‘Hmm. | see, ' Austin thought.
He stared at the patterns of the arrays on the golden path, marveling at the array's power.
'I'm lucky to have met the man in the white bead. Otherwise | wouldn't be able to know how to enter the palace.’
Austin looked at the people in the valley.
There were at least six hundred cultivators. Most of them were at the Emperor Realm.
"Looks like the palace is the point of entrance to the Secret Valley. But this place is surrounded by many arrays. These arrays must
be extremely powerful. Otherwise, all those cultivators would have already swarmed towards the entrance.
So, | think we should wait here and see what will happen," Stacy said after observing for a while.
She led the rest to a steep slope, while she kept watching the palace carefully.
‘Stacy is really an observant person. She is a good leader, ' Austin thought to himself as he looked at Stacy keenly.
"Boy, find a chance to approach the golden path, and I'll give you my token. This way, you can enter the palace," the man inside
the white bead suggested to Austin.
Austin nodded his head slightly, in agreement.
All the people there, including the disciples of the three holy lands, fixed their eyes on the golden path.
Apparently they had surmised that the golden path was the only way to the palace.
Considering that all the people were too confused to take any action, Austin thought it was not a good idea to walk on the golden
path. He wanted to stay low. Hence, he stood aside waiting for someone else to make a move first.
As tpassed, more and more people from other sects reached the valley. They were at the Emperor Realm.

"Fuck! Looks like you've been hiding here all this time, you brat."
A furious voice echoed. The next minute, a man dressed in white dashed towards Austin with an angry look on his face.
An overbearing vital energy was being released from the man's body.
Seeing him approaching, Stacy moved forward with a snort and stood in front of Austin.
As she waved her hand, a loud voice cut through the air. The next minute, a phoenix got out of her body. It pounced on the man in
white instantly.
Startled, the man dressed in white clothes waved his arms furiously. Seals formed by vital energy materialized and rushed towards
the phoenix.
With a loud sound, all the seals broke and the man in white was forced to step back. He was taken aback by the power possessed
by Stacy. It took him a moment to recognize who she was.
"You're Stacy Ren from the Deep Sea Commercial House," he said after he steadied himself.
He stared at Stacy with terror. Blood oozed out of his mouth.
"Yes! But who are you? How dare you mess with our guy?"
Stacy said in a cold tone.
"This brat works for the Deep Sea Commercial House! Are you serious?
Well, I'm from the Primordial Sect. We have been looking for him. He had murdered four of our men. He must pay for that," the
man in white replied.
He was Augustus Luo of the Primordial Sect. He was the one who was in-charge of the herb-collecting mission.
A few days ago, Austin killed four disciples of the Primordial Sect near the lake. Augustus had heard about that and was extremely
infuriated at the murder of his men. Thus, he had charged at Austin, the moment he caught sight of him.
"Hmm! Countless people have got killed in the forbidden valley. You just lost four men. Why do you make such a big deal out of it?
If you continue to trouble him, | wouldn't mind killing more of your companions,"
Stacy said in a bossy and cold manner.
The Primordial Sect was a second-class sect, while the Deep Sea Commercial House was a first-class sect. Therefore, quite
naturally Stacy didn't show him any respect.
"You... You should pray that you do not meet us alone. We'll not spare your life the next tyou cross our path. Let's see if you will
always have her cto your rescue," Augustus Luo said to Austin menacingly.
Since Stacy had Austin's back, he couldn't do anything to him. He had to let Austin go now.
Stacy had over twenty Emperor Realm masters under her command, and all of them were incredibly powerful. Since the Deep Sea
Commercial House was one of the first-class forces in the East Mainland, the cultivators raised there were strong. And those whom
Stacy had taken to the Wild Herb Valley were the elites. Among the twenty five Emperor Realm cultivators standing behind Stacy,
eleven of them were at the premium stage.
Adding Stacy, there were twelve Emperor Realm cultivators of the premium stage from the Deep Sea Commercial House in the
valley.
The people of the Primordial Sect who were present there were relatively weak. There were just sixteen Emperor Realm masters
among them, and most of them were at the preliminary stage. Only four of them were at the premium stage.
Augustus cast an angry stare at Austin before leaving with his crew. He realized it was not the right tto go after Austin.
Austin responded with a faint smile. 'Now that I've already crossed them, they will not letgo. It does not matter what | say."
"Look, the disciples of the Rudimentary Holy Land are heading towards the golden path,"
someone in the valley shouted aloud.
Several members of the Rudimentary Holy Land went up to the golden path which was in front of the palace. They stood there and
observed it carefully.

Moments later, a few disciples from the Arcane Holy Land and from the Vasteras Holy Land joined the disciples of the Rudimentary
Holy Land.
All those disciples stopped in front of the golden path. Their eyes were fixed on the array patterns made on the plate.
It seemed like they were studying those symbols and trying to interpret the message.
"These disciples of the three holy lands have a good knowledge about arrays. They seem to be working diligently towards finding a
solution to break the array,"
another man whispered.
The three holy lands in the East Mainland were very powerful sects. Each of those lands had a long history.
The disciples of the holy lands were either exceptional geniuses or outstanding cultivators. Apart from good martial artists, there
were excellent pill refiners, weapon refiners and array experts in the holy lands.
Hence, many disciples of the three holy lands had already learned how to make pills, forge weapons or set up arrays. Sof
them had exceptional talents in those fields.
After stime, the disciples of the three holy lands stepped on the golden path discreetly.
Each tthey took a step forward, they would pause and look down at the patterns on the path. They were being extremely
cautious, as one wrong step could be disastrous for all.
Another few minutes passed and they had advanced a dozen meters.
"It looks like they know how to break the arrays and get into that palace!"
one of the disciples of another sect said in a low voice.
"We can't just wait and watch them advance. We should give it a try too!"
All of a sudden, the people present there began dashing towards the golden path.
