The Supreme God of Martial Arts

After leaving the cave he had been staying for days, Austin set his first target as the Holy Heritor of the Magic Hand Sect.

The Holy Heritor was of paramount significance to a sect as he would be an important candidate for the succession of the sect

leader.

Thus, a Holy Heritor's status was superior to that of an elder.

Considering their value to a sect, Austin targeted the Holy Heritor of each sect first.

"Let's head to the Elixir City!"

Austin instructed his companions before leading them toward the Elixir City.

Along the way, Austin and his friends kept a low profile.

Austin wore his Appearance-transforming Clothes. He disguised himself as a plain-faced and dull young man that no one would

notice.

He also asked Violet to help change the aura of his spiritual soul when they crossed crowded areas just to be sure that no one

would learn of his true identity.

The Elixir City was located close to the Magic Hand Sect's headquarters.

Numerous people thronged to the Elixir City as it was the venue for this year's alchemy competition.

The alchemy competition was held every five years in the East Mainland. Each time, it would attract many younger generation pill

refiners. Everyone wanted to cand compete at the competition with the hopes of proving their worthiness as pill refiners.

All sects in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom would send a representative to watch the competition. After the winners were

announced, these representatives would try to recruit these young talents

as those well-recognized pill refiners were all already aligned with influential sects.

However, it was easier to find and recruit younger pill refiners.

Considering the benefits of attending the competition, the Elixir City was packed with young pill refiners and representatives of all

sects.

For this reason, there was a lot of human traffic on the Elixir City's streets.

"What a huge crowd!"

Austin could not help but sigh when he saw how many people were present on the streets.

The queen and the sect leader also looked at the crowd around them as they stepped into the Elixir City.

The evil shadow race had always been good at disguising and hiding their tracks. Right now, the queen had concealed her identity

by cloaking herself like a plain-looking woman.

Austin found that although the queen didn't change the aura of her spiritual soul, she seemed to have concealed her aura so that

no one else could sense it.

The sect leader of the Fire Worshiping Sect walked beside Austin. He was dressed like an old servant clad in indigo. Even he had

concealed his vital energy force.

The three looked like an ordinary couple, accompanied by an old servant.

This was a common combination, and hence, it would not raise any suspicions.

"Get the hell out of the way. Our master is coming!"

As Austin and his companions walked on the street, someone shouted from behind.

Then they heard horses clopping toward them.

There were so many people on the street, and yet, someone dared to ride horses through the crowd. This person must have real

power and influence!

Austin was a little annoyed, but he moved sideways to let the horses pass.

Five red flood dragon horses charged through. The rider in the lead was a young man clad in pale yellow. He wore an arrogant

expression on his face.

An overwhelming scent of herb emanated from this yellow-clad man. Austin guessed that he was a young pill refiner.

The remaining people accompanying the young man looked like servants from the way they were dressed.

"It looks like you know your place, after all!"

One of the servants turned to Austin and snorted with an air of triumph and authority.

When Austin looked around, he noticed that everyone else on the street had stepped aside the second they heard the clop. Austin

and his friends had been the slowest to react.

No wonder these servants noticed Austin and his companions.

"Look! It is Nicolas.

| heard that he is one of the most promising and talented pill refiners in the East Mainland. Every sect is trying to recruit him."

Someone was discussing the identity of the young man on the horse.

"lI wonder why he is in such a hurry."

"Haven't you heard?

There is a private meeting in the Restaurant Aroma. Only the elite of the younger generation have been invited. | heard that Gerry,

the Holy Heritor of the Magic Hand Sect, organized this meeting.

And, Nicolas is among the few people who received an invitation."

"No wonder!"

Many warriors on the side of the road stared at the fast-disappearing figures of Nicolas and his servants. Envy reflected on their

faces. It was certainly an honor being invited to such a meeting.

"An elite meeting? That sounds interesting."

Austin smiled as he surveyed the onlookers.

He then quietly led the queen and Nathan toward the Restaurant Aroma.

The Restaurant Aroma had been designed to look like a giant herbal pot from the outside. Over the years, it had gained a

reputation as one of the best restaurants in the Elixir City.

There were five floors in the restaurant. The higher a cultivator went, the more luxurious and expensive the service became.

The fifth floor of the Restaurant Aroma was the most prestigious place. It was rumored that a person could spend hundreds of

thousands, even millions of vital energy crystals. Most warriors could not afford such an expensive meal.

A dozen young people had gathered on the fifth floor.

They were the most elite figures of their generation in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom.

"It is really a shame. One year ago, Keyon and | agreed to meet and drink with each other here.

| still can't believe that he fell into Austin's hands. What a great shame!"

A young man held up his drink and downed it, looking sad.

"Is Keyon really Austin's prisoner?"

A man carrying a broadsword asked curiously.

"Yes, he is. | heard this from the elder of the Ghost Puppet Sect. There is no mistake,"

said another handsyoung man, who was clad in white. He emitted a peaceful aura—one that refreshed and energized all other

people around him.

He was Gerry, the Holy Heritor of the Magic Hand Sect. Everyone thought he was the most promising candidate for succession to

sect leader. His social status was unparalleled in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom.

"Austin is treacherous and cruel. It is in everyone's best interest to hunt him and kill him.

May | suggest that we pool our resources, form an alliance, and hunt Austin. What do you guys think?"

said a yellow-clad man. The voice belonged to Nicolas. Austin had bumped into him on the street earlier.

"Great idea. We can even hire the Deicide Organization and ask them to send their best hitman to kill Austin,"

another person suggested in a low voice.

Everyone else was shocked at this idea.
