It was a starry night, and Sun Mountain looked more imposing, majestic, and solemn now than ever.
The awe-inspiring scenery at the beautiful evening impressed Austin as he lay quietly on the ground.
After a while, he glanced at the slopes of Sun Mountain not far away, where the outer disciples of Sun Sect lived.
With his eyes fixed on the mountainside, he noted several soaring and magnificent palace buildings, countless pavilions, terraces, and towers dotted with exotic flowers and rare herbs.
Under the glow of moonlight that just then was shrouded by light fog, these structures looked like palaces inhabited by gods.
The scenery stirred a myriad of emotions that engulfed his entire being. 'I was once the top disciple there, and everyone looked up to me back then.
One day, I will return to that position again!' he vowed to himself.
With a bitterness that surprised him, Austin thought, 'Those villains who set me up and attacked me will have to wait awhile to endure the burning flame of revenge.
And I promise all of them that day will come soon!'
As these thoughts crossed his mind, his pulse raced wildly.
Suddenly a noise caught his attention and interrupted his thoughts. Austin snapped back to his senses.
"Someone is out there," he muttered.
'Why was someone still outside in the middle of the night? Was it only a person who needed to relieve himself?' Austin wondered.
After several minutes, Austin discovered a man stealthily making his way towards the window of a dorm for grunt disciples and then crouching down to peek inside the dorm.
Searching his memory to pinpoint which dorm it was, he suddenly remembered that it was the facility that presently housed female grunt disciples.
His spiritual sense quickly floated inside the dorm and confirmed his earlier thoughts. Four girls were sleeping in their beds, all of them very young.
It was summer, and the weather was quite hot. Thin quilts, meant to cover the sleeping occupants, had been cast aside.
All four were wearing pajamas, which outlined their delicate figures.
The sight painted a seductive picture in Austin's mind, which made the man blush embarrassingly.
Silently, he thought the girls were totally exposed, and they didn't even tuck themselves properly under the quilts before sleeping.
After Austin assessed the situation in the dorm, he immediately controlled his spiritual sense to check on the Peeping Tom.
Under the detection of his spiritual sense, he saw the man uncomfortably crouching under the window, his face flushed, and gasping heavily in lust.
Several seconds later, Austin recognized the culprit.
He was one of the Sun Sect's grunt disciples. His name was Trent, a loyal follower of Matias, who was a young bully among the grunt disciples.
It was Matias who knocked Austin into a coma a few days ago, and Trent was one of his accomplices.
