Chapter 699 Things Get Complicated
''Come on, what are you waiting for? Teach them a lesson, ''
Austin sniggered inwardly.
He narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.
The rest followed his gaze and saw three mening their way. Each one of them was followed by at
least a hundred people.
The three people leading them stopped first in front of Austin and the rest of the people, and lined up
facing them.
Several hundred strong men joined the three leaders and stood behind them in line.
The one in the middle wore a red robe. His face didn''t hide the fact that he looked short-tempered.
The leader on the left was stout and short. His skin was tanned heavily, and his face was plump.
The man on the right was tall and thin. He looked somewhere in his forties and was in a bright green
robe.
Austin had sensed that these were three very tough opponents for all three had reached the premium
stage of Imperial Realm.
Dozens from their crew were at the preliminary stage or medium stage of Imperial Realm. While the
rest were Sky Realm cultivators. It was evident that the battle effectiveness of the whole team was
formidable.
The three in front were the Sect Leaders of Flying Fish Sect, Iron Palm Sect and Evergreen Sect
respectively. In fact, these were three inconspicuous sects in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom. But
this time they had rounded up all their elites.
Some big sects such as Ghost Puppet Sect and New Moon Sect had only sent several of their principal
disciples to collect information. The three small sects, having yed their cards well, stood a chance to
get the resources that were inside the Crystal Mine Mountain.
The three Sect Leaders had already noticed that two groups were facing out in front of the mine and
that a fight looked like brewing.
Hence, they had paused in their tracks. They observed the situation over the mine, and exchanged
nces.
"Oh! Why did you bring so many disciples here? Are you coveting that Crystal Mine Mountain?"
the Team Head of Iron Lady Mercenary Team began, her tone very obviously unfriendly.
Nick, the Sect Leader of Iron Palm Sect took a step forward andughed loudly.
"Here you are. I didn''t expect to meet the heads of Tiger Mercenary Team and Iron Lady Mercenary
Team. You have even arrived before us. Now that you know why we''re here, why bother asking?
Let''s cut to the chase. We''re here because the crystals inside that Crystal Mine Mountain mean a lot to
small sects like us. I guess you''re noting here to spend some leisure time in the desert, are you?"
The three Sect Leaders had already recognized the groups in front of them.
The truth was, Tiger Mercenary Team and Iron Lady Mercenary Team were weaker than Flying Fish
Sect, Iron Palm Sect and Evergreen Sect.
That was why the Sect Leader of Iron Palm Sect could afford to be so rude in his manners.
"Humph! That''s ridiculous. Even small sects want to get involved in this.
This Crystal Mine Mountain is the property of the New Moon Sect.
If you don''t want to get into trouble, you better leave as soon as you can. Otherwise, you''re going to
regret this for long."
Isis''s voice, filled with contempt and arrogance, travelled from the sedan behind the members of Iron
Lady Mercenary Team.
"This Crystal Mine Mountain will be our sect''s. Believe me, you don''t want to mess with our Ghost
Puppet Sect. Get out of here,"
Mark, the principal disciple of the Ghost Puppet Sect said icily.
Both Isis and Mark were from two of the five major sects of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom. That
was why they belittled these small sects. Even facing the three Sect Leaders, they still felt superior and
looked at them condescendingly.
Isis''s and Mark''s words left the three Sect Leaders surprised. They initially thought the two small teams
intended to take that mine. But it turned out one worked for New Moon Sect and the other had been
hired by Ghost Puppet Sect.
The three talked to each other using spiritual sense. After discussing for a while, it looked like none of
them intended to back off.
The stout man, the Sect Leader of Flying Fish Sectughed and said, "It turns out you''re from the New
Moon Sect and you from the Ghost Puppet Sect. It''s nice to see you, though.

Nobody''s told me this mine is a property of a sect. That means its not taken yet.
You can''t im this is yours without a shred of proof.
Is this how you big sects deal with things—so carelessly?"
"It looks like you''ve chosen to get yourself killed. I''m not going to stop you," Mark snorted.
The man''s remarks had annoyed Isis and Mark.
''Although they are from small sects, they brought all their elites here. There are dozens of Imperial
Realm cultivators among them. They are strong, '' the two concluded, observing the people behind the
three Sect Leaders.
Exasperated as they were, Isis and Mark didn''t make a move. They wanted to see how the three sects
nned to y it out.
A loudughter broke the silence.
"There are so many people here."
A loud male voice boomed.
A strong man in armor riding a brown elegant with wings rushed out of the woods, followed by a horde
of cultivators just as the echoes of the voice died down.
That brawny man joined the scene of interest in a moment. He released an overwhelming vital energy
force, radiating an enormous pressure to those near him.
A cute little mink with a pair of twinkling eyes perched on his left shoulder. The little creature whispered
in the man''s ear, as if it was talking to its master.
"I''m afraid this Crystal Mine Mountain won''t belong to the New Moon Sect or the Ghost Puppet Sect. It
will be our n''s," the hunky cultivator dered decisively.
He cupped his hands and introduced himself, "Nice to meet you all. I''m Thomas Song."
''The Song n is one of the most influential ones, and even they are here!''
This thought rang out in almost everyone''s minds.
''The four influential ns have existed for a long time, and each n has some excellent members with
their own special powers.
The four ns have been mysterious and their members seldom appear in public. But this Crystal Mine
Mountain has even drawn the attraction of the Song n.''
So far, countless sects and ns had already arrived at the Sunset Mountain for the mine.
''Things are going to get moreplicated. People from the five major sects and four ns are already
here. And there are no signs of stopping. More will arrive soon.
This is not bad for me. Once these people from big sects or ns get into fights and suffer a great loss,
I can sneak into the mine and get those treasures, '' Austin nned in his head.
He stood aside, observing the different groups present silently.
"You guys must havee here for this mine.
You have traveled a long way to be here and I appreciate that.
But I advise you to back off. It''s going to be the Veritable Demon Sect that will get this Crystal Mine
Mountain."
A bulky man who looked as heavy as a mountainnded on the ground at that moment.
The dark-skinned guy had wrinkles all over his face and hands. Each time he took a stride, the ground
trembled.
Dozens of people showed up and stood behind the big man.
''These people are from the Veritable Demon Sect, ''
Austin thought.
''I sneaked into the Veritable Demon Sect''s Holy Tomb. Now they are trying to hunt me down.
What a coincidence!''
But he didn''t change his n, nor did he intend to run away. Instead, he simply stepped back to get a
better view of the situation.
Austin sensed that the leader of the group of the Veritable Demon Sect couldn''t pose a threat to him
even though he possessed remarkable physical strength.
Austin felt he could handle him. He was confident enough that he felt there was still a chance for him.
