Chapter 2798 Enter The Ancient Forbidden Land

"The world is changing. We should already change and try to blend in, or else, we will fall behind,"

Murray said while displaying an amiable smile.

"Leader Austin, pardon my intrusion. I've decided to join the Flame Holy Land on behalf of the Sun Sect. I hope you don't mind,"

another figure declared with politeness in his tone.

It was Theon, the current leader of the Sun Sect.

Besides Theon, all the core members of the Sun Sect were present and stood behind Murray.

'This must be for the Sun Sect. Theon wants an opportunity for growth and development for himself, the senior members, and the whole sect itself.

Otherwise, Murray would not have come here himself to Flame Holy Land. That's just not like him, ' Austin brooded over.

The people of the Flame Holy Land knew that Austin was a former member of the Sun Sect. With that in mind, they showed them a warm welcome and avoided offending them.

"The truth is, I'm flattered. I didn't expect that you think so highly of us. Everyone is welcome and I know that you are going to be of great help,"

Austin replied with an assuring smile.

Austin would never say no to matters like these. The bond he formed with the Sun Sect would always be there. Besides, it was within his interest that Murray became a member of the Flame Holy Land.

"I'm very glad to hear that, Leader Austin!"

Theon wasn't able to hide the excitement on his face.

In Theon's mind, the Sun Sect was not worthy enough to deserve Austin's attention. So joining the Flame Holy Land was a long shot, but an opportunity he did not want to miss.

Austin, being a man that he was, would be more than willing to accept the Sun Sect for old times' sake.

"Long time no see," a female voice whispered from Austin's back.

A graceful lady appeared and stood in front of Austin, staring at him.

"How do you do?"

Austin addressed with a smile on his face.

It was Mindy.

She was a long-time friend of Austin, and they had a bit of history together.

Back then, they shared a romantic moment at the bottom of an old well. Austin sure cherished that memory.

"I guess we'll be working together as fellow disciples once more. It's so nice to see you again," Austin said in a playful tone.

He offered his hand as he gazed at her intently.

"S-Stop teasing me.

I'm just a nobody compared to you,"

Mindy snapped and was flustered because of embarrassment.

"What are you talking about? You're the best companion I had. That's why I'm de

t girl must have sneaked out again and been spotted,"

Austin murmured.

Rosie loved hanging out outside. She just couldn't let herself be stuck in a place for a long time.

However, she was a valuable omnipotent herb.

Once outsiders caught a glimpse of her, they would do every possible means just to catch and possess her.

Austin swiftly moved and landed in front of Rosie and her companions to block their way.

"Oh no! There's an enemy ahead of us too. We're surrounded!" Rosie shouted in panic.

Every one of them turned pale at the sight of the young man who got in their way.

They already felt so exhausted since they were pursued by a huge number of creatures since earlier.

And now, someone was able to catch up to them. Hopelessness and despair started to consume them.

Omnipotent herbs like them did not have good fighting skills compared to other races.

"L-Let's fight him together!

We'll all die anyway if we do nothing, but we can't let these greedy invaders just get what they want!" Rosie stood up, tried to overcome her own fears, and encouraged her friends.

Her words sparked courage to her companions, and they started pulling themselves together. They mustered up all their remaining strength and charged at Austin.

"Are you serious, Rosie? Can't you remember the face of a dear friend?" Austin asked.

Since he was terrifyingly powerful, he stopped their movements just using his mind.

"What did you just say?" Rosie tried her best to collect herself as she stared at Austin's face. She fell silent for a few seconds, then her eyes suddenly grew wide.

"Austin Lin?

It's you!"

Rosie finally recognized him.
