When he found out what had happened to the Sun Sect behind him, Austin wasn't interested in staying in Valley Town any longer.
He planned to head for the Sun Sect on the first possible chance. On the one hand, he wanted to get even with Jaand on the other, he wanted to save the people of the Sun Sect, especially Murray. In his mind, Murray was just like his master and his father.
Even though ever since Austin had left the Sun Sect, they had never met each other, that didn't mean that Austin had forgotten about Murray.
Before he left Valley Town, he gave the corpse flags to Mindy and taught her how to use these flags to control the corpse soldiers.
Mindy was very clever and she mastered the skill in a very short time. Then Austin bid her goodbye and turned his face towards the Sun Sect.
Mindy wanted to accompany Austin on his trip to the Sun Sect, but she was only at the premium stage of the Earth Realm and it wasn't going to help Austin much if she accompanied him, so it was better for her to stay safe here.
Furthermore, Mindy had to garrison Valley Town in order to prevent the people of the Zhang Family from escaping.
With so many arguments, Austin was successful in persuading Mindy not to cwith him and to stay here.
After that, Austin immediately departed for the Sun Mountains where the Sun Sect was situated.
Choosing flight this time, Austin spread the Eagle Wings on his back and soared into the sky. Within seconds, he had left Valley Town far behind him.
He had mastered various bodily movement skills now.
Using the Wind-commanding Skill allowed him to move at full pelt on the ground. Since he was at the medium stage of the Sky Realm, he could also fly with the help of the Wind-commanding Skill. However, that method was still quite slow.
It was still the Eagle Wings which allowed him to fly at the fastest possible speed in the air.
With enough vital energy pumped into the Eagle Wings, Austin could fly as rapidly as an eagle. So using the Eagle Wings to fly was by no means the quickest way to reach his destination.
It was only half a day later that the Sun Mountain finally cinto Austin's view.
Staring at the rolling mountains, Austin recalled the old days during which he was practicing martial arts on the Sun Mountain.
Austin had only stayed on the Sun Mountains for about five to six years after he was brought there by Murray. Before his days in Sun Sect, he was a wanderer and usually moved from place to place.
On coming back to the Sun Mountains again, Austin had mixed feelings. He clearly remembered the day when he was compelled to leave the Sun Mountain by Abbott, the leader of the Blood Wolf Team; Dwayne, the Chief Elder of the Flaming Sun Valley and Jaime.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt that time, Austin had strained every single one of his nerves to escape from Abbott's, Dwayne's, and Jaime's persecutions.
Today though, he wasn't a warrior at the Earth Realm anymore. Instead, he was a master at the Sky Realm. To be honest, at that time, even he hadn't dared to imagine that he would reach the Sky Realm.
After a few more minutes of flying, Austin landed on the periphery of the Sun Mountains, where the grunt disciples lived.
Austin had stayed here for three years, so this place was quite familiar to him.
After landing on the ground, Austin found several dead bodies of the grunt disciples lying here and there.
Most of the dead bodies had blackened, which meant that the grunt disciples had been poisoned to death.
It must have been done by the Ghost Sect. Only being attacked by the corpse soldiers and the corpse generals would have left the dead bodies blackened like this.
The Sun Sect's grunt disciples were only at level two to four of the Energy Gathering Realm. A few corpse soldiers were capable of killing them all.
Austin sighed sadly while looking at the dead bodies of the grunt disciples who had once lived together with him here.
Moments later, he found himself in the dilapidated and small hut where he had once lived for three years.
Inside, Austin stood still, recalling his past for a while.
Then, he sensed what was going on over the Sun Mountains through his spiritual sense.
Very quickly, he discovered that most of the buildings and paths on the Sun Mountain were now guarded by sdiabolical people and groups of corpse soldiers.
It wouldn't have been wrong to say that the entire Sun Sect was now occupied by the Ghost Sect.
Austin was shocked at what he had discovered.
Eventually, he also felt the scent of the Sun Sect's people on the top of the Sun Mountain. According to what he was sensing, hundreds of the Sun Sect's people had chosen to defend themselves at the top of the mountain.
But the disciples of the Ghost Sect had surrounded them and they were now helpless at the top with nowhere to run.
"It seems that the Sun Sect is in dire straits now. They are so helpless that they have been forced to withdraw to the top of the mountain under the Ghost Sect's attacks." Austin muttered to himself with a sad smile.
Then, he called Violet out from the Illusion Bead and together, they secretly moved up from the bottom of the Sun Mountain. On their way, they took numerous steps to help the Sun Sect.
First, they met a patrol of the Ghost Sect.
