There was dead silence in the altar within the Flying Immortal World.
The senior members of the Flying Immortal Sword Sect remained silent,
for they didn't know how to answer Austin's question.
Austin was right.
It looked like the Flying Immortal Sword Sect wasn't brave enough to fight him.
"Leader! This brat is too arrogant.
Let me go out and fight him!"
a governing god in the altar said angrily.
"Calm down.
Even if we all go out together, we may not be able to defeat him. Forget going out on your own.
You will only court death if you do.
Don't do such stupid things. Just hold in your anger and bear this humiliation for the time being. In fact, all of us should learn to do this. I know it's hard, but our first priority must be to stay alive before we carry out our plans to handle this hateful man!"
the leader of the Flying Immortal Sword Sect said sternly.
"Our plans? Could it be that..."
The members were surprised at the leader's words, looking at him inquiringly.
"That's right.
I've contacted the Xi'men Clan, the Sky Sword Sect, and the Long Sword Sect.
All the senior members of our four major forces are going to find a secret place to discuss tactics about how to deal with Austin.
What we're going to do is to gather all our strength to beat him.
Besides, the people of the Blade Cosmos have also contacted us and will join hands with us.
So we will actually gather all the power we can use from the whole Sword Cosmos.
Only in this way can we defeat him,"
the leader explained.
"Great! This is the greatest news I've heard of late!"
The senior members of the sect brimmed with excitement upon hearing this news.
"We can't deal with Austin with our strength alone. It's a Herculean task.
But there is no need for us to fight him alone.
That would be unwise and would only cause more casualties.
Let's look at his challenge objectively,"
the leader continued.
"That makes sense."
The rest of them nodded in agreement.
"Since the four major forces have given up the opportunity to fight me, does that mean that you have voluntarily given up your rule over the Sword Cosmos?
Good. From now on, the Curry Sword Sect will rule the Sword Cosmos!"
Austin announced as he stood outside the altar.
His rumbling voice spread out in all directions, as far as billions of miles from where he stood.
For a moment, a ringing silence descended upon the whole world.
Austin's words had shocked everyone.
What he was doing and saying
was a testament to his overbearing and domineering personality.
"Austin, you are daydreaming! Our four major forces are the real rulers of the Sword Cosmos!"
A furious voice sounded from the altar of the Flying Immortal Sword Sect.
"I know you are not convinced.
But it doesn't matter. If you don't accept it, I will defeat you until you surrender to me.
But you disappoint me. You aren't brave to even come out into the open and face me. You call yourself one of the so-called four major forces, but you don't even have that courage."
Austin sneered.
He was determined to beat all those who questioned his power until they gave in.
It didn't seem like Austin's words could administer any more shock, but that was exactly what they did.
Everyone now knew exactly how powerfully overbearing Austin was.
The Flying Immortal Sword Sect was immersed in an eerie silence,
their senior members lost for words.
But they had to accept that Austin was telling the truth. They hadn't even dared to face and fight him.
This was a great humiliation,
which would only bring dishonor and disgrace to the Flying Immortal Sword Sect.
Helplessness crashed over every member of the Flying Immortal Sword Sect, their hearts heavy.
They could hardly bear the burden of these uncomfortable feelings.
But they could also do nothing in the face of Austin's provocation.
A few members of the Flying Immortal Sword Sect, however, were short tempered and found their self-esteem bruised at this. Their faces were distorted and their bodies were trembling violently in rage.
Austin stood outside the altar for a moment, shook his head, and said with a dramatic sigh,
"Alright then.
I don't think you will face me now. Fine. What a bunch of cowards!"
