Chapter 1598 Meeting Marcus Again
The disciples sent by the Ji Family guarded all the passageways. They also set up checkpoints in all
cities of Dawning Kingdom. They were really determined to track down Peacock Princess and take her
alive.
Aside from this, the Ji Family also offered a generous reward to the public. Anyone who could catch
Peacock Princess would be rewarded handsomely.
Other than the members of the beast race who were involved with Peacock Princess, many people
noticed that the Ji Family was also looking for a young man.
They saw pictures of him posted everywhere around Dawning Kingdom.
People were actually wondering what the young man could have been done to the Ji Family to get
himself into such grave trouble.
The young man in the picture was none other than Austin.
Austin helped Peacock Princess to sessfully flee from the Dawning Mountains so the people of the
Ji Family hated him.
As he was standing on the street, Austin was staring at one of his pictures hanging on the wall.
A bitter smile appeared on his face.
''The Ji Family is one of the three prominent families in the East Maind. Now that I''ve messed up with
them, I''m definitely in trouble, '' Austin mused.
''The disciples I met in the Dawning Mountains were just a small portion of the Ji Family. I''m sure they
still have a lot of more powerful disciples.''
Austin couldn''t help but feel worried. As one of the three prominent families in the East Maind, the Ji
Family was far more influential than he could imagine.
Therefore, it was absolutely a nightmare to make this family an enemy.
Suddenly, Austin remembered Marcus. When he heard that Marcus defeated Peacock Princess, he
couldn''t help butugh.
''This must be Marcus'' and that elder''s doing. They asked their men to keep Marcus''s failure a secret.
Instead, they spread the news that he defeated Peacock Princess and hurt her badly, '' surmised Austin
inwardly.
A few momentster, Austin spotted a lot of armed cultivators canvassing the city. All of them were
wearing grave expressions on their faces.
Some of them even stopped passersby from time to time. Then they would take out Austin''s picture
andpare it to the passersby. They were anticipating to see Austin around the ce.
Using his spiritual sense, Austin discovered that those cultivators had Peacock Princess''s and his
portraits in their possession.
Obviously, they were sent by the Ji Family to look for the two of them.
The Ji Family had extended its influence to many kingdoms of the East Maind, including the
Dawning Kingdom.
Since Austin already knew that the cultivators of the Ji Family were in search of him and Peacock
Princess everywhere, he decided to never take off the Appearance-transforming Clothes.
The clothes could change his appearance so that the people of the Ji Family would not be able to
recognize him.
Half a day had passed.
Using his spiritual sense, Austin suddenly spotted someone going through the city gate.
It was Marcus.
He was dressed in fine purple clothes. There was also a ck fire burning on the surface of his body.
Darkness, silence and sadness filled the area in a ten-mile radius around him. That was the scent of
death.
Anyone who knew the secret skill of the Ji Family would immediately tell that only the Dark Scripture
had the power to do this.
Dark Scripture was one of the valuable ancient scriptures in the East Maind. Its power was terrifying.
Actually, only important members of the Ji Family were qualified to cultivate it.
When they saw Marcus entering the city, the pedestrians nearby made way for him. No one dared to
People really looked up to him because he was an elite among the young people in the East Maind.
On the top of that, his father was the former chief of the Ji Family. That meant, he was one of the core
members of a prominent family and he had a high position.
For these reasons,mon disciples would never dare to offend him.
When Marcus felt the respect and fear of the people around him, his eyes twinkled. He even lifted up
his chin more to exclude a noble aura.
"Look, it''s Marcus Ji from the Ji Family!"
"Yes, it''s him. I heard that he had an intense battle with Peacock Princess in the Dawning Mountains
and won. Because of that, Peacock Princess ran away and is nowhere to be found now."
Some people spoke out their thoughts. They couldn''t avert their eyes from Marcus as he continued to
walk on the street.
Since he was a core member of the Ji Family, it was impossible for him to keep a low profile. No matter
where he went, he would always attract attention.
''If only people know the truth, '' Austin mocked inwardly. ''Marcus bragged that he defeated Peacock
Princess where in fact, it was the other way around. He lied to everyone. That''s so low. Shame on him.''
Meanwhile, the other cultivators on the street swarmed towards Marcus.
"Mr. Ji," greeted them in a humble manner.
"What have you got?" asked Marcus in an arrogant tone as he ced his hands behind his back.
It was normal for him to behave this way in front of other cultivators because they were all aware that
he was superior to them.
Most members of the Ji Family must show respect to him.
"We have been searching here for a day now but still we haven''t found any signs of her," answered one
of the cultivators.
His voice was full of respect as he bowed his head to Marcus.
Instantly, Marcus'' face turned dark as he heard the report.
In the past few days, he had been looking for Peacock Princess everywhere in the Dawning Mountains
but he failed.
Since the people of the Ji Family were also looking for her everywhere in the city, he expected to get a
positive result from them. However, he was also weed with a bad news.
The news ruined Marcus'' entire mood.
People in the East Maind were talking about how he had defeated Peacock Princess. Everyone
respected and admired him more because of this.
But if Peacock Princess suddenly showed up, he was certain that she would debunk his lie.
He could never allow that to happen, so he wanted them to seize Peacock Princess as soon as
possible. He could only be rest assured once Peacock Princess was in his hands.
"Send more men to look for her," ordered Marcus coldly.
"If you hear anything about her, let me know immediately. All of you will definitely receive a handsome
reward once we find her."
The cultivators'' eyes lit up upon hearing the words "handsome reward".
"Got it, Mr. Ji," replied the cultivators excitedly.
They were all anticipating the handsome reward.
"One more thing. Investigate this guy," added Marcus.
"Then send our men to get rid of his family, rtives, friends and members of his sect. Anyone
connected to him must die."
He stared at Austin''s picture with intense hatred in his eyes.

Austin helped Peacock Princess escape from him. Marcus couldn''t ept this fact.
There was no way he would spare Austin because of it. The worse was, everyone connected to Austin
would also be implicated.
People who heard Marcus'' words held their breaths.
''Looks like Marcus is going to execute everyone connected to this young man.
What did this young man do to the Ji Family? Why would Marcus be so cruel to him?'' they wondered.
They were aware that Marcus was dead serious.
Apart from the three holynds, the other two prominent families and the major sects, the Ji Family was
also capable of destroying any forces or organizations in the East Maind.
""I''m on it, Mr. Ji," answered one cultivator immediately.
Austin was able to hear everything through his spiritual sense.
''Damn it! You''re really a cold-blooded bastard, Marcus. You even want to eliminate everyone connected
to me, '' thought Austin.
''Let''s see how good you really are. Just don''t give me a chance to get to you first. Or else, I will never
let you go.''
Austin glowered at Marcus with zing eyes. He was standing in a remote corner where no one could
notice him.
He would never show mercy to those who wanted him dead.
Austin stayed to where he was hiding and watched Marcus and his crew''s every move.
Half a dayter, Austin noticed that Marcus was about to take his leave.
''So, he doesn''t n to stay long in the Genuine Water City, '' said Austin to himself silently. He was
staring at Marcus'' receding figure.
''That elder in ck is not around and he doesn''t have any cultivators with him. This is my chance, '' he
suddenly thought in excitement.
A ferocious look shed across his eyes.
''Fuck them all! The Ji Family had already caused me so much problems. It''s my turn to teach them a
lesson.''
Austin made a decision while watching Marcus moving fast towards the city gates.
He licked his lips and got ready for an assault.
