Chapter 4429 The Whole Sect Decided To Hide


    "From this moment on, the Sword Cosmos is under the ruling of the Curry Sword Sect.


    If any of you dare to object to this, I will return and handle you as I deem fit. In fact, I may decide to


    destroy the whole n."


    Austin''s voice from the message he had left in the ancestralnd of the Xi''men n echoed loudly for a


    long time.


    For a moment, everything in the ancestralnd of the Xi''men n was dead silent because no one


    dared to say anything.


    Although Austin had left, his power still haunted them.


    "We are safe now!"


    "Leader, Austin finally left!"


    a few members of the Xi''men n cried out in joy.


    The leader of the Xi''men n and the six governing gods, however, looked sullen. They watched


    Austin''s retreating back and they didn''t respond to their people.


    They were not reconciled at all.


    In fact, what Austin had said irritated them deeply.


    ''Is there really no other options for the Xi''men n apart from handing over the ruling power of the


    Sword Cosmos?'' they all wondered, scratching their heads.


    Unfortunately, if they acted,


    Austin would return and his fighting power would ovee all of them.


    "Austin has left the ancestralnd of the Xi''men n!"


    "Yes! And he agreed to that mysterious woman''s request. He let the Xi''men n go!"


    "The woman! She was the one who saved the n!"


    All throughout the Sword Cosmos, countless creatures were talking about the event.


    "Will Austin take down the remaining two major forces in one go?"


    "Can you guess which force Austin will attack next?"

    "The Sky Sword Sect or the Long Sword Sect? I''m so curious! I can hardly wait!"


    The creatures in the headquarters of the Xi''men n were also gossiping after Austin''s departure.


    Meanwhile,


    in the headquarters of the Sky Sword Sect,


    all the senior members of the Sky Sword Sect were gathered in a magnificent conference hall.


    "Leader, the Flying Immortal Sword Sect is not allowed out of their headquarters.


    And it seems that the Xi''men n have stopped fighting Austin too.


    Out of the four major forces, only the Long Sword Sect and our Sky Sword Sect are left.


    It will be more difficult to deal with Austin with only two of us,"


    a senior member of the sect informed the leader, looking very worried.


    "You''re right. That little bastard has grown strong.


    Even if we worked together with the other force, we can''t beat him."


    One of the other senior members agreed. They all shook their heads and sighed.


    "In my opinion, I think the Sky Sword Sect should stay inside and never go out again.


    That way, Austin won''t have any reason toe after us,"


    an old man in grey robes who was sitting cross-legged beside the sect leader suggested in a slow


    voice.


    He was a reclusive elder of the sect.


    "No.


    That will make us look like cowards!


    We are the Sky Sword Sect, one of the four major forces! We have been this way for too long. We can''t


    show our weakness to a young man!


    If we were to do that, the Sky Sword Sect would be aughingstock in the Sword Cosmos!"


    a rtively radical senior member eximed, throwing his hands up in the air.


    "I know what you mean,


    but we aren''t strong enough to beat Austin. That is the sad truth.


    And we can''t deny that


    if we confront him head on to make us look less weak,


    he will put us all in our ce. The result will be miserable for us.


    You all saw what happened to the Flying Immortal Sword Sect and the Xi''men n. How could we let


    the same happen to us?"


    another senior membermented.


    "Leader, what do you think?"


    another one asked, looking directly at the sect leader.


    In an instant, all the eyes of the senior members in the hall were on the leader.


    "Leader, it''s time to make a decision.


    We want to avoid Austining here,"


    the old man in grey reminded.


    "We will neither fight him, nor yield to him,"


    the leader answered.


    That wasn''t the answer that they were expecting. All of their eyes widened and their jaws dropped.


    "What do you mean?"


    someone asked.


    "I think I was pretty clear.


    We will neither face Austin nor make peace with him,"


    the leader repeated.


    However, the others still didn''t understand what their sect leader really meant.


    "Okay. I''ll dumb it down. We''re going to give up our current headquarters and find another ce to hide


    for the time being.


    Once things settle down, we will find a way to deal with Austin,"


    the leader exined.


    "So we''re going to hide?"


    a senior member asked again.


    "That''s right.


    That''s exactly what we''re going to do,"


    the leader replied with a nod.


    "Hide?"


    Everyone looked worried. They exchangedplicated looks with each other and didn''t say anything


    more.


    Never before had they been forced into hiding.


    It was the most shameful punishment of all.


    "Guys, I''ve thought about it. We are stuck in our current situation and we must do what is best for the


    longevity of our sect.


    A wise man won''t suffer losses when he doesn''t have to. As long as we stay alive, there will always be


    hope for us,"


    the leaderforted his men.


    For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall dipped. Everyone still seemed hesitant.


    The senior members of the Sky Sword Sect had always been arrogant andmanding. They never


    walked away from a fight.


    But they also understood that their sect leader was wise and looking after their best interests.


    In the end, hiding was the best choice for the Sky Sword Sect,


    because the sect didn''t have the strength to fight against Austin right now.


    After a lot of thought, they began to voice out their opinions.


    "I agree with you, leader.


    We need to stay alive and be stronger.


    Austin is now in full swing. We can''t afford to fight him head on now,"


    the old man in grey said, breaking the silence.


    "I agree."


    "Leader, you are right."


    It took a while but all the other senior members of the Sky Sword Sect were finally on the same page


    again.


    They had witnessed Austin''s horrifying power many times and they had no interest in challenging him


    now.


    "Since you all agree, we should move now.


    Tell everyone to pack up and leave as soon as possible.


    Remember, Austin is greedy. Try your best to take all the valuable things with you so he gets nothing,"


    the leader announced.


    Immediately, the rest of the group stood up and scurried off to prepare for their departure.


    A few minutester,


    all the people of the Sky Sword Sect were gathered around an ancient altar.


    This altar had been property of the Sky Sword Sect since the ancient times.


    The sect leader and several governing gods worked together to activate the altar.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The altar shook violently, burst out strong transmission energy, and transferred all the people of the Sky


    Sword Sect somewhere deep into the void.


    In the blink of an eye, they were all gone.


    Shortly after they had left the headquarters,


    Austin arrived.


    "Look!


    Austin is going to attack the Sky Sword Sect!"


    one of the many creatures in the Sword Cosmos that were watching Austin said.


    Since there were no guards to stop him, Austin entered the headquarters of the Sky Sword Sect easily.


    "What? There is no one here!


    What happened? Where did they go?"


    Standing in the headquarters of the Sky Sword Sect, Austin was stunned. He walked around and


    checked every crack and crevice.


    It was all empty.


    What was more, there was nothing valuable that he could find.


    "They escaped."


    Austin thought for a while and realized what had happened. A bitter smile overtook his face.
