Chapter 3126 The Luxurious Lineup
After the order from the primary priest was disseminated, the armed and mercenary groups from the
western martial arts world, Middle Asia, Middle East, and the rest of the world were all intrigued.
The order stated that anyone who could stop and kill the easterner named Austin Lin would obtain a
generous reward of five billion dors.
The news spread like wildfire in the underground world.
A grand sum of five billion dors—
this bounty was extremely enormous and attractive.
Even if the task was almost impossible, with the extravagance of the reward, there would always be
people who would be willing to take the risk.
As a result, even the weaker armed and mercenary groups began to take action, only focusing on the
prize that they could acquire.
Austin''s route and location were made public by the Novel Court. All relevant information about him
was also released and could be checked through secret websites in the underground world.
With this, Austin became a top-ss moving target of the armed forces.
Countless armed men, mercenary groups, even anti-government factions, terrorists, and all kinds of
forces were tracking Austin down.
They prepared all kinds of weapons to deal with him—advanced artilleries, bazookas, armored
vehicles, and other destructive weapons.
There were about hundreds of thousands of armed men who readied and waited for the opportunity to
kill Austin.
The reward of five billion dors was just one of the means used by the Novel Court to try on killing
Austin off.
They had also manipted other methods to invite the most powerful cultivators from the western
martial arts world.
In an ancient castle, a secret dwelling could be found.
Inside the spacious basement of the castle, more than a dozen of thick red candles were brightly
burning, giving a surreal and gloomy atmosphere.
At the center of the basement was a dark red coffin made of luxurious woodwork.
"My lord, on behalf of the primary priest of the Novel Court, I havee to request you to intercept a
certain heretic from the east. This man''s name is Austin Lin."
A holy knight knelt in utmost respect in front of the coffin.
"Humph! What are those masters in your Novel Court doing? Why would you even ask for my help?"
a cold voice responded from inside the coffin.
"Please allow me to exin, my lord.
There were so many people in our Novel Court that were already killed by this evil heretic—including a
huge number of ancient holy knights that existed since the Middle Ages. We have suffered great losses
in terms of manpower and resources.
Our divine leader and several other god''s emissaries are also currently in secluded cultivation, unable

to take action.
That''s why our primary priest sent me here to request your aid.
Please ept these ancient blood essence as a gift from our primary priest.
If the task was sessfully finished, our primary priest would offer another batch of blood essence,"
the holy knight said as he took out a sealed wooden box and put it on the ground in front of the coffin.
Boom!
The lid of the dark red coffin was suddenly pushed away. A pale palm with long fingernails stretched
out in a blink of an eye. It picked up the wooden box on the ground and immediately withdrew into the
coffin.
"First-ss blood essence!
All right, I shall act upon your request,"
answered the being from the coffin.
At the same time on another mystic location, a holy knight appeared in the wilderness and knelt before
a vicious being under the moonlight.
"Sir, the primary priest of our Novel Court wants you to deal with a heretic from the east. Please ept
this gift as a preliminary reward for your services."
The holy knight took out a shabby parchment scroll and handed it to the werewolf who was howling to
the sky and absorbing the moonlight essence in the dead of night.
"This is the body refining secret skill of the ancient werewolves!
Wait, this is only half of it! Where is the other part? Why is it missing?"
The werewolf instantly grabbed the scroll and his eyes lit up with excitement.
"Sir, the ancient scroll was identally obtained by the primary priest at a certain auction. Even he has
no idea where the other half is,"
the holy knight respectfully exined.
"I see. I will hunt this heretic. You can count on my word,"
the werewolf responded.
In addition to the blood race and the werewolf race, the Novel Court also made arrangements to reach
upon dark wizards, elves, and other powerful races to deal with Austin.
At the same time, the powerful generals from various western countries were also instructed by the
Novel Court to prepare their advanced weaponry and ready for a full-scale war against Austin when the
time came.
Therefore, all kinds of advanced and elite aircraft, warships, armored tanks, explosives, and other
weapons were prepared. They were all set and ready to fight.
Because of Austin''s dispute against the Novel Court, the whole western world began to take action.
This showed how powerful and influential the Novel Court was.
The news of the joint forces being assembled also reached the martial arts world in the Brilliant
Kingdom.
"What? Are you serious? Just to deal with Austin, the Novel Court pulled the strings and nned to use
all the forces in the whole western world?
They even invited the fighting forces of the martial arts world and modern civilization!"
Everyone in the martial arts world of the Brilliant Kingdom was shocked upon hearing the news.
The whole thing sounded rather unbelievable and exaggerated.
They thought, ''Is it really necessary to make such a massive move for a single person?''
However, this only proved that the Novel Court couldn''t ignore Austin''s great power. They needed to
assemble every firepower that they had to ensure their victory over Austin.
At the core headquarters of the Novel Court in Vantour City, a servant asked the primary priest in a
careful tone, "Your Grace, isn''t this going a little too far?"
"This Austin is far too superior to what he actually appears to be.
I think that even with all these great forces, he will still trample over us,"
the primary priest answered with a straight face.
"What?! He can''t be that powerful.
If he was, it would mean that he is a divine god that descended from the heavens.
Your Grace, maybe you''re just thinking too much into it."
The man couldn''t believe what he just heard.
"Maybe…"
the primary priest replied with no hints of emotion on his face.
Then he stopped talking and continued to drink the wine from his goblet.
Soon after, Austin had heard about the preparations of the Novel Court to capture him.
"Heh? It seems like the senior leaders of the Novel Court really think highly of me."
Austin sneered. There wasn''t a hint of rm on his face.
"Austin, do you understand the power of modern technology?
The aircraft and warships of the western countries are too powerful. Have you heard of the nuclear
bomb? It represents the most powerful weapon of Earth''s modern civilization.
It is said that once these bombs are unleashed, they are destructive enough to vanquish the whole
world!
This kind of power is too horrifying. I don''t think our warriors can fight something against this.
Do you think we should considerying low for a while?"
The Snow-treading Old Man, the Heavenly Swordsman, the Moon Taoist, Bowen from the East
Mountain Sect, and the other elders were worried about the situation they were facing and persuaded
Austin to rethink his decisions.
"The nuclear bomb is truly cruel. Master, why don''t we hide for a while until things be a little less
intense?"
Even Yulia persuaded him.
"Don''t worry. There''s no need to dy the inevitable. This time, I''m going to finish off all the cultivators
in the western world,"
Austin answered with a ridiculously calm smile on his face.
"Austin, you have to understand that modern technology on Earth is developing very well.
If it was the ancient times, even I could crush all the weapons, warships, and explosives with just a
single blow.
However, times have changed. It would be really difficult for us to fight against these modernized
weapons,"
the mountain god convinced Austin. He didn''t want Austin to take a pretty huge risk.
