A few days had passed.
In the peace and quiet of the Purple Sword World, Austin was resting in his secret room.
However, all of a sudden, a voice broke the silence.
"Master, pardon my intrusion but something happened in several of our strongholds."
As soon as he heard Winslow's voice, Austin brows instantly furrowed.
'Hmm...
It seems that the four major forces are finally taking action.'
As Austin abruptly opened his eyes, they showed an extremely fierce look as if surging sword radiance
was about to burst out from them.
With a stone-cold face, he stood up and walked out of his secret room.
Outside of the said room, Winslow was anxiously waiting for his master, together with several semi-
governing gods.
"So, what happened?"
Austin asked straightforwardly.
Obviously, if they were this anxious, it meant that it wasn't just a small matter.
Before they even reported what happened, Austin already guessed that the governing gods of the four
major forces must be involved in these predicaments.
"Yes, master. Let me report everything that happened.
Yesterday, one of our strongholds was invaded.
All of our men in that place were killed. No one was able to survive.
As soon as I was notified of what happened, I immediately sent someone to investigate.
The ones I sent were trustworthy individuals and they carried my orders right away.
However, all the men I sent to the stronghold to investigate were also killed.
Because of this, I had to resort in sending four elders to lead another team that would investigate the
site.
The four elders were actually semi-governing gods. I deemed it necessary because of what happened
to the previous men that I sent.
But to my greatest surprise, even the four elders were slain as well.
The soul lights left by the four semi-governing gods in the headquarters were extinguished.
This proved that they were really murdered.
Then, today, I got another report saying that five more of our strongholds were also invaded by
unidentified creatures. As a result, all of these strongholds were utterly destroyed,"
Winslow reported in detail with a gloomy expression.
"There's no mistaking it. It's the work of the four major forces."
Right after hearing Winslow's report, Austin pressed his lips tight. He had just confirmed his earlier
hunch.
It easily made his blood boil that he had just lost four semi-governing god slaves in one go.
"Well, fair enough.
But since they've made their move, don't expect me to just sit idly."
Austin let out a devious grin.
"Winslow, come with me."
Austin cast a glance at Winslow's direction, ordering him to follow quickly.
Since four of his semi-governing god slaves were killed off, it could only mean that whoever did it must
be a governing god.
If he was to send another group of semi-governing god slaves to the site of the incident, he was sure
that the result would just be the same. He was not dumb to send his men just to be slaughtered.
Therefore, he had no other choice. Austin had to go there in person.
Soon after, about a dozen of semi-governing gods formed an army under the direct leadership of
Austin. Then, they left the Purple Sword World to take a look at the site where his men kept on dying.
As they traveled, Austin noticed that the speed of such a bigger group was naturally slower. If he
traveled by himself, he would have covered more distance in a very short time.
But Austin didn't really care that much if they took longer to get to the place. Besides, he also wanted
the people to take a look at his grand troop. He wanted to establish the reputation of the Curry Sword
Sect. Thus, he deliberately took a detour and flaunted his troop in different worlds.
Just as Austin planned, their group had indeed attracted the attention of countless creatures.
These forces and creatures could do nothing but watch as the grand troop of the Curry Sword Sect
traversed through their territory. They didn't dare to block their way or even utter a word against them.
Although they felt like they were being looked down upon, they could only stand aside and let the troop
pass.
Watching the back of the troop disappeared into the distance, one of the leaders of a smaller force spit
to the ground and snapped,
"What a bunch of show-offs!
They had just established their sect not long ago. How dare they actually parade their troops and
swagger around like this?
It's too tasteless!"
"That's right. They shouldn't brag too much. A newly found sect should achieve several
accomplishments first before they do this," another bystander expressed his opinion.
"Shush! Do you know what you're saying? Do you still want to live?
Didn't you see that the young man in the lead was none other than the infamous Austin guy?!
He alone could take on several governing gods simultaneously. What accomplishment do you still want
from him? You don't have the right to talk like that behind his back.
Even if you don't agree with the way he presents his army, you still better watch your mouth.
