Feeling a powerful spiritual sense probing in his direction, Austin immediately told Violet and prepared to leave.
"Master, place your spiritual sense into my Illusion Bead, and I'll cast an illusion spell. Let's see if we can evade the probing of this spiritual sense," Violet answered.
She was trying to find a way out.
"What? Cast an illusion spell?" Austin was dumbfounded.
All this the had been aware of Violet's excellence in illusions. Nevertheless, he'd had no idea as to which kind of Illusory skills Violet excelled at.
Along tago, she had taught Austin the Magical Aura-changing Skill, which the latter had learned quickly and used frequently and effectively.
Hearing Violet say this, Austin expected something to happen. He did as she instructed and transferred his spiritual sense to her Illusion Bead.
Austin's spiritual sense was capable of sensing things 46, 000 meters away, which was much more powerful than that of most cultivators of the Imperial Realm.
Therefore, with the influx of Austin's spiritual sense, the Illusion Bead began glowing with a brilliant violent color. Several dream- like halos emanated from the Illusion Bead and encompassed Austin's body within them.
When his body was completely shrouded in halos, the powerful invading spiritual sense continued to seek Austin's whereabouts was confounded.
While scanning for Austin's body, that spiritual sense seemed to becmomentarily confused. It continued to scan for his body several times. Finally, it found nothing and retreated.
When Austin felt the spiritual sense withdraw, he sighed with relief.
"Violet, your illusion worked," Austin said with admiration.
She shrugged modestly and gave a half-bow in sign of respect.

Austin looked speculatively at Violet then.
"By the way, were you born knowing how to use those illusion skills?" he asked curiously.
Although Violet had been serving Austin for a long tand he knew that she was one of the nine tail demon foxes, he still knew little about her.
Violet's accent suggested that she must cfrom a noble and ancient family which had already been forgotten by everyone.
Several days ago, the young lord of the Thunder Sect had also shown sinterest in Violet.
Mentally considering all this, Austin was of the view that the nine tail demon fox must be a bizarre and unique demonic beast indeed.
"Master, | know those illusion skills because they are so deeply rooted in my memories.
After a nine tail demon fox is reborn, its past memories continue to exist in its mind. As our cultivation base improves, more of our dormant memories awaken," she answered.
Frowning at this strange concept, Austin scratched at his head in puzzlement.
"Oh? Past memories?" He had never heard of such strange things before. He was inclined to compare Violet's past memories to human genes.
While Austin and Violet were talking, Adrian, the third elder of the Thunder Sect and master of that powerful probing spiritual sense, looked surprised.
At that moment, Adrian sat together with Horace and Sheldon who had once before fought with Austin. There were also several martial arts masters from the Thunder Sect present.
The odd behavior of Adrian drew everyone's attention.
"Adrian, what have you found?" Horace asked in surprise.
It was he who had so savagely battled against Austin.
"It felt like somebody was probing us by using his own powerful spiritual sense.
However, when | used my own spiritual sense to locate him, nothing was found.
Has somebody else already cast his greedy eyes on the Thunder Unicorn?" Adrian questioned.
He looked about with sconcern.
"In the past two days, did you find anybody else hovering around here?" he continued questioning anxiously.
All the members in the group shook their heads negatively.
"Anybody else? We met a guy two days ago who seemed to have possessed the cultivation base of the Sky Realm. He behaved strangely during the battle and killed Steve within only a few moves.
| used the Lightning Blood Demon skill but still couldn't make him surrender. Besides, he had command over a tenth-level diabolic beast which was quite ferocious and terrifying.
Is he perhaps the one you are looking for?" Horace reflectively related the battle, while being puzzled about whether this might even be relevant.
"Are you saying that he had only entered the cultivation base of the Sky Realm? Yet, even your Lightning Blood Demon skill failed to deal with him? That's impressive.
If he's really just what you said, then his fighting skills must be quite unique.
But, a warrior of the Sky Realm is unlikely to possess such a powerful spiritual sense as the one | just encountered a few seconds ago.
You can't expect such a powerful spiritual sense to be mastered by a lesser cultivator.
Allin all, we have to be careful, and guard against anybody who tries to obtain the Thunder Unicorn," Adrian warned seriously.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe looked about the group to ensure that they understood the gravity of the situation.
Everyone else present held positions inferior to Adrian, and they hurriedly nodded their agreement.
"Adrian, we have been waiting here for that beast for a whole day, but it's still nowhere to be seen.
Have we made a mistake? Is it possible that the beast isn't in the cave at all?" another elder in yellow clothing asked.
He was known as Sheldon and was the scultivator who had joined the battle against the evil ape several days ago.
"No, it can't be that. I'm sure that the beast is inside the cave. | have brought my lightning-guiding conductor here.
It's one of the most precious treasures passed on by our ancestors. It's really effective in locating treasures or beasts with the thunder nature. Don't worry, we're doing everything in the right way.
However, perhaps the beast already knows that we are here. Gentlemen, let's focus on our task. We can't allow that beast to escape." Adrian stared at the small cave which was shrouded in mist on the opposite side of the cliff.
Hearing Adrian's order, they simultaneously floated into the air. Beneath their feet was a bottomless pit. Milk white mist was surging beneath. On the opposite side stood a cliff with a thousand meters drop.
Only cultivators of the Imperial Realm were capable of standing or flying in the air with such ease. Therefore, all of the cultivators of the Thunder Sect had entered the Imperial Realm or above.
They were most willing to follow Adrian's order. Silently they focused their attention on the small cave sequestered in mist on the opposite side.
A moment later, Adrian sensed something and shouted, "Be careful! | heard something." Everyone reached a state of heightened alert.
As expected, sstrange energy waves emanated from inside the cave. The enveloping mist was slowly dispersed by a powerful force and the entrance to the cave was revealed.
Then, a thunderbolt of lightning of the width of an arm shot from the cave. Suddenly the air crackled and was filled with the smell of burning.
Countless lightning bolts snaked out of the cave. The sky becovercast and heavy clouds gathered over the cliff.
The Thunder Unicorn!
