Chapter 1213 Trick
While impersonating Elder Abrd of the Magic Hand Sect, Austin gained a general understanding of
the situation of the Heavenly Emperor City.
Obviously, the defense of the Heavenly Emperor City was very tight, and there were many powerful
cultivators inside it.
But more than that, Austin got some news.
Apparently, the most heavily guarded ce in the whole Heavenly Emperor City was the prison.
There were at least six masters of the Primal Holy Realm who were guarding the prison of the
Heavenly Emperor City.
Moreover, there were many arrays arranged in the prison.
Since the prison had such a strong defensive force, it was rather difficult for a person to break into it to
save the prisoners inside.
Austin knew that the only way for him to rescue his friends was to outwit his enemies instead of using
violence against them.
After racking his brains for ideas, Austin finally came up with a way for him to save his friends!
It urred to him that among the six masters in the prison of the Heavenly Emperor City, one belonged
to the Magic Hand Sect.
Austin decided to pretend to be him in order to sneak into the prison.
The problem was that the five masters of the Primal Holy Realm who also stood guard in the prison
would not leave the prison under any normal circumstance.
Therefore, before anything else, he had to find a way to lure the master of the Magic Hand Sect out of
the prison.
Before he carried out his n, Austin first came back to Elder Abrd''s secret chamber.
"I hope my n will work,"
Austin said to himself.
Then, he rubbed the Space Ring.
And a small strange-looking tree appeared in front of him.
The small tree was three feet in height with branches and leaves that were all crystal clear. It was as if
they were polished from crystal itself. Because of that, the whole tree looked transparent, making it
quite pleasing to look at.
All sorts of mysterious aura emanated from the small tree.
Austin obtained the small tree when he was in the cave of the three-headed ghostly python in the small
alternate dimension.
Austin had no idea what the origin of the small tree actually was.
However, he was quite sure that it was a rare and precious natural treasure.
Treasures like that had an absolutely fatal attraction to cultivators.
With that in mind, Austin decided to use the small tree to lure out the master of the Magic Hand Sect
who was serving as a guardian of the prison of the Heavenly Emperor City.
Austin took out a Contact Jade Slip and imprinted the shape of the small tree onto it.
Afterwards, Austin walked out of Elder Abrd''s secret chamber.
"You give this Contact Jade Slip to Elder Tad."
Austin handed over the Contact Jade Slip to one of the disciples of the Magic Hand Sect and sent him
away.
Elder Abrd was the person in charge of that stronghold of the Magic Hand Sect. Thus, since the
disciple knew that the order came from Elder Abrd, he did not dare to snub it.
Just as Austin had predicted, the disciple immediately took the Contact Jade Slip and headed for the
prison of the Heavenly Emperor City.
Elder Tad, the person Austin told the disciple to give the Contact Jade Slip to, was none other than the
master of the Magic Hand Sect who was in charge of guarding the prison of the Heavenly Emperor
City.
Austin, on the other hand, left the Heavenly Emperor City and headed for the northeastern part of the
city.
About half an hourter, Austin reached a towering mountain range about 30 miles northeast of the
Heavenly Emperor City.
Upon getting there, Austin immediatelynded on one of the mountain range''s peaks.
Then, he silently waited for the arrival of Elder Tad.
Austin knew that Elder Tad woulde as fast as he could as soon as he received the Contact Jade
Slip.
"Austin, the queen seems to be showing signs of waking up from her cultivation."
In that moment, Austin received a voice message through his spiritual sense all of a sudden.
Austin immediately knew that the voice message was sent by the old priest of the evil shadow race.
Ovee with joy, Austin hastily sent himself into the City and appeared right beside the queen.
The old priest and dozens of masters of the evil shadow race were standing around the gray cocoon to
protect the queen from any possible danger.
Sure enough, the gray cocoon that was wrapped around the queen was shining, and the howling evil
energy around it was like a tsunami that was circling it crazily.
At the same time, a powerful coercive energy that could not be described using any word faintly
emanated from the gray cocoon.
Boom, boom, boom.
Then, a subtle but rhythmic noise started to be heard from the gray cocoon.
The moment Austin heard this rhythmic sound while he was standing beside the gray cocoon, he felt
his heart involuntarily beat to the rhythm of the sound.
At the same time, the blood inside his entire body suddenly started boiling.
Austin could not help but feel surprised.
The energying from the cocoon was so immensely powerful!
In that moment, Austin was dumbstruck with amazement.
Out of deep fear, he hurriedly put a safe distance between himself and the gray cocoon.
