It was a peaceful day, but Marvin Su's face sank with anger. Five outer disciples were found dead hours after they had been sent to look out for Austin.
All of the outer disciples were sent out in groups of at least four members. Each of them carried signal devices. Once they found out Austin's whereabouts, the first thing they had to do was to send a signal using the device.
Although Austin was powerful, he probably couldn't kill the whole group in one hit.
However, even if that was the case, the outer disciples were still killed one after another.
There were about sixteen outer disciples together with Billy.
The other outer disciples feared to end up with the same fate when they found out about the death of the five outer disciples.
They previously thought that since there were more than ten of them, they would certainly kill Austin.
However, five of them were already dead before they could even find Austin's whereabouts.
If they went on like this, they would probably dwindle in number soon.
Thus, other disciples started to leave secretly in fear of the current situation.
They thought that if they followed the top disciples like Billy and Marvin, they could lead a comfortable life as outer disciples.
Right now, however, it might cost them their lives, and no one wanted that. There would be no comfortable life to enjoy if they were dead.
A while later, about seven to eight disciples had secretly left.
Marvin's eyebrows knitted together tightly in anger as he walked between the leafy branches. "Shit! Damned Billy Tang! All the people together with you are cowards!" he cursed.
Rage consumed him as he hit a tree trunk beside him with one fist, and then the trunk immediately broke into pieces.
Billy couldn't do anything when he saw Marvin got furious. He was angry as well. He thought that he had a good chance to kill Austin in this search since Austin was out of the sect.
However, things didn't turn out like that. As soon as the disciples who secretly left spread the news, Billy would be a laughing stock among the outer disciples.
"Four or five people have died, and seven or eight have left. Billy, you're actually alone now," Marvin said dryly.
Footsteps sounded through the path as another disciple came over.
He paused to regain his breath at first, then delivered the news.
"The dead ones are six now. Those who left are seven," he said.
Marvin and Billy remained silent.
This outer disciple was one of the five who came together with Marvin.
His name was Cecil, and he ranked higher than Billy in the outer disciple list. He was at the thirteenth.
"Humph! I've already said that these people were unreliable twats," Cecil said coldly.
Meanwhile, Billy stood in thought.
"Austin definitely killed them," he said through gritted teeth.
Marvin and Cecil looked at him, and he took this as sign to continue.
"He was at the sixth level of the Energy Gathering Realm when I first met him. A few days later when I fought against him, he was already at the seventh.
He seems to be more powerful today as he has killed so many outer disciples without being noticed by others.
It looks like his cultivation base grows fast. Such a strong opponent will soon be our nightmare if we don't kill him early," he said worriedly.
Shock was written all over Marvin's face at Billy's words.
When he had met Austin in the Beast Mountain a month ago, Austin was only at the fifth level of the Energy Gathering Realm.
Now, he was at level seven!
Austin had broken through twice in one month--it was quite a frightening speed for a cultivator.
Was he really a genius?
"We must kill him this time!" Marvin spat.
A cruel glint flickered in his eyes as if he was a beast about to devour its prey.
