Graham suppressed Dewey and the three girls with his Sky Realm vital energy, and now the four of
them couldn't move at all.
"If you're smart, tell me where Austin is and give me all the things that you got from the hall. Otherwise,
today I will teach you a lesson you will never forget.
Come on! I'm not that patient!"
Graham urged, pacing impatiently.
"If you want to know where Tin is, just find him by yourself!
Besides, we got those things from the hall by chance. That means we are lucky. Why should we give
them to you? Are you going to rob us in broad daylight?
Even if you work for the imperial family, you are going too far!"
At such a critical moment, Dewey surprisingly showed strength of character and backbone and refused
to yield to Graham.
Maria, Iris and Anna all looked dissatisfied with Graham's demands.
"You're all so stubborn!
I'll tell you why you should give everything to me.
Austin injured the imperial cultivators and robbed the treasures that belonged to the imperial family.
That is a blatant provocation of the imperial family and a public challenge; he therefore, committed a
capital offense.
Since you're his companions, you should be regarded as accomplices and an accessory to his crimes.
Hmph! Anyone who dares to challenge the authority of the imperial family commits a capital offense
and must be sentenced to death!
I'll teach you a good lesson that you will never forget and dare not offend us again!"
Graham said with an absolutely arrogant and condescending attitude. He summoned his vital energy
force and formed it into a wall before violently pushing it towards Dewey and his friends.
Graham didn't use any special skills when he released the vital energy force wall, because He didn't
think it was necessary to use any special skills to deal with the four, and he was confident that his vital
energy was enough to suppress them to death.
The vital energy of the Sky Realm cultivators was indeed astonishing and powerful!
The moment the vital energy force wall was released, a whirl wind swirled carrying everything in its
wake including sand and gravel, dead leaves and branches and threw into the air, like there was a level
ten typhoon! All the sand, stones, dead twigs and withered leaves hit Dewey and the girls.
Standing at the center of the storm, the four felt their bodies being held down by a powerful force. They
could neither move nor summon their vital energy.
They knew in their minds that if they were hit by the vital energy force wall, they would be seriously
injured even though they could survive. However, since they were unable to move at all, they could do
nothing. They were trapped like meat on the chopping board waiting to be sliced.
While wallowing in despair, they heard a strong wind making sounds in the air as if splitting wood.
Suddenly a figure appeared to be rushing towards them; it emitted a strand of golden vital energy force
that split through the air and flung at the vital energy force wall at an incredible speed.
"Boom!"
The vital energy force wall was crushed and in an instant disappeared into air. No one had expected
that the vital energy force attack initiated by a Sky Realm cultivator could be blocked so easily!
After the violent attack, the wind dissipated and in the aftermath, the crowd found a young man
standing in front of Dewey and his three friends.
"Tin, it's you!
I'm so glad you're here! If you had come a little late, you might have only found our corpses!"
Dewey immediately recognized that the young man who saved their lives was Austin. He cried out in
surprise.
Maria, Iris and Anna heaved a sigh of relief. They even had a feeling that whenever Austin showed up,
any trouble could be solved.
"Austin?"
Graham was stunned and his mouth agape in shock when he realized that his vital energy force wall
had been crushed. When he recognized Austin as the culprit, he became furious and violent almost
throwing a tantrum. However, he stopped in his tracks and was a little glad, because with Austin's
appearance, it meant that he had a chance to steal the treasures Austin had obtained from the
Emperor Library.
"Austin, you stole the treasures of the imperial family. You think you can get away with it, but no matter
where you go we'll catch you!
Kneel down and kowtow to me. You must admit your mistakes! Then turn in those treasures!" He
shouted.
Although Austin had easily fended off the vital energy force wall that Graham had released, Graham
didn't take him seriously. This was because he had only used forty percent of his power. Besides, when
he met Austin at the Emperor's Library, Austin had just been a cultivator at the medium stage of
Mysterious Realm.
Graham was confident that Austin was weak and therefore had very little room for resistance.
