A moment later, the chief came back.
"Master, I have locked down the world as you ordered, "
he reported to Austin in a docile voice.
"Good.
Tell me. Which world is the nearest to the Genuine Snake World?"
Austin asked.
"The closest one would be the Cyan Snake World.
Its level of strength is similar to ours,"
the chief replied.
"I see. Okay. I don't see why we shouldn't head for the Cyan Snake World now,"
Austin said without any second thoughts.
"As you wish, master!"
Like a doting puppy, the chief followed Austin's orders unconditionally.
Within moments, the chief left the Genuine Snake World together with Austin and his capable
subordinates and flew towards the Cyan Snake World.
Meanwhile, Austin had sent Violet, Elmer and the others into the continent he had created.
In no time, Austin's entourage reached the entrance of Cyan Snake World.
"The chief of the Genuine Snake World has come to visit!" A master announced loudly as he stepped
forward. He was one of the trusted subordinates of the chief of the Genuine Snake World.
"What? Are you sure?
The leader of the Genuine Snake World is here? !"
The chief of the Cyan Snake World was surprised when he was filled in on the visit of the Genuine
Snake World's chief. It was a rare occasion that the chief of the neighboring world would personally
come for whatever reason.
"What brought this old man here?"
The chief of Cyan Snake World was confused, trying to make out the possible reason for such a visit.
Although the two worlds were neighbors, the two chiefs didn't see eye to eye as they didn't have much
in common.
In fact, there was an unspoken sense of competition against each other.
They would always reach a disagreement over the subsidiary forces, the control over the crystal mines
and the charge for the main roads and the teleportation passages between the worlds.
It was safe to say that they were not friends and kept a civil relationship with each other, rarely meeting
in person, if at all.
"Let him in.
Humph! I'd like to see what he is up to,"
the chief of the Cyan Snake World ordered his subordinate after musing for a while.
"Chief, my suspicion is that the old guy came because he wants the control over the divine crystal
mines we found recently," an old man said.
Seeming like an elder or adviser, he stood beside the chief.
"That's possible. Those mines are large and contain a massive amount of divine crystals. We all know
that the chief of the Genuine Snake World is ambitious and he always wants to keep the good things all
to himself,"
another elder in a grey robe chimed in.
"Humph! Well, let's show them courtesy but be wary and play it by ear, nonetheless.
I'd like to see what games that old man is playing," the chief said with a defiant sneer.
After all, there was nothing for him to be intimidated about. He was equally a leader as much as the
chief of the Genuine Snake World.
At this point, the chief of the Genuine Snake World entered the Cyan Snake world with Austin and the
others following behind him.
"Master, what are your plans?"
he asked Austin as they moved forward past the gate.
"We need to capture the leader first,"
Austin said after thinking momentarily.
"Got it!"
The chief of the Genuine Snake World got excited.
Since he was now Austin's slave, he put his master before anyone else.
Soon, they arrived at the reception hall.
The chief of the Cyan Snake World warmly invited the chief of the Genuine Snake World to take a seat.
Austin, Elmer and a group of masters of the Genuine Snake World stood behind the chief of the
Genuine Snake World. Austin was the master of the entourage but to everyone else, the chief was still
the leader of the Genuine Snake World.
The chief of the Cyan Snake World sat opposite his visitors, and a large group of his capable men
stood behind him.
The people of both sides stared at each other and almost nobody blinked.
Instantly, the atmosphere became a little tense.
Austin unleashed his spiritual sense to check the strength of the Cyan Snake World's chief, and found
that he was equally as strong as the chief of the Genuine Snake World.
"Leslie, let's cut to the chase. It is extremely rare for you to come to my place. What do you want?"
the chief of the Cyan Snake World asked straightforwardly.
"Ha-ha! Don't be nervous, Acton. I got a big deal and I'm going to work with you,"
Leslie said.
"A big deal?
You can't be serious. When are we that close?"
Hearing this, Acton was bewildered and speechless for a while.
"Acton, I'm serious. Do you think I wasted all this time to come here to make a joke?
Let me tell you something.
Not long ago, I found a mysterious ancient relic.
I thought that there would be a lot of precious treasures inside.
However, there were many powerful restriction spells that we couldn't break on our own.
So here I am,"
Leslie said in a low voice to pique Acton's interest.
"Oh?!
Is that so?
And where is this ancient relic that you speak of?" Acton asked.
Although he was still quite dubious, Leslie's story did arouse his interest.
