"You wantto escort you out of this place?
Where are you headed?
Our destination might not be the same,"
Austin asked after a brief pause.
He hesitated because he was desperate to return to the Heaven Pavilion Sect and escorting them out of here would only delay his
arrival.
Judging by Austin's recent encounters, he assumed that the demon race had already occupied many territories in the Triangle
Zone.
What's worse, the Heaven Pavilion Sect had been feuding with the Heaven Palace from the very beginning. So, Austin was worried
that the Heaven Palace would seek revenge by attacking the Heaven Pavilion Sect.
Heaven Palace had acquired countless powerful warriors and resources. Even if the Eighteen Arhats Array was activated, the
Heaven Pavilion Sect would not be able to resist an invasion by the Heaven Palace, as the demon race supported them.
"Sir, all we want is for you to escort us out of this area as the demon race controls it."
Both Winnie and Isis stared at Austin nervously.
Austin's decision would determine whether they lived or died.
Winnie and Isis did not have the power to escape the demons that were hunting them.
"All right.
I'll help you escape. Stay close to me."
Austin felt compassion for Winnie and Isis when he saw their wounds. The empathy he felt persuaded him to assist them.
Even though they had tried to kill him many times before, Austin decided to save them.
"Okay, let's move!"
Austin did not take out his Dragon and Phoenix Chariot to avoid being identified by Winnie and Isis.
Instead, Austin activated his bodily movement skill and headed for the Heaven Palace.
Winnie and Isis also used their bodily movement skill to keep up with Austin.
On their way, they encountered several demon race squads.
Fortunately, compared with Austin's power, their enemies were weak.
They battled demon soldiers and demon generals in the squads they encountered.
Killing them was a piece of cake for Austin.

Austin also released his spiritual sense to detect traces of the demon race. If he sensed a large number of demon race soldiers,
Austin would take a detour.
At last, after three days’ traveling, they left the areas controlled by the demon race.
"Well, we are safe now. What's your plan?"
Austin suddenly stopped moving.
Winnie and Isis also halted.
After thinking for a short while, Winnie made a decision. "Sir, the PrMartial World's Southern Alliances Army have already
marched across the Triangle Zone. They started the war with Heaven Palace and the demon race.
The legions instructed five squads to sneak into the areas controlled by the Heaven Palace and the demon race. They are trying to
spy on the demon race.
We agreed to join one of the squads along with our master. However, we were discovered by the demon race shortly after we
snuck in.
The demon race killed everyone in our squad except Isis and me.
Now, we intend to return to the legion's headquarters.
Thank you for saving our lives, sir.
If it were not for your help, the demon race would have killed us both,"
Winnie replied.
"l see.
Well, now that | have escorted you safely out of that area controlled by the demons, | shall leave,"
Austin said with an indifferent expression.
Without waiting for Winnie and Isis to reply, Austin activated his bodily movement skill as he prepared to leave.
"Sir..."
Isis who had been studying Austin intently, gritted her teeth and let out a soft cry.
"What's the matter?"
Austin halted.
"Sir, you look just like a person with whom I'm familiar..."
Isis said after a short hesitation.
After hearing this statement, Winnie frowned and turned her gaze toward Austin.
Austin was a bit surprised by Isis's hunch. How could she recognize him?
"You must have mistakenfor someone else. | shall leave now."
Austin left with no further hesitation.
A tinge of disappointment coursed through Isis as she stared at Austin's back.
"Isis, doesn't this man remind you of Austin?"
Winnie asked after Austin had left.
"Yes, he does!"
Isis let out a soft cry.
"When he was fighting with the demon race, | noticed that his thunder sword skill was just like Austin's.
Also, he speaks just like Austin.
Besides his appearance, this man is similar to Austin in many other ways."
Winnie winced when she learnt the fact that Isis also found their savior quite familiar.
"Winnie, do you think this person was Austin?
If so, why did he save us? We tried to kill him many times,"
Isis voiced her doubts and questions.
"It's hard to say. Perhaps it's just a coincidence? There are so many people in the world. It won't be surprising if speople look
alike.
Austin obtained many archaic weapons from the ancient master's palace. He is more likely to be hiding somewhere. Countless
jealous warriors will be hunting him.
We are probably wrong.
By the way, do you still hate Austin?"
Winnie asked.
"I don't know..."
Isis’ eyes were filled with bewilderment.
She used to hate Austin and wanted to kill him every tshe thought of him.
However, she soon developed complex feelings for Austin.

"Okay, let's put this behind us.
We better get going.
We might still cacross members of the demon race here. We are not far from their domain."
So Winnie and Isis activated their bodily movement skill and left.
After disappearing from Winnie and Isis' sight, Austin took out his Dragon and Phoenix Chariot.
He had spent a lot of thelping the girls. Now, he needed to return to the Heaven Pavilion Sect as quickly as possible.
Had Austin not met Winnie and Isis, the Dragon and Phoenix Chariot would have already brought him to the Heaven Pavilion Sect.
Instead, he had spent three days flying along with the girls, just because the Chariot might expose his true identity.
After ten hours in the Dragon and Phoenix Chariot, the Heaven Pavilion Sect cinto Austin's sight.
Austin released his spiritual sense to assess the situation in the Heaven Pavilion Sect.
Everything seemed to be normal inside the Heaven Pavilion Sect. Everyone was doing their own business in an orderly way.
Austin let out a breath of relief.
It seemed that the Heaven Pavilion Sect was safe during his absence.
Austin put away his Dragon and Phoenix Chariot and
activated his bodily movement skill. Now that he felt assured of the sect's safety, Austin could comfortably fly toward the Heaven
Pavilion Sect's headquarters.
Just as Austin was about to reach the gate, he heard a shout.
"Who's there?
Nobody is allowed to enter the Heaven Pavilion Sect without permission."
A dozen people stopped Austin in the sky above the gate.
"It's me,"
Austin replied. A sense of foreboding filled Austin when he did not recognize the guards.
Austin knew all the guards of the Heaven Pavilion Sect. But these people were strangers to him.
They did not even seem to be members of the Heaven Pavilion Sect.
Was it possible that the Sect Supremo had replaced all the guards?
"How dare you?
You are not allowed to trespass in the Heaven Pavilion Sect no matter who you are.
Leave now. Otherwise, | will show no mercy,"
one of the guards warned Austin. He seemed to the leader of the guards.
