Soon, Austin found a beautiful, small mountain in the Flame Holy Land and settled down there.
The Earth Hermit had also volunteered to stay at the former headquarters of the Flame Holy Land, intending to help with the reconstruction of the sect.
By his own account, in the beginning he had no intention of getting involved in these things. But the members of the major sects in the East Mainland had always been meaning to rob him. Currently, they were trying to track him down. Some of them even harbored the evil intent to kill him and seize the treasures of the Purple Immortal from him.
In his indignation, the Earth Hermit decided to side with the Flame Holy Land. He decided to play his part in the fight against those major sects of the East Mainland. Those sects had become the symbol of oppression.
It was quite understandable that Austin, the three elders and even Elder Sharp welcomed their new ally with open arms. For them it was the situation of the more, the merrier.
Compared to the other cultivators in the East Mainland, this old man could be regarded as a great master, who possessed a very high-level cultivation base, and who had witnessed vicissitudes of disciples of various top sects.
Moreover, he seemed to be making steady progress recently in practicing the martial skills left by the Purple Immortal. Due to this, his cultivation base was getting better and increasing to higher levels.
Surprisingly, his true strength was equivalent to that of the holy lords in the East Mainland.
Naturally, Austin and the rest felt it was a good thing that such a powerful cultivator was willing to take the side of the Flame Holy Land.
On the small mountain, there was a secret cultivation room which dated back to ancient times. Austin had already taken it up as his exclusive secret room.
Being the Holy Heritor of the Flame Holy Land, Austin had been granted some privileges that ordinary disciples were ineligible to enjoy.
On top of this, Austin now became a hard-core disciple, whom Elder Sharp and the other three elders valued the most.
In other words, Austin had become a senior member with high status in the Flame Holy Land.
In the secret cultivation room, Austin sat pondering.
Austin sat there cross-legged, planning to start cultivating. Suddenly a message reached his Soul Sea telepathically. It was sent by Brady.
"Caroline has made a breakthrough and reached the medium stage of Emperor Realm."
"Really? Is that so?"
Austin was overjoyed to hear that.
He concentrated his mind and teleported himself into the City model inside him. He ended up on the street where Caroline had been cultivating.
"She has indeed made a breakthrough and reached the medium stage of Emperor Realm!"
Austin said excitedly after detecting the energy fluctuation that Caroline was giving off. It was really good news for him.
Having made the breakthrough only a little while ago, Caroline was still sitting cross-legged in meditation. She was consolidating her newly-made progress.
A moment later, Caroline opened her eyes and stood up. She had detected the materialization and presence of Austin some time ago.
Thinking back, it was not long ago that Caroline had finished her trial on the first floor of the Slave Tower. It had lasted for a certain amount of time. She had been through numerous life-or-death fights with sand men there.
Added to this, there was her freshly achieved breakthrough in cultivation base. There was an air of valor and heroism about her, as if she had regained part of her former bearing of a queen.
Some time ago, after confessing her love for Austin, her life seemed immersed in love. Caroline had turned completely into a lovable little woman, who was infatuated with her lover.
Now, since her relationship with Austin had settled down, her queenly demeanor seemed to have found its way back to her. She had found a new direction and aim to strive for.
"Oh! My queen is back,"
Austin, who had noticed this even now in her, said with a smile.
"Austin, you are such a glib talker!"
Caroline walked up to Austin in a natural manner. She shot him a dark glance and then softly leaned against him. She fell into his arms like a forlorn lover who had been separated from her love for a long time.
As his hands moved across her body, he could feel her soft, smooth waist. Smelling the wafts of natural tantalizing fragrance emanating from her body, Austin was involuntarily intoxicated to some extent.
A woman of incomparable beauty leaning against the sturdy body of a handsome man, pleasant seductive fragrance pervading the air were bound to have affect. The ardent affection between the two love birds was almost tangible. All of it was a sight of sheer romance.
Gently, Austin's arms reached out. He put them around Caroline and drew her into a tight embrace.
Caught off guard, Caroline instinctively let out an exclamation of surprise. It took her just a second to realize what had just happened. She felt that her whole body was pinned fast against Austin.
"What are you doing?" she uttered shyly.
Feeling embarrassed, a pink flush spread over Caroline's cheeks.
However, Austin's arms were so strong that she couldn't stop the feeling of security and comfort. His hug made her feel loved and cared for, thus, she spontaneously relaxed her body and her mind. This made all her strength fade and left her powerless to struggle.
"What do you want to do? Someone might see us!"
