A women's silhouette slowly appeared above the tomb. The woman had fair skin and wore a long white dress. Like a fairy, she exuded an aloof and unworldly air.
"It's you! It's really you, Princess Gracie."
The eleven holy trees, the silver giant, the mummy, and the huge beast were elated and surprised. All of them moved towards her.
Austin could tell from all of their expressions that they had a deep bond with this Princess Gracie.
"Princess Gracie!
I haven't seen you for so long. How have you been?"
The silver giant, the mummy, and the huge beast all knelt down simultaneously.
The three of them used to serve Peterson the Taoist Ancestor, which was why they treated Princess Gracie like their master.
"No need for that. All of you can get up!" Princess Gracie ordered.
For a moment, she was lost in her thoughts.
"It's a long story," she said. It seemed that she didn't want to talk about how she had been doing.
"Who are those people?" she asked.
Her gaze swept through the people of the Divine Sect, the underworld, and the top cultivators including the leader of the Heavenly Palace. Her eyes looked really sharp as she stared at them.
"They are intruders. They're not good guys,"
the silver giant immediately replied.
"Humph! Why are you disturbing me?
Get out of here right now," Princess Gracie sternly said as she looked at the intruders.
She looked good with her hair and clothes fluttering. She was like a fairy descending from heaven.
"You're just a cloud of soul energy.
How dare you talk to me like that?" the man from the Divine Sect snapped.
He felt startled as soon as Princess Gracie appeared. But once he recognized that the woman was just a wisp of spiritual soul instead of a real person, he didn't think she could be any danger to him.
"Oh, is that so?
Even in that case, I can still handle you weaklings in a heartbeat," Princess Gracie said.
A scornful expression could be seen on her beautiful face.
"Let me see how you are going to deal with me!" the man in purple of the Divine Sect snorted as he strode forward.
The Weapon Pagoda flew out of his clothes and levitated in the sky, growing bigger and emitting colorful lights.
"Sacrifice our blood to Weapon Pagoda and take her down! Then we destroy her tomb to see what's inside it,"
the man in purple ordered.
He and the other masters from the Divine Sect patted their forehead. Just like that, streams of original blood essence came out and fell on the Weapon Pagoda.
After absorbing so much original blood essence, the Weapon Pagoda seemed to have begun waking up.
It was glowing and was giving off a dangerous vibe.
Tens of thousands of secre
rpse Array seriously.
"I want them!"
Austin and the eleven holy trees claimed them.
Both the Weapon Pagoda and the flags of the Devilish Corpse Array were incredibly powerful. No one would want to pass up on something like those.
Austin would abandon his pride when it came to valuable treasures.
The silver giant, the mummy, and the huge beast didn't say anything as they considered themselves Princess Gracie's servants.
The masters of the Immortal End World, including the Eight Stone Saints, remained silent. They didn't want to fight with Austin over the treasures.
Only the eleven holy trees and Austin were left to claim the treasures.
"This doesn't concern you. Leave us alone,"
the supreme holy tree said, gesturing to Austin to leave.
"Don't be so mean."
Austin wouldn't simply give those precious treasures up.
"I will give you the flags of the Devilish Corpse Array.
It will be easy for you to work together and set up the array," Princess Gracie said to the eleven holy trees.
"Young man, I will give you the Weapon Pagoda since you and your men protected my tomb," Princess Gracie said to Austin.
She was well aware of what had happened in the gorge.
Knowing that Austin and his people guarded her tomb, Princess Gracie felt extremely moved.
"Thank you, Princess Gracie!" Austin happily said.
He hurriedly stepped forward and took the Weapon Pagoda from Princess Gracie.
Princess Gracie had erased the spiritual soul mark in the Weapon Pagoda so that Austin could refine it and make it work for himself.
"Princess Gracie, this brat is an outsider. How could you give the Weapon Pagoda to a stranger?" the supreme holy tree retorted.
It still looked at the Weapon Pagoda with utmost admiration. Obviously it wanted the treasure badly.
