Soon enough, under Alston's orders, his men had spread his offer to invite other teams to cooperate
with him. He had one objective in his mind—to annihilate Austin and his group. He also had his men
spread the rumors about Austin's wealth, and his plot to take down the other teams.
Alston smirked. 'These people are way too predictable, ' he thought. Just as he expected, all the other
team leaders responded to his call.
"Humph! Austin is ruthless.
I can't believe that he leaked the location of his team on purpose! Turns out, he had set up all kinds of
traps in secret, waiting for us to fall into the snare.
What a cunning guy! It is in everyone's best interest to hunt him down and take him out!"
"Austin has amassed lots of points already. On top of it, he has three chaotic magic treasures.
His subordinate are just as abundant.
It's a good decision to respond to Alston's call to take Austin down. After we take him out, we can get
our share in the spoils."
"Come on, let's go meet Alston.
While we are attacking Austin, we can also assault his team.
Hence, our objective is to do everything we can to get more points and magic treasures."
The other teams quickly responded to Alston's call as soon as they had his offer.
The next day, more than ten teams had come to meet with Alston and his men.
There were over two thousand people in total.
So far, in this competition, the total number of survivors was roughly around two thousand.
In other words, almost all the people in this area had come to take part in hunting down Austin.
When this news reached him, Austin was taken aback.
"Seriously? Am I this annoying?
I can't believe that so many medium-grade divine gods want me dead," Austin muttered bitterly.
He knew that his attitude tended to rub off the wrong way to some people, but he didn't expect to be
this much.
"In fact, everyone has their eyes on our points and our magic treasures.
They all want to get a share,"
Hare informed.
"Yeah.
That's what Alston is up to. His purpose is to gather all the teams in this area and form an alliance
against us,"
Otis cut in with a nod.
"So, what are we going to do?
We stand no chance against so many teams,"
Keysley interjected worriedly.
Over two thousand medium-grade divine gods joined hands together. It was going to be a formidable
force.
Although Austin and his team members were strong, they couldn't handle that much—they were
exceedingly outnumbered.
"Don't be afraid.
We may be smaller in numbers, but we still have our own advantages.
Due to their large volume, we can find them easily, but it's not easy for them to track us down.
So we are going to play hide and seek with them.
I will accurately investigate all the teams, and watch their every move. And find a way to wipe them out
one by one.
Ha-ha! We won't be able to do anything if they're banded together.
But once they split up, we can assault them and destroy them.
It seems that the competition is coming to an end.
In that case, let's kill these two thousand medium-grade divine gods and win the victory," Austin
analyzed loudly.
He was not afraid to confront so many strong enemies at all. Challenges always excited him.
'Huh?' Austin's team members were surprised by his actions.
'We are in such a grave situation. The enemy is coming. Austin isn't scared at all! Instead, he looked
like he is looking forward to it, ' they thought to themselves.
'Perhaps, this is what makes Austin stand out. He is not only talented but also fearless.
Cultivators should be brave and persistent like him if they want to achieve big things.'
Otis, Keysley and the others had the same thought as they watched Austin immediately make plans.
"Guys, this is a good chance for us to make a fortune. Once we take care of these teams, we will earn
lots of points and priceless magic treasures.
Let's try our best to defeat those guys. Once we do, we can leave the Fallen Divine Valley proudly,"
Austin boosted his team's morale.
"Austin, you are right!
I have been trapped in the Fallen Divine Valley for such a long time. If I'm going out of here, I'm not
leaving empty-handed!"
Luban called out to show his support.
The rest of the team members slowly cheered up as they heard Austin's statement.
"Austin has a point.
It doesn't matter how many enemies we are going to engage. Let's fight them."
"Let's pull all out and slay them in the battle."
The fighting spirit of everyone in Austin's team was ignited. They were in high spirits and the daunting
fear they felt was gone.
"Great.
Everyone stay here and have a good rest.
I'm going to work on some geomancy arrays,"
Austin informed them.
Then, he immediately dove into the ground and went away in an instant.
During this time, a dozen teams gathered fifty miles away from Austin and his team.
"Everyone, I think you all should know something about Austin.
He is a ruthless guy, and he has done lots of bad things.
In the past few days, he has set up traps and ruined at least seven teams.
If he fought with those teams openly and won, I would have no problem with that.
But he used some dirty means to win. That was against the rules and regulations of the competition.
Therefore, it's necessary for us to work together to eradicate this nuisance."
Alston was making a generous speech to rebuke Austin's behavior, which provoked everyone's anger.
"I agree! I heard that brat is just at the Divine Realm.
In terms of strength, he is as weak as an ant, not even worth mentioning.
But he used some dirty tricks to get ahead. He is despicable."
Whispers and murmurs were exchanged. The rest nodded in agreement.
"I heard the news that Austin had about two hundred thousand points.
Perhaps he has more than two hundred thousand points now.
He also has at least three chaotic magic treasures with him.
Moreover, Austin's team had eliminated at least seven teams. I bet the amount of points and the
treasures that they have is immeasurable.
Everyone, we can't miss on this golden opportunity.
How about this? Once we confront him, those who manage to finish off Austin and his team will get all
of their points and treasures,"
Alston continued.
'What!'
Most of them got thrilled as their eyes lit up.
"Well, let's cut the crap.
From now on, all of us stay together while canvassing the area. We must find Austin,"
Alston boomed.
"Got it!"
Everyone echoed.
They all had the same goal: find Austin and his team as soon as possible and make a fortune out of it.
So, under Alston's orders, over ten teams fanned out and began to look for their target.
Each team was only about ten miles away from each other, so they could cover a larger area and
watched each other's back at the same time.
Alston also gave each team a contacting stone, so that they could inform each other of their
whereabouts. In case any of them would come across Austin, other teams could come and help out.
"Take action!"
As soon as Alston gave the order, all the teams quickly began their search.
