Chapter 732 A Mysterious Perceptual Force
After a while, another team of City Guardians also came to the street. Ten of the City Guardians, who
were sent out to capture Austin and his fellows, gathered together. They surveyed the ce and found
that everyone was in the same situation.
All the way down the alley, no one encountered any soul-consuming fog or even seen any souls,
including those who served as informants. All were bizarrely missing!
It was so weird. It had never happened in this city!
"This is not a trivial matter. We have to send someone back to report to the three castens."
One of the City Guardians, who was the leader of that small team, immediately made a decision.
Every City Guardian knew that there were three castens, and an old casten called Jim was above
them–– the real master of this city. He had been severely injured and needed a lot of souls for healing.
The souls in the soul-consuming fog were the nourishment pool for Jim''s healing. They would be used
to heal him and alleviate his vital energy.
Hence, the importance of the soul-consuming fog was self-evident.
At the same time, among the martial arts practiced by the three castens, many powerful arcane

spells required the use of such souls as training resources.
The City Guardians, as the confidants of the three castens, were taught some martial arts skills that
highly required the usage of souls for cultivation.
So, the captivated souls in the soul-consuming fog were very precious resources in this City.
Now that the soul-consuming fog had been destroyed, and the souls had disappeared, the city would
be in a total ruckus.
The City Guardians couldn''t imagine how angry the three castens would get when they heard the
news.
It was obviously an emergency. No one dared to ignore the problem and instead tried to resolve it.
After a brief discussion, the three City Guardians with the fastest bodily movement skill ran back to the
center of the castle at lightning speed. They reported the situation to the three castens.
Soul messengers were typically used to convey messages, but since they couldn''t use one, they could
only count on themselves.
"Does this matter have anything to do with the man and three women we are looking for?"
one of the remaining seven City Guardians suddenly spected.
"Not very likely. Although the physical strengths of that man and the three women were quite strong, I
heard that the people of the Veritable Demon Sect were only good at dealing with the corporeal body.
Even a master whose cultivation base is at Master Realm might not be able to destroy the soul-
consuming fog.
How could those young brats have such strong spiritual sense?"
one of the guardians immediately questioned.
"Yeah, you''re right. Alright, let''s forget it, and hurry up in finding that man and the three women.
For some reason, I think there''s more to them than we know."
The seven City Guardians immediately spread in various directions and continued the search.
The City Guardians were very familiar with theyout of these streets. If they would utilize their own
spiritual senses, they could immediately locate Austin.
In the street, about 4, 000 meters away from the seven City Guardians, Austin sat on his knees. An
invisible spiritual sense chain––bigger than an adult''s arm––exuded a strong spiritual sense pressure,
roaring back and forth in the street. It chased the souls who tried to escape, filling the whole street with
cries of agony, screams of misery, and pleas.
It painted a picture of hell, where Austin was Yama––the king of the underground who killed and
captured the souls.
Tessa and the purple-d girl stood next to an alley, in what looked simr to the entrance of an inn.
They were watching what was happening in the street.
The three women had gotten used to that kind of scene.
The purple-d girl and the maid were watching with utmost interest, pointing at what was happening
in front of them. They could not help pping their hands when they saw an astonishing scenario.
Tessa now knew that the maid called the purple-d girl Dahlia, while thetter referred to her maid as
Faye.
While watching, the three had the opportunity to know each other and got along quite well.
The purple-d girl was a person of big character, and she didn''t care much about proper manners.
Moreover, she had never felt superior because of her noble position in the Veritable Demon Sect.
To put it bluntly, the girl only cared about whether she could get along with someone when making
friends. She did not pay attention to what kind of status others had and the like.
After being acquainted with Tessa for the past few days, she liked the feeling of Tessa''s big sister vibe
and got along very well with her.
Meanwhile, Austin was very much immersed in extracting and purifying the souls.
While in the process, Austin suddenly frowned. He perceived, through his spiritual sense, the City
Guardians who were about 4, 000 meters away.
"These people keeping back!" he shouted in slight annoyance.
