The three of them were eager to get in but it seemed that there was no way to open the gates now. "Aigrette Palace! What a wonderful place," murmured Austin to himself.
When Austin and his two young friends stood marveling at the grandiose building, a large number of warriors had gathered on the vast expanse of the Sand Island. As far as the eye could see, there was hustling and bustling of the crowd, which grew denser and clamorous.
Austin roughly estimated that the number of men on the Sandy Island were at least sixty to seventy thousand, if not a hundred thousand.
He reached that estimate because on the island which was nearly as big as about fifty thousand square meters, there were men everywhere, even at the most out-of-the-way corner.
It amazed Austin that so many people would come all the way to this unknown remote island. That made him realize that nobody could resist the temptation of a treasure hunt in the residence of an ancient master.
Almost all the influential groups in the South Continent of Prime Martial World, even the less stronger ones, had sent their people to hunt for treasures. It showed how all of them wanted to take their chances and acquire whatever treasures they could.
Austin reckoned that the island, which was like a haven of peace, would soon become a bloody battlefield.
"Jimmy! Look! Our family is over there! Let's go to them! I thought I would never see my family again! Oh, Austin, thank you for your help." Kimberley was overjoyed at the sight of her family.
"Yes Austin! Thank you for your help. We wouldn't have made it if it was not for you! Do you want to join us? Of course, you can join us! The elders will be grateful if they come to know that you saved us!" Jimmy was also over the moon as he invited Austin to meet the members of his family.
Austin didn't like it when someone called him by his real name because he had a lot of enemies. But Jimmy and Kimberley were innocent and always forgot about it. Though Austin had dropped a ton of hints to make them understand and avoid using his real name, but most of the time, it was of no use.
Afraid that their innocence would land him in trouble, he was compelled to refuse their offer. "No, thank you! I prefer to stay alone. Thank you for your invitation though.
Just go! Go and find your family. Be safe." Austin patted Jimmy on his back.
Jimmy looked into Austin's eyes. They seemed to be pleading. But Austin shook his head firmly and said, "Go!"
Jimmy and Kimberley knew that they couldn't persuade Austin to join them. He readily escorted them all the way to the mountain for a reluctant farewell. Austin nodded his goodbye and Jimmy and Kimberley finally left. They had gone to join the Jin Family.
Once they had left his side, Austin circled the island and touched down at the edge of the island, near the sea.
At the edge of the island, there were some beaches and coconut groves. The sea water rose high. The waves hit the shore from time to time and faded away leaving behind many seashells. The salty smell of the sea breeze blew all around. The beach was full charming and alluring.
A lot of cultivators, about three or five in each group, were scattered around. They spoke loudly with each other. Everyone was chatting with great enthusiasm.
Fortunately, they were all strangers to Austin. He could not identify any one of them. And everybody seemed to be on friendly terms.
The men, who saw Austin land down, looked at him and looked away, uninterested. They did not pay him any special attention.
Before he had landed, Austin had already released his spiritual sense. Secretly, he was surveying the entire Sand Island. Now he knew the place very well.
The center of the island was occupied by a few powerful forces, like the Jin Family and other prestigious groups.
