It didn't take long and very soon, the usherette cup to Austin in the lobby of the first floor of the Deep Sea Commercial House,
and handed him a Space Ring she had been carrying carefully on a tray in her hand.
"Sir, all the superior herbs you requested are in here. You may check them if you like. Do you need anything else?"
She respectfully asked Austin with a helpful glance.
"No, thanks,"
Austin replied in a polite tone, taking the Space Ring and unleashing his spiritual sense to check inside. There were indeed all the
level two superior herbs he needed to refine the Green Evil Pill.
He then turned around and left the Beyond City.
His plan was to find a quiet place to refine a small amount of Green Evil Pill at first. There was no telling what the side effects of the
refining might be and who might interrupt him.
What the... what?
The moment he left the Beyond City, Austin's expressions changed.
He could sense that a dozen figures were following him secretly from a distance.
‘That is so weird. Who are they? Why would someone follow me?
Did they see through my disguise?"
Austin thought to himself.
Austin didn't entered the Beyond City in his real appearance but had disguised himself as a common merchant.
This was because he knew what a well-known figure he was in the East Mainland, and wherever he went, people would recognize
him and want to meet him. He didn't want to waste any time.
'Well, in that case, | am going to play with you just for the sake of sfun.’
Austin felt that the people following him were drawing closer and he sneered. It was tto play cat and mouse.
He started his bodily movement skill and rushed towards a mountain nearby that was isolated from all nearby cities. No reason to
cause a citywide commotion, right?
He landed on a hillside with his hands behind his back, as if he had merely cout here for a walk and glanced in the direction of
his followers with a sneer.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Very soon, more than a dozen figures rushed over towards the hillside as well and surrounded Austin in an instant.
Now that Austin saw them clearly, he noticed that there were thirteen of them, all at the Divine Bridge Realm; with three at the
premium stage. Hmm, who would dispatch such a force behind him?
"Hah! I don't know what Nelson Li was thinking about. The guy dispatched thirteen of us to catch this nobody," the leading middle-
aged man complained and his companions gave a chuckle.
He was one of the premium stage cultivators. Being fat and sturdy, there was a very air of impatience around him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt
"Anyway, let's just take him down and not waste any time. | am getting thirsty for a drink ."
With a wave of his hand, the stout middle-aged man ordered the attack.
In his eyes, Austin was a mere child at the preliminary stage of Divine Bridge Realm and didn't deserve his attention at all.
"Oh, you want to takedown, huh?
Why? Who sent you here?"
Austin asked coldly in a demanding tone.
"Damn it, boy! Who do you think you are! You just cback with us and do as we ask. What makes you think you're important
enough to ask us questions?"
The thirteen cultivators who had surrounded Austin were really angry and impatient when they saw just how cold and calm he
looked.
One of them waved his hand towards Austin.
But a wave was all that was written in his destiny.
Boom!
The earth suddenly exploded a few yards away from them, and five thick roots, which were slithering alive like snakes rushed out
in an instant. Like five flood dragons, they moved towards the cultivator at the premium stage of Divine Bridge Realm at a rapid
pace and strangled him.
"Argh!"
It happened so fast that the poor cultivator was unable to even think about dodging the attack. His body was instantly compressed
into a pulp and as the tress withdrew, only pieces of flesh and broken bones remained.
"Go to hell!"
The rest of them, both surprised and furious, roared and rushed towards their enemy.
Austin sneered. Hands were still clasped behind his back, and he showed no intention of making a move.
Bang! Bang! Bang
Once again, the ground was constantly broken apart. Soil was splashed everywhere and dozens of thick roots rose into the sky,
rushing towards the warriors who still remained around him.
With the improvement in Austin's strength, the demonic sky vine had also grown more powerful.
When he had just acquired this plant, he had only been at the Bitter Sea Realm.
After that, Austin had made a breakthrough and reached the preliminary stage of Divine Bridge Realm, so the strengths of the
demonic sky vine had also been enhanced several folds.
