Chapter 101 Assassins Hidden In The Dark


    After Murray left, Austin was still deep in thought.


    If the steward hadn''t told him the truth, he would have been practicing the martial arts with only the


    thought of improving his strength. He had no specific goal about what he should achieve.


    But now, he finally figured out what he must do. If he wanted to take revenge, he at least had to reach


    the Earth Realm with his vital energy.


    Braxton and Bryan were both at the beginning level of the Earth Realm. Aside from that, Braxton had


    Elder Luo whose cultivation base was at the advanced level of the Earth Realm.


    Austin, on the other hand, was only at the seventh level of the Energy Gathering Realm. He still had a


    long way to go before he could reach the Earth Realm.


    But there''s only one challenge that Austin needed to ovee. For an Energy Gathering Realm


    cultivator to reach the Earth Realm, he had to make a big breakthrough which was more difficult than


    enhancing one''s levels within the range of the Energy Gathering Realm.


    With this thought in mind, Austin felt the urge to improve himself.


    Now, nothing was more important to him than time and strength. Seize the day, seize the hour! It was


    the only way for him to reach his goal.


    In just a second, Austin had finally made up his mind. He would start his crazy n of practice from


    today.


    Previously, in the hard mission room, Austin chose three ces at the outer mountains of Grand


    Destion Mountain to do the tasks.


    At the outer mountains, aside from earning the crystals by finishing the tasks, he could also improve


    himself through the realbat.


    So now that he was determined to further improve his vital energy, he decided to once again go to the


    outer mountains of Grand Destion Mountain tomorrow.


    At that night, he left a note for Evan.


    On the next morning, Evan couldn''t see Austin anywhere. Seeing the note, he assumed that Austin had


    already left to start his cultivation journey.


    …….


    In the same residential area, there was a luxurious and superb house.


    The house was grand and extremely spacious. It was painted in red with doors made of bronze. Even


    the door nail was as big as a bowl. At the gate, there stood two Kirin statues which looked extremely


    intimidating, adding dignity to the ce.


    Suddenly, an outer disciple was rushing towards the house, looking very anxious.


    "Marvin! Marvin!"


    The outer disciple called out as he ran.


    After a while, a handsome sullen-looking young man walked out from the house. He was Marvin.


    "Stop fussing in my house! What are you freaked out about? If it isn''t important, you better leave or I''ll


    beat the shit out of you!"


    The outer disciple was startled, but he continued despite the threat," I saw Austin leave the Sun Sect


    this morning. And it seems that he is going to the outer mountains of Grand Destion Mountain."


    Marvin''s eyes widened," He is going to the outer mountains of Grand Destion Mountain?"


    "Yes, I saw it with my eyes. I can''t be wrong," the outer disciple said firmly.


    "He left Sun Sect?"


    After thinking for a while, a crazy idea popped into his mind and his eyes shed viciously.


    ''God is on my side! That trash left Sun Sect at the right time. If I could kill him out of here, I can take the


    earth spirit fruits and vent out my anger!'' he thought.


    "That''s great news! Perfect!"


    Marvin blurted out as he raised his eyebrows with joy.


    Then he suddenly turned his head and fiercely said to the disciple," Go find some reliable men with at


    least the strength of sixth level of Energy Gathering Realm!"


    "What do you need them for?"


    "Oh, you know what I want to do, so cut the crap and do what you are told!"


    Marvin said with a twisted face.

    "Marvin, are you nning on killing Austin? You know that with his strength, he is not an easy target.


    Even Billy is no match for him."


    The outer disciple was flustered. The oue of the fight between Austin and Billy shocked many


    other outer disciples.


    "Just do as what I told you. I don''t want to hear any more bullshit! Or do you think that I''m not a match


    for Austin either?"


    Marvin said impatiently," Would you rather me finding these men myself?"


    Marvin''s words boosted the disciple''s confidence. Austin was indeed strong, but Marvin ranked fifth


    among the outer disciples.


    Thinking of this, the outer disciple was sold about the n.


    "I''ll do it right away!"


    Then, the disciple trotted out of Marvin''s house.


    "Austin, let me see if you can escape this time!"


    Marvin muttered with gritted teeth. His deep hatred towards Austin made him lose his mind. The only


    thought that lingered on his mind was to kill Austin.


    But suddenly, another thought shed in his mind.


    "Hey,e back!"


    As the outer disciple was about to walk out of the gate, he heard Marvin call for him. He was confused


    for a while, but then he turned around and came back.


    Marvin said with a cunning face," The n on killing Austin will need one more participant. I''m not the


    only one who''s after Austin''s life."


    "Billy lost to Austin this time. He is a vengeful man and I bet he won''t let it be like that. If he knew that


    Austin had already left the Sun Sect, he would certainly not let him go so easily. This way, we have


    another one to join our team."


    "You help me to spread the news and make sure that Billy gets it."


    "Okay. That''s a clever n, Marvin!"


    the outer disciple ttered.


