he coldly warned.
The leader of the Flying Fish Sect was the first to react.
But in a way that would only make the situation worse.
Watching Austin's gaze, he needed only a fraction of a second to escape. Cautiously he picked himself up, dusted his painful knees
and without warning dashed off like an arrow.
Though he was only at the premium stage of Imperial Realm, apparently he had practiced and perfected his movement skills.
"Zip!"
A slash of the sword chased after him, cracking with thunder and lightning.
Then the body of the leader of the Flying Fish Sect was cut into halves.
"Don't kill me, please! | will give you my spiritual orb," another cultivator in the crowd begged for his life as he was shocked by this
horrible scene.
Everyone watching was scared to death. Austin's power was so astounding. And the way he fought, they had no doubt he was
ready to kill anyone who dared to move.
But since their colleague had already failed in provoking him, the two leaders of the Evergreen Sect and the Iron Palm Sect quickly
moved to avert disaster. Leading by example, they ordered all their disciples to bind their spiritual orbs to Austin.
At the moment, there simply was no room for bargaining.
Austin loved it that way. Readily, he took their orbs and bound them under his reign.
This arcane spell was really useful.
By the the was done, he felt satisfied with himself as he looked at the forty plus cultivators he had subdued into his servants.
The only challenge was that for the spell to be fully effective, it needed the giver's consent without coercion.
"What a pity!" he said to himself.

But he also knew that if people could use it to control others' lives arbitrarily, it would cause disorder. That was not what he
wanted.
It was enough to have the spell at his disposal to subjugate his captives.
"Master!"
They knelt down before him, once again.
Eventually, they had cto sincerely regard Austin as their master.
"Well, you can get up now,"
he excused them.
"I guess you all feel bored staying in this city, right?
Don't worry. | will take you out of here soon.
| will take you go back to your familiar territories."
It brought them great relief to know that he was also a caring man.
Despite the fact that he had taken their orbs and was at liberty to mistreat them if he so wished, they couldn't hide their
admiration and respect for the way he treated them now.
Only a few minutes earlier, they had been petrified, staring at death.
"Master!
Do you mean you have found the way out of this city?"
"Master!
Is that true?"
They all couldn't hold their excitement.
Especially the three castellans and the more than twenty City Guardians who had been trapped in this city for the longest time.
"Master, | have stayed here for eighty years," one of them explained.
"That's twenty years less my stay here. | have been in the city for whopping hundred years, master. Do you mean that | still have
the chance to go out as well?" another one cut in.
"Master, are you coaxing us for fun... | don't think | have a chance in hell of ever leaving here..."
Many of the City Guardians were just incoherent.
When a cultivator broke into the stage of the Imperial Realm, his life span would be much longer than the ordinary people's.
At the stage of the Imperial Realm, a cultivator could live for at least two hundred years as along as he was not killed in battle.
As such, it was understandable that sof the City Guardians were over one hundred years old right now.
All of them looked at Austin with expectation and also excitement, although they still held sdoubts about the possibility of
escaping from the city. It was simply too good to be true.
Austin understood their feelings.
After such a long tof entrapment in this mysterious place, the thought of escaping elicited emotions that even the highest
ranking officers behaved like lowly disciples.
"Ha-ha, everyone, don't be skeptical.
| will definitely take all of you out of here soon.
Once you get out, you will enjoy living in the PrMartial World again."
Austin promised with a self-assured smile.
"Wonderful!"

"The day has finally comes!"
"It feels so unreal! Never in my wildest dreams had | ever thought I'd leave this oppressive place." "After leaving the Triangle Zone,
almost a century ago, who would have thought that I'd still go back there?
They were all extremely excited.
For sheer joy, seven cried, while others went into ecstatic celebrations.
"Well..."
Austin was speechless as he looked at his servants' excitable behavior.
"Wait, Triangle Zone?"
Austin suddenly noticed something.
"Did you say you are from the Triangle Zone ?"
he asked Tyson.
According to what Angus had told him, one of the precious special sources for his body remodeling were found somewhere in the
Triangle Zone.
But Austin had planned to find Angus's daughter before he collected the sources of the body remodeling for Angus.
But with this new information that he had stumbled on right here, he changed his plan. Now he was going to collect the sources for
Angus's body remodeling first, before going in search for his daughter.
"Yes, | am from the Triangle Zone. "
Tyson confirmed.
"Well, then our next destination will be the Triangle Zone! "
That very instant, he made the decision.
At present, it wasn't the perfect tfor him to venture anywhere near the three holy empires or to the South Continent as a
whole. So if he went to the Triangle Zone, that would be the best place to begin, even as he worked on his other short term goals.
