This current situation was totally absurd! So much so that Austin couldn't help but give both Colin and Jason a piercing glare.
He gave them a mocking smile. "What was that just now? The Southern Alliances Army leaders will punish me?
Do you hear yourself when you speak?
Do you honestly not remember what you did? Must | remind you?
You were the one who ran away from the battlefield. Now, you cback here and accuseof betraying the Southern Alliances
Army.
You've got no right to put the blon me.
| believe the leaders will be fair. I've no doubt that they will punish the real traitors.
You should get lost!"
Austin smirked.
"Rascal,"
Elder Jason of the Thunder Sect huffed.
Colin's eyes darkened in fury at Austin's words.
He breathed heavily and tried to contain the all-consuming rage that threatened to spill out of him.
What Austin said just now was true. During the battle, over ten thousand cultivators had seen him flee.
He was so enraged. He knew what Austin said was technically correct, but he couldn't just let the insults pass.
He looked up at Austin in fury. "Such an eloquent man! It seems you're very talented at framing people."
Colin lifted his chin up high, as if he was an upright general rather than a traitor who had deserted the battlefield. "I'm still the
commander here. I'm going to lock you up because you colluded with the demon race. The superiors will punish you accordingly!"
With that bold declaration, Colin suddenly charged at Austin with extraggression!
However, instead of dodging, Austin merely stood still.
"Swoosh!"
There was a flash of dark light as a demon suddenly stood in front of Austin, protecting him from his charging opponent.
"Boom!"
In a loud sound of explosion, Colin was forced to fly backwards.
He was sent around a thousand meters away by the demon. Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth and it took him quite a
while to steady himself.

His eyes were full of shock as he tried to put together the events of what just happened.
He pointed an accusatory finger at Austin. "I knew you were a traitor! You colluded with a demon.
Tellhonestly, what's your mission? What do you want from us?"
Colin shouted in a crazed voice.
"I will not repeat myself twice: go away!"
Austin said threateningly.
However, Colin wasn't going to back down so easily. "Look everyone! Austin connived with the demon race and the evidence is
strong.
| command you to take him down!"
Colin ordered.
There was dead silence after Collin issued his command. All cultivators in the Trinary Star City merely stood there as the
confrontation between the three unfolded.
Nobody really knew what to do. All they knew was that they weren't going to follow Colin's order. Nobody was willing to put Austin
behind bars anytsoon.
"Are you kidding me? Are you all siding with the demon race now?" Colin scoffed in disbelief.
His words did nothing but to earn him even more animosity with the other cultivators. 'This mysterious demon showed up and
saved forty thousand of our companions. It destroyed those demon saints and won us the war, ' everyone thought.
For the cultivators, they considered the mysterious demon with Austin as their ally and companion already.
They looked at Colin with contempt in their eyes.
'He is a master of the Holy Realm, but now he is being unreasonable, ' the cultivators couldn't help but sigh.
The defiance was clear on their faces as they all finally stood up against Colin's tyranny.
Austin couldn't contain his rage and shouted with a booming voice. "Are you deaf?
Get out of here
or I'll show you no mercy,"
he shouted.
Colin was currently at a loss, not really willing to accept what was happening. He looked at the cultivators before him and refused
to acknowledge the clear defiance in their eyes as they looked at him.
There was contempt and anger that lingered behind their eyes and that was when he knew that he no longer held any power over
them.
Without admitting his defeat, Colin with all arrogance said, "Humph! Great. That's great. This isn't over.
Just wait and see. | will show you what I've got." He cast Austin a resentful stare.
He waved his sleeve furiously before flying away like a flash.
Upon seeing Colin fly away, the dozens of cultivators who accompanied him also hurriedly took their leave.
"Sir... as for what happened..."
Clark said hesitantly, before walking towards Austin.
Austin nodded his head. "I'll just let it go,"
he said, interrupting the rest of Clark's words.
He then turned to the rest of the men in the air. "Guys, thank you for trustingand | won't let you down.
| swear that | will continue to fight beside you, and eliminate all the demons that will cour way,"
Austin said to all the cultivators surrounding him, cupping his hands.
He was touched with the cultivators when they defied Colin's order to capture him.
The event that transpired made him slightly excited.
Being recognized by so many people gave him a sense of achievement. As a young man, Austin couldn't help but feel proud of
himself.
"Commander Austin, Commander Austin..."
All the cultivators in the city loudly cheered Austin's name.
The glee in their voice shook the sky and the earth.
Even people from hundred miles away could hear them.
The people's voices reached Colin's ears even though he was dozens of miles away from Austin. The sound of their cheering
infuriated him.
He paused in his tracks and trembled in white-hot fury. ‘That position was mine, but Austin took it away from me."
Rage consumed all of Colin's being. The madness that crept through his veins made him feel as if he was about to explode.

Colin murmured under his breath with a sinister look on his face.
He dashed forward without looking back.
Austin, together with the queen returned to the castellan's residence.
"Looks like they think highly of you," the queen smiled and praised him.
There was an unusual expression in her eyes as she looked at him.
She had known Austin for quite stand she knew he was no ordinary man. He had a set of special qualities that made him
stand out from the rest.
"Master, you were very cool today!
How do you feel?"
Violet's cheerful voice rang out in Austin's Soul Sea.
"He must feel fantastic now. Can't you see that he's in such a good mood now?"
the gnsnorted.
"Con, guys, stop teasing me.
Being the commander is no child's play.
| will definitely get a lot of work to do,"
Austin reminded them but the happiness was evident in his tone.
He and the queen sat down to get srest in the hall.
Moments later, he got two visitors—Clark and Brandon.
They saluted respectfully at Austin and showed him the object in their hands. "Sir, we found these in the battlefield.
These are at your disposal,"
Clark said, as he handed dozens of Space Rings to Austin.
"What?"
Austin was surprised.
He then took all the rings, and then used his spiritual sense to check their contents.
Austin couldn't help but gasp! Inside the rings were vital energy crystal, herbs, elixirs, pills and various magic treasures.
These cultivation resources were important to all cultivators.
