Austin frowned when he saw the enormous human-shaped puppet walking toward him. The energy emitted by the puppet was
astonishing. Austin estimated that its military capability was equally powerful.
A middle-aged man stood on the broad shoulders of the archaic puppet.
This man's vital energy cultivation base seemed to be at the Primal Holy Realm.
Austin gasped when he realized how hard it would be to deal with them.
The powerful combination of a master at the Primal Holy Realm and an archaic puppet was genuinely frightening!
"Get ready to leave!"
Austin instructed the others through his spiritual sense.
Meanwhile, he used his mind to transport the leader of the Fire Worshiping Sect and Fanny's grandfather to his City model.
"Humph, are you thinking about escaping? | will not let that happen!"
The old man in the yellow robe sneered when he realized that Austin and his companions were trying to leave. In the blink of an
eye, he patted his waist. Suddenly, several yellow light-spots flew out.
These yellow light-spots looked tiny, like grains of yellow sand.
And yet, each yellow light-spot rumbled and seemed as heavy as a mountain. Austin's eyes widened when he noticed that the
space around the spots nearly collapsed as they passed through.
Before he could react, a shower of yellow light-spots rained down on Austin, like meteorites.
Austin was shocked. 'What are these yellow light-spots? They look so small, but why is each one so heavy?’ he wondered.
Although astonished, Austin brandished his Slaughtering Sword. Four or five streaks of blood-red sword aura shot out from the
sword in a flash. They headed straight for the yellow light-spots.
The queen's face darkened, too. She had also noticed that something was weird about these yellow light-spots.
She summoned her energy and, at once, a gray disc, shaped like a full moon, flew out of her delicate body and shone brightly.
Various runes had been carved on the disc. It spun at high speed as it smashed its way toward the yellow light-spots.
Austin had seen the queen use her magic treasure, the Shadowy Moon Disc, before.
"Clang, clang..."

As the sword aura and the disc released by Austin and the queen blocked the yellow light-spots, a series of loud noises were heard.
"Who are you? Why are you helping this bastard?
The Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom considers Austin as an enemy.
Your cultivation base is at a high level. But, you are mistaken if you think you can fight against all the cultivators of the Heavenly
Dragon Holy Kingdom. That thought is pure arrogance!" the old man in yellow shouted at the queen.
"Do you represent all the warriors from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom? How ridiculous!
All major sects are after my treasures.
Do you think that no one else can see your evil intentions?
Don't disguise your wicked actions as glory and righteousness," Austin snapped grimly.
As he spoke to the old man, Austin used his spiritual sense to tell the queen to prepare.
Without wasting more time, Austin launched his Demonic Teleportation Skill. Simultaneously, several shadows, identical to Austin,
appeared. With a whooshing sound, Austin disappeared.
The queen's body bectransparent before melting into the void. Then, eerily, she disappeared as well.
"No, you cannot leave yet!"
The old man in yellow wanted to prevent Austin from leaving.
As he howled, the overwhelming yellow light-spots fell on Austin again.
Amid the rumbling sound, bits of yellow light-spots slammed into Austin's shadow.
"Humph! Let's see if you can survive my Corrosive Yellow Sand!" the old man in yellow muttered coldly.
His grim expression and his eyes reflected the cruelty coursing through him.
The next moment, however, his eyes widened as incredulity flooded through him.
"No way. How could he travel so quickly?"
The old man had only hit Austin's shadow, not his body.
Once Austin's Demonic Teleportation Skill was unleashed, he could travel up to five kilometers in a flash. Austin's speed was truly
astonishing.
The yellow-robed old man had no idea that a cultivator at the preliminary stage of Tribulation Realm could travel with such
incredible speed.
Even the old man found it challenging to reach that speed despite being a master at the Primal Holy Realm.
"It's strange. When Austin left, | felt a rush of evil aura coming from him.
Is he related to the demon race?"
The expression on the old man's face changed from cruelty to shock.
When Austin unleashed the Demonic Teleportation Skill, the old man did feel traces of evil aura from Austin.
"Moore, something is wrong with Austin. He may be a spy for the demon race!
We can't let him escape.
We should look into this matter."
As soon as these words were spoken, the old man in yellow disappeared from his spot. He was now, chasing Austin.
The moment Austin and the queen vanished, the archaic puppet of the Ghost Puppet Sect cto the old man's side.
After hearing the old man, the middle-aged man standing on the puppet's shoulder carefully sensed the air around him.
"Well, there is evil aura here. It looks like Austin is not what he appears to be.
Legend has it that members of the demon race can manipulate human souls and occupy human bodies.
The soul in Austin's body is probably a demon's soul," the middle-aged man speculated.
"No wonder he has been fighting against and killing human cultivators!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man shot a will into the archaic puppet on which he was standing.
"Bang!"

The archaic puppet jumped into the sky and chased Austin.
The archaic puppet was so fast that he and the middle-aged man were almost invisible to the naked eye. Only a faint shadow could
be seen in the sky as they flew past.
Soon, startling news spread across the whole Ghost Puppet City.
It was said that the prominent sects worked together to set the trap to lure Austin with the intention of imprisoning him.
The result was unexpected! Everyone involved fell into Austin's hands.
The people arrested by Austin included ten elders at the Heaven Realm, as well as elite and principal disciples of various sects
such as Keyon, the Holy Heritor of the Ghost Puppet Sect, Nora from the Song Clan, and Jeffrey from the Kong family.
The news caused an uproar throughout the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom.
The cause of this incident added to the people's displeasure.
"It is said that Austin arrested those disciples because the big sects and forces took away two of his best friends first. Austin is
doing to them what they did to him."
"Oh, | see!"
"Then the big sects and forces are at fault."
"Hush! Keep your voice down! Do you want to die? How dare you say that out loud?
If word gets out and those big sects and forces challenge you, will you be able to deal with them?"
Everyone all across the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom debated amongst themselves.
Austin and the queen, however, escaped from the Ghost Puppet City by relying on their bodily movement skills.
Austin executed his Demonic Teleportation Skill several times in a row, and within a few seconds, he had left the city far away.
The queen was not slower than Austin. On the contrary, her nearly transparent body moved faster than Austin.
Austin gasped at her speed.
Soon, he noticed two streaks of lights chasing them.
It was the old man in the yellow robe and the archaic puppet from the Ghost Puppet Sect.
