The news had gone viral very soon—Elder Hart of the Sky Sect was brutally killed by Austin's conspirator, a woman at the Primal Holy Realm!
The whole Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom was once again outraged because of the death of another prominent cultivator.
Since everyone in the Sky Sect knew that Elder Hart was an excellent cultivator at the Primal Holy Realm, they couldn't help but be shaken by the news.
Generally, in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom, a cultivator at the Heaven Realm would be competent enough to gain considerable prestige and dominance over a certain area of the kingdom. Considering that they were weaker than those at the Primal Holy Realm, one could only imagine how truly powerful the cultivators at the Primal Holy Realm were!
An average cultivator would regard the Primal Holy Realm as a legendary realm that only a few outstanding cultivators, or rather great masters, would be able to reach.
But now that such a rare and excellent cultivator who was able to reach this realm, was unexpectedly murdered, furor quickly took hold of the entire Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom.
No one wanted to calm down. Elder Hart's death was a huge loss to the sect, and everyone wanted retribution.
With him being involved in the whole thing, no matter how indirectly, Austin's name was once again on everyone's lips.
"That Austin guy really had a conspirator at the Primal Holy Realm, huh! It's so astonishing!
Now I know how he managed to capture the strong cultivators at the Heaven Realm from those powerful sects,"
one person remarked to another, his face lighting up because of his newfound realization.
"Yeah, I thought of that as well. At the beginning, I felt strange that Austin—that cocky guy—really dared to defy the powerful sects of the kingdom.
But now I know why he was so cocky and fearless—he was just backed by a woman who was at the Primal Holy Realm. Kinda makes him incredibly unimpressive,"
another person exclaimed as he rolled his eyes.
"Well, let's wait and see how badly that bumptious loser will be punished. The Sky Sect lost a strong cultivator at the Primal Holy Realm. They will certainly waste no time and quickly kill him as a form of revenge,"
someone surmised.
"Humph, you know what? I think that that cocky Austin guy is just too cocky to even know how strong he is.
Yes, he is with a woman at Primal Holy Realm, but I think he is completely oblivious about the fact that there are cultivators at the Semi-holy Realm within those powerful sects, and their power is far more formidable than his woman conspirator!
Does he really think that a woman who is merely at the Primal Holy Realm would be able to destroy our kingdom? What a clueless doofus! In his dreams!"
another person interjected in a mocking tone, responding to others in their small talk.
"Elder Hart was such a rare talent in our sect, but he perished so unexpectedly.
That is just ... unforgivable!
Austin, that barbaric and bloodthirsty guy, he would reap the harvest of his misdeeds. He doesn't deserve to exist in this world anymore!"
At this moment, a serious conversation commenced within a spacious and lofty palace amid the compound of the hazy Sky Sect headquarters in a thick haze. The voice of a stalwart man draped in luscious purple clothing boomed just now. His face was stern, and his mere aura was enough to command the attention of everyone who heard him.
He was sitting in a high back chair which was at the center of the palace and in a higher position than other seats. His body was gleaming as if he was made out of precious stones. It was the manifestation of his extraordinary power. Being on the pedestal, he looked down towards everyone with his eyes exuding divine-light-like brightness, and it added to his air of superiority.
Below him were two rows of people in their seats, each of whom also emanated an aura of extreme sternness.
The man in purple was their leader, the Sky Sect's top leader, while the others were the elder dignitaries in the sect.
Among those captured by Austin was Keyon, an established and important personality from the Ghost Puppet Sect. Soon, the news of his abduction was transmitted to the sect headquarters near the Ghost Puppet City.
Inside the Ghost Puppet Sect headquarters, in a roomy secret chamber protected by layers of Restriction Array, an elder wearing the blackest robe was sitting quietly with his legs crossed.
In front of him was a tall, black puppet.
The said puppet emitted wave after wave of formidable energy that contorted, twisted and even split the space around it.
With his hands, the elder in a black robe performed a series of cultivation formulas and directed all of them to the head of the black puppet.
He was cultivating the black puppet with his power.
He was so concentrated in what he was doing that he almost didn't notice that a new message was sent to his Contact Jade Slip. After catching it, he immediately stopped cultivating the puppet and used his spiritual sense to read the message.
"What? Keyon, the Holy Heritor of our sect, was captured by a guy called Austin!"
The intensity of his shout was able to shake the room he was in.
"I order every member of the Ghost Puppet Sect to go out and to track down Austin. We must kill him!
We must rescue Keyon!"
