Chapter 1462 It''s Him
Austin turned his head and saw Belle. "Surprised to see you, Belle. Aren''t you supposed to be in the
ck-wind Beast World? When did you get out?"
he asked in surprise.
"The ck-wind Beast World was locked down by the people of the three Holy Lands and the three
honored ns. As a rule, martial artists under the Divine Bridge Realm are only allowed to get out but
we''re prevented from going back in.
The ce was absolutely exclusive now. Only the masters of the Minor-perfection Realm and those
who have a higher level of powers may set foot in that world.
People like me, whom they considered as faint of heart, has all been driven out,"
Belle said as she sighed in resentment.
"How could they be so arrogant
to forbid you to enter the ck-wind Beast World!"
Austin replied, after hearing Belle''s words. He shook his head in annoyance and was thinking of
something smart to say when Belle started to exin.
"I guess, that''s how it works!" Belle said as she shrugged her shoulders. "The world belongs only to the
strong, and they are the masters, and they give the rules. Who would dare say no to them?"
Belle replied bitterly. Her shoulder slumped from the weight of her pain.
Austin could not argue with her. She was right. Anywhere they went, strength ruled. The one who had
the most strength had the final say. Only the strong were allowed to govern. The weak were considered
dust in the wind. They meant nothing to anyone. They had no status or even the right to speak.
"Forget it. How about youing back to the Xiao n with me?
From what I know, the Liu n has sent out some masters to search for you.
Rodolfo was a strong master of the Divine Bridge Realm. He must have kept your appearance and the
aura of your spiritual soul in his mind when you demolished his spiritual soul mark.
If that is the case, it means they could still sense you ording to the aura of your spiritual soul! You''re
in great danger. The master of the Divine Bridge Realm will continue to trail you. They will not stop until
they have captured you again.
As long as you are still within the scope of the Smnia Kingdom, your life is at stake," Belle ranted.
"And I''ve already told my dad about this. He promised to keep you safe,"
Belle told him thest sentence with her spiritual sense. She was trying to be careful.
She knew if she spoke it out, her words might reach the ears of the Liu n''s masters.
Rodolfo was the supreme grand marshal of the Smnia Kingdom. He owned a great deal of power
and had eyes and ears everywhere. She looked around, suddenly worried that somebody was
watching her and Austin.
"I agree with her. Now you''re in great danger, Austin.
You''d better go with her."
The me Emperor''s voice rang in Austin''s Soul Sea.
"That is so nice of you, Belle. Thank you. Yes, I will go with you."
Austin nodded after thinking about it. Everything Belle said was true. He smiled bitterly. He had no idea
how he would get a rise out of a master of the Divine Bridge Realm in the Divine Continent.
"Please follow me,"
Belle said quietly, as she led the way forward. She started to move forward. Her eyes searched for any
danger lurking in their surroundings.
Austin and Caroline walked behind her. They were too tried to stay alert. But they could not let their
guards down knowing they were being hunted by a powerful master.
"Oh, isn''t this Belle, the eldest daughter of the Xiao n?
I have not seen you for a long time. It''s good to see you here," said a young man in a white gown as he
signaled a group of people to clear the way for them. The young man yed around with his fan as he
talked to her in a sarcastic tone, "Everyone is saying you are intelligent and have a natural gift in
martial arts.
But, um, it looks like you have never developed your gift. One year has passed sincest time we met,
and you''re still at the preliminary stage of Holy Realm."
The man was thin with a ghastly face. He had gray hair and dull eyes. He felt high and mighty over
Belle because he was at the medium stage of Holy Realm. He manifested an overbearing aura. His
eyes twinkled as he stared maliciously towards Belle.
"Huh! It''s you, Ladd!
I have nothing to say to you. Go away!" Belle replied angrily.
The moment Belle saw the man, her face turned red with rage and her eyes became icy cold.
She was beyond belief for Ladd''s rapid progress. Just a year ago, they were both at the preliminary
stage of Holy Realm. It was unthinkable that he could break through to the medium stage of Holy
Realm within such a short period.
