The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 434

After Austin finished off Abbott and his two guardians, Violet also found Evan and Herbert and got them out of prison.

Their bodies were covered with cuts and bruises and were too feeble to utter a word.

When Austin checked on their condition, he was relieved to see they only suffered minor wounds. These weren't serious, and they would soon recover.

It was deep-seated hatred for Austin and the innate ferocity of their members that led the Blood Wolf Team to treat Evan and Herbert like dogs. They bashed them, then kicked them, and tortured the two in every possible way. As a result, the two disciples were beaten so badly, and were left with bruises all over in the few days when they were held captive by the Blood Wolf Team.

After Austin left the house, he ordered his men to set the Blood Wolf Team's stronghold on fire and burn it to ashes.

The battle ended with the complete annihilation of the Blood Wolf Team. Over two hundred warriors, several dozens of maids and servants, who could barely fight, were all wiped out. There was not a soul left alive after the slaughter.

The news about the fight soon spread like wildfire all over the imperial capital city early the next day.

At the moment in every household, road, and lane, people were discussing the news. They engaged in heated exchanges from the information they heard. Arguments would occasionally break out when two parties had opposing views.

The most significant news was the death of Abbott, the powerful but ruthless overlord, a dominant figure of the Violet Orchid Empire.

Warriors in the imperial capital city were stupefied when they first heard the news. Then they shook their heads in disbelief. Impossible!

They thought, 'Abbot is dead? Are they kidding?'

Abbott was not as famous as the Sect Leaders of the five great sects. But the Blood Wolf Team did better under his leadership in the past few years. Eventually, the Blood Wolf Team gradually caught up and was soon on a par with the five prominent sects when it came to strength and power.

Moreover, Abbott was also a mighty figure. Having achieved the medium stage of the Mysterious Realm, he was among the few considered as a real master in the Violet Orchid Empire.

Although Austin won the championship in the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games, it was only the first time that people saw him and his exceptional talent.

The Outstanding Talents Exchange Games was a competition intended for the young generation. Being the winner in that contest didn't necessarily mean that Austin had the ability to challenge the masters of the older generation.

What made the news of his death more dubious was the fact that Abbott was a famous martial arts master known for his cruelty.

So it was not surprising that people who learned of his death were unanimous in their disbelief.

But once the news was confirmed and backed by evidence, they were all dumbstruck.

On that day, Austin's name was brought up thousands of time in discussions among crowds in the imperial capital city. What happened to Abbott was incredible.

The young man who topped the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games became the center of attention. . . .

However, Austin was oblivious to all the fuss about him in the city.

After burning the Blood Wolf Team's place down, he immediately led his men back to the palace where he was staying. He returned the horses to their stables and the weapons to the storage.

Then he did a rough assessment of what he had lost in the battle. The ten corpse generals were all there, undamaged.

Unfortunately, he lost forty of his five hundred guards in the battle. It pained him to think about the death of these soldiers. But when he reflected on what they gained from the lives sacrificed—Abbott's death, Austin felt slightly better. The number was insignificant compared to the accomplishment they had achieved.

Once he was sure that Evan and Herbert were resting comfortably in his palace, the young warrior immediately ordered his men to send for the best doctor, and buy the most effective pills and elixirs to treat them so they could recover faster.

It was no secret that Austin was very wealthy now. His Space Ring was full of vital energy crystals. But even the young warrior had no idea how rich he was.

Aside from the many vital energy crystals he had accumulated, the fifteen million that were awarded to him by the Emperor multiplied his stash considerably.

After he arranged for all that Evan and Herbert needed, a servant escorted a eunuch into the room.

"Sir, I was sent by the Emperor to accompany you to the imperial treasure house so you can pick martial arts manuals of your choice," the eunuch informed Austin.

As he spoke, he gave Austin a flattering smile.

According to the rules, the top winner of the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games had the privilege to go to the imperial treasure house to select three martial arts manuals.

Compared to the five famous sects, the properties of the royal house were much more substantial, and their strength much more staggering. Therefore, Austin assumed the manuals collected by the royal house and stored in the imperial treasure house might be more valuable than the manuals which the five sects possessed.

He was excited to find out what kind of manuals he would find stored in the royal house.

Politely, Austin said, "Okay. Please lead the way."

The warrior followed the eunuch and headed for the royal palace.

The royal palace was as magnificent as it was massive. Inside, pavilions and buildings were built close together. Thanks to the eunuch's familiarity with the twists and turns that would lead to the palace, Austin avoided getting lost in the crisscrossing paths. Finally, he arrived at the ancient structure after an hour's journey.

As they approached, Austin raised his head and saw a plate that hung on the building's facade. Inscribed on it was the name of the palace written in ancient style calligraphy. The inscription read Imperial Treasure House.

The words glimmered proudly under the sun, giving off a noble and grand aura.

"Sir Austin, please follow me to the entrance of the treasure house.

You are free to look around the treasure house. But I have to remind you beforehand that you must always remain quiet while inside. No one is allowed to speak loudly inside the place," the eunuch warned.

He checked if Austin understood him.
