"Violet, you should stay here. Be careful when you're dealing with those men from the Ghost Sect." Austin advised Violet telepathically.
Austin was extremely worried about the fight between Seth and Theon. He recognized the Ghost-devouring Flag as soon as Seth displayed the seven-colored flag. Shrouded under its typical weird halo, it shimmered to catch his attention.
Austin's memory about the power of the Ghost-devouring Flag was still fresh. He had experienced it on his last visit to the Ghost Valley.
As far as Austin was concerned, the Ghost-devouring Flag mainly regarded the cultivator's spiritual soul as its target of attack.
Anybody captured by the Ghost-devouring Flag would be put through a terrible battle, in which the cultivator's spiritual soul would have to face attacks from countless ghosts and evil spirits.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was almost useless for one to fight against the ghosts and evil spirits in the Ghost-devouring Flag with his or her vital energy force, because the spiritual sense was the only and sole effective energy that could expel and eliminate them all.
Since Theon, Elder Xu and Elder Xiao were warriors only with Mysterious Real cultivation base, they were not strong in spiritual sense.
Austin knew well that the three of them were in a terrible situation now. Their spiritual souls would have been damaged in the Ghost-devouring Flag. They were probably suffering tremendous injuries. Even if they were able to retreat from the attacking range of the Ghost-devouring Flag, they would becdisabled. The consequences were catastrophic.
Such a consequence was the last thing Austin hoped for.
Austin knew the importance of Theon. It was a fact that he did not hold a good impression in Austin's eyes. However, Austin knew that if Theon died in the fight, the Sun Sect would have no leader to rely on and would thus sink into a mess.
Actually, Austin didn't hold any deep feelings for highly-ranked elders like Theon in the Sun Sect. But as he had spent about six years in the Sun Sect, he didn't want to see it decline and perish. He didn't feel responsible for the leaders but his heart valued the region and the sect which he had inhabited.
After having told Violet to keep an eye on the battle on the other side, Austin jumped into the sky and flew towards the place where Theon, Elder Xiao and Elder Xu were trapped by the Ghost-devouring Flag.
"Austin, how can you control the corpse generals and corpse soldiers of our sect? Where did you learn it? Tell me!" Seth shouted furiously at Austin when he saw the young man come.
He had every reason to get pissed off. Under severe attacks by the Ghost Sect in the past couple of days, the Sun Sect was already on the brink of collapse. He was extremely confident that he would annihilate the Sun Sect this time. It was easier now, but Austin's arrival could affect his plans.
Seth was elated and hopeful of his great would-be achievement of wiping out the Sun Sect from the world. It would be a marvelous feat because it was one among the five most famous sects in the Violet Orchid Empire. That would be an accomplishment only a few people could aspire for.
He didn't expect to see Austin there. It was beyond his imagination that this young man was capable enough to ruin his well- prepared plans in such a short period of time. He helped those Sun Sect men and almost turned the table.
The Ghost Sect was at a great advantage in the battle by using its corpse generals and corpse soldiers. But its advantage had gone as soon as Austin joined the fight. Austin was controlling and using those corpse generals and corpse soldiers against the Ghost Sect! Seth was surprised and startled! He knew well that the situation would have been under his control without Austin's disturbance and his utilization of the corpse generals and corpse soldiers.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTo control the corpse generals and corpse soldiers, was one of the exclusive skills mastered by the members of the Ghost Sect. The Ghost Sect never failed to use it to kill.
The Ghost Sect's strengths completely relied on the corpse soldiers and corpse generals produced through its vile sorcery. These killing machines gave the Ghost Sect the confidence to reign and rule the whole domain of the Violet Orchid Empire.
Seth couldn't digest the fact that there was another person in the world who was able to control the corpse generals and corpse soldiers. It was an unexpected and unheard thing. Thus, the fact shocked him to the extreme.
"That's none of your business, Seth. If you're fully aware of what kind of situation you're in, then withdraw your Ghost-devouring Flag and set free the Sect Leader Theon and his companions." Austin said in a determined tone while looking directly at Seth with a cold face.
"I must know it, Austin. It is our secret skill to control and manipulate the corpse generals and corpse soldiers. Where did you learn it? You're a thief! You are able control so many corpse generals at the stime! Tell me! | must know it!" Seth recalled what Austin had done while manipulating those killing machines. He suddenly noticed a critical thing which had missed his attention earlier.
He was so engrossed in the fight and was so shocked that he hadn't realized this important thing until that moment. It was unbelievable that this young man was able to control almost one hundred corpse generals at the stime! Seth's anger grew as moments passed. He was getting fearful as he recalled every detail of how Austin had controlled and manipulated the corpse generals and corpse soldiers. It had always been a challenge for him to control nearly one hundred corpse generals at the stime, but Austin had managed to do so easily! He knew that it would constremendous spiritual sense to control and manipulate such a huge number. In that case, how was Austin managing it all! As far as Seth was aware, among all the cultivators in the Ghost Sect, only those with Earth Realm base were capable of controlling two or three corpse generals at the stime.
Those with Mysterious Realm base were only able to simultaneously control fourteen or fifteen corpse generals at the most.
And those with Sky Realm base were able to control a maximum of thirty or forty corpse generals at one time.
Being one of the top cultivators in the Ghost Sect, Seth had achieved the medium level of the Sky Realm base in his cultivation skills. Only a few could match up to him in his sect. Yet, he was able to control and manipulate not more than forty corpse generals at the stime.
