Above a valley covered by dense jungle in the Sunset Mountain, a strange Corrosive Cloud appeared out of nowhere and took Austin, along with his three companions away. About half an hour later, hundreds of people flew past the place where the Corrosive Clouds had appeared.
The three leaders of the group were cursing in frustration and regret.
"Damn it! Do you remember the shadow? Its appearance on the Crystal Mine Mountain must represent the emergence of the treasures of the ancient master!
An wrong step has caused us lifelong regret. We missed a great opportunity and that kid took what should have been ours.
What a shame!"
"Yes, we are a step too late.
In my opinion, the shadow is the spiritual sense left by the ancient master.
Alas! It's too late to repent or brood over spilled milk!"
"I think that kid named Austin must have taken the treasures.
We have all seen that kid before. So we may still have a chance.
We can work together and track his whereabouts. So we can take the treasures back.
He is a tough nut to crack, especially with his tremendous physical strength and his use of so many strong diabolic beasts and corpse demons.
So the only way to defeat him is by working together, not by an individual forceful attack. We could hold a party and bring him to defeat him with a surprise attack.
It is still possible for us to take the ancient master's treasures back."
"Yeah, that makes sense. Okay, I agree. Let's do it!"
The three people plotting were the Sect Leaders of the Flying Fish Sect, the Iron Palm Sect and the Evergreen Sect.
When the four Master Realm cultivators arrived at the Crystal Mine Mountain, the three Sect Leaders fled away with their subordinates and stayed in the Sunset Mountain for a day. Once the coast was clear, they started off with their people and horses to leave the mountain.
Shortly after, they arrived at the place where Austin and the girls had disappeared.
Suddenly, something strange happened.
A mass of Corrosive Cloud floated towards them from the dense forest in the valley.
The cloud was extremely wide, with a diameter of hundreds of miles. Without even realizing what had happened, the hundreds of people from the three sects were enveloped in the dark cloud.
One after the other, they gradually lost their sight and their spiritual sense couldn't perceive anything neither. It was as if something trapped them in a pitch-black world.
What was worse, they couldn't activate their vital energy, so they could not fly forward, which in essence meant they were stuck in the cloud and couldn't move a step.
"What the hell is this?!"
"Damn it! I can't move! Somebody, please help me!". .
Everyone was in a state of panic, behaving erratically and screaming in fear. The leaders, who were the strongest among them, were no exception.
Shortly after, the Corrosive Clouds disappeared without a trace. The sky became crystal clear again as if nothing had ever happened.
A few seconds later…
A flash of blade suddenly appeared sight from the distance.
The flash of the blade was so strong that it split the space into two and the air rolled away to both sides.
Whoosh!
A strapping man stopped at the same place. Around his body, the blade intent spread all over the place and the flash of the blade shot up shining in the sky. It was none other than Malick, a Master Realm cultivator of the Sky Sect.
"It seems that two groups of people stayed in this place and the first group had traces of the boy that I'm tracking.
So it seems I am following the right direction.
Hmph! I have stored his scent firmly in mind. Even if he flees to the end of the earth, I'll slowly find him!"
Malick murmured while staring in the distance. His eyes were as sharp as the blade.
"But... this is very strange! I can't find his scent anymore. It seems as if it suddenly disappeared right here.
How come? What could be the matter?"
Malick frowned. A look of bemusement spread across his face.
After Austin escaped right in front of him the last time, he then made up his mind to catch him right in the act. So he had diligently searched for Austin and traced his whereabouts to a place nearby. He could still clearly remember Austin's scent, which still lingered in that place.
However, at just the moment when Malick was pondering, the same thing happened again.
The weird cloud appeared again.
It moved so quickly that Malick didn't even have the time to react and was trapped in it.
"Damn! What the heck is that?"
Malick clenched his fist in shock and outrage. He was also frightened.
He found himself unable to perceive his surroundings with his spiritual sense.
He could see nothing but endless darkness, neither could he activate his vital energy properly. He could only use only twenty or thirty percent of his powers.
"Huh, don't dream of trapping me with such evil little trick.
Take this!"
Malick had been practicing using the blade and had achieved great success in using the skill.
Resentful and exasperated, he burst out all his blade intent abruptly.
The light reflected by the blade was dazzling and bright. A blade aura as wide as a door plank shot out at the cloud.
Whoosh!
Malick's attack left a deep crack on the thick cloud and a thread of light emerged from it.
"Hah-hah! Look! Nothing can withstand my blade!"
The key to using a blade was to forge ahead aggressively without looking back and destroy every obstacle without hesitation.
