Chapter 2840 Pay Allegiance To You


    Austin left his words suspended in the air, leaving the three spiritual souls dumbfounded.


    Destroying them would be a piece of cake for Austin.


    The three of them had personal issues with Austin to deal with, but by the end of it, they were still


    defeated.


    The souls of the Sword Pce''s leader and the Yaksha Pce''s leader were at loss. They were


    desperate to have something to trade so Austin would let them go.


    They shifted their attention towards each other and thought deeply. It seemed like they were having a

    mental conversation as the both of them fell into silence.


    Austin''s patience grew thin. He waited for them toe up with an answer, but none of them


    answered.


    "Time''s up."


    Austin''s voice was low and deadly, and his eyes glinted with the desire to kill.


    When it came to his enemies, Austin left no room for mercy. Since they couldn''t offer anything useful


    for him, he thought that he would rather have them dead for good. They were nothing but a nuisance.


    "I ran into a mysterious ancient relic," the soul of the Sword Pce''s leader blurted out. Recognizing


    that Austin had the upper hand in this situation, he suddenly interjected, as an effort to save himself. "I


    can tell you where you can find it.


    You''re going to be very interested in this ancient relic, Austin, since you''re very adept when ites to


    your swordsmanship."


    The Sword Pce''s leader had to set aside his animosity for Austin for just a few moments to liberate


    his soul of this unfortunate situation. He opted to spill the details about the ancient relic.


    "Is that so?" Interested, Austin lifted his head to look at him. "Tell me more about it,"


    he demanded.


    "This ancient relic is located in the chaotic void.


    I spotted a fluctuation of the sword aura when I practiced my swords skills in there. Curious, I went


    there.


    Then, I broke into another universe.


    In there, a secret ce was found where brilliant sword-lights came from.


    I was about to explore the ce.


    But before I could even do so, I was cut into pieces by a beam of a sword-light, located hundreds of


    thousands of miles away. I almost died in that instant.


    Fortunately, my spiritual soul hid in a magic treasure forged by the genuine immortal and managed to


    escape.


    There must be some valuable treasures in there that could be rted to the mastery of swords in that


    particr ce."


    As the soul of the Sword Pce''s leader finished exining, Austin was hooked.


    "You almost got killed by a beam of sword-light?"


    Austin was taken aback.


    After all, the Sword Pce''s leader was remarkably strong.


    Despite so, one beam of sword-light from this ndestine ce had almost annihted him even if it


    was hundreds of thousands of miles away! This could only mean that the power that the sword-light


    held was indeed terrifying.


    "If you let me live, I''ll take you to that secret ce.


    With the strength that you possess, you have a good chance of surviving that ce.


    Besides, I have been practicing swordsmanship for years. I have also gained some insights on sword


    skills.


    I''m more than willing to teach you everything that I know about swordsmanship.


    As long as you spare my life, I could be useful to you. What do you say, Austin?" the soul of the Sword


    Pce''s leader offered.


    He has finally realized that there was nothing more important than his own life. With that in mind, he


    abandoned his pride, and begged for mercy.


    "I see." Austin rubbed his chin, and furrowed his brows in deep contemtion. "But you killed hundreds


    of millions of creatures in the Central World. I can''t just let that go," Austin said broodingly.


    Should he destroy his soul, or let him live? He was torn. He paced back and forth as he thought of a


    rational decision to make things work on his favor without having any negative repercussions.


    Initially, Austin nned on wiping out the soul of the Sword Pce''s leader entirely. But he made quite


    an exciting proposition. The ancient relic he mentioned definitely piqued Austin''s interest, and he was


    now itching to explore it.


    "How about this?" the soul of the Sword Pce''s leader pronounced. He knew that Austin had no


    intentions of sparing his life so he offered him a deal that would serve them both. "I will give you my


    spiritual soul orb. I will serve under yourmand from now on!"


    The soul of the Sword Pce''s leader looked into Austin''s eyes directly to indicate that he was earnest


    in his offer.


    All of them acknowledged that he was a powerful cultivator. He knew that the only way for him to


    survive was to give Austin his spiritual soul orb. Through this, all Austin''s concerns about sparing his


    life would be lifted.


