When he could finally perceive his surroundings again, Austin found that he had already returned to the entrance of the Fallen Immortal World. He was in a forest near the space crack.
The gnome and Violet stood beside Austin too, and they were also gazing at the environment with curiosity.
"It seems like we accidentally triggered a teleportation array, which threw us out instantly,"
the gnome remarked with a bitter smile.
Violet nodded in agreement.
Austin agreed too. And the thought of the numerous special ruling crystals that he had just seen lying around in the palace made his heart ache.
Before they had time to dwell on it, more people began to come out.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Figures of cultivators continued to appear out of thin air. After a closer inspection, Austin recalled that these were all the cultivators who had entered the Fallen Immortal World earlier.
After a few moments, he saw that every single person who had entered the Fallen Immortal World had been thrown out.
"Looks like we aren't the only one. I think that's all of them over there. That's a bit of comfort,"
Violet said with a smile.
"That is right. Either something shady is going on, or it really is time for the Fallen Immortal World to close, which was why everyone was transported out. In any case, we are out of luck.
It seems that our exploration of the Fallen Immortal World is completely over,"
Austin remarked with a nod.
"Elder Sharp!"
Austin suddenly saw Elder Sharp, the three other elders, and the four stewards of the Flame Holy Land. He called them out immediately.
The disciples of the Flame Holy Land were also assembled nearby under Elder Brendan.
Austin went over there to join them. Perhaps they might know what was going on.
Before he could ask, Elder Brendan had a response, "Let's go back to the headquarters. We can talk about this later."
With a wave of his hand, Elder Sharp led the people of his sect away. They left instantly, ignoring the general hubbub and confusion.
Just as the people of the Flame Holy Land left, dozens of figures appeared on the top of a mountain nearby. It looked like they were discussing something, and their gazes were locked at the place Austin and his friends had been standing.
If he himself were here, he would have recognized them; most of these people were elite disciples from the Middle Pilgrim Land and the four schools. They belonged to the young generation.
Among them were the Holy Son of the Unworldly Sect, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Mysterious Sect, that of the Nether Sect, and that of the Black Inferno Sect. Also present were a few young and elite disciples of the four schools. They seemed to have joined forces, since none of them was showing any hostility towards each other and they were discussing one common enemy.
"So, you are certain that our target is the Holy Heritor of the Flame Holy Land of the East Mainland. What is his name again? Austin?"
The Holy Son of the Unworldly Sect asked in a cold tone, with a killing intent visible in his eyes.
"I am fairly certain.
It is said that this man helped numerous people from several sects of the East Mainland to climb on the stone ladders when they were at the foot of the nine mountains. Legend of his exploits travelled fast, and I heard rumors.
Thus, I sent someone to investigate those sects.
Finally, all the leads came through and pointed to one person: Austin, the Holy Heritor of the Flame Holy Land,"
a young man in purple slowly responded.
He was the same talented disciple of the Rose Finch School who had fought against Austin in the palace on the golden mountain.
"Right. Now you mention it, I recall one more thing.
Back in that ancient herbal garden, this guy used his Omnipotent Bodily Skill to help a group of disciples from the East Mainland in grabbing the harvest from an entire part of the garden.
So I guess those people were also from the East Mainland, most probably from the Flame Holy Land just like him.
It is obvious that as the Holy Heritor of the Flame Holy Land, he would help his disciples,"
another young man recalled.
"I also sent people to investigate that guy as well. Another interesting thing is I do believe that the guy who scrambled for dragon blood crystals in the low hill was also him, Austin, I mean.
At that time, he brought more than a dozen people with him to fight for the dragon blood crystals.
Further investigation revealed that all of them were from the East Mainland. And you might be interested to know that they are all very famous in the East Mainland.