Hearing that, Austin's face darkened in anger. He snorted, "Are you joking? All the treasures in the
Mysterious Nether World have no owners. I don't understand why you say they belong to the imperial
family.
According to your argument, everyone should give everything they got from the Mysterious Nether
World to you, right?
Is that the ridiculous logic of the imperial family?
I'm sure everyone present will not agree to your ridiculous logic," Austin said slowly.
At that time, all the young cultivators of the Violet Orchid Empire gathered around to watch the
spectacle.
"Hmph! Don't try to be cunning to defend yourself! The imperial family initially owned the treasures,
before you stole them away in a sneak attack!
Shut up! My patience has run out. Today I must take your life. Go to hell!"
Bruce, who had been silent the whole time, stepped forward with a sneer, and initiated an attack
targeting Austin to support Graham. Then an overwhelming vital energy force erupted and rushed
towards Austin.
Seeing that they were making a move, the other imperial cultivators rushed over and surrounded
Austin.
Due to the commotion, everybody's attention had shifted from Dewey and the girls to Austin.
Austin sneered when he saw the people from the imperial family behaving so shamelessly. They
seemed to have made up their minds to rob him of the treasures he possessed.
Although his opponents were two Sky Realm cultivators and more than twenty Mysterious Realm
cultivators, Austin wasn't worried, as he had reached the medium stage of Sky Realm. Austin knew that
Graham and Bruce were at the preliminary stage of Sky Realm.
It was natural that Austin had had a hard time and almost lost his life when fighting the five cultivators
at the preliminary stage of Sky Realm since he possessed a cultivation base of medium stage of
Mysterious Realm when he was at the Emperor Library. However, this time, things were different. Their
positions of strength and weakness had reversed, and now the advantage was on his side.
Furthermore, Austin had taken the ancient evil ape with him. The ancient evil ape was a level ten
diabolical beast, and now, it was in the beast-subduing bag which the Flame Emperor had given to
Austin. It was very convenient to hold diabolic beasts and demonic beasts in the bag.
Even the ancient evil ape alone had the ability to smash the imperial cultivators into meat pies with a
punch. So Austin laughed mockingly when he saw Bruce and Graham quick to start their attack.
"You're about to die! How can you still have the strength to laugh?"
Graham was short-tempered. He couldn't wait anymore when he saw that Austin was not afraid, but
had the gall to laugh in such a situation. He waved his right hand, and a bright golden spear appeared
in his palm.
"Go to hell!"
Graham shouted and rushed towards Austin with a momentum of vital energy force, with his spear
aimed like a beam of golden light towards Austin. Where it passed, deep furrows appeared in the
ground, like a furious python winding its way forward.
As Graham had been in a rage before releasing his vital energy force, his thrust contained a level ten
spear intent!
Obviously, Graham had put a lot of efforts on his martial arts cultivation, and now he had
comprehended a level ten spear intent. It was an incredible achievement among the young cultivators
of the Violet Orchid Empire.
Seeing that Austin wasn't affected by the Sky Realm vital energy force they had released, Graham and
Bruce realized that he might have something special about him.
Before, when Austin showed up and blocked the vital energy force wall, he had only used about twenty
percent of his vital energy force, so nobody figured out that he had reached the medium stage of Sky
Realm.
From looking at the vital energy force stream, Bruce and Graham thought that Austin was only at the
medium stage of Mysterious Realm.
The golden spear-lights were fast approaching. However, Austin didn't dodge but stared at them calmly,
not even blinking his eyes.
"You have no chance of survival!"
Graham shouted with a vicious grin. He suddenly shook his arm, and the spear hit toward Austin's
head like a golden dragon, emanating a powerful energy.
"Tin, be careful!"
"Tin, watch out!"
"Austin, get out of there!" "Ah!" Dewey and the three girls shouted in fear.
Iris and Anna were afraid that they would see Austin's head smashed in the next second, so they
covered their eyes.
"Phew! Phew!"
With two faint sounds, two swords with flame clusters appeared in Austin's palms.
They were all about three feet long and each of them was emanating with a strong vital energy force.
These were two vital energy swords.
