It was the middle of the night.
There were many stars glittering in the black sky. Their lights shone down on the dark brown ground of nothing, making the scenery ahead look like a mysterious painting on a canvas, partly hidden and partly visible.
Suddenly, ahead of Austin, the scenery changed. It happened so fast. A lot of houses made of rocks appeared on the ground which moments ago was empty. Not just that, there were also many people moving around. Another thing which caught his attention was the presence of many vital energy crystal mines which also appeared on the land that was vacant moments ago.
Despite the houses, mines and people moving around, the place felt dark and gloomy. There was something insidious. The stone houses were small and short. The dark brown rocks and the vital energy crystal mines made the place look lifeless.
Far away from Austin, there were a few miners climbing up and down the mines from time to time. They had strange blank looks on their faces. They kept doing the work in a monotonous way, as if they had lost their lives and souls. They looked like empty vessels doing the work they were assigned to do.
This lifeless place was the vital energy crystal district of the Wei family in Stone City.
Austin was hiding behind a big dark brown rock that was high enough to hide a tall person. It covered him completely.
He had been able to convince Marwell and Michelle to take their people who were perfectly disguised to calmly wait for him and secretly help him from afar. He had come here alone in the vital energy crystal district of the Wei family, to get the vital energy crystals.
"It looks like I am in the right place. This must be the vital energy crystal district of the Wei f
good martial artists some time ago, they would have surely had the power to fight against the Wei family.
It was a fact that the premium stage of the Sky Realm was not that good in the whole Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom. But it was good enough for a small family in a small town to have more than ten martial artists who were at the Sky Realm.
After all, in the Violet Orchid Empire, only a few royals had been able to reach the stage of the Sky Realm.
Compared to that, in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom, two small families in a small town had more than ten people who were at the Sky Realm.
The power of a small family equaled the power of a whole empire!
That was really hard to believe.
But Austin paid no attention to their power. They were just at the Sky Realm after all. Austin wouldn't have hesitated to break in even if they were at the Imperial Realm.
A few moments later, under the light of the stars, a small figure reappeared in front of Austin. It was the gnome. He had returned, hopefully with some information.
The gnome made a few gestures to Austin, pointing at a spot which was a little far from their current position.
