With his spiritual sense, Austin saw the situation inside the Zhang Clan's house. 'The Zhang Clan must have met strong enemies. When I knocked on the door, they must have thought that their enemies had returned, ' he wondered.
Instead of knocking again, he jumped up, and like a giant bird flew over the high wall. He landed elegantly in the Zhang Clan's front yard.
"Who are you? How dare you break in!"
"Call the clan head and Mindy. He must be an invader! Perhaps a member of the Ghost Sect?"
"Guys, let's fight him together!" As soon as Austin appeared in the front yard of the Zhang Clan, a group of guards rushed at him.
One of them ran towards the main hall to inform the head of the Zhang Clan and Mindy of the intruder.
'The house is quite heavily guarded!' Austin thought in surprise.
Armed with weapons, more than ten guards surrounded Austin with great speed. They attacked him without any hesitation, not waiting for him to identify himself.
These cultivators were all only at level 5 or 6 of the Energy Gathering Realm. None of them was able to hurt Austin. Mildly amused, he decided to toy with them while the guard fetched the head of the clan.
Resting his hands behind his back, Austin sometimes stepped to the left and sometimes stepped to the right. He looked so casual as if he were taking a walk or even dancing. None of the guards was able to land his weapon on Austin. He moved in a blur between them and they ended up falling over each other.
After a while, Austin got tired of the game and said with a friendly smile, "Guys, Mindy and I are friends. I bear you no ill will. Please tell Mindy that Austin is here to visit her."
The guards had done their best, yet they were unable to even cut Austin's clothes. They realized then that they couldn't hold a candle to this young man.
Upon hearing Austin's words, they looked at each other with some hesitation.
Mindy already enjoyed a large influence over the Zhang Clan. The clan members respected her even more than Zachary, the clan head. If this man was indeed her friend, then she would not take kindly to them harassing him.
"You are Mindy's friend?"
one of the guards asked curiously.
Before Austin could answer, he saw someone approaching from the main house.
"Austin, it's really you!"
A girl ran towards Austin cheerfully. She was none other than Mindy.
"Hi, Mindy. Wow, you are already at the premium stage of Earth Realm now. Seems like the dragon feminine constitution did you a great favor," Austin remarked in appreciation, as he assessed the power emanating from her.
Before Mindy had even reached Austin, he had already noticed that she was at the premium stage of Earth Realm. What was more, her cultivation base was at its peak. She might even make a breakthrough and reach the preliminary stage of the Mysterious Realm at any time. All that she needed was to seize the opportunity once it presented itself.
When Austin had last been in Valley Town, Mindy had been at the preliminary stage of Earth Realm. It hadn't even been a year, yet she was now at the premium stage of Earth Realm. Her cultivation speed was much better than that of most cultivators.
In the Sun Sect, Stewards and some Elders with relatively lower cultivation bases were at the premium stage of Earth Realm as well.
A year ago, Mindy had only been a lowly outer disciple of the Sun Sect.
