As soon as their leader gave the order, the Purple Sword Sect was immediately swamped with their respective tasks. They
mobilized their troops and groups of soldiers walked out of the Purple Divine Mountain. Their hearts were brimming with
determination and overwhelming killing intent.
Their armors majestically glinted against the light, and dazzling sword auras filled the void.
Marching together as one, their army headed to the Red Sword City.
The army sought to subdue with a show of power as an opening tactic. The right display of authority and force could make their
enemies cower before their presence.
The army moved in a single unit, a sea of the strongest warriors of the Purple Sword Sect.
The Purple Sword Sect's leader marched at the forefront, personally leading the battalion himself.
Numerous senior members also cto showcase their support towards their sect.
Almost all of the Purple Sword Sect's masters had joined the force.
Among them all, the most powerful ones were the sect leader and a superior elder, who were both semi-governing gods.
There were five semi-governing gods in their sect.
These five influential beings were the sect leader and the four superior elders.
Elder Roland, who was captured by Austin, was one of the four.
This time, the sect leader and a superior elder led the army. In contrast, the other two stayed in the headquarters.
The consolidated energy brought by the army caused the entire void to tremble. Their presence could be felt from miles away!
Meanwhile,
in the Red Sword City,
the banquet held in Austin's honor had just finished.
Austin was inside the secret room of the Lin Clan's mansion,
sitting cross-legged.
"Fortunately, this old man is still breathing."
Austin teleported Elder Roland out and examined him. He found that he was in a temporary coma, mainly because his spiritual soul
was damaged, but his life was not in danger.
Under the control of Austin's mind, the dense puppet strings in Elder Roland's Soul Sea merged into his spiritual soul.
Like thousands of red needles pinpricking him, they stabbed deep into his spiritual soul.
Elder Roland could not resist it due to his catatonic state.
After a while,
Austin had successfully put Elder Roland's spiritual soul under his control.
Deep in his soul, the semi-governing god could feel that he was being subdued by Austin despite his weak state.
He was aware that he had becone of Austin's slaves.
"I finally made it!"
Austin excitedly exclaimed.
Elder Roland was the first semi-governing god Austin had subdued. Obviously, this was a milestone for him.
This would also pose as a tremendous help since this was a powerful ally in his side.
Then, Austin began to heal Elder Roland's wounds.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis spiritual soul was terribly injured.
Austin released the Chaotic Ice Lotus and shot it into Elder Roland's Soul Sea, releasing a large amount of spiritual soul energy to
cure him of his afflictions.
The power Austin just summoned had a powerful healing effect on any injury in the spiritual soul.
To make sure Elder Roland fully recovered, he also took out plenty of spiritual soul elixirs and treasures. He sent them into Elder
Roland's Soul Sea to help him absorb them.
Elder Roland was a semi-governing god and his spiritual soul had strong vitality. With the help of Austin, he began to slowly
recover.
It took him half a day to regain his former strength.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he looked for Austin.
"Master," Elder Roland weakly addressed as he woke up.
"It's alright.
Your spiritual soul hasn't fully recovered. Take care of yourself,"
Austin remarked. He gave the elder a compassionate look.
"Yes. Thank you for your concern, master,"
Elder Roland gratefully answered, lowering his head.
Then, as they were talking, Austin suddenly received an urgent message from Garth.
"Bad news!
The Purple Sword Sect's leader is leading an army towards the Red Sword City.
I don't know what they're after, but it sounds like trouble!"
Austin could tell that his tone was very nervous. However, he simply gave a small smile, as if he had anticipated everything.
"I've been waiting for him.
Fortunately, | don't have to wait too long."
Austin was not rattled at all. He calmly clasped his hands behind his back and closed his eyes.
"They are about to arrive.
What do we do?"
Seeing that Austin seemed unbothered, Garth strangely felt a little relieved.
Austin walked out of the secret room, followed by Elder Roland.
"What?
I... I-is that Roland?!
You... How?"
Garth and the senior members of the Lin Clan were waiting outside the secret room. When they saw Elder Roland, they couldn't
contain their surprise.
After all, Elder Roland was a superior elder of the Purple Sword Sect. To the Lin Clan, he was their sworn enemy.
Back then, whenever the superior elders of the Purple Sword Sect were mentioned, members of the Lin Clan would tremble in fear.
Seeing Elder Roland right in front of them made them instinctively frightened.
"Don't panic. He's one of us now,"
Austin calmly clarified.
"What? He's one of us? How could that be?"
Hearing Austin's explanation did not help. It made them all the more confused. Elder Roland was a prmember of the Purple
Sword Sect, after all. They had every reason to be skeptical.
But then, they watched the once respected elder follow Austin around, like a slave.
"Come, let's greet the people of the Purple Sword Sect,"
Austin ordered as he walked out of the Red Sword City.
Elder Roland obediently followed him.
Behind them, Garth and other senior members of the Lin Clan were still dumbfounded at the idea that Elder Roland was following
Austin submissively.
"Austin is truly powerful, isn't he? We could never fathom out his way of doing things.
| feel that with him here, our clan will not be in danger. In fact, | think that we could even rise to the ranks with him by our side!"
Garth whispered to the other senior members of the Lin Clan secretly in an excited tone.
"That's right.
His means are beyond our imagination!"
The senior members agreed.
Meanwhile,
as the Purple Sword Sect cnearer and nearer in their vicinity,
the air got heavier—it was filled with immense tension.
It felt like a storm was about to befall them.
The news that the leader of the Purple Sword Sect led an army in person to attack the Red Sword City had wildly spread.
Of course, battles in this scale would cause terrible aftermaths. The majority of creatures living in the city packed their things and
left for a much safer place they could be.
The Lin Clan was a three or four class force in the Sword Cosmos. It could be considered a middle-level force.
There were many smaller forces, tribes, and creatures that relied on the Lin Clan to survive.
Now, the Lin Clan was in deep trouble. To top it off, it was the Purple Sword Sect, a powerful and renowned force, that they crossed.
No living being wanted to stay and fight with the Lin Clan.
The Purple Sword Sect was known for their ruthless and merciless acts.
The mere mention of their ncould make the creatures' knees tremble in fright.
Soon, the Red Sword City, which used to be crowded with people, was now extremely quiet. Save for Austin's group and few other
creatures, it was practically empty.
"I didn't expect that the Red Sword City would end up like this one day,"
Garth signed as he and his men followed Austin on the street.
"Winning or losing a battle is a common occurrence, and the development of everything is the alternation of prosperity and
decline. There is no need for you to worry about a temporary fall.
Perhaps, in the future, the Red Sword City will be more glorious and the Lin Clan will be more powerful,"
Austin reassured. He gave Garth a complacent smile.
"I hope so!"
His confidence was bringing excitement in Garth.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn his opinion, this was Austin's recognition of the Lin Clan in the Red Sword City.
This meant that the Lin Clan had succeeded in making friends with this mysterious and powerful young man.
