Chapter 1762 Taking Austin Out


    It only took half a day for the news of Austin destroying the stronghold of the Rudimentary Holy Land in


    the Beyond City to spread like wildfire.


    For the past three days, it could be seen that Austin wasn''t going to stop and rest soon after beating up


    Steward Sebastia of the Vasteras Holy Land and ruined one of the Rudimentary Holy Land''s


    strongholds.


    As for Austin, all that he did made him focus more.


    Most of the cultivators talked about what Austin had done.


    "Wow, that Austin is amazing!"


    "Totally agreed. He could easily surpass anyone at this point."


    "No doubt that Austin is now the best cultivator among the young generation of the East Maind."


    "That''s right. Not even the young disciples of the top forces including the three holynds and the three


    prominent ns can match Austin."


    It was clear that Austin''s reputation and actions earned high praise and respect from these cultivators.


    However, it wasn''t applicable to all. Many cultivators still had different opinions about Austin.


    Some spoke ill about Austin, especially thoseing from the holynds, the prominent ns, and


    several first-ss sects. They did not think that Austin should be called the best among the young


    cultivators, and that he was just like anyone else in his generation in the East Maind.


    "There is no reason to think that Austin is the strongest young cultivator in the East Maind.


    A couple of years ago, many of the elites from the three holynds, the three prominent ns, and


    some first-ss sects all went to the four famous martial arts schools of the Middle Pilgrim Land.


    After spending so many years there, I bet that they are much more powerful.


    Once the elite disciples finish their education and return, for sure, Austin would just be a piece of cake


    for them to handle."


    "You''re right. I almost forgot about them.


    Once those excellent disciples in the Middle Pilgrim Land return, Austin would have no choice but to


    back away and he would not even dare stir up any more trouble."


    "Agreed. There is no doubt that those disciples are the most excellent elites.


    Maybe Austin is just better than us, but I am certain that he would just be finished off by those elites in


    a heartbeat."


    After these talks and recollection of the elites studying in the Middle Pilgrim Land, Austin had earned


    insults among the other young cultivators, who were deep inside just jealous of what Austin, who was


    almost the same age as them, could already do.


    Meanwhile, back in the headquarters of the Rudimentary Holy Land, there was a secret base.


    In the depths of the ce, there was a huge pce floating in the air.


    The pce was surrounded by dozens of old and mysterious arrays that were strong enough to stop


    anyone who tried to destroy the ce.


    Inside the pce, there was a meeting hall filled with frustrated elders.


    "Austin! Austin again! When can I stop hearing his name?"


    the man sitting in the middle shouted angrily with his hands raised in frustration.


    He gave off such a powerful aura with enormous amount of vital energy surrounding him, earning awe


    from the people around him.


    It was no doubt that this man was the holy lord of the Rudimentary Holy Land.


    "A few days ago, that young man took our Holy Son, Dave Huang alive, murdered Elder Derrick, and


    severely hurt Elder Geoffrey in the Sunset City.


    And what now? He dared to destroy our stronghold in the Beyond City!


    Clearly, Austin is our top enemy, and we should stop him before he does any more trouble," an old man


    sitting cross legged said slowly, emphasizing each word he said to create an impact.


    The man was a reclusive elder from the Rudimentary Holy Land.


    "Yes, yes, we must kill Austin.


    However, we should consider that his power is indeed terrifying that even Elder Derrick and Elder


    Geoffrey couldn''t match him.


    If we want to eliminate him, we must send more elders, or we do it ourselves,"


    another reclusive elder suggested.


    The holy lord heaved a deep breath. He thought about it for a moment and sighed.


    "That''s true. Austin is powerful and we can never forget that. He is a threat to us.


    Then again, the elder of the me Holy Land, who has been resurrected, is also scarily powerful as


    well. Even I am no match for him I have to admit.


    Since he has Austin''s back, it will be difficult for us to handle Austin, so we have to n this out


    smartly."


    The holy lord sighed again. He could not help but feel scared at the thought of the elder of the me


    Holy Land, who had been brought back to life in the Northern Mine District.


    ''Even though I had the ultimate magical treasure in the Northern Mine District, I still lost to that elder, ''


    he recalled.


