"What's going on? How did master survive?" Violet murmured with her eyes wide open in astonishment. The hands that had been
covering her eyes were spread open and she was peering through the spaces in her fingers.
"I can't believe it. Those runes were protecting master?" Violet exclaimed, turning to smile at the gnome.
Their faces were a mixture of ecstasy and confusion as they watched Austin still meditating on the grass.
"I know what happened!
Those runes aren't ordinary ones. They were in the bamboo forest for a reason.
| remember learning that when powerful masters from the ancient times died, the law power that they practiced would remain
where they had passed away
A very strong master must have died in this bamboo forest, and the law power he learnt was turned into these shiny runes.
Master is so talented that he understood these runes and built a connection with the law power in the forest.
He learned how to control the law power in this bamboo forest.
That explains how they protected him even when he couldn't consciously do it himself,"
Brady explained, feeling more excited by the minute.
He had been born more than a hundred thousand years ago so he had experienced a lot and knew many things.
"I see,"
Violet and the gnreplied, not fully understanding what he was saying but nodding their heads anyway.
Law power was advanced and mysterious to most cultivators.
They had never witnessed it until now so it was very foreign to them. However, they were just happy that Austin was safe from
harm.
Brady was sure that he was right about it being the law power but there was a chance he was incorrect.
Despite being at the Heavenly Grotto Realm, he only knew a thing or two about the law power.
"Get him! He killed Rudi! He deserves to die!"
In the middle of the celebration, they had nearly forgotten the dozen principal disciples of the Heavenly Mysterious Sect that were
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrunning at Austin, ready to murder him.
They were a part of one of the most powerful ancient sects in the Middle Pilgrim Land. It was important that they upheld their
importance and avenged their dead. Austin had killed a principal disciple, putting them to shame.
"Kill him!"
The principal disciples of the Heavenly Mysterious Sect lifted their arms and released their most powerful martial arts skills. Waves
of powerful vital energy all rained down upon Austin who was still far away in his head.
Watching unblinkingly, Violet and the gnwere still worried that Brady was wrong and Austin would be killed.
Even Brady bit on his lip as he watched the attack unfold. If the runes didn't take action, he was prepared to teleport into the
bamboo forest and risk everything for Austin.
Just when things seemed hopeless, the golden runes began vibrating in the air.
They began spinning faster around Austin's head until they looked like a golden blur. It was like an alarm going signaling that
danger was approaching.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The golden runes pointed at the principal disciples of the Heavenly Mysterious Sect and shot towards them.
"This is not good. Fall back!" one of the principal disciples shouted.
Like dominos, a chain reaction occurred and all the principal disciple scattered. They had forgotten their rage and decided Austin
wasn't worth it after all.
They activated their bodily movement skills and retreated as fast as they could.
However, they didn't move fast enough. The runes flew through the air at an intense speed and were able to slow down everything
around them.
Frowning, the principal disciples tried to move forward but it was like they were in a dream where they couldn't move any longer.
"No!"
"Help! | don't want to die."
"Oh Jesus Christ! It's going to get me!"
Within moments, the golden runes had slashed through each of the principal disciples of the Heavenly Mysterious Sect who had
tried to attack Austin. They were covered in holes like slices of swiss cheese and blood ran down their battered bodies.
It was like the bamboo forest had becthe cemetery for the principal disciples. All the cultivators that had gathered fell
completely silent as they studied the scene.
Slowly, more cultivators poured into the area until they were packed shoulder-to-shoulder. Sof them were the disciples from
other influential sects and students from the four martial arts schools of the Middle Pilgrim Land. The rest were from the East
Mainland, the West Desert, the North Plateau, and the South Mountain.
The screams of the principal disciples had drawn them in and now they were confused as to what had occurred there.
The only explanation was the young man sitting cross-legged, deep in meditation.
A white circle of light still shone behind Austin's head like a halo.
‘Seriously? This guy is still in the state of meditation after all that!
More than a dozen people attempted to kill him. They all ended up dead but it doesn't look like he is aware of anything.
That's ridiculous.
The principal disciples of the Heavenly Mysterious Sect died for nothing, ' the onlookers thought, crossing their arms.
The remaining disciples of the Heavenly Mysterious Sect stared at the dead on the ground and sighed. Meanwhile, a few of them
gained the bravery to look at Austin and curse.
"Humph! This man killed disciples of our Heavenly Mysterious Sect. | will finish him!" a slender, tall man dressed in yellow clothes
announced.
Several cultivators stepped aside as he walked to the front of the crowd.
Gasps were heard when they realized he was the Holy Son of the Heavenly Mysterious Sect—an exceptional genius in the Middle
Pilgrim Land.
Once he had cleared an area, he raised his arms and danced them around. A shout left his lips and darkness filled the sky above
his head.
A black, massive seal appeared in the sky and it glowed and hissed terribly.

As the Holy Son shouted, the space around them shook violently. Cracks appeared in the air as energy was sucked towards the
black seal like a vacuum. Around it, a whirlpool formed that resembled a black hole, swallowing everything around it.
When it had reached its maximum capacity, it lowered from the sky and enveloped over Austin, eating him too.
As it rose again, everyone could see that Austin had disappeared. There was only a whirling, black hole made from energy left in
the bamboo forest.
The heaven and earth shook around them.
Feeling nervous, the cultivators stood with their arms extended, trying to keep their balance.
However, the cultivators from the other four regions couldn't help but marvel at the strength of the Holy Son of the Heavenly
Mysterious Sect.
"Ha-ha! That guy had it coming. He was nothing but a pretender, and now look at him! Our Holy Son slayed him."
"Hmm... that weakling was lucky. If it were up to us, we would have taken him alive and tortured him in the cruelest ways as
punishment for offending our sect.”
"Quick! Find out the identity of the weakling and then kill everyone in the sect which he belonged to!"
The remaining disciples from the Heavenly Mysterious Sect felt pleased, cheering and bursting into laughter. They were convinced
that Austin had died at the hands of their Holy Son.
