After leaving the gate of the Sand City, the ferocious man who was a sea beast at the Transformation Realm, led Austin and other
people as they flew off from the ground. They flew in the direction of the sea area which was the Third Outer Ring.
They were not moving quite fast. The six women of the mermaid tribe owned comparatively lower cultivation base. In order to keep
pace with them, the whole team flew slowly.
After they traveled for about two or three thousand meters, they were caught up and stopped by scultivators.
"Boy! Stop! Don't fly ahead!"
The people coming from that direction shouted. There were more than a dozen cultivators flying from the other direction. These
people passed all the others but kept barring Austin's way.
"Hmmm. There comes the trouble!’
Austin frowned, thinking about the intentions of these people.
Among these people who were standing on the way, Austin suddenly noticed a familiar face.
It was Cayon, who had claimed to be a disciple of the Holy Sect. Austin had cacross him in the sea area of the Third Outer
Ring earlier.
"Hmm! You bastard! I'm sure you did not think of meetingagain! | finally found you, and it is tfor revenge!"
Cayon stared at Austin, with a corner of his mouth lifting up in a smirk.
With the support from the strong elder from his sect, he thought he could definitely teach Austin a good lesson this time. He could
hardly restrain his eagerness to beat Austin who was standing before him.
"So, young man. Is it you who killed the disciple of our Holy Sect?"
The elder from the Holy Sect asked directly, with undisguised arrogance in his tone.
He recognized from the fluctuations of vital energy force around Austin that the young man was only at the preliminary stage of
Master Realm. As far as the elder was concerned, the strength of this young man was really low and was no match for him.
"Yes! You are right. It is me.

What's the matter?"
Austin answered, with a soft smile and calm expression on his face.
'What did he just say?’
The people around were stunned on hearing what Austin had said.
'What kind of an attitude was that?' Such thoughts arose in the minds and hearts of most of the people around.
'This young man had killed the disciple of their sect. And now, an elder of the sect has cfor revenge.
How could he still be this arrogant?’ People were confused by Austin's behavior. 'What's the matter? How could he ask such a
question to an elder?"
Such thoughts and questions kept lurking in the minds of the people. 'He seems to look down upon the Holy Sect. He did not even
hide his ignorance.’
"How audacious!"
"How dare you!"
"How dare you talk to our elder with such arrogance!"
"Son of a bitch! This is an elder of our Holy Sect. You killed disciples of our sect. If | were you, | would kneel down immediately
before him and plead for my life!"
Austin's calm attitude completely provoked the other disciples of the Holy Sect, who had cthere with the elder. They shouted
angrily at Austin. There were many bad words and abuses that kept coming from their mouths again and again.
'Ha ha! This young man is interesting!"
The ferocious man who was the sea beast at the Transformation Realm thought in his heart. He stood observing it all with his arms
crossed across his chest. He stood aside, looking at Austin with great interest.
"You bastard! Are you scared and freaked out now?
How dare you blabber before us?
Huh! You will know the meaning of the word scared soon!"
Cayon shouted, gritting his teeth. He had expected that Austin would kneel down and beg for life before the elder.
But it shocked him to see Austin behave so calmly. How could he do that!
While most of the men there were reflecting over the meaning of Austin's behavior, the elder of the Holy Sect stared at the
ferocious man who was standing beside Austin. He had his own doubts.
With his cultivation base, he easily recognized that the ferocious man was a sea beast at the Transformation Realm.
The Sand City was the border between the mainland and the Middle World Waters.
Therefore, there were ssea beasts with strength higher than the Transformation Realm. They could transform to human
shapes to get into the Sand City. They could purchase elixirs, medicines and precious weapons there. It was very common to come
across sea beasts in that part of the city.
‘Hmmm! No wonder this young man is so arrogant,
the elder thought in his heart, after feeling the strength of the ferocious man. Unlike his angry followers, the elder's face turned
grave.
The sea beast was very strong, and his strength was hard to estimate.
Generally, the strength of a sea beast at the Transformation Realm was similar to that of a human cultivator at the Astral Realm.
The elder of the Holy Sect, his cultivation base was at the preliminary stage of Astral Realm. And his level was not so high among
the other elders of the Holy Sect.
Thus, facing the sea beast at the Transformation Realm was not what he had planned. He did not have the confidence to confront
and win against the sea beast.
"Ha ha! Rest assured! If you want to take revenge for your disciple, you can just cand fight with me!
Usually, I like to deal with my matters by myself!"
Austin was able to make out the elder's hesitation. He knew that the elder might have concerns about the sea beast at the
Transformation Realm who was standing beside him.
Confident of his own strength now, Austin was not so afraid to confront a master at the preliminary stage of Astral Realm.

He was even eager to have a fight with this elder. He wanted to see whether he could defeat a master at the Astral Realm with his
current strength.
‘Hmmm. This young man is really brave and confident!"
The ferocious man frowned a little when he heard Austin's words. But he wanted to trust him this time. He was impressed at the
courage and confident of the young man.
"That's correct! | won't intervene in this young man's personal matter.
If there is a conflict or issue between the two of you, go ahead and settle it by yourselves. | will move aside."
After saying that, the ferocious man stepped aside, keeping a distance from them.
At the stime, he stretched out his hands to send out a ray of demon force. He had to pull the six women of the mermaid tribe
aside too.
"Ha ha! You are quite sensible. Thank you!"
The elder was so happy to hear the ferocious man's commitment of not intervening in their conflict.
He bowed slightly to the ferocious man with his hands crossed before his chest, showing respect and gratitude to him.
Then, he turned back to Austin and said, "Young man! | wonder why you are so arrogant at your age.
How dare you kill the disciple of our Holy Sect?
Anyways, as it was the first tthat you have offended our sect, and also for the sake of your friend, | will not kill you.
But you still need spunishment. So, how about you cut one arm of yours, clear your cultivation base and kneel down before
Cayon to apologize? After you complete these, we will pardon your life and you can leave alive,"
the elder shouted angrily.
"Wow!
You are askingto cut my arm and clear my cultivation base!
Are you kidding? | think you are still sleeping, or rather day-dreaming this nonsense."
