Maria walked up to Austin and said with a hint of jealousy, "Austin, you're so amazing! How did you make a breakthrough in such a short time?"
When she first met Austin in the residence of the emperor's tenth son, both of them were at the premium stage of Earth Realm.
But now Austin had the cultivation base of the Sky Realm. She realized that she would never be a match for him in the vital energy cultivation no matter how hard she cultivated.
"This is the third time that you have come to rescue Anna and me," Iris followed with gratitude.
With a blush on her face, Anna stared at Austin with admiration evident in her eyes. She looked like a maid in love staring at her hero for the first time.
Austin cleared his throat and with a speechless expression, he said, "Come on, guys! Don't look at me that way. This is awkward."
When he was attacked by the five cultivators of the Sky Realm, other warriors kept a distance from him, just watching them fight.
But Dewey, Maria, Iris and Anna had stood behind him in support, which touched him.
"Oh, by the way, what's going on here? Why did all these people gather in this valley?" Austin continued.
Since he had been with the Flame Emperor, he was ignorant of the event that nine cultivators of Sky Realm from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom had broken into the Mysterious Realm and targeted warriors of the Violet Orchid Empire and massacred them.
The four filled him in on the actions of the nine masters at the Sky Realm from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom.
After hearing their story, Austin understood why the warriors had gathered together in the valley.
'It turns out that they had intended to work together to deal with the nine skillful martial artists of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom, ' he thought.
"What are we going to do, Austin? Should we stay in this valley?"
Maria inquired.
"I see. Nine cultivators of Sky Realm. They are strong, so the battle is going to be tough.
But don't worry.
There is no need to waste time here. Let's get out of here," Austin replied after thinking for a while.
The truth was the nine masters at the Sky Realm were tough opponents to cope with.
But Austin wasn't afraid of them. After all, he was at the medium stage of the Sky Realm.
Besides, he owned a tenth-level ancient evil ape. He thought he stood a chance to defeat the nine cultivators of Sky Realm from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom.
If the nine cultivators of Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom made a move on him, Austin would fight with them instead of running away.
Although there were fifty-five warriors of Violet Orchid Empire, most of them were at the Earth Realm and some had reached the Mysterious Realm.
In a battle with nine masters of the Sky Realm, they would only end up losing their lives. Sometimes the party with more people would lose the game when their opponents were much more powerful than they were.
There were only two masters of the Sky Realm in this valley—Bruce and Graham who could have helped him. But they were already on opposing sides with Austin.
Taking all the factors into consideration, Austin concluded that it was an unwise idea to stay in the valley.
That was why he had decided to leave the valley and walk around.
Judging by his tone, Dewey and the three girls could tell that Austin didn't take the nine warriors of Sky Realm from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom seriously. They were taken aback by his response.
But since the four already thought of him as their leader, they agreed with Austin.
The four all believed that the best way for them to keep alive was to stay close to Austin.
As no one proposed a different opinion, Austin made a decision to guide the four out of the valley.
"Where are you going, Austin? Are you not going to stay here?"
A loud voice rang out, and then a pretty maid walked up to the five. It was Denali.
Austin paused in a trance since Denali had made a good impression on him.
"I don't know. We're just going to walk around," Austin replied.
"I heard that the nine cultivators of Sky Realm from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom who slaughtered our warriors of the Violet Orchid Empire intend to kill us all are still around. If you leave here, you might run into them. And you'll definitely be in grave danger.
How about you stay with us?"
Denali suggested.
"Ha ha, I don't fear the cultivators of the Sky Realm from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom. If they dare to provoke me, I will slaughter them," Austin said scornfully with a sneer.
Denali was stunned at his remark. She stared at the lad who used to be a grunt disciple of Sun Sect just as she was. When she saw the confident smile on his face, she was attracted to him immediately. But the next second, she came back to her senses.
"To be honest, you surprised me. I didn't expect that you would reach this realm so soon.
