"Hum, those six beasts must be this little thief's trickery." The patriarch of the Wei Clan was both surprised and angry to see that a juvenile of less than twenty years' age was outstanding enough to control six ninth-level scorpion-tailed leopards.
'He could have been invincible in the Sky Realm with those six scorpion-tailed leopards alone.
Where is this mysterious and powerful young man from? Does he belong to the Meng Clan? If he is really from the Meng Clan, that means that heaven never sealed off all of the exists to the Meng Clan." Suddenly, the patriarch recalled something else.
‘Damn it. If this youth had stolen into the Crystal Cave and thieved our vital energy crystals away, then he should certainly have met my father.
Yet he has left the Crystal Cave haughtily and unscathed, which means that the worst must have befallen my father.’ The thought of this jolted the patriarch violently and he felt his outrage building.
At this moment, a group of forty or fifty of the Wei Clan members rushed out of the cave opening, shouting loudly enough to wake the dead.
"Have you seen the senior patriarch in the Crystal Cave?" Concerned about the safety of his father, the patriarch of the Wei Clan immediately questioned them when he saw them.
"The senior patriarch?" All of the clan members storming from the cave were amazed at his question.
"Seems we haven't," sof them whispered.
"But we found a body already torn to shreds at the end of the hall, it should not have been there. Perhaps that was he?" sof them muttered.
"What? A body torn apart? Could it be?" the patriarch worried.
"Patriarch, no vital energy crystals were left in the cave, what has happened?" Another clan member queried, their tone filled with confusion.
The patriarch of the Wei Clan was taken aback and stunned into speechlessness.
"No need to ask them, you should ask me.
You mean to ask about an old man whose cultivation base was at the primary stage of the Imperial Realm? He has been easily torn to pieces by me!" Austin's voice sounded harshly into the stunned silence. At that moment he had put the six scorpion-tailed leopards into his beast- subduing bag.
Seeing the patriarch of the Wei Clan so anxious, he guessed at shidden truth and had to chuckle while he spoke the words.
"Father!" Hearing Austin's callous words, a wave of dizziness washed over the patriarch.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThose clan members who didn't know what had happened stared about in confusion, nor did they dare to ask the patriarch as he was so exasperated and dejected.
"Surround that little thief, | shall dismember him into pieces!" The patriarch of the Wei Clan roared from between clenched teeth, he was almost blinded by rage and hatred of Austin.
"Ha-ha, dismemberinto pieces, will you? You and what army? Your rubbish warriors? Those impotent brutes? Could you ever?" Austin laughed loudly but without mirth at their poultry challenge.
"Well, | am leaving!" He had obtained the vital energy crystals which he had cfor. Now he was ready to go back and complete the task entrusted to him by Michelle by returning the vital energy crystals to their rightful owners.
As for the Wei Clan members, Austin could have slaughtered all of them with his ferocious strength, including the patriarch, but that was not his intention because he personally held no serious hatred towards them at all.
He had broken into the crystal mine belonging to the Wei Clan simply because he had promised Michelle to retrieve the vital energy crystals which originally belonged to the Meng Clan.
Now that he had taken back those vital energy crystals, he chose to leave immediately and avoid further conflict with the Wei Clan.
"Stop him, don't let him escape! It will be the end of our clan if he gets away." The patriarch was almost fuming with indignation.
He took the lead and rushed over at Austin after swallowing his anger.
The remaining clansmen, including swhose cultivation base was at the Sky Realm, and those clan members who had called out, gathered around Austin. Their faces were crimson with anger and they boiled with indignation at having been forced to swallow sof their own medicine, with Austin taking the crystals back.
Austin smiled slightly and then disappeared, he was already 800 meters away from them when he appeared again.
All of the Wei Clan members and clansmen closed in on the space where he had been, but found nothing.
Swith more powerful spiritual senses immediately detected Austin's figure 800 meters away from them.
