The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 143 First Hearing Of The Ghost Sect (Part Two)

The five soon learned that the celestial energy ginseng had appeared inthe surrounding area of the Grand Desolation Mountain, which led tomany cultivators rushing to the valley for it, and that some mysteriousblack-clad men also had showed up there concomitantly.

Austin, of course, did not disclose what he had done, and hid key partsof the story that involved him.

As for the whereabouts of the celestial energy ginseng, Austin said thathe only saw it was finally taken away by a fox at level three, and veryunderstandably didn't mention that the fox was Violet, who had beensubdued to him.

On hearing the news of the celestial energy ginseng, the eyes of theseElders and stewards lit up. After all, the celestial energy ginseng ofseven hundred years was also a great treasure even according to theirstandards, which would be of great aid to further their cultivation base.And when Austin talked about the mysterious black-clad men, the fivegot visibly curious. They exchanged quick glances perhaps out of sheerfright as they focused on the words pouring out of Austin's mouth."The Soul Collection Array!"

When Austin spoke of the name of the array the men in black hadarranged, the three stern and calm Elders turned pale as if they werehorrified to their very cores.

They looked at each other and saw nothing but deep fear in eachother's eyes

"The Soul Collection Array..."

"Are they the dregs of the Ghost Sect..."

"If that's the case, we are in huge trouble..." ...

The three Elders murmured and seemed to be recalling somethingscary from their memories.

“The Ghost Sect? Are the mysterious men from the Ghost Sect?"

Austin wondered.

It was the first time Austin had heard of this seemingly notorious sect.Judging by the horrified look on the faces of the three Elders, hereckoned that the Ghost Sect must have been a remarkable and evilforce.

"Do you mean those men in black have laid the Soul Collection Array tosiege the cultivators in the valley engaged in the struggle for thecelestial energy ginseng?"

Elder Li suddenly asked in an icy tone, her arms fidgeting aimlessly."Exactly, Elder Li."

Although the woman had been mean to Austin, Austin still showed duecourtesy to her, given that she was an Elder in the Sun Sect while hewas just a negligible disciple.

"Well, if they really arranged the Soul Collection Array, how did you, adisciple in the seventh level of Energy Gathering Realm, get out of thatvalley safely? Are you hiding something from us?"

Elder Li snapped, fixing her piercing eyes on Austin. Her horrifying auraof a cultivator in the premium stage of Earth Realm surged out,looming on to Austin.

Austin was startled and then marveled at how thoughtful Elder Li was!"Elder Li, I know very well that my cultivation base is low, so I had nointention to get the celestial energy ginseng in the first place. I went tothe valley just to have fun and to see what it actually looked like,"Austin explained.

"So I was at the very edge of the valley from the very beginning, anddid not dare enter the valley at all. I noticed the men in black as soon asthey emerged. I hid nearby, overheard their conversation, and knewthey were setting up an array named Soul Collection Array.

Then I sneaked away in panic. I believe those people in black may havefound me, but in order not to disturb the other cultivators and alsoowing to my low strength, they may have decided to not chase me.”Austin's words sounded perfectly logical and reasonable. AlthoughElder Li still harbored some doubts on him, she could not ask anyfurther.

"Without further ado, now that they have given themselves away, theycannot get away this time. Let's run to the valley in case they escapeagain,” Steward Xiao of the Flaming Sun Valley interjected hastily.

The rest nodded in agreement without much hesitation.

What other important fact would Austin have to say when he was just adisciple of the Sun Sect in the seventh level of Energy Gathering Realm?What he may have left out should be nothing more than somethingtrivial.

Besides, this was a matter that also involved the celestial energyginseng. If they got there in time, they might replace something. And ifthey were lucky enough to get it, it would be a pleasant surprise foreveryone.

So, the three Elders and two stewards asked Austin for the exactlocation of the valley where the celestial energy ginseng was, and thenall rushed in the direction as fast as they could, leaving Austin exactlywhere he was.

Only Murray solicitously told Austin that the surrounding area of theGrand Desolation Mountain was not safe and asked him to return tothe sect immediately before he left.

Watching the five leave hurriedly, Austin silently let out a long sigh ofrelief.

Finally, he successfully managed to maneuver through their cross-examination. .. .

In a cave in the area around the Grand Desolation Mountain

Austin and Fanny stood, sweating profusely all the while.

"Hey, why did you bring me to this cave?"

Looking at the narrow cave, Fanny was unhappy and displeased.

"I have something to do here, of course. If you don't want to stay here,just leave by yourself. The surrounding area of the Grand DesolationMountain is so wide that you can easily manage to avoid the peopleyou stole from," Austin responded impatiently.

Fanny curled her lips and looked at Austin out of the corner of her eye."So petty!" she mumbled

However, she did not leave, but looked around the cave as though shewas scanning for something specific.

Austin ignored her and continued on his own course.

He pulled a purple Illusion Bead from his Space Ring.

"Violet, you can come out now."

As soon as these words were spoken, a cloud of green smoke rose fromthe bead, and with a flash of pink light, a little fox appeared in front ofAustin.

"Aha!"

At the sudden scene, Fanny gave a scream of horror. Then she stared atViolet, open-mouthed. She had not been this horrified anytimerecently.

"Isn't this the same fox that took away the celestial energy ginseng inthe valley? What is it doing here?"

Fanny cried, covering her gaping mouth with her hand. She still couldn'tbelieve that the fox suddenly appeared in the cave out of nowhere.Violet, who had known about Fanny's existence, was amused by herstartled look.

"Master, I'm used to being in a human form.”

"It's up to you. You don't have to ask me for permission. From now on,you decide what form you take."

Austin didn't stop her because he didn't think it was necessary tointerfere with the little hobby of Violet.

Then with a flash, another cloud of green smoke filled the air, and thefox transformed into a fabulous and stunning girl.

Her gentle features curved into an attractive smile. Her lithe, slenderbody walked gracefully, and she was irresistibly charming. The wholecave appeared to be brightened by her charm.

Then Violet stretched out her hand, and in it lay a human-shaped herbwith nine rays of colorful halos. It was indeed the celestial energyginseng itself!
