Despite working together, the eight governing gods of the Long Sword Sect couldn't defeat Austin. They even lost one member, and now there were only seven of them. What was worse, they all got injured.
Winning against Austin seemed so far-fetched.
"There's no way we can win this.
Retreat!" the leader of the Long Sword Sect ordered.
Wasting no time, the seven governing gods and the others from their sect fell back and bolted away.
They headed towards a remote place situated in the depths of the headquarters of the Long Sword Sect.
The area was full of energy and laws, and it was even shrouded in dazzling light.
It was the most important place for their entire sect—the sacred altar.
"Hurry! We have to reach the sacred altar before Austin finds us!"
Although the leader of the Long Sword Sect sent this message to all the members through his spiritual sense, it was evident that he was getting really frantic.
The altar had a myriad of defense arrays, defense magic treasures, all kinds of lands of danger, and lands of death. It was almost impossible for outsiders to enter.
Even governing gods might have trouble barging in.
"Whoa! Look!
The people of the Long Sword Sect are retreating!"
The creatures watching in the distance were all stupefied.
'Are they retreating?! Is this for real?!
How the hell did that happen?
They're fighting a young man, right?
He's just a genuine premium-grade divine god, yet he forced such a powerful sect to retreat! You've gotta be kidding!' the creatures thought to themselves.
They were all pretty shaken up.
"That guy is too powerful!"
"I know! Austin has totally made a name in the Sword Cosmos.
I don't think he would ever be forgotten here."
"Such a fighting record is unprecedented. This fight will definitely be written in history."
"This young man had battled a super force all by himself! He is indeed a legend!"
"Have you seen that?
He has even taken that governing god as his prisoner!"
Discussions among the crowd filled the air.
They fixed their eyes on Austin and watched him in disbelief.
"Humph! You're not going anywhere!"
Faced with the retreat of the Long Sword Sect, Austin was left speechless. He thought it was ridiculous that they were trying to run away from him, so he activated his bodily movement skill and swiftly went after them.
"Come on, move faster!" the leader of the Long Sword Sect urged.
He had already lost the will to fight and was just feeling desperate to get away from him.
"Sir, we need to set up the Time Bridge!"
a reclusive elder reminded their panic-stricken leader.
"Oh, right!
Everyone, let's all work together to build the Time Bridge!" the leader of the Long Sword Sect roared.
Together, the seven governing gods of the Long Sword Sect released a myriad of spatial runes straight away.
Boom!
A long bridge made of spatial law runes materialized in front of them.
It was remarkably mysterious.
In just the blink of an eye, all the members of the Long Sword Sect suddenly found themselves standing on the bridge.
"Nice! What a brilliant spatial law!
It looks like these governing gods are proficient in both the laws of space and time," Austin commented.
His initial plan was to hunt down the remaining seven governing gods. However, seeing the bridge they built stopped him in his tracks.
After a while, his brows raised as though he just came up with an idea.
He then summoned thousands of his slaves who stayed in one of his human worlds.
"Take every valuable thing here," he ordered his slaves.
Austin had countless slaves at his disposal and they would do everything he ordered.
He had always kept some of his slaves in his human world so that he could readily summon them whenever he needed them.
"Yes, master!"
all of his slaves answered in unison.
Some of them were at the Divine Realm, others were ordinary divine gods, and there were even a few genuine divine gods.
At this point, all of them began to take action. They split up in groups and collected all valuable treasures that they could find.
"Keep your eyes wide open. Don't miss anything useful and precious.
We are going to bring all of those back to our headquarters,"
Austin reiterated.
"Yes, master. We understand," the slaves replied.
They did their best to find anything precious in every nook and cranny as they were told.
"What the hell..."
In the distance, the creatures who were watching this scene were rendered speechless.
Just a minute ago, they clearly saw Austin as an invincible legend. However, his actions afterward showed his greedy side.
"Sons of bitches! Stop it!"
Inside the sacred altar, the seven governing gods of the Long Sword Sect felt extremely pissed off as they witnessed how Austin and his slaves were looting the area.
Actually, the most valuable things of the Long Sword Sect were kept inside the sacred altar.
However, there were still a lot of treasures lying around their headquarters. As a major force that had ruled the Sword Cosmos for so long, it was just natural for them to accumulate tons of fortune which were beyond measure. It could be safely said that every treasure in their possession would be considered of great value.
After all, for major sects like the Long Sword Sect, they would not store any useless items in their headquarters.