"This time, when the queen emerges from her cocoon, she will have almost regained her full strength,"
the old priest said to Austin with an expectant look on his face.
Upon hearing what the old priest said, Austin''s face was also full of anticipation.
"By the way, will you be facing trouble when you enter the Heavenly Emperor City to save your two
friends?
If you need any help, do not hesitate to ask me for assistance,"
the old priest said to Austin all of a sudden.
Without Austin''s help, the members of the evil shadow race would have still been trapped in the small
alternate dimension, with no knowledge of when they could be delivered from oppression and see the
light of day once more.
Therefore, the priest felt quite indebted to Austin.
"About that thing... I will not bother you with it."
Austin hesitated slightly.
Austin could feel that the old priest of the evil shadow race did have a very strong power, and that his
cultivation base was at least at the Primal Holy Realm level.
However, he looked rather old and frail, so Austin felt extremely awkward to let him offer help.
"Ha-ha, although I am a little old, I am just as good as you young people if I use my force to its full
potential and do my best."
Of course, the priest understood Austin''s concern.
"Ha-ha, do not take what I said seriously. I didn''t mean it,"
Austin hurriedly exined to the old priest.
Since the old priest had already insisted, Austin had no choice but to y along.
What''s more, with the help of one more master who was in the Primal Holy Realm, the chances of
sessfully rescuing Evan and Herbert would naturally be even greater.
With that, Austin simply exined what the current situation was to the old priest.
"Well, let''s get out of here now and wait for Elder Tad to arrive."
After listening to what Austin had to say, the priest immediately knew that Austin was currently at a
major disadvantage.
This was especially because there were so many masters in the Heavenly Emperor City that he had to
face on his own.
In an instant, Austin and the priest were transported out of the City, and just a few secondster, they

found themselves standing on the mountain peak while waiting for Elder Tad''s arrival.
They did not have to wait long, for just a momentter, they caught a glimpse of Elder Tad walking
towards the two of them.
Far away in the sky, a figure came galloping at a speed so fast that he reached the mountain peak
where Austin was standing in mere seconds.
"Elder Abrd, where is that ancient cave?
Please take me there quickly. The Dragon Crystal Tree is a very precious treasure. If others learn about
it being here, it will definitely incite some crazy robbery incidents,"
the old man in a green robe urged Austin anxiously as hended right in front of him.
The old man in a green robe was actually Elder Tad, a master whose cultivation base was in the Primal
Holy Realm.
He was also one of the five masters of the Primal Holy Realm who were the guardians of the prison of
the Heavenly Emperor City.
''The Dragon Crystal Tree?'' Austin thought to himself.
Austin then realized that the small tree he had was actually called the Dragon Crystal Tree.
Moments ago, Austin, while disguised as Elder Abrd, sent a message to Elder Tad through the
Contact Jade Slip, saying that he had found an ancient cave near the Heavenly Emperor City.
There were many treasures in the ancient cave, and one of which was the small tree.
However, since there was a very powerful array in the cave that he could not break by himself, he had
to ask Elder Tad for help.
After receiving Austin''s Contact Jade Slip, Elder Tad immediately recognized the small tree as the
legendary Dragon Crystal Tree and hurriedly rushed to the scene as fast as he could.
"What can this Dragon Crystal Tree do?"
Austin asked with curiosity.
"Let''s talk about thatter. For now, take me to the ancient cave as soon as possible so that we can
break the array ban of that cave and get the Dragon Crystal Tree. This is the most important thing we
need to aplish right now,"
Elder Tad urged Austin with a mixture of both excitement and anxiety. He could not wait to get his
hands on the Dragon Crystal Tree.
"Ha-ha, you don''t need to be in such a hurry.
I''d like to hear more about the Dragon Crystal Tree first,"
Austin said with a smile.
All of a sudden, Elder Tad fell silent as he got the feeling that something was going wrong, "Elder
Abrd, what exactly do you mean?
Did youe here to cheat me?"
Elder Tad shouted at Austin upon noticing the odd expression on his face. Since his cultivation base
was already at the Primal Holy Realm, his mind was quite sharp, and his spiritual sense was also
naturally very strong, therefore, he was quite condescending of the man in front of him.
Austin immediately knew that Elder Tad was getting suspicious of him, so he immediately used his
mind power to practice the Spiritual Sense Incinerating Skill.
Then, all of a sudden, a zing white me lit up in Elder Tad''s soul sea.
"Abrd, what on earth are you doing right now?"
Elder Tad''s face became purple with anger, as he shouted at Austin in a harsh voice.