"You are still a bad-tempered girl. I advise you to control your temper, or no one would marry you. You
do not want to grow old alone, right?"
Laddughed so hard at his own words. He was so arrogant and provoked Be on purpose.
"Who is he?"
Austin asked Belle by using his spiritual sense, wondering why the guy was so stuck up and why he
was being mean to Belle.
After all, Belle was the daughter of the prime minister of the Smnia Kingdom. But the man dared to
speak to her in such a demeaning way. He belittled Belle''s power. Austin guessed that he must have a
majestic background.
"His name is Ladd. Rodolfo''s first grandson. The man you killed earlier was his younger brother,"
Belle replied to Austin in spiritual sense.
Austin now understood why the man was so egotistic. He came from a powerful lineage.
"Let''s go," Belle said to Austin and Caroline.
She ignored Ladd, and was ready to leave.
"Wait up!" Ladd quickly moved in front of her and prevented her from leaving. "My younger brother,
Rogan, had been killed in the ck-wind Beast World. Does his death have anything to do with your
n?"
His voice grew cold, and his eyes were fixed on Belle.
"We have nothing to do with that. Stop being foolish.
And you better get out of my way, unless you want to fight with me in the street."
Belle warned Ladd in a stern voice.
Ladd did not want to cause any trouble in public. ''Now is not the ce and time to fight with her, '' he
thought. With this, he stepped aside to make way for her and stretched his right arm to signal them to
leave.
The Liu n and the Xiao n had a long history of conflict. Although they hated each other and had
regarded each other as mortal enemies for hundreds of generations, both families served as officials
for the same court. This mandated them to be civil with each other especially if out in public.
Ladd was not allowed to attack Belle in the street. It would have a negative impact on his image and his
n.
As she saw Ladd stepped aside, Belle quickly gestured towards Austin and Caroline, "Let''s get out of
here."
They walked off as Ladd followed them with his vicious eyes.
"Bitch! Do you take me as a fool? I learned my brother came to the ck-wind Beast World because of
you. His death must have something to do with you.
I will wait for the right time. Soon, I will find out what really happened to my brother.
The Martial Arts Tournament will be held in ten days. We will definitely meet again. I will not be as
forgiving as I am right now.
Your Xiao n won''t get a single spot in this year''s Martial Arts Tournament,"
Ladd shouted towards her back.
"I will be ready for you!"
Belle suddenly stopped and faced Ladd. Her face showed courage and determination.
After making sure that Ladd had nothing more to say to her, Belle nodded her head towards Austin and
Caroline. They all continued to move forward and gradually disappeared at the end of the street.
"That guy who was behind Belle. He looked familiar," an attendant that stood next to Ladd blurted out.
He then pulled out a jade slip, and a stream of light began to flow out as he activated the device.
The light floated into the air and started to form a shape. It was a figure of what seemed to be a man. It
was Austin.
"Yes! That''s him!
Master Ladd, I remember! That guy murdered your brother. He was the one who killed Master Rogan!"
The attendant became hysterical and pointed his finger to the formed figure that was still floating in the
air.
Hearing this, Ladd''s face darkened at once. He was so angry that his eyes zed with fury.
"Hurry! Go after them!"
Determined, Ladd moved and chased after Austin and hispanions.
He followed their tracks and soon he caught up with Austin and the two girls.
By the moment he caught up with them, he saw them walking into a luxurious mansion being led by
Belle.
Ladd stopped and gestured his men to stop as well.
"Master Ladd, why are we stopping?"

an attendant asked.
"Samuel is in there. Even if we follow them we still can''t do anything to them. He will definitely
intervene.
The Xiao n will not escape responsibility for my brother''s death. But it will have to wait for now.
Let''s go. I will go back and tell my grandfather about this. He will definitely avenge my brother''s death,"
Ladd said, as he stared at the mansion for thest time. He clenched his fist as he mastered enough
strength not to storm off and attack Austin inside Samuel''s house.
