Chapter 1603 Roc King
After refining the bronze furnace, Austin suddenly spotted a tiny ck me inside it. It was quite
unnoticeable but Austin''s keen eyes did not miss it.
''Is this the ck Hell Fire?''
Austin wondered, staring at the me curiously.
He recalled the sea of ck fire that came out from the bronze furnace. ''I can''t believe this tiny me is
the source of the vast and deadly fire, '' he thought seriously.
He studied the furnace for some more time before putting it aside.
''This bronze furnace is extremely powerful. I''ll figure out how to use itter. Perhaps it will be one
of my trump cards, '' he wondered dly.
Swoosh!
A figure flew towards Austin from the distance. In a sh, the Peacock Princess appeared in front of
him.
"He got away.
I didn''t expect him to learn a secret skill which enables him to move incredibly fast. He activated that
skill at the cost of his life vitality and shook me off!"
Peacock Princess said furiously.
Austin was also displeased to hear that Marcus had fled.
"We need to get out of here. I bet the people of the Ji Family will be here any moment,"
Peacock Princess said with a frown on her worried face.
"You have a good point. Let''s go," Austin agreed and followed her advice.
''Once the members of the Ji Familye to know that the Peacock Princess was seen here, they will
make it here soon, '' he thought.
Austin and the girls from the beast race left the ce in a hurry.
Meanwhile, a beam of ck light moved forward rapidly, a few hundred kilometers away from them.
It was Marcus who was enveloped by the light. To get rid of the Peacock Princess, who was following
him, he had disyed a secret skill. The skill helped him increase his speed to great levels. He also
paid a heavy price for his sessful escape. He had to consume his life vitality to activate the skill.
As time psed, he became weaker and weaker.
Despite that, he forced himself to keep moving. A couple of hourster, he finally saw the city ahead of
him.
"Skyline City!" Marcus murmured to himself.
His mind was set at ease as he saw the city. His uncle Albert was in that city.
As he lowered his defenses, he started to feel dizzy. Exhaustion came over him.
He had been seriously injured yet he had consumed much of his life vitality in order to free himself from
the Peacock Princess'' chase.
At this point, he was nearly dying.
Marcus felt that he couldn''t hold on any longer. He was going to die any moment.
Hence, he took out a Contact Jade Slip and quickly sent a message to Albert.
"Help, Uncle Albert!" he said in a weak voice.
After that he cked out. He had fallen just outside the city gates.
Momentster, some cultivators spotted Marcus who had be unconscious with pain and
exhaustion.
"He looks familiar," someone among the cultivators remarked.
"He is the core member of the Ji Family—Marcus Ji!" another one identified him.

"Yes! It''s him! I have seen him several times," another recollected.
Many of them recognized Marcus who had fallen down the sky, which was unknown to them.
"What happened to him? Why has he got such severe injuries? Who dared to do this to him? Is he not
afraid of the Ji Family?"
someone kept raising questions.
''The Ji Family is an influential force in the East Maind.
And now one of its core members was almost beaten to death. The senior members of the Ji Family
will blow their top once theye to know this.''
Everyone was sure there would be a terrible bacsh from the Ji Family. A couple of secondster,
Albert appeared beside Marcus.
With a wave of his hand, he released a vital energy force which helped Marcus up and kept him floating
in front of the elder.
He checked Marcus''s injuries with the use of his spiritual sense, and when he was done examining, he
knitted his eyebrows. ''If Marcus doesn''t get treatment in time, he will lose his life, '' he thought.
''I will make the criminal pay the price for this.''
Albert looked sullen and glum at the sight of his fatally injured nephew.
He carried Marcus, and both of them disappeared in a sh.
After half the day had passed, the news spread widely. It was regarding the core member of the Ji
Family—Marcus, who was beaten and injured terribly. And it was also about how he fell outside the
gates of the Skyline City from the sky and he was at a very critical stage.
As a result, Marcus''s injuries and the attacks on him had be a hot topic among the cultivators.
Since the Ji Family was powerful in the East Maind, people tended to be interested in anything
about them.
Some inquisitive cultivators even started to specte the person who had attacked and injured Marcus.
Many of them concluded that it was one person—the Peacock Princess.
People seemed to be aware that Marcus had pursued the Peacock Princess the other day. So they
surmised that the Peacock Princess had something to do with his getting injured.
Some of the cultivators were convinced that it was the Peacock Princess herself who had beaten up
Marcus.
Sometimeter, another news came. It was about how the whole Ji Family went ballistic after knowing
about Marcus''s condition. They were worried about him being seriously injured. As a result, lots of
cultivators including many masters from the Ji Family had started looking for the attacker.
They swore to avenge Marcus.
Beating up a core member of the family was being regarded as a provocation to the dignity of all the
members of the Ji Family. The leaders of the Ji Family wouldn''t let it go and there was no way they
would pretend as if nothing had happened. There were going to be severe consequences.
The cultivators of the Ji Family could be seen everywhere in the Dawning Kingdom.
At this point, they were getting restless and frustrated.
On the other hand, Austin was hiding in the Heaven City in the Dawning Kingdom.
He disguised himself with the help of Appearance-transforming Clothes, and collected useful
information while wandering on the streets.
''Well, so Marcus fled to the Skyline City, ''
Austin thought.
He also inquired about the whereabouts of the members of the beast race who had escaped from the
Dawning Mountains.
He did this for the sake of the Peacock Princess.
However, he didn''t get any word on them.
The only thing people knew or spoke was that the other members of the beast race, who had been
chased by the cultivators from the Ji Family, were hiding somewhere safely.
A dayter, shocking news spread throughout the East Maind.
A great master of the East Maind—Roc King who was from the beast race made his appearance in
the Dawning Kingdom. He put down several strong cultivators from the Ji Family including an elder in
public.
Besides that, he ughtered a great number of cultivators of the Ji Family.
The Roc King even showed up in the Skyline City, in a bid to take out Marcus.
But two elders from the Ji Family made it there in time. There was a fierce battle that followed with the
Roc King. Somehow they managed to save Marcus from the great master.
Roc King''s sudden appearance became a huge news in the East Maind.
No one had ever seen him in thest few hundred years. And there had been rumors that he had
perished.
But this time, he appeared in the Dawning Kingdom and proved all those rumors wrong.
All the cultivators knew why the Roc King suddenly turned up in the Dawning Kingdom. The reason
was clear. He used to be the Peacock King''s most trusted subordinate.
They guessed that the Roc King hade to the Dawning Kingdom to help the Peacock Princess
against the Ji Family.
"It''s Uncle Boris. He is here for me. What a great surprise!"
The Peacock Princess eximed cheerfully after Austin filled her in on the information he had collected
about the arrival of the Roc King and the destruction he had done.
