Plenty of teams were looking for Austin.
Every time these groups crossed paths, they would immediately engage in a fierce battle.
After all, they were still in the competition.
Meanwhile, somewhere in a valley, a medium-grade divine god was reporting to Alston.
"Alston, the news about the bounty for Austin's head has been spread everywhere!
Unfortunately, we don't have any word about him just yet,"
the medium-grade divine god informed.
"Humph! What a bunch of incompetent losers!"
Alston slammed his fists angrily. He was getting frustrated with the little progress on this matter.
"Calm down, Alston.
This whole place is enormous!
Besides, there's a chance that Austin got frightened because of the bounty in his head. He might be
hiding somewhere, so it would be difficult for us to find him.
Capturing him in a short amount of time is difficult.
Be patient,"
Meredith comforted.
"Give out my command that everyone in my team has to look for Austin. We must find that bastard at
all costs!"
Alston gritted his teeth in frustration. He got even more infuriated.
At the same time, Austin and his team were staying in the woods.
Austin, who had been sitting cross legged for half a day, suddenly opened his eyes.
"I did it!" he exclaimed delightedly.
There was a close connection between the flute and Austin.
'Ha-ha! I have refined two chaotic magic treasures.
One of them can tremendously improve my speed, while the other one can help attack the enemies. At
this rate, I could match some of my powerful enemies' skill in this area, '
Austin thought, thoroughly amazed with his progress.
"How did it go?" As soon as he saw Austin got up, Otis scampered towards him.
The rest of the team members also rushed to his side and surrounded him.
"I have successfully refined it,"
Austin happily announced.
"It's time to look for our next target.
I have a feeling that the competition is about to end.
From now on, we must act quickly and attack other teams actively,"
Austin informed.
"Let's go!"
With a wave of his hand, Austin led his team members out of the woods. They all moved swiftly, going
far into the distance.
Under Austin's control, the earth dragons also followed them underground.
As soon as they left the woods, Austin and his men headed east.
The earth dragons underground observed everything within dozens of miles around them. They sent
what they saw into Austin's Soul Sea.
Since he managed to refine two chaotic magic treasures, Austin was itching to find a group to test out
his newfound strength.
A couple of hours later, Austin paused in his tracks.
'Wait! There is a team of over fifty people over there.'
Austin sensed a group not far away from their position.
They were roughly around thirty miles away, and they were coming towards Austin's team.
"Elvis, we have been looking for that Austin guy for more than a day.
After searching for hundreds of miles, we still couldn't find him!
It's like looking for a needle in a haystack,"
a team member complained to their leader.
"C'mon, you don't get dejected so easily. Cheer up, everyone.
If tracking down this Austin guy was easy, Alston wouldn't have to put a hundred thousand point bounty
on his head.
Come on, just think about it.
In addition to two hundred thousand points and three chaotic magic treasures, we will also get
numerous other treasures!
We'll still have more than enough even if it will take us a month and a half to find that brat. I say it's a
good deal.
So there is no time for us to be disheartened. Keep alert,"
the team leader berated.
The rest of the members nodded. The short lecture their leader gave was enough to keep them
enthusiastic about their quest once again.
'I knew it. This team is really coming for me.
In that case, I will not show them any mercy, ' Austin thought with an evil grin.
With the help of the earth dragons underground, he learned what they were talking about.
"Everyone, we've got company again!" Austin announced.
He gestured his team to follow him. He dashed towards the team of over fifty people.
Meanwhile, the other team with fifty members kept marching forward. They released their spiritual
sense to look for any signs of Austin's presence.
"You know what Austin looks like and the aura of his spiritual soul.
If you find anything, report it to me immediately,"
the leader commanded.
Just then, a group of people made their way to them.
Leading the group was a young man.
It was Austin!
"Guys, you don't have to work so hard just to look for me.
I am right here," Austin coolly mentioned.
He smiled and placed his hands behind his back.
The troop looking for Austin had their mouths agape. The very person they were desperately looking
for was right in front of them!
Then, an eerie atmosphere enveloped the space.
A member of their team broke the silence.
"Elvis, he is Austin Lin. He is the guy we are looking for."
"Yes, he is. I remember his looks and aura of his spiritual soul."
Whispers and murmurs were exchanged within their group.
To finally satiate their suspicions and curiosity, Elvis Deng, the team leader finally asked, "Are you
really Austin Lin?"
He took a step closer to Austin, and a strong pressure enveloped Austin.
"Yes, I am. I guess you must have done a lot of work to track me down, right?"
Austin replied with a calm smile.
"W-What? You knew we were looking for you, then why did you show yourself to us?" Elvis stammered
in confusion.
He was baffled with Austin's move. 'Any sane person would avoid people that were hunting them down.
Why would this person willingly present himself to them? Is this a setup?' Elvis thought.
"Ha-ha! Why not?
Do you think I would be afraid of you? You're weaklings.
That's a very ridiculous claim," Austin calmly answered.
He didn't raise his voice; he was simply composed and conversational.
Seeing Austin's unruffled attitude, the team leader started to harbor doubts.
'What is he up to? Why is he coming to us?'
Elvis Deng wondered.
"Ha-ha! You're just a weakling at the Divine Realm!
Tsk, tsk. I really can't believe that a cultivator at the Divine Realm could earn over one hundred
thousand points in this area.
I guess you're either very lucky, or you're good at scheming things.
Unfortunately, you met us. No matter what games you are playing, we will take whatever you have.
Elvis, what are you waiting for? Let me kill this nobody!" a bulky man demanded in his defiant voice.
He glared at Austin madly with his huge eyes.
"You idiot," Austin dismissed him.
He smiled and merely glanced at the enraged man.
"Brat! I beg your pardon?
You're going to regret what you said!
Go to hell, you brat!"
The bulky man flew into a rage. He stepped forward and waved his colossal mace at Austin.
Whoosh!
Austin moved his body and disappeared.
Before the bulky man could even react, Austin was already standing behind him.
He stretched out his hand and hit the bulky man with his hand.
A sword-light that emitted a powerful aura appeared in his palm.
The sword-light pierced all the way through the brawny man's back, leaving a hole in his body.
With a scream, the brawny man died on the spot.
His enormous body fell on the ground with a loud thud.
Austin had acquired the Divine Swordsman's sword-light in this Fallen Divine Valley. Since then, he had
kept it in his body.
"My palm is bleeding again.
The Sword Emperor's sword light is so terrifying!" Austin murmured to himself with a bitter smile.
He found a cut caused by the sword-light in his palm, and blood came out of it. He then carefully put
the sword-light back to his body.
"It's your turn now," Austin whispered in a low and dangerous voice. Then, he summoned the jade flute.
"Go to hell, all of you!" he shouted.
He concentrated and a flute flew out from his body. He then piped a melodious tune.