    The whole hall fell into an eerie silence. Even then, everyone was busy in their thoughts, and all of


    them had the same thing in mind.


    They were hesitating whether they should really send their elders and their reclusive elders to hunt


    down Austin.


    It was ridiculous to pursue a brat.


    Besides, even if they did manage to take out Austin, it was no doubt that their holynd would be the


    "Why not we just hire people to eliminate him?


    We don''t have to dirty our own hands,"


    a reclusive elder suggested, breaking the long silence.


    The holy lord narrowed his eyes at the elder and asked, "What do you mean, Elder Jeremy?"


    With that question, he and the rest of the people in the hall all turned their attention to Elder Jeremy.


    Elder Jeremy felt intimidated by the looks all of a sudden, but he swallowed this feeling and continued,


    "I mean, why don''t we just hire people from the ughtering Sect to dispose Austin?"


    The other people exchanged looks and nodded at themselves.


    They all agreed with his idea.


    The holy lord looked at Elder Jeremy for a moment. However, it did not take long before he realized


    that there wasn''t any better idea than that.


    "Yes, that is a good idea.


    Well then, I will send men to contact the people in the ughtering Sect. I will hire them to take


    Austin''s life no matter how much it is going to take."


    The holy lord unconsciously clenched his hands into a fist. He hated Austin to the core.


    In the meeting hall, the other people looked at each other and also agreed. They, too, despised Austin


    for what he had done to them and their holynd.


    "However, I think it''s best that at the same time, we should also send several strong elders to track


    Austin down.


    No matter what it takes, we must take him down,"


    the holy lord dered with gritted teeth.


    At that very moment, a steward entered the hall and bowed towards the holy lord and the reclusive


    elders.


    "Sir, Ie here for some news.


    Alonzo Su, the deputy chief of the Deep Sea Commercial House, was killed by Yannick Ren.


    What''s more, Yannic has sent his men here and asked us to release Stacy Ren, his daughter.


    He threatened that if we do otherwise, he would dere war against our holynd,"


    the steward calmly reported to the holy lord.


    The holy lord''s eyes widened in surprise. "What?


    Alonzo Su is dead?"


    "That''s impossible! We sent ten elders to help him a couple of days ago!


    What happened? Howe he died at the hands of Yannick Ren?"


    a short and lean reclusive elder asked the steward in disbelief.


    "Pardon me, Elder Joseph, but Yannick is scarily good.


    Moreover, I heard that Ward Xiao and his men sneaked into the headquarters of the Deep Sea


    Commercial House and joined hands with Yannick to take Alonzo down,"


    the steward added.


    The reclusive elders of the Rudimentary Holy Land and even the holy lord were all shocked by the


    report.


    "What? Yannick Ren colluded with Ward Xiao? Is that really true?" the holy lord asked, not expecting to


    be surprised more than he was moments ago.


    "Yes, I am certain. After taking down Alonzo, Yannick held a huge feast and treated Ward Xiao in the


    headquarters of the Deep Sea Commercial House.

    The news has already spread across the East Maind,"


    the steward replied, still with a poker expression.


    The holy lord grunted. "Huh! I did not think that Yannick would conspire with that bandit Ward Xiao.


    Well then, it will be more difficult for us to deal with him,"


    the holy lord said with a frown even though he wanted to believe otherwise.


    Meanwhile, while the holy lord and his reclusive elders were having a meeting, Austin had already


    returned to the former headquarters of the me Holy Land.


    He smiled and felt satisfied after getting what he wanted, and that was to destroy Rudimentary Holy


    Land''s stronghold in the Beyond City.


    As soon as he came back, he saw Elder Sharp busy repairing the Sect-protecting Array along with


    Elder Brendan and Elder Hermit.


    Austin walked over towards them and asked Elder Sharp how long would it still take for them to fix the


    array.


    "Six days, more or less," the elder replied.


    Elder Sharp decided that once the array was repaired six dayster, he would announce to the entire


    East Maind that the me Holy Land was officially rebuilt.


    "Finally, I can already feel that daye!"


    Austin said excitedly.


    In the following six days, as Austin waited for the array to bepletely repaired, he stayed on the


    peak where he lived and cultivated in seclusion.
