The Ghost Puppet Sect disciples realized that they had messed with the wrong person.
All they could really think about was how to escape from jeopardy.
"Are you planning to run away?" Austin asked with a piercingly numb laugh. "Do you think I'll let you go?"
‘They wanted to rob me. They most certainly are not good people.
| have no reason to consider sparing their lives, ' he thought.
In an instant, Austin drew the Lightning Sword, its blade glimmering brightly in his hand.
Dozens of powerful beams of sword aura shot towards the robbers as he waved his sword in the air.
The thunder and lightning energy contained within the sword aura hit one of them with extraordinary force.
Suddenly, the shrieks of men cut through the silence.
All the disciples of the sect including Mark laid dead with their bodies scattered in pieces. The water running beneath them was
colored with flesh and blood.
Austin surveyed the scene before him. Satisfied with his victory, he put his Lightning Sword aside.
His eyes fell then fell on the young man and woman cowering together.
‘They seem to be in their twenties. They are at the medium stage of Imperial Realm.
The man looks like a simple, honest man.
But there is something lovely about the woman, ' he remarked in his head, studying the strangers.
All this while, the pair were intently observing Austin's every move too.
His performance had left them dumbfounded.
They knew without a doubt that Austin could take them out easily.
"Sir! I have something for you. Please take these three blue magic herbs.
And in return, | beg you to spare our lives,"
the young man said abruptly.
He opened his palms to reveal the magic herbs. They were of a bright sapphire blue color. It looked like they were emanating
spiritual energy from within. Austin's nose tingled against their fragrance as the man brought his palms closer to him.
Although Austin looked younger than himself, the man did not want to take any chances.
The fact that the lad was undoubtedly stronger than he was made him choose his words cautiously.
"So these are blue magic herbs?"
Austin asked in an indifferent voice.
He examined the herbs in the young man's palm.
He was aware that these magic herbs were exceptionally rare. They were used to create spowerful grade-six elixirs.
"What did you do to get into trouble with those people?"
Austin asked, as he moved the man's extended palms away to show he didn't want the herbs.

In that moment, Austin wasn't too interested in the magical herbs for they were just at grade six.
"I will tell you everything," exclaimed the man.
"My sister and | were taking a break here and we happened to find these blue magic herbs.
After we picked up them, we were cornered by those people. They threatened us and tried to steal the herbs from us."
His indignance was apparent to Austin from the way he spoke.
Austin could imagine how the situation had played out.
"We were outnumbered. Besides, they were stronger than us. | intended to give the magic herbs to them so that they would leave
us alone.
But those bastards becinterested in my sister.
They asked my sister to ‘entertain’ them.
Fortunately for us, you cto our rescue in time,"
the man finished his story with a grateful sigh.
After hearing his story, Austin furrowed his eyebrows in disgust.
The misdeeds of the disciples from the Ghost Puppet Sect made him feel indignant.
‘Ghost Puppet Sect is one of the most famous sects in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom.
| didn't expect its disciples to be so unreasonably cruel, ' he thought.
"Keep the herbs with yourself.
| don't want anything from you,"
Austin said decidedly.
"But sir..."
the man muttered, looking surprised and confused.
‘Resources are everything to cultivators.
No matter how strong they might be, they would try to hoard as much as they could.
But now this lad refused to take three sixth-grade herbs. Why?' he thought.
"Sir, 1..."
The man was at a loss for words.
‘This boy is too powerful.
| must not displease him, ' he thought.
"These herbs are yours," Austin insisted again. "l won't take them. | simply won't," Austin repeated with a little frown.
Impatient as he was, he didn't get angry at the man for he understood what he was afraid of.
Austin had forgotten about the girl but she was looking at him intently. She noticed the lines of frustration form across his
forehead.
She raised her voice and spoke to her brother in a hurry.
"Brother, just do what he says."
The man nodded in agreement and continued to place the three blue magic herbs back in his Space Ring.
"Sir, are you heading for the Sand Island to visit that ancient master's residence?"
the man asked politely.
'Sand Island?
Ancient master's residence?
Does that place really exist?"
Austin wondered.
"What do you know about the ancient master?
Telleverything you know!"
Austin said eagerly.
The man was taken aback by the sudden change in the stranger's tone. "I thought you would know about it," he began to say.
"Two days ago, that legendary ancient master's residence appeared above the Sand Island, at the border between Second Outer
Ring and First Outer Ring.
But the door of the residence is yet to be opened.
All the cultivators who have heard about what has happened are on their way to the Sand Island.
They all intend to enter the house to raid the treasures that lie within,"
the young man replied in detail.
"I see..." Austin nodded lost in thought.
He had heard about the ancient master's residence and had always considered it a myth. He was surprised to know that it was in
fact, real. He could feel the excitement under his skin.
"Sir, it is said that the door of that residence will open within two days.
If you also want a share of the treasures, | advise you to head there right now,"
the young man suggested.
Austin gave the prospect a moment of thought.
There was a voice inside him that told him he had to go. Finally, he gave in to the voice and decided to leave for the Sand Island.
‘Anyway, the two princesses have agreed to givetwo bottles of the Magic Sea Water.
Even if | met them stlater, | don't think they'll back out.
The door of that ancient master's residence is going to open. I'm sure if | don't go there, I'll regret it later, ' he reasoned with
himself.
"Are you going to the Sand Island?"

Austin asked the man.
"Yes, we are, sir."
the man replied, almost expectantly.
"How about we go there together?"
Austin proposed.
"That would be great," the man replied.
Both he and his sister evidently thrilled by this proposition.
There was still a long way to go to the Sand Island and the pair knew that they would have to face more perilous conditions.
Majestic sea beasts dwelled in the depths of the sea. They often emerged to the top and posed grave danger to the lives of men.
They had only reached the medium stage of Imperial Realm. They knew they wouldn't be able to cross the waters without help.
They had witnessed Austin's strength. Having a powerful man with them would keep them safer.
Hence, they couldn't resist their delight at his proposal and made no attempt to hid it.
"I'm younger than you, so you can just callby the name.
I'm Austin Lin.
What are your names?"
Austin asked the strangers who had now bechis companions on an adventure.
"Sir, I'm Jimmy Jin.
and this is my sister. Her nis Kimberley Jin,"
the young man replied after shesitation.
"Nice to meet you,"
Austin nodded politely.
He then took out spills from his Space Ring and gave them to them.
"Take these pills... We will head there after resting for a while.
Also, just callby my name, not Sir," he added.
Austin discovered that they had sustained serious injuries during their fight with those Ghost Puppet Sect disciples.
He gave them sof the grade six elixirs he had with him.
Those were the only elixirs he had for healing wounds.
"Thank you, sir... | mean Austin."
Jimmy bowed his head in gratitude while taking the pills.
When he had a closer look at them, he was shocked to the core.
‘These are grade-six pills, ' he exclaimed in his head.
Grade six elixirs were as precious as life to Imperial Realm cultivators like him and his sister.