"Acton, this is not something small and petty. We must keep it a secret. None of the other worlds must
find out about this!
Once the news is leaked, all the masters of the Heaven Beast Valley would swarm the place. If that
happens, we will get nothing in the end!
You need to ask your men to leave.
Then I will fill you in on that place in detail. I want to make sure that the information I share with you
does not leave this hall.
What do you think?"
Leslie suggested convincingly.
"Well ...
All right then.
Leslie, you should ask your men to take their leave as well, to be fair."
Acton agreed after he hesitated for a moment.
After all, it was his place.
He was not afraid that Leslie would play games with him.
Within minutes, most of the masters of the two worlds left the hall and waited outside.
Only Austin and Elmer remained in the hall with Leslie.
Behind Acton, there were also two genuine medium-grade divine gods who were his trusted men.
"They are my trusted subordinates, and they will never betray me.
Leslie, so what on earth is this ancient relic about? Cut the crap and tell me directly,"
Acton urged, getting impatient.
"Ha-ha! Master, the room is clear.
We can get started,"
Leslie said to Austin as he put on a wicked smile changing the look on his face.
"Leslie, what damn games are you playing?"
Acton flew into a rage sensing something wrong about Leslie's behavior.
"Well done!"
Austin responded as he flashed Leslie a smile.
There were hundreds of masters of the Cyan Snake World in the hall a few moments earlier. He
planned to tame them all. But on second thought, he changed his mind.
If he wasn't quick enough and any of them spread the news and the leader of the Heaven Beast Valley
found out about their existence and what they were up to, they would be in trouble.
That was why Austin came up with the idea to clear the room.
"Surrender,"
Austin said flatly, as he rested his eyes on Acton.
"Brat, you..."
Acton couldn't help but look Austin in the eyes and somehow felt rattled.
'Secret Reincarnation Skill!'
Austin summoned in his mind.
All of a sudden, there was a flash of light.
Time in the entire hall stopped and everything froze instantly.
'What a weird spatial law!
This brat has something up his sleeve!'
Acton and the two genuine medium-grade divine gods behind him were startled.
The three of them found themselves rendered immobile. However, they were still conscious of the
surroundings and could observe everything that happened.
One of them was a genuine premium-grade divine god while the other two were genuine medium-
grade divine gods. Even if they worked together, there was no way that they could defeat Austin.
As a cunning yet timid person, Acton was afraid of death. When he found that something was wrong,
he immediately activated something hidden in his head.
As he concentrated, a crisp sound was heard from his Soul Sea.
A jade slip exploded inside his Soul Sea and turned into a beam of light, shooting up into the sky.
"Leslie, just so you would know, I have sent a message to our leader. He will be here soon.
If you dare to lay a hand on me, and he finds out that you are the one responsible for it, he will not let
you go,"
Acton said with a triumphant sneer.
He was a discreet man and he cherished his life more than anyone else. He had made many special
jade slips and kept them in his Soul Sea. When he was in danger, all he needed was to concentrate
and he could use them to ask others for help.
"Master!
This is not good"
Leslie was terrified knowing that Acton had turned to the leader of the Heaven Beast Valley for help.
"We must get out of here while we still have time.
Once Chapman knows that we are here, we will be in trouble and we might not be able to get out of it
alive," Elmer seconded immediately.
He knew what the leader of the Heaven Beast Valley was capable of.
"Don't worry. Things are not that bad. We will be fine,"
Austin said with a reassuring smile.
The next moment, the light came back to Acton's Soul Sea.
The broken jade slip then, reappeared in his Soul Sea.
This was one of the Secret Reincarnation Skill's powers: to make time flow back.
The moment the jade slip reappeared, Austin unleashed the Mind Sword Skill.
"Aaarghhh!"
Instantly, Acton and the two genuine medium-grade divine gods let out screams of pain in succession.
The swords released by Austin had appeared in their bodies and cut their internal organs and flesh into
pieces. By the time it was done, the three genuine divine gods ended up with nothing but skin.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Then immediately, as before, tens of thousands of red strings rushed into their Soul Seas and tied up
their spiritual souls.
In the blink of an eye, Acton and the two genuine medium-grade divine gods had fallen under Acton's
control.
"Master!" the three of them greeted as they bowed to Austin respectfully.
The arrogant and fearless look on their faces were gone and replaced with a docile expression.
"Well, now ask the divine gods of the Cyan Snake World to come in one by one,"
Austin commanded.
"It shall be done, master!"
Acton replied obediently.
