The Supreme God of Martial Arts

The disciples sent by the Ji Family guarded all the passageways. They also set up checkpoints in all cities of Dawning Kingdom.

They were really determined to track down Peacock Princess and take her alive.

Aside from this, the Ji Family also offered a generous reward to the public. Anyone who could catch Peacock Princess would be

rewarded handsomely.

Other than the members of the beast race who were involved with Peacock Princess, many people noticed that the Ji Family was

also looking for a young man.

They saw pictures of him posted everywhere around Dawning Kingdom.

People were actually wondering what the young man could have been done to the Ji Family to get himself into such grave trouble.

The young man in the picture was none other than Austin.

Austin helped Peacock Princess to successfully flee from the Dawning Mountains so the people of the Ji Family hated him.

As he was standing on the street, Austin was staring at one of his pictures hanging on the wall.

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

'The Ji Family is one of the three prominent families in the East Mainland. Now that I've messed up with them, I'm definitely in

trouble, ' Austin mused.

'The disciples | met in the Dawning Mountains were just a small portion of the Ji Family. I'm sure they still have a lot of more

powerful disciples.’

Austin couldn't help but feel worried. As one of the three prominent families in the East Mainland, the Ji Family was far more

influential than he could imagine.

Therefore, it was absolutely a nightmare to make this family an enemy.

Suddenly, Austin remembered Marcus. When he heard that Marcus defeated Peacock Princess, he couldn't help but laugh.

‘This must be Marcus' and that elder's doing. They asked their men to keep Marcus's failure a secret. Instead, they spread the news

that he defeated Peacock Princess and hurt her badly, ' surmised Austin inwardly.

A few moments later, Austin spotted a lot of armed cultivators canvassing the city. All of them were wearing grave expressions on

their faces.

Sof them even stopped passersby from tto time. Then they would take out Austin's picture and compare it to the

passersby. They were anticipating to see Austin around the place.

Using his spiritual sense, Austin discovered that those cultivators had Peacock Princess's and his portraits in their possession.

Obviously, they were sent by the Ji Family to look for the two of them.

The Ji Family had extended its influence to many kingdoms of the East Mainland, including the Dawning Kingdom.

Since Austin already knew that the cultivators of the Ji Family were in search of him and Peacock Princess everywhere, he decided

to never take off the Appearance-transforming Clothes.

The clothes could change his appearance so that the people of the Ji Family would not be able to recognize him.

Half a day had passed.

Using his spiritual sense, Austin suddenly spotted someone going through the city gate.

It was Marcus.

He was dressed in fine purple clothes. There was also a black fire burning on the surface of his body.

Darkness, silence and sadness filled the area in a ten-mile radius around him. That was the scent of death.

Anyone who knew the secret skill of the Ji Family would immediately tell that only the Dark Scripture had the power to do this.

Dark Scripture was one of the valuable ancient scriptures in the East Mainland. Its power was terrifying. Actually, only important

members of the Ji Family were qualified to cultivate it.

When they saw Marcus entering the city, the pedestrians nearby made way for him. No one dared to cclose to him.

People really looked up to him because he was an elite among the young people in the East Mainland.

On the top of that, his father was the former chief of the Ji Family. That meant, he was one of the core members of a prominent

family and he had a high position.

For these reasons, common disciples would never dare to offend him.

When Marcus felt the respect and fear of the people around him, his eyes twinkled. He even lifted up his chin more to exclude a

noble aura.

"Look, it's Marcus Ji from the Ji Family!"

"Yes, it's him. | heard that he had an intense battle with Peacock Princess in the Dawning Mountains and won. Because of that,

Peacock Princess ran away and is nowhere to be found now."

Speople spoke out their thoughts. They couldn't avert their eyes from Marcus as he continued to walk on the street.

Since he was a core member of the Ji Family, it was impossible for him to keep a low profile. No matter where he went, he would

always attract attention.

'If only people know the truth, ' Austin mocked inwardly. ‘Marcus bragged that he defeated Peacock Princess where in fact, it was

the other way around. He lied to everyone. That's so low. Shon him."

Meanwhile, the other cultivators on the street swarmed towards Marcus.

"Mr. Ji," greeted them in a humble manner.

"What have you got?" asked Marcus in an arrogant tone as he placed his hands behind his back.

It was normal for him to behave this way in front of other cultivators because they were all aware that he was superior to them.

Most members of the Ji Family must show respect to him.

"We have been searching here for a day now but still we haven't found any signs of her," answered one of the cultivators.

His voice was full of respect as he bowed his head to Marcus.

Instantly, Marcus' face turned dark as he heard the report.

In the past few days, he had been looking for Peacock Princess everywhere in the Dawning Mountains but he failed.

Since the people of the Ji Family were also looking for her everywhere in the city, he expected to get a positive result from them.

However, he was also welcomed with a bad news.

The news ruined Marcus" entire mood.

People in the East Mainland were talking about how he had defeated Peacock Princess. Everyone respected and admired him more

because of this.

But if Peacock Princess suddenly showed up, he was certain that she would debunk his lie.

He could never allow that to happen, so he wanted them to seize Peacock Princess as soon as possible. He could only be rest

assured once Peacock Princess was in his hands.

"Send more men to look for her," ordered Marcus coldly.

"If you hear anything about her, letknow immediately. All of you will definitely receive a handsreward once we find her."

The cultivators’ eyes lit up upon hearing the words "handsreward".

"Got it, Mr. Ji," replied the cultivators excitedly.

They were all anticipating the handsreward.

"One more thing. Investigate this guy," added Marcus.

"Then send our men to get rid of his family, relatives, friends and members of his sect. Anyone connected to him must die."

He stared at Austin's picture with intense hatred in his eyes.

Austin helped Peacock Princess escape from him. Marcus couldn't accept this fact.

There was no way he would spare Austin because of it. The worse was, everyone connected to Austin would also be implicated.

People who heard Marcus' words held their breaths.

‘Looks like Marcus is going to execute everyone connected to this young man.

What did this young man do to the Ji Family? Why would Marcus be so cruel to him?' they wondered.

They were aware that Marcus was dead serious.

Apart from the three holy lands, the other two prominent families and the major sects, the Ji Family was also capable of destroying

any forces or organizations in the East Mainland.

""I'm on it, Mr. Ji," answered one cultivator immediately.

Austin was able to hear everything through his spiritual sense.

‘Damn it! You're really a cold-blooded bastard, Marcus. You even want to eliminate everyone connected to me, ' thought Austin.

‘Let's see how good you really are. Just don't givea chance to get to you first. Or else, | will never let you go."

Austin glowered at Marcus with blazing eyes. He was standing in a remote corner where no one could notice him.

He would never show mercy to those who wanted him dead.

Austin stayed to where he was hiding and watched Marcus and his crew's every move.

Half a day later, Austin noticed that Marcus was about to take his leave.

'So, he doesn't plan to stay long in the Genuine Water City, ' said Austin to himself silently. He was staring at Marcus' receding

figure.

'That elder in black is not around and he doesn't have any cultivators with him. This is my chance, ' he suddenly thought in

excitement.

A ferocious look flashed across his eyes.

'Fuck them all! The Ji Family had already causedso much problems. It's my turn to teach them a lesson.’

Austin made a decision while watching Marcus moving fast towards the city gates.

He licked his lips and got ready for an assault.
