Chapter 696 Reunion With An Old Friend
Thest encounter had warned Austin of the great fighting skills of the Magic Harp yer who sat
inside the small sedan. Even martial arts masters of the Imperial Realm had been unable to fight back
while being attacked by her.
She could kill people with her harp''s sound, while her hands wouldn''t be stained with her enemy''s
blood at all, which was impressive.
However, at this moment, a familiar female voice sounded. "Austin! d to see you again!"
"Oh?"
Austin turned around, trying to figure out who was calling him.
From among the crowd of female cultivators stepped out a delicate and gentle young woman. The
excitement on her pretty face was obvious in her high blush.
The young woman, only in her mid-20s, was charming. Although not tall, she boasted a pair of slim
legs and her body was in a golden ratio.
Her slim waist had drawn lots of attention from men before.
Tessa! It was Tessa calling to him in an excited voice.
Tessa had joined the Cyan Sect which was located in the Elite Holy Kingdom.
Tessa greeted Austin warmly while looking back at the coquettish young woman.
"Lady Sophie, I know this young man. I promise that he won''t do anything to hurt the Iron Lady
Mercenary Team''s interests," she pledged sincerely.
Suddenly, an extremely cold but seductive voice spoke up from the sedan.
"Bitch, you''re not in the position to speak here.
Now move! How dare you!
Many powers are gathering around the crystal hill. I''m afraid that a fierce battle''s about to break out.
But you... Look at what you have just done! Asking us to go easy with this bastard? You''re such an
ungrateful whore!"
The voice was filled with fury and resentment.
"No, I''m not. Lady of the New Moon Sect, please allow me to exin," Tessa said hurriedly.
Clearly she was trying to defend herself as well as Austin.
She knew that Austin had a quick temper. Worse, thedy of the New Moon Sect, sitting inside the
sedan, wasn''t a nicedy who would tolerate being provoked. If she and Austin misunderstood each
other, she was afraid that they might begin fighting with each other soon.
The Magic Harp yer had a remarkable fighting strength. If Tessa did nothing and allowed them to
fight, Austin might get hurt. Therefore, being anxious and worried, she had momentarily disrespected
her leader, and tried to exin Austin''s situation to her.
The fact was that, as an insignificant member of the Iron Lady Mercenary Team, Tessa was at the
bottom of the hierarchy.
"Crack!"

Before Tessa had finished speaking, the strings of the harp chimed. A musical note, the size of a palm,
flew away from the sedan and hit Tessa on her left cheek. Instantly, a big and red mark appeared on
her pale-skinned face.
She spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body flew through the air before hitting the ground with a dull
thud.
"Tessa!"
Austin moved quickly to help her up.
"You two will never know how to behave yourself!
Such a promiscuous couple!" the cold voice of the Harp yershed out.
Austin''s concerned behavior had angered the Magic Harp yer even further. A chilling and yet
intangible killing intent shot out from the sedan, targeting Austin and Tessa.
"I told you to leave but you chose to stay.
Now, it''s tooter for you to leave. I''m afraid you''ll have to stay here forever," said the Magic Harp
yer.
Clearly, she said those words to threaten Austin.
Taking a quick look at Tessa''s swollen cheek, Austin''s eyes shed with anger. He clenched his fists
until his knuckles cracked. Instead of retreating or running for his life, he stepped forwards, smiling
coldly.
"The New Moon Sect doesn''t own this barren ce. How dare you tell me what I can and can''t do
here?
Don''t you even think for a moment that I won''t kill a woman. As far as I''m concerned, there are only two
types of people in this world. Those alive, and those dead.
Threatening me? You seem to have a death wish, and I''ll help you meet your wish," said Austin sternly.
He released some of his physical strength, and moved forwards, while clenching his two fists firmly.
Under the pressure of his tremendous physical strength, even the space through which he moved
seemed to vibrate.
"You''re ying with fire.
Nobody has ever dared to behave rudely to our Lady Isis!"
the women from the Iron Lady Mercenary Team roared with anger.
The leader of the Iron Lady Mercenary Team, who had been the first to stand up and scold Austin,
"Ha-ha... I thought you had gotten somebody powerful to watch your back. Clearly, I was wrong. You''re
nothing but a body-refining warrior. Even the Veritable Demon Sect doesn''t dare act rudely to my New
Moon Sect, let alone a twat like you."
The leader of the Iron Lady Mercenary Team knew Austin wasn''t a disciple of the Veritable Demon
Sect, based on his humble appearance and ordinary clothing.
A conflict might break out at any moment and tensions ran high.
The Magic Harp yer still sat inside the sedan quietly and said nothing.
Even so, Austin was smart enough to realize that if he made one wrong move, some bloodcurdling
musical notes with a powerful killing intent would surely attack him immediately.
At that moment, something else drew everyone''s attention. All of them looked back in surprise.
Footsteps were hearding from the jungle.
Dozens of warriors rushed out of the jungle and quickly ascended the Crystal Mine Mountain.
However, upon seeing the women from the Iron Lady Mercenary Team, the neers stopped and
looked at each other, horrified.
Austin knew them, since they were the Tiger Mercenary Team.
They were led by Walter and three other warriors of the Imperial Realm.
"Fuck! It''s the Iron Lady Mercenary Team."
"That horrifying Magic Harp yer must be with them!" some of the cultivators muttered fearfully.
... ...
Upon noticing the presence of the Iron Lady Mercenary Team, those men, brave and bold as they
were, didn''t dare to step forward.
The memories of theirst encounter with the Magic Harp yer still lingered painfully in their injuries
and bruised egos. They had beenpletely routed then.
"Losers, what are you doing here?
Do you need another lesson from me?"
The leader of the Iron Lady Mercenary Team shifted her attention from Austin to the cultivators from the
Tiger Mercenary Team.
The best warrior of the Tiger Mercenary Team only had the cultivation base of the medium stage of
Imperial Realm, while the leader of the Iron Lady Mercenary Team had already entered the premium
stage of Imperial Realm. Besides, her fighting skills were much more advanced than her peers.
She was confident in herself and her ability to deal with ten or even more cultivators of the medium-
stage Imperial Realm.
Besides, the Magic Harp yer, sitting inside the sedan right now, was capable of easily whipping the
Tiger Mercenary Team and sending them running like before.
"It''s a bold move for you to steal resources from the Crystal Mine Mountain. Take note, I''ll warn you
only once that those resources are now the property of the New Moon Sect. You have three minutes to
leave. Otherwise, you''ll be buried here,"
The leader of the Iron Lady Mercenary Team said in a brazenly arrogant and condescending manner.
Then, the sound of music was heard. ...
As if to verify the truth of the leader''s words, high and low sounds came from inside the sedan.
Upon hearing the harp''s sound, the cultivators of the Tiger Mercenary Team turned visibly pale. Under
the great pressure of the sound, their legs began trembling. None of them dared make a sound.
Some of the cultivators with a weaker heart had already backed up a few steps. As soon as the
situation got out of control, they would surely run like hell.
However, Austin took Tessa''s hand in his and stood idly by. The conflict between these two teams was
none of his business.
