"We are walking into a trap." Inside the Crystal Cave were vital energy crystals which should be turned over to the Sky Sect. For the Wei Clan, they were much more important than human life.
The Sky-realm warriors of Wei Clan were shocked. They used their bodily movement skill and rushed towards Austin's direction without hesitation.
Austin had been using his spiritual sense to monitor the battle area. As soon as the warriors moved, Austin instantly sensed it, found their location and ordered his six scorpion-tailed leopards to stop them.
Once the six scorpion-tailed leopards received orders, they left the Wei Clan's disciples whom they were attacking and rushed to intercept the eight Sky-realm warriors, stopping them from moving further towards Austin.
Among the eight warriors, there were three individuals that were at the premium stage of the Sky Realm, four were at the medium stage and one at the preliminary stage.
However, the six leopards were also powerful since they were at the premium stage of the Sky Realm.
The two sides were well matched in strength.
The six scorpion-tailed leopards moved their bodies, as fast as lightning. The two sides were soon engaged in a gruesfight.
The eight warriors were strong and weren't afraid for their safety, they would, therefore, hold off an attack for quite a while.
However, it was difficult for them to break through a blockade created by the six scorpion-tailed leopards.
"Clan Leader, what should we do? | don't think we can kill the six leopards quickly. They're great at fighting and we can't pass through.
Will we do nothing while our enemy breaks into our Crystal Cave? Those things inside are the lifeblood of our clan." Anxious and desperate, a young warrior of the Sky Realm, shouted at his leader.

We have set other means of defense inside the cave. If it's the people from the Meng Clan that broke in and assaulted us, | don't think they have the strength and the wisdom to steal those crystals from us." The Clan Leader calmed down first. He stretched out his giant palm of vital energy and hit a leopard on its head. It felt the sharp pain and had to move back a few steps.
"Oh? Have you set other traps inside the cave? Leader, can you tell us which kind of traps you have set? We are all eager to hear what you have in place." Another impatient warrior asked while attacking the beasts with his vital energy.
"I'll tell you straight up! Recently, my father entered the Imperial Realm. At this moment, he's waiting there and guarding the crystals.
Ha-ha. | believe those intruders must cfrom the Meng Clan. If | guessed right, Marwell and his partners are working their way into the cave right now.
However, if they manage to break through and go inside, they will find a master of the Imperial Realm waiting for them, | can't even imagine what will happen to them," said the Clan Leader, with a wry smile on his face.
He really felt proud of his father making such a breakthrough and entering the Imperial Realm.
"Well done. Congratulations. It's such a surprise to hear that our last leader has already entered the Imperial Realm." "Bravo! It's so good to know that, especially at this critical moment.
With our last leader dealing with those bastards, we will not worry anymore.
He has enough strength to defeat them easily." Hearing the current leader's explanation, the warriors relaxed and felt confident that their crystals would be safe. When the burdens on their minds were relieved, they could perform their martial arts against the six leopards more focused with fewer mistakes.
The six scorpion-tailed leopards showed their teeth and looked more ferocious. Their scorpion tails would strike more accurately and their successive attacks were more difficult to evade.
The Clan Leader was right about his father. After all, a warrior of the Imperial Realm could easily and confidently deal with a dozen warriors of the Sky Realm.
The advantage in the number of people could hardly replace the gap between the different realms.
"Haha, even God has helped us. We now have another warrior of the Imperial Realm fighting for us and guarding our safety.
Finally, we can conquer the Stone City, with no rivals." The old elder with white beards and hair looked really excited. He used his own unique skills and repeatedly attacked the beasts with zeal. He hit one leopard with so much force, forcing it to retreat.
Austin followed the gnome's advice and passed through the entrance of the cave, he then found himself standing in a long and narrow underground tunnel.
The gnwas leading the way. He seemed to be quite familiar with the place and walked forward confidently.
"I was right to take him withfor the treasure hunt." Austin thought to himself and smiled.
A moment later, he felt sspiritual energy. It was so strong and rich that Austin couldn't help but groan. The sparkling and translucent light that suddenly appeared momentarily dazzled him.
He found himself standing in an underground spacious hall.
At the center of the hall, there were piles of vital energy crystals.
Most of the vital energy crystals were the ordinary ones.
Even so, the superior vital energy crystals also occupied a large proportion.
Austin roughly estimated that there were ten million ordinary vital energy crystals and several million superior vital energy crystals.
However, to his great surprise, an elder was sitting in the middle of the pile of crystals, cross-legged and looked as if he was meditating.
Then, the elder slowly opened his eyes and stared at Austin who had just broken into the cave. His eyes were shining and a strong vital energy force was emanating from his body quietly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe powerful oppressive force headed towards Austin.
Austin realized that the elder had already entered the preliminary stage of the Imperial Realm.
Austin had figured out his opponent's strength based on the force that he had directed towards him.
"Ha-ha! You're just a boy who recently reached the medium stage of Sky Realm.
How dare you intrude into my Crystal Cave with such an insignificant cultivation base? You're ignorant and know nothing about this world, right?" said the elder.
He smiled and relaxed his vigilance since he figured out that the young man's actual cultivation base was inferior as compared to his.
"Young man, are you a descent of the Meng Clan? Not bad. | admire the Meng Clan for having such a warrior who is as good and young as you are.
But, they made a mistake. They shouldn't have sent you to die here, alone." The old man spoke slowly as if he had the whole day.
"You're wrong. I'm not related to the Meng Clan.
But, the Meng Clan askedto take something for them.
Besides, you're too useless to killhere.
You're the one who will die here, alone." Austin said while smiling lightly. He didn't care about the elder's threats since he couldn't be a serious threat to his safety.
"Bullshit! How rude you are! Can't you show srespect to an elder whose cultivation base is much more superior to yours? | wonder where the Meng Clan found you and why they asked you to do such a dangerous and ridiculous task? Kid, be smart in your next life. Don't display such unnecessary gallantry until you have mastered enough strength. You will be a damned fool if you try to defend somebody without sufficient knowledge of your situation and strength." That elder scolded Austin for being rude, innocent and bold.
He moved his body slightly and was about to attack.
However, Austin didn't want to argue with him any longer. He patted his waist and five horrible corpse demons appeared.
