"Master, the people of the four major forces are trying to destroy all the strongholds of the Curry Sword
Sect,"
one of the semi-governing gods replied.
He had become Austin's slave so he was naturally on Austin's side and regarded the four major forces
as enemies.
"Master, as far as I know, there are governing gods of all the four major forces. They are the ones
leading their armies as we speak,"
another slave added.
"Hmm. Okay, I see."
Austin sneered, his eyes flashing with coldness.
It was obvious that the governing gods of the four major forces were aiming to fight Austin!
The purpose of all their courses of action was to lure Austin out of the Ethereal World.
As long as Austin stayed in the Ethereal World, they couldn't do anything to him. This wildly frustrated
them.
In the last battle in the eye of the Sword Cosmos in the Ethereal World, Austin had completely
traumatized the governing gods of the four major forces, scaring them out of their wits.
"You are getting desperate to lure me out, aren't you?
Well, here I am. Come and get me!"
His voice remained cold but fierce.
By now, forty percent of Austin's body was filled with the great cosmos force.
As a result, his fighting power had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Knowing this, he had become keen on fighting several governing gods at the same time and testing
what his powers could do.
That was why Austin decided to leave the Ethereal World.
"Master, the people of the four major forces have come to deal with the Curry Sword Cities. They are
now everywhere.
We have to hurry, or our cities will all be destroyed soon,"
another slave urged.
"All of you relax. We don't need to be in a rush.
I am their target. They did all those just to lure me out.
As long as I show up, they will come to me and ignore everything else,"
reassured Austin.
"Having said that, we must now go to the headquarters of the Ximen Clan
It's time for us to settle the accounts with the four major forces,"
he then added decisively.
"Master..."
The four semi-governing gods were stunned at his words.
"Master, are you sure? Are we really going to the Ximen Clan? Their headquarters is heavily guarded,
and there are several elders there who cultivate in seclusion all year round.
In addition, the Ximen Clan is known to be very powerful,"
one of them said with hesitation.
They were well aware of the Ximen Clan's strength and capabilities.
When they heard Austin deciding to go to the headquarters of the Ximen Clan, they were taken aback.
"Worry not. Just lead the way. You have nothing to fear.
Everything will be fine as long as I'm here with you all,"
said Austin.
"Okay, we are on it!"
they all answered promptly.
There was no reason for them to disobey Austin's orders.
With that, the group headed for the headquarters of the Ximen Clan.
Not long after, they entered a vast world.
"Master, we have arrived. This is the headquarters of the Ximen Clan,"
said one of the divine god slaves, turning to Austin.
"Yes. I got it."
Austin nodded in acknowledgment.
"Master, during normal times, the masters of the Ximen Clan cultivate in seclusion in their ancestral
land.
Their ancestral land is the core area of the clan,"
another slave told Austin.
"Good to know. Okay, we are setting out for the ancestral land shortly."
Austin waved his hand and then strode forward.
A moment later, they arrived at their destination.
"Master, the ancestral land is ahead of us.
Look!"
A slave pointed to what lay ahead of them.
There were divine mountains shrouded in vital energy and continuously emitting a sharp divine light.
There had to be over ten thousand of such mountains. They stood side by side, grand and majestic
and stretching far out into the distance.
Each divine mountain had a thick mist that blanketed the whole surroundings. With tens of thousands
of them packed together, it looked magnificent and dazzling.
"Well, it's not bad at all.
After all, the Ximen Clan deserves to be one of the four major forces. They worked hard for it.
The clan must have put a significant amount of efforts on their ancestral land."
Austin was all praises as he nodded in agreement.
Looking around, the divine mountains were dazzling and breathtaking. Thick silver waterfalls cascaded,
and mysterious islands floated in the air. Birds and beasts appeared here and there. It seemed like they
had walked into a fantasy world.
"There are lands of danger and lands of death. On the other hand, there are also lands of fortune and
lands of treasure.
In this respect, the ancestral land of the Ximen Clan is classified as a land of fortune.
It seems that the master who set up this ancestral land is proficient in the study of geomancy,"
Austin murmured to himself.
"Master, you are totally right.
It is said that the ancestors of the Ximen Clan paid a great price to hire a very brilliant Earth Master to
help them make this place beautiful and grand.
It can be said that the reason why the Ximen Clan could develop and become one of the ruling forces
of the Sword Cosmos is because of this ancestral land.
It makes the Ximen Clan receivers of good luck at all times,"
a divine god slave told Austin.
"I see.
If I destroy this ancestral land, the senior leaders of the Ximen Clan must feel heartbroken. It will
probably drive them crazy!"
Austin sneered.
"This's their punishment for provoking the Curry Sword Sect."
His voice was laden with the desire to kill and destroy.
Austin was proficient in the study of geomancy. He not only knew well, about all kinds of lands of
danger and lands of death, but he also knew all about the kinds of lands of fortune and lands of
treasure.
At a single glance, Austin could clearly and immediately see through the ancestral land of the Ximen
Clan.
Beneath the ground, there were golden earth dragons and massive amounts of Earth Energy that
oozed and flowed slowly like a river of molten rock.
"Master, what should we do next?"
a slave asked Austin in a low voice.
"Follow me. We are going to break in,"
said Austin.
"Break in directly?"
The four divine god slaves were all shocked at what their master had just said.
In their eyes, the Ximen Clan was not to be messed with.
Moreover, there were several governing gods heavily guarding this ancestral land, which made it the
safest place in the Ximen World.
"Yes. Is there a problem? Let's go."
With his hands behind his back, Austin walked forward without waiting for anyone.
"For the sake of our master, I will do anything that I possibly can!"
The four slaves looked at each other, gritted their teeth and then meekly followed Austin closely.
All of a sudden, a middle-aged man appeared in front of Austin and shouted angrily,
"Stop! Who goes there?
This is the territory of the Ximen Clan. No one is allowed to come in without permission or consent!"
The middle-aged man was a genuine premium-grade divine god.
"Save your speech. We don't need to hear it. But if you don't want to die, then you'd better get out of
my way,"
Austin said calmly, death flashing in his eyes.
"Go to hell! Who do you think you are?!"
The middle-aged man grew furious at Austin's arrogant words.
Swoop!
He made a move and a streak of sword-light shone brightly and slashed at Austin's head.
To anyone who was familiar, it could be seen that this middle-aged man's swordsmanship was a little
similar to Austin's. It was inverted, which looked simple, but its power was equally terrifying.
The sword-light reached Austin in an instant.
But Austin didn't dodge.
Bang!
The plain sword-light hit Austin in the head.
There were blinding flash and an explosion, but Austin suffered no damage or injury.
As soon as the sword-light touched Austin's head, it dimmed down. Then it was directly absorbed and
disappeared.
"What the hell?"
The middle-aged man was startled and almost fell back.
He used all his strength in that strike, but his opponent was completely unharmed without even a little
scratch.
It was as if a breeze simply flew over him.
"What just freaking happened? Who the hell are you?" he asked with a flabbergasted face
as he felt his scalp tingle and a cold chill run down his spine.
He had been responsible for guarding the ancestral land for such a long time, so he didn't know much
about the outside world and couldn't recognize who Austin was.
"I'm the one who came here to destroy the Ximen Clan,"
Austin replied flatly with a smirk.
