The Supreme God of Martial Arts

"Who did it?"

The old man roared in fury. The entire underground area quivered due to the terrifying sound waves that cfrom his roar.

His body was trembling so intensely due to his extrwrath that it seemed as if he would fall down any time.

The mineral warehouse was the treasure room of the Zhao Clan. Thus, the majority of the treasures they had obtained in their

mining area over the past several months were stored in there.

But the most precious things in store there were the tcrystals that they just dug out a day ago.

This particular kind of crystal ore contained plenty of tenergy. This kind of crystal was almost extinct in the entire land of the

Divine Continent.

Therefore, each and every piece was absolutely invaluable.

But to everyone's surprise, a batch of the tcrystal was dug out from the mining area of the Zhao Clan. Rumor had it that quite

a lot of tcrystals were found, so the total value was a very stunning figure.

The old man had already sent this good news to the headquarters of the Zhao Clan and asked them to arrange a group of capable

warriors to escort the tcrystals back to the headquarters.

But before the capable warriors could even get there, the theft took place and everything in the mineral warehouse was stolen.

The entire warehouse was empty now.

Naturally, this unexpected theft left the old man feeling both frightened and enraged.

"This is him, sir!"

A man said as he waved his hand to draw a faint shadow of a person with his spiritual sense. Gradually, the shadow became

clearer and clearer until it showed a vivid image of Austin.

"A young man? Unbelievable!"

The old man stared coldly at the image of Austin that the middle-aged man had just conjured.

"He couldn't have run too far yet. Let's go after him now!"

The old man rushed along the tunnel underground and dashed out of the mining cave in the blink of an eye.

And soon, several groups of people from the Zhao Clan were also sent searching for the thief in every possible direction—combing

every crevice and corner in the area in an attempt to find Austin.

Among the people of the Zhao Clan, there were three who stood out as the swiftest and most effective.

All three of them were advanced cultivators at the Heavenly Grotto Realm level. They had been in charge of the mining area for

many years, and one of them was the short, thin old man who had just rushed into the underground mineral warehouse to check

for any trace of Austin.

Meanwhile, the other two advanced cultivators were a fat old man in a gray robe and a tall and strong middle-aged man.

The three of them spread out in different directions in search of the thief.

"Be careful. It seems like that guy is good at hiding and escaping since he was able to escape from the warehouse underground!"

The short, thin old man warned his two companions in a resonant voice.

His voice sounded like waves of deafening thunder and reached everyone's ears.

"Go back to the mining pit and search along the mining tunnels. He might be in one of them!"

Someone in the crowd proposed.

Upon hearing this, all of the people of the Zhao Clan immediately rushed into the mining pit without hesitation.

However, this way, they were merely relying on their luck in finding the thief.

Even though the cultivators could still perceive things through their spiritual sense when they were under the ground, their use of

it was still quite restricted.

Underground, their spiritual sense could only work within a certain range that was much smaller than the usual. As a result, they

could not use their spiritual sense as easily and effectively as they could above the ground.

But Austin wasn't like any of them. He could move just as easily underground as he did above ground—it didn't matter whether he

was in the soil or the rocks or wherever, it was all the sto him. He could travel in every direction and traverse anything above

and below ground, and nothing could stop him.

"Master, pay attention to the three advanced cultivators at the Heavenly Grotto Realm level. They are the only persons you need

to be alert of.

Cultivators at the Heavenly Grotto Realm level can understand and use the laws of heaven and earth to sdegree. More than

that, they also have skind of ability to communicate with heaven and earth in the space nearby.

So even if you travel under the ground, they could still accurately perceive your position," Brady said to Austin.

As a veteran cultivator, he, of course, knew sthings that Austin didn't know.

Just as Brady had said, Austin soon found that there were three people running closely behind them on the ground, and no matter

which direction he went, they merely followed suit.

"Hey, Brady, do you know how strong the three cultivators at the Heavenly Grotto Realm are?

How about we just go out and fight them instead? Do we stand a chance?" asked Austin.

Since there seemed no way to get rid of them, Austin thought it would be a good idea to just face the problem head on.

"One of the three cultivators at the Heavenly Grotto Realm is quite powerful. In fact, he is almost as powerful as | am.

On the other hand, the other two cultivators are just average warriors. They are nothing compared to me.

But | still think we'd better leave if all three of them are coming for us at the stime.

| can deal with the strongest one among them, but the chance of you winning if the other two decide to join forces to fight you is

quite slim," said Brady.

He relayed to Austin everything he found after he launched his spiritual sense to get an estimate of the strength of the three

cultivators chasing after them.

"All right, in that case, we should find a way to escape first," replied Austin with a nod.
