Tessa stared at Austin, who had successfully pitted the sects against each other.
She marveled at his intelligence and felt proud for knowing him.
The truth was, before she had cto the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom and joined the Iron Lady Mercenary Team, she had been exiled from the Elite Holy Kingdom because of Austin.
Despite that, she didn't hate him. Instead, she saw him as her little brother and was fond of him.
She knew him so well that she saw right through his plot—turning people who wanted the treasures in the Crystal Mine Mountain against each other.
She knew that Austin could eliminate all the Imperial Realm cultivators, ranging from the preliminary stage to the premium stage.
After all, Austin had slain all the disciples of the Cyan Sect in Full Moon City even though sof them had been at the Imperial Realm.
Besides, she had also heard that the leader of Full Moon City who was a Master Realm cultivator had failed to stop Austin from getting away.
Hence, she was well aware of Austin's real strength. She also speculated that he was the one who was responsible for the deaths of the dozens of disciples of the Sky Sect.
Tessa moved closer to Austin and whispered in his ear, "Austin, are you planning to take the divine vital energy crystals that are inside that Crystal Mine Mountain?" "Forget it. Just stay close toand do whatever | ask," Austin replied hurriedly.
He didn't have tto explain his plan to her.
Tessa nodded in agreement.
And yet, she was surprised by her own response. 'What's wrong with me? He's much younger than me. Why am | obediently following his instruction?" Looking at the young man's back, she blushed and her mind wandered off.
Meanwhile, noticing that the members of the Sky Sect and the Iron Lady Mercenary Team were glaring at them, Mark and Morton of Veritable Demon Sect were annoyed at Austin.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Damn it. Austin is such a cunning guy. He's so good at stirring up trouble.
He's intending to trapto buy stfor the people of the New Moon Sect and the Sky Sect so that they can kill all my companions. Shon him! What a shameless guy!" Mark cursed, seething with anger.
He was only at the preliminary stage of Imperial Realm, which meant that he was weaker than many of the cultivators present.
However, he was skilled at manipulating puppets. That was the secret weapon that enabled him to defeat cultivators who were stronger than him.
"Screw it. That brat set us up and got us in trouble!" Morton thundered, simmering with rage.
He was dying to punch Austin to death.
Thomas and the three Sect Leaders stepped back with their men to stay away from the battlefield.
They intended to watch the four groups fight until they couldn't pose a threat to them. Then, they would enter the quarry and take the treasures for themselves.
"Con, guys. Let's do it!" Caspar from the Sky Sect said to his crew.
Dozens of his companions had been slaughtered and he was convinced that the people of the Veritable Demon Sect were the ones who had done that, so he decided to take revenge.
"Now move!" The disciples of the Sky Sect shouted as they dashed at the people of the Veritable Demon Sect.
"Damn it! They're coming! Guys, get ready to fight!" Morton said to his men.
He released all his strength of 350, 000 pounds and ran toward the disciples who were approaching his companions.
Aware that Morton possessed incredible physical power, the five Imperial Realm masters of the Sky Sect, including Caspar, exerted their bodily movement skills and formed a barrier between Morton and their companions. The five teamed up to attack the brawny man.
Even though Morton possessed enormous physical strength, it was a difficult task for him to handle five Imperial Realm cultivators at the stime. Soon he could barely fend off their blows.
"Attention, guys. Let's do it!" the Team Head of the Tiger Mercenary Team said to his men.
"Let's see what you can do!" Isis's voice cfrom the sedan behind the members of the Iron Lady Mercenary Team.
The moment she finished speaking, she began playing the harp.
The fury-filled sound contained a power so mighty that it was as if it could destroy anything in the world.
Soon, the note turned a shade of pink and pierced a Tiger Mercenary Team member who was at the preliminary stage of Imperial Realm in a flash.
"Boom!" His body exploded, leaving only a bloody mess behind.
There had been four Imperial Realm cultivators among the members of the Tiger Mercenary Team who were on a mission in the Sunset Mountain. But after the deaths of Walter and the cultivator who had just gotten killed, only three Imperial Realm warriors remained, including the Team Head of the Tiger Mercenary Team who joined them later.
The Tiger Mercenary Team had lost two Imperial Realm masters.
The Team Head felt his heart ache.
"What?" Austin took a deep breath.
"The Magic Harp Player is really merciless and determined. She has already ended the life of one Imperial Realm master," he muttered.
The sound continued resounding from the sedan in which Isis was seated.
Each note was like a powerful weapon.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! A series of notes shot toward the area where the members of the Tiger Mercenary Team stood.
Those notes fell on the ground like heavy hammers, creating pits all over the place.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!" Sof the weaker Tiger Mercenary Team let out screams of fear. The next moment, they shattered into a million pieces.
"What the hell! This bitch is ruthless.
Guys, follow me. Let's kill all the women of the Iron Lady Mercenary Team!" the Team Head of the Tiger Mercenary Team ordered his crew. Seeing his men killed this way, he was overcwith rage. He leaped into the air and destroyed a dozen notes with his huge foot that contained a lot of vital energy. With a livid face, he headed toward the members of the Iron Lady Mercenary Team.
Floating in mid-air, he stomped a dozen women from the Iron Lady Mercenary Team to death.
The rest of the Tiger Mercenary Team members were slightly relieved after their boss had counterattacked Isis's blows. They mustered up scourage and ran toward the women of the Iron Lady Mercenary Team.
Their determined shouts reached Isis's ears.
"Hmph! What a group of losers!" Her voice full of contempt rang out throughout the area. Soon, the notes she was playing becten times heavier than before.
They shot toward the people of the Tiger Mercenary Team.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Each note possessed hundreds of thousands of pounds of force. Those notes could break anything.
It seemed like twas standing still.
The Tiger Mercenary Team members were approaching their enemies to fight with them.
But before they could reach their enemies, countless notes fell on their bodies. The strength of each note was over 200, 000 pounds.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Most of the Tiger Mercenary Team members were crushed and killed on the spot.
Only the three Imperial Realm masters, including the Team Head of the Tiger Mercenary Team, withstood Isis's attack by gathering all of their vital energy.
Even though they avoided ending up like their companions, they were forced to slow down.
Isis's skill was so ruthless and aggressive that she could kill most of her enemies from a distance.
In the meantime, the Sky Sect and the Veritable Demon Sect were still fighting. The disciples of both sects lost their lives in the process.
