When the two great masters from the beast race had left, Austin planned to leave the place immediately.
Around him, many cultivators saw Roc King throw a Space Ring at Austin before he took his leave.
They surmised that that Roc King gave the ring to Austin as a gift.
It was tiny but they knew that it held many valuable items. Roc King was a well-known, great master in the East Mainland, so his gift was precious.
Any of Roc King's collections would be a priceless treasure to common cultivators.
The onlookers had been glaring at Austin and looking eagerly at his pocket before Austin left the place.
Austin also noticed the envy in their eyes.
He knew that if he didn't leave quickly, the greedy cultivators would block his way and steal his Space Ring, probably killing him also.
So, Austin avoided making eye contact with them and walked away as fast as he could.
About two hours later, he felt his spiritual sense tingling. He was alone which made it suspicious.
He looked over his shoulder and raised his eyebrows.
"I've got company," he murmured.
A couple kilometers behind him, a bunch of cultivators were quickly gaining on him.
As he watched, they drew closer at such a fast speed that it made him feel worried. He closed his eyes and focused.
In a matter of moments, his spiritual sense detected that his pursuers were at either the Emperor Realm or the Bitter Sea Realm.
Austin was glad that his spiritual sense was powerful enough to see them and determine their abilities. Now he had a fair chance at battling them.
'Shit! Looks like they have their eyes on my Space Ring.
Do I look that weak to them? I might be alone, but I am strong.'
A flame of anger shot up in him and his eyes narrowed.
Austin stopped walking and surveyed the area below him.
Most of the land was wooded but within the trees, there was a small, white-capped mountain. It would provide him with the perfect vantage point. Looking back one more time, he headed towards it.
He glided through the air and landed on the peak. Looking at his enemies, Austin suddenly burst into laughter.
"There's no need to hide. I'm right here. Come out and fight me if you dare," he said.
There were dozens of people trailing behind him—some of the invisible—and all of them were separate; however, they were all working towards the same goal.
He knew that they were skilled because they could disguise themselves. It only gave him more insight into how he could destroy each of them.
He also realized they must be the cultivators who had watched Roc King give him the Space Ring. They had come to steal it from him and hadn't expected Austin to have such a powerful spiritual sense.
He noticed some cultivators from the Ji Family among them. It was clear from the angry looks on their faces that they planned to kill him.
The senior reclusive elders had promised that the Ji Family wouldn't pose a threat to Austin. However, it appeared that didn't include taking his life secretly. They had sent their men secretly in the hope of finishing Austin.
Austin planted his feet firmly on the summit. The only thing that moved around him were his clothes fluttering in the wind. He was ready to fight.
Even though his pursuers had reached the Emperor Realm or even the Bitter Sea Realm, Austin wasn't scared of them.
The cultivators who were following after Austin exchanged puzzled looks.
'What's going on with this guy? Other Semi-emperor Realm cultivators would be scared if they were in his shoes. He shows no fear or panic. He even laughed at us.'
"Humph! You're only a brat at the Semi-emperor Realm. How could you have collided with the beast race? Shame on you. I and the rest of the people in the East Mainland will not spare your life, you traitor,"
said a cold voice in the distance.
Upon hearing this, Austin laughed again.
"That's ridiculous. Fuck you. You just want to steal my stuff.
What are you waiting for? I'm not going anywhere. You can give it a shot if you want my things," he snapped, holding his hands outward.
