After the fierce battle, the headquarters of the Heaven Pavilion Sect was destroyed beyond recognition, and its grounds were littered with corpses of dead warriors.
The troops of the Black Wind Gang and the Tiger Gang were thoroughly annihilated.
In the whole duration of the battle, there was a group of people who were just looking on passively, unwilling to get involved with the conflict. It appeared that they were indifferent with the sentiments of the two opposing sides.
These men belonged to the forces that joined the Heaven Pavilion Sect only recently.
Those forces were only willing to submit to the Heaven Pavilion Sect in order to ensure a temporary refuge. That meant that they didn't pledge their allegiance to the sect, and that they couldn't care any less about what would happen to it.
With no commitment to the sect, they purposefully stepped back when the war between the Heaven Pavilion Sect and the Black Wind Gang broke out.
The moment the Heaven Pavilion Sect took the upper hand in the war and it became obvious that the Black Wind Gang would lose, some of them started offering their help in order to give the impression that they had participated in the war and assisted their sect to victory.
This scam was easily caught by Austin's observant eyes.
To him, it was starting to feel like allowing them to join the Heaven Pavilion Sect was a grave mistake.
They had brought no good to the Heaven Pavilion Sect ever since they became a part of it. Instead, it could be argued that they had caused more trouble than what they were worth.
The Tiger Gang was a prime example of this. They attempted to take control of the Heaven Pavilion Sect, and even conspired with the Black Wind Gang to be able to do it.
With that, Austin quickly made the decision that a purge should be carried out in the Heaven Pavilion Sect as soon as possible.
Any other forces which joined the Heavenly Pavilion Sect for any other purposes instead of faithfully serving the sect could no longer remain in it.
After a while, the chaos caused by the war had been cleaned up.
Then Austin called a meeting with the seniors of the sect in the council hall.
Even the leaders of the forces that had submitted to the Heaven Pavilion Sect were invited to and were present in the said meeting.
Austin's eyes coldly ran down the crowd.
When the sharp gaze fell upon the leaders of the newly joined forces, they instinctively lowered their heads in fear.
After all, they knew what they did and did not do when the intense battle was raging on.
Most of them didn't aid the sect.
Some of them even took it a bit further -- ever since the Black Wind Gang became stronger, they actually stood with them in secret instead of the troops of the Heaven Pavilion Sect.
Now that the Black Wind Gang had been wiped out, these leaders begun having serious regrets about the decisions they had made.
Under Austin's intense glare, they slowly came to an understanding as to why Austin had called for this meeting.
From that moment on, they realized that Austin, indeed, was the real ruler of the Heaven Pavilion Sect.
His words were laws, and whatever he decided on doing would happen.
"Everybody, attention please," Austin started, his tone serious and piercing.
"The Heaven Pavilion Sect once opened its door and allowed all of you in because we all took pity on you. Under the suppression of the Heaven Palace, you had nowhere to run and in grave danger. Since you came here, we have provided you with protection and shelter.
The sect even makes sure that tens of thousands of your people are fed. As far as I know, the Heaven Pavilion Sect has never asked any of you to repay them, even if they fully saved your and your people's lives.
Despite that, you still have the audacity to act the way you acted during the war that we had just been through." Austin paused and once again looked around the room, his eyes full anger. "With that, I have nothing to say to you except this:
you must vacate this place before the day ends.
There will be grave consequences if you fail to do that."
As Austin's eyes once again swept across the room, he made no attempt to disguise his disgust and indignation.
A chorus of shocked and horrified gasps filled the room.
"What!" one leader dared whisper, looking incredibly stunned.
The Triangle Zone was still in turmoil, and chaos still abounded in its regions.
Many of them had unfortunately fell under the control of the Heaven Palace and the demon race.
None of the forces were strong enough to defend themselves against the Heaven Palace and the demon race on their own. When they all gathered in the Heaven Pavilion Sect and their powers converged, they actually started to have a chance to survive their oppressors in the Triangle Zone.
They were also aided by the clever array in the headquarters of the Heaven Pavilion Sect, which was sufficient to defend its people.
So without any doubt, staying inside and with the Heaven Pavilion Sect was the safest and wisest thing they could do at the moment.
However, they were now faced with a leader who intended on kicking them out of the only safe place for them to reside in.
"The Tiger Gang is the one that should be blamed! Collude with the Black Wind Gang and slyly take them to the Heaven Pavilion Sect! We have nothing to do with their sordid business!"
one of the leaders said, trying his best to clean his hand off any responsibility.
"That's right! Furthermore, it would be incredibly unwise to push through with your proposal considering the threat we are all under. Now it isn't the time for us to go our separate ways -- we need to unite and defend ourselves from external threats!
We have tens of thousands of people here in total. If we leave, it will be a huge loss for the Heaven Pavilion Sect!"
