"Okay, let's go. Take me to your home.
We could save the Lin Clan first and destroy the Purple Sword Sect afterwards,"
Austin said with a soft laugh.
"Are we leaving immediately?
You said we're going to save the Lin Clan and then destroy the Purple Sword Sect,
but there're only three of us. How can we do this?"
The two siblings couldn't help but stare at Austin in confusion.
For a second, they thought that what they heard was a joke!
"Of course it wouldn't be just the three of us."
Austin grinned confidently.
"I see now!
I couldn't help but be shocked by your words!
The Purple Sword Sect is too powerful and it's impossible to defeat them with just three people!
Please inform the force behind you to send out troops so we can deal with the Purple Sword Sect together.
Surely, the force behind you must be more powerful than the Purple Sword Sect, right?
Otherwise, you wouldn't be so confident and show no fear at all.
You really are our savior!
As long as you help us get through this, I'm willing to pay you back in any way, even... is fine."
A flush slowly bloomed on Maple's face and a coquettish smile pulled at her lips.
Any man would understand what she was trying to offer.
"Maple, you..."
Anxiety filled Maple's brother when he heard her words.
"Ahem! There's no need for that. My surname is Lin as well, and that's also why I'll only treat you as my sister."
Austin coughed awkwardly and quickly rejected her.
"Let's discuss this later. The most important thing right now is to get in contact with the force behind you as soon as possible and send people to help my family out.
Our headquarters has been under siege for several days already.
I have no information about the current situation."
Maple urged.
"I don't have any force behind me.
All I have is already right here.
Me and these slaves."
Austin pointed to himself and then towards the dozens of slaves behind him.
"What? Are you kidding?"
The two siblings were stunned by Austin's words again.
"You don't have a powerful force comparable to the Purple Sword Sect behind you?
All you have is yourself and these people?"
Maple couldn't contain her disappointment.
In her mind, she believed that this mysterious young man must have a powerful force suppor
However, the Purple Sword Sect's defense was air-tight,
and I think only about a hundred young disciples managed to escape successfully.
What's worse,
I got news that most of the young disciples who got away were still chased down by enemies.
In short, the situation isn't good,"
an old man in grey, whose eyes were full of sword radiance, stood up and reported dutifully.
No one in the hall made a single sound for a long moment as they tried to digest his words.
"Alas, is there really no escape from this battle?"
An elder eventually let out a heavy sigh.
"Do you have any news about Maple and Gregory?"
After another moment of silence, Garth asked another question.
"They successfully escaped two days ago;
as for whether they escaped the Purple Sword Sect's chase or not...
I haven't received any news yet,"
the old man in grey replied.
"Leader, what should we do next?"
a charming middle-aged woman asked.
Although she was quite feminine, her words and behavior were also valiant and heroic in bearing.
"Try every means to send out our clan's young disciples.
They're the bloodline and hope of our family to rise again in the future.
As for us old guys, let's just think on our feet.
The Purple Sword Sect is much stronger than our clan.
We are no match for them at all.
Therefore, everyone should prepare themselves.
Once the battle begins, let's all run away as far as we can. Don't pick a fight you can't win."
Another heavy sigh left Garth's lips as he issued his order.
