Despite working together, the eight governing gods of the Long Sword Sect couldn't defeat Austin. They even lost one member, and now there were only seven of them. What was worse, they all got injured.
Winning against Austin seemed so far-fetched.
"There's no way we can win this.
Retreat!" the leader of the Long Sword Sect ordered.
Wasting no time, the seven governing gods and the others from their sect fell back and bolted away.
They headed towards a remote place situated in the depths of the headquarters of the Long Sword Sect.
The area was full of energy and laws, and it was even shrouded in dazzling light.
It was the most important place for their entire sect—the sacred altar.
"Hurry! We have to reach the sacred altar before Austin finds us!"
Although the leader of the Long Sword Sect sent this message to all the members through his spiritual sense, it was evident that he was getting really frantic.
The altar had a myriad of defense arrays, defense magic treasures, all kinds of lands of danger, and lands of death. It was almost impossible for outsiders to enter.
Even governing gods might have trouble barging in.
"Whoa! Look!
The people of the Long Sword Sect are retreating!"
The creatures watching in the distance were all stupefied.
'Are they retreating?! Is this for real?!
How the hell did that happen?
They're fighting a young man, right?
He's just a genuine premium-grade divine god, yet he forced such a powerful sect to retreat! You've gotta be kidding!' the creatures thought to themselves.
They were all pretty shaken up.
"That guy is too powerful!"
"I know! Austin has totally made a name in the Sword Cosmos.
I don't think he would ever be forgotten here."
"Such a fighting record is unprecedented. This fight will definitely be written in history."
"This young man had battled a super force all by himself! He is indeed a legend!"
"Have you seen that?
He has even taken that governing god as his prisoner!"
Discussions among the crowd filled the air.
They fixed their eyes on Austin and watched him in disbelief.
"Humph! You're not going anywhere!"
Faced with the retreat of the Long Sword Sect, Austin was left speechless
s were ordinary divine gods, and there were even a few genuine divine gods.
At this point, all of them began to take action. They split up in groups and collected all valuable treasures that they could find.
"Keep your eyes wide open. Don't miss anything useful and precious.
We are going to bring all of those back to our headquarters,"
Austin reiterated.
"Yes, master. We understand," the slaves replied.
They did their best to find anything precious in every nook and cranny as they were told.
"What the hell..."
In the distance, the creatures who were watching this scene were rendered speechless.
Just a minute ago, they clearly saw Austin as an invincible legend. However, his actions afterward showed his greedy side.
"Sons of bitches! Stop it!"
Inside the sacred altar, the seven governing gods of the Long Sword Sect felt extremely pissed off as they witnessed how Austin and his slaves were looting the area.
Actually, the most valuable things of the Long Sword Sect were kept inside the sacred altar.
However, there were still a lot of treasures lying around their headquarters. As a major force that had ruled the Sword Cosmos for so long, it was just natural for them to accumulate tons of fortune which were beyond measure. It could be safely said that every treasure in their possession would be considered of great value.
After all, for major sects like the Long Sword Sect, they would not store any useless items in their headquarters.
