Chapter 492 A Real Master Keeps A Low-profile

"Well. It all depends on whether or not any one of you have the ability to defeat me. I am totally confident that none of you are powerful enough to defeat me. On the contrary, I am afraid that you will be killed in this fight.

However you don't be too afraid of my words for I am not going to tear your souls apart and render them useless. Soul, the most precious thing for cultivators, shouldn't be wasted. Instead, I will use them to refine the Ghost Devouring Flag.

I am sure that my Ghost-devouring Flag will upgrade to a higher level once it has absorbed your souls."

The demonic youth who had a scorpion tattoo on his face said these things in a cold tone and burst into a shrill laughter on being faced by Tolkien's aggressive manner.

Hardly had he finished his words when his right hand suddenly stretched out and very soon, a thick blanket of black smog erupted from his palm. As the smog spread quickly around him, he was soon enveloped by it in mere seconds. Now, the only thing that could give away his location was the black smog but where exactly did he lay in that smog, no one could tell.

Seconds later, a burst of vital energy force surged out of the smog and turned into the shape of a demon's paw. Anyone would have run in the face of such danger. The paw was as high as thirty meters. Suddenly, it pounced on Graham.

The evil man wanted to raid Graham unawares!

'Is that the Ghost-devouring Flag? It looks like the same black smog I faced while fleeing the Ghost Sect. It's really shameful that someone is using the Ghost-devouring Flag in this event!'

Austin felt a sudden rush of panic as he thought about this. Since the black smog didn't seem to be dissipating, he inferred that the demonic young man was most probably using the Ghost Devouring Flag.

'Can it be that they are from the Ghost Sect? Wait a minute, there are from the Ghost Sect!

It is unbelievable that disciples of the Ghost Sect have shown up in the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games!'

Austin pondered over it for a moment. His mind told him that it was highly improbable that the Ghost Sect would dispatch its disciples to take part in the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games. It was well-known that they were the archenemy of all major and minor sects in Violet Orchid Empire. Even if that wasn't enough, disciples of the Ghost Sect were not allowed to enter the Mysterious Nether World.

However, the Ghost-devouring Flag belonged to the Ghost Sect and no one else outside that sect could have controlled it. Even Austin had been taught a lesson by the Ghost-devouring Flag, and it left a vivid impression upon him. Perhaps that was why his first thought o

nses delivered by Bruce. There were visible ripples in air wherever this vital energy force went.

Austin stared in wide-eyed amazement at the battle because he was surprised at the sight of the violent and powerful spells that the two cultivators had launched. And now, these nine young men were putting on an equally powerful show.

For a long time, he had thought that he was the strongest cultivator in Violet Orchid Empire and no one had the qualification to challenge him since he had defeated everyone he had faced, even the so-called top master in his generation. But now, there were cultivators in front of him whose cultivation bases were higher than that of him and they could easily give him a run for his life. It was hard for him to accept the fact that there were several cultivators in the world who were superior to him in terms of cultivation base. How ridiculous it was that Austin had ever ranked himself the top one!

Now, he felt depressed and was stunned at the sight of this battle since these young cultivators from Violet Orchid Empire were showing him what a really powerful cultivation base looked like.

'A truly powerful cultivator keeps a low-profile! Always!'

At this thought, Austin felt shameful by his naivety and his showing off. He found it ridiculous that people like Leo, who was from the Peripatetic Sect, were titled as the "best cultivator" among the younger generation of Violet Orchid Empire. And even people like Caden, Garret, and a few others who thought so highly of themselves didn't deserve the praise they received.

Compared with the five cultivators who were at the stage of the Sky Realm, these so-called "best cultivators" were nothing and were not qualified to represent the younger generation of the Violet Orchid Empire.
