Austin had already formulated his own plan, and he wanted to let his family flee, so that he could seize the high-human inheritance from under the noses of the Hale Sword Manor, and he had to do it alone. "My family has an oath with the dwarves since our founders were allies, and that is where we shall flee to ".
Elena added. Lucas and Mira had downcast expressions, and only Austin had an impassive one as he finally added, "I will stay and hide, as I am interested in the inheritance that they are after !! " Elena turned to him, shock evident in her beautiful face, but Marcus just looked at him, finally sighing, "I knew you would suggest something like that".
After two hours of arguing, Elena finally agreed to let Austin go, giving him a myriad of pills, life-saving talismans, and a communication one, after he explained and showed everything regarding his cultivation, hunting sixth-level beasts with the vouching and behest of his father, and how the Hale family didn't know about him. They bid farewell and set off to the magical beasts' domain, accompanied by Old Man Bren, whom Lucas and Mira were surprised to finally meet, while Austin left the house and headed to Rennick's shop.
He found a cracked egg with no sign of the Azure Windscale Pengling. Just as he probed around the building with his soul sense, he suddenly felt a wind blade behind his head, as he avoided it and turned, he saw a little bird with green patterned wings, perched on a beam above the building, staring at him vigilantly, "So you can control wind even hours after hatching huh, I guess you really are a descendant of the divine beast Azure kunpeng". He jumped, catching the little bird delicately in his arms, and as it tried pecking him, he laughed it off and sat cross-legged absorbing mana since he wanted to break through to the fifth level before following the Hale family intruders back to their domain and to the inheritance grounds.
A week later, four figures with swords hanging on their waists arrived at the small town, and the leading one sent his soul sense, finding that the alchemy shop was empty with no sign of life at all."How did they find out? It's only Marcus and Old Bren, and neither of them has contacts within the Ardentia Kingdom. Inform
