Chapter 3126 The Luxurious Lineup

After the order from the primary priest was disseminated, the armed and mercenary groups from the western martial arts world, Middle Asia, Middle East, and the rest of the world were all intrigued.

The order stated that anyone who could stop and kill the easterner named Austin Lin would obtain a generous reward of five billion dollars.

The news spread like wildfire in the underground world.

A grand sum of five billion dollars—

this bounty was extremely enormous and attractive.

Even if the task was almost impossible, with the extravagance of the reward, there would always be people who would be willing to take the risk.

As a result, even the weaker armed and mercenary groups began to take action, only focusing on the prize that they could acquire.

Austin's route and location were made public by the Novel Court. All relevant information about him was also released and could be checked through secret websites in the underground world.

With this, Austin became a top-class moving target of the armed forces.

Countless armed men, mercenary groups, even anti-government factions, terrorists, and all kinds of forces were tracking Austin down.

They prepared all kinds of weapons to deal with him—advanced artilleries, bazookas, armored vehicles, and other destructive weapons.

There were about hundreds of thousands of armed men who readied and waited for the opportunity to kill Austin.

The reward of five billion dollars was just one of the means used by the Novel Court to try on killing Austin off.

They had also manipulated other methods to invite the most powerful cultivators from the western martial arts world.

In an ancient castle, a secret dwelling could be found.

Inside the spacious basement of the castle, more than a dozen of thick red candles were brightly burning, giving a surreal and gloomy atmosphere.

At the center of the basement was a dark red coffin made of luxurious woodwork.

"My lord, on behalf of the primary priest of the Novel Court, I have come to request you to intercept a certain heretic from the east. This man's name is Austin Lin."

A holy knight knelt in utmost respect in front of the coffin.

"Humph! What are those masters in your Novel Court doing? Why would you even ask for my help?"

a cold voice responded from inside the coffin.

"Please allow me to explain, my lord.

There were so many people in our Novel Court that were already killed by this evil heretic—including a huge number of ancient holy knights that exist

tions of the Novel Court to capture him.

"Heh? It seems like the senior leaders of the Novel Court really think highly of me."

Austin sneered. There wasn't a hint of alarm on his face.

"Austin, do you understand the power of modern technology?

The aircraft and warships of the western countries are too powerful. Have you heard of the nuclear bomb? It represents the most powerful weapon of Earth's modern civilization.

It is said that once these bombs are unleashed, they are destructive enough to vanquish the whole world!

This kind of power is too horrifying. I don't think our warriors can fight something against this.

Do you think we should consider laying low for a while?"

The Snow-treading Old Man, the Heavenly Swordsman, the Moon Taoist, Bowen from the East Mountain Sect, and the other elders were worried about the situation they were facing and persuaded Austin to rethink his decisions.

"The nuclear bomb is truly cruel. Master, why don't we hide for a while until things become a little less intense?"

Even Yulia persuaded him.

"Don't worry. There's no need to delay the inevitable. This time, I'm going to finish off all the cultivators in the western world,"

Austin answered with a ridiculously calm smile on his face.

"Austin, you have to understand that modern technology on Earth is developing very well.

If it was the ancient times, even I could crush all the weapons, warships, and explosives with just a single blow.

However, times have changed. It would be really difficult for us to fight against these modernized weapons,"

the mountain god convinced Austin. He didn't want Austin to take a pretty huge risk.
