The appearance of the Veritable Demon Sect members astonished everyone who was present.
They knew that most of the Veritable Demon Sect disciples were body refiners. Body refiners were known to be short-tempered and unreasonable. The slightest disagreement in a conversation could cause them to strike violently.
"Sir, you must be Morton Lu of the Veritable Demon Sect. You cso late, but it seems you want to take the crystals first. Am | right?" Thomas said indifferently.
"Yes. I'm Morton Lu.
Who the hell are you? How dare you speak tothis way? You really do have a death wish, don't you?" Morton's eyes flashed like lightning.
"It seems the rumors are true. The Veritable Demon Sect members are indeed bossy! I'm Thomas from the Song Clan," Thomas said with a laugh.
"Oh? You're from the Song Clan? No wonder you dare to talk tolike this.
But | don't care who you are. I'll kill anyone who dares to challenge me, even if he's the emperor!" Morton snorted. He knew the Song Clan was powerful but with his hot temper, he didn't care about offending them.
"Ha! You're so arrogant! The Song Clan isn't here alone. There are also the members of the New Moon Sect, the Ghost Puppet Sect, and three other unknown sects. | wonder whether the Veritable Demon Sect will be able to defeat all of us," Thomas said.
Morton was a little surprised. He quickly glanced at all the groups that were present.
"Hmph! | already told you that even if the emperor himself is here, I'll kill him if he tries to stopfrom taking my crystals. The Crystal Mine Mountain can only belong to the Veritable Demon Sect!" Hearing that, Isis, Mark, and the Sect Leaders of the other three sects sneered at Morton. They were obviously annoyed by his arrogance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, an angry roar cfrom the distance. "Damn it! Which bastard was arrogant enough to kill the disciples of our Sky Sect? Who did this?!" Then, five figures rushed over like lightning and appeared in the air above the crowd.
They were five cultivators at the premium stage of Imperial Realm.
Everyone present knew that they were from the Sky Sect.
After the five cultivators landed, one of them said, "I'm Caspar Hu of the Sky Sect.
Nearly fifty disciples from our sect were slaughtered at the Sunset Mountain today.
The Sky Sect has been influential in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom. | was really shocked when | heard the news that so many of our disciples had been killed.
Is there anyone here from the Veritable Demon Sect?" Caspar, who headed the group of the five Imperial Realm cultivators of the Sky Sect, asked as he threw a cold glance at the crowd.
"I'm from the Veritable Demon Sect.
You think your disciples were killed by our people, don't you?" Morton replied in a loud voice.
"You're from the Veritable Demon Sect? Ha! Fine!" The five cultivators of the Sky Sect looked at the disciples of the Veritable Demon Sect with murderous eyes.
"All those disciples of our sect were killed by someone with powerful physical strength.
In the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom, can you find anyone other than the members of the Veritable Demon Sect who has such strong physical force? Hmph! Even if you're powerful in physical strength, our Sky Sect is not that easy to mess with.
You'd better explain how you're going to compensate for the death of our disciples. Otherwise..." It seemed that Caspar was sure that the Sky Sect disciples had been killed by the members of the Veritable Demon Sect.
"I just told you that we didn't kill your disciples.
If we did kill them, we wouldn't be trying to deny it.
Other sects may fear the Sky Sect, but we don't!" Morton seemed to have been provoked by Caspar's aggressive attitude.
The atmosphere grew tense, and it seemed that a fierce battle could burst out between the Sky Sect and the Veritable Demon Sect at any time.
However, at this point, a voice rang out.
"Wait! Caspar, there is actually someone in the Sunset Mountain who is not a member of the Veritable Demon Sect but has extraordinary physical strength. He's a body refiner too.
I'm guessing that he's the one who killed the disciples of the Sky Sect.
And that man is here right now!" Everyone immediately turned to the direction of the voice.
It belonged to none other than Walter, the vice Team Head of the Tiger Mercenary Team.
Austin's heart sank. He knew what Walter was going to say next.
"Oh? Who is it?" Caspar immediately growled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Who is it?" Morton echoed with curiosity. He had witnessed the murder of the Sky Sect disciples and he knew that the person who had killed them was extremely powerful in physical strength, more than most of the disciples of the Veritable Demon Sect.
When he heard that this person was in the crowd, he began to measure up everyone who was there.
But to his disappointment, he couldn't identify the person who possessed such powerful physical strength.
"Him! That guy.
He used to be a part of our Tiger Mercenary Team and he has showed his strong physical strength several times in front of us," Walter said, pointing at Austin.
"What?!" Caspar and Morton simultaneously turned to look at Austin.
But they both immediately shook their heads.
"Are you kidding? He's just a kid. How can he possess such powerful physical strength? Don't talk nonsense. Or you might get yourself into trouble!" Caspar shot Walter a glare.
On the other hand, Morton burst into laughter.
"He looks so thin and weak. | don't believe such a boy could be a body refiner." Caspar, Morton, and everyone else shook their heads in disbelief. The Tiger Mercenary Team members were the only ones who believed Walter because they had witnessed Austin using his physical strength too.
"Everyone, don't be fooled by his appearance! I'm not lying. He does possess considerable physical strength!" Walter said anxiously.
"Ha! Lord Caspar, can you believe the words of such a man?" Austin stepped out from the crowd and said loudly, pretending to be innocent.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Caspar asked, staring at him coldly.
