Chapter 1652 Face To Face With Will Again
With his spiritual sense, Steward Nn detected Austin''s arrival at the base.
"How about we summon Austin to ask him about the Purple Immortal''s coffin?" Steward Nn asked
Elder Brendan through his spiritual sense.
Elder Brendan didn''t respond immediately. He contemted the matter. As usual, he didn''t decide on
impulse.
"No. For now, don''t do anything.
Let''s y everything by ear," he said.
Austin was heading straight home—at a dwelling on a hill.
Momentster, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He learned Will was there through his spiritual sense force.
Austin instantly went berserk. It happened again.
''What an ass. Will must''vee back again and again to bug Caroline while I was away, '' he thought.
Will had a growing list of sins to Austin, and thetter was persistently taking notes. Austin
remembered when he followed the other members of the me Holy Land to go treasure-hunting at
the Purple Immortal tomb, Will and hispanion kicked him out.
A man like Will would stop at nothing to get what he wanted, and Austin very well knew that.
Rage boiled inside him and he couldn''t help it. His eyes appeared red and his body tensed.
With one step forward, Austin vanished into thin air.
On the hill, meanwhile, a man was standing in front of a hovel.
"Caroline, can''t you give me a chance? You deserve someone better. I''m way better. I will fill your
present and future with nothing but happiness. Please believe me, Caroline,"
he said with all sincerity in his heart.
"Will, please. I''ve told you I''m in love with someone else.
You''ve seen him already.
You really shouldn''te here again," Caroline said, indifferent to Will but passionate for the man that
owned her heart.
Will came by the hut every day despite Caroline''s polite pleas for him to leave. Dealing with his
annoying persistence had driven her crazy.
Though she wanted to throw him out with force every time he came, she couldn''t. Her skills were
uselesspared to his, being at the Divine Bridge Realm.
"Caroline, don''t be blinded by love. Austin isn''t good enough for you.
Must you lower yourself like this just to be with him?
I can''t stand seeing you doing that to yourself,"
Willmented.
"You''re wrong, Will.
No one''s better for me than him,"
Caroline retorted.
"But Caroline," Will insisted.
"He yed you..."
He was about to say something back when, out of the blue, he raised his eyebrows and he looked left
and right.
Will sensed the impending danger in his midst.
Upon realizing this, he quickly dodged on his side.
"Swoosh!"
Austin lunged at the spot where Will had stood with his white sword at the aim.
His face was filled with wrath.
"You!"
Will screamed, looking both astonished and furious.
Austin was equally stunned, not because it was Will, but because of his intimidating powers.
''Ugh, I was supposed to stab him! The sword skill I used is a powerful technique in the Infernal
Scripture.
But Will was fast, he knew I wasing for him.
His spiritual sense is much strongerpared to masters of his level, '' he thought.
Caroline sensed Austin had arrived. She dashed out of her house and flew right into Austin''s arms.
"You''re finally back," she beamed. "I missed you."
"Me too. How are you?"
Austin asked as he caressed her hair.
"I''m doing very well, but much better, now that you''re here,"
Caroline replied, as sweet as a meek bunny.
Will''s face looked like thunder as he witnessed how Caroline lovingly embraced Austin.
Then, he remembered how terrified he was when Austin attacked him.
Had he not sensed and reacted quickly, he would''ve been stabbed.
''Damn it, how did this brat learn such a mysterious and powerful bodily movement skill?''
Will wondered.
What proved to be more difficult for Will to handle was seeing Caroline go lovey-dovey with Austin. She
didn''t want to break away from their embrace.
"You''ll know who really is the right person for you, Caroline. I''ll see to it," Will snorted, and with a flick of
his sleeve, he left the hill.
"Our uninvited guest just left. How shameless. I must teach him a lesson," Austin murmured, his eyes
ring.
He disappeared right there and then.
In the next second, Austin was already beside Will, thrusting his white sword at thetter''s neck.
