Chapter 258 Enemies
When Austin finally learned how to control the Eagle Wings, he made his first attempt to fly in the sky with excitement.
Fifteen minutes later, he discovered one of the Eagle Wings' features—his velocity and altitude depended on how much vital
energy he used. The Eagle Wings took up so much vital energy.
He had already used one third of his vital energy even though he had only been in the air for about half an hour.
A bitter smile cracked his lips when he felt his vital energy was being drained at an alarming speed.
Although it was a rare Secret Weapon, Austin decided to only use it when necessary. After all, it was a vital energy leech.
'I guess even Steward Meng, a strong cultivator at the Mysterious Realm, was unable to fly long hours using these Eagle Wings,
' he thought.
He had originally thought he could fly back to Peace Town using the Eagle Wings to avoid the long and tiresome journey.
But on second thought, he'd rather run to Peace Town than use so much vital energy.
He landed on the ground and placed the Eagle Wings back.
Then he and Violet went back to Peace Town. There were still four days left until the appointed time with the shopkeeper of the
elixir store. . . . . .
At Peace Town.
In the garden of a large house, a middle-aged man was sitting on a stone chair, looking cruel and coldhearted. He was none
other than Johnson Su, the steward of Sun Sect, and Marvin's uncle.
Standing before him were several inner disciples of the Sun Sect. All of them emitted a strong aura, and were surrounded by
intense vital energy. Most inner disciples of the Sun Sect were at the Energy Gathering Realm. In order to become an inner
disciple, you must be able to reach level 7 of the Energy Gathering Realm before you even turned 15 years old.
Most inner disciples were above level 8 of Energy Gathering Realm, while only a handful of elite outer disciples were capable of
reaching this level. Most outer disciples were between level 4 and level 7 of Energy Gathering Realm.
Marvin and Billy were both at level 8 of Energy Gathering Realm. There were about 5, 000 outer disciples, and only about 30 of
them had reached this level.
"Steward Su, we've looked everywhere in Peace Town for the past few days, but there was no sign of Austin anywhere," said a
disciple in white coat. He was a handsome man, but a little arrogant.
He had reached level 9 of Energy Gathering Realm; he might even make a breakthrough and reach the Earth Realm any time.
"Son of a bitch! How dare he kill my nephew! He is definitely dead meat. I am going to find him. There is no place in the world
that will save him from my wrath.
Marvin, you poor boy! I swear I'll avenge you. I'll cut Austin to pieces.
Roman, you must find him for me. Peace Town is just a small town. We must find that brat at all cost!"
Johnson Su demanded through gritted teeth. The more he thought about his poor nephew, the angrier he got. He banged his
palm on the stone table. Cracks suddenly appeared, and soon spread over the whole table. With a loud thud, the table
disintegrated, and the debris scattered everywhere.
He had been wallowing in his grief all these days because of Marvin's death. How he wished he could eat Austin's flesh and
drink his blood!
He had called all his trusted disciples over and asked them to search for Austin. He swore to himself he would kill him to avenge
Marvin.
But to his disappointment, Austin was nowhere to be found. They had been searching for him for several days already, but to no
avail.
"Steward Su, please don't worry. I treated Marvin like my own brother. I couldn't even believe my ears when I heard he had been
killed. I will hunt Austin and avenge Marvin on my own accord, even if you didn't say so," Roman Tong said earnestly. He was an
inner disciple of the Sun Sect, and was one of Johnson Su's trusted disciples.
After saying that, Roman Tong left the garden along with the other disciples and continued to look for Austin. . . .
At the same time, there was an old man in black in a large hall. He was as thin as a skeleton.
"A guy named Austin killed him?"
he thundered. His eyes became slits much like a venomous snake. If you ever saw him, you would definitely be wary and want to
stay away from him as far as possible, because you could feel his murderous intent emanating from his entire body.
His voice was so fierce that anyone could tell he was boiling over with rage.
There was a rotting body on the floor before him. Beneath the body was a blood red cloak etched with a gigantic wolf growling at
the sky.
If Austin were there, he would have recognized the body—he was the leader who had taken several members of the Blood Wolf
Team to hunt down Austin, but had been killed by Austin instead in the valley where the Mysterious Ancient Well was located.
