Chapter 651 Night Attack (Part One)
It was the middle of the night.
There were many stars glittering in the ck sky. Their lights shone down on the dark brown ground of
nothing, making the scenery ahead look like a mysterious painting on a canvas, partly hidden and
partly visible.
Suddenly, ahead of Austin, the scenery changed. It happened so fast. A lot of houses made of rocks
appeared on the ground which moments ago was empty. Not just that, there were also many people
moving around. Another thing which caught his attention was the presence of many vital energy crystal
mines which also appeared on thend that was vacant moments ago.
Despite the houses, mines and people moving around, the ce felt dark and gloomy. There was
something insidious. The stone houses were small and short. The dark brown rocks and the vital
energy crystal mines made the ce look lifeless.
Far away from Austin, there were a few miners climbing up and down the mines from time to time.
They had strange nk looks on their faces. They kept doing the work in a monotonous way, as if they
had lost their lives and souls. They looked like empty vessels doing the work they were assigned to do.
This lifeless ce was the vital energy crystal district of the Wei family in Stone City.
Austin was hiding behind a big dark brown rock that was high enough to hide a tall person. It covered
himpletely.
He had been able to convince Marwell and Michelle to take their people who were perfectly disguised
to calmly wait for him and secretly help him from afar. He hade here alone in the vital energy
crystal district of the Wei family, to get the vital energy crystals.
"It looks like I am in the right ce. This must be the vital energy crystal district of the Wei family.
Now I have to find the Crystal Cave where they keep the vital energy crystals first. Then I will decide
what to do next," Austin spoke to himself.
ording to Marwell, there was a cave for vital energy crystals in every vital energy crystal district. The
cave was for keeping the vital energy crystals that were extracted from the mines.
Marwell had also revealed that the Crystal Cave was usually under the ground, in a very secret ce.
"Master, I think that you can give this task to the gnome. He is naturally skilled to locate these kinds of
crystals. You just have to ask him to go around the whole district and he will surely end up finding the
cave.
Upon that, the gnome is also gifted by the ability to defend himself from the search performed by
anyone''s spiritual sense."
All of a sudden, Violet''s voice echoed in the Soul Sea of Austin. She had an apt suggestion.
Austin thought over the idea. He was aware of the gnome''s talent. The spiritual sense was useless on
him as it could hardly trace his presence. Besides, when he used his bodily movement skill, he was
extremely fast and couldn''t be caught easily.
Finding it feasible, he nodded his head. He let the gnome out from the Illusion Bead and spoke to him
for a few moments. He wanted to give him certain instructions before sending him off. Then he let him
go alone to search for the Crystal Cave of the Wei family.
Though the gnome couldn''t talk, he was very intelligent and understood when he was spoken to. He
nodded his head at Austin, and quickly left. In a few seconds, he vanished from sight under the star lit
sky.
Austin couldn''t help but secretly praise the gnome''s fast bodily movement skill. Though the gnome''s
bodily movement skill was not better than his, it was still very good.
"All of you, be careful! Only a few days are left for us to offer the vital energy crystals. We can''t let
anything go wrong at this crucial time!"

A tall man shouted in a loud voice that echoed in the lifeless ce.
Far away, around the stone houses which had light, there were more than ten groups of men patrolling
the grounds back and forth. This ce was perfectly guarded, and there were many guards. It was
secured well and nobody could enter the ce without drawing any attention.
"It looks like the Wei family has also strengthened their security in these few days.
Of course! They have to. After all, they robbed the vital energy crystals from the Meng family, so they
have to make sure that the members of the Meng family don''t get the chance to do the same thing and
rob their vital energy crystals.
No wonder they have this ce so well guarded."
Marwell had told Austin that the powers of the Wei family and the Meng family were alike. The most
powerful martial artists from both their families were at the premium stage of Sky Realm.
If the Meng family had not lost many of its good martial artists some time ago, they would have surely
had the power to fight against the Wei family.
It was a fact that the premium stage of the Sky Realm was not that good in the whole Heavenly Dragon
Holy Kingdom. But it was good enough for a small family in a small town to have more than ten martial
artists who were at the Sky Realm.
After all, in the Violet Orchid Empire, only a few royals had been able to reach the stage of the Sky
Realm.
Compared to that, in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom, two small families in a small town had more
than ten people who were at the Sky Realm.
The power of a small family equaled the power of a whole empire!
That was really hard to believe.
But Austin paid no attention to their power. They were just at the Sky Realm after all. Austin wouldn''t
have hesitated to break in even if they were at the Imperial Realm.
A few momentster, under the light of the stars, a small figure reappeared in front of Austin. It was the
gnome. He had returned, hopefully with some information.
The gnome made a few gestures to Austin, pointing at a spot which was a little far from their current
position.
