"If he could take out a genuine premium-grade divine god in a heartbeat, he should be at least a semi-
governing god.
However, it's also possible that he's already a governing god.
But no matter how strong he is, I won't let him go," Austin said with blazing determination on his face.
A murderous glint flashed through his eyes as he stared at the figure.
Layers of black mist of laws covered the murderer when he killed his victims.
Hence, no one could figure out what he looked like.
With the use of his omnipotent skill, Austin looked at the receding figure and tried to see his face
through the mist.
However, the mysterious figure immediately noticed what he was trying to do.
A condescending snort left his lips and he quickly released more mist of laws to prevent Austin from
prying further.
'Well, this creature is quite good with laws.
We exist at different time spots but he can perceive me prying into him from the future.
Is he someone who has lived for a long time?'
Austin couldn't help but think to himself as he was caught by surprise.
Only old creatures that had lived for a long time or governing gods had such a deep understanding of
laws.
Austin tried to get to the bottom of the events in the Curry Sword City.
After his investigation, he realized that the murderer was that mysterious figure.
However,
he failed to clearly see his face and sense his spiritual soul aura.
"Let's see how good you are at your law cultivation,"
Austin said with an arrogant sneer.
Due to the mysterious figure's mastery in law cultivation, Austin couldn't help but be more curious about
this person.
After a moment, Austin used another brilliant secret skill of deduction.
It was one of the skills he learnt in the Fallen Divine Valley.
Since the sky-devouring dog taught it to him, it was very likely one of the skills that Austin's statue
master had cultivated.
In other words, this secret skill of deduction probably originally belonged to a god of chaos.
At the same time, Austin also unleashed a mix of profound original chaotic laws, including the law of
space, the law of time, the law of reincarnation, and the law of causality.
Mysterious runes formed endlessly and enveloped the mysterious figure, penetrating the mist of laws
on his body.
Once the runes managed to completely pierce through the mist, Austin could finally see his face.
After a moment, a smile appeared on Austin's lips.
"I could sense a hint of his aura!"
Bright joy lit up his entire expression.
Two streaks of light shot out of the mysterious figure's dark eyes the moment he realized that someone
was prying into him.
However, they were in two different periods of time.
Although the mysterious figure could sense that someone was attempting to perceive him,
he wasn't strong enough to hurt his opponent who was in the future.
Therefore, Austin didn't feel even a hint of fear.
Soon enough, all the light vanished into thin air.
Once he was satisfied with his findings, Austin deactivated the secret skill.
All the images which showed what happened in the past of the Curry Sword City disappeared in the
void.
"I finally sensed the murderer's aura.
There's nowhere for him to hide in the entire Sword Cosmos anymore,"
Austin said with a cruel sneer.
Once Winslow saw that Austin was done, he hurriedly walked up to him.
"Master, should we reconstruct this base?" he asked politely.
"Not now.
I'll hunt down the murderer first.
Even if we rebuild this place, he might come here to wreak havoc otherwise."
Austin gave it a moment's thought but ultimately ended up shaking his head.
"Master, you're right,"
Winslow immediately replied in agreement.
"Let's go to the next damaged stronghold,"
Austin said.
Under Austin's lead, his large army quickly went to their next stop.
A moment later,
they arrived at another stronghold in the Genuine Sword World.
Of course, the sight that greeted them was the same as the one they left behind as it also suffered the
same damages.
This base was also a city called the Curry Sword City.
Numerous dead bodies littered everywhere Austin turned to look. They were all members of the Curry
Sword Sect.
Many of them were divine gods.
Five of the victims were genuine premium-grade divine gods.
Even a semi-governing god met his demise.
When this first began, Winslow sent out four semi-governing gods to look into the destruction of the
Curry Sword Sect's bases.
One of them was the now dead semi-governing god on the ground before them.
All the divine gods who lost their lives were also Austin's slaves.
"Lock this area down immediately,"
Austin grimly ordered.
Moving as one, the troops of the Curry Sword Sect immediately took action. In just a few moments, the
area was completely sealed shut.
Meanwhile, Austin sat cross legged above the city and unleashed the secret skill of deduction again.
It wasn't long before he found that it was the mysterious figure who was once again behind all the
destruction.
It was once a very lively and bustling city where many sword cultivators gathered.
However, a mysterious figure floated down from the sky one day and released a thick black fog that
covered the entire city in the blink of an eye.
Once every inch of the city was enveloped in the fog, the slaughter began.
All the divine gods of the Curry Sword Sect were slaughtered in a heartbeat. All of them were like
sitting ducks in front of the overwhelming power of the mysterious figure.
Then one of Austin's semi-governing god slaves showed up and tried to fight the mysterious figure.
However, the mysterious figure completely gained the upper hand with just a few moves. Even the
semi-governing god couldn't do anything and faced defeat.
Without any hesitation, Austin used his secret skill of deduction to make mysterious runes travel
through space and head towards the mysterious figure.
"Humph!"
Once again, the mysterious figure sensed that someone was trying to perceive him.
More thick mist of laws immediately gushed out and covered his body to keep Austin from sensing him.
However, Austin's secret skill was very brilliant. Mysterious runes actually managed to penetrate the
black mist on the surface of the mysterious figure's body before they drilled into his body to perceive
him.
Eventually, Austin sensed another hint of the mysterious figures aura.
"Who is it? Who's peeping at me?"
A hiss left the mysterious figure and he snapped to look towards Austin's direction, his furious gaze
piercing through space and time.
An answering sneer appeared on Austin's lips before he halted his use of the skill.
In the blink of an eye, the image of the mysterious figure disappeared.
Since they weren't in the same time period, Austin found no reason to fear retaliation.
"I got more information about the murderer,"
Austin sneered.
Thanks to the secret skill of deduction that the sky-devouring dog imparted to him, Austin was able to
find clues about the murderer quickly. If it weren't for this technique, he wouldn't have been able to
capture the murderer's aura through different spaces.
"Next, I have to figure out who the murderer is and find where he's hiding,"
Austin murmured to himself.
"No matter who you are and which force you came from, I'll hunt you down and take your life."
A murderous look appeared in Austin's eyes.
Once they sensed that he was done, Winslow and other semi-governing gods approached Austin.
"Master, did you get anything?"
Winslow asked cautiously.
"I know who's behind all this now.
We're going to settle the score with him,"
Austin declared.