However, Will slid out of the attack again, proving that he had an incredibly powerful spiritual sense.
Nheless, Austin managed to cut off a strand of his hair. It could''ve been worse, and Will was very
much aware of that.
"You''re just digging your own grave," Will quipped at Austin.
Then, a gigantic palm formed by blue waves rushed towards Austin!
He took quick strides in mid-air to evade the blow, leaving a series of light dots.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Austin moved at an amazing speed while his sword remained directed at Will.
He was using the secret skills recorded in the Infernal Scripture which allowed him to hit Will in a quick,
urate, and cruel fashion.
Will, however, had powers that he could release so effortlessly. What more if he had what Austin had?
The former wasn''t done countering Austin''s attacks. He stretched out his hand, from which violent
energy surged out. This energy swept everything around him like monstrous waves that produced
deep, roaring sounds.
''If it weren''t for the powerful bodily movement skill, I would''ve already lost, ''
Austin thought.
Will was indeed a tough opponent for Austin. He had already reached the medium stage of Divine
Bridge Realm.
Austin unleashed his many tricks, yet he couldn''t hurt Will the way he wanted.
So, after fighting for a while, Austin decided to leave, vanishing into thin air.
In just a split-second, he popped in from a thousand meters away. He stared at Will icily.
Will red back at him, gasping because of the intense emotions he was feeling.
''Ugh, this brat and his weird bodily movement skill. Why is it so difficult to kill him?'' he mused.
''Can''t kill him here at the base though. If I do that, I''d be in deep trouble.''
The two of them exchanged furious nces.
Then, Will sniggered before flying away. They were done fighting for the day.
With a long face, Austin watched Will''s fading figure. ''If I hadn''t used the bodily movement skill, I might
have lost the battle.''
He returned to the hill afterward.
"Wow. You''ve reached the preliminary stage of Emperor Realm," Caroline greeted Austin with a hug as
soon as she saw him. "I''m so proud of you."
She figured this out herself when she saw Austin''s fight against Will using her spiritual sense.
"Yup.
You''ve also made great progress, Caroline. You''ve reached the premium stage of Semi-emperor
Realm.
You''ll break into the Emperor Realm soon. I believe in you,"
Austin assured her with a bright smile.
He was happy for Caroline making steady improvements for her vital energy realm.
With the enemy out of the way, at least for the time being, the two sat quietly and cozily at the stone
table in front of the hovel. Caroline rested her head on Austin''s chest. Absence indeed made the heart
grow fonder. They hadn''t seen each other in ages, so this was a moment they both looked forward to.
The next day, Will and several me Holy Land disciples left the base.
Since Will was a talented principal disciple, he led them to their destination.
He was regarded with a higher level of respect among the other disciples. Often, he went out on secret
missions and cultivation sessions to further improve his strength.
For this trip, it took them a day to get out of the wilderness, where the base was located.
Atst, they reached their destination:
a town.
"I''m going to meet a friend. I''ll introduce you guys to him,"
Will said.
"A friend?"
The other disciples were collectively shocked to hear what Will just said

because disciples of the me Holy Land wouldn''t reveal to other people the sect they were from.
When running errands or doing tasks, they always kept a low profile to avoid exposing their true
identities.
''Hmm, when did Will make friends outside the base?''
the disciples asked in their minds.
Will was one of the most talented disciples in the entire me Holy Land. He had earned the respect of
his seniors.
Hence, suspicious as these disciples were, they didn''t have misgivings that something could be wrong.
Minutester, Will led hispanions to a residence.
A servant wearing indigo clothes came out of the house to wee and usher them inside.
As they stepped into the hall, they saw a thin elder.
Will immediately addressed him, the excitement palpable in his voice.
"Elder Cary, Austin is back at the base.
The three elders in charge are also there.
We can now take action and destroy them," he said.
"Huh? What are you talking about, Will?" shouted the other disciples from the me Holy Land.
They had no idea what Will had gotten into.
