"From this moment on, the Sword Cosmos is under the ruling of the Curry Sword Sect.
If any of you dare to object to this, I will return and handle you as I deem fit. In fact, I may decide to destroy the whole clan."
Austin's voice from the message he had left in the ancestral land of the Xi'men Clan echoed loudly for a long time.
For a moment, everything in the ancestral land of the Xi'men Clan was dead silent because no one dared to say anything.
Although Austin had left, his power still haunted them.
"We are safe now!"
"Leader, Austin finally left!"
a few members of the Xi'men Clan cried out in joy.
The leader of the Xi'men Clan and the six governing gods, however, looked sullen. They watched Austin's retreating back and they didn't respond to their people.
They were not reconciled at all.
In fact, what Austin had said irritated them deeply.
'Is there really no other options for the Xi'men Clan apart from handing over the ruling power of the Sword Cosmos?' they all wondered, scratching their heads.
Unfortunately, if they acted,
Austin would return and his fighting power would overcome all of them.
"Austin has left the ancestral land of the Xi'men Clan!"
"Yes! And he agreed to that mysterious woman's request. He let the Xi'men Clan go!"
"The woman! She was the one who saved the clan!"
All throughout the Sword Cosmos, countless creatures were talking about the event.
"Will Austin take down the remaining two major forces in one go?"
"Can you guess which force Austin will attack next?"
"The Sky Sword Sect or the Long Sword Sect? I'm so curious! I can hardly wait!"
The creatures in the headquarters of the Xi'men Clan were also gossiping after Austin's departure.
Meanwhile,
in the headquarters of the Sky Sword Sect,
all the senior members of the Sky Sword Sect were gathered in a magnificent conference hall.
"Leader, the Flying Immortal Sword Sect is not allowed out of their headquarters.
And it seems that the Xi'men Clan have stopped fighting Austin too.
Out of the four major forces, only the Long Sword Sect and our Sky Sword Sect are left.
It will be more difficult to deal with Austin with only two of us,"
a senior member of the sect informed the leader, looking very worried.
"You
.
"Since you all agree, we should move now.
Tell everyone to pack up and leave as soon as possible.
Remember, Austin is greedy. Try your best to take all the valuable things with you so he gets nothing,"
the leader announced.
Immediately, the rest of the group stood up and scurried off to prepare for their departure.
A few minutes later,
all the people of the Sky Sword Sect were gathered around an ancient altar.
This altar had been property of the Sky Sword Sect since the ancient times.
The sect leader and several governing gods worked together to activate the altar.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The altar shook violently, burst out strong transmission energy, and transferred all the people of the Sky Sword Sect somewhere deep into the void.
In the blink of an eye, they were all gone.
Shortly after they had left the headquarters,
Austin arrived.
"Look!
Austin is going to attack the Sky Sword Sect!"
one of the many creatures in the Sword Cosmos that were watching Austin said.
Since there were no guards to stop him, Austin entered the headquarters of the Sky Sword Sect easily.
"What? There is no one here!
What happened? Where did they go?"
Standing in the headquarters of the Sky Sword Sect, Austin was stunned. He walked around and checked every crack and crevice.
It was all empty.
What was more, there was nothing valuable that he could find.
"They escaped."
Austin thought for a while and realized what had happened. A bitter smile overtook his face.
