'I must take care of him immediately, ' Austin thought.
Using his spiritual sense, he noticed that the participants from the other three sects were gaining ground and were about to get rid
of the people from the Incept Sect.
Without any hesitation, he made a move against Carl.
A bronze furnace about the size of his fist got out from his body.
It grew bigger and bigger until it was a hundred meters tall.
The terrifying power kept advancing towards Carl.
The next moment, there was a deafening sound.
The bronze furnace had started to tremble, making that loud sound.
As it shook fiercely, its lid started to move.
Four kinds of fire of different colors gushed out of the furnace, causing the lid to fall.
They turned into vast seas of fire in an instant and cat Carl from different directions. There was no chance for him to escape.
Sensing the power in the seas of fire, Carl was so scared that he couldn't think clearly. He was taken aback by the attacking force.
"Oh, no!" he let out a cry of fear.
The seas of fire advancing towards him from all directions engulfed him. Within a second, he turned to dust.
Quite unbelievably, the flag had survived the fire.
It was obvious now that it was made of sspecial material which was hard to be destroyed.
Austin put away the bronze furnace. With a wave of his sleeve, the flag cdarting towards him.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
A few powerful cultivators in the deep mountains were heading in Austin's direction.
Austin activated his spatial power, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the void.
On the other hand, a disciple of the Incept Sect spoke out loud.
"Hey! Guys, why don't we cto a truce?

| guess Carl is getting to the grassland.
There is no point fighting like this.
The gis set,"
he said triumphantly.
"Exactly! We are going to be victorious. Just live with it!"
"Ha-ha. Do you still think you can win?
Give up that stupid thought. Keep your eyes open and look at the situation before you!"
The other participants from the Incept Sect cheered up and began taunting. Sof them even stopped fighting against the
members of the other three sects.
"Hmm! Let's go and stop that guy."
One of the principal disciples from the Almighty Sect moved towards the entrance of the mountains.
"Let's go!"
The cultivators from the Mysterious Sect and the Shiny Sect joined the people from the Almighty Sect.
The disciples of the Incept Sect didn't stop them. They were convinced that victory was going to be theirs. They thought there was
no need to die holding off the people from the other three sects anymore.
"Ha-ha. Let's get out of here," one of the principal disciples from the Incept Sect instructed.
He headed towards the grassland, with his companions.
Soon after that, the disciples from the four sects got out of the mountains.
They dashed towards the grassland.
"Bloody hell! | can't see the guy from the Incept Sect anywhere.
Did he really get to the grassland with the flag?"
One of the principal disciples from the Mysterious Sect was getting desperate as he did not find any sign of Carl.
"Looks like the Incept Sect will be the winner this time,"
someone sighed despondently.
"Ha-ha!
| told you, didn't 1? Carl must have made it to the grassland already.
Hmm! Indeed Carl is famous for his speed in our sect.
Now you can do nothing but accept the cruel fact."
The disciples of the Incept Sect caught up with the members from the other three sects. They raised their chins with a smug smile
on their faces.
While the disciples were gloating in their victory, the disciples from the other three sects were upset.
‘Now, if that guy reached the grassland, there is nothing we can do, ' they thought in low spirits.
Rahul and the other disciples from the FlHoly Land also were left frustrated.
'Wait! Where is Austin?*
Rahul thought of Austin suddenly. Using his spiritual sense, he scanned the area around him, but he couldn't locate him.
'What's going on? Why is Austin not here with us?
Did he lose his life in the battle?"
As this thought cto mind, he panicked.
Using his spiritual sense, he asked the other members from the FlHoly Land whether they had seen Austin.
They shook their head to express that they hadn't met Austin.
Rahul was disappointed. 'Looks like Austin didn't survive that fight.
If Elder Damian comes to know this, he will be quite upset.
After all everyone knew he thought highly of Austin after witnessing his excellent performance.
But now Austin had died in this tournament.’
Rahul also felt sad at the thought of losing Austin. After all, they had fought together several times.

At the stime, things were different at the grassland.
The people in the grassland were tense.
The audience kept wondering which sect would win this time.
Nearly half a day had passed since the participants entered the mountains.
Everyone present there knew that the competition would cto an end soon.
And they would cto know about the winner of this year's Four-sect Joint Tournament.
No one could have been more nervous than the core members of the four sects.
The sect which won the contest would take control over the teleportation array in the Gold City in the following five years.
If a sect could use the teleportation array, they could have acquired many resources and wealth through it.
The Incept Sect had won the last tournament. So the teleportation array was under its control over the past five years.
Thanks to the array, the Incept Sect had becthe most influential one among the four top sects in the Dawning Kingdom.
The leader of the Incept Sect broke out laughing abruptly.
"I hope it'll not be too much for you to take.
The victory is surely going to be ours. Our sect will emerge as the winner.
There is no doubt about that now!
Ha-ha!
Well, now it looks like we'll be able to use the teleportation array for another five years,"
he said in a tone filled with pride and overconfidence.
'My disciples are more powerful than those from the other three sects.
| have faith in them. I'm sure they will not letdown, ' he thought.
"Don't be so overconfident. The gis not over yet. It's still too early to day who will have the last laugh,"
the leader of the Mysterious Sect snorted coldly.
"Don't jump to the conclusions,"
Elder Damian said without any emotion. He seemed as calm and composed as ever.
