"Answer me. Be honest or your soul will be ruined!"
Austin said in a cold voice.
Bang!
The moment Austin finished his words, the killer's head exploded. He died on the spot.
Austin frowned in disappointment.
'Probably this is a rule for the members of the Slaughtering Sect.
If the assassin fails in his mission and gets caught accidentally, his head will explode automatically.
In this way, no one would be able to track down the headquarters of the Slaughtering Sect, ' he thought.
"Are you all right, Austin?"
Suddenly he saw a dozen figures in the sky. Quickly they landed beside Austin.
They were the disciples of the Flame Holy Land. Rahul was among them too.
"I've heard that killers from the Slaughtering Sect had appeared and wanted to assassinate you. So I rushed here immediately,"
said Rahul.
In the last six months, Austin had spent most of his time practicing sword skills in the Divine Sword Cliff.
Rahul had attended to all the daily affairs in the Five Elements City in his absence.
"Don't worry; I'm good. I managed to kill them all. Let's go back,"
Austin replied calmly.
He led the disciples of the Flame Holy Land and they began their journey back to the Five Elements City.
He knew how to practice the Five Elements Dominant Swordsmanship. If he wanted to employ that sword skill to full capacity, he needed to have a better understanding of the rules of five elements and needed to do more practice.
Since he had already learnt how to use that sword skill, there was no reason for him to continue staying in the Divine Sword Cliff.
Austin and his companions were on their way back to the Five Elements City.
"Congratulations, Holy Heritor! You have figured out the secret of the Divine Sword Cliff!
You are the second person I know, who has been able to do that."
A voice suddenly reached their ears. Austin found it a familiar one.
"It's you, sir!"
Austin was surprised when he found an old man standing before him. It was the man who had accompanied him to the Divine Sword Cliff last time.
"What's going on? What do you know about that secret?" Austin asked.
He was curious to know what the old man meant.
"Long time ago, a man accidentally saw the sword-light of the Divine Sword Cliff while he was passing the Five Elements City.
Then he comprehended swordsmanship in front of the Divine Sword Cliff, like you did.
In the end, he was able to figure out the secret of the cliff,"
the old man narrated the incident.
"Sir, so did you meet that person?"
Austin was shocked.
"Yes, I did. He called himself as the Sword Emperor,"
the old man revealed.
"The Sword Emperor!"
Austin was quite shocked. 'This old man has met the Sword Emperor before.
The Sword Emperor left the Prime Martial World a long time ago.
If the elder had met him, it means that he is also very old.
It is also a fact that the higher a cultivator's cultivation base is, the longer he can live, ' Austin mused.
"It's a matter of great honor for me that I got the chance to serve him for a period of time in the past.
He helped me a lot in my cultivation.
Later, he left the Five Elements City. I haven't seen him since then.
Although he called himself as the Sword Emperor, I knew that his real cultivation base was far higher than the Emperor Realm.
I bet, at that time he was at least at the Major-perfection Realm.
So many years have passed by.
He must have become terrifyingly powerful now."
The old man became thoughtful as he remembered the past days.
'It is unbelievable that this old man served the Sword Emperor and was taught by him, ' Austin thought.
"Did the Sword Emperor tell you where he was going?
I wonder if he is still in the East Mainland,"
