Because the cultivators from the Ji Family had to handle Austin and the gnome, they couldn't focus on attacking Peacock Princess' personal maids. The girls were relieved to see that.
One of the girls, who was responsible for protecting Austin, stared at the young man and the gnome. She was dumbfounded to see the two vanished into thin air from time to time.
'If we hadn't set up the high-grade space-blocking array, we wouldn't have been able to capture this young man and the puppy-looking demonic beast.
Good thing we did that, ' she thought, somehow relieved at the seemingly blessing in disguise.
At that moment, a figure headed towards the girls and Austin at an amazing speed in mid-air.
Austin gazed up to find that it was Peacock Princess.
"Run!" she commanded her maids.
As she waved her hand, the strong wind blew their enemies away.
She had finally come to their rescue after inflicting numerous injuries to Marcus.
The girls leaped into the air and hurriedly followed Peacock Princess.
"Come with us. The people of the Ji Family will not spare you," one of the girls who had promised to defend Austin shouted, looking back at him.
Peacock Princess cast Austin a friendly glance, hinting that it was okay for him to flee with them.
So without hesitation, he and the gnome followed the girls while fighting their way out.
Peacock Princess was an incredible cultivator, and her colorful feather––which used to be Peacock King's secret weapon––was very powerful. The cultivators from the Ji Family couldn't stop her when she used it.
Moreover, she had reached the premium stage of Bitter Sea Realm, and with the colorful feather, she could even fight Divine Bridge Realm masters.
Minutes later, without turning back, they had completely fled from the area.
"Come on! Go get them.
Don't let that bitch get away,"
Marcus howled, basking in sheer rage.
He initially thought that he could defeat Peacock Princess and rise to fame.
But because she was raised and trained by a great master of the beast race––her father, she was able to reach the Bitter Sea Realm. Eventually, she became one of the top cultivators among the young generation of the East Mainland.
On top of that, Marcus' father had lost to her father, Peacock King, and gotten seriously hurt.
If Marcus could prevail over Peacock Princess, he was convinced that he would become more famous in the whole East Mainland.
However, things started to unexpectedly go downhill when he lost the fight and even sustained injuries. It was rather difficult for narrow-minded and self-conceited people like him to accept it.
At this point, his anger knew no bounds, and all he wanted to do was take down that princess.
Suddenly, an enormous amount of energy rushed out from his body. It turned into a cold breeze and blew violently.
Enveloped in the black light circle, he utilized his bodily movement skill to its full extent to keep up his pace with Peacock Princess.
A large number of cultivators from the Ji Family stopped hitting the other beasts, and instead they went after Peacock Princess too.
Albert had already perceived, through his spiritual sense, the result of the fight between Peacock Princess and Marcus.
And knowing that Marcus failed, Albert gradually grew furious and disappointed.
As Marcus' uncle, Albert had sided with the former chief of the Ji Family. He and the loyal followers of Marcus' father had enjoyed less respect and prestige among the members of the Ji Family ever since the Marcus' father became bedridden after sustaining severe injuries.
Over the years, they had been trying to encourage more strong young cultivators to join them and help get their honor back.
Marcus was their most important pawn.
If he were to become successful, he would receive special treatment in their family. That way, Albert and those who had supported Marcus along the way would also enjoy a great benefit and high status in the family.
However, that vision was immediately flushed down the drain as Marcus lost the battle.
"This damned bitch!" Albert snarled furiously.
The skeleton with black wings stretched its head back and roared.
Out of the blue, the black skeleton released a formidable chilly breeze that would undoubtedly make everyone quiver on the spot.
The wind blew towards the two old women from the beast race, forcing them to step back.
"You want to run away? Well, that's not gonna happen," Albert snorted with a stern look on his face.
