"One of the Sky Sect's stewards named Brent Zeng have them.
He wanted to marry them as his concubines. Well, of course, it would be an unwanted marriage for my two girls," Marwell replied, grimacing in pain.
Michelle and Joyce were his favorite daughters. They were going to get married to someone they didn't love, and he couldn't do anything about it.
‘What? A steward called Brent Zeng planned to force Michelle and Joyce into marriage? Joyce is only twelve; she is still a child! That Brent is an actual pedophile, ' Austin thought.
"Where is Brent? Is he still in the Daylight City?" Austin suddenly asked.
His tone was full of uneasiness and haste.
"Yes. He is at the Sky Sect stronghold in the Daylight City.
| heard that he is at the medium stage of Master Realm and a tough opponent.
Besides, there are many disciples in the stronghold. Please don't take any chances," Marwell worriedly replied.
'A cultivator at the medium stage of Master Realm?’ Austin thought silently.
So far, Malick and the three castellans were the best cultivators with whom Austin had fought. They were at preliminary stage of the Master Realm.
He had never challenged a warrior who had reached the medium stage of Master Realm.
Austin could handle those at the preliminary stage of Master Realm with his incredible spiritual sense.
But he speculated that a Master Realm cultivator at the medium stage was much powerful than the one at the preliminary stage.
Hence, he was unsure if he could defeat a cultivator at the medium stage of Master Realm.
Even if he couldn't defeat such a strong cultivator, he was aware that he could save the two girls with his spiritual sense, the gnome's beast soul energy, and the City.
Knowing the girls were with Brent, Austin was more than determined to cto their rescue as soon as possible.
"Austin, a cultivator at the medium stage of Master Realm is a formidable adversary.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDon't do anything stupid.
Perhaps it is Michelle and Joyce's fate to marry that man. So just let them be," Marwell persuaded as he saw how Austin dwelled deeply into his thoughts.
'He must have planned to cto Michelle's and Joyce's aid, ' he assumed.
Marwell knew that Austin was powerful for the young man could even take out a master at the premium stage of Imperial Realm.
However, Brent had reached the medium stage of Master Realm. There was no doubt that a Master Realm warrior was much stronger than an Imperial Realm warrior.
Even though he admitted that Austin's battle force was terrific, he didn't think that Austin could match such a formidable cultivator.
He didn't want to see Austin put his life at risk for his daughters.
"Marwell, don't worry. | know what to do.
I will not get myself killed," Austin replied.
He reassured the worried man with an evident conviction on his face as if implying that no one could stop him from his decision.
‘Now that Brent is at the Sky Sect's stronghold in the Daylight City, Michelle and Joyce must have been trapped there too, ' he inferred.
"Well, Marwell, | am gonna send you and your companions to a safe place, so you can rest and fully recover.
Marco and sof your clan members have been there before, so you can ask him if you need something," Austin urged.
By sending Marwell away, he could push through with his rescue plan without any delay.
Marwell was taken by great surprise. As he cback to senses, he nodded in agreement.
Austin got all the members of the Meng clan to the City by activating the teleportation power.
He had also transferred several Imperial Realm masters there before.
To protect Marwell and his men, Austin had arranged a place for them far away from those Imperial Realm warriors.
As the master of the city, Austin had no difficulty making such an arrangement.
Having done finding a shelter for Marwell and his companions, Austin looked at the dead bodies of the Sky Sect disciples. He opened his hand, and then several light golden flames materialized over his palm.
The flames cforward and fell on the corpses scattered on the ground. In a flash, they turned into huge fire blaze, burning all the dead bodies to ashes.
Austin displayed his Thunderbolt Movement Skill and immediately headed towards the Daylight City.
Soon after, he arrived at the gates of the city and showed the guard his pass to enter.
He went into a quiet alley and asked Violet to hide his vital energy and change his appearance. A few moments later, he turned into an old man who was in his fifties.
He sported a black robe and wore a bamboo hat with a black veil which covered up his whole face.
Austin used to disguise himself with those clothing articles stored into his Space Ring.
After throwing on his disguise, he began to search for the stronghold of the Sky Sect.
Sky Sect was a famous, influential sect that people in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom had heard much about.
It would be easy for Austin to inquire about its location.
Soon after, he had figured out where the Sky Sect's base in the Daylight City was.
Many people flocked the streets in broad daylight.
Since there was a big crowd, which could impede his plans, Austin planned on carrying on his rescue task in the evening.
Decided as he was, he stopped for a while when he realized something.
‘Brent has Michelle and Joyce. What if he loses his control and tries to take advantage of them? The longer they stay with Brent, the more they are likely to be harassed by him, ' he brooded as he changed his plan with finality.
Wasting no time, he cto the Sky Sect's stronghold. He exerted his spiritual sense and found an alley with a few people behind it.
He entered the alley, crossed the wall, and sneaked into the stronghold of the Sky Sect.
"Who is over there?" As soon as Austin landed on the ground, two disciples of the Sky Sect emerged from a corner and ran towards him.
The two were at the premium stage of Sky Realm.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe vital energy sword materialized over Austin's palm and cut through the two disciples’ throats.
Several golden flames appeared and burned them to ashes.
Those flames from Scorching Evil Fire were intensely blazing.
After securing his safety, Austin looked around and found himself in a small back garden.
‘Their duty must be to prevent people from breaking into the stronghold from behind.
Since the Sky Sect is one of the most prominent sects, no one would dare to barge in and stir up trouble.
Perhaps that's why this place has weak defenses. Only two disciples patrolled there, ' he analyzed.
Austin unleashed his spiritual sense to scan the stronghold.
He noticed that it occupied a large area with towers and buildings erected everywhere.
Aside from those, he also saw a myriad of gardens, artificial hills, ponds, pavilions, and rare flowers and herbs growing from every corner.
‘This is just a stronghold, but it is already as luxurious as a prince's palace. Sky Sect is rich and influential, ' he sighed inwardly.
The disciples, stewards, and leaders of that sect must be lavishly and extravagantly living in that place.
Austin commanded his spiritual sense, which was powerful enough to keep other cultivators with weaker spiritual sense from detecting him.
It enabled him to sense others without being pried.
That tactic would only work if his spiritual sense would be much stronger and powerful; otherwise, he would be revealed in an instant.
After a couple of minutes, he was able to locate Michelle and Joyce.
They had been locked up in a room, and several maids were talking with them and helping them with their make-ups.
Two Imperial Realm cultivators stood outside the room, obviously to guard the maidens and keep an eye on prospective intruders.
'I must get them out of this place, ' Austin resolved.
He then activated the Thunderbolt Movement Skill and headed towards the chamber.