"Yes, boss. I think so," a bulky man answered carefully.
The old man was the head of the Blood Wolf Team, the most notorious gang in Violet Orchid Empire.
The old man's face turned sour at the man's reply. His eyes were piercing as he paced up and down in the hall. In a chilly tone,
he said, "According to our previous research, Austin was only at the Energy Gathering Realm. He couldn't have killed Patrick on
his own. He must have had help from someone. Go and check who had the guts to kill the members of the Blood Wolf Team."
"Boss, according to our information, Austin was with a girl, an outer disciple of the Sun Sect too.
There was no third person."
"What?! How could two outer disciples of the Sun Sect kill Patrick? Although Patrick was the weakest among the thirteen Wolf
Generals, he had still reached the Earth Realm.
Besides, Patrick had brought with him more than ten members at level 8 of Energy Gathering Realm.
I guess the two outer disciples were only at the Energy Gathering Realm. But how were they able to kill our men on their own?"
Disbelief was written all over the old man's face.
"Boss, our people had confirmed that there were only two people in the valley, Austin and the girl," the man answered, his voice
trembling.
"Seems like Austin has some secrets up his sleeve.
In this world, there are indeed some talented cultivators who can kill people above their levels.
Nevertheless, I don't care how talented he is. Whoever dares to offend the Blood Wolf Team is dead meat. Austin, I'm sorry but
you have to die!"
He paused for a while, and then demanded, "Tell Wolf General No. 9, No. 10, No. 11 and No. 12 to hunt down Austin and that
girl of the Sun Sect.
Wolf Generals were the best warriors of the Blood Wolf Team. They are the backbones of the Blood Wolf Team. Messing with
any one of the Wolf Generals would mean a slap in our face. If we don't hunt down those two runts, every cultivator of Violet
Orchid Empire will believe that we are cowards.
I have to show them that nobody gets away alive after killing our members.
Even if they were from the five major sects, they would be hunted to death after what they did."
"Yes, boss!" the bulky man answered and then left the hall. . . . .
At the Flaming Sun Valley.
The Flaming Sun Valley ranked No. 2 among the five major sects in Violet Orchid Empire.
It was a strong sect with a long history. It was said that they had dozens of cultivators at the Mysterious Realm. And that all of the
disciples of the Flaming Sun Valley were bold and powerful.
The Flaming Sun Valley covered a large area, in which magnificent mountains lay.
In the depths of the mountain range, a hidden cabin was located in a place full of birds chirping about and was filled with the
fragrance of flowers. The stone door to the cabin weighed 1, 000 pounds.
Bang!
A terrifying amount of vital energy force exploded inside the stone cabin, causing the stone door to disintegrate. The debris was
sent flying all over the place.
Crack! Crack!
In the blink of an eye, six large trees around the secret cabin were smashed into pieces by the flying debris.
Boom! Boom!
The trunks fell onto the ground, causing sand and stones flying. The place finally quieted down after some time.
Then an old man with grey hair suddenly stepped out. He was surrounded by dense vital energy force. His aura was so strong
and menacing.
"Aaaaargh! What's going on? Why is Raymond's Soul Badge broken?
Raymond, my dear grandson!
What has happened to you?
Who? Who killed my dear grandson?
Even the surging waters can never extinguish my flames of anger.
Our Cui Clan has only one heir for five generations. Raymond is my only grandson, the apple of my eye.
I can't believe that he has been killed.
I'm the Chief Elder of the Flaming Sun Valley, yet someone dared to kill my dear grandson. The murderer has declared war on
the Flaming Sun Valley. I will never forgive him!
I swear I'll avenge Raymond. I will investigate who killed him even if it means using the full strength of the Flaming Sun Valley."
The old man was Dwayne Cui, the Chief Elder of the Flaming Sun Valley.
His grandson was Raymond, who had been killed by Austin.
He had been focused on cultivation in the secret cabin in the last few months. When he finished his cultivation and came to his
senses, he then discovered that his grandson's Soul Badge had broken.
He issued his commands to his men. After a while, a group of elite members of the Flaming Sun Valley left the sect to investigate
who had killed Raymond.