They were all slack-jawed as they stared at the place where he had been, for nobody had seen such a swift bodily movement skill before. He was like a ghost! "Chase after him!" The patriarch realized Austin's new position first and pursued after him.
Yet Austin exercised his bodily movement skill and, in a few blinks of an eye, he was already almost 2000 meters away from them, leaving only a shadow behind that was barely visible to the naked eye.
All of a sudden, Violet's voice reached into Austin's Soul Sea.
"Master, gnhas found something.
Over there in the northeast corner. Something seems to be buried under the ground." "Oh?" Austin becamused and curious.
"Master, gnsays that the place is worth exploring. It got a whiff of a particular smell from there.
The gnwas born sensitive to the treasures of heaven and earth. | think his feelings are pretty accurate." "We will go there and do sexploration after handing over these vital energy crystals to the Meng Clan." The decision was quickly made after a brief consideration, then he touched his tiptoe on the ground and vanished from sight.
Fifteen minutes later.
Under the moonlight, a group of people in black seemed to be waiting for something, their faces were also covered with black cloth leaving only their eyes exposed.
"Dad, we already sent Austin to break into the crystal mine which belongs to the Wei Clan, could this have been too hasty? Austin does has an outstanding strength, but there are also a lot of master-hands in the Wei Clan.
Austin will be thoroughly outnumbered. What if something bad has happened to him?" a slender figure asked in a gentle, feminine voice to a burly, shadowy figure next to it.
"He told us what to do. There is nothing else | can do to help him.
He said that we should follow his plan if we want him to help.
It was his idea that we dress in black and wait for him at the crossing.
| don't think Austin is an unreasonably rash man. Hence he arranged for us to wait here.
He must have a lot of confidence in his plan." "Dad, we'll do as you say, but | think we are a little hasty.
| suggest that we break into the crystal mine of the Wei Clan and support Austin with our clansmen.
Or else, he might die if he faces so many rivals alone and without any support.” It turned out that the shadowy figures were all members of the Meng Clan.
The whispered conversation was between Marwell and his daughter Michelle.
"Well, let's wait for a little while longer. If nothing happens, then we rush into the crystal mine of the Wei Clan.
We can't permit Austin to risk his life all alone for us," Marwell said as he nodded in consent.
Michelle felt quite assured by her father's wise words.
The thought of what Austin had done that night while in her boudoir crept into her mind, and her face flushed hot under the mask while her heart thumped rhythmically.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ha-ha, thank you for your concern about me, Patriarch Marwell and Miss Michelle.
There's no need for concern though, as | am already safely returned." A chuckle sounded near them in the dark.
Then a figure appeared in the moonlight and glimmered a few times.
It was Austin.
"God!" All the clan members, including Marwell and Michelle, gasped as they witnessed Austin's ghostly bodily movement skill. It was indeed a sight to behold.
"Patriarch, here, take them.
All the vital energy crystals mined from the crystal mine of the Wei Clan are here.
| think that these vital energy crystals should be enough to see you through the crisis," so saying, Austin tossed two Space Rings to Marwell.
Marwell stretched out his hands subconsciously and caught them, his spiritual sense went into the rings, exploring their contents.
Instantly, his breath becheavier and he gasped.
"Brother Austin, why so many vital energy crystals?" Marwell asked in surprise.
"I just wanted to take back the quota which belonged to our clan.
You should take the rest of them, Brother Austin!" The Leader of the Meng Clan decided as he regained his composure.
"No need for that.
| have a lot of this kind of vital energy crystals.
Well, | have sother business tonight, Patriarch Marwell and Miss Michelle.
You'd better return as soon as possible. | think the Wei Clan members will be here soon.
It won't be good if they discover your trail." With a flash, Austin was already a few hundred meters away.
"Austin, will you cback to my clan?" Michelle cried out, completely disregarding her image as a chaste maiden. Seeing Austin rushing off without taking his leave, she looked blank and lost after his disappearing figure.
"Ha-ha, it depends, Miss Michelle. | will cback as soon as | can." Then his voice vanished into the dark night.
