As he sneaked into the Sky Sect's stronghold, Austin, with his spiritual sense, discovered that this place's defenses had been greatly enhanced.
When he broke in secretly earlier in the day, only a few people were on patrol.
That was why he was able to free Michelle and Joyce without getting into any trouble.
But now, he noticed that people were taking turns patrolling in line.
Soon after, Austin spotted two cultivators with the highest cultivation in the stronghold.
'One is at the medium stage of Master Realm, and the other is at the preliminary stage of Master Realm.
| didn't expect that there would be two Master Realm cultivators here, ' he thought, his eyes narrowing.
Since he was in such a hurry to save the two girls earlier, he didn't notice that there were such powerful cultivators in the stronghold.
"Looks like it's going to be a little difficult to destroy this place," the gnwhispered.
He then walked out of the void.
Hearing that, Austin couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, it seemed like they had a huge challenge before them.
"Well," he started, rolling his eyes. "Even if | can't ruin this place and slaughter everyone in here, | will turn this place into such a mess to the point that they wouldn't be able to recognize it.
| will let them know that they messed up with the wrong person," Austin finished, a naughty smile on his face.
He then pushed his palm upwards and a scarlet flappeared over it. The red-hot blaze danced, and it exuded a formidable aura that could burn in all directions and destroy everything in its path.
It was the Scorching Evil Fire.

Despite his seemingly calm demeanor, deep inside, the gnstarted to get very scared. His heart even started beating a lot faster.
"Before | fight with them, why don't | give them a gift first? What do you think?" Smiling, Austin slowly lifted and started floating in mid-air.
Then, he suddenly disappeared from where he was. Within seconds, he flew back and forth above the Sky Sect's stronghold like a lightning.
He was doing all of these all the while channeling his vital energy into the Scorching Evil Fire over his palm.
Under the Scorching Evil Fire, his vital energy turned into golden flames, and fell.
Slowly, golden flames started raining down the Sky Sect's stronghold. At first it was sparse, then it becsevere. It was as if God was punishing the area, as fire rained down.
It was Austin's idea to combine the Scorching Evil Fire with his vital energy after he had carefully refined his Scorching Evil Fire.
By using the Scorching Evil Fire to burn his vital energy, it formed golden flames.
With the combination of both, the golden flames that were currently raining down on the Sky Sect's stronghold was indistinguishable.
They would be able to burn down everything they touch in an instant. Nothing would be able to stop them.
Soon enough, the place started to burn, but the people residing in it were still oblivious to what was happening.
As the smoke rolled up into the sky and the fires illuminated everything around them, people becaware of what was happening and began exiting their houses.
"Oh my God! The house is on fire!" "Hurry up! Put it out!" Within seconds, everyone was screaming and panicking, wondering how suddenly everything was on fire.
"Look! The arsonist is over there!" one observant disciple said alertly, as he pointed at the dark sky.
He spotted a shadow above the stronghold moving fast, and wherever he paused, golden flames would fall.
"Who is that!" an angry male started shouting from the lobby.
The two people inside the lobby unleashed their spiritual senses and quickly detected Austin in mid-air.
They then rushed out of the door, jumped into air and headed towards Austin's direction.
It was Brent and Lu.
The two had been drinking and sulking in the living room as what happened today made them embarrassed and very furious.
Since they were not only Master Realm cultivators but also from the Sky Sect, no one in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom had ever dared to trick them or go against them. Well, that was until Austin appeared. He killed their companions, and took two girls from Brent. What made them more frustrated and furious was that they couldn't even track Austin down.
They were drinking to forget those unpleasant things when they found fire burning outside.
Brent stood on Austin's left while Lu was on Austin's right.
The two glared at Austin with hate and rage.
"You're Austin Lin, aren't you?" Brent asked slowly, as if giving his victim time.
He was ready to kill.
At that moment, Austin had already summoned back the Scorching Evil Fire into his body. With his hands behind his back, he stood in silence, poised.
After a few moments, he answered the question. "Yes, I'm Austin Lin. Your sect has offered a big reward for anyone who can capture me," he said, laughing coldly.
"Do you like the gift | gave you?" Austin asked, pointing at the fire ravaging the area below them.
"Austin, | don't know why you had the nerve to break in here again and appear in front of us.
But young man, you're going to pay for your reckless, arrogant actions.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYou can't get away this time!" Lu declared.
He originally didn't share the hatred Brent had for Austin, but after Austin decided to try and burn down his place while he was in charge, the feeling spread to him.
When he spoke, the violent and enormous vital energy gushed out from his body like a deluge.
Soon, his vital energy transformed into a sea, and its ripples turned into waves, spreading quickly and instantly covering the stronghold.
A scene suddenly appeared behind Lu. Large waves were rolling up, making a loud sound. In a minute, seawater rushed and flowed violently through the area, ready to tear down anything on its way.
"Lu, | didn't expect that you have mastered level 10 surge intent," Brent exclaimed in surprise.
His cultivation was higher than Lu's.
But as he saw the skill Lu had displayed, he was shocked and even started to be slightly scared of his chosen attack.
"Are you sure that you need to use your Sea-shaking Fist just to handle this brat? | think you're kind of overreacting," he continued.
"Steward Brent, don't take him lightly. Haven't you noticed? He has been acting conceitedly. Just look at him, he looks so calm.
Obviously he is ready to battle us. Perhaps he has learnt spowerful martial arts skills," he whispered as he glanced at Austin.
"We must make a move quickly and be extremely careful.
Even if he is much weaker than us, we can't lower our guard. Let's go all out and take him down as soon as we can," Lu sad to Brent seriously.
He somehow felt anxious as he noticed that Austin had remained composed since he showed up.
Brent suddenly bectense at his reminder.
"You're right, Lu," he responded.
As he waved his hands, a beam of golden light flashed. In a second, a huge golden seal rushed out from his body and floated over his head.
It seemed that the oppressive, overwhelming aura that the golden seal was giving off was going to cut Austin off from his surroundings.
There was a pattern on the golden seal: an emperor with a grave expression standing still, while hundreds of thousands of his ministers and civilians were kneeling and bowling before him with their heads touching the ground. It seemed like his subjects were giving him complimentary remarks.
