All eyes became fixed on Austin almost at the same time.
Over the past few months, Austin's great name became well known even among the women and children in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom.
In fact, it would be fitting to say that Austin had become the center of attention within the borders of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom.
And now that Austin was right there for all to see, everyone was naturally buzzing with excitement and curiosity.
But no matter how hard they gazed at Austin, there was technically nothing out of the ordinary to be seen on this young man. In many ways, Austin was just a warrior who could easily blend in with other warriors.
Meanwhile, about a hundred thousand miles away from the peaceful and lively Heavenly Emperor City, a cruel and harsh troop was fast approaching.
Up in the sky, the fog churned and rolled as if it were a furious dragon as men swept across the sky and vanished into the grey clouds so quickly that only their indistinguishable silhouettes were visible to the naked eye.
They were warriors who were marching while on board their own extremely fast flying magic treasures.
One of them was standing on a rapidly flying giant sword with his hands placed confidently on his back.
Another warrior was even on board a tremendous flying human skeleton.
One warrior, on the other hand, chose a more conventional means of transportation -- an enormous flying war chariot.
As it turned out, they were actually a group of shockingly powerful and immensely fierce warriors. And the terrifying truth was that they were heading for the Heavenly Emperor City.
"Guys, listen up. I have some big news. Guess what? I have just received a message from our sect elder through an arcane spell. I have to say, Master Li truly is a brilliant foresight-teller. He got everything right, after all.
It's said that Austin, the bloody thief, has shown himself a
trength, Austin had also taken as many as dozens of thousands of their own men as hostages.
"Austin! I have been waiting for you! I have been waiting for you for so long," said someone through clenched teeth. "Yeah, that's for sure. I am also giving you a very 'warm' welcome on behalf of the Heavenly Emperor City. Do you feel like staying here forever?"
It was extremely apparent that Austin holding several dozens of thousands of their families and friends had aroused wrath from the entire public in the area.
"Yeah! Stay dead forever!"
"Kill Austin! Kill Austin the Evil!"
"I want to kill him myself!"
"Kill Austin!"
"Kill Austin! Let's do it together! He is way outnumbered by us, so we can do it if we stick together!"
The crowd was in a dangerous state of emotional turmoil. If it escalated into something worse, Austin and his friends were sure to be in some serious danger.
There were only two men on their side after all. And those two men already included Austin himself.
On the other hand, the eleven sects and clans had assembled a crowd of about several thousands of warriors.
Though most of which who hemmed them in were from miscellaneous troops, there were also thirteen Primal Holy Realm masters who completely surrounded them.
