"Get away, brat!" a cultivator at the premium stage of Minor-perfection Realm shouted at Austin.
Austin had arrived at the nest one step ahead of him. It was clear that he also possessed a lot of power and strength.
Even though Austin had gotten there first, the cultivator pushed him out of the way and reached for the silk cocoon.
"I'm not going anywhere! That cocoon is mine!"
Austin wrapped his hand around the back of the cultivator's neck and cast him away. He flew through the air so fast he looked like a blur.
His face turned red from both anger and embarrassment as he tried to activate his bodily movement skill; however, it was too late that he fell off the cliff.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Gazing around him, Austin saw that five more cultivators had reached the nest. He shrugged when he used his spiritual sense and realized that the most powerful among them had only reached the preliminary stage of Major-perfection Realm.
It only took a few seconds for him to cast them off the nest and off the cliff.
Uninterrupted, Austin faced the nest and summoned his golden vital energy into a large palm. He reached for the silk cocoon, smiling.
Before he could touch it, the cocoon sent dazzling lights into the air all around it. Austin's eyes grew bigger.
A surge of energy burst from it and his palm was slapped away.
"Awesome!"
Austin marveled, stepping closer to it.
It was too valuable to give up so easily. Letting out a yell, he extended his right hand towards the silk cocoon.
Focusing intensely, it began to lift inches off the ground.
After practicing the Immortal Body Refining Formula, Austin himself seemed to have become a powerful magic treasure. He didn't need any of his resources to capture the cocoon, which would make the task take less time.
The cocoon lifted higher and he could almost feel it in his hand. Suddenly, he saw purple light zoom past his eyes. Looking at it hard enough, he found out it was an arrow with mysterious runes on it. It let out a magical sound as it flew at Austin's right hand.
The runes lit up and energy seeped from it, heating up his skin.
As annoying as it was, he was forced to withdraw his right palm and hit the purple arrow. It changed directions and got stuck in the ground closest to him.
Turning slowly, Austin looked in the direction that the arrow had come from. He couldn't see anyone standing nearby through his narrowed eyes.
"You can leave now. This silk cocoon is ours.
If you don't go in the next ten seconds, I won't hesitate to kill you."
A man walked along the edge of the cliff. He had a large, purple bow slung on his back. His frame was tall and his eyes sparkled.
Even though he had just threatened to kill Austin, his face was calm. He stopped walking a few feet away and stared at Austin quietly.
"And the rest of you, get lost before I decide to kill all of you.
I'm Jerome Lu from the Heavenly Mysterious Sect of the Middle Pilgrim Land. I'm also a first-level student of the Blue Dragon School. So, I don't think I need to explain any more, right?" the man said in an indifferent tone.
He held his head high and spoke down to everyone else. They could all easily tell that he was powerful.
"Wow!
I heard that Jerome Lu is the grandson of a reclusive elder of the Heavenly Mysterious Sect!"
one of the cultivators exclaimed, looking at him with fear in their eyes.
It didn't take long for the other cultivators to stop moving and back away from the silk cocoon. Their powers were minimal in comparison to his and they knew they would all die if they faced him.
The Heavenly Mysterious Sect was well-known among the people in the Middle Pilgrim Land.
It was one of the three most oldest and mysterious sects in the Middle Pilgrim Land.
The only things that were more powerful than it were the four martial arts schools in the Middle Pilgrim Land.
Without a doubt, it was one of the most powerful sects in the Divine Continent, and no one wanted to battle against any of its members.
If anyone offended this sect, they wouldn't even have time to bat an eye before they died.
"So what? I don't care if you're from the Heavenly Mysterious Sect. I saw it first, so it's mine. If you wanted it, you should have come earlier. I will not give it to you,"
Austin retorted and turned back to the cocoon.
