Austin was with Stacy.
He flew towards where the disciples of the Flame Holy Land and the Primordial Sect were.
Stacy, without second thoughts, followed him.
Soon after, Austin appeared above the mountain and saw the two parties in a tense battle.
Yes, the disciples of the Flame Holy Land were incredibly powerful, but they were outnumbered by their enemy.
With a ratio of one disciple of the Flame Holy Land to five-six disciples of the Primordial Sect, it was impossible to win.
There were seventeen Emperor Realm masters in the members of the Primordial Sect, while there were fourteen Emperor Realm masters in the members of the Flame Holy Land.
Austin couldn't predict what would happen next.
Making use of their superior strength in numbers, the disciples of the Primordial Sect had divided into small teams to assault the disciples of the Flame Holy Land.
Power vs numbers. Neither of the parties gained the upper hand.
Soon after, the over fifty disciples of the Flame Holy Land found themselves tired and the numbers of the enemies were still capable. It was difficult to deal with their opponents.
"Guys, don't be aggressive," Rahul said to his companions through his spiritual sense, in between battle. "We need to break the siege and retreat."
He knew that they were at a disadvantage with numbers. If they didn't find a better way out, they would surely lose the battle and numbers of them would be murdered.
The other disciples of the Flame Holy Land agreed and followed his instruction. Augustus from the Primordial Sect, laughed out loud as he had seen through Rahul's mind as they battled.
"Did I hear it right?" he said through gritted teeth. He slashed as Rahul kept on dodging. He didn't stop. "Are you planning to flee? Humph! Fool! That's not going to happen. We'll kill all of you before you get away, you losers."
Rahul ignored Augustus's ferocious attempt to taunt him.
As Augustus offended and Rahul defended, two figures appeared above them.
Then, they came down.
With the arrival of two figures, the two parties stopped their fight.
They were no other than Austin and Stacy.
"Hello, Rahul, hey, guys! How have you been?"
Austin, despite the tension surrounding the air, greeted and smiled at the disciples of the Flame Holy Land.
"Austin, you're here!" Rahul exclaimed with surprise.
His face lit up, happiness evident in his voice.
"Little bastard, and Stacy Ren... Miss Ren." Bewilderment was in Augustus expression. Then, it turned into anger. "You... you two are still alive!" Austin smirked.
Stacy, on the other hand, had an unread emotion. "You didn't die in the Secret Valley," Augustus continued, gaping at the two.
"Nope," Austin replied.
Augustus had taken a dozen Emperor Realm masters of the Primordial Sect to the palace to look for them and entered the Secret Valley.
That was why he knew Austin and Stacy had gotten into the Secret Valley.
But since no one had found any sign of the two, many people believed Austin and Stacy had gotten killed in the Secret Valley.
To his astonishment, here they were, alive and kicking.
"So what?" Austin said. "Are you upset that I didn't die there?"
He had a defiant smile to mock the guy.
Augustus burst into laughter.
"You survived the Secret Valley and appeared in front of me," he said, still laughing. "What a good day! Looks like luck is on my side." Greed went through his eyes.
"You were gone for a long time. You must have gotten lots of treasures in the Secret Valley.
Give me what you have right now, or there will be grave consequences if you disobey," he continued, licking his lips.
In just a wave of hand, five Primordial Sect disciples of the Emperor Realm dashed forward and surrounded Austin and Stacy.
"You are just from a second-class sect. How dare you threaten me?"
Stacy said with contempt.
Augustus's face slightly changed for he knew that Stacy's father ran the Deep Sea Commercial House.
But soon, he made a decision.
"Stacy, it's a trial for all of us to pick up herbs here. Slaying is allowed among the disciples of different sects. No one needs to take the blame for taking other people's lives. Even if a sect has suffered a great loss in this valley, they can't avenge their disciples.
It's true you're superior to us. But now that you are here, you're just like one of us and you need to follow the rules.
