"That's because we want to take revenge!
A year ago, a principal disciple from the Vasteras Holy Land was attracted to our sister and attempted to rape her, causing her to
commit suicide.
If we join one of the three holy lands, it will be challenging for us to take our revenge.
We heard that the bastard, who was the reason for our sister's death, is the grandson of an elder of the Vasteras Holy Land.
The three holy lands are allies. No matter which one we join, it will still be impossible to avenge our sister,"
one of the young men replied with evident rage.
"Please allow us to join the FlHoly Land. Once we becstrong, we swear to find that bastard and kill him!"
the other young man decisively said to Austin.
"I see. You guys are brothers,"
Austin shortly responded, nodding at the gentlemen.
"Well, from now on, you are the disciples of our FlHoly Land,"
he said with a courteous smile.
After perceiving the two young men with his spiritual sense, Austin found that they were very talented cultivators. If they were
adequately trained, they would certainly accomplish a lot in the future.
There was no way he would let go of two promising cultivators.
Hearing Austin's words, the two young men were overjoyed, and incessantly expressed their gratitude.
"This is not good, Holy Heritor. The people of those major sects chere!
They asked you to meet them and claimed to take your life outside the city.
Aside from that, many sandmen and diabolic beasts who guarded the city gates have been slaughtered."
One of the disciples from the FlHoly Land rushed into the hall and worriedly reported to Austin.
Meanwhile, everyone inside the hall couldn't help but scowl at his announcement.
Austin immediately released his spiritual sense to check what was happening outside the city.
He sensed many people outside the Five Elements City, whose faces exhibited their full intent to kill.

Most of them were incredibly powerful and possessed excellent abilities.
Austin frowned as they obviously chere to end him.
‘Looks like the leaders of those sects sent their men here to take my life."
After thinking for a while, Austin teleported the sixteen newly recruited disciples into his City model to keep them safe for whatever
was yet to come.
They were still weak and needed more training. Austin knew those men would be in danger once he engaged in a fight with his
enemies.
Then using his bodily movement skill, Austin soared into the sky and floated in mid-air.
With a wave of his hand, a nine-story tower materialized over his palm.
Austin controlled the tower to release a strong force. And with the immense impact, he instantly sent all the slaves in the city back
to the tower.
After a while, Austin found that more than 3000 slaves were killed.
Austin's heart ached, realizing that they suffered that tragic faith because of him.
Since these slaves were killed outside the Slave Tower, they couldn't be brought back to life again.
Austin glanced at the atmosphere outside the city.
At this time, several hundred cultivators levitated in the air and glared at Austin with a murderous look on their faces.
"I'm flattered. | didn't expect all of you to chere just for me.
| know many of you are strong and excellent cultivators.
Looks like you guys are determined to take my life,"
Austin said with a faint smile, calmly looking at the flock of cultivators outside the city.
"Austin, you son of a bitch! You are doomed! There is no escaping from here!"
Outside the city, an old man in black stared at Austin with sharp eyes. He had a gloomy aura and emanated an incredibly profound
killing intent.
He was a senior member of the Ji Clan, equivalent to an elder of a holy land.
"Surround Austin!" he forcefully commanded.
A large number of men in black surged and fenced Austin from afar.
"You are right, Austin. We have dispatched a significant number of people to kill you. You should be proud of yourself.
That's right. Rejoice now while it lasts, because it won't be long till you drop dead on the ground."
An old man who was wearing purple clothes slowly stepped forward. He was an elder of the Arcane Holy Land.
"Austin, you are a cruel and evil murderer!
Today, we will eliminate you for the sake of the entire East Mainland,"
an old man in blue said vehemently.
He was an elder from the Rudimentary Holy Land, emitting enormous vital energy.
"Oh my god! You're really something, Austin!
Imagine, the leaders of these sects even sent their elders here to take your life!"
Bray, who stood next to Austin, couldn't help but utter in shock as he watched everything unfold.
Aside from him, ten disciples of the FlHoly Land, including Rahul, were also standing beside Austin.
All of them looked at the elders, their legs trembling in fear at the mere sight of those powerful men.
These elders from the holy lands and prominent clans were all notable people in the East Mainland.
No one would dare to even slightly offend them, or else they would meet their demise.
But now, three elders chere just to kill Austin.
It was astounding that they would go over that great length.
"Austin, our FlKingdom has no problem with your holy land. But you went too far when you attempted to occupy our territory.
I'm the National Counselor of this kingdom, and you owe us an explanation!"
an old man in a white robe, who was about sixty years old, yelled at Austin, slowly taking a step forward.
"So you are the National Counselor of the FlKingdom, huh?
Don't tellthat you didn't know that our holy land was in charge of your kingdom a thousand years ago.
Without our help, your kingdom wouldn't have been here. So, technically speaking, this is our land, and you can't accuse us of
invading your territory when it was not initially even yours, to begin with,"

Austin retorted with a cold smile.
"Humph! You should just let it go.
A lot has happened for the past thousand years. The FlKingdom is now under our control.
It has nothing to do with you FlHoly Land anymore,"
reasoned the senior member of the Ji Clan.
"No one can take anything from us.
The FlKingdom has always been--and will always be--our territory. So you better give it back before | do something.
Otherwise, we will declare war on you,"
Austin pronounced in a domineering tone.
He acted with composure, showing no sign of panic in front of those three remarkable masters.
Bray and the ten disciples of the Flholy Land were impressed with Austin's iron-clad determination.
Little did they know, Austin was just showing a facade as he was not that confident in defeating these powerful elders. He had
killed an elder of the Rudimentary Holy Land and hurt one badly with the help of the Fire Stela last time, but he was uncertain if he
could take on three together at the stright now.
Even with his demonic avatar, Austin recognized it would be hard for him to defeat these elders.
But, if all else failed, he had already cup with a backup plan.
If he would be at a disadvantage during the fight, he planned to hide in the Slave Tower.
That way, the three elders couldn't touch him, and even if they sent more powerful companions to back them up, they wouldn't be
able to do anything.
Austin wasn't flustered at all because he had the Slave Tower as his escape route.
"Ha-ha!
Good. You're really good, young man.
| gotta give it to you, Austin. | have never met such an arrogant person before you.
You really have the guts to speak to us like that.
Do you think you can get away with that?" the old man in black from the Ji Clan sneered.
His anger, which knew no bounds, reflected on the way he glared at Austin. Now, it would really seem that an intense fight was
about to start.
