Chapter 709 The Superior Vital Energy Crystal Mine
After Austin had destroyed the Cyan Sect''s location in the Full Moon City, all members of the Cyan
Sect had been out searching for Austin throughout the Elite Holy Kingdom using all of the means at
their disposal.
But Austin had already returned the way which he hade and he arrived at the Heavenly Dragon
Holy Kingdom unscathed. Since he was no longer in the Elite Holy Kingdom, it was unsurprising that
nobody from the Cyan Sect could find him.
And thus the Cyan Sect was ced in a truly embarrassing position. The elders lost their tempers and
could not wait to find out how Austin could have sessfully escaped without leaving a trace.
Soon they traced it back to Tessa and they discovered that Tessa was like an elder sister to Austin. So
it was likely Tessa who had helped Austin.
Although Tessa exined to the elders again and again that she had only met Austin once and knew
nothing about Austin, the elders of the Cyan Sect seemed not to believe what she had said and
demanded that she find Austin in a short time and bring him back to them. If she could not finish this
task, she would be torturing to death.
Luckily, with the secret help of a steward, Tessa was able to run away and escape from the Cyan Sect
and came to the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom. After suffering a lot, she had finally found a chance
to join the Iron Lady Mercenary Team.
But to her surprise, she met up with Austin again on the Sunset Mountain. What a coincidence!
On hearing Tessa rte what had happened, Austin finally knew how Tessa had be a member of
the Iron Lady Mercenary Team.
Austin felt sorry for Tessa, because it was he that got her in trouble. Because of him she was forced to
leave her hometown and now lived a rootless life.
About fifteen minutester, Austin and Tessa had finally reached the Crystal Mine Mountain.
It was a small mountain, round and delicate, shaded by trees. The mountain was so round that it
looked like a bowl had been ced upside-down on the ground. Dense spiritual energy gathered in the
form of clouds of purple mist, covering the sky above the whole peak.
Climbing to the top of the mountain, both Austin and Tessa felt a suddenly soothing and calming fresh
breath enter their lungs.
"If there is superior vital energy crystal inside the mountain, then the ce with the densest purple mist
would be where the divine vital energy crystal is hidden. So we''d better head for the densest purple
mist.
Let''s go!
I''ll take you there!"
Austin unleashed his spiritual sense and found that the Sky Sect, the Song n and its three leaders
were following some distance behind him.
And further out there were more people hurriedly converging on the location of the peak. From the swift
and fierce movement of several of these people, Austin realized that they were quite powerful. It would
be hard for him to beat them.
So in this case, the most important thing was to seize the time to get ahead of those men.
He had to locate and mine the divine vital energy crystal as far as possible before those people arrived.
Once those powerful men came here, he would have to flee at once.
So without hesitation, Austin grasped Tessa''s right hand. With his toes barely touching the ground,
Austin headed for the peak where the densest purple mist was focused, with Tessa in tow, like a sh
of lightning.
Suddenly Tessa felt like she was a bird, flying in the sky. She had never before moved so fast that all
her weight was lifted from her limbs.
Tessa waspletely stunned by what Austin had just done. She said to herself, ''I can''t see into
Austin''s soul, but he is so talented in many aspects, especially in the bodily movement skill. His
movement is so rapid that even those cultivators with the Imperial Realm cultivation base can''t reach
such a speed. Not to mention thosemon cultivators of the Sky Realm.''
At the same time, Tessa had turned a fiery shade of scarlet. She was in her mid-20s, but she had never
been treated like this before, with her hand held firmly by a man.
So when Austin impertinently took her hand without her permission, she was quite surprised and
enticed.

But deep in her heart, Tessa didn''t care to me Austin. Actually she felt a bit joyful instead of being
angry, because this was the first time that her hand was being held by a man. She felt light headed, but
not from the speed at which they traveled.
While Tessa was lost in this train of thoughts, Austin paid no attention to what she was thinking. He was
focused on the task ahead of them. In the blink of an eye, he and Tessanded on an open hillside of
the mountain.
The purple mist was the densest at the slope above them. Obviously it was the ce where the
spiritual energy was gathered the most.
"The superior vital energy crystal must be somewhere under the slope," he said.
Austin stamped the ground with his foot.
"Austin, are we going to dig into the ground of the slope?
That will take us much energy and time," Tessa said while wrinkling her nose.
She did not relish the thought of getting her hands dirty.
"Tessa, take a few steps backward, will you?" Austin said to Tessa, looking intently at the ground.
On hearing what Austin had said, Tessa hurried toply.
Then Austin stretched out his hand and an object appeared, floating above his palm.
"The Purple Vital Stone!" Tessa called out in surprise.
Shocked by what she saw, Tessa covered her mouth gently with her hand.
Tessa knew that the Purple Vital Stone had belonged to Susan, the elder who was stationed in the Full
Moon City on behalf of the Cyan Sect. Tessa had not expected that Susan''s magic weapon would be in
the hands of Austin, because Susan had cherished it a lot.
The moment Austin patted his waist with his hand, the ancient evil ape appeared in a sh.
Austin extracted his vital energy and funneled it into the Purple Vital Stone in his palm. All of a sudden,
the Purple Vital Stone grew dramatically bigger and bigger and then turned into a mountain which was
over 30 meters high and over 10 meters wide, floating in the sky.
Austin issued an order to the ancient evil ape. Then the beast looked up and howled, striking its two
fists on its breast.
Austin stretched his hands, unleashing the power of 400, 000 pounds from his body.
"Smash!"
At the same time, the Purple Vital Stone plummeted from the air. Austin threw a full punch and the
ancient evil ape unleashed its power with its millstone-shaped fists. All of them aimed at the same
target simultaneously.
These three horrible forces; from the Purple Vital Stone, Austin''s fists, and the ancient evil ape''s fists
jointly exploded on the same ground.
A mighty roar spread out in all directions.
The whole peak shook so sharply that Tessa fell down and hugged the ground, fearing for her life. It felt
like a magnitude 10 earthquake!
With arge rumbling sound, the ground of the slope copsed and formed a hole as big as a plot of
several acres. Around the hole were cracks, a few meters wide, running off in all directions like ss
fracturing.
Discovering the mess on the ground, Tessa was stunned and stood by mutely.
"Tessa, you''d better go up and find a shelter for yourself. I''ll go and check what is going on down
there," Austin said to Tessa.
In this case, it was best not to bring Tessa down to the hole in the ground with him, because nobody
knew exactly what the condition of the hole in the ground was. In case of any danger, he would have to
pay more attention to keeping Tessa safe, which would make the situation worse.
Tessa clearly understood why Austin had said so, so she quickly obeyed and drifted higher where she
was out of harm''s way.
Austin jumped into the hole in the ground, a small speck falling into the abyss.
The hole was over ten meters deep, so it took Austin quite a while tond at the bottom of the hole,
where he found...
"Superior vital energy crystals!"