Five people on patrol were living, and the other 15 were corpse soldiers.
The five living people held corpse flags in their hands to control the 15 corpse soldiers, who had been ordered to guard the entrance.
Since these people of the Ghost Sect were only at level seven or eight of the Energy Gathering Realm, Austin didn't want to waste any tfighting with them with any powerful moves. Instead, he stood far away and threw twenty Spiritual Sense Flying Needles at them. The needles stuck into their heads and tore their spiritual souls into confetti.
Once a person's spiritual soul was broken, he died there and then.
The five people didn't even know what happened to them. They only felt something pricking their heads before they were killed.
The power of Austin's spiritual sense had been strengthened several folds now, and with the help of his Spiritual Sense Flying Needles, he could kill any warrior at the Energy Gathering Realm easily.
After killing these five people, Austin took the corpse flags from them.
Then he waved the corpse flags and the 15 corpse soldiers submissively followed him on his journey to the top of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, Austin met three more patrols, each of which consisted of five living people and fifteen corpse soldiers.
They were blocking his way to the top of the mountain.
Once again, Austin dealt with them in the sway he had coped with the first patrol.
He immediately threw twenty Spiritual Sense Flying Needles at them and killed the Ghost Sect's warriors at the Energy Gathering Realm in a short time. Yet again, he took the corpse flags and got the soldiers under his command.
An hour later, Austin and Violet were in control of more than seventy corpse soldiers.
There were so many corpse soldiers following the two that it looked like a formidable army.
Austin was planning to use these corpse soldiers to defeat their owners themselves.
These corpse soldiers and corpse generals were an important part of the Ghost Sect's military forces.
The bodies of those soldiers and generals were extremely strong and it was quite difficult for ordinary warriors to smash them into pieces. There was lots of ptomaine on their bodies and once the warriors touched it, they would probably die of poisoning.
Austin's intention was to control all the corpse soldiers and generals and use them to attack the Ghost Sect itself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was wondering how interesting and exciting it would be if the Ghost Sect was attacked by their own army.
Violet also showed great interest in Austin's plan, so she followed him in high spirits. . .
On the top of the Sun Mountain, Theon, the leader of the Sun Sect, and the five elders were defending themselves from death with more than a thousand disciples.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Theon could see the enormous number of corpse soldiers and generals and therefore, was in the depths of despair.
Those corpse soldiers and generals were difficult characters. For Theon, it was easy to deal with them. However, while facing this army of the dead, the disciples were out of their depth since they weren't capable of hitting them back.
"Your grace, | never would have thought that Jawould turn out to be a traitor and that he would help the Ghost Sect. He even hurt you when you least expected it. | won't forgive him ever. | will tear him into pieces if | every lay my hands on him. Only then can | satiate my thirst for revenge." A burly elder with a reddish face remarked, gnashing his teeth.
There were several scars on his body. Sof them had becscabs, while the others were new and were all bandaged up.
Apparently, he had participated in several vicious battles.
"Well, | have long thought that Jawas the sort of person who harbored evil intentions. But since we are in the ssect, | have never spoken ill of him. | never thought he would be so cruel that he would even hurt our leader and help the Ghost Sect." Another elder remarked, who was a bit short, but whose voice was like a great bell.
"He is as cruel as a wolf beyond all doubt. If | meet him sday, | promise | will kill him even if it costsmy life. Only then will | be able to face our Sun Sect's ancestors with a clear conscience." A third elder who looked like a Taoist nun said with hatred.
This was Murray, the steward. She was standing beside the elders.
She detested Jaas much as the other elders did.
"Your grace, you may not know that Jaalready did something terrible several years ago.
| kept it a secret because of his high status." Murray told the Sect Leader, Theon.
"Well? What did he do?" Theon asked, surprised.
Then Murray told him that it was Jawho had knocked Austin on his head and turned him into an idiot.
"That explains the matter. At that time, | was also puzzled.
Austin was the most promising outer disciple, | was wondering why he suddenly becan idiot.
But now | know Jais the one to blame.
No wonder Austin refusedwithout hesitation every t| invited him to cback to our Sun Sect in the imperial city. It is all thanks to Jathat we have lost such an amazing disciple." Theon said. It all dawned on him now.
"Your grace, Austin has entered the Sky Realm, hasn't he?" One of the elders suddenly asked.
The other elders also turned to stare at Theon, waiting for his answer.
In the Violet Orchid Empire, a warrior at the Sky Realm was almost the most powerful person. Besides, Austin had once been a member of the Sun Sect, so they were eager to know the answer.
