When Steward Meng heard the question of the Chief Elder to Austin, he became shocked. He looked
at Austin's eyes with rage. It was a fiery look as if he wanted to kill Austin. He felt betrayed when he
was fooled by Austin who used an illusion to look like a disciple in the sect.
"I don't think it's possible, Chief Elder. With all due respect, I have known Walker since childhood and
we entered the Medicine Sect together. I know everything about him. His cultivation base is at the fifth
level of Energy Gathering Realm. It can't be at the Earth Realm.
A muscular disciple in a black robe stepped forward and said.
"What do you mean to say? Do you think I was wrong with my judgment?"
The disciple lowered his head as he feared the sight of the Chief Elder's intimidating look.
"I apologize if you think I meant it to be that way, Chief Elder. I just felt that Walker seems strange.
Since I grew up with him, I think I already know everything about him.
Even with closed eyes, I can surely distinguish if he stands in front of me.
And I know that the Walker we have to this day is not the same person I knew. He seems different. He
is a different person from head to toe. The way he speaks, the way he moves, the way he opens his
mouth. He is never the same person I have known for so long.
I was in confusion. I don't know why he turned out to be like that."
Austin slightly smiled. He never expected that there would be someone there who knew Walker very
well.
The illusion used by Violet could only copy the appearance of the person and nothing more. He could
never mimic the other person's behavior and manners. That was why it would be easy for people who
knew Walker well to notice the difference.
Austin realized that he must study the Magical Aura-changing Skill in a deeper sense. With his current
level, some might still notice the differences between the illusion and the original body.
The Chief Elder and Steward Meng were all masters with high level cultivation base and they had a
wide range of knowledge about the world. It was easy for them to find out that the Walker in front of
them was fake.
"I cannot believe that you would do this. You pretend to be one of the disciples of our sect just to follow
us into the Cloud cave and fish in troubled waters. Am I right?"
The Chief Elder said in a low angry voice. His eyes were fixed at Austin's as if he was waiting for his
next move.
"You murdered Walker! You needed to kill him to copy his physical appearance! You murdered one of
our disciples. Who do you think you are?
You're just an Earth Realm cultivator. How dare you to be that boastful? You must learn your lesson,
young man."
The Chief Elder and Steward Meng knew that Austin's cultivation base was at the vital energy Earth
Realm. They noticed it when Austin escaped the joint attack of the two diabolic beasts.
Austin gave a heavy sigh. He never expected that he would get caught as he was so careful in his
every move.
Austin knew he had to make a decision now. The Chief Elder and Steward Meng had gone through a
fierce battle and they looked like they were deeply injured.
Austin knew that no matter how injured the two leaders were, they were still Mysterious Realm
masters. He wasn't sure if he could handle the two masters on his own. Austin never fought a battle
that he was not sure of winning. He believed that someone must choose his battles in order to succeed
in life. But Austin decided not to pick this fight and just run away.
The moment he made up his mind, a flash of red light appeared. It was the Violet Royal Sword that
popped into his hand. When the Illusory Swordsmanship came into play, over thirty brilliant sword-lights
shot into the sky and hit all the people of the Medicine Sect like there was a hailstorm.
Austin had already mastered the level two sword intent. That was why the sword shadows and sword
auras followed and filled up the sky above the fork road. Tens of thousands of invisible but powerful
sword intents swam the dark skies. Everybody was stunned and did not have the chance to move.
That was the biggest act Austin already done in swordsmanship. The sky was dominated by long,
sharp sword auras. It was like a pool of shiny stars across the galaxy.
The twenty-odd Medicine Sect disciples suddenly felt that they were attacked by a large number of
invisible but powerful sword auras. They didn't have the chance to run and protect themselves.
They were shocked. As the metal cut their fleshes.
The whole place was filled by agony. Tragic screams were heard all over. Around eighty percent of the
Medicine Sect disciples were badly hurt by the sword auras. One of them was hit by a sword-light and
his right arm was cut off. All you could see was in red. Everything was in blood-bath.
The Chief Elder witnessed the miserable scene. All of a sudden, he raised his right hand and a strong
stream of vital energy force burst out from his body. It quickly suppressed the sword-lights, sword
auras, and sword intents in the air. With a blink of an eye, everything disappeared.
On the other hand, the act was just Austin's way to escape the scene. As soon as he launched the
strike, he pushed off the ground with his feet and enabled the Wind-commanding Skill. He was able to
run 20 meters in a stride. With a flash, he was already 40 meters away from the scene even before the
Chief Elder had noticed.
"Haha. I'm sorry but I learned how to choose my battles. I won't waste my time staying there," Austin
said as he continued his strides.
"He was at the premium stage of earth Realm."
The Chief Elder and Steward Meng stood there as if they were old trees. Their mouths were open as
they didn't expect that Austin would be so decisive. Austin acted so fast that they didn't have their
chance to react.
For the sake of escaping, he used all his strength for the strike. He also revealed his power as he was
at the premium stage of the Earth Realm. The Chief Elder and Steward Meng thought that Austin was
exceptional!
Immediately, the Chief Elder and Steward Meng noticed Austin's real level in cultivation base.
As soon as they noticed that Austin ran away, the Chief Elder and Steward Meng chased Austin. They
went to the direction going to the outside of the cave. They traveled as fast as they could that they were
like the shadows of two ghosts who just swept by.
"Steward Meng, that man stayed in the cave for a long time. He must have left with some treasures.
Don't let him get away!"
The Chief Elder shouted with an angry tone.
The Chief Elder and Steward Meng both consumed much of their vital energy and strength when they
fought over the Purple Flaming Lion King and the three-eyed scarlet bull. They already killed the two
diabolic beasts in exchange of a great energy loss.
As the Chief Elder and Steward Meng left injured, Elder Guan of the medicine Sect was killed by the
three-eyed scarlet bull. The Chief Elder's vital energy was greatly consumed in his final full attack on
the Purple Flaming Lion King. With the help of medicinal pills, he recovered his few energy and was
able to kill the Purple Flaming Lion King.
