Chapter 701 The Scapegoat
"Walter, sir, it''s you who has forced me to say this.
N?velDrama.Org content.
As a matter of fact, I had not intended or nned to do anything against the Tiger Mercenary Team, but
now that things have turned out like this, I can''t leave matters like this anymore.
Dear Lord Caspar from the Sky Sect, you might not be aware of this, but the Tiger Mercenary Team is
a subsidiary force under the Ghost Puppet Sect. At this time, the Ghost Puppet Sect and the Veritable
Demon Sect have already reached an agreement in secret before they even came here.
The Ghost Puppet Sect and the Veritable Demon Sect are intent on cooperating and taking control of
this Crystal Mine Mountain. It is well known that there are not only arge number of superior vital
energy crystals in this crystal mine, but there''re also arge number of divine vital energy crystals, at
least several hundred divine vital energy crystals.
So they have long nned to seize control of this Crystal Mine Mountain. In order to achieve this goal,
they secretly carried out assassinations and killed many people. The disciples of the Sky Sect have
been secretly ambushed and intercepted by the Veritable Demon Sect.
The only reason why the Ghost Puppet Sect and Veritable Demon Sect have gathered here is that they
have already nned to kill all these beauties of the Iron Lady Mercenary Team.
Now in order to hide their vicious ns, I can''t believe that they would frame me for killing all of those
people. Sir, please help to clear up the truth for me."
Although Austin had invented many lies in his speech, Caspar believed most of what he said to be true.
Most importantly, Caspar simply couldn''t believe that the boy in front of him was really a body refiner
with such a powerful physical strength, and that he had been able to kill dozens of disciples of the Sky
Sect.
In addition, he carefully pondered what Austin had said and he believed that what he had said was
reasonable.
If there were really hundreds of divine vital energy crystals inside the Crystal Mine Mountain, it was
entirely possible that the Ghost Puppet Sect and the Veritable Demon Sect had joined forces to loot the
mine.
Isis and Mark, from the New Moon Sect and the Ghost Puppet Sect respectively, had been at
loggerheads until now. Hearing what Austin had said, Isis was suddenly drenched in a cold sweat from
fear.
If the Ghost Puppet Sect and the Veritable Demon Sect had really made a deal to attack the New Moon
Sect without warning, then the New Moon Sect would have no chance fighting back at all. If this was
the case, she feared that the New Moon Sect would soon be in a really dangerous situation with no
hope of escape.
"Humph! That is wishful thinking.
How dare they attempt to attack our New Moon Sect? If this is the case, I''m going to get back at them,
too. Today, I will give the Ghost Puppet Sect and the Veritable Demon Sect a lesson which they will
never forget."
Isis was sitting in the sedan chair behind the female members of the Iron Lady Mercenary Team. She
was so angry that she couldn''t resist the urge to kill them all.
She ced her hands on the harp and stroked the strings meaningfully. A few substantial notes rushed
up from the instrument and out of the sedan seat, appearing to hover over it.
''Ha, it seems that they are finally going to fight. Come on, fight hard. The more chaotic, the better!''
Austin thought gleefully.
Austin was very excited to see that the lies which he had invented had enjoyed such sess and was
bearing fruit.
"Nonsense!"
Hearing what Austin had said, Mark of the Ghost Puppet Sect and Morton of the Veritable Demon Sect
had be extremely angry. They both red murderously at Austin.
"Stop talking nonsense, brat! When did the Veritable Demon Sect unite with the Ghost Puppet Sect?"
Morton had a fiery temper. It exasperated him tremendously that he was being wronged by a boy in the
full view of the public.
"Well, boy, you''re going to die for your lies!"
Mark stormed angrily.
"Ha, I knew that you wouldn''t admit to the shameless things you have done.
I knew about these things because I used to be a member of the Tiger Mercenary Team. I came across
the news by ident while with them.
It''s Walter, the deputy Team Head of the Tiger Mercenary Team, who has always found me
troublesome because I had rubbed him the wrong way. So I have no choice but to tell the truth,"
Austin firmly insisted.
"That''s enough, you son of a bitch!"
Morton roared angrily. He seemed to have been irritated beyond his ability to control his temper by
Austin''s words. "You are so venomous. You have clearly learned to nder others since birth. I can''t
even imagine what you''ll be like when you get older.
Count your blessings, little boy! You should be extremely grateful for meeting me today, since I''ll
personally teach you right from wrong!
Son of a bitch! Go to hell and learn it the hard way!"
Morton shouted angrily, spit sprayed from his tightly clenched lips as his jaw locked in a fierce rage.
"I have exposed your plot, so of course you''ll want to kill me.
Then no one can prove who has killed those disciples of the Sky Sect,"
Austin retorted quickly.
Caspar and Isis were surprised by Austin''s argumentative attitude.
They wondered how Austin had developed the courage to argue with both the Veritable Demon Sect
and the Ghost Puppet Sect. He even had the guts to confront them directly!
Did he have some secret weapons which he could rely on to save him should they attack him?
So Caspar and Isis just watched quietly without meddling.
"You are as insignificant as an ant, boy. I can''t believe that you''d dare to make up lies and start
disputes here. If I don''t teach you a lesson today, you will surely think that you are great," Walter said
angrily, grinding his teeth as he spoke.
Walter hadn''t expected that the lies which Austin had fabricated could have brought them to this point,
and he could barely contain his annoyance. He couldn''t stand being baited any longer. He darted
ahead and went straight at Austin. He waved the Heaven''s Halberd formed by the condensation of his
vital energy and struck out at Austin''s head. His strong vital energy roared and the momentum of the
blow was extraordinary.
Although he knew that Austin''s physical strength was powerful, Austin''s cultivation base was lower than
his, while he had already reached the medium stage of Imperial Realm. Walter believed that even
though Austin could use his brute physical strength to defeat the cultivators at the Sky Realm, he would
not be strong enough to oppose him.
Therefore, he didn''t care much about Austin''s strength.
Austin thought quickly. Already, both sides had reached an impasse, yet no one wanted to take the
lead and take action.
Austin thought that he should show some strength by fighting Walter. Thus he could cause some chaos
to break the impasse.
Then, he would have a chance to escape this trouble. He might even get some benefit from it, too.
"Brat, I will kill you!"
Walter, armed with the Heaven''s Halberd formed by his vital energy, moved at lightning speed as he
attacked Austin violently.
"Humph, it''s not that easy to kill me."
In the face of Walter''s attack, Austin could not use his physical strength, or Caspar of the Sky Sect
might find out the truth immediately.
However, this did not mean that Austin had no other means to deal with Walter. He had many other
powerful attacking powers in his arsenal.
Austin patted the ck bag strapped at his waist, releasing five figures who exuded a strong vor of
corpse miasma. They immediately formed a shield wall in front of Austin.
They were the five corpse demons he had previously captured!
The five corpse demons all had the equivalent strength of the Imperial Realm, while Walter was also at
the medium stage of Imperial Realm. They were of equal strength.
As soon as the five corpse demons materialized, their dark corpse miasma spread everywhere,
shrouding arge area of space with their awful stink.
Austin wasted no time and immediately ordered the five corpse demons to besiege and attack Walter.
They sprang forwards and stretched out their five pairs of wicked ws to attack the Heaven''s Halberd
at once.
"Crack!"
The vital energy forming the Heaven''s Halberd wavered and cracked, as it was immediately destroyed!
