The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 1836

While the middle-aged man spoke, his eyes were fixed on Austin.

Besides the middle-aged man, there were about eight masters who were also at the Heavenly Grotto Realm nearby. They looked at Austin in surprise as he stood there silently.

'Damn it. What are the chances there would be so many Heavenly Grotto Realm masters here?'

Austin thought, looking into the distance as if he would find the answer in the blue sky.

'It's going to be almost impossible to defeat them if I fight or to escape with my life.

All right. I have to do something. Maybe I should go and figure out what they are up to.

After all, it doesn't look like they are planning on killing me, ' Austin decided, nodding his head.

He met the eyes of the middle-aged man and turned his face serious.

"Got it," he responded.

Then, without another word, he walked towards the entrance of the valley. His feet moved silently over the grass and even though he didn't know what he was about to face, he held his head high.

"You don't look like a stupid person to us. Did you know we are from the Crimson Palace?

The consequences will be serious if you don't listen to us," the young man warned, sneering at Austin.

Austin didn't glance over his shoulder at the young man. Instead, he kept walking.

"Quickly! Let's go and catch more people nearby."

Before taking off in the direction of the valley, the young man gestured for his crew to follow him.

'They're from the Crimson Palace. There's no way.'

Almost immediately, fear ripped through Austin.

Austin had heard a lot about the old top sects located in the Middle Pilgrim Land—enough to make his blood turn to ice at the idea of them.

The Crimson Palace was a powerful sect with a long history. There were many elders and powerful cultivators beyond what Austin could even imagine.

Out of all the sects in the Middle Pilgrim Land, this sect ranked in the top ten.

There was even a rumor that they had an Immortal Transforming Realm master in this sect.

Without a doubt, the Crimson Palace was much stronger and more advanced than any holy land or prominent clan in the East Mainland.

Austin had expected the cultivators to be impressive but he hadn't expected this. He shook his arms to rid himself of the nerves that were now present.

When Austin reached the entrance of the valley, he stopped. It was vast and mostly empty, stretching out to kiss the blue sky on the horizon. The middle-aged man who was at the Heavenly Grotto Realm glanced at him and Austin looked back.

"Find somewhere safe and stay there. Don't walk around, or you'll lose your life faster than you can breathe," the middle-aged man warned Austin.

Then he looked into the depths of the valley and said no more. It was clear that he believed wholeheartedly that Austin wouldn't even think about attempting to run away from him.

Before any of them could move, persistent screams rose from across the valley.

Since it was too far to see what was happening, Austin released his spiritual sense.

At the furthest end of the valley, purple light projected until it reached the clouds. From it, runes flew out and combined to form a large dome. It enveloped the place where the screams came from. Austin struggled to understand what was happening in the dome with the aid of his powerful spiritual sense but failed.

From past experience, Austin instantly knew that there must be priceless treasures hidden under the dome. No doubt, they would be protected so carefully that most cultivators would lose their lives trying to acquire them.

His eyes scanned over the multitude of strange beasts that were also lurking in the valley. Occasionally, they would stand still and glare at the cultivators who wanted to break into the valley.

The beasts alone would be capable of deterring thousands of cultivators.

"Master, I can sense that there are many powerful, unnoticeable arrays in the valley. The illusion is helping to disguise powerful Grand Killing Arrays.

If we enter the valley, we might get killed in those secret arrays,"

Violet said from inside Austin's Soul Sea.

"You're right, Violet. There are arrays in this valley."

Austin nodded. Using his spiritual sense, he focused harder and also found traces of the death arrays.

Two powerful middle-aged men forced a couple hundred cultivators deeper inside the valley.

The two men were at the back of the team, prodding the terrified people forward.

Around them, there were more than one hundred bloody corpses lying on the ground. Every so often, one of the cultivators would accidently step on a body and it would squish under their feet.
