The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 1540

The disciples of the Flame Holy Land couldn't make head or tail of this situation. There was no reason they could think of which would explain why Stacy was suddenly siding with them.

"Austin! What the hell's going on?" Rahul asked secretly through his spiritual sense.

But it seemed like he would have to wait for the answer indefinitely. "It's a long story. All you need to know is that the people of the Deep Sea Commercial House and the Blood-thirsty Gang aren't going to be our enemies,"

Austin replied without going into any details.

Rahul noticed his tone and realized that Austin didn't want to tell him the whole story. He had to let it go.

"I need you guys to come with me." Stacy pointed at some members of the Deep Sea Commercial House.

She then continued issuing the order, "The rest of you, please continue picking up the herbs."

Following her sentence, twenty-five Emperor Realm masters walked up and stood by Stacy's side.

"Right then. Let's get going now,"

Stacy remarked to Austin.

"Rahul, I have something I need to take care of with Miss Ren. You take care,"

Austin told Rahul through his spiritual sense as he began to walk away.

With him, Stacy and twenty-five masters of the Emperor Realm also took their leave and within a very few moments, they were out of sight.

"Rahul, why do you think Austin agreed to go with Miss Ren? Did she threaten him somehow? Could it be possible that she threatened to hurt us if he didn't follow her orders?"

Zoe asked in a concerned tone through her spiritual sense.

Austin had impressed her a lot when he had saved her from three disciples of the Blood Moon Sect disciples the other day. They had all been at the Semi-emperor realm, yet Austin had made short work of the fight.

Since then, she had been paying a rather large amount of attention to Austin. In fact, she hadn't taken her eyes off of him ever since he had made his appearance. She had planned on greeting him specifically, but hadn't gotten the chance.

Given her admiration for the man, it was natural of her to be concerned on seeing him taken away by Stacy.

"I don't think so. In fact, I think Miss Ren bears no ill will towards Austin. What's more, Austin didn't look like the sort of person who was being intimidated into doing something. We shouldn't worry; I believe that Austin had his reasons for agreeing to go with her.

For now, we have our task; it is to collect more herbs," Rahul replied.

And with that, he turned his attention towards the herbs, so did the other disciples of the Flame Holy Land.

As for the members of the Deep Sea Commercial House and the Blood-thirsty Gang, they didn't have the nerve to even touch the people of the Flame Holy Land after Stacy had given the order. Now, they would even give the latter a hand when required.

On the other hand, Austin, Stacy, and the rest of her crew headed towards the depths of the Wild Herb Valley.

Though they passed several wild and civilized characters on the way, no one dared to mess with them. Of the entire company, only Austin was not at the Emperor Realm, so everyone was naturally intimidated.

Three days passed before they finally reached their destination.

"Alright everyone! We are close now! I want you all to keep your eyes open; and do try to avoid running into the disciples of the three holy lands.

I would prefer it that we weren't spotted by anyone before we reach the Secret Valley. It is in our favor only.

Do you understand?"

Stacy emphasized each and every word of her sentence as they began to enter the depths of the Wild Herb Valley. From her manners also, it was clear that she wanted as much secrecy as possible.

The twenty five Emperor Realm cultivators nodded obediently.

From then on, Austin, Stacy and her subordinates moved with the utmost care. They released their spiritual senses to scan their surroundings whenever they moved. If anyone of them felt like there was any sign of the three holy land disciples nearby or in their path, they all either hid or took a detour.

Luckily, Stacy and her crew were at the Emperor Realm. This meant they had very powerful spiritual senses and could move really fast. Therefore, they moved rapidly towards their destination without being spotted.

Stacy would often bring out and look at an old piece of cloth; it had a map on it of some sorts. She would then put it back in her Space Ring.
