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?!