However, Austin had not yet nned to pay attention to them. Right now, he was most concerned
about the cultivation of his own spiritual sense to reach the pinnacle of Liquefaction!
It was his top priority to strengthen his spiritual sense.
Once he achieved Spiritual Sense Liquefaction––reaching or even surpassing the spiritual sense of
most masters with cultivation base in Astral Realm––his own strength would undoubtedly take another
big leap!
At present, the density of the spiritual sense in Austin''s Soul Sea was getting bigger and bigger and
more concentrated.
There were countless tiny drops of water mist formed by the spiritual sense concentration suspended in
the Soul Sea. The mist permeated and spread boundlessly, making the volume of the Soul Sea also
quite expanded.
The signs of Liquefaction were gradually showing itself.
There were some dense water drops in the mist of the spiritual sense!
Iparableplexws seemed to be engraved on those water drops of spiritual sense. Such
invisiblews were emitting light like shining jewels! A breath of nature dispersed from the shining light!
It seemed that Austin had made some progress in his soul perception, observation power, and
understanding of thews of the world.
He had not only enhanced his spiritual sense, but also his entire soul and way of thinking to a new
level.
There also seemed to be some breakthroughs in his vital energy, which had remained constant in his
body.
It was amazing!
Austin hade to some insights.
It turned out that with the rapid progress of a warrior''s spiritual sense, other aspects of the body would
be developed too.
The body as a whole entity wasposed of the physical quality, the cultivation base of vital energy,
and the strength of spiritual sense––with all three mutually influencing one another.
Austin now had about 400, 000 pounds of physical strength. His body was iparably stronger than
his vital energy.
Now, his spiritual sense was advancing by leaps and bounds. It was about to reach the level of the
Astral Realm.
As soon as every aspect of his martial arts cultivation started to affect one other, his physical quality,
potential, and talent were also highly elevated. A young genius was born!
After sensing that the City Guardians were following him, Austin quickly finished extracting and
purifying all the remaining souls. Then with the three women he headed for another area of the city,
where there were several groups of the soul-consuming fogs.
... ... ...
At the heart of the city, a magnificent pce stood.
In it there was a secret underground room.
A very old man, wrinkled like old bark and shrouded in the sense of death, sat inside.
He was meditating like an old monk––motionless and without any sense of breathing.
''Huh?'' he thought when he sensed something.
Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes, and two terrible rays of light burst out.
An expression of anger and surprise registered on his wrinkled face.
"Someone is destroying my soul-consuming fogs!
He is extracting and purifying the souls that I have stored for many years!"
The old man''s secret empty room was only a few square feetrge.
The ground in front of the old man was iid with a big round blue stone. The ball-like stone, made of
unknown material, exuded a radiant blue light.
The old man sent out a wisp of spiritual sense and wrapped the blue stone ball. Immediately, the sight
of the street where Austin was located projected in the old man''s perception.
"A kid! Ad who is less than 20 years old!
How is this possible?" the old man suddenly eximed.
He was not expecting someone very young.
The kid had a strong physical quality for such a young age!
''He can destroy my soul-consuming fogs, extract, and purify those souls. His spiritual sense must be
powerful. Let me feel it!''
The old man''s spiritual sense, immersed in the blue stone ball, continuously showed him everything
about Austin.
At the same time, Austin, who was still extracting and purifying the souls, suddenly became alert.
A seemingly ubiquitous mysterious perceptual force suddenly came from all directions and shot, all of a
sudden, on Austin''s body.
The strange perceptual force was like a spiritual sense, but quite different and unique. It emerged from
all directions––above the street, from the buildings on both sides of the street, and even from the
underground.
It seemed that all objects that existed in the area could possibly be a carrier of that mysterious
perceptual force.
Austin was surprised and immediately stopped extracting the souls. The massive spiritual sense in the
Soul Sea quickly formed a defensive cover, firmly protecting his Soul Sea and rejecting the perceptual
force.
The perceptual force was trying to prate his Soul Sea.
Right away, Austin felt that the force was immensely strong.
