Chapter 387 This time, I admit defeat.
He watched as the Forebearer\'s Psychic Position rose, and the black mist that formed the Forebearer gradually appeared before it!
"Forebearer, your child greets you!" Benjamin called out repeatedly.
Ethan, floating in the air, stepped on the Twin Fish Harmony Seal and slowly turned his head to look at Benjamin.
With a wave of his hand, he sucked the Storage Ring on the altar into his hand.
Benjamin, now several miles away, heard Ethan\'s voice transmission, "Child, your task is complete. Leave quickly. I await your growth."
"Yes, Forebearer!" Benjamin\'s face was full of joy.
The Forebearer had praised him!
In the blink of an eye, the Forebearer had disappeared.
Not daring to delay, Benjamin quickly left.
Meanwhile, in Austin\'s courtyard within Kylin Mountain, the Heavenly Path Venerable\'s projection looked grim.
He had seen it – the figure in black mist, wielding a spear and stepping on the Twin Fish Harmony Seal, the same one that had appeared in Glory City, had returned!
This guy was an enigma.
Like the unkillable Lord of Frenzied Blood, even if he was killed, he would reappear the next moment before that strange Psychic Position.
It was because of him, the Lord of Frenzied Blood, and those powerful Blackwood Rising Stars that the Heavenly Path Venerable was so eager to wipe out this strange family!
At this moment, Austin was afraid.
He suddenly understood.
Everything that had happened on Amber Hill in the imperial capital, the explosion at Radiant Sky Grotto, the appearance of the black mist figure and the Lord of Frenzied Blood – it was all part of Blackwood\'s plan.
Perhaps he was Blackwood\'s true target!
Like Brody, he didn\'t want to be a sacrifice.
He also wanted to be the final victor!
As he hesitated…
Austin felt it – the black mist figure was staring at him!
And the next moment, the black mist figure spun the Twin Fish Harmony Seal and instantly appeared in his courtyard.
What made Austin\'s face change color…
…was that there were nearly a thousand caged birds in this courtyard, and the black mist figure was precisely holding the cage where Edward was trapped.
He had clearly set up all sorts of protections, but he was still discovered by this black mist figure, and even the formations… the black mist figure had precisely broken through them!
One by one, the cages were opened, his formations destroyed by the Twin Fish Harmony Seal.
In that instant, the caged birds opened their bright eyes and slowly walked out of their cages.
The black mist figure\'s voice was faint.
"Austin, Heavenly Path."
"I heard you like to collect Rising Stars from all over the world. But guess what they want to do most when they\'re released from their cages?"
Looking at the angry eyes of the caged birds…
The Heavenly Path\'s body trembled.
At this moment, he understood.
From the moment Chuck broke through, Blackwood\'s true target… was him!!!
…
"Coo! Chirp!"
In the courtyard, cages were opened one after another.
Within Kylin Mountain, the battle raged on.
The demonic energy of the Lord of Frenzied Blood, the psychic powers and natural energies of the Kylin Mountain Roberts\' Psychics, and the ice shards unleashed by the giant Kirin illusion were a magnificent sight.
These caged birds were all Rising Stars imprisoned by the Heavenly Path Venerable.
They could also sense the extraordinary nature of the black mist figure who had entered the back mountain.
This black mist figure was also their savior.
They had long since chosen to fly behind Ethan, glaring at Austin.
The cages and formations that had imprisoned them were crumbling, and soon they would break free!
Austin could clearly feel the surging anger of these caged birds.
The Rising Stars he had imprisoned and toyed with for so many years wanted nothing more than to drink his blood and eat his flesh!
But Austin still didn\'t dare to move, because…
…in the black mist figure\'s hand, a translucent cube appeared.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
Within the cube, black gas swirled.
Austin clearly remembered that when he broke into Glory City that day, a Basic Mastery projection had died at the hands of this thing!
"You wouldn\'t dare use it!" Austin\'s expression was calm, as if the release of his prized caged birds did not anger him.
But the fists in his sleeves were clenched tightly.
This did not prevent the fear from showing between his brows.
He said to Ethan in a deep voice, "I know your purpose. You want to release the Rising Stars I have imprisoned all these years. You are very close to me. If you dare to use that thing, Edward will die, and so will these Rising Stars!"
Ethan didn\'t say a word.
Austin took a deep breath, slowly closing his eyes, afraid that Ethan would see the resentment and anger in him at that moment.
"This time, I admit defeat. You\'ve achieved your goal. Now, get out of Kylin Mountain."
The wind from the psychic battle swept through the back mountain courtyard, causing the black mist around Ethan to crackle like flames.
After a long while, he said leisurely, "You\'re too naive. You think I went through all this trouble just to save Edward and these Rising Stars?"

Seeing that Austin remained motionless, as if certain that neither of them could do anything to the other…
Ethan slightly lifted Edward\'s cage and smiled.
"Edward, tell him, if you could kill his projection, would you be willing to die for it?"
Then he looked at the caged birds behind him.
"Are you afraid of death?"
"Coo! Chirp!"
Edward beat on the cage, and the caged birds couldn\'t suppress their anger after years of imprisonment.
They expressed their determination to Ethan!
"What exactly do you want?!" Austin finally opened his eyes, his expression furious and fearless.
"Ant, don\'t think that you can threaten me on my territory just because you have a trump card! My other projections in Sunshine Mansion already know what\'s going on. They\'re on their way here!"
"It\'s precisely because they\'re on their way here that you should be even more afraid."
Ethan snorted.
"I\'m very interested in that Kirin illusion of your Kylin Mountain, and your treasury."
"You…"
…
At this moment, within Sunshine Mansion, Heavenly Path projections were rushing from all directions at their fastest speed.
They could even see what was happening in the courtyard of Kylin Mountain, and their eyes gleamed at the sight.
In the sky, two Basic Mastery projections gathered.
But neither of them said a word, and smiles appeared on their faces as they deliberately slowed their pace.
If they could, they would be happy to see Austin suffer.
If Austin, those Rising Stars, and that black mist figure from Blackwood could all perish together in Sunshine Mansion, it would be the best outcome for them.
Their troubles would be solved, and the power Austin possessed would be divided among them!
In the courtyard…
Ethan and Austin were clearly aware of this, but Austin couldn\'t understand why Ethan wasn\'t the least bit anxious!
He listened to Ethan\'s demands, looked at the caged birds that were slowly recovering, and said through gritted teeth, "The Kylin Heavenly Crystal is in my treasury. I advise you not to waste time, otherwise the people you want to save will not escape!"
A token appeared in Austin\'s hand.
He threw it to Ethan and disappeared.
However, what made Austin\'s face turn ugly was that after the token was thrown to Ethan, Ethan actually found his treasury with ease and looted everything inside!
