The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 659

After giving Marwell all the vital energy crystals that he had stolen from the Wei can's mines, Austin chose another path and went back to the Wei clan's mine area.

Marwell retreated with his group after Austin departed.

"Where are we going, our mines or the Stone City?"

Michelle inquired.

"We have to find a place to hide for three days and wait for the steward of the Sky Sect to return, then we can go back home and turn in the vital energy crystals to him.

We can send a few guards to secure and watch over the mines. Currently, our top priority is to protect the vital energy crystals that Austin got for us. Then in three days, we can hand them over to the Sky Sect.

There is no vital energy crystal left in our mines.

Even if the members of the Wei clan attack our mines, they'll get nothing.

In three days, if the members of the Wei clan don't turn in the vital energy crystals, I don't think the people in the Sky Sect will spare them.

This time, it's the Wei clan's turn. They will be finished."

Marwell replied.

"Noted. Let's return to the Stone City."

Hence, Marwell and his people went straight back to the Stone City.

… … …

Under the clan head's leadership, all the members of the Wei family kept pursuing Austin.

To confuse his enemies, Austin took many detours and walked in circles until the people of the Wei clan could not tell whether they were going west, north, east or south. When he was sure they had gotten lost, he exerted his bodily movement skill and suddenly disappeared from their sight. He reappeared at the rendezvous point he had earlier set with Marwell.

In the beginning, the people of the Wei clan were keen in their pursuit of Austin. They would follow the traces of his footsteps, but after two hours of just going in circles, they realized they had lost their target.

The clan elder of the Wei clan led his men to look everywhere for Austin in the middle of the night but found no sign of him. Disappointed and unhappy, he led his people back to their quarries and entered the basement which was used to keep vital energy crystals.

The interior was empty and a half of the crystal stones were gone, except for their former clan head who was torn up in pieces and his bones scattered all over on the ground.

"Oh no, they are all gone. If we can't turn in the vital energy crystals in three days, our clan will be doomed."

Everyone from the Wei clan was in a state of despair and anxiety.

… …

Sometime later under the guidance of the gnome, Austin arrived at the northeast corner. It was about five miles away from the Wei clan's mine area.

At the place where the gnome had mentioned, Austin saw large and lofty mountains and stone ridges with no vegetation. Everything on the ground including mud and stones was scarlet. There was no plant or living creatures here. A deathly stillness and an eerie silence engulfed the place. Anyone who came to that place instantly felt depressed.

"I see nothing special. There seems to be nothing here," Austin muttered with a frown.

He summoned Violet and gnome out.

The second the gnome got out of the Illusion Bead, it sniffed and moved on the right. Austin and Violet activated their bodily movement skills and followed the gnome.

They followed the gnome to the top of the mountain. The gnome excitedly swung back and forth around a huge scarlet rock gesturing at Austin.

"Are you saying that there is something  hidden under the rock?"

Violet asked the gnome.

Both she and the gnome were demonic beasts, so it was convenient for the two beasts to understand each other and for Violet to interpret what the gnome was saying.