Right now, these vines were as powerful as a cultivator at the premium stage Divine Bridge Realm.
And since each vine contained dozens of branches, a single vine was equivalent to dozens of warriors at the premium stage of
Divine Bridge Realm. This meant that for Austin, dealing with these people was a piece of cake.
"Argh"
Within a few seconds, almost every single cultivator was torn into pieces by the vines and nothing but broken bones and
compressed pulp remained.
The stout middle-aged man who was in lead was the only one left.
By now, his face was already pale with fear. He was staring at Austin in horror, who had nothing apparently, and his whole body
was trembling.
Dozens of thick roots, like dozens of flood dragons, were wandering around his body, as if they were going to crush him within
seconds.
"Now, tellwho sent you here? Or do you want a similar treatment?"
Austin asked him in a cold voice.
"Young hero, please forgive me. Don't kill me.
It wasn't our business to ask why when Nelson Li sent us over here. We just follow orders. That's all."
The poor guy was almost kneeling down on the ground by now.
"Who is Nelson Li? Tell us clearly."
Austin threatened him again by making the vines draw near.
"Wait, wait! The manager of the Deep Sea Commercial House in Beyond City, Nelson Li. He sent us after you, ordering us to bring
you back.
Please spare my life. | am nobody! I just follow orders and it wasn't my business to ask why."
The middle aged man was trembling with fear, and begging for mercy.
Nelson Li, the manager of the Deep Sea Commercial House in Beyond City? Why?
Austin was surprised.
Why would the Deep Sea Commercial House want him arrested?
Stacy was the one who had given him the token, so the Deep Sea Commercial House should have treated him as a distinguished
guest.
Did something happen to Stacy?
Was she okay? Austin got worried.
"I had the token of Miss Ren with me, which means | am a distinguished guest of your Deep Sea Commercial House. So this Nelson
Li should have treatedwell. Why did he send you here to catchinstead?"
Austin asked the middle-aged man.
"Please, man! I'm just following orders. | really don't know about what actually happened.
But | do have a gut feeling that something big has happened in the Deep Sea Commercial House recently. We are getting the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfeeling that it has something to do with sconflict among the senior management of the Deep Sea Commercial House.
But as servants, we don't know much about it, nor do we dare to ask why. It's not our place,"
the middle-aged man answered cautiously.
"Oh, what happened among the top managers of the Deep Sea Commercial House?
And wait! Isn't Miss Ren the daughter of the head of the Deep Sea Commercial House?"
Austin asked.
"Yes, she is the daughter of the topmost leader. But something happened a few days ago.
It is said that two days ago, there was an unsuccessful assassination attempt on her life and she was seriously injured. Nobody
knows where she is right now.
The Deep Sea Commercial House is sending a large number of people to search for her,"
the middle-aged man answered.
"What?! | can't believe Miss Ren was the target of an assassination attempt! You say she is missing?"
Austin was shocked.
"Yes, for the last two days. Her father is sending out a large number of people to search for her but so far, people have been
unsuccessful,"
the middle-aged man replied.
"l see."
Austin nodded.
"You can die now, by the way."
Austin looked at the middle-aged man and told him simply.
The next instant, dozens of those vines twisted around in the air like cobras, and the middle-aged man was smashed to pieces
before he could even beg once more.
Not in any circumstances would Austin have let the middle-aged man go back.
'So there was a conflict in the senior management of the Deep Sea Commercial House. Then Stacy was attacked suddenly and
disappeared.
Maybe they were people from inside the Deep Sea Commercial House who did that.
And since | am holding the token of Miss Stacy, so | am obviously a target too, which must be why Nelson sent people to catch me.
So Nelson Li was Stacy's enemy. Either since forever, or something cto light that broke bonds.
| need to go see him then.’
Austin decided.
Stacy was Austin's friend and they had gone through several adventures and experiences together. She was in trouble now and
Austin needed to go help her.
He immediately turned around and headed back to the Beyond City.