If one of his cohorts hears you slander their leader's name, you should bid goodbye to your life."
Several people continued discussing and arguing as Austin's army eventually faded out of their sight.
Wherever they went, the grand troop of the Curry Sword Sect was surrounded by numerous creatures
who wanted to take a glimpse at the rapidly rising army.
The news quickly spread that the Curry Sword Sect was out in the void, thus many people got out of
their homes in advance before Austin's army could even pass by.
This was exactly what Austin wanted. He wanted the people to respect them.
Eventually, they reached their true destination.
Because of the detours, it took them almost a day to arrive.
But now, the place was finally right in front of their eyes.
It was called the Genuine Sword World.
In this world, the Curry Sword Sect had actually built two strongholds here.
However, both of them were completely destroyed just within a day.
At this moment, Austin and his men landed on a land of this world
From there, they saw a city of a relatively large scale.
This city was actually called the Curry Sword City.
It was just newly built and it covered a large area of this continent.
This city was supposed to be the center of their stronghold in this world.
The Curry Sword Sect had spent a lot of money and effort just to build and make this city a nice place.
However, it was all in shambles now. There were broken walls and debris everywhere that made Austin
and his men clenched their fists.
Upon closer inspection, the dilapidated city was densely packed with corpses and broken limbs that
scattered in every direction.
Most of them were from divine gods.
On the ground, the blood from the corpses still flowed like a river, and the aura of death still lingered in
the air.
It could easily be determined that these dead creatures must be very powerful beings when they were
still alive.
Even after death, their blood still contained abundant energy and wouldn't easily dry up.
Furthermore, Austin easily recognized that most of the dead divine gods in the ruined city were his
slaves.
As he counted the number of the corpses in the city, he gritted his teeth in exasperation.
"How dare they kill my people?!
I will make sure to find them and take their lives as well!"
Austin's eyes blazed ferociously as his words sent a chill down the spine of his slaves.
"Listen! Block off this area immediately!"
Austin immediately ordered, his voice almost trembled in anger.
Without wasting any time, Winslow quickly led the troop of the Curry Sword Sect to seal off the entire
area.
Austin also took action and sat with his legs crossed in the sky above the Curry Sword City. Then, he
calmly released his power and gathered several laws to read the flow of time. He needed to know for
himself what exactly happened there.
Under the influence of Austin's magnificent power, the whole city was soon wreathed by a thick and
heavy fog. Strong laws enveloped the land under his feet as he continued unleashing his power.
The laws of time, space, reincarnation, and causality were all cast down onto the city.
Then, streaks of dazzling law runes, like a school of fish swimming in the deep sea, hovered around
the city.
In terms of these laws, Austin's achievements had already reached a very high level. Thus, he was
confident that everything should go pretty well.
Soon enough, with Austin's overwhelming magical skills, several illusory scenes began to appear in the
city.
The constantly moving images materialized here and there.
Everything that happened in the city the past few days was clearly shown and re-enacted in front of
Austin.
In the beginning, the city was full of hustle and bustle. Everything seemed normal and showed a good
trend of prosperity and development.
Several premium-grade divine gods were stationed in the city and were responsible for guarding it.
Although it was just a newly-constructed city, it possessed high-grade spiritual energies gathering
within it. Due to its superior position, the chaotic energy flowing inside the city was very rich. Thus,
many creatures were lured to reside and settle here.
Moreover, the Curry Sword Sect was known to be affluent and efficient in running the city.
Therefore, even if it just came into existence, it already got the trust of many creatures to dwell in here.
Soon enough, the city flourished more and developed into a lively one.
Then, unexpectedly, something happened soon after.
A black cloud appeared out of the blue and covered the sky of the entire city.
Immediately after, a black figure that oozed with tremendous pressure emerged from the cloud and
began the crazy massacre within the walls of the city.
The black figure emitted an extremely evil aura that looked peculiar and vicious.
In an instant, the genuine divine gods of the Curry Sword Sect were slaughtered like
livestock.
