After a few moments, the Holy Sons of the Black Inferno Sect and the Unworldly Sect, the Holy Daughter of the Moon Palace, and Ezra––a brilliant disciple of the Blue Dragon School––had arrived as well.
Those four highly capable cultivators stood beside each side of the stone table, each emitting a terrifying aura.
They were the well-known and excellent ones amongst the younger generation of cultivators in the Middle Pilgrim Land.
"Aha, I have an idea! Look, there are dozens of jars of the divine wine on the stone table. That's enough for all of us to split and drink.
So, how about we share them fair and square to avoid any conflict?
The Immortal Burial City is full of treasures, and we have a very high chance of finding more precious things. I don't think the wine is the best one here; there must be something more valuable.
Let's not waste too much time fighting over the wine here."
Dim moonlight shrouded the figure of the Holy Daughter of the Moon Palace. Her voice sounded sweet, yet melodious as a silver bell.
"I agree."
After a moment of silence, the Holy Son of the Unworldly Sect took his time to nod in agreement.
Then the Holy Son of the Black Inferno Sect and Ezra from the Blue Dragon School followed suit, also consenting on the proposal.
Dozens of jars of the divine wine were placed on the stone table, certainly more than enough for four persons to share. So there was no need for them to battle over and run the risk of dying for the wine.
"Okay, so let's split the wine into four portions, and each of us will get an equal share of it," said the Holy Son of the Black Inferno Sect.
He then waved his hand to give off gentle vital energy towards the wine jars in an attempt to get his share. The other three persons swung their hands too, ready to fetch their part of the shares.
Suddenly, as they picked up their own liquids, a noise resounded.
Four water curtains, which were as dark as night, appeared out of nowhere and swiftly whirled towards each cultivator.
At the same time, a shadow materialized right above the stone table. With a swing of his sleeve, that person rolled up all the wine jars.
Of course, the only person who would pull up such stint was Austin.
Taking advantage of the moment––when all the four cultivators let down their guards as they were overjoyed with the divine wine––Austin took out the Sky-devouring Gourd Cask and suddenly splashed the seawater from the Immortal Burial Sea. At the same time, when all these were happening, he used his self-innovated bodily movement skill to conceal his body. He then jumped to the stone table and took possession of all the wine.
The four cultivators, realizing this, howled in anger.
They were infuriated by Austin's guts, not admitting to the fact that they really got distracted for a moment.
They were the martial art geniuses of the Middle Pilgrim Land famous for their brilliant skills. None of them expected that someone would be bold enough to go against them and steal the things they desired right under their noses!
There was no denying that they were all powerful and had unique skills. Even advanced warriors at the level of the Heavenly Grotto Realm would shudder in front of the seawater of the Immortal Burial Sea, but all of them successfully escaped from it unharmed.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Terrifying explosions blared in succession.
Meanwhile, four dreadful forces darted at Austin and attacked him simultaneously.
"Wow! What mighty forces!"
Austin was utterly shocked, not knowing if he could defeat his opponents.
So, without any hesitation, he took out the Pot of Chaos and hid inside it immediately before urging it to flee out of the palace.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several deafening sounds of clanking metals echoed in the palace, causing the building to quiver violently as if it was going to collapse.
However, the Pot of Chaos was still intact and continued to fly directly out of the palace.
The four warriors dashed out of the palace and combed every inch of the area with their powerful spiritual sense, in search of Austin.
They searched every corner for quite a while, not wanting to give up as they were still enraged.
But, to their dismay, not a sign of Austin was detected.
With his Aura Disguising Skill, Austin was not only able to change his appearance, but he could also hide his tracks to get rid of any chasers.
As Austin's exodus took a toll on them, all four cultivators looked sullen and furious.
They had every reason to be angry and humiliated as they witnessed how dozens of the divine wine jars were taken right under their noses without even spotting the thief's face.
It was such a massive humiliation and hit on their ego! Their faces burned with fury, and hearts jammed with wrath as they recalled it.
"What an excellent skill. I'm sure I sensed a trace of aura of the tracking rune from the Unworldly Sect on that person," hummed the Holy Son of the Unworldly Sect.
He gripped the golden halberd harder with clenched teeth.
"Oh? Is that person connected to your sect? Perhaps an enemy you're searching for?"
Ezra from the Blue Dragon School felt confused at the words of the Holy Son of the Unworldly Sect. He could not help but speak out the doubt in his heart.
The tracking rune was a secret weapon of the Unworldly Sect, which could be used to track their enemies secretly.
"Yes. A principal disciple of our sect discovered the divine silkworm not long ago, but it was soon robbed by a man.
Fortunately, the principal disciple had successfully planted a tracking rune on that thief secretly.
