Austin had no plans of taking Caroline with him.
She had just reached the preliminary stage of Semi-emperor Realm so she needed time to consolidate it.
Besides, she still had one more Green Evil Pill. She planned to cultivate in her room and try to make another breakthrough.
The Green Evil Pill was very helpful in the cultivation of the evil shadow race members. It didn't have any side effects so they could take it without any concerns.
Two hours later, Austin bid farewell to Caroline and went to the square.
Elder Brendan, Elder Damian and Steward Nolan were already there. Austin saw the three of them standing in the center.
There were three elders at the base: Elder Brendan, Elder Leder and Elder Damian. So far, Austin hadn't met Elder Leder yet. It was because this elder seldom appeared outside. He was usually dealing with sect matters at the base.
Elder Brendan and Elder Damian were the ones going out frequently.
A few moments later, all the disciples who were going on a mission to explore Purple Immortal's tomb gathered in the square. There were thirty of them.
Five of them were at the Divine Bridge Realm.
Twenty were at the Bitter Sea Realm.
And four were at the Emperor Realm.
Austin was the only one who was just at the Semi-emperor Realm.
His relatively low cultivation base made him controversial.
"Elder Brendan, this young man has just entered the Semi-emperor Realm. I don't think it's a good idea to have him go with us," complained one disciple clad in blue clothes.
"If he gets into trouble, we will be the one to rescue him for sure. He will only be a burden to us," he added.
This disciple was at the Divine Bridge Realm.
He was none other than Will, the man Austin had a confrontation with two months ago.
He gave Austin an indifferent glance. There was hostility in his eyes.
Austin met his gaze. He was trying to contain himself as he clenched his fist.
'This man really wants to give me a hard time. I know that he still wants to take Caroline away from me, ' thought Austin. His eyes became sharp and fierce.
"You don't have anything to worry. I believe he can handle things well," responded Elder Brendan.
He then turned to the other disciples.
"Everyone, move out!"
As Elder Damian waved his hand, a beast skeleton flew out from his sleeve. It grew bigger and runes on it lit up.
When the beast skeleton was ready, the two elders and the disciples jumped onto it. Then it soared into the air and in an instant was nowhere to be seen.
After a five-day journey, the skeleton was now above the Dawning Kingdom. Then a few moments later, it landed in the Gold City.
'Not long ago, the Four-sect Joint Tournament was held in the outskirts of this city. Now, I am here again, ' thought Austin inwardly.
He reminisced that moment he joined a tournament here.
And he was also wondering why Elder Brendan brought them here.
'Is the Purple Immortal's tomb located in the Gold City?'
Soon enough, Austin's question was answered.
Going to the Purple Immortal's tomb would be a long journey so they needed to employ the teleportation array of the Gold City. That was the reason why Elder Brendan brought them here.
After a while, Elder Brendan led all of them to a huge palace.
The teleportation array was in this building.
No wonder dozens of cultivators were standing at the entrance.
Apparently, they were guarding the palace very well.
When the cultivators saw Elder Damian and the other disciples coming, they were taken by surprise.
"Superior elder," they greeted in unison as they strode towards Elder Damian.
The Shiny Sect was in charge of the teleportation array, so the leaders sent their disciples to guard this place.
Since Elder Damian was a superior elder of the Shiny Sect, the guards knew him very well.
However, since Elder Brendan seldom showed up in the Shiny Sect, the guards didn't recognize him.
Elder Damian just nodded at them.
He then led Elder Brendan, Steward Nolan and all the disciples into the palace.
When they got inside, they saw the magic array at the center of the hall.
This array was set up by a preeminent array expert so it could be used for long-distance teleportation.
Other than the array, there were also two middle-aged men who were sitting on their feet. Their eyes were closed.
Austin had seen them before so he recognized them. They were senior members of the Shiny Sect.
When they felt the presence of other people around them, the two middle-aged men opened their eyes and stood up.
