At this point of time, the whole of Purple Phoenix Holy Kingdom was overshadowed by a very uncomfortable blanket of air
just as the news from demon race's invasion hit every corner of the Purple Phoenix Holy Kingdom.
Everyone, from the ministers of royal family to civilians were shaken by the news. People all over the country were preoccupied
thinking about the sthing, which was the imminent attack of demon race.
People were all jittery and nervous already. This brand new news only added fuel to all that.
The Southern Alliance army arrived in all grandeur and made the situation even more tense. They were stationed inside the Purple
Phoenix Holy Kingdom and troops had been deployed near the border.
The rumor was that a couple of small countries nearby the Purple Phoenix Holy Kingdom had fallen prey to the feared demon race.
And demon army was stationed very close to the Purple Phoenix Holy Kingdom and they were ready to attack at any moment and
destroy everything in their way.
Austin entered the Purple Phoenix Holy Kingdom and examined the place a little bit.
He learnt that the Southern Alliances Army were already positioned at the border area, preparing for the arrival of demon race.
The army was divided into five divisions and deployed to the five cities around the border area. Their positions were strategically
arranged in such a way that they could support each other easily if needed.
Austin headed for one of these border cities.
It was named the Trinary Star City.
It was a city of considerable size located near the border of the Purple Phoenix Holy Kingdom.
Austin and the queen stepped outside of the Dragon and Phoenix Chariot about three kilometers away from the Trinary Star City.
Austin collected his Dragon and Phoenix Chariot. He then activated his bodily movement skill with the queen and went towards the
front gate of the city.
"Stop right there!"
Their way was blocked by a couple of gatekeepers just as they were about to enter.
"The Trinary Star City is now the first line of defense against demon race.
Not everybody can get inside. Only warriors with cultivation base who are higher than Master Realm may enter.
This is only for the sake of your safety,"
one of the sentries informed Austin about this rule.
Austin was surprised on hearing that anyone below cultivation base of the Master Realm had been barred from entering.

But after everything Austin could see the reason why this practice made sense.
That is because only those who were above the cultivation base of the Master Realm stood any chance while fighting against
demon race. Anyone less than that would simply get killed brutally.
Austin gave the sentry a confident smile as he demonstrated the vital energy force of the medium stage of Astral Realm.
The queen also displayed the vital energy force the level of the medium stage of Astral Realm.
They had disguised their true cultivation bases on purpose to keep a low profile and avoid unnecessary attention.
"Oh | see. You two have much higher cultivation bases than | thought. You two may enter."
Those sentries let them pass without much of a hassle as they saw their cultivation bases were both of the Astral Realm.
Austin and the queen entered the Trinary Star City without any hindrance whatsoever.
The city was fully packed with warriors now. Every living being they saw was a warrior for sure.
Not a single civilian.
Clearly all civilians had been evacuated and warriors moved in. They were all preparing for the upcoming war.
The warriors who entered the city seemed to find themselves a spot for rest wherever they managed to find one so it looked a little
bit disorganized and chaotic.
A few of them just found themselves an empty house while others just occupied open areas on the sides of the road and hunkered
down for rest.
A cultivator could last days without food, drink and sleep. It was actually quite normal. The best method of rest that they needed
was simply getting shuteye and adjusting breath.
Austin and the queen wandered all over the streets for a while
and they realized a pattern.
The stronger a warrior was, the better his or her accommodation was.
Automatically a weaker warrior had an inferior accommodation.
The warriors, who rested on the side of roads, at the open plaza and other clearings where there was no roof above the heads,
were all of the Master Realm or the Astral Realm.
For those whose cultivation base was above the Tribulation Realm, they got to rest in a house. Higher the level, better the house.
The hierarchy in the city was very prominent.
Austin gave a bitter smile and shook his head in disapproval.
"Fuck off!
Do you want to die? This square is where our Thunder Sect rest. No outsider is allowed here. Move out right now you scum!"
someone screeched out in anger suddenly.
Pa! Pa!
It was as if someone was slapping someone else's face.
Not very far away, two people got thrown into the sky, and they crashed right in front of Austin and the queen.
Austin was upset by what he saw.
They were a man and a woman, both at their twenties.
"Are you okay, sister? Are you hurt?"
The man balanced himself and got up slowly. Then he hurried to help the girl up.
Austin realized they were brother and sister.
The man was slender with a long equine face and belonged to the cultivation base of the medium stage of Master Realm.
On the other hand the woman was clear in her look with a slim body and a ponytail. Overall she was very beautiful and energetic.
Right now it was clear that both of them were severely injured and blood was seeping out of the corners of their mouths.
"You guys are really out of line.
How could you hit us like that?"
The man helped the girl stand up. Seeing that she was pale and weak, the man was left fuming in rage. He shouted at those
people with his chest heaving up and down and his eyes were red in fury.
"Yeah? So what will you do about it? Kill us?"
A couple of guys ccharging towards them like an angry mob.
They were all young men in their mid-twenties. One of them was laughing vulgarly all the while taunting and sneering the two
injured ones.
"You guys do have a death wish, don't you? You showed the audacity to enter our turf and naturally we hit you. You got a problem
with that? Will you cback at us?

Furthermore | merely slapped you guys. You should be more than grateful. | could have just killed you.
Yet | don't see you thanking us for the kindness.
So | am going to need both of you to kneel down and ask for our forgiveness for your insolent behavior.
This will be a lesson for others and nobody else will dare to be disrespectful towards us after this,"
the young man in the middle who was clad in green said coldly while sternly looking at them.
"How could you..."
The man was so much in rage that he was shaking violently.
"Brother, we will not be able to combat them in any way. Let's just leave before things take a turn for the worse."
The girl wiped the blood off her mouth and pulled the sleeve of her brother and straightened his robe.
Their cultivation bases were only of the medium stage of Master Realm
and the weakest of their opponents were of the premium stage of Master Realm let along the other two of the Astral Realm. It was
definitely a tough call.
Furthermore the man clad in green was a cultivator of the premium stage of Astral Realm.
"Who said we will let you go?
Wasn't he audible? Lettell you again!
You both need to get down on your knees and apologize right now, otherwise you are not going anywhere,"
a short and unpleasant looking man said with an evil smile.
"And you two, do you wish to join them and apologize as well?
If not, then get the hell out!"
That green-clad man suddenly turned to Austin and the queen and screamed at them.
As it turned out that from the moment this brother and sister fell down on the ground until they got to their feet, they had been
right in front of Austin and the queen.
They stood their ground absolutely unflinchingly without leaving or showing any deference to the men of the Thunder Sect.
That green-clad man felt that his authority had been challenged by Austin and the queen. This made him angry beyond control.
He saw that Austin and the queen were giving out vital energy force of the medium stage of Astral Realm, which in itself was
challenge to him and his vulgar army. So he just wanted to drive them away. Had they not been a threat he would have already hit
them.