    ….


    Outside of the Sun Sect, there was a road leading to the outer mountains of Grand Destion


    Mountain.


    It was not long before Austin embarked on this road.


    Suddenly, five people popped out from a hidden ce and watched Austin from not so far away. The


    head of the gangster had a cold face and he gazed at Austin''s back and asked," Are you sure that is


    the Austin we''re looking for? Did you look closely? Is he really the person that Raymond asked us to


    get rid of?"


    "Yes. I already sent people to the Sun Sect to gather all the information. He is definitely Austin," the


    scout who stood beside the head of the group replied.


    "That''s good. He looks young and weak! Makes our job easy!"


    the head said with a sly smile.


    Then he waved his hand and led the group to follow Austin stealthily.


    After two days, Austin already came to the pass of the outer mountains of the Grand Destion


    Mountain.


    There were several buildings on the pass, and they formed a small market.


    There were different stores in the market. Some were stores selling food, and there were inns, and


    stores that purchased all kinds of spoils from cultivatorsing out of the outer mountains of the


    Grand Destion Mountain.


    The outer mountains of Grand Destion Mountain were different from the Beast Mountain. Thetter


    belonged solely to the Sun Sect and only the disciples from the Sun Sect could practice there.


    In the outer mountains of the Grand Destion Mountain, on the other hand, disciples from all sects


    could go there to practice.


    There were also many adventurous mercenary groups who frequented the ce. They either went


    inside to carry out tasks, or to kill diabolic beasts and gather precious nts or other treasures that


    they could sell for more fortunes.


    After two days of travel on the road, Austin decided to stop at the pass and find an inn that he could


    stay in for the night.


    In the deep of the night, the inn was deafening quiet.


    It was perfect for Austin''s meditation as he practiced the Golden Sun Scripture.


    In another room, the five rough and hard-featured men sat in the middle.


    The dim candlelight flickered and illuminated their faces, making their ferocious and bloodthirsty nature


    more hideous.


    They were the men who followed Austin since he set out on the journey.


    They saw him when he entered the inn to stay for the night, so they decided to also stay at the same


    inn to keep an eye on him.


    After a short moment of silence, one of the men suddenly asked," Leader, when can we take the


    move? Isn''t it easy for us to deal with such a fledgling disciple? Why should we wait for so long? He''s in


    the next room now. Let''s just go in there and finish him!"


    the man said impatiently.


    The man who led the team was Matthew.


    He was about thirty years old and at the ninth level of the Energy Gathering Realm. While the other


    four men were at the eighth level of the Energy Gathering Realm.


    Hearing this, Matthewughed," When will you change your hasty manner? Of course, it would be a


    piece of cake for us to kill Austin. But there are too many disciples from different sects around here. I


    don''t want to make a big deal out of it and attract too much attention. Austin is only an outer disciple,


    but Sun Sect is a big sect. If the leaders of the Sun Sect knew about it, I''m afraid there will be potential


    trouble for us in the future."


    "The Blood Wolf Team had existed in the swordsman''s world for decades. What keeps us stand for so


    long is more than just our martial skills, but also our cautious mind. Better safe than sorry. You should


    always remember that."


    "So, we should wait until he enters the outer mountains to carry out our n of killing him."


    Hearing Matthew''s analysis, the four men nodded in approval.


    Meanwhile, in another inn, Marvin was sitting at the table with Lara sitting opposite him pouring his tea.


    Several outer disciples with a high level of martial arts stood beside him.


    "Is Billy here?"


    Marvin asked an outer disciple who stood aside.


    "Yes, I just saw him together with a dozen of outer disciples. I saw them in the market outside."


    "Well, bad luck for Austin! I have a lot of trump cards to deal with him. I can''t wait to see him die a


    miserable death this time. As soon as he enters the outer mountains, no matter how hard he cries for


    help, no one would hear him!"


    On the next day, as the first morning ray spread on the earth and all creatures came back to life, Austin


    already went inside the outer mountain alone.


    He walked all day, over hill and dale. He crossed the high mountains and the thick forests, conquering


    numerous hilltops.


    Austin walked silently in the quiet forest under the watchful eyes of the assassins hidden in the dark.


    They were full of vital energy within their bodies, ready to act at any time.


    Unlike the Beast Mountain, the outer mountains of Grand Destion Mountain not only hadrge


    numbers of level-one and level-two diabolic beasts, but also abundant level-three and level-four


    diabolic beasts. Moreover, some level-five diabolic beasts also asionally haunted the ce.


    Austin had been to the outer mountains of the Grand Destion Mountain several times for the


    practice before. And he was not totally ignorant of the dangers in the mountains.


    With that knowledge, he trod more cautiously along the way.


    When he practiced in the outer mountains of the Grand Destion Mountain before, he had survived


    many life-and-death situations. But now that his cultivation base and vital energy had dropped


    immenselypared to the level he had before, he couldn''t be too careful this time.
