"Master, the people of the four major forces are trying to destroy all the strongholds of the Curry Sword Sect,"
one of the semi-governing gods replied.
He had become Austin's slave so he was naturally on Austin's side and regarded the four major forces as enemies.
"Master, as far as I know, there are governing gods of all the four major forces. They are the ones leading their armies as we speak,"
another slave added.
"Hmm. Okay, I see."
Austin sneered, his eyes flashing with coldness.
It was obvious that the governing gods of the four major forces were aiming to fight Austin!
The purpose of all their courses of action was to lure Austin out of the Ethereal World.
As long as Austin stayed in the Ethereal World, they couldn't do anything to him. This wildly frustrated them.
In the last battle in the eye of the Sword Cosmos in the Ethereal World, Austin had completely traumatized the governing gods of the four major forces, scaring them out of their wits.
"You are getting desperate to lure me out, aren't you?
Well, here I am. Come and get me!"
His voice remained cold but fierce.
By now, forty percent of Austin's body was filled with the great cosmos force.
As a result, his fighting power had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Knowing this, he had become keen on fighting several governing gods at the same time and testing what his powers could do.
That was why Austin decided to leave the Ethereal World.
"Master, the people of the four major forces have come to deal with the Curry Sword Cities. They are now everywhere.
We have to hurry, or our cities will all be destroyed soon,"
another slave urged.
"All of you relax. We don't need to be in a rush.
I am their target. They did all those just to lure me out.
As long as I show up, they will come to me and ignore everything else,"
reassured Austin.
"Having said that, we must now go to the headquarters of the Ximen Clan
It's time for us to settle the accounts with the four major forces,"
he then added decisively.
"Master..."
The four semi-governing gods were stunned at his words.
"Master, are you sure? Are we really going to the Ximen Clan? Their headquarters is heavily guarded, and there are several elders there who cultivate in seclusion all year round.
In addition, the Ximen Clan is known to be very powerful,"
one of them said with hesitation.
They were well aware of the Ximen Clan's strength and capabilities.
When they heard Austin deciding to go to the headquarters of the Ximen Clan, they were taken aback.
"Worry not. Jus
is the territory of the Ximen Clan. No one is allowed to come in without permission or consent!"
The middle-aged man was a genuine premium-grade divine god.
"Save your speech. We don't need to hear it. But if you don't want to die, then you'd better get out of my way,"
Austin said calmly, death flashing in his eyes.
"Go to hell! Who do you think you are?!"
The middle-aged man grew furious at Austin's arrogant words.
Swoop!
He made a move and a streak of sword-light shone brightly and slashed at Austin's head.
To anyone who was familiar, it could be seen that this middle-aged man's swordsmanship was a little similar to Austin's. It was inverted, which looked simple, but its power was equally terrifying.
The sword-light reached Austin in an instant.
But Austin didn't dodge.
Bang!
The plain sword-light hit Austin in the head.
There were blinding flash and an explosion, but Austin suffered no damage or injury.
As soon as the sword-light touched Austin's head, it dimmed down. Then it was directly absorbed and disappeared.
"What the hell?"
The middle-aged man was startled and almost fell back.
He used all his strength in that strike, but his opponent was completely unharmed without even a little scratch.
It was as if a breeze simply flew over him.
"What just freaking happened? Who the hell are you?" he asked with a flabbergasted face
as he felt his scalp tingle and a cold chill run down his spine.
He had been responsible for guarding the ancestral land for such a long time, so he didn't know much about the outside world and couldn't recognize who Austin was.
"I'm the one who came here to destroy the Ximen Clan,"
Austin replied flatly with a smirk.
