Chapter 1696 Stewards Of The Vasteras Holy Land
With a sneer, Austin stood motionless watching the disciples from different sectsing towards him.
Three thousand puppets under his control suddenly gathered around him.
These puppets were as strong as cultivators at the Divine Bridge Realm.
"Move!"
With a single motion of his hand and the sound of hismanding voice, the puppets heeded his order
and attacked his enemies.
There were but a few hundred disciplesing from different top-tier sects. The puppets overwhelmed
them as expected.
The worst part was that the puppets were difficult opponents because each of their powers rivaled that
of the Divine Bridge Realm cultivator.
"Oh my god! What''s going on? Who are these people?!"
"They''re puppets! Where the hell did theye from?"
By the mere sight of the puppets, a majority of the cultivators who intended to take Austin''s life ran with
their tails tucked between their legs.
"I''m not letting any of you get away," Austin snorted coldly.
There was a sinister look in his eyes and a sardonic smile on his lips.
Under hismand, five thousand demonic beasts showed up. They rushed towards the disciples
from the three holynds, the three prominent ns and some first-ss sects.
Austin now had an army which wasprised of three thousand puppets and five thousand diabolic
beasts.
Pursued by Austin''s troops, the disciples from those top sects were killed one after the other.
Their terrified screams echoed throughout the square. Cries of agony and wails of dying men ringed
through the ears of everyone who heard it.
They wanted to flee but failed miserably.
Caught unawares, they were easily surrounded by puppets and diabolic beasts before they could even
make their escape.
Eight thousand puppets and diabolic beasts fought a few hundred cultivators. There was an enormous
gap in numbers between the two forces. There was no doubt that the former was going to win the
battle.
Momentster, each and every one of Austin''s enemies had fallen, all except for five people.
The survivors included the Holy Heritor of the Ji n, Max Ji; the Holy Son of the Rudimentary Holy
Land, Dave Huang; the Holy Son of the Arcane Holy Land, Stephen Zhou; the Holy Daughter of the
Arcane Holy Land, Polly Yuan and the Holy Heritor of the Shen n, Belinda Shen.
"Austin, you cold-blooded murderer," Max bellowed.
Looking at the corpses of the Ji n disciples, he trembled with indescribable anger.
He was also in grave danger now. He had his hands full taking on more than five hundred puppets and
a thousand diabolic beasts.
Even though he had cultivated the Dark Scripture and was incredibly powerful, he could barely defend
himself.
Overwhelmed by thousands of puppets and diabolic beasts, the other four survivors were also posed
with a disadvantage.
Staring at the enormous number of puppets and diabolic beasts, the other cultivators who were
watching the fight froze in terror.
After all, there were three thousand puppets which could match Divine Bridge Realm cultivators and
five thousand diabolic beasts which were as strong as Bitter Sea Realm cultivators.
None of the cultivators understood why these puppets and diabolic beasts which were supposed to be
in the Spiritual Tower suddenly turned up here.
But they guessed it had something to do with Austin.
At the sight of this anomaly, Stacy, Peacock Princess, Belle, and Bray were too shocked to utter a
word.
When all the cultivators thought that the five survivors couldn''t hold on any longer, a thundering voice
came from the distant sky.
"I''m warning you, Austin. Stop this at once!"
As everyone looked at the direction where the voice came from, they caught sight of two figures. They
were too far away to be recognized.
With the two figures approaching, the enormous vital energy force they released upied the whole
space and reached Austin.
''They''re undoubtedly powerful. Even though they are still far away, I could already feel their vital energy
force from this distance, '' Austin thought, narrowing his eyes at the two neers.
"Austin, they are Minor-perfection Realm masters. Get out of here right now.
Even if we outnumber them, we stand no chance of defeating them," Peacock Princess told Austin
through her spiritual sense.
She sounded worried.
''So they''re Minor-perfection Realm masters, '' Austin thought.
Since his cultivation base was low, he couldn''t see through their vital energy realms.
''I guess it''s time for me to leave, ''
Austin decided.
He realized that more strong cultivators from different top sects woulde here to deal with him any
minute soon.
Without any hesitation, he summoned the Spiritual Pot and controlled it to hit the spiritual souls of the
five survivors one by one.
In a matter of seconds, Max, Stephen, Polly, Dave, and Belinda let out screams of pain.
Before Austin summoned the Spiritual Pot to hit them, they struggled to ward off the attacks from
hundreds of puppets and demonic beasts.
It was impossible for them to fight off the powerful Spiritual Pot while handling a horde of strong foes.
Not long after, they were badly wounded.
Upon seeing this, Austin formed five huge palms with his vital energy. He directed the palms to capture
them. Since they had already sustained serious injuries, they could not do anything to resist and were
captured by Austin.
Austin sealed their vital energies before transporting his five captives into the ve Tower.
He sent the Holy Son of the Vasteras Holy Land into the ve Tower moments ago.
Austin intended to hold them instead of taking their lives because he thought they could still prove
useful for him.
After all, a Holy Son, Holy Daughter or Holy Heritor meant a lot to a sect or a n.
By this point, two peoplended on the square.
They were middle-aged men, and they both exuded a powerful vibe. They swept their cold gazes
through the heap of dead bodies on the ground.
These corpses were the disciples from the three holynds, the three prominent ns and several first-
ss sects.
"Austin, they are the stewards of the Vasteras Holy Land. They are terrifyingly powerful.
Your puppets and diabolic beasts might not be able to defeat them. Find a way out," Stacy suggested,
looking at the two stewards.
Stacy looked as if she''d seen a ghost because of how afraid she was.
Those cultivators who watched the fight held their breaths as they saw the two middle-aged men.
The steward of a holynd had a high status in the East Maind.
Even the leaders of the second-ss, third-ss and fourth-ss sects treated them with respect.
No wonder these young cultivators were in awe of the two middle-aged men.
The two stewards of the Vasteras Holy Land nced at the crowd before they settled their eyes on
Austin.
"You are young but ruthless. You''re a killer.
Release the Holy Son of our Vasteras Holy Land.
Destroy your own cultivation base ande with us.
Don''t get clever or try to y games. We will not be made fools," said one of the stewards.
He looked at Austin as if there were daggersing out of his eyes.
"If you cooperate, we might show you some mercy and keep you alive for a few days.
If you resist, I will torture you in the most wretched and miserable way possible,"
the other steward threatened, with an impassive look at Austin.
With their hands behind their backs, the two stewards released tremendous vital energy force on
Austin.
Austin struggled to move; he felt like he was buried under a mountain.
Even his own vital energy stopped running inside him.
''Minor-perfection Realm masters are really something, ''
Austinmented inwardly.
It was a relief to him that one of the stewards was at the preliminary stage of Minor-perfection Realm
and the other was at the medium stage of Minor-perfection Realm.
''Austin is over!''
The crowd shared the same thought ever since the arrival of the two stewards of the Vasteras Holy
Land.
"Screw you! You think you''re strong just because you''re at the Minor-perfection Realm? You even
threatened me to destroy my cultivation base by myself.
I will destroy yours first!"
Austin bellowed abruptly.
After these words came out of his mouth, three figures that emitted golden lights turned up and stood in
front of him.
They were the three puppets made of golden crystal that Austin had been rewarded on the seventh
floor of the ve Tower.
Each golden crystal puppet was as strong as a cultivator who was at the medium stage of Minor-
perfection Realm.
Moreover, even masters who had reached the premium stage of Minor-perfection Realm couldn''t

destroy them.
In a split second, the three puppets charged at the two stewards from the Vasteras Holy Land.
