Chapter 1292 Who The Hell Are You
The scene in the Trinary Star City was azy and solemn one.
Everyone here had been busy either resting or cultivating for thest two days.
The need for this respite arose from the fact that most of them had gotten slightly, or even badly injured
during the war the other day.
Even those who hadn''t sustained any injuries had been squeezed out of a great amount of vital energy
and needed some time to replenish it.
However, things weren''t as bleak as they sounded; most cultivators were back in their peak conditions
within two days.
This was mainly thanks to the cultivation resources Austin had provided them with.
An additional benefit was that those abundant training resources, whenbined with the tense battle
they had faced had let some of the cultivators make breakthroughs.
When this came to Austin''s knowledge, he seemed d to hear about their progress in cultivation.
Inside the casten''s residence, Austin, the queen, and all those masters whose cultivation bases were
at or above the Primal Holy Realm were gathered in the hall.
"Those demons who attacked us were from the Crescent Kingdom near the Purple Phoenix Holy
Kingdom. It is a small one and we have some good news.
ording to our spies, the number of demons in the Crescent Kingdom is the lowest among all. Only
fifty thousand demons stand guard in that area.
I am nning to attack that kingdom and wipe out every single demon present there. Leave none alive,
so to speak,"
Austin announced.
"Sir, we only have slightly more than fifty thousand men right now.
I''m not sure if we can get that country back,"
rk responded with a frown.
"Yes I know. And there are only over fifty thousand demons in that kingdom. So, no need to worry. We
can destroy them," Austin reassured him with a calm smile.
And he was seconded soon.
"I agree with themander. Last time, we fought off one hundred thousand demons. This time, it''s
only fifty thousand or so.
Therefore, I''m sure that we''ll seed this time as well,"
Brandon voiced out his thought.
There was another reason behind his surefire belief of sess. ''That mysterious demon can take care
of more than twenty thousand demons on its own.
It''s not going to be a difficult task for us to ughter every single demon in that kingdom.'' He was
thinking about Austin''s demon.
"Alright, then. If that''s the case, I''m okay with that.
And it is true. If we can really wipe out the demons of the Crescent Kingdom, it will be a sign to the
demons and will also mark the sess of our retaliation.
That would mean a lot in the long term,"
rk agreed too.
To be honest, the Southern Alliances Army had been mainly focused on defending its quarters till now,
so they had never taken back any of the kingdoms which the demon race had upied.
If Austin and his men could destroy all the demons in the Crescent Kingdom, it would mean an entire
new kingdom in their folio and that, in turn, would boost troop morale.
Since rk and Brandon, who were at the Semi-holy Realm agreed with Austin, the other seven
cultivators of the Primal Holy Realm dly agreed to his proposal too.
"Round up our men and ready them for a fight. We''re going there within the hour,"
Austinmanded.
rk, Brandon and the seven masters of the Primal Holy Realm immediately nodded and left to
convene their men. This was going to be a good day!
But as soon as they took their leave, Austin and the queen suddenly became alert and suspicion arose
on their face.
Using their spiritual sense, the two of them could easily detect that about a dozen people were headed
towards their city at a rapid pace. They were only about a mile away for now, but would get there soon.
Baldwin seemed to be in lead and he looked like a sword-light. Countless streaks of aggressive sword
aura were following in his wake and they seemed like they could destroy everything in their path.
"It''s him,"
Austin and the queen remarked in unison, their eyes narrowing simultaneously like clock-work.
Baldwin had forced the two of them to hand over the Magic Sea Water back in the Nonuple Isles. It
hadn''t been something they were particrly fond of.
Besides, Austin could also see Colin among those who were following Baldwin.
"Looks like they are here on behalf of the Southern Alliances Army.
Let''s go meet them and see what business brings them down here,"
Austin said to the queen.
The next minute, the two of them rose in the air and began floating above the Trinary Star City.
A few seconds passed.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Dozens of people reached the sky above the heart of the Trinary Star City and came to a halt midair,
floating like a hover-board, their clothes billowing in the wind.
Each of them also emitted an overwhelming vital energy force. Its formidable effects enveloped the
whole city, and everyone could sense the tension in the atmosphere.
Even the most powerful ones down below could feel it and felt fearful of this sudden arrival. What was
going on?
Then, they looked up and saw those masters in midair.
They could tell that the visitors to their city were at the Primal Holy Realm, Semi-holy Realm or the Holy
Realm. No wonder those who were at or below the Heaven Realm were in awe of the guests.
That was when Austin''sughter of derision resounded all around the city.
"Why have you all released your vital energy force like that? Have youe here to just show off your
powers?" he teased.
"Shut up, Austin! Come forward and kneel before me right now.
Do you think your ridiculous and sneaky efforts go unnoticed? Kneel right now!"
Baldwin roared in a furious tone at the young man in front of him.
As soon as he had caught sight of Austin, his gaze had been transfixed on thetter.
"What?"
Austin''s expression changed immediately.
''Kneel before this clown? I know that Baldwin holds a grudge against me because I refused to give him
the Magic Sea Water in the Nonuple Isles. I think he is here for revenge and to do that, he hase
here on behalf of the leaders of Southern Alliances Army by trying to set me up. He even has the balls
to ask me to kneel down before him, '' Austin thought to himself.
Anger rose in his heart immediately.
''The way I see it, the man holds a ratherrge grudge against me. Even if I try to defend myself, he
won''t believe me.''
Deciding that defense wasn''t the right move right now, Austin met Baldwin''s arrogant gaze with a

defiant sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"Who the hell are you to ask that of me? What makes you think I would follow your orders?"
he remarked in an unhurried tone.
An eerie silence followed that question.
Those who had heard Austin felt their hearts skip a beat in fear.
Baldwin was one of the most prestigious people in the South Continent. It had already been
established for several hundred years that he was one of the strongest cultivators across the country.
Even the elders and the leaders of the top-most sects in the South Continent would behave humbly
and treat him in a respectful manner. They spoke highly of him and didn''t dare criticize him.
But now, a young man was challenging him like that. Who knew what would be the ramifications of
such a stupid choice!
"You brat!" An elder dressed like a Taoist priest cut through the silence and walked over to Baldwin''s
side.
He was trembling violently in anger and his face had turned red.
"You''re getting way too cocky, Austin.
Who the hell do you think you are? Baldwin is a distinguished master and he can ask anything of you.
How can you dare to provoke him?
You should really learn to be humble and know your ce.
Now kneel before Baldwin and apologize to him. Beg him for forgiveness or you''re going to be dead
meat today!"
The man who was lecturing Austin in ethics was Colin.
"Oh hey, it''s you.
Wait, I don''t get it. You''re nothing but a deserter. Why have youe here again?
Do you have no shame?"
Austin calmly responded with a sneer, turning towards Colin now.
"You... "
Colin was so furious now that he couldn''t find the words to curse this man. He red at him with a
resentful look in his eyes, though in his heart, there were more than a thousand emotions and thoughts
for Austin.
Everyone knew that Colin had run away from the battlefield the other day. With that feat, he had
be aughingstock among the cultivators of the South Continent.
To be honest, Colin regretted being a deserter a lot, but now, when Austin had mentioned this matter
again in public, it had brought back too many painful memories.
Colin''s resentment towards Austin was beyond description now.