    If Austin were to forcefully extract his spiritual soul orb, his spiritual soul would instantly explode.


    "Are you really willing to give your own spiritual soul orb to me?" Austin repeated.


    He had to admit that he was definitely surprised with this offer. He hadn''t seen this oneing.


    "Yes, I do," the soul of the Sword Pce''s leader confirmed.


    He gritted his teeth and balled his fists. It was unfortunate that this was the only way for him to save his


    soul. But if these were different circumstances, he would never do such a thing.


    At this point, however, this was the wisest course of action.


    This was the only way that Austin would let him off the hook.


    "Deal."


    Austin let a small smile form on his lips out of triumph.


    This could be truly beneficial for him. After all, the Sword Pce''s leader was very strong.


    As soon as both parties agreed in this arrangement, the Sword Pce''s leader handed his spiritual


    soul orb to Austin.


    Austin refined his spiritual soul orb and he immediately established a subtle connection with the


    spiritual soul of the Sword Pce''s leader.


    He could crush the spiritual soul of the Sword Pce''s leader any time he pleased using his mind. With


    this, the leader was now at his mercy.


    "You can rebuild your body," Austin ordered.


    With a wave of his hand, countless precious natural resources and high-grade divine pills floated in


    front of the spiritual soul of the Sword Pce''s leader.


    The spiritual soul opened his mouth and absorbed everything.


    As soon as he consumed all the items, he swiftly advanced into a corner of the secret room and began


    rebuilding his body.


    Restoring his physical body was fairly easy for him since his spiritual soul remained intact.


    "What about you two?"


    Austin red at the souls of the Yaksha Pce''s leader and heaven crow race''s chief.


    "I know you wouldn''t let me go easy, as well.


    Just like the Sword Pce''s leader, I''m also willing to pay allegiance to you and surrender my spiritual


    soul orb to you."


    There was no hint of hesitation in the Yaksha Pce''s leader''s voice. He, too, was desperate to survive


    this ordeal. He quickly handed his spiritual soul orb to Austin.


    Austin simply nodded his head, and epted the orb.


    ''He would also serve as a great asset to me, '' Austin thought. The leader of the Yaksha Pce was


    once heralded as one of the greatest masters in the universe. He would also serve as a great ally.


    Austin immediately refined his spiritual soul orb.


    He took out another batch of treasures and pills that would be helpful in recovering his physical body.


    Lastly, he turned to the spiritual soul of the heaven crow race''s chief. He raised his eyebrows and


    waited for his response.


    Unlike the other two, he had his own reservations. He was unsure of what he could offer Austin.


    After all, his personal issues with Austin were not as grand as the other two leaders had.


    But since he was already involved in this, he was aware that Austin wouldn''t let him off the hook so


    easily.


    "What about you?" Austin finally said.


    He had a menacing smile stered on his face.


    "I''m willing to give my spiritual soul orb as well."


    After a short pause, the chief eventually gave in. He realized that he had no other choice but to take the


    course the other two leaders made.


    Reluctantly, he handed his spiritual soul orb to Austin.


    Now that Austin had obtained their spiritual soul orbs, he had now three powerful subordinates in his


    arsenal.


    He had their spiritual soul orbs and he connected with them. He felt assured that the three of them


    would not do anything sinister since their souls were at his disposal. He could easily kill them with his


    mind in a matter of seconds, so he was certain that they would never think of betraying him.


    An hourter, the leader of the Yaksha Pce, the leader of the Sword Pce and the chief of the


    heaven crow race had rebuilt their bodies. They stepped closer to Austin.


    "Don''t worry. Although I am your master, I am lenient with my people.


    I won''t interfere too much with your lives or subject you into unnecessary public disgrace.


    Also, there''s no need to let others know about our new rtionships.


    You can go back to your own ces. If I need any help, I will send you message."


    Austin shifted his gaze at the three of them. He made sure that they all understood his rules.


    Hearing Austin say so, they were all relieved. They held their physical bodies for a while in


    appreciation.


    All of them were remarkable and well-known figures in the universe. They had a very high status to


    uphold.


    If Austin really treated them like his servants andmanded them to run his errands in public, they


    would feel degraded and humiliated.


    Knowing that Austin was a benevolent person made their hearts wash over with relief.
