head. He let the gnout from the Illusion Bead and spoke to him for a few moments. He wanted to give him certain instructions before sending him off. Then he let him go alone to search for the Crystal Cave of the Wei family.

Though the gncouldn't talk, he was very intelligent and understood when he was spoken to. He nodded his head at Austin, and quickly left. In a few seconds, he vanished from sight under the star lit sky.

Austin couldn't help but secretly praise the gnome's fast bodily movement skill. Though the gnome's bodily movement skill was not better than his, it was still very good.

"All of you, be careful! Only a few days are left for us to offer the vital energy crystals. We can't let anything go wrong at this crucial time!" A tall man shouted in a loud voice that echoed in the lifeless place.

Far away, around the stone houses which had light, there were more than ten groups of men patrolling the grounds back and forth.

This place was perfectly guarded, and there were many guards. It was secured well and nobody could enter the place without drawing any attention.

"It looks like the Wei family has also strengthened their security in these few days.

Of course! They have to. After all, they robbed the vital energy crystals from the Meng family, so they have to make sure that the members of the Meng family don't get the chance to do the sthing and rob their vital energy crystals.

No wonder they have this place so well guarded." Marwell had told Austin that the powers of the Wei family and the Meng family were alike. The most powerful martial artists from both their families were at the premium stage of Sky Realm.

If the Meng family had not lost many of its good martial artists stago, they would have surely had the power to fight against the Wei family.

It was a fact that the premium stage of the Sky Realm was not that good in the whole Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom. But it was good enough for a small family in a small town to have more than ten martial artists who were at the Sky Realm.

After all, in the Violet Orchid Empire, only a few royals had been able to reach the stage of the Sky Realm.

Compared to that, in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom, two small families in a small town had more than ten people who were at the Sky Realm.

The power of a small family equaled the power of a whole empire! That was really hard to believe.

But Austin paid no attention to their power. They were just at the Sky Realm after all. Austin wouldn't have hesitated to break in even if they were at the Imperial Realm.

A few moments later, under the light of the stars, a small figure reappeared in front of Austin. It was the gnome. He had returned, hopefully with sinformation.

The gnmade a few gestures to Austin, pointing at a spot which was a little far from their current position.
